You all played your part of getting the victory!

As you all know or may not know rl has been really hard. I have been scarce and do not have time to make my final host post showing all actions and etc.
I will eventually do it just not right now.

If you have a question about how something worked just ask in the thread and I will answer what I can now and will answer the rest at another time (not today)

Sorry my end lagged but family means more to me than life itself. I did really enjoy hosting this game and it was fun watching you all try and figure out how and why the rotations happened.
*hint* they were all related to the night polls.

Riding the storm out

There could have very well been a death so those left might have a bit to eat, but the storm that had never eased doubled down.

No one was eaten bc no one left the safety of their camp just as Jacob had told everyone to do.

It is night 7

Lynch ends in a little over 3 hours.

If you don't vote the randomizer will.

I need to be found on an island in the Dark Territory

No one ever seems to give BR any breaks. When she wasn't hacking up human to feed her family she was chopping wood. She wanted to avoid the disaster that Wasatch and Freemont have already provided.

But alas it was not meant to be. Black Rock has been killed.

All BTSC for Possible Dinners is over

It is now Day 7 it will last for 24 hours, a random rotation is occurring now.

Ty one on for me

Poor Pat!!

Oooopsss wrong Pat!

But Ty was a Pat - Patrick Dolan

It is now Night 6?

A rotation should have happened - sorry when I thought I had done it somehow those PM's were sent to drafts - idk how I even did it.

In your head, In your head

Zomberella had given up she did not feel like even trying any longer. Wasatch gladly obliged.

Zomberella has been frozen solid it is now day 6

it may only last 24 hours if the votes are done early enough.

sorry for the sucky death post Zomberella

Hungry eyes

No one was starving the way Hunger had tried. He was just making plans to starve another when he was banished from the camps with a firm final kick from Jacob.

Long Con has been eaten for Lunch.

It is now Night 5.

A mini rotation has occurred.

Can't you hear me knocking?

FZ. had grown quite weary. Sarah had promised to save her family a piece of Russtifinko. She had been loathe to go get it. Her only regret was that no one had listened to her pleas to bring it to her.

She bundled up as best she could but she was still quite exposed. The sudden snow squall had come over them shortly before noon and the inches had turned to feet. She struggled with every step.

Hunger was getting the best of her making her dizzy. In turn it made Hunger smile.
Wasatch just kept a hold of the storm creating a snow blind situation for her. Wasatch laughed.

Hunger and Wasatch worked on FZ. for better than three hours before she finally succumbed to their wills. She took in her last breath and nothing came out.

Hunger looked up at Wasatch and said "I had this bro."
Wasatch said "I know but I wanted to help."
Together they admired their handy work until she was completely buried in the storm.

FZ. was killed by Hunger and Wasatch.

It is now day 5.

A partial Rotation has occurred. The results will not take effect until the end of Day 5.

An entire Rotation has occurred.

I wish my brother George was here

George Donner was tired. He really had grown quite tired of cutting a new trail only to blocked by weather and now hunger.
George was not a quitter though. He decided to try and cut the trail and get over the mountain to California and bring help back.

He dug and and trudged through the snow for several hours. He was so cold. He had brought flint to make a fire all he needed was something to burn. Unfortunately when he started looking around there was no trees or ANYTHING around to burn - except his pack. He was just cold enough to do it. He tucked himself between some rocks and used the flint and caught his pack on fire. It was a smoky fire but a warm one. He soon fell asleep.

George would never wake up. The toxic fumes from burning his pack had knocked him unconscious. He never moved and when the fire went out he froze to death where he had lain down.

Russtifinko was George Donner and has been Lunched. It is now Night 4

FZ. wrote: MP, MM and Tricks were all civvies.

The poll has been put up.

A rotation is imminent.

Another one bites the dust

Nijuukyugou was over-joyed when she found an old horse hide. The hair had been burnt then scraped off already so she had been boiling it down to the semi-edible goop, paste she had grown used to before. Before they had started eating her friends. She had even shared her portion of meat she had gotten from the body of fingersplints knowing she had the hide.

Freemont pass was quite displeased with her find. In fact he was going to make sure she would not eat her goopy, pastey old horse hide. He would also make sure she would be found and eaten by the others.

