    I'll take it (and I'll take another LG slot to replace the one I'm using). I'll try and get my rules to the committee Monday/Tuesday and then get signups posted shortly after.
  2. Araris Valerian
    I will be the IM for this game.
  3. Araris Valerian
    Sure. Just be warned that you might need to ping me, my SE bandwidth is kinda low right now.
  4. Araris Valerian
    Yeah, I'm going to officially close the nominations (and the voting by default). @Ashbringer will be our representative, and @Aeternum will be our backup. As is tradition, feel free to bestow a gift upon our representative to aid them in their upcoming murder party. I offer Aralis's Skepticism, for when someone is saying something patently ridiculous and just needs to be told that to their face. You can also borrow one of his staves in case the message needs a reinforcing thwacking.

    Whoops. I misread the username on that post, since it wasn't a green Luke. Darn young folks changing their profiles.

    I'm gonna decline. I haven't actually played a game in a while, so even if I had the time/energy I think I'm too out of practice to perform well. I'll set up a poll in a couple of days, currently it would be between Ash and Aet

    I’m willing to de-loft myself so long as you have a porch with attached rocking chair for me to be impartial from.

    By the way, if we end up at a prime number, I'll swap to spectating. Just in case nobody signs up in the 3 days remaining.

    Currently there isn't much of one. I'm not a discord mod, so I can't speak to that side of things, but what I was told about was largely administrative stuff; how to use subforum mod powers, what the practical side of IMing looks like. Perhaps in part because of a lack of training in regards to bad actors, I'm very comfortable forwarding on stuff to other mods.

    Yeah, we follow the same policy as the broader Shard. We'd forward the report to the site mods and also bring it up in the SE mods DM in case there's anything we need to take action on in regards to docs or games that are currently running. If the report is specifically about player actions in a game then the IM would work with the GM to take immediate steps to put a stop to the behavior. Wilson might be able to comment a bit more on this later, as she had some experience with a player names Gears around LG74.

    Hey everyone, thanks for playing! As usual, this is when the mod team likes to announce the changes we have planned for the upcoming year. The general goal of these changes is to try and get some larger size games running this year, and to make our community more accessible to new players. Before all that, however, there are a couple of changes to the moderation team. @CadCom joined the moderators during the middle of last year, and he's already been a lot of help spreading the work of IMing games, so please welcome him! And @StrikerEZ has decided he's too busy right now, so he's stepping down. We are going to have a couple of additions to how signups work for games. The first is a minor change: new game signup threads now must include “Sign Ups” in the title to make it more clear where new players should go to join a game. The second change is that we will now have an option to extend signups indefinitely until a minimum player count is met. Games of this nature should have “Extended Sign Ups” in the title, and we will try to run at least one extended sign up concurrently with the more regularly occurring games. Part of what we feel gives Sanderson Elimination its identity are the crazy, massive games we run like the Kingkiller Chronicles University games and various games involving all of the shards of Adonalsium. Hopefully this addition will let us get some more games like these off the ground! While this doesn’t constitute an official change, we’d like to bring the level of competitiveness down a notch or two in our games. Kasimir has been conducting surveys with a number of players, and one common point of feedback was the feeling that there is more pressure now on individual players to perform, and less room to “hang out”, more or less. While there will always be a competitive element to SE, we’d like both new and old players to be comfortable signing up for a game just for the experience, without having to feel like they are letting their team down if they can’t/don’t want to play at the same level of intensity as other players. So keep this in mind for future games that you play. Lastly, as a part of efforts to invite new players to the community, we have a couple of final additions. @Kasimir has created some signature banners over in the SEAcropolis thread, so if you are so inclined take a look and pick one out (and link it to the subforum, which you can do by double-clicking on the image once it's pasted into your signature). @little wilson has posted a new onboarding + Q&A thread so that anyone that visits us will be able to find their way around more easily. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the above, and here’s to another year of gentlemanly murder and roleplay!

    Okay, so two things for everyone to do: First, please submit an (unordered) list of the 3 players that you thought did the best job of playing their cosmetic role (or that you want to recognize for some other reason) in your GM PM. The 3 players that receive the most votes will get a pass for running a non-Sanderson themed game that ignores the normal once-per-5-games restriction. Secondly, if you so desire, please add a entry to the logbook PM for your anonymous account. The contents of the entry are up to you, but should include your normal username, character name, the game number, and then any other details about the game that you want future owners of the account to see. I think at least one of the accounts doesn't have a logbook PM yet, so whoever that is should send a PM to themselves titled :-Account Name- Logbook. And here are links to the docs for your enjoyment. The master spreadsheet will be posted along with some other info once all the voting is done. Dead Doc Spiked Doc Thank you everyone for playing, and a huge thanks to @Kasimir for his writeups and the other things he did behind the scenes.

    Yeah, 2 consecutive cycles of inactivity trigger the filter, and we do have 2 pinch-hitters.
