    Orlok was busy enough that she ended up being the IM for the game in all but name. I went to her about Walin and about PM's. Also, Alvron and Steel, that was funny to watch. Steel made a bad assumption, and never once protected himself during a day cycle. He would have been convertable even without a roleblock because of that.

    "Ah don't think that Logmul was talking to Sonofa to distance herself, Ah think she was trying ta broadcast her goodness by being all helpful and sweet. Ah do still want to here from Sonofa about what he did last night tho'."

    First off, Links: The Badly kept action spreadsheet, The Spammer Doc, and the Dead Doc. The Player List has been updated with all the Villagers roles. Secondly, My thoughts on the PM's. This game, like many of my games, was a hot mess. xxGaea originally approached me about running a game together 6 months back, and I had been wanting to run a Semi-Blackout game for a while, so pitched her the idea of a Meta Forum game. We knew going in that only the Spammer Roles would be revealed, and we wanted to do never before seen abilities (SookSiled and Temptation). We realized that this would mean that village roles would all be safe roles, and planned accordingly to not have any PM's in the game. A month ago, when I got the green light to run the game, we made a second pass through the rules to figure out if it was ready. We saw that PM's were closed, and couldn't remember why they were closed, and decided that from a flavor perspective, they should be open. That was when we added the Herowannabe role to the game. Originally it was a Droughtbringer Role, where they could talk to the dead doc, flavorwise they had everyone's contact info. Early on in the game, the PM's started to bite us hard. Players were easily proving their alignment to eachother. Roadwalker was already dead, and it looked like the others would soon follow. We realized we would have to close down the PM's, and prepared to change Elandera's and Jondesu's roles. By coincidence, Jon was killed, so we used that as an excuse, and I changed Elandera's role to Roleplayer. I did have to tell Mailliw and Rae that Elandera's role had been changed to prevent them from lynching her, since she had roleclaimed to them. Thirdly, My thoughts on the JOE's. The JOE's were intended to be both a hilarious flavor role, and a counterbalance to the Village. They were meant to slow down whichever side was winning and waste actions, and force people to guess how many Spammers there were. If they ignored, as many JOE's did, they would end up losing. For this reason, though many of you deserve to win, I cannot consider anyone with the Joe role to have won. (Lumgol especially is the only one that I would be willing to consider an actual victor) Should I have done this role differently? Yes. How should I have done this role differently? I don't know. The Dead Doc said that it would have gone better if it had been know of from the start. I disagree. I see two routes for that option. If everyone knows there are JOE's, the easiest way to win is to kill the first JOE before they can covert, and I didn't want the JOE's to basically be a third faction. The other route would be everyone cooperating, with someone volunteering to be converted, and just mapping out a convert tree from day 1, taking away some of the paranoia and the fun, and instead making it just a waste of actions. Fourthly, My thoughts on Walin. I decided to have Walin enter the game as Vashikaran. Was that a good, unbiased move on my part? I don't think so. I think it was necessary to give both the Spammers and the JOE's a fighting chance. But I don't know if I would have done it had none of the spammers been dead yet. What do you guys think? (Also, apparently The Storm guessed I had put him in as an elim) Finally, My thoughts on the Game as a whole. Like I said, this game was a hot mess, and was fun to watch. Some people were really excited about their roles, others were not. Lots of people laughed and had fun. Some people went inactive. It was a pretty average game for me. I don't think the game as it is can be rerun. Certain features certainly can. For instance, when the Spammers first got to their doc, none of them had roles. I assigned roles to the team, but they got to divvy them up as they saw fit. That is a feature that I definitely like, and will probably be keeping in some of my future games. Either way, thank you for playing in our game, and please go upvote xxGaea, Alvron, Little Wilson, and Steeldancer. All 4 of them deserve more upvotes than they got.