His icy claw reached inside of Ni's tent and pulled her feet first outside. Then proceeded to slam her body about like The Hulk had done to Loki in the Avengers. Ni was a pile of broken, splintered bones. Freemont, pleased with himself, walked away with a skip in his step and a song in his heart.

Nijuukyugou has been killed by Unforeseen Forces.

It is now Day 4 and time to find some Lunch.

Got a friend in crisis will make poll later

Thanks for your patience <3
A Full Rotation has been completed.

Poor James Reed could not catch a break to save his life. He really was just trying to help and it had backfired. Someone had taken notice----

Freemont Pass decided that what every wanted was not necessarily what they needed. He knew exactly what they needed, more suffering. He made sure James Reed would not find his way back to camp. Instead he would be sliced up into nice James Reed sammichs, while his own family drooled at the prospect of meat - no matter who it was.

fingersplints has been sliced up for Lunch she was James Reed and had the Civ Ninja ability when she was ate up. Which made the Host very sad to report.

It is now Night 3.

The poll will not have an end time because I will want to dial it back to 7;00PM EST. So when rotation has been completed you will have to get your PM's to me by Friday February 14, 6:00PM EST.

First i just want to thank you all for playing. I do hope you are having fun in the game.

But - things are just going to have to be different this rotation bc I have to go to my Math Guru to get my taxes done at 6 PM EST. I think I can do the Lunch Post before I leave but the rotation will not occur until I drive home to my spreadsheet.

I do hope you all understand and do not mind a slight wait for the rotation. I really do try very hard to do my Hosty stuff in a timely manner bc I know as a player I hate the waiting.
This will be a one time occurrence. <3

The storm had moved in no one had cared. It was unlike anything that had yet been seen.
They will care now.

A rotation has begun.

July Morning

Peggy Breen had started a facination with James Reed. She was singing softly when she spied him walking through the woods.She hid behind a shubbery that was neither too large or too small. She was lost to her own thoughts singing to herself. Too bad she was hiding from him as he was hunting for food.

James heard a branch snap and turned and shot Peggy right between the eyes.
when he realized what he had done his only thought was too bad she took the shot to head now there would no brains to make a stew out of.

He walked in the direction of his camp to let his family know what had happened.

MovingPictures has been killed by James Reed.
It is still Day 3 and you still have time left for a proper Lunch.

FZ. wrote:Roxy, is it possible for civvie roles to become bad?

No.

Fate and Destiny

Ricochet was hungry!
He was outside where he had buried his human meat allotment. He had eaten the liver and now he would cook the kidneys down for a sort of stew. It had stopped snowing when he reached the snowbank where he had buried his "meat". He started digging and digging. He soon grew frantic. He could not find the meat he had buried. He kept digging , all over the area but it seemed to avail. In the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains he died from the elements. From his constant struggle to feed himself and to just live. He was not smiling when they stumbled upon his corpse the next morning looking for wood he was still holding a handful of snow. They would not be hungry tonight.

Jacob llamaDonner had been trying to find his way back to his camp by the lake. He had gotten lost for a few days he was just about to give into his thirst and hunger when he seen a flickering light. Finally he had found something.....someone had to be keeping that fire burning he thought to himself.
Antonio greeted him warmly before he could even get his pack off. Both men continued on to the encampment. Laughing and smiling.

James Reed was disappointed for some reason and Hunger looked on in sadness at their sheer dumb luck.

A storm is gathering strength on the horizon signaling danger - no one seemed to notice.

Ricochet has been killed by Wasatch Mountains.
thellama73 was found and saved by Antonio.

It is now Day 3. You have 48 hours to find and eat Lunch, btw thellama73 is NOT on the menu.

The Long Walk

It had been some time since the wagons with their pathetic people and their meager supplies had passed. He was growing hotter and drier and thought of getting away. Nobody wanted to walk on his trails or admire his stark beauty. He sighed and was cast away with the sunset. No one would miss him he thought to himself.

Triceratopzeuhl has been eaten for Lunch. He was The Great Salt Lake Desert.

It is now Night 2 you have until 6:11 PM EST to PM me your night actions.

The Rotation is complete.

I can't take it! Not another day! Another day...

Levinah had many a mouth to feed. Epi's arms were not enough! She had decided to take matters into her own hands.

Jacob Donner was by the lake trying to break through the ice and drop a net down into the water to try and catch anything. Anything so he would not have to face eating Metalmarsh's heart.

