    About to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron with my Family. They haven't seen it yet. Unrelated, does anyone have any Sci-fi/Mystery book series they can recommend for a 10 year old genius? (Literal Genius. outsmarts me.) My aunt is asking for her son.
  2. Jo and the Bush
    Look at that. Two games posted at once. I'd like a link to the spec doc, if there is one.

    What type of things will you be debating?

    Players start with Bags of boxings. They count as items. The Order of Actions is now in the Rules Clarifications post. It comes first. Before everything else. It's meant to act as a roleblock. No. Which means that it is possible to fake being drugged. You can use the same PM from turn to turn, but every turn will be reported in the writeup. Incidentally, does anyone have a better name for the thief's cloak?

    Players List: Master Elodin (Elodin Rotec) Clanky (The Nameless Senator) Kynedath (Declan Tynedell) Mailliw (Liram) Elbereth (Elentari) Phattamer (Rodent Optimus) ThatTinyStrawMan (Oromis) Not the Elven Dragon Rider. LUNA (Luna Arryn ) Bugsby6912 (Abban Prodestum) DeathClutch (Dyson Trump) Amanuensis ( Biorney Sanderson) Ripplgylf (Chantelle Lepinceau) IrulelikeSTINK (Rod Clintham) Wonko the Sane (Dr. Nowko Lestibournes) TheMightyLopen (Senator Palpatine) Silverblade (The Senator without a Name) Alvron (Alron) HellScythe (Ritt Momney) Adamair (Edris Calvert) Orlok (Cicero) Spectator List: The Only Joe (Constable-General Yosef) [GM] Metacognition (Governer Machmuller) [Neutral Moderator] Haelbarde (Assistant General Dr Rab Heatherlocke) [spectator] Rule Clarifications: Order of Actions: Search Warrant Pretty much everthing else. Lynch Dagger Is the only way to get bags of boxings by being involved in a lynch? Players start with Bags of boxings. They count as items. Will drugged players be revealed in the writeup? No. Which means that it is possible to fake being drugged. If you start a PM with someone in the holding cells, will you keep that for the entire game? And if so, will you re-state that the PM exists every cycle? Yes. You can use the same PM from turn to turn, but every turn will be reported in the writeup. Can I give someone an Item or a Bag of Gold? No. You have to use it on them. Does the Medical Kit protect against Lynches? Of course not. That make's no sense. They're being arrested, not killed. Can I kill someone in Jail? Yes. Can I use any Item on someone in Jail? Yes. Can people in jail use items? On other people in jail? Sure. Can Players in Jail vote? No. What happens if two people bribe the same player to vote for someone? Shenanigans happen. You'll have to try it and find out. (It involves a coin flip though.) If I have multiple Bags of Boxings, can I bribe the same person multiple times? Are there things you're not telling us? Would you believe me regardless of my answer?

