Gustav

Last second changes? You want last second changes? Too bad! I am the Grand Poobah, and I am here to end the game. @Ricer13 is voted up today. Openly admitting to be a member of the Coven, nobody is surprised when that turns out to be the case--though some may be intrigued to find out that he was the MEDUSA. With two Mafia left against one defenseless town and an Executioner who has completed their mission, that's all, folks. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS, THE MAFIA AND THE EXECUTIONER! Here's a link to dead chat! All are welcome. Joining will get you notes on the game, pings when the next sign-up opens, and some fun talk with some fun people. The game's spreadsheet is here! It's not completely up-to-date as the past few nights have been easy enough that I haven't needed to use it, but it will be eventually. Thank you all for playing this time around! Next game will be our tenth! Let's make it one to remember. @BarzalGoat @bigAL @chatfan036 @Devise @DoktorFunk @Doomsday @jhatty8 @Mike @MMFLEX @Mr_Hatter @omgitshim @osens @Ricer13 @Spartan @Wreckening

For the week ending 8/23: 1. I just recreated! I've made a center who I plan to claim in the S75 draft. Do you think this was the right move for the team, or would a different position have served us better? 2. Line chemistry is off for some reason lately. Why do you think that is? Is there anything you'd like to see tried that you haven't seen yet? 3. Which EU team do you think we'll eventually meet in the playoffs? 4. We've got three S66 players retiring this season in Jaguar, Garcia, and Paddywagon. Do we have what it takes to keep moving forward or is there a step back coming? How do you think this affects our long-term future? 5. The trade deadline has come and gone! Are you surprised it was uneventful? Do you think there are any moves we could have made? 6. There's a party at Robin Winter's house tonight. What are you bringing? @Sonnet @McWolf @Ferda @David O'Quinn @Ahma @Josh @PadStack @gorlab @Velevra @DMaximus

...and nothing's gonna bring him back. It felt so weird to sit down last night and press the "Retire Player" button for Jerry Garcia after spending nine seasons--or, rather, almost exactly sixteen months--consistently updating and slowly working my way up to being recognizable around these parts. Coming in here in mid-February of last year, I had no idea what a sim league was, almost gave up and left on my first day, you know the deal. I'm sure you've all heard (and experienced) exactly the same in your own sim league lives. By retiring, I ended my beginning--I now have four players across three different leagues, am at least a decently recognizable face in each, and can no longer call myself a first-gen player in this one. I thought it would be more of a big deal to retire than it actually ended up being--sure, it felt weird and out-of-place to kill off the player I'd been working on for over a year, but after that, it just felt like business as usual. I actually thought up the idea for Taro Tsujimoto back in my very first season with Houston (what better place for a fake hockey player than a fake hockey league, after all), and was dead-set on creating him for a while until I became GM in Davos and had to actually consider team needs and such for my recreate. About a week ago, I took a look at what was going on with the team and where I might have a need opening up in a few seasons' time, and figured that a forward would be relatively safe. And, being the TPE whore that I am, I can create a center to throw in the face-off dot if at any point in time Davos ends up lacking one. So, there goes my past, and here comes my future. What a long strange trip it's been!

Took a look at standings and rosters and such; I said I'd go for a good combination of playing time and team success and this is how I'm following through on that. Sign me bb

*Gustav noises* Who died last night? Only @bigAL, the POTION MASTER, who died at the hands of the MAFIA. What day even is it? Guess it doesn't really matter. List of those alive (5) Votes needed today: 3

Context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro_Tsujimoto

Player Information Username: GustavMattias Player Name: Taro Tsujimoto Recruited From: Other (Jerry hit one too many blunts) Age: 20 Position: C Height: 74 in. Weight: 209 lbs. Birthplace: Japan Player Page @VHLM GM

Fare thee well.

And we cut it off right there! Some more stuff thrown out there today, and we're at the stage of the game where people begin to claim being evil. Night phase starts; do your thing. List of those alive (6)

The sun rises not too long after it sets, because that's what happens in a paranormal world like this one. @a_Ferk died last night. Killed by a member of the MAFIA as well as by the POTION MASTER, he was the JAILOR. To Day 5 we go! List of those alive (6) Votes needed today: 4

smh noises! I'm kind of stupid and completely forgot this was a thing. Oh well, at least I haven't gone to sleep yet. Nothing happened; welcome to Night 4. List of those alive (7?

