    I accidentally microwaved a spoon in my coffee mug a few weeks ago, but oddly, nothing happened. It wasn’t hot either. I didn’t notice it until I pulled my coffee back out.

    That’s an awesome plan, @Extesian!

    Best of luck Eternum! I hope you already know what her answer will be.

    No one commented on it, which I’m taking as a good sign (my sister would not have hesitated to say anything if it looked bad). I feel pretty good about it, and also about my miniature solo I got to sing. Who’s next?!

    We chose names for our kids specifically to be gendered, just because we don't like the ambiguity of reading someone's name and not knowing whether they're a boy or a girl. We passed over a couple names specifically for that reason, in fact, even though we kinda liked them (though I think we still liked the names we settled on the most anyways). Caleb, Elanor, and Grant are all fairly consistently gendered names as far as I know.

    I'm hoping this can end up just being a nice thread of well-wishing, similar to the Good News and Bad News threads, but with a slightly different purpose: If you're about to try something new or that you're nervous about, just post here and get well-wishes from everyone! To start, I'm trying a new fashion choice (a colored undershirt under an open button-down shirt) without consulting my wife or my sisters, on stage, in front of my entire church, in just a couple hours.

    @Mestiv is known for creeping people out with his signature. Oh, and he's a mod (a really good one too).

    @Calderis For being crazy active and posting all sorts of theories and ideas.

    My car’s AC died. It’s August. In Florida. ’Nuff said.

    You and @Darkness Ascendant appear to be correct. I must have been remembering some bad information.

    Let’s please have unlimited or at least more PMs. Always more fun when that option is available, in my mind (even though I underutilize them).
  12. Jondesu
    Yeah, I'd say that should be a requirement. At the very least it's a really good idea if you want them to realize they've been shot and shouldn't continue posting. EDIT: Can someone else please submit a rule about a role or alignment? I don't want this game to be lacking in an actual purpose.
  13. Jondesu
    Umm, that seems like a really weird way to do it. I get that I already have one other vote, but any vote manip is going to be able to swing the vote to anyone with at least one vote without any problem. Honestly? I can believe that. I'd be fine lynching winter as well, but I'll buy into the theory and switch my vote for now from Elith to Majestic. Partially for self-preservation, but it did have the feel of winter and Majestic having discussed this in a doc and then coming here to give the idea, not realizing how similar their posts would sound. EDIT: Because there's almost always an evil faction.

    @Darkness Ascendant, you’re amazingly random and unpredictable when you want to be. Also, hearing what bits of your story we have, I think you’re one of the strongest people here, just by continuing to be here (not just on the boards). Keep it up.

    Can I change my rule? There’s a role I’ve been dying (heh) to use for a while, but I’m not planning to put it into the game I’m running. “There will be a unique role of the Gunsmith, who will start the game with 5 guns. Each night, they may give one gun each to any players they choose, up to the maximum of 5 handed out, and they may instead choose to keep one of those for themselves. Those guns can be used by the players they have been given to at any time. This includes during the middle of the discussion during the day. To use the gun, they should simply post a message in bold saying “I am shooting [player name].” The player who has been shot will die immediately unless they have some form of protection, and must immediately stop posting in the thread and responding to PMs. Any player who claims to use a gun but was not given on will die immediately instead.”

    Why exactly is this game different? We never know what to discuss Day 1, and here, trying to prompt discussion is even more important since we don’t yet know the full framework of the game. Having a random lynch gives us far less useful information than lynching someone ourselves. And I agree, I don’t like easily manipulated lynches. Weigh in, people.
  17. Jondesu
    Yeah, so this has already been said, but there's nothing mean about it. I provided my logic for all to see, and it wasn't because I thought he said something dumb or wanted to put him down, but because I think he might be trying to kill me and everyone else (except a team, unless he's actually a SK role).
  18. Jondesu
    Uh, yes? I dunno. That wasn’t my rule.

    It’s The Cosmere, didn’t you see? Nothing exists yet, but we’re creating our Cosmere here.

    Signing up as Kintas (and winter, if you’re signing up as the actual Hoid, we might have some interesting conversations). I voted in the poll for a split cycle. My rule proposal: “Any action that is taken has a 25% chance of failure. Failure results in the action targeting a different random player.”
  21. Jondesu
    @Elithanathile, I did speak up against it already. I said it was dangerous and while it wasn’t awful, I didn’t like the idea. I’ve since realized the additional information we’d lack, largely because of your post, and found it suspicious that you were pushing it as a good way to get information when it clearly isn’t.
  22. Jondesu
    He’s not confirmed anything. He claimed it, but that doesn’t mean I believe it, or that I should.
  23. Jondesu
    A random death gives us far less information than a lynch, though. We don’t get to see who votes for them or tries to change the lynch target, we don’t get to hear the defense and any critical information they might share or let slip under pressure. Instead, we get only their alignment and role (assuming this game does that part normally), and nothing to correlate that with. Elith, I feel a random lynch target is a bad idea and a dangerous plan, but while it was suggested by Mint originally (I think) and there’s been other debate about it, no one else’s post read like someone trying to talk the village into a bad situation knowingly. Almost like you wrote that in a doc and then copy/pasted it here.

    I think of our general impression of snakes here in the USA is negative as well. Calling someone a snake is saying they're deceptive and a liar, often a con man. I suspect thats partially because of that view of the serpent in the garden. Back in Hebrew culture, the story of Genesis would probably have been recorded by Moses sometime during their desert travels, though I don't think we know for sure. At one point they had a plague of venomous snakes, and Moses was told to make a bronze snake and place it on a pole; anyone who looked at the snake was healed. That's the origin of the medical symbol of a snake wrapped around a pole. It isn't about a positive view of snakes there. The thing about owls in your culture is interesting. Here we always talk about the "wise old owl" and they're usually seen as wise and knowledgeable.

    I might be ok with a no lynch in this case, but if someone wanted to make sure they got to control the lynch, all they’d have to do is suggest that no one votes, then add their own vote at the end, or worse, use a vote manip ability (we don’t know if they exist in this game, but it’s very possible). I’m always wary of those plans, but also of those who suggest them. I won’t cast a vote and lose the opportunity just yet, but it’s a risky plan.
