Town of Salem #27 - Sign Up

[Gustav 6,139]

The ToS #26 sign-up thread starts with "for the first time in 5 months..." and guess how much time it's been since then.

 

For the first time in 5 months, yet again...

 

 

*Gustav noises*

 

 

(I promise I'll be more consistent moving forward)

 

WELCOME TO TOWN OF SALEM...NUMBER TWENTY-SEVEN? It's nuts to think we've come this far and some of you still haven't gotten your role requests. I swear I actually do randomize it and I don't hate you. 

 

This game serves a few purposes. First, it's been a while, and that in and of itself 100% justifies it. Second...I'm looking at a rough go at running what may be the first-ever ToS2 forum game, anywhere, ever (unless @omgitshim knows about some nerd forum somewhere), and I'm hoping some of you might like some practice in a more familiar environment. That's because I know I do, as it's now been 5 months since I ran one game and almost a year since I ran two. But if this goes well, don't let me forget I said this! All I need to figure out are the minor details.

 

Also, as a bit of a life update--I am entirely done, for the rest of my life, with classwork that matters. Yes, I'm still a grad student (and will be for a long time), but after the first year I'm just a highly underpaid scientist. So...I should have more time on my hands now! No more stressing about getting homework done, and my group generally keeps normal-ish work hours. Being that what it is, I do promise to be more annoy-able about ToS for as long as I'm bored and single.

 

Without further ado, because I don't think you'd care about anything else I'd be going on about, please find my copy-paste and my aggressively-worded statement against those unable to easily read it.

 

 

If you are reading this in light mode, I would like you to look at the nearest window, picture me throwing you out of it, and wonder whether it would instead be simpler to make the switch.

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:

 

@jacobcarson877

@woog

@BarzalGoat

@Lemorse7

@Adrest245

@Doomsday

 

 

-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: Thursday night! No guarantee but I think I'll be there for it.

I can link some resources for new players when I'm on my PC. but just check out the rules in this subforum for now to get a general gist of how this works.

 

Also do know that this is a a fairly forum intensive game (see length of prior game threads) and there will be a lot of information to process. Would def recommend keeping some notes as the game goes along

 

The right ruleset ^

Yep, my best advice is to get your role and learn EVERYTHING about it (I link the TOS Wiki in the top post and it has a page for every role; it’s brilliant). 
 

Once you do that, pay attention to the game thread. When someone says they’re one role, read about that one. Figure out what they’re supposedly up to. You’ll see people believing (or not believing) those claims eventually; try to understand why. 
 

if you’re in an evil faction (or you’re a Medium) and can talk to other players at night, that can be a very helpful resource. I’ll also answer questions about game mechanics as well—I won’t answer “what should I do” because that should be your choice but anything along the lines of “how does this role work” is totally fair.

@Spartan and @Gustav thanks for the info and advice. Will check out the wiki and rules