    Corruption in the Senate? The Elendel Daily. 7th of Doxil, 194 Rumors have been flying fast and furious of corruption in the senate. Senators have been accused of embezzling senate funds, offering incentives to their own houses, vanishing troublesome opponents, and otherwise acting in shady and illegal ways. In an effort to deal with the situation, Governor Macmuller has called a conference, inviting several dozen senators and close friends to determine what should be done. It is unknown which senators he has invited, but we at Elendel Daily will be sure to report their names to you as soon as we discover them! Constable-General Yosef, of the first precinct is in charge of security at the conference, and was quoted as saying, “ Will personally see that any corrupt Senator is brought to justice.” Yosef is noted to be a close friend of the Governor, and has a history of overkill when it comes to threats to the Governor. We pity anyone foolish enough to break the peace of this conference. The newspaper was crumpled into a ball and thrown into the hearth as the reader yelled in frustration. “Why can’t he just leave well enough alone?” Two senators sat in the office, one patient, the other scared. Patience relaxed at the desk, while Scared paced by the hearth. Both knew their illegal dealing would come to light at this conference they had been invited to. “Don’t worry. I have plans to ensure he won’t discover us.” Patience unlocked a drawer on the desk and withdrew a vial of liquid. “I’ll have my aide slip a few drops of this into his drink, and he’ll die a quick, painless, natural death.” “We’re already suspected of smuggling and embezzlement, now you want us arrested for murder?!” “It’s either murdering him now, or life in jail and dishonour on our houses. The choice to me seems obvious. Macmuller must die. And when I replace him as governor, our illegal dealings can be easily swept under the rug.” Scared sank down into one of the chairs before the desk and sighed. “Fine. We’ll do it. But this better not backfire.” “No one will ever know. And if they do, we’ll remove them, as we’ve removed all the others. Quick Fix rules are in effect. Each turn will be 24 hours long, and will feature a lynch. There are two teams, The Senate, who must arrest or kill all the Corrupt senators, and The Corrupt Senators, who must Arrest or kill all the Senators. The game will begin on Tuesday, at 9pm PST. (One week, and about 5 hours from this post.) The Lynch: Classic rules. At least two votes to be lynched. If a player is lynched, she is sent to the Holding Cells beneath the Senate. Alignment will be revealed upon being arrested. Ties are a bit different. In the case of a tie. I will flip a coin for each player. If Tails come up, that player is arrested. If Heads comes up. That player is freed. Yes, this means that multiple players can be arrested per cycle. At least four votes need to be involved in a tie for the coin flip to happen. So if two people are tied, they each need to have two votes or more. But if four or more people are tied, they only need one vote or more to have a coin flipped. (If you’re careful, you can get every player arrested in the first cycle.) If a Player is successfully lynched, the Constables confiscate all their items except the bags of boxings. All boxings owned by the Constables will be distributed among the voters of a successful lynch. The Holding Cells: Where the Lynched players are. They all get a doc to communicate in. Players who have not been arrested or killed can start PM’s with these players. A list of who has a PM with what player will be posted at the start of each cycle. Unarrested players can still use items on jailed players. Jailed players can use those items against other jailed players. PM’s: Make sure to include me. Pm’s can only be one-on-one. You can have as many as you want. Roles: Corrupt Senator: Can communicate with their fellow corrupt in a doc. They do not have a group kill action. Senator: No special actions. Governor: You have three Votes. You can split them up, or put them all on the same person. Nobody starts with this role. Players must instead vote for a player to receive this role. The vote must be made in purple.The player to become Governor must have a majority(More than half) of all players votes. The Governor cannot be affect by any items, except the Execution (See; Bags of Boxings) Items: Players may use each item once. They may use all of their items at the same time, or save them. Once an item is used, it is given to the player it was used against. EX: If Mailliw drugs Wilson, then Wilson will be given the drugs, and can choose to drug someone else the next turn. You cannot give a player an item. If a Player is killed by the Dagger, the dagger and all other items will go to a random person who voted for them. If nobody voted for the player, then all items will be confiscated by the Constables. There are multiple of each item. Each player will start with at least one item If a Player is arrested, their items will be confiscated by the Constables. Dagger: One kill action. (Alignment will not be revealed) Drug: A Drugged player may not talk in thread or in PM’s for one turn. Drugged Players will not be listed in the writeup. Ledgers: Look through another Senator’s papers, and discover whether or not they're corrupt. Medical Kit: Prevent one attack against a player. (Does not protect from Lynches) Search Warrant: Steals all items and Gold a player has Bag of Boxings: 1 bag: Change someone’s vote. 1 bag: Talk to an arrested player without your name being posted. 3 bags: Buy a random item from the Constables 3 bags: Bribe a player to target someone with their item. 5 bags: Buy a specific item from the Constables. 15 bags: Bribe the Constables to execute the Governor. Cannot be blocked. 30 bags: Bribe the Constables to execute all other players. You win. Your team does not. Some prices will be determined by the number of players in the game. Order of Actions: Search Warrant Pretty Much Everything Else Lynch All other Kills Quick Links:

    Do any of you read Korean? I've spent the past half hour attempting to use Google Translate to read a few lines in a comic. Using my mouse to draw Korean charters, then guessing which character the artist's handwriting was depicting is very annoying. And not entirely accurate.

