if we skip a night phase does that mean I will die earlier, later or what if I'm trying to understand this accuratelyTimsup2nothin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:18 pmI just read your ISO and still don't understand this power you have.
If you activate...what...we get to EoD, do our thing and chop someone, and then boom we are back at SoD2 and do it again?
This sounds effectively like just skipping a night phase...which is cool since nights are basically bad times for town.

He says he's going to melt. By the sounds of the time role, it'll delay their death

no, it's representing the perspective that tim thinks he presents such a threat to wolves by continuing living that wolves will have to kill jpic, who can indefinitely protect timDaisyCloud wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:34 pmis this a slip?Timsup2nothin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:12 pmI'm doing my best to get the wolves to kill you mate, Just keep jailing me.

I have multiple times so I'm honestly wondering if someone has done something to prevent it and how if not how it would work with Beeboy's claimed role here.iaafr wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:28 pmi dont recall your death being planned?WerewolfHunter wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:23 pmif we skip a night phase does that mean I will die earlier, later or what if I'm trying to understand this accuratelyTimsup2nothin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:18 pmI just read your ISO and still don't understand this power you have.

someone put them in a freezer, cooler, ice chest or something unless you think an ice cream sandwich is a scum role.
if you do please let me know so I can yeet you. ice cream sandwiches are wonderful and nothing nefarious about the sweet tasty treat. perfect on any day.

Since I didn't get an answer does this look like I have the gist of this?
Has anything else of note happened this morning?
How did you miss the ice cream sandwich claim?
Thanks for interpreting what was definitely NOT a 'slip' before it got out of hand.

He claimed it, if you understand the gifs. I'm not sure I totally believe his claim. It could be something closely related and less town friendly...but if it is then he is leashed, at least for the moment.

I am very bad at noticing all posts.
If I activate it we go back to SoD2, yes.

Re: U-Pick Anything Volume 2 Game Thread (Day 2 - Day Poo)
We used to ride this same train all the time. I can’t believe I’m back after all these years.
I sat still and alone. Out in the darkness, past the window, I could make out trees. Their branches were bare, other than a dusting of snow. In the spring time this place would be beautiful, full of life. Leaves and flowers everywhere, a dim sunset over the ocean, and all the great smells of nature. Maybe there would be more people on the train, a family with their kids. They could be here after a long day at the beach taking the train back home into the city. Old friends, just for a moment, catching up before returning to their daily lives. Maybe I’d be here, humming along to my favourite song, happy to hear myself and the ringing making music. Sometimes I think back and miss those times.
Soon, though, the memories are taken over by a dark, vitriolic loathing. I hate this place. I’m reminded of where I am. I’m on a bench, on a train. The hum of the engine vibrates through me. It vibrates through my seat, and through the carriage floor. I can feel the wheels on the track, buzzing. It’s cold outside. Snow is shaken off branches, carried by the wind. The trees rattle, their naked branches flying. I feel a pit in my stomach, which might have to do with missing dinner.
I shouldn’t have come back here.
Just past the trees is the ocean. I know somewhere out there is my home. It’s warm there. Cleo is probably resting, curled up on his favourite pillow. You can’t get a fireplace built into an apartment, but the space heater is enough. Laying in bed, I can hear it gently rattle at night. I can feel Cleo
laying beside me, me wrapped in my favourite blanket. I sip my coffee and read my book.
Instead, I’m on this train.
Out the window in the other direction there is a metal wire fence. It’s a sad, flimsy thing. It shakes in the wind, clanging against itself. The city is too far away for anyone to really hear it. Even at night there should still be cars roaming the streets, people laughing and having fun. With only a week until Christmas, stores will be crowded. The cold offset by that feeling. Outside a department store just off the main street, a person with a bell around their neck might be waiting. The gold bell she wears will chime a sound that will blend in with the rest of the holiday noise. Her sensitive ears will be cold if she doesn’t dress for the weather, but that’s okay. No one will pay attention to her, no matter what’s happening. She’s just a “catgirl”. No one cares about us.
But that isn’t me anymore. I’m on this train. Instead of a bell, I have papers, a French passport. It’s been years since I’ve been back here. In a couple minutes the train will begin to slow to a stop. The rushing air will settle around us, and we will be told to grab our bags and depart. I’ll grab my things, cover my ears, and leave the train. I’ll be stopped. Asked where my “owner” is, where my bell is, why I’m covering my ears. They might take me aside, try to scare me. They’ll call me a stray, say they’re calling the CE to take me away.
But I’m a French citizen now. I’m a person. They can’t treat me like that, but they will. It’s inevitable. Despite that, I grab my bags and depart.

The trees rattle, their naked branches flying. I feel a pit in my stomach, which might have to do with missing dinner.
I shouldn’t have come back here.
Just past the trees is the ocean. I know somewhere out there is my home. It’s warm there. Cleo is probably resting, curled up on his favourite pillow. You can’t get a fireplace built into an apartment, but the space heater is enough. Laying in bed, I can hear it gently rattle at night. I can feel Cleo
laying beside me, me wrapped in my favourite blanket. I sip my coffee and read my book.
Instead, I’m on this train.
Out the window in the other direction there is a metal wire fence. It’s a sad, flimsy thing. It shakes in the wind, clanging against itself. The city is too far away for anyone to really hear it. Even at night there should still be cars roaming the streets, people laughing and having fun. With only a week until Christmas, stores will be crowded. The cold offset by that feeling. Outside a department store just off the main street, a person with a bell around their neck might be waiting. The gold bell she wears will chime a sound that will blend in with the rest of the holiday noise. Her sensitive ears will be cold if she doesn’t dress for the weather, but that’s okay. No one will pay attention to her, no matter what’s happening. She’s just a “catgirl”. No one cares about us.
But that isn’t me anymore. I’m on this train. Instead of a bell, I have papers, a French passport. It’s been years since I’ve been back here. In a couple minutes the train will begin to slow to a stop. The rushing air will settle around us, and we will be told to grab our bags and depart. I’ll grab my things, cover my ears, and leave the train. I’ll be stopped. Asked where my “owner” is, where my bell is, why I’m covering my ears. They might take me aside, try to scare me. They’ll call me a stray, say they’re calling the CE to take me away.
But I’m a French citizen now. I’m a person. They can’t treat me like that, but they will. It’s inevitable. Despite that, I grab my bags and depart.

yeah same, but then i remember ace making a jk and I realized it was a person but brain fog so I didn't remember who then forgot about it thinking it as some fun time in the game bacause I just was skim reading at the time to get caught up and not an actual claim, then realized it was a claim, but thought it was a jk/fake claimLong Con wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:50 pmI thought people were using being Frozen as a term to indicate inactivity or something.iaafr wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:48 pmyes beeboys claiming we're going to skip n2 and basically go straight to day due to his roleTimsup2nothin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 2:45 pm Since I didn't get an answer does this look like I have the gist of this?
Has anything else of note happened this morning?
How did you miss the ice cream sandwich claim?
i dont believe anything else of note has happened
ive seen the claim but somehow didnt process the melting part of it. i mean i saw people offhandedly talking about freezing and melting but i never saw a post that spelled out that wwh was just going to die on a timer.
