Refusing to rhyme is kinda scummy
Also anyone who over rhymes/someone in first 3 is def mafia trying to be blendy.

Also fuck rhyming the whole reason i signed up for this game is since I don't wanna post why should I rhyme and be forced to post more.

I have never played a game of this format before, but I did host the one previous attempt at a Light Game on this site. The post cap was higher, but the game ended up being much slower than intended. I think that was more an issue of timing than anything than anything else, but hardly anyone ever came close to hitting their daily post limit in that game. Mafia won easily. Some people said that with no built-in system to keep track of their posts, they felt their safest bet was to just stay quiet. That's why I propose we all keep track of our daily post counts ourselves for the time being.

Pacing and timing will be important too, I guess. There's no lifting of the cap late in the phase, so if any of us are inclined to save some bullets for the deadline in case anything crucial needs to be said at lynchtime, we should be cautious about that. Unless you have jiggy powers, maybe limit yourself to 20 posts for the first 46 hours or so, I don't know, I'm making this up as I go.

I also guess we'll finally see how I adapt when I can't ask why a thousand times a day.

If we've got any other strategic suggestions, put them out there. This is a new format with new challenges, but it doesn't need to be a gigantic disadvantage.

Currently drinking wine and cleaning so not 100% here ergo ignore about half of the grammar and spelling mistakes the other half I'd make even not tipsy.


Also let's not lynch sig day one in this game okay gang? Okay


Also also I'm packing/moving for job, finishing out school and dealing with army junk so activity may be weird for a bit.

I'm pretty busy so I'm not super concerned with hitting the cap for Day 0. Nonetheless, this is post 2.

I just played in a champs practice game at MU, which had a limit, but thankfully there the post limit was lifted 2 hours prior to EoD, so this is new for me as well as far as a hard cap... at least other than Omerta. Shhhhhh.

Anyway, keeping track of posts seems like a good idea since we don't have an automated way to do that. (post #3)

Let us begin with a vote for sig
Whose entrance was just too big
He huffed and he puffed and made a scene
But he just looks the opposite of green

“Let’s not lynch sig day 1” looks like anxiety being masked as banter.

twice in a row, that's no fun
I'd rather choose someone who seems too eager
to do so despite the motive being so meager

You said this elsewhere
Recently. Tell me if you care
How it worked out for you then,
And you really want to pursue that again.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Fri May 01, 2020 1:31 am 4. I voted for Tony (a while back, but I’ve been distracted) because I did not like the early rush of votes on sig.

Now please tell me why it’s a bad look for me to have placed my vote there in the first place.

voting for me = good. I think your out of the gate post against Sig was a little out of character (a kinda "I'm not voting for him, but here's why you should, but I don't like that people are voting for him), but in a 25 post limit day I also think there's reason to say what you have to say efficiently.

I warn you against making reads such as this. I swear in god's name you did the same in a recent game and it ended up the drizzling shits.