    Two more hours to vote. Please note that while Rollover will happen on Schedule, about 2 hours from this post, the writeup may be significantly delayed, by up to two hours. We're on closing shift today. Due to that, some of you may receive preliminary PM's, as long as they do not affect the outcome of this cycle.

    "And a good thing you didn't Snip, would have been terrible to see it go off. Did ya grab anything else though?"
  6. Jo and the Bush
    "Aha! Ah knew that Logmul was up to no good! He was hiding a crab from the rest of us! He must have been the one who ah saw entering the tent! Thanks Caccoo for helping me nab him before he could get up to no good." Joel picked up the Crab, and walked it to the tent, where he put it down next to the other one. Then he frowned. Hadn't Sonofa been planning to keep this crab safe? Sure he hadn't settled on it, but it seemed like he wanted it. "Hey, Sonofa Gun, did you try to grab a Crab? And what did Logmul try to talk to you about?"
  7. Jo and the Bush
    Joel scowled as he listened to the conversation. He wasn't really sure what to do, since so many people had pointed out flaws in his plans. He should probably thing them through better but now people were claiming that Rogiv and Snip were saboteurs? While he couldn't really remember seeing them around that much, (not that he could remember seeing much of anyone) that didn't make them saboteurs. Would they come for him next, since he didn't talk much or know any of them that well? Besides, wouldn't any saboteurs try to cozy up to everyone and talk a lot? It didn't sit right with him. Actually, that Logmul of Sdrawkcab had seemed like he wanted to tell people what to do in secret. That reeked of manipulation. Admittedly, a good soldier might well do the same thing, but getting an actual soldier to waste their only crab was a dangerous thought. "Hey folks, has Logmul reached out to any of you? I'm not sure I trust them." Mailliw772 or Lumgol
  8. Jo and the Bush
    That is correct.
  9. Jo and the Bush
    PAFO Babaji's conversions can be used on either turn. The Lynch comes before Conversion. (There is a order of actions posted.in the player list)
  10. Jo and the Bush
    23ish minutes left in the turn and cycle.

    Joel quietly got up off the log bench, and meandered into the darkness beyond the fire's light. Once he was reasonably far away, where he couldn't hear their chatter over the crackling of the fire, he relieved himself. As he headed back to the fire, he saw someone dashing out of the Supply Tent. The Quarter master maybe? He poked his head in through the entrance and scowled at the acid damage. Not much stuff left, but more supplies than people at least, so if they were fairly distributed, everyone should get something. But who was already grabbing stuff? He headed back to the Fire, where the rest of their band was sitting. No one seemed to be missing, but then again, for the life of him he couldn't name everyone around the fire. The armored lass was there, as was Logmund? Logmund sounded right. It was probably that. But a bunch of the others were mysteries to him. He should probably establish his wisdom and respectability, in order to keep the camp in order. "Oye! Which one of you just grabbed something from the Supply tent? Ah saw you run out, so don't claim you weren't in there." He scowled at the surprised soldiers, and looked from face to face, searching for guilt. "None of you want to fess up? Well then, Ah don't have the a-thor-e-tay to boss you around, but Ah do think we should divide up the supplies for safe keeping. Ah have a list of what we have left, so we should each Figure out what we are grabbing, and claim it publicly. That way we all get something, and we can figure out who is going to lie about what they are getting. For safe keeping, I am going to grab the Gun. You all know I'm a horrible shot, so I'm not going to use the thing." That was of course a lie, he wasn't going to grab the gun. He just didn't want anyone else to try to grab it, since it would probably leave a lot of them dead. He was actually going to grab a bucket of Acid. "Seriously, no one else grab the gun. At all."

  17. Jo and the Bush
    If someone took a legal action that became an illegal action, or if someone took no action, or if someone had no action to take, amd they were targeted with a redirect, then i would tell them that they were targeted.
  18. Jo and the Bush
    It's complicated, partially because we have not been entirely consistent with it. So some people have been told that they were targeted when they took nonactions and others have not.
