Ugh. Consider yourself kvetched at, [mention]G-Man[/mention]

Hit the Major Third makes me think of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, while Will You Become More makes me want to say "Go Beyond - Pluuuuuus ULTRA!"

I'm not sure either of those are helpful thoughts.

7. No reproducing the host PMs in thread..... Or in Map BTSC!

@Black Rock @Long Con

Okay, so no PMs can be reproduced in thread. But does that mean we can roleclaim and infodump in both the thread and in BTSC as long as we don't copy/paste or screenshot host PMs?

still all confuzzled about this

Haha I also thought of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah for the Major Third -

I liked that ave plus I'm taking my kids to music lessons tonight so bam , picked it.

i voted "will you become more" because it's either a rhetorical question with a motivating connotation or a question as to whether i'm going to get super fat this christmas in which case the answer is yes

i won't be buddied this time, punk.

it's also nice that the poll option is a question, you don't get to choose a question very often

hey guys sorry. i can't really be active today or probably this weekend. voting tribunal

Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 11:18 am I have made votes in the poll changeable in order to unlock it, hopefully.

Please do not change your vote.

Please state your vote in the thread as well as the poll.

I had not read anything when I voted, so I missed this.
I voted for [VOTE: Each Chosen Option Enhanced] aubergine because that sounds chaotic.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 6:37 pm Somebody talk to me about times nonsensical looking poll options helped or harmed your faction.

I remember lots of “oh, the cubs should do this” discussions but I’ve never looked back to see if those statements were correct.

The Cubs don't have many holes in the roster, though some pitching inconsistencies and untimely slumps in the lineup cost them this year. If anything, they just needed to shake up the coaching staff, which they've already done. Maybe a few new pieces in the bullpen could help as well, but that's the case for every team. And they've been linked to Bryce Harper a few times, which I'm sure would be interesting. They'd probably have to move some money off the books to make that happen though. I don't see anyone taking on Heyward's contract.

Two mechanics questions, one of which INH has kind of already asked about:

1. What is the policy on roleclaiming/info-dumping in this game, either in the thread or in BTSC?
2. Will votes be changeable or unchangeable?

Each Chosen Option Enhanced sounds good to me. Grab a little bit of everything at the buffet table knowmsayin.

Based on what others were saying about what it might mean it sounded like it would benefit us.

Yeah, you can roleclaim and infodump. We're limiting discussing map coordinates for balance reasons.

Votes will be changeable by default in lynches, subject to mad whims.

This statement is accurate as well.

I'm going to be voting DDL tomorrow.

The speculation over the roles is an act to get involved.

Now go.

The Spirit Oracle shuffled across his hut at dusk, exhaling long as he laid out the straw mat that served as his bed. He shuffled across his small hut to the soft curtain that served as a door. At his age, best to empty the bladder before he laid down, or there could be trouble later.

As he stood outside, looking at the night sky, he contemplated his decision to move to a remote corner of the world, post-Cataclysm. Sure, it helped him steer clear of the low-lifes, the grifters, and the CHUDs, but the quiet life did get a bit dull.

He paused, and squinted upward. Somehow, within the starry darkness, a deeper darkness was blossoming, inky and fathomless. Gazing into it made the Oracle's heart sink within his frail old chest, and the cold tendrils of despair began to twist sinuously in his periphery. An even deeper blackness began to grow, making the previous darkness look like daylight by comparison. Closer and closer it came to the Oracle, and he began to perceive the darkest core of it, the source of the mind-numbing negative energy. As it grew before him, it took the shape of a white-skinned woman with jet-black hair, thick purple veins, and eyes of unending emptiness.

The being spoke, and its voice, a sibilant whisper-screech, filled his mind with scorpions and drove him to his knees.

"Your realm is at a nexus point. Great and terrible things shall happen, events which will decide the future of every living being within it!"

It was like hearing the tortured wails of a choir on fire.

"I will be watching closely - for the first time in a generation, the balance has been cast into doubt! The culmination of the coming events will be the first steps toward an unknown future, an unwritten page. Even now, assassins are stealing life from your strongest leaders, simply to incite fear and violence."

The Spirit Oracle worked his throat, finally unlocking it enough to rasp forth in fear, "Who.... who are you?"

The dark goddess narrowed her fathomless eyes. "You know who I am."

Assassinations? No one we knew, I hope!

Day 1 has begun. Find someone to lynch for these heinous crimes!

I can vote after having posted. Looks like DH saw he couldn't vote, posted, and then pooped about not being able to vote without realising he should now be able to.

Weird post.

As someone who has played several LC/BR games I don't know if I believe that you believe that anything in the game is meaningless.

An astute observation.

Hey Epi have you voted yet
