Gustav

*Gustav noises* @omgitshim died last night, to both the COVEN LEADER and a JUGGERNAUT. He was a PIRATE. Last will: @Berocka also finds himself dead this morning, killed off by the POISONER. He was a PSYCHIC. Last will: This day phase will likely end a bit late, but I *should* be around to end it by 11. List of living players (13)

For the week ending 6/6: 1. We've had some good sims, some bad sims...well, mostly some bad sims. What's a good way to keep morale up around the clubhouse? 2. You can drop your highest attribute to 40 in exchange for a 200-TPE bonus on your next player. Do you do this? Why or why not? 3. Who would our team's emergency goalie be? 4. What's your favorite NHL player on a team you dislike? 5. What's a place in the world that isn't often thought of as a vacation spot or a touristy area, but that you'd like to see anyway? 6. What's the worst thing you've ever eaten? @Advantage @Grape @Berocka@jimmyallen93@Azlan @Ricer13@efiug @weekz @KC15 @Rocket @TheCHEESE @Ahma @Brrbisbrr

Another day, another @Lefty_S being voted out. This time, he was... As the Gustav sun goes down, a mysterious book falls from the sky, right smack dab into the sign outside the local Wawa. We're going to need a new second W, but that's beside the point. The Coven have received the Necronomicon. Next day phase starts, well...sometime. Tomorrow is my last day off before I work 7 days in a row, so I plan on doing as much nothing as I can--that includes sleep. List of living players (15)

Y to the E to the E to the T! Three of them! First off, we have @BarzalGoat. Killed by a JUGGERNAUT, he was a DOCTOR. Next up, @Sixersfan594. A victim of the POTION MASTER, he was a TRAPPER. And finally, @Eagle Eye, taken out by a PIRATE. Another new player dying early, EE was an EXECUTIONER. I'm out of work at 10 tonight, so day phase ending a bit after that. List of living players (16)

All righty then! Thank you for bearing with me today. To keep it short and sweet, @Domg5 is being taken out today. He was a NECROMANCER. I will be up around 12:30 tomorrow at the latest. Hopefully everyone has time to gather themselves and do what they have to do between now and then. List of living players (19)

Yeet! @Goliathus gets a nice warm welcome to the VHL side of things by dying N1. Killed by a PIRATE, the town is now down a SPY. Last will: Here's the deal. I have a weird shift today. Both work Internet and cell service have been spotty for me lately, so even if I tried to make things happen on break I'm not sure if I'd be able to. I might not be home until stupid late. So here's what's going to happen: this day phase will cut off at the official time even if I'm not around to do it. All votes after 10:00 will be invalidated. Feel free to send your night actions in at any time, and keep in mind that provisional statements (for example, "if A is evil, do B, otherwise do C") are perfectly acceptable. And if there are any further concerns, I'm sleeping in tomorrow so anyone up in the morning will still have plenty of time to do whatever. Still, my apologies for any inconvenience this may bring.

Yeet! Gustav gets home from another dangerous day at work (this time more so than others for reasons involving incredibly poor engineering and a very heavy overhead door held up by something that should not be holding up a very heavy overhead door). But enough of that. You know the deal (or at least most of you do). Day 2 will start either fairly early or really late, and nowhere in between. That's all I know at this exact moment. List of living players (21 because I can't count and also may or may not have forgotten someone)

If "tinkle outside the binkle" wasn't any all enough for you I don't really know what to tell you

You got that right! I remember you; welcome back to the league!

T W E N T Y ! That's TWO TENS! That's ONE-FIFTH THE NUMBER OF DECIBELS COMING FROM @Doomsday's JACKED-UP '94 CHEVY LUMINA IN FRONT OF THE LOCAL WAWA! Is it weird? YES IT IS! Is it especially weird that he's been blasting some of the world's dumbest song mashups for about three hours now? ABSOLUTELY! Does he care? NO! And that's the beauty of it all. Anyway, here's your role list. And here's your player list. 20 PLAYERS @Advantage @BarzalGoat @Berocka @Devise @Domg5 @Doomsday @Eagle Eye @Goliathus @Jericho @jhatty8 @Juice @Lefty_S @Mr_Hatter @N0HBDY @omgitshim @osens @Ptyrell @Ricer13 @Sixersfan594 @WentzKneeFan036 And now it's time for your copy-paste! -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. -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!

