It just means the GMs have respect for your skill and Agolac doesn't like you very much. Kas's identity shenanigans were almost as fun as if those players had been in the game . Kinda surprised that people were checking activity levels on the anon accounts but not looking back at the "returning player" accounts. 3
Shining Silhouette he/him Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) What a fun time! Thank you to everyone for such a cool experience. Special thanks to the GMs for accommodating me for my family emergency and for @DrakeMarshall for doing a great job with the mess I inadvertently left him Edited January 29, 2023 by Shining Silhouette 2

It was an interesting experience to suddenly be trusted by people who I didn't really feel I had earned the trust of yet, but not an entirely unpleasant one. And kudos to you for pulling the village together! You played a great game.

Must be a nice switch, considering how often you get sussed. And hey, at least I didn't try kill you this time 2 minutes ago, Shining Silhouette said: And kudos to you for pulling the village together! You played a great game. Thanks, but I think it's more on the Village - I died fairly early. And tbh I'm still very thrown by the fact Flamingo isn't Maili but is Araris >> I know I tend to be less willing to push Araris, but hot damn this is bad.

Elandera she/her Posted January 31, 2023 Author Posted January 31, 2023 Great game everyone! A huge shout out to @Devotary of Spontaneity. She deserves all the praise for keeping this game running and for all of her fantastic write-ups. Thanks to all of the players who put in so much time and effort into creating yet another fantastic anniversary game. We hope you enjoyed it. Now on to more official things. As we considered some of the major things that happened in this game, the mods agreed there was one thing in particular that needed to be addressed. Going inactive on purpose for the intention of proving your alignment and/or inability to submit an action is not okay. Activity and participation should always be encouraged. Making anyone feel like they must not engage with the game in order to prove something takes away the enjoyment of the game for many. While this does not explicitly go against any of the rules listed in the SE rules, we would like to officially frown upon this kind of plan. In the same vein of thought, there was also a large discussion over the use of screenshots of people's activity. This is a more gray area, as activity tracking has a long history within SE. It is, however, incredibly flawed, as proven by Toucan's ability to submit an action and still appear to have not logged in. As this knowledge is already public, we don't feel it necessary to restrict this behavior. Instead, we urge caution to use it wisely and with consideration to the flaws within the system. 9

Elandera she/her Posted February 7, 2023 Author Posted February 7, 2023 One final announcement (hopefully)! Please welcome @StrikerEZ as SE's newest moderator! We are excited to have him join us after so many years of being part of this community. 12
StrikerEZ he/him Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Thank you guys! I've been part of this community for a long time, so it's really exciting to finally be able to give back to it in such a big way like this! I hope to be a big asset to both the community and the mod team in the future! 12
Devotary of Spontaneity Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Congratulations to the village for winning a second Tyrian AG in a row, and thank you to Elandera for running the game! As always, if anyone would like to try their hand at running a game, please get ahold of Wilson, Devotary of Spontaneity, Elbereth, Araris Valerian, Elandera, or StrikerEZ, or post in the GM Signups & Discussion Thread. Not only will we get you added to the list, but we'd also be more than willing to help out in any way we can. You can also ask questions and get some hints and feedback from everyone in our Art of Game Creation thread. With all the games that we've run so far, we have plenty of experienced GMs that can help you refine any game you're thinking about. If you would rather keep some detail secret, or are self-conscious about posting in thread (there's really no need to be; while we do slaughter each other, we are very polite about it), then I'm sure one of our fantastic committee members (Amanuensis, STINK, Sart, Fifth Scholar, Straw, Archer, and Kasimir) would be more than willing to help you out in private. Thanks again to everyone that played, and we look forward to killing seeing you in future games!
