Gustav

The sky crackles and a bolt of lightning shoots down, hitting @Da Trifecta. The last thing I'd like to do in any game is modkill for inactivity, but it's in the rules and it isn't quite fair to other players to have to work around it. Trifecta was the HEX MASTER, so a very merry Christmas to the Town, I suppose.

 

Now that that's out of the way, let's kill @GoodLeftUndone, the one who the town has actually chosen to remove. Based on what info has come to light, things have come together for the Town to lynch...

 

Next day phase begins in the morning because the morning is Monday. I'm disappointed by that but it is what it is. James Cook ftw

That should be 11, right?

 

Yes. I can't count.

Give me my stuff

Can't we all just get along?

 

Apparently not. After a chaotic first night, we've got a chaotic second one.

 

Stabbed by a SERIAL KILLER, @omgitshim will have no more knowledge to impart in this game. He was...

 

That's not all, though--the MEDUSA that caused some trouble on the first night has turned @Grape into his own headstone. Oh, well--we can all save a bit on funeral arrangements this way.

 

 

Night phase should be pretty much on time. Go Bills

Unexpectedly Mobile Gustav checks in from a similarly unexpected concert. I may have no life, but at least I’m living it. 
 

8 votes needed, 7 recorded, time to move on. See you (sometime) tomorrow!

The sun comes up, the sun goes down, and then it comes back up again (eventually. I have a bad habit of waking up and then getting sidetracked).

 

We've had one night, and it's been eventful. Whoever could have been involved?

 

@Berocka is the first victim of a SERIAL KILLER hoping to earn the "Serial" title. He was...

 

 

@rory is the Town's first evidence of Coven in this game, having been killed by a POTION MASTER. Just as important, what was Rory?

 

 

But that's not all, now is it? No one has heard much from @Advantage this morning...

 

 

I guess we'll be kicking off the night phase pretty close to on time today. I'm not doing anything with my Saturday.

Hi

Everybody's been naughty

Everybody's got flaws

If you've been crossed off Santa's list

Here comes Gustav Claus!

 

 

And whether or not you celebrate Christmas, I hope your December 25th (in much the same way as all other days) is splendid.

 

In the interest of getting things settled before then, though...let's get it on. It's been far too long, and I suppose I can find it in my heart to step away from the whole "trying to have a life" thing for a bit.

You know the rules, and so do I, but here's your copy-paste anyway. If you want to complain to me about how it looks on light mode, then I want to complain to you about your inferior choice of forum theme.

 

Rules are here

The wiki is here

 

 

-JOIN THE DISCORD SERVER! YOU'RE REQUIRED TO! HERE'S ANOTHER LINK!

 

-I'm going with my usual starting and ending times as a general guideline: WHENEVER THE HELL I WAKE UP marks the start of each day phase, and 10 PM EST marks the start of each night phase. Those will be the times that I'll aim for, but, officially, the start of one phase and the end of another comes whenever I make the announcement. You'll be pinged. I will do my best to give out expected announcement times, but I reserve the right to kick off any phase at any time.

 

-No talking in this thread during night phases. That goes for everybody, regardless of role. I have no power to lock this thread at night, and there's no official penalty for talking in here at night, but if you see one of your fellow citizens doing so, please yell at them for me. I CAN LOCK THE THREAD AT NIGHT, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! If for some reason I forget, or if you have mod powers and can comment in locked threads, please keep the "no talking" rule in mind anyway.

 

-Do not edit posts. I've been relaxed about not yelling at people who have, but editing is a sneaky way to take out potentially incriminating information. If you say something stupid, too bad. Don't change it.

 

-If you are reasonably able to be online at the start of the night phases, please make an effort to do so. The JAILOR (if there is a Jailor) is able to speak with you in their own Discord channel at night, and that is when I will put the Jailor's target in said channel. If it is within your power to do so and doesn't present a huge inconvenience, please be online when the night phase starts and please join the server out of respect for the Jailor and their time. If you know you won't be around at the start of the night phase, it might be helpful to give me a message to forward to the Jailor during the day phase should you be placed in jail that night.

 

-DO NOT PM ANYBODY. All communication must happen in this thread, unless you have already received an invite to a Discord server where you may speak as well. If you haven't, keep everything here. Should you wish to contact someone directly, too bad! Whispers don't exist in this format.

 

-STAY ACTIVE. If you do go two day and night phases in a row without speaking in public, speaking in a private Discord, or sending me a night action (or specifically telling me you do not want to take a night action), I will swing the Mighty Gustav Hammer of Death. You do not want the Mighty Gustav Hammer of Death, and neither does anybody on your side.

 

-NO ROLES ARE OFF THE TABLE. If you play the online game, you may be familiar with a Classic mode being the default, where many of the newer roles are not used. In these games, if the evil faction is the Mafia, ALL roles which are not members of the Coven may be used, and vice versa. This includes Any All and Town Traitor.

