Perhaps, but only if you pay tentacles?

So things have gone rather well for me...

Which probably means that someone made off with some of your personals.

They did indeed. A checkbook, so I had to close and reopen a new account, my GPS, and some family heirloom jewelry. I put in a police report and will check the pawn shops.

This is the first weekend that I've had totally free in 6 months. I predict a lot of reading and netflix in my future.

wooo, 6 months of packed weekends would drive me up the wall

[Tangrowth]

Right now there are exactly 132,000 posts in the Museum of Mafioso subforum. Pretty neat.

It had to be done, sug. A stagant forum is a ...well, stagnant forum.

I keep my jeep with so much shit that if you look in it you cant see anything worth stealing inside of it. Like just random shit that is worth nothing in terms of money. I have a fucking Guitar Hero 2 controller in there. Why? I dunno.

Plus I would feel bad for anybody trying to sort through the mess in my Jeep just to make like $30 at a pawnshop. Probably helps that I never have to cart around anybody but myself.

I was surprised that someone bothered with mine too! My house is clutter-free and my office is orderly, so the Mazda ends up the dumping ground for all the miscellany.

You should get a garage or an attic.

Hosting a 58 player game is hard.

But it's so fun.

I should be studying yet I keep looking at role spreadhseets and answering questions at BTSCs.

That would be ideal. I have an outdoor utility closet, but I can't lock it and it's uncooled, so there are only certain things I can put out there that won't be stolen or ruined by the heat and humidity.

Sorry I've missed your game, only recently have I gotten back into San Antonio and into things here once again. Best of luck with running it!

Last family reunion.

[XthAtGAm3RGuYX]

Running my Ace Attorney thing here is probably the last mafia thing I do. Pretty sure I'm done with mafia for a very long time if not entirely.

[Canucklehead]

Last family reunion.

I love this video just so, so much (it made the rounds on another site I frequent yesterday). Not only is there adorable bear family holiday action, but there's also this super awesome distillation of this awesome little human family in their comments. It's all so hilarious and sweet and very real and holy shit that Mom is just the best. And damn! Those kids cannot countenance the notion of sharing their belongings. It's priceless and perfect.



And hot dog, but those bears be filthy!

My break was three years. I didn't know if I would come back. Get it entirely. Take the break you need, I hope you find your way back.

[S~V~S]

My break was over a year. Sometimes the drama, lol. Do what you have to do for yourself.

[XthAtGAm3RGuYX]

I mean I like the games, and I'm normally excited to start one, but lately around day 3 or so they end up feeling like a colossal fucking waste of my time. It didnt used to be like that. As the current king of Salt, this annoys me greatly.

Anyway, I've been getting really into Jpop lately for no discernable reason. For some reason when summer starts to go away I turn into a giant fucking weeaboo

Have a vocaloid. God knows I cant find a Miku song on youtube without a music video from Project Diva accompanying it

I'm not hosting it alome though (there's another guy). And there are about 10 inactive players.

It's still the most tiring mafia related thing I've ever done. It's not just the player number, we made the game incredibly complicated. There are 3 mafias with individual faction bonuses that needed to observed at all the time, one million roles with ability redirects, a lot of roles with abilities that work on RNG, roles that can doctor write-ups, and for some reason we also thought it would be a good idea to add a guessing game (guess which role was made by me or by the other guy), so we need to keep track of that too.

Me head hurts, my arm hurts, and it's still Night 3.

But it's SO GODAMN FUN.

I'm never hosting a game this size again in my life, though.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

I mean, check this godfather role the other host made (it already flipped so it's okay to show it here):

The Anti-Monitor

[Life Shell] : The Anti-Monitor is bulletproof and can survive a lynch. If hit by a superkill or a lynch, his shell will be destroyed in his stead, leaving him defenseless. He can regain his shell by personally faction killing two regular roles or one super role, via [Energy Absorption(passive)].