Levinah swooped into action with her ax. She was not a strong woman but by the seventh or eigth blow she had completely cut off Jacob's head. It is when she realized in her haste to find more meat she had taken out a friend.

"No use crying over spilt blood" she hurriedly cut his legs off and put them and his head in her canvas tote bag and covered his body with snow.

Llama has been killed on accident by Levinah Murphy. He was Jacob Donner.

It is still day and you have about 3 hours until lynch ends and rotation is over.

Last clarification on this Rotation - it will not become active until the end of the day. You are still who you are until the end of Day 2.

FYI - you guys are making me giggle uncontrollably.

A rotation has begun. You will have everything you need or need to know by the end of Day 2.

FZ. wrote:Roxy, you said we can share our role but not the powers. So if someone was a Donner he can say that but not which Donner? Or they can say which and then if there's a secret as well, they can't share that?
Also, can you say who was on your BTSC before? I assume you can, since if we can all say our roles, we can know who was with us. okay, stupid question. But I want to make sure I understood

linki: I thought that if the chat room was cleared, it means at least some of the people in it, changed roles.

Yes you may say which Donner (though this may not always be wise), but not what ability you had at the time. Ofc you may never tell secrets.
Yes you may say who was in your BTSC in the past though, like above, in some instances I am not sure how wise this will be.

LC - The rotations are done by a pre-determined order and going to be very tricksy to predict. I do not intend to change it as it was a lot of work to put together. I say give it your best shot LC in fact I welcome it.

SVS - I am as mysterious as I ever was or will be The roles on the first page will never be updated. Those should now be considered your "guideline" as to what roles and abilities are in the game rotating about.

You will be told when a rotation has begun speaking of which......

Roxy, what would happen in the event of a lynch vote tie?

If there is a tie then I random the outcome - just like splints explained.

I think I played the game on the piano too, so I wish I could help, but I can't think of anything useful atm
Let me think about this.

I have given this careful consideration and I say - Yes!
Yes you may share what previous role(s) you have been - BUT - not what abilities you had(ve).

FZ. wrote:I just want to address the info dumping issue. The only thing that I said that could be considered as something of the sort is saying that Epi wasn't on my team. Had I just said that the probability of him being a baddie was higher for me because he wasn't a Donner, and then voted for him, would you not know he's not on my team?
The only way people would vote for someone on their team, is if they were baddies and then they'd probably move that vote before the actual deadline. So I am now convinced I didn't info dump, and I take my apology back.
And people voting for those who allegedly info dumped are not looking very civvie like in my eyes. *eyes* llama
The rules indicate that normal mafia rules apply. Role-outing is always against the rules, but some hosts don't state that infodumping is against the rules (ie. see GoC rules), so it is unclear if that is considered normal mafia rules or not.

So to solve that problem, Roxy, is infodumping permitted?
Hey Roxy, could I get an answer here pretty please?

I consider it in bad form - though I have been guilty of it in GoC. Lets just say for me normal mafia rules of etiquette state that info dumping is as bad as role outing. And in GoC I was just a fool with info.

The first cut is the deepest

The storm had been quite harsh but George was not well enough to try and continue through the pass to California. Tamsen refused to leave his side. And now look what happened The Weather had, had its way with her.

"If my boundary stops here,
I have daughters to draw new maps on the world
they will draw the lines of my face, they will draw with my gestures my voice
they will speak my words thinking they have invented them.

They will invent them, they will invent me,
I will be planted again and again,
I will wake in the eyes of their children's children
they will speak my words."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hunger tried to help Weather while it had settled into the Pass to make sure the Donner Party got no further but The Hunger can't be everywhere at once and Weather was gone just as fast as it had arrived. Fortunately for The Hunger Weather had stuck around long enough to make the trail impassable.

Metalmarsh was Tamsen Donner
Epignosis was Weather you have 48 hours to find who wanted fresh meat.

Let me think about this.

FZ. wrote:Roxy, are there more secret to the roles that we are in the dark about, or are the roles exactly as described in the thread?

Funny you should ask, every game I have ever hosted had some roles with secret - secrets. Some may be unknown to the player with the role until a certain chain of events takes place. That is all I will say.

