I spent all day yesterday rereading all 157 pages of that game, and it was truly one of the best times I've ever had on this site.
That game. So good. So heartbreaking.

Once upon a time, when we used pm for btsc on lostpedia, I definitely posted in a thread (I believe it was the shoe thread) instead of messaging my team. Grateful the host (Tokyo rose, I think) deleted it immediately for me.

It totally was the shoe thread. This was the basis for the fake slip up we tried in a game once. Crap I can’t recall what game that was. It didn’t work though. Everyone believed I had really accidentally posted in the thread instead of a PM except for orsonkidd, who we needed to believe it in order to escape being blocked. Everyone started talking like the game was over when it wasn’t.

Oh, hey- I see my name came up. That’s my cue to chime in with some word spew and player salad that’s not at all indicative of a baddie try-hard. You can trust me for realz. GTH, Daisy and LR are totes civvie. Bank on it. Welp, gotta run- RL is nuts right now, but I promise to come back before eod and catch up so I can post some super-relevant and helpful reads. Kbye!

Rule 2 seems tricky. Crumbing info allowed ? What about fake crumbing ?
Or do players have to never even suggest in posts to have any role info influencing their reads?

I’m also not too sure about the role categories in the game (civvies are town roles? Febs are wolves?)

Rule 2 is tricky. It is best to avoid it, because you might cross a line.

Civvies are town and FEBs are wolves, yes. These were using the old terms.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 11:19 am**

It's a nice rule, cranks the difficulty up for all factions.
Should make town act less transparently.

What about casing a player and adding that one believes they have the role 'Red Dead' ? That's neither role-claiming nor info-dumping, but I'd guess I'll have to avoid that too.

Sometimes, I forget that the only kind of mafia game I’ve played (other than that one time when a bunch of us played in some game with assumed identities and it was weird) is not the online mafia others play. Where all these rules are just normal here. And then I wonder why people who weren’t the products of the lostpedia strand of mafia gaming (here, revolution, hedville, piano, in addition to Lp) consistently think I’m guilty.

Anyway, fun fact: FEB stands for fucking evil bastard. It was originally used to describe a former player named diamond dog (DD) (haven’t spoken to him in years, before anyone asks, but I think he’s doing well). I don’t remember who coined it. I don’t think it was me, although I certainly embraced it. And commissioned LC to design the FEB smiley.

Modeled in part after DD, if you look close, it has a goatee.

Posted: **Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:13 pm**

@Glorfindel If we need to add a role we can, were you planning to sign up? Or if you would rather, you can join Game 4 and play with me instead. Either way would make me happy.

Just to let everyone know, I will be setting up the spreadsheet and randomizing roles and what not tonight. Role cards should go out tomorrow, Game thread will open on Saturday.

Posted: **Thu Oct 20, 2022 11:39 pm**

Fair warning now ahead of role pm send-outs that my availability on Sunday will be effectively null. We're surprising the girls with a long-awaited trip to see Disney On Ice. We bought tickets for it as part of their Christmas presents in 2019. We were supposed to go in early April of 2020.

What even my wife doesn't know (besides my participation in this game, of course) is that I'm paying the girls' patience back with interest by springing for the pre-show backstage cast experience which will involve crafts and a dance party with some of the cast. You all enjoy your mafiaing on Sunday while I soak up the Cool Dad vibes.

Posted: **Thu Oct 20, 2022 11:52 pm**

Similarly, I’m on vacation for a long weekend. Will be in the car for much of tomorrow. So will be slow posting until the evening.

Next weekend i will be on a trip and low posting. It wasn't pre planned, we decided on it three days ago

Enjoy your weekend, Gman and LoRab!

Are you running?

Also, for those of you that don’t know me, or haven’t played with me in a while, I have a super quirky schedule. Although there are no Jewish holidays coming up, so that makes things a bit easier.
