If I get too stressed I’ll just offer myself to the elims as a sacrifice

So your saying there's a form of PM spying in it :eyes:

I can neither confirm nor deny there is PM spying.

I can also neither confirm nor deny that this game features the return of Slaughter, an anon kill mechanic that lets Wyrm take out players anytime, a Tiger tank, a cursed play, and the ghosts of Metacognition, Gamma, and Ren materialising to admonish players everytime they make a silly decision.

I can also neither confirm nor deny that there will actually be a player told they are Kasimir or Fifth Scholar in this game.

I can neither confirm nor deny the Loch Ness Monster exists in an eldritch dimension and is capable of converting players to a third party cult.

...This should cover everything, I think.

[Fifth Scholar he/him]

You are all deluded. You should not play this game. 

But, for those with sufficient folly: welcome. We are so happy to have you.

I've already got an eldritch abomination that can convert people to what can be called a cult I suppose. 

Hmm do I really want to do what I am contemplating, yes, yes I do.

@Kasimir I'd like to change my character to just Emma, twin of Wizard. Corruptor of all. Avatar of the Kaos. And so much more...

[Kasimir he/him]

I've noticed that some people have been asking about the no existing player rule. ( @StrikerEZ here as well for convenience.)

Strictly speaking, we are regarding 'existing player' as any SE player in the database. Here's the problem:

• If you take the name of a player who is playing this game, people are going to be confused. So will your GMs. This is unhelpful. Please don't do that.
   
• We have had games where players signed up as a player not playing the game, but then proceeded to do stuff like RP them in a relationship with another player. Things can get out of hand and become deeply hurtful. We don't want to be spending our energy stopping fires after they start. Please don't create this situation to begin with. Don't use the usernames of other players.
   
• We are allowing variants of other players' usernames, e.g. we am cool with someone signing up as Stricker. However, in those cases, we request you be respectful in your RP. Think about how the other player would feel about your conduct, and behave accordingly. Good-natured parodies are fun. But if the other players aren't laughing, we will ask you find something else. Long story short, we're treating you all like mature adults. Please live up to this expectation. Thank you  
   
• We have also had games like LG53 where signing up with variants of other players' usernames went fine. We are hoping this will be LG53 in that regard

Would someone being "The Flash" as an old version of Steeldancer be alright then?

We'll allow it, especially if it's you

If you have any issues with what they are doing, or feel it is disrespectful, or honestly if you are not comfortable with them doing it, tell us (drop Fifth, Elan, me a PM) or say it ahead of time, and we will ask players to avoid doing so.

Honestly I'd be so entertained by someone being young stupid me that I might just do it myself if nobody else does

Funnily enough, this (image hopefully somewhere in this post) is what comes up for me when I tap that second image.

I didn't play MR56 personally. But I understand perfectly well that this will probably be a miserable, possibly annoying experience. Which, according to my philosophy, will then allow me to tell great stories about what a terrible idea signing up for this game was.

This guy gets it.

Also, I can’t quote Kas’s post for some reason, so: @Kasimir you shouldn’t have to worry about me making Kjell do things you wouldn’t appreciate. I’m not planning on actually RPing all that much considering my current workload. I will, however, be using this RP character at any and all times deemed comedically appropriate.

Kjell doesn't exist and I don't know who Kjell is so uh, you're good to go? I trust you though bro, you're fine

I appreciate the trust, totally-not-secretly-Kjell-sometimes.

I’ll sign up as Metalcognition, definitely not an impostor for the founder of our game.

Oh hey welcome back Meta! Totally didn't recognise you with that Pooh display picture there :eyes:

[Devotary of Spontaneity]

I don't know how this will work since I'll be playing multiple characters, but I'll sign up as Cecelia, Devona, and Saponin. Feel free to give me multiple roles.

[Amanuensis he/him]

Call me Aman.

ED1T:

Or better yet, I'll sign up as Adavantos. @Kasimir

I died C1 of MR56 so I never actually got to experience blackout/flipless. Is it wrong to be looking forward to it :D.

Yes and no. In all fairness I wouldn't have run this lightly especially given MR56 and the committee would not have okayed this if we didn't think it was going to be fun. Blackout and fliplessness will allow us to do Some Things you can't get away with when running a regular game.

That being said, Fifth and I disavow all responsibility if you get C1ed for whatever reason

Sorry man, sometimes it do be that way.

For I am TKN (The Totally Kool Novel)! I will not be turned away from this path, you underestimate my power, my vigor, my strength of mind! You underestimate my sheer ability to act cool while the world burns around me.

If you're Known now, we can't keep calling you TUN. What about TKN? Tekken.

Wait. Why are we whispering?

Forgot to ask, @Kasimir, since I think you forgot, would you kind telling me what the roles are and do? Pretty please? With a quokka cherry on top?

Edit: Honestly, for a second I mixed my names up and called myself TKO (Total, not Technical), but then I had to change my name.

Spoiler

I could tell you the roles, but then you can't play this game :eyes:

Tbh probably not even then. All vetters have signed a strict NDA with their immoral souls as collateral. Running a tight ship here.

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

Okay, but surely you're a man of reason *drops sack of coins with quokkas printed on them* what's wrong with helping a friend out? Just a little hint in the right direction.

1. Play and find out

2. Stop trying to bribe local law enforcement  

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

On second thought, you're running this game, you likely aren't a man of reason.

*Sack of coins disappears* bribe, an officer of the law *scoffs at the sheer incredulity of it* why would you ever accuse me of such a thing?