We are all ok

"They arrived at what proved to be the first of the main ridge, and camped at the foot of what is now called Donner Lake, It was raining when they stopped, but before morning there was some snow on the ground, they started at daylight, but soon found that the snow increased in depth as they advanced, and after traveling about two miles, it was so deep that the cattle could not go no further and to make matters worse another storm began, so they retraced their steps to the camp of the night before at the lake."

There has been no lunch everyone was too busy preparing their camp for the snow storm.

There has been no rotation. You have 23 hours to get your PM's to me.

Roxy wrote:Rules -

This game is quite different unless you played my Haunted House on The Piano Hill game.

The roles first listed are roles that are in the game.
The abilities listed with those roles are in the game.
Here is where it gets tricksy,
The roles and/or abilities change nightly according to a pre-determined schedule.
However, if you are a Possible Dinner and only abilities change then you will still have a Possible Dinner ability.
If roles change then the abilities that are currently with that role change along with it.
So one day you could just be a Possible Dinner waiting to be eaten then the next you could be Killing or Starving someone to death.
Once an ability has been killed or lunched with a role it will remain out of rotation for the duration of the game.
There will be chances to stop the rotation at different intervals throughout the game but there is also a chance that they may never be stopped.

Otherwise all normal game rules apply.
I will be posting in Dead Red so if you are dead post in Purple or Pink please.
If you have a problem or something is making the game un-fun please contact Spacedaisy as she will be your Game Moderator <3 and is expert at such matters.
My say so is final.

Just a friendly Host reminder

Effective immediately fingersplints is replacing Dom. offc you may not lynch her today or NK her Night 1.
Please someone offer her a piece of yourself as she is quite hungry.

This is a good point, and I believe that would be helpful, yes. Also, if someone can take a screenshot of the poll if possible right as it ends, that'd be great, but I know that's a lot to ask, so at the least, everyone should bold their final votes.

On that note, I don't recall if this was asked...

Rox: Are votes changeable this game or final upon casting? Thanks.
I just voted and they appear to be changeable.

What the Newt/Aardvark/Marmot said

Also page one now tells win conditions

In the beginning it was easy. Just like they said it would be.

But then, oh then, They had arrived about a week late to travel with Hastings' party, and on his suggestion pioneered an alternate route to avoid Weber Canyon. The road building required through the Wasatch Mountains and the grueling Great Salt Lake Desert delayed them. When they had arrived at the California Trail, they were delayed about a month. The party arrived at the now Donner Pass just as an early winter storm closed it. People were getting quite hungry and all the animals had already been eaten. They were now deciding who would be lunch George hugged Elizabeth to keep her safe while Weather and Hunger were watching silently Hunger hugged Weather and said "Won't be long now"

You have 48 hours to eat your lunch!

Epi has won by a landslide in a solo victory!
Congrats Epi!

S~V~S wrote:Rox~ does wagon train mean any player, or does it mean BTS group?

Cause iirc, the RL Donner party split up into several trains. So that is a plausible interpretation.

Only those in his BTSC "wagon train" sorry if this is all confusing - hopefully it will find its groove by Day 2 or so

As night draws down everyone gathers around the Donner's tent.
Mr Donner clears his throat "Everyone get your nights rest - we leave at dawn!"
With that everyone returned to their own tents and turned in for the night. There were many a dream about the adventure and riches that awaited them on their upcoming journey.

Weather and Hunger smiled at each other and spoke "and so it begins!" they laughed themselves to sleep.

This will considered an even night for all intents and purposes - no kill powers can be used all other powers will be in play this night.

WARNING!!
I will not be making a poll thread you will have to track votes yourselves this game!
Day 0 ends very shortly-----

MovingPictures07 wrote:Rox, another question, sorry. Just so I understand the rules correctly, since they are unconventional... and to help understanding of our three resident new mafia players as well:

Is it possible to be a civilian one cycle and a baddie the next? I presume if a player were to die (by lynch or night kill) that the player would die with whatever ability and alignment he or she had at that time?

But otherwise, as long as a player continues living, it is always possible that your role ability and/or alignment could switch?

Yes it is possible to be a baddie Day 5 then a civvie Day 6. (<< just an example)
And yes, when someone is lunched or night killed then whatever role and ability they have goes with them.
It is possible they could continue to change all game but its also possible they won't.
You cannot kill yourself llama lol