[Anti-Verse(passive)] : All affiliation investigations, role investigations, lie detects, watching and tracking abilities used on the Anti-Monitor turn up the opposite. For role investigations, a random town role will be chosen. For watchers and trackers, it will say that he was targeted by those he targeted and targeted those that targeted him(if he wasn't targeted at all, a tracker would receive a result saying he didn't target anyone).

[Energy Absorption(passive)] : If the Anti-Monitor performs the faction kill, he will make the target generic prior to the attack hitting, rendering all passive abilities null and keeping them from using any active abilities. For every two regular roles or one super role he has killed he can restore a shot of [Power Distribution]. For every four regular or two supers he can restore a shot of [The Anti-Verse(active).

[Energy Absorption(active)]: The Anti-Monitor can make a player generic for a phase once per cycle.

[Power Distribution] : The Anti-Monitor can power-up one of his faction, doubling the strength of their abilities(minus one-shots) for a cycle. The power is too much to handle however, rendering the member generic for a cycle afterwards. Two-shot

[The Anti-Verse(active)] : Sending the game into the Anti-Verse for a phase, the Anti-Monitor makes it so that all regular positive abilities will become negative and all regular negative abilities positive for a phase. This ability does not affect his own faction or limited use abilities(one-shots, two-shots, etc) from roles outside his faction. One-shot.

What is going on with my caps lock on Win10!! Everytime I have several windows open and type in one window, hitting caps (to, you know, capitalize) jumps me on the second window.

Dear Kahuna Almighty! I thought we ran complicated games here, but that is one of 58 roles? You are a brave man, good sir.

[Dragon D. Luffy]

That's supposed to be the strongest member of one of the factions, so most roles are simple than that. But 2-4 abilities is the standard for roles.

No, you guys don't run complicated here. Your mechanics are pretty simple most of the time.

Though I like how Syndicate likes to have global game mechanics that give the whole game a flavor, instead of just focusing on abilities (example: the money game from economics or the guess who game).

I've actually been really confused at how Bass and MP's Naruto game is going to work in that respect. Mainly the chakra mechanic, and if it regenerates or anything.

Dynamics

Instead of a strict NK/role power system, to better reflect the theme and try something unique, the Health and Chakra system is adapted:

• Health can only be affected by damage from other players' night actions. The health indicated for each character is the starting amount as well as the maximum. Once a player reaches 0 health, they die.

• Lynches occur during day periods as normal. Regardless of the amount of health one has, typically a lynch will still flat out kill any player, with the usual mafia game exceptions.

• Chakra determines what night actions one can currently choose to utilize. The chakra indicated for each character is the starting amount as well as the maximum. The parentheses in correspondence with each jutsu specify the amount of chakra that must be spent to execute that move.

• Multiple jutsu can be used in one night, so long as the chakra required for the jutsu is available.

• Chakra is replenished at the end of every day period. The replenishment rate is equal to a combination of a flat rate specific to your character plus or minus quality and quantity of posts during the previous night/day cycle. This is intended to reward players for contributing and punish those for failing to do so, even if not on an extreme scale.

Anybody watching the Little League World Series? The Mid-Atlantic team (Red Land) is from my neck of the woods! In past years, it's been fun cheering on teams from PA that made the LLWS but to have a team from 20 minutes away in the mix is pretty cool.

I've never watched the LLWS, but that's awesome. Oregon would never have a team in such a position.

Actually, there was a team from Oregon in the tourney but they lost their first two games.

Red Land won again tonight, putting them in the US Championship game! Seriously, this is the only time I think I've ever been this excited about baseball.

I'm going to go insane. In File Explorer or Total Commander, when I try to name a new folder or name a file, activating caps highlights the whole goddamn text (and makes me lose the text by hitting a letter afterwards) or acts like enter and closes the editing box. WTF. Except for changing the language bar hot keys (using Shift to capitalize, which is a pain in the ass, after being used to use the caps), I can't find anything in the settings to help. I also can't find anything on the internet, although they do have articles on the caps being screwy, but for a different reason.

That is really weird. I wondered too if it was a language bar issue but I've never used Win10 so I dunno really. I don't know why the key would act differently in different times unless there is a problem with the keyboard itself.
