You can also just message me or one of the other mods on the Shard.

It’s not that the committee has changed, it’s that there are 2 separate roles: committee member and subforum moderator. But both roles can give approval to games and should be included in approval PMs.

I can see past messages. Though I’ve kinda given my thoughts on that game already.

This discussion is a bit off topic though, so if you have anything further to add we can move it to that game approval PM or another PM.

Yeah you're right

And I appreciate your comments, I just didn't really know where to take the discussion after that

I appreciate the ping but I won't be able to do a LG. Just came back for last game due to the stars aligning.

I might not be able to play a lot...

But I guess Your Mistakes wants another run, this time without getting murdered!

Your Mistakes is ready to point fingers! (long games are a lot better than QF or MR)

You’re welcome to invite folks! It could be nice to have some other mathematicians around . And if they bounce off then no harm done.

Welcome! When you have a bit of time, please check out our rules thread.

You don’t really need to engage in the flavor of our games if you don’t want to, but there will likely be a few people that do some role-playing on top of the gameplay.

I’m the impartial mod, so if you have any concerns during the game don’t hesitate to message me.

Also, good luck on the AMCS! I had fun with it when I was younger, though I never really did any special studying/prep outside of math club.

Hi!

The flavor is based off the Mistborn book series by author Brandon Sanderson

Basically, the Lord Ruler (a god-like emperor who rule for a thousand years) just got overthrown and his successor is Elend Venture, an inexperienced youth whose democratic tendencies concern many loyalists of the old empire

Right now, the city where Elend sits (Luthadel) is being sieged by three armies at once, one of them led by Elend’s own father

We are playing as Lords in Elend’s council. The “village” players are pro Elend, and the “elim” players are anti-Elend

It’s good to have you!

[roadster36 he/him]

thanks

lol when I saw that scumteam has a doc I interpreted them as having what this site calls a guard

Yeah, I got no idea what you’re talking about

[Myst He/Him]

I’d join, but @CoderDrag0n8 has gotten me addicted to his ORV, and so I’m doing that right now. That said, there is a possibility I finish before Tuesday, so I can maybe play

[Through the Living Hopper He/Him]

Since @DrakeMarshall wouldn't let me last game :(, I'm going to be R2D2.

Ideally.

I would love to join but I have no idea how to play and I would only me semi-active.

If you want to play but think your activity will be low, I’d suggest communicating with everyone else in the game roughly when and how much you can post. This is a team game at some level, and it can be unfun when you need someone to vote with you or send in an action but they don’t show up. And I’d say if you can’t at least check in once every 24 hours for the majority of the game it would be better to sign up as a spectator to get a feel for things.

But don’t let not knowing the rules get in your way! I think even the long-time players like me don’t fully understand the specific rules for games we play until, after they start .

My post up above has a link to the rules and etiquette thread (also pinned in the subforum), which I’d suggest skimming at some point.

[Divergent He/Him]

Checked my availability. Move me to pinch hitter

That reminds me I want to continue reading ORV again at some point. I took a break around 300~ or so

I do check at least every 24 hours.
