It's the name of a famous ship in One Piece

OJ, but I branched out immediately thanks to DDL and another OJ-er.
Has Oro Jackson ever had either A) an OJ Simpson Trial themed game, or B) an Orange Juice themed game?

Never

You kind of need that looming deadline to make people productive and work together lol.
That sounds like a good idea, to cap it at some number of days. Our games would last eons without that I think.

Even with a cap, imagine a 5 days phase lol

Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2019 12:59 pm I think the discussion should be more than just about deadline times: the complaints in this game were about the flurry of activity around the deadline contributing to the feeling of being lost. I think this has more to do with the pacing of a game rather than its scheduling.
Perhaps trying a game with the hammer voting that speedchuck mentioned or implementing an x-number of times someone is allowed to change their vote type of rule could try to help us find balance so people don't always feel overwhelmed at end of day. Just a couple thoughts. The latter is harder to implement if it's a crazy number, but something like 2-3 vote changes a day phase could work.
I'm a bit hesitant to implement hammer voting just as a means to avoid this issue. Hammer voting is an entirely different format than deadline voting and changes a lot of things. That's not to say we can't implement it. The more variety we have in our games, the more fresh things will be.

Limiting the number of vote changes would also be an interesting tweak. My only concern would be enforcement of the rule (players don't always announce their votes, and so hosts/other players do not always see them), but I'm sure it could be managed. We'd just have to make sure it's emphasized.
I've been considering running a special game in the pure hammer format -- no deadlines exist at all, and a day cannot end until a hammer is reached. Maybe if people like that, it can become a unique game type.

Please don't. It's absolute hell

Hello ladies.

Mac: Being mafia is so easy.
Jack: Yeah, townies are dumb.
Jack, honestly I think this is rude. We aren't calling you stupid for getting lynched so early and I would appreciate it if you didn't do it either. The game is over, it is what it is, there is no reason to call people dumb.
I think he's just joking, and mostly making fun of himself and Mac for thinking that'd be an easy win then getting taken out so quickly.
Ok, I hope so because I never thought Jack was mean.

He's actually very mean. I've seen him kick dogs

Here's what you should be doing

Stop feeling bad dunya lol. You played to win, and you played a great game.

I'm sure they'd have done the same to you in that situation.

Good game baddies though. Amazing come-back.

Can someone start hosting Burglaries? Preferably in the very early am Australia time. Thanks

Sorry, y’all - it’s been such a long time since I last played that I’m not used to checking or thinking about checking the thread.
Looking through the posts of the people in the poll, this was the only thing that pinged me. Reads like an attempt to redirect to a mislynch. [VOTE: nijuukyugou] aubergine
This looks more opportunistic post-flip.

It actually make no sense whatsoever, the whole attempt at redirect to a mislynch lol

No worries. This first one is about Niju, it's why I wasn't sold on lynching her over the others.

My initial tone read on her, and the whole context of the Mac's vote with him already being in a big lead kind of shoots down most of the suspicions against her. You'll have to move goal-posts and say she was avoiding her teammate lynch to not be accused of bussing if you want to see suspicions there.

I don't know it felt too easy lol.

This is Luna,

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 6:42 pm Luna's surge of activity and most of what she's been saying has been unimpressive. She was making absolutely no sense and I was going crazy not being able to posts and question her lol. I don't like how she had her hand in almost every conversation going on at the start of the phase while she adding almost nothing to them. She was just there trying to make her presence remarked and get ahead of the restricted lynch poll.

The whole "Speedchuck is 95% civ" was lame, and I don't see civ motivations behind it.

This is Leetic,

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 6:44 pm Leetic is long gone past town apathy. He's in lurking territory around and his posts aren't random, they're calculated. There is absolutely nothing genuine about him unlike the other inactives, namely Niju and Never.

Feels like a baddie that came in late and is having trouble keeping up with the energy. A shady dude lol.

Oh I see. Thanks for explaining. Also, leetic is a "she"? I've been under the wrong impression all this time.

I'm referring to Niju in that post.

His rate of contribution had been tailing off for a while, and that was generating increased suspicion alongside interactive bits. His earliest civilian credit had faded. Indeed, he was reverting into the form of Guy Who Posts Gifs.

So I decided he'd make a nice target for my weird ability. In past games, there have been instances where civilians have been hit with some kind of posting restriction, and during that period they operated in a manner that made their authenticity more clear. Some people will use any method they can come up with to communicate effectively instead of using the excuse to just piss off from the game for a day. So I wanted to see how nova would respond to that challenge. How has he performed?

I will issue a positive grade, though with a minor groan. He has found ways to communicate within the bounds of his restriction, and indeed he has engaged in almost "cheating" activities (no gripe, I've done the same in his position) that don't really apply to the restriction but may not violate it either -- emojis, raw quotes, etc. He's been generally active as much as anyone during the phase and seems to be trying to make the best of it.

Minor groan: the emojis were shite and offer less tangible communication than the other methods he's used. So those sucked. He hasn't wholly relied upon them though so whatever.
meh.

really flat meh that you got all that from nova.
