Even though I'm still a bit miffed at how my corpse was treated.

I really don't think I read that game based upon this remark :thinking:

Our accounts are old enough to have started their own accounts

Bumpo

Gonna start my game now and put in a couple hours at least, will have a stream up on the b8 discord if anyone cares to tune in and see who's items I find :D

Is there ever much conversation about runs while they're ongoing and who's blocked by what/etc?

Nice, we got a lot of late signups. I'll put in a few hours later tonight probably.

What's the target duration?

I spent a lot of time in January customizing Stardew Valley YAML files to get a Community Center goal run that didn't lock relevant items in locations that are are too far off track from things your normally want to be doing in a CC run.

My new years resolution is to roll scum at least once. I think I went 0/6 in 2023

##Grab Box

I think red basically has Squatter's Rights to Disneyland at this point

There are mountains in Japan, I'll allow it

7 PM deadline.

This is missing vital information

what if we organize an immediate ##NL to screw up the day/night cycle?

Bally's is The Horshoe now, and if you're a Harry Potter fan I highly recommend the Potted Potter comedy show if they are still playing there (I believe they are at least through the end of the year). It's a pretty cheesy 2 man comedy show, but it was overall pretty wholesome and played very well to a couple of long time fans of HP.

Unless I misread the vibe, red did not particularly enjoy his vegas trip.

Serves him right for vomiting on me =P

As soon as she saw you actually flipped the disastrous mess of a role you claimed

Vanilla/Vanilla? the problem wasn't the role PM, it was how ulti was trying to read between the lines to see something that wasn't there. While simultaneously appearing to accept a vanilla dayscan of himself.

Even if he ultimately wanted me dead he didn't need to pull the trigger as soon as i grabbed the box, he could have waited 23 hours and 59 minutes to end day at the normal time.

So it was particularly anti-town behavior, despite actually being a town role

Whatever it takes

This should not include gaslighting, for the record.

Getting you there was the entire point of yelling at you

Yes, my own improvement was entirely because of you. /s

You are being entirely too self involved to declare the entire game was decided day 1 with your own mislynch. And I'm sure it's not fun to go out day 1, but please don't pretend that you didn't give us reasons just because those reasons happened to be wrong.

confusing games make things easier for scum. Red saw it immediately and claimed miller for a reason.

Red claimed miller not because the game was crazy but because scum didn't have a godfather. The game being crazy caused his miller claim to somewhat backfire, which he admitted himself.

But ultimately we got to read your PM. Your first one at least, the only one you had access to when you died and it very clearly did not say you had any kind of ability. Meanwhile you insisted in DTC that we lynched "confirmed town power" which you absolutely were not. You being given a 2nd role with powers after you died doesn't mean you weren't actually just a claimed vanilla at the time.

You are 90% of why town lost. Game ended with that idiotic day one mislynch and I was right about everything.

Town may have lost, but I won.

If you didn't want to get lynched then follow you own advice and don't type day 1. I didn't make you say suspicious things. I didn't make you fail to understand your role PM. I didn't make you pretend to be day scanned vanilla only to be confused about maybe possibly somewhat being unlynchable pgo.

Yeah, it was a mislynch, you were town, and that's something for me to learn from, but I was looking for scum in earnest and make decisions for the right reasons.

I don't know everyone's role in advance (that's kinda the point of these things?) and so you'll have to forgive me if I try not to be entirely results-based in my process. A certain amount of being incorrect is baked into being uninformed town.

What were the boons for FD?

I know the first one was gonna be a vig shot. But my first gamble was between you and Corrik, hoping to find a night kill. But you were both scum so

Then I got removed from game before I could make a second guess

Not The Onion?

That's a feature to them, not a flaw, as those who leave for that reason would be less likely to have voted Republican

I mean, it's RT, so it's a percentage of people who gave a good or bad review - and I personally thought this was WAY better than Shang Chi and that hovered around like 90% I think? I mean, it's just my opinion of course, but 60% on RT is just really not-great

Interesting. I loved Shang Chi and this was good, but imo Shang Chi is one of the best since end game. Maybe second for me behind Guardians 3?

I could kind of see it in the first movie because of the whole AI brainwashing thing. I could see that resulting in a kinda wooden personality. The problem is that even in the flashbacks she wasn't that different

And she's not like magically charismatic in this one, but she's better. Meanwhile Kamala is actually just a delight from start to finish. Monica falls somewhere in the middle I guess

Saw The Marvels last night and it was actually pretty good. It was charming and had heart and didn't try to be too much.

Articles - including "An" - don't count and putting

For some reason if I were searching for them I would always consider it to be "An Inconvenient Truth", I would never dissociate the "An" for that one even if you realistically could.

