Gustav

Version 3.2.5 (in effect as of Game 9) -Serial Killer Changes A SK will now attack anyone who roleblocks them, and the roleblock will fail unless it comes from a Jailor or a Pirate. The will of the roleblocker is also considered "covered in blood" and is unreadable. A SK may choose to be "Cautious" at night and not attack roleblockers. -Arsonist Changes An Arsonist will now passively douse anyone who visits them, and will receive a list of those doused at the end of each night similar to the list received by a Plaguebearer. -Werewolf Changes After Night 4, every night is considered a Full Moon night. This means that from Night 4 and onwards, a Werewolf may attack on every night. Because of this, results received by Psychics have been de-linked from Full Moons. The Psychic role will continue to work the same, but the nature of their results will now change every night, regardless of Full Moon status, rather than changing with the moon. -Juggernaut Changes A Juggernaut will now start each game with basic defense, moving their last two abilities up one kill and making them easier to reach. Juggernauts will now also appear in a list of investigative results, with Lookout, Forger, and Coven Leader. -Lookout Changes A Lookout can now see only three people visiting a target at a time. If more than three people visit, the Lookout will know this, but will only know the identities of three visitors.

Going to start giving out roles in a few hours. LAST CHANCE TO SIGN UP

April or May 2019

Disclaimer: I'm an idiot. I have edited the tag list a few times thinking I've gotten it correct and...let's just say that hasn't happened. I finally went through and made sure I had it accurate, so here it is with apologies to anyone who I've been missing or who I've been tagging without reason. Anyway, for the week ending 8/16: 1. Towards the beginning of this madness, I checked in a few times on your life with respect to all things COVID and quarantine. I'm checking in again--any updates? Has anything changed for you recently? How are the numbers looking in your area? 2. This week is theme week, where we talk about future players! I assume most people will talk about a future player of their own--but if you had naming rights to any other member's next player, who would it be and what would you name them? 3. You can bring anyone you know from elsewhere, be it online or in real life, into the VHL. Who is it? 4. The team hits the gym--what exercise can you do better than everyone else? 5. You see the same "pregame ritual" question all the time. What do you do after games? 6. What were you doing an hour before you answered this question? @Sonnet @McWolf @Ferda @David O'Quinn @Ahma @Josh @PadStack @gorlab @Velevra @DMaximus

Last week's article in the EFL 6 pls

afaik they're not doing that this season, at least EFL isn't. Might be something to ask @omgitshim and company. Also tagging the people who wanted to recreate this season! @BOOM™ @Aye my name jeff

I'm extremely torn between tagging @fishy and getting another player and going through TT hell for the third game in a row.

The Town and the Survivor* NO EDITING POSTS

Unnecessarily long-winded announcement posts? Trying to work on that? Pish tosh. That's just a fad, Smithers. Just like the Lindy hop and polio.

It is I, bearer of good news and unnecessarily long-winded announcement posts. I'm trying to work on that second bit, so here goes: Rules are here The wiki is here Since I've graduated from rickrolls to links to whatever I happen to be listening to when I write this, here you go No bits of exciting news to share with you this time around, but I do have a bit of news. A while back @Berocka messaged me about the possibility of being a co-mod, because apparently he wants to work for me outside of being my AGM. He'll be there watching everything you do right along with me, and while I'll probably be the main person you'll see doing administrative stuff in this thread, he'll be around to do a few phase changes if I'm not there on time or if he's got a decent grasp on things. Give him the same respect you give me, however much or however little that may be. **Because of this, I must ask that all night actions, last wills, death notes, or whatever be sent to both of us--the private forum message thread you'll get at the start of the game is strongly preferred over Discord DMs. If you're in a Discord server with access to an #official-decisions channel (i.e. if you're part of an evil faction, you're a Medium, or you're the Jailor), you can ignore this bit and put your stuff there. One more thing, of course... Yes, I bothered with doing trivia again. CLICK THIS LINK TO PLAY -If you won last game, you already have a 30% chance to receive a role of your choosing, which you may request by messaging me. The winners of last game are the Town and the Mafia, listed below in tag form because, what the hell, I like it when people see this thread: -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: Tuesday night? Maybe? Probably.

Not that Elijah; this guy was a prospect of mine.

o no

Slightly different wording: The cap used to be a PT (6-point task or welfare) plus 6 TPE outside of your PT. Job pay didn't count as part of this "other 6," meaning that anyone being paid 2 TPE or more per week could still earn the full cap with a welfare claim. Now, that last bit has been removed. It's 6 TPE outside of your PT, job pay included.

Also think about this: Switching position requires $3 million of your own money. In many cases, that's combined with a reroll, $6 million on top of that. That's money you could otherwise be using for depreciation fighters--I missed out on a Jagr (which would have saved me 48 TPE I think) this season because I switched to forward and rerolled before last.

No, this is a different thing. Same idea though, they're doing the same stuff.

Damn, Riga has us figured out for some reason. Might have to make lines specifically for Riga games...

Best advice - get in touch with your players. Anyone can speculate on whether or not they're having fun, but you're able to talk to them and see for yourself whether that's the case. In my experience, most people are cool with fitting into a team's plans, and if you haven't had anyone complaining to you about their situation you likely have nothing to worry about.

So is this. We're going to have all of Seattle taken out by next week.

Probably using illegal vote manipulation on those messages too smh

Third and final claim on this article

For the week ending 8/9! Time for unmotivated Gustav to get the press conference up before Wednesday or something for once. 1. Joakim Bruden goes missing before a game. Where do you find him? 2. Davos can't stop winning lately--we're #1 in the EU and #2 in the league! Does this mean anything for the long run, or is it just a good phase? 3. The coach puts you in charge of practice for a day. What unique hockey drill do you drag out? 4. How do you feel about your player's production so far this season? 5. You can bring any NHL player into the league as a VHL member. Who do you pick? 6. The blue team offers you a 100-TPE bonus on your next player if you go completely inactive for a full calendar year. Do you take it? @Sonnet @McWolf @David O'Quinn @Ahma @Josh @Brrbisbrr @PadStack @gorlab @Velevra @DMaximus