 

-Last but not least, friendly reminder that no discussion relevant to this game in particular is allowed in the #general channel of the game server while this game is running.

 

-Just kidding! Actually last but not least--IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK YOUR DISCORD CHANNEL FOR NOTIFICATIONS PRIOR TO EACH DAY PHASE. It might not end well for you if you don't!

 

-And last but not least for the third time, if you choose to change a night action, please, please, send a new message rather than editing your old one. I've missed changes because of this before as an edit doesn't give me any sort of notification if I've already seen and missed the first one...so make sure I've got it right by separating your submissions!

IT IS TIME for another. And it's wonderful to see all of your smiling faces. I'm sure you look just like I do when I see "Town of Salem #28 - Sign Up" on the forum sidebar.

 

As a side note, I've noticed that I have a really bad tendency to hold down the shift key when I write these thread names and call it a "Sign UP" thread upon first type. That means I fixed it for you, gosh heckin' dang it!

 

Gustav is entirely done taking classes, he is basically done being a TA (for the time being), and many people he knows are going to various places around the world that they call home to celebrate the end of the semester and spend time with those that matter. So, in celebration of my own about-to-be-very-boring time between now and Christmas, let's see if we can fit in a game, shall we?

 

I'm adding ToS2 as a choice for a game mode. I guess we'll still call this game #28 regardless, but I won't be tracking stats (at least for the time being) for ToS2. Setting it up for the OG took a lot of work that I'm not really in the mood to repeat for what's really just a subset of our bigger body of data. But if it's picked, I have nothing against running it.

 

Trivia is back to its usual format, as is the copy-paste.

 

 

Rules are here

The wiki is here

 

CLICK THIS LINK IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE DISCORD SERVER

 

JOINING THE SERVER IS REQUIRED  FOR ALL PLAYERS! Non-players are welcome as well.

 

Remember that ALL game-related notifications will be given on Discord! Make sure you join the server, and check it BEFORE speaking in the game thread each day. Also, do your best to be there at the start of each night phase!

If you're new to the game, read up on some roles on the wiki and go through some old game threads in this subforum.

 

TRIVIA TIME:

HERE IS THE LINK TO TRIVIA!

-If you won the last game, you have an automatic 30% chance to receive a role of your choosing, if you'd like to request one. The winners of last game are listed below:

 

@Berocka

@Doomsday

@Lemorse7

@rory

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-If you didn't win the last game, you can still request a role! Play trivia, and for each correct answer, you'll earn a cumulative 5% chance toward a role of your choosing, for a maximum chance of 20%.

-If you won the last game, you can still play! This possible 20% chance will be added to your 30% chance for a maximum of 50%.

-No, you do not need to do this if you don't want to.

-If you'd like to play without requesting a role, simply write "Random" in the role request box.

 

Vote for your preferred format up top and sign up down below, as always.

 

 

Target start date: is Wednesday too ambitious? I hope it isn't because I'd like to get this wrapped up (no pun intended) before Christmas hits. Tell your friends.

I never would have gotten in, that's for sure.

 

Honestly I get why we have the list of jobs (because I guess if someone wasn't around to see something it's helpful), but if we think it's a big deal to add Updater or VSN to anyone's list at all we're going the wrong way as far as this is concerned. I think that ideally, someone who's been around during someone else's main period of impact should just be able to see the name and get that that person belongs. It goes way beyond just having a list with impressive-looking things on it.

 

Builder votes are kind of weird anyway, especially now that we're starting to break into voting on the VHL's "newer" generation (at least, that's what we were at one point). It's even weirder because a lot of our newer, "deserving" people came in around the same time and probably are pretty close to equally deserving in a lot of cases. And how do we fairly compare that to other names on the ballot who have been part of the league longer? I remember being very against a "Jeff because he joined in S1" argument a while ago, but that's because that was just about the entire reasoning there and it had nothing to do with anything done. We should consider history as a factor, as long as it's not all we're focusing on, and shouldn't lose sight of that because we suddenly have choices that more of us know. Honestly, I feel that someone like Doom is a good example of a "should happen soon" induction that's been kind of overshadowed by the new kids.

 

I would suggest that we trim down the builder ballot, not in the sense that we get rid of names but in the sense that we just bump down a handful of people to the "in the pipeline" tier for now and keep the number of nominees to less than 18. I don't know how much that would help but I feel like it's a bit chaotic at the moment.

I will gladly fly my team flag so elitist Canadian hockey fans can bully me for enjoying a sport

 

Joking aside, I think it's a great idea

 

It's been four and a half years and this is probably the first time we've agreed on "here's a change I think the league should make." Good shit.

With all the options we have to tag ourselves on our account and on our posts, I think it would be fun to give us a tag for our favorite real-life team. Something that would look like this:

 

 

With most posts taking up tons of room what with menu options and sigs, I don't see anything against an extra line or two. I also just like the idea of being able to connect with people based on this sort of thing. Perhaps I'd say hi to a random Sabres fan I come across or have an easier time avoiding Leafs fans.