So I was going to do this this morning, but due to me being stupid and maybe a bit more tired than I thought I was I didn't. @Wreckening gets hit with a bolt of lightning that sounds an awful lot like a loud "YEET". Modkilled for inactivity, he was a TRACKER.

Rejoice! Angry tired Gustav went to bed on time last night for the first time in who only knows how long. I'm still angry, but not very tired. @omgitshim died last night--killed by a member of the MAFIA, he was an AMNESIAC. Last will: List of those alive (8? Votes needed today: 5

"Let's do something today!" says everybody. "Let's not!" says everybody as well. Just as the town prepares to go to bed, a strange sound comes out of the woods--it's @DoktorFunk singing The Eagles' "Witchy Woman" from beyond the grave. ...yes, the Coven have received the Necronomicon. Tomorrow starting early because I'm starting early. Prepare for angry tired me for the next few days. List of those alive:

Killed by a member of the Mafia, btw

"TALLY HO LADS," comes the voice of somebody or another from the town's prison. The grapeshot cannon goes off, but is it an execution? Only sort of. It's just @Doomsday killing himself dramatically. He was a VIGILANTE. Last will: @BarzalGoat died last night, at the hands of the POTION MASTER. He was an AMBUSHER. @Mr_Hatter died last night as well--instead of a top hat, he's wearing a more pointed one! He was the COVEN LEADER. Just when the town thinks it's all over, @DoktorFunk speaks up and says "hey guys, I can't be here for the next few-" He can't finish the sentence because he gets struck down from the heavens by a bolt of lightning. As the town searches for clues about his role, a frog rolls into the town square on a unicycle. That's right: @a_Ferk has replaced @DoktorFunk. List of those alive (9): Votes needed today: 5

It's the end of Day 2, and the town has decided to kill off its first target. "I'm a Vigilante," says @Caboose30 as everyone votes him up. Nothing happens in his favor, though, and to dead chat he goes. He was... Last will: List of those alive (12): Day 3 will actually start close to 9 tomorrow, for once!

Hai It's Day 2! The town comes out to see just what's happened... @osens seems to have gotten the standard drive-by MAFIA treatment--he was a TRACKER. Last will: @Devise has gotten a Mafia treatment as well, but this time by an AMBUSHER. He was an ESCORT. @Mike was killed last night--yes, on Night 1!--by a VIGILANTE. He was the RETRIBUTIONIST. So there's that. Day 2 starts now, I'll be home just a few minutes after 9 but if Berocka is online you might have yourself an on-schedule change. List of those alive (13): Votes needed today: 7

Yeah this is it @Devise. I should probably go through the copy-paste at some point anyway because I've still got stuff about whispering in there...

Yeah, you already figured it out but for the sake of others in the game I forgot to put Caboose on the player list.

I was wondering how far into the game I'd make it before I got to use the phrase "I'm an idiot" again. Turns out it's only D1. Carry on.

@Corco would like a word with you

You know what it is! I'm your usual host, Gustav, this game making an appearance with my trusty sidekick @Berocka. Just one thing before I throw in my copy-paste: Version 3.2.5 is out! Read my post in the game update thread or check the wiki for more info, but, in short, some roles are changing. Neutral Killing roles are getting stronger, while Lookout is getting a slight nerf. These changes WILL be in effect for this game, so keep an eye out! Now for the copy-paste: -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 9 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. -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 server at night, and that is when I will send an invite to whoever is jailed. 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. -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, it MUST be done through a whisper (see above for whispering rules and guidelines) -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. This includes Any All and Town Traitor. -The game starts NOW, with an extended Day 1 phase lasting until (about) 9 PM EST tomorrow (or, ok, fine, tonight). The rules are here The Town of Salem Wiki, for additional information, is here Ya like jazz? Role List: 1x TOWN SUPPORT 2x TOWN INVESTIGATIVE 2x TOWN KILLING 3x RANDOM TOWN 1x GODFATHER 2x RANDOM MAFIA 1x COVEN LEADER 2x RANDOM COVEN 1x NEUTRAL EVIL 1x RANDOM NEUTRAL (no Any this game because I talked to omg about role ratios beforehand so giving any player a good idea of what the Any spot is would be wrong) Player list: @BarzalGoat @bigAL @chatfan036 @Devise @DoktorFunk @Doomsday @jhatty8 @Mike @MMFLEX @Mr_Hatter @omgitshim @osens @Ricer13 @Spartan @Wreckening Yes, this is our first game with both evil factions! Let's see how this goes.