Same with "The" Netherlands. No one says I'm going to "The Germany" or "The France", but the "The" feels required for Netherlands and Philippines so I don't think I'd ever not search for it with the the first.

$5000
16th president
An Inconvenient Truth
El Salvador
El Topo
electric eel
electrical discharge
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy IX
Five Guys
The Little Mermaid
The Matrix
Red XIII
Sixteen Candles
Some Like It Hot
The Netherlands
(un)invited

The only one I'm not sure on is (un)invited. Could potentially go between $5000 and 16th president, but it depends on what it is referencing I think. Is it a title of something? Or just a random word with no context? I guess netherlands is questionable as well, but it's not a title like mermaid/matrix so I think it's fine to consider the "The".

that is a name I have not heard in a long time

A+ reference

I thought afterlife was pretty good

What's the point of the statement then? Almost everyone agrees those things are bad. She said it was half of people who supported Trump.

You can argue about "half", but at that point you are determining what % of Trump's supporters fall into those categories, and the issue is that it's a problematically high %. Whether you settle at 49% or 18% or 26% or whatever you think it really should be, it's a problem. Not only is it a problem, but it's a high enough % that it's the kind of rhetoric that won him the nomination. And sure, a large % of republicans allowed themselves to be fooled that he's just a "successful businessman" that they can hold their nose while they cast a vote for him.. But you can't deny the not-insignificant percentage of mask-off terrible people who loved Trump because of the way he enabled them. When you have that many awful people agreeing that one of the candidates is "their guy" then you should really spend a minute to try and figure out why that is.

Hillary: "racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic people are deplorable" (paraphrased)

People: What did you say about ME?!

I mean yeah, if you're choosing to put those labels on yourself to be offended then you're probably not a good person. And if that's not you? Then she wasn't talking about you. It was pretty straightforward.

Reminder to vote in your local elections today, folks

Getting half a day off work (paid) for just that purpose

I think we only have like one measure too

Except "explaining his answers" seems to mean "insulting everyone involved and calling the judicial process fraudulent"

How to you give him room to explain without letting him say whatever toxic shit he wants?

Is it being recorded? Next judge can just watch the video and say "fair, next"

I read an article about this a couple weeks back and it sounded right up my alley, will definitely check it out

if you're convinced you're going to die anyways, i'm going to kill you on the off chance i get some wild reward and deal with the consequences. why spare you when you're ruining my fun, setting me up to get lynched either way, and keeping this from actually being an entertaining mechanic?

Don't kill town if you're town. That's idiotic.

Well I might be dying so I'm grabbing the box when it shows up.

I absolutely do not believe anything about winning the game being an option.

You will either spare me if you're town or you'll kill me if you're scum, but better me than someone else if I'm really poisoned.

Oh they don't BECOME your flavor? They just get a message saying that you were pinhead?

What is the town benefit to any of this again?

You activate box.
All abilities stop.
Town grabs box
You spare town
Town is told you're pinhead
Life moves on except no one got a day action today.

Does that pretty much sum things up?

Chaeix posted...

real question fd what is the scum equity in claiming something that potentially doesn't result in a kill and could give a town member my flavour

What does that even mean? What flavor would you have at that point?

And based on your description it will ALWAYS result in a kill if you want it to.

Chaeix posted...

it's just fun and i never trust that i'll make it to d4, especially when i'm not an unreasonable nk target as someone most people were saying was town (the next chance i'd be able to use it is n3)

You can ONLY use it on odd nights? I thought your intuitive trait gave you the option to pop the ability early, not that odd night usage was there only way to do it.

Yeah the more I think on it the more I'm in love with the idea that it's a bizarre scum option that requires and forces a brazen level of open wolfing.

I can't imagine choosing to activate the ability as town.

Honestly I wouldn't mind taking the box since I might be poisoned anyways, but I'm definitely town so that doesn't seem to fit JC's suggestion

I also have half a mind to say we just lynch pinhead since this doesn't sound like it could be pro town so all and maybe killing him will stop the madness.

I could honestly see this being a scum thing where he is FORCED to claim his actual role within 24 hours of day starting (to give town a chance to stop it?)

I agree FD. They cant all be scum, but its tough to play mafia when part of the game doesnt have enough content to realistically make a read.

We have 4 pages of content from day 1 though. Bust out the shovel and dig up some dirt!

Well since you have fresh eyes for day 1 be sure to note how you feel about the various lynches that were options at the end of day 1

The hell is everyone today? With just a few exceptions I can't help but feel like people are hiding behind the box event to not be putting forth any effort.
