Changed name for Ookla Season. The site still won't let me change my Member Title since the site update but I put my old username (Matrim's Dice) in my signature. It's not viewable on mobile but it's the best I could do. Pfp remains unchanged, as usual.

*smiles through the pain* Great! 

I think my approach is going to be to ask that when you vote, you also ping the person you're talking about so there's a permanent path to follow, even if their name changes mid-game. 

 

I'm also going to officially close signups now.

Will the game still begin at the scheduled time? (I think it's a day from now?)

I can be a pinch-hitter if you need a second one.

Quick Fix 69: Cycle One: A Corrupted Kretchsire

“I haven’t hurt a soul!”

“That’s exactly our point! Drull are killers.”

They dragged Ionil away from the field of sprouts.

“Who else have you corrupted with your pacifism?”

Her heels kicked up an angry cloud of red dust.

“The binary of Light and Dark is an illusion. We can chart our own path!”
“Who have you corrupted?”

“I will die with that secret. The first ever drull to die not in service of the Narrative.”

“Then die,” said the mob. “Who’s next?”

Ionil was executed! They were an Enlightened Drull.

 *

Welcome to QF69! I'm your GM, Archer. 

Basics

Each Day and Night are combined into one 24-hour-long Cycle.

Every Cycle, there is an execution, which is decided by a vote. The minimum number of votes somebody can be exed by is 1. Ties result in no death.

Every Cycle, one of the Enlightened Drull can submit an order to kill one player. 

If you don't post for two cycles in a row, you will be removed from the game and, if one is available, replaced by a pinch hitter. If none are available, you die.

PMs are not open.

Votes are submitted using RED TEXT. Please do not overuse red text or similar colors. Once a vote has been submitted, it can not be revoked for the rest of the cycle. 

EXCEPT, once per game, players may submit an order in their GM PM to either i) secretly remove their vote or ii) secretly double their vote. The vote tally will reflect the change, but the names will not. This can be done in addition to submitting a kill order. 

All actions occur simultaneously.

Alignments

Sensible Drull: You win when all the Enlightened Drull are eliminated.

Enlightened Drull: You have a shared doc in which to conspire. You win when you reach parity with the Sensible Drull.

Bonus Activity: Word Sneak

Over the centuries, a handful of travellers have moved between the realms. As you were stalking one once, you heard them say a funny-sounding phrase. As an inside joke, like to slip it into your conversations.

Players will be assigned a short phrase at the start of the game. Any players who use their phrase three times in-thread (in roleplay of out-of-character speech) before the end of the game without it being guessed by other players wins a (meaningless) prize! 

Players may guess other players' phrases in their GM PMs. Once they get one wrong, they may not guess again. Guesses may be slightly more than correct, but they can not contain omissions. The player who makes the most correct guesses wins an even greater (meaningless) prize!

Schedule

The game begins NOW, on Monday, November 27 at 8pm EST (GMT-5). The cycle ends in 24 hours, on November 28th at 8pm. 

Ookla Season Rules

Please put your previous name in your member title. It’d also make my life easier if you’d ping the person you vote for to make it perfectly clear who you’re accusing.

I didn't forget to: it's never been standard practice.

It's also barely two hours since the start of cycle and not Stick's timezone yet. I'm not concerned she'll miss it.

This is a special request from the GM. It's technically voluntary, but to avoid situations where someone changes their name mid-Cycle and I can't figure out who your vote refers to, I'd appreciate if you'd @ people you vote for as well.

Propose people use orange to vote and purple to retract for the moment if it doesn't count as too red-ish for @Ookla the Paradigm

This orange

And this purple?

Was my thoughts, yeah, if @Ookla the Paradigm's agreeable. We used to use it in some games.

You can get there with:

[color=orange]Text[/color]
[color=purple]Text[/color]

Which is the main advantage of this.

But these ones don't count, right?

 EDIT: does pink work

You still have to vote in Red, correct?
