I'll sign up as a pinch hitter, but I'm busy for this week.

Bort. You are the only player that hasn't responded yet...

There Irwin was, in front of the class, no pants, dawning with the realization that he had forgotten his pack of gum. He remembered clearly what had happened to it, of course. (He was a genius, after all). It was in his pants pocket. At home. He had forgotten to wear them today. It wasn't the first time: nobody ever seemed to notice. Perhaps they thought his underwear were shorts. They were certainly long enough. And although he didn't know for certain, he suspected most people didn't have pockets all over their underwear. He was frantically searching through them now, hoping that one of them might contain what he so desperately needed. The class had begun to whisper among themselves. He had to find it soon, or else.... The possibilities were too horrible to contemplate. As he searched his last pocket, sure all was lost, his finger closed around a glorious object: Mr. Cosmo's Wintergreen Bubble Gum. Irwin heaved a sigh of relief. He unwrapped the bubblegum, put it in his mouth, and began to chew. "By the way," he said through his chewing, "those of you unwilling to venture outside the spectrum of 'normal' should probably leave. Right now." No one left. Irwin smiled as he began to blow. Guess they're used to this now. -- People heard the bang throughout the building. Nearby teacher rushed to the scene, but all they found was a note. It read: Sorry, busy saving world. Be back soon!!!! ******************************************************************************* But that wasn't the question! thought Adam angrily, as he stormed out of his starflight physics class.

I'll play as well. I had a couple of ideas for variations to play.

Sorry for not being able to contribute much this game. I found it difficult to find time to get on. Next game I'll do better :). Reading through the docs is very entertaining. I'm amused that nobody thought that my placing Drought's vote the first round was just to give the Ciridae an opportunity to decide a lynch victim. I mostly seem to have inadvertently helped this game, in addition to having some very narrow misses. (Thanks for everybody who protected me or Drought.) I guess it's better than inadvertently hurting.

I'll sign up as Demmanu, a mysterious stranger probably lying about his name.

Yeah, Mega. Are you going to respond? I know it can be hard to post sometimes, but why are you staying so quiet?

Well, I'm not dead. Thank you, Droughtbringer. I'm going to give an item out today. I have three that are available: the knife, the lodestone, and the wine.

Rae. I don't know why either. I might be totally wrong, but I have to vote for someone.

Yes. If the Namer is someone else, please send a message so we know you aren't dead. I think this also confirms that Orlok was not elim.

Orlok roleclaimed Minor Singer to me as well. I have also not gotten a Namer message: has anyone, this cycle? If not, I wonder if Orlok was the Namer. I'm sorry for not posting very much: this is my first game, and I don't know much.

Bort, because I've never been voted upon before. I'm sorry for not responding much on the thread: I don't really know much about this sort of gameplay, so I don't really feel I have much to add. However, I got a PM from Orlok that was quite strange.

Steeldancer. I don't know what else to do right now...

I'm posting here to get notified of future posts. I think it's the results of last round were interesting.

Signing up as a spectator. Also, what are the iocane rules?

@Arraenae, I thought the three no-votes had to be in a row. Sorry, I didn't realize the thread had started here. Megasif, completely randomly.

I don't want to be unnamed for my first forum Mafia game, so I'll take the name Reyalp Nwoknu. Keep the Mysterious Stranger, though.

I'm in for now, but might change my mind later to spec.

Can I be added as a spectator? (Also, what's a pinch hitter?)

I hadn't considered Allomantic grenades. I wonder, can you nicroburst an Allomantic grenade? Also, how long do those sorts of bubbles last? In addition, does the grenade drain your own energy? (Probably no, on the last one. If I remember correctly, power comes from the ettmetal/harmonium inside the grenade). If someone could charge up four grenades at once, plus a nicroburst grenade, and threw them at someone.... I wonder, how far into the future would they get? Now, people on this thread seem to be confused about time bubble burning ratios. Now, I think that the burn rate will almost certainly stay the same. However, keep in mind that rate includes time. If the time is outside time, then there really isn't any bonus, beyond the stacking of bubbles: the only difference will be how fast it is on the inside. However, if the time is bubble time, the multiple Pulsers/a-grenades would get a huge boost if they were nicrobursted (the rest of the post will assume this idea). Now the way I see it, with just one Pulser/a-grenade, flaring or nicrobursting would increase the burn rate proportional to the increase in time rate. I don't know any facts on nicrobursting, but for now, let's assume that a nicroburst can compress 30 minutes of burn into three seconds. If power is conserved, that should give 30*60/3=900 times the power. 900 times? And that isn't even counting the 8 to 1 time compression. Is that happening with every duralumin/nicrosil blast? Some power is surely being lost here. I'm going to assume this is the case for now, but it probably isn't this effective. With one of these, you get 3 seconds on the inside for four hours outside. If you do this again, it's still three seconds on the inside, but you have to multiply by the nicrosil rate times the compression factor again. With what we assume, that's 7200. Meaning, if you nicrobust two Pulsers/a-grenades, you get 3 seconds for 28800 hours. That's 3.28 years. Add 2 more and you multiply by 7200 squared. That's 170 milllion years! In 3 seconds! With 2 hours of cadmium! With that much effective power, bursting through a day could be done with maybe a few atoms. (If someone thinks I'm wrong here, please correct me)

I expect with just one cadmium-burner time compressed would not change, but what about two? If, for instance, two cadmium-burners both compressed time in a bubble, I think it might be possible that the objective burn rate of cadmium would increase, but the subjective burn rate would stay the same (that is to say, it burns for longer for those outside, but exactly the same for those inside). This would be able to get you quite far, but imagine if instead they were nicrobursted. The time compression would be significantly greater, and therefore not only will the bubble slow time down more, but it will last for longer as well. All this is, of course, pretty pointless if cadmium burn rate is objective. If it was subjective, however, how far do you think this could get?

What do you think would happen if a Nicroburst used their power on a Cadmium misting? What about two at the same time? How much farther would this allow you to stretch time? If cadmium's burn rate depends on the time inside a bubble, this could easily be used to slow down time insanely, but how much?

Count me in.
