I think I'll have to decline, unfortunately. I've got a lot going on in my life right now, and it's not really letting up. My goal is to be at a place in my life where I could do this next year. But it wouldn't be a good idea for me to accept this nomination right now.

Kas would like me to let everyone know that rollover will be slightly delayed. Night Zero should be posted in ~15 minutes. Last minute signups, amirite?

Please ignore the fact that I temporarily locked this on accident. But I think signups are closed now? Idk I’m not the GM.

Coming out of the woodwork to say hello! I’ll be your IM for this lovely game, so if you need to reach out to anyone about anything going on in the game, feel free to PM me here on the Shard or DM me on discord (I’ll respond sooner if you DM me on Discord). I look forward to watching this game, and remember: this is just a game! Let’s keep things civil, friends! Also just wanted to mention that @Biplet and I only have 30 days left from today until we get married. Which is pretty poggers.

As someone who has found that real life makes long term engagement with a game very difficult, I would love to see Discord SE games given a chance. They would presumably be much faster paced games. Games that you could sit down and play and be done with in a couple hours at most. Scheduling would be the hardest part, but if each game is shorter you can schedule games more often. It would be like scheduling a meeting or a D&D session. Difficult with the sheer number of people and timezones involved, but doable. I think Discord games would ultimately be worth it in the long run. It would be a way for those with busy lives to get more involved in the game side of the community again. Sometimes you can spare a few hours here and there, but nothing consistent enough to keep up with a true forum game. That’s just my two cents as someone who’s been here for 6+ years and also hasn’t played much this year.

Oh gosh hey sorry guys. Life has been extremely crazy the last few weeks. Who knew being a teacher would turn out to be so much work? Plus I got pretty sick last week and missed two days of school. I almost certainly can’t run an LG right now. I already feel like I’m spending my evenings playing catch up for the next day. I can’t really afford to give my evenings up right now. I might have be put down as inactive in the spreadsheet until I figure my life out more as a teacher.

I have to drop out. I've got way too much on my plate. Sorry guys.

Congrats to the elim team for winning! And good job to all of the villagers as well! This was a fun game to watch, even if I ended up being pretty busy near the end. I was at a band convention trying to get a job. (I did get a job! Finally!) Thank you so much everyone for being such awesome players and making my life so much easier! Also everyone has already mostly done so, but keep giving Szeth all the love he deserves for running such an awesome game almost entirely by himself! He did a great job.

Why not? I'll sign up. I'll come up with a character later.

Yup! It happened pretty recently. And then life went and became crazy on me so I’ve been a little MIA myself the last couple months. But I’m here now!

Hello everyone! It’s me, Striker! I’m your IM for this game! If you ever need to talk to someone about a moderation issue or vent about something related to the game, please reach out to me! You can PM me in your GM PM or DM me on discord. I am here for y’all. Now, go have fun murdering each other! Kindly!

@Szeth_Pancakes Hey sorry I've been insanely busy. This summer is turning out to be more hectic than I'd planned. You can take the next MR, if you haven't already.

I wish life would stop throwing curveballs at me. I’m actually way less free than I thought I would be. There’s no way I can get my rules ready and approved in time for the signups to go up Wednesday. I’m sorry. A lot of life stuff happened today that set me behind and I got reminded about a bunch of stuff coming up.

Yeah just wanted to reiterate that the 24th is when I would be free for a game to start. And a QF would be perfect because a week is roughly how much free time I’d have to run a game. That’s assuming Fifth doesn’t want it though.

Hello! I’m excited to be your IM for this game! If you are ever involved in a conflict between players, see one potentially arising, or just need to vent feel free to reach out to me! As a reminder, SE is just a game! Having fun and enjoying ourselves is the main goal of playing!

Everyone congratulate @_Stick_ on receiving the nomination! I’m excited to see her represent our community in the Mafia Universe Championships! Everyone wish her luck. And if you’re so willing, feel free to send her a gift to take into the Champs. She can have my Shield of the Lynch, if she wants that burden.

Thanks for the compliments about my IMing! I'm glad that this game went so well! Congrats to @|TJ|, @Araris Valerian, and @The Wandering Wizard for winning! And everyone keep telling @Matrim's Dice he did a great job GMing this game. He deserves it! Also, Mat beat me to saying this, but please go ahead and vote for who you want to send to the Mafia Universe Championships! We'll be closing that poll in the next few days!

I just went ahead and made the poll! We've had several weeks to decide on nominees, so I don't think we need another day to get any last minute nominations in.

I just wanted to say that my availability has changed a little since I initially accepted, but I'm still free to do it. I won't be available May 30-June 5, June 11-24, and probably July 28-August 2. Any other time would work for me!

As a reminder, please don't edit posts without also specifying what you change! Retroactively changing posts without clarifying the edits is against the rules! I don't think anyone has done this quite yet, but I see a lot of edits and wanted to give a little reminder. Also, please feel free to reach out if you are having trouble with anything, have a conflict with a player, or see a conflict between other players. Also, it's okay if you're proactive about this and it turns out everything's alright. Better safe than sorry!

With the QF being done and the LG recently started, we need to start figuring out who will run the next MR. This LG is a smaller player count, so will end surprisingly faster than people might expect. Ignoring my spots (as I would prefer to not run a game right now), here are the top 5 players on the MR list: @The Known Novel @Szeth_Pancakes @Fifth Scholar Matrim's Dice, who will not be running two games at the same time @Tani Are any of y'all willing to run the next MR?

I mean, you could also direct rules questions toward me, but I might not be as helpful on that front.

I just wanted to say that despite how little I was around for this game, it was a blast to watch and try and wrap my head around. I think a game like this would be even more fun in real life. Also, huge thank you to @Araris Valerian for running this game and @Devotary of Spontaneity for IMing!

Hello! I’m excited to be your IM for this game! If you are ever involved in a conflict between players, see one potentially arising, or just need to vent feel free to reach out to me! As a reminder, SE is just a game! Having fun and enjoying ourselves is the main goal of playing! Good luck to everyone playing! I am very eager to watch this game unfold and experience my first game as an IM. Also you guys have no idea how many times I’ve almost tried to sign up for this game, forgetting I’m the IM….

That would be quite the surprise, wouldn't it?