My top 2 are the current bottom 2 overall smh Also where is MADRID Double smh

Loving the energy from this! Our time will come one day, but in the meantime we might as well enjoy it.

Honestly an Any All game with one evil faction doesn't have any different of a role breakdown from a standard game because I want the role list to at least be logical and fair. The only difference is the possibility of two evil factions...where I try to apply that same principle. It's why I truly don't care which format is picked unless something hasn't been picked in a long time or I have to explain again why Town Traitor is stupid.

So with the E league being revealed this week, the question of "which teams will there be" is floating out there. Truth be told, we don't know yet. Nobody knows yet. At least part of it will be left up to the public, while some part of it may be left to the commissioners or the stupid idiots who sit around dreaming up ways to make their own lives easier BoG, for the more obvious teams like Vasteras who should end up running away with any public vote among people who were there to see them. The Stockholm Vikings are a team who I believe will likely end up in the E league one way or another, either by executive decision or by public vote. They were a part of the league for a good while, and they have one of the league's more iconic logos among defunct teams. But there are things I dislike about them as well... -Bringing in Vasteras and Stockholm gives us two Swedish teams, which probably gives us the only two teams in one country in the E league. I don't personally care about this, but some might find it weird. -Unpopular opinion: I don't like the logo. I've seen people gushing over it but I don't get it. -Vasteras and Stockholm are the same franchise. This is the thing that's most weird to me--Vasteras relocated to Stockholm later on, so we'd really be bringing the same team back twice. And were my article only about that, it would just be an unpopular-opinion piece on how I'm not a huge fan of one of the presumed obvious choices. But it's not just about that. I love the idea of bringing back the Madrid Thunder. It's probably my favorite out of all the teams with a smaller chance of getting in. It gives us a team in a cool country (having studied Spanish for some time and gotten some understanding of the language and culture I'm possibly biased, but it is a cool country), in a cool city, with a cool name with the potential for some really cool branding. The thing is...Madrid is also the same franchise as Stockholm and Vasteras. So for me to advocate for them, I'd have to be in favor of bringing back Stockholm as well as Stockholm existed for a good while longer. Both would involve me needing to throw out my main point of contention...except I don't want to do that. Damn Vasteras screwing things up already.

For the week ending 5/30: 1. We haven't gotten off to the best start--we're last in the European Conference (though not last in the league). Do you think sneaking into the playoffs is realistic, or is it clear that we've got another season to develop? 2. With this week came a big giant announcement--the league is restructuring its development league by adding a new tier of development to combat existing roster space issues. What's your opinion of this? 3. Regardless of where past franchises have been located (the most likely places for E league teams), where in Europe would you put a team? 4. Who's your favorite current NHL player? 5. If you follow the NHL, who would you like to see win the cup? If you're not, look up the teams left in the playoffs and say which one has the best logo. 6. What's your idea for a stupid product? It can be anything, as long as it's stupid. @Advantage @Grape @Berocka@jimmyallen93@Azlan @Ricer13@efiug @weekz @KC15 @Rocket @TheCHEESE @Ahma @Brrbisbrr

Last game was standard mafia and I overruled the vote because a few people were speaking out against doing any all in particular. I get that some people don't like it but since I made the vote meaningless last game I'm not going to do that twice in a row. Still time for votes to roll in too

GAME 20 GAME 20 GAME 20 EVERYONE PANIC THROW STUFF AND PANIC ALSO SOMETHING ABOUT WAWA Aside from me being 20 myself and having a bit of an existential crisis over our games catching up to my age, I am hyped for another iteration of everyone's favorite fun game, Take a Step Back! ...or, alternatively, Town of Salem! Nothing new for this one, so I'll put in the copy-paste yet again, with my usual refusal to paste it as plain text and re-format.

Vote for your preferred format up top and sign up down below, as always. Target start date: Friday night!

I was about to come in here like "inb4 rebrand request" but never mind

Maybe your group has an agreement too and you just don't know it.

Part of the fine print of the gentleman's agreement was that Group 2's extra time comes out of our time so we had no choice.