    Meta. Meta no. Why would you recommend we watch that? That was the darkest movie I've ever seen. Yes, it parallels SE, at least it parallels the mechanics, but it does not parallel the relationships we all have with eachother. That was horrible to watch. I mean, at first it was cool, intriguing, but it just got dark. So. Incredibly. Dark. I would not recommend this move. I cannot stress how dark it is. That ending destroys all my faith in humanity. I like dark stories and movies, but this was too dark for me. This was literally the darkest movie I've ever watched. Meta, why would you recommend that?

    Hearne's portrayal of the religions of the world is wonderful to read, though I feel like he could have portrayed Jesus a bit differently. Hey, has anyone ever seen the movie The Secret of Kells?
  13. Jo and the Bush

    Currently watching The Secret of Kells. Ye gods it's amazing.

    Which book did she stop on? I didn't actually catch any of the allusions he used in his books until my third readthrough of Narnia.

    I've always loved unique Tags. But then Kobold broke the Extra one by showing up: e@x%&tra **t(a}g In other news, this happened at my High School, and authorities finally released the name of the student. I knew him. There is nothing scarier than realizing that someone you know is capable of something like that.

    I would really like it if an Analyst could target me this cycle, so that this post can be proven, as it kind of affects most people's notes on power distribution. So uh, I jokingly complained to the Gm's About not being elevated. Not expecting an answer, I asked how many Bloody points it took to get elevated in the Archives. (I have 20 ep in the Archives.) I can't quote or copy/paste, but Wilson replied, and said something along the lines of 'There's a field that may or may not have 80 Points in it. Guess which one.' I asked her If I could relay that info to you guys, and she basically said that she didn't give me info, she said it was maybe. So, if you're trying to get elevated in the Archives, there's a good chance that you won't, since apparently we all are. (That's assuming that Wilson isn't deliberately misleading me. But I trust she wouldn't deceive her First Disciple.) I haven't yet decided If I'm going to try for a different Disipline, or stay in Archives. I am not a Skindancer.

    The worst part about choir concerts is the waiting before hand. I can see the audience filling up, and I know my friends and family are out there somewhere and and I'm gonna have to sing songs thay I only half know in front of them and unholy hell why did I sign up for choir? Wait, nevermind. Kobold's whimsy distracted me. Thanks Kobold!

    Are you moving to that planet or being born on that planet? If you're moving there, Nalthis is really the only option in order to get easy access to Magic systems. All the others you have to be born on the planet with the proper ancestry. (Or get the heck beaten out of you.) Breaths and Awaking are the way to go. Not to mention the most versatile.

      I can argue with Alvron.

      Is the amusement of watching them acramble really worth the lost hour of sleep though?

    3. Alvron

      Alvron

      I work nights so there is no lost hour of sleep. Just one less hour of work. Although I do get paid for the missing hour. So, yeah. Totally worth it.

    I just accidently crackshipped Applejack and Spot the Diamond Dog. What the hey Joe.

    I have finally read the Pottermore stuff Twi keeps complaining about. If the Wizards are so determined to stay isolated from the No-maj's, why the Braize did they relocate to New York?

    [colour=OOC]Ugh, fine. I'll use something else. Were there any other general rule changes that I should be aware of? I really don't want to go back and reread all the games I missed.[/colour=OOC] I am not a Skindancer.

    I have been using Blue for out of Character discussion the entire game, and will continue to do so, unless Wilson explicitly says that blue text doesn't count. But I would bet ten talents that it does count. It doesn't make any sense for it to not count. As for the Masters argument, Dow just got expelled, and three people just got lashed, all without masters. So I am going to continue doing my best to prevent unproven players from becoming Masters. I am Not a Skindancer. EDIT: Darn it. Changing to Black.
  24. Jo and the Bush
    Elbereth, Death Clutch. As I said before, I don't think it is beneficial to the students to have someone become a master, unless we have proof beyond the shadow of a doubt that they're a student. I am not a Skindancer.
