Newbie 1879 | Stuff I found online III

Hello. In this game I'll be showcasing cool stuff I found/learned about online via my RSS reader and maybe talking some about why I think it's cool. Like beautiful abandoned places from around the world!

Rules

Inspired by Equinox's, Glork's and Ether's rulesets.

important bit

• 14-day day phase, 48 hour night phase
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 48 hours before prod, 24 hours before replacement, 24 hour weekends
  
• Bah posts allowed (limit: 1, free of game related content)
  
• I have some unusual rules about animated GIFs, tiny text, and prodging. Scroll down for details.
  
• Don’t be a dick

1. Follow all site rules.
   
   
2. Mod colour
   – My mod colour is
   grey
   ; don't use it.
   
3. Behaviour
   - Don’t be a dick. This is a heated game but toxicity will not be tolerated. Attack the play not the player. If your fellow players tell you to stop, you must stop. If you do not stop, I will tell you to stop. If you still do not stop, you will be force-replaced. Asking people to stop voting you or to stop scumhunting you entirely doesn't count for this rule and you may find yourself lynched if you try it.
   
4. Don't talk about ongoing games
   - You may not talk to each other about this game outside of threads I have created for this purpose. You may not talk about other ongoing games in this thread.
   
5. Animated GIFs
   - are of the devil, but they are permitted behind spoilers if clearly labelled as such.
   
6. Tiny text
   - is also of the devil, keep it 70+ please.
   
7. Provable randomness
   - is against the rules. Saying that you rolled a dice is fine, using dice tags or random.org is not.
   
8. Claiming scum
   - by yourself is fine. Claiming scum with another player is against the rules.
   
9. Cryptography
   - is forbidden. Breadcrumbing is okay.
   
10. Confirmation
    - You have about 72 hours to confirm your role and your alignment by PM. Game will start sooner if everyone confirms. Posting in a private topic counts as confirmation.
    
11. Days
    - Days last about 14 days. Extensions may be granted if there are replacements.
    
12. Activity
    - You must post at least once every 48 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. The activity timers run at half-speed on weekends. Players can request me to prod somebody early. This will only count as an official prod if you don't post before you would have been due for a prod. If you haven't posted in the 24 hours before the thread is locked for night, you must reply to the night start PM or you will be replaced during the night.
    
13. Vacation/Limited Access
    If you need to be absent for longer than this, you should declare
    V/LA
    in bold in the thread like this: [
    b]

    @Mod: I will be v/la until Thursday

    [
    /b]. While you are V/LA, you will be nudged once every 72 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 7 days, regardless of V/LA status, you will be replaced.
    
14. Prodging
    - A naked "prod dodge" does not reset the prod timer. To avoid being prodded/replaced for inactivity, include some game advancing content in your prodges, such as "got prodded; xxxx is still scum."
    
15. Quoting
    - You may not quote (or copy paste) any private information into the thread, including your role PM and any mod communication.
    
16. Voting
    - Votes must be in bold in the format VOTE: Plotinus or
    Vote: Plotinus
    . Strong preference for using vote tags instead of bold tags. Unvotes are nice but not required. If I think it’s a vote, it’s a vote, no tricks. Type [
    v]Plotinus[
    /v] to vote and [
    uv]Plotinus[
    /uv] to unvote.
    
17. Lynching
    - Days end early when a simple majority of players (50% of living players + 1 rounded down) vote to lynch somebody. If a majority is not reached at deadline or if a majority of the players vote for no lynch, the day will end without a lynch. At evens, 50% is sufficient for no lynch.
    
18. Twilight
    - Begins when a majority is reached and lasts until I lock the thread. You're still alive until I flip you so you can talk in any game threads you have access to until then, but no votes or unvotes will be counted.
    
19. Night
    - Night lasts at least 48 hours. The night phase can be shortened if every living player -- even those with no night actions -- agrees to it and if I'm not busy.
    
20. Action submissions
    - You may submit actions via PM (if town) or PT (if scum). If the actions are not submitted by the deadline then you do nothing. You can change your mind as many times as you like before the deadline.
    
21. Reminders
    - If I don't hear from you about your night actions, I'll PM you 24 hours before the deadline. This doesn't count as a prod. If I still don't hear from you, you will take no action.
    
22. Play to win
    - this particular game, not some future one, and keep it fun!

Yiling was riding home on her motorcycle when she saw the cat. It was late evening and the air was thick with smells, but the scent of the cat rang out like the clang of a temple bell, cutting through the stench of exhaust and the oil-in-the-nose smell of fried food wafting from the roadside stalls.

The Guest is a story about a smell magician who finds a cat one day. It took me a few paragraphs to get into it but it was really worth it.

You've probably heard about the GDPR¹ by now, but it can be kind of annoying² stating your advertising and tracking preferences on every single website you visit, and some websites won't even show you the opt out message if you're not visiting from Europe, but you can go to http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/ to opt out of everything all in one place.

¹ The European law that makes websites have to be more transparent about how they handle your data.
² Why are you asking me hard questions when I just wanna look at cat videos?

An online etymological dictionary that explains where words come from. One of my favourites is

window

- c. 1200, literally "wind eye," from Old Norse vindauga, from vindr "wind" (see wind (n.1)) + auga "eye" (from PIE root *okw- "to see"). Replaced Old English eagþyrl, literally "eye-hole," and eagduru, literally "eye-door."

A phrase frequency counter to see which phrases you overuse. They have a word frequency counter too, but I haven't found it very informative: my top ten words just signify that I'm writing in English (I, the, to, you, but, it, in, a, my, of). Learning that your narrator has said "I don't know how to" several times in a short story is more useful.

For our ancestors, natural was something quite nasty. Natural often tasted bad.

Fresh meat was rank and tough; fresh milk warm and unmistakably a bodily excretion; fresh fruits (dates and grapes being rare exceptions outside the tropics) were inedibly sour, fresh vegetables bitter. Even today, natural can be a shock when we actually encounter it. When Jacques Pepin offered free-­range chickens to friends, they found “the flesh tough and the flavor too strong,” prompting him to wonder whether they would really like things the way they naturally used to be. Natural was unreliable. Fresh fish began to stink. Fresh milk soured, eggs went rotten.

Mix n match is a writing prompt for generating characters. Take a random adjective from column A and a random person from column B and write about the most adjectivest person: the most embarrassed actor, the jitteriest surveyor, the proudest payroll clerk, the wickedest agriculture and food scientist, the most helpful farmer, the most confused writer, the most disgusted violinist, etc.

Personal universe deck is a way of generating writing prompts for yourself. On some index cards or whatever, you write words that are meaningful to you that belong to various categories and then you shuffle them up and use them to help you work out what comes next in a story you've put on hold or to write a poem or whatever.

Interestingly, when doctor-tracker-goon-goon was part of matrix6, town won 34 out of 76 games, or 44.7%. Scum won the other 42 games. But in 2d3, this is the second time it's been played and town has won both times.

Also, this was one of the last newbie games with the 14 day deadlines, so if you sign up for a new game, it will have 10 days for day 1 and 7 days for the other days. There will be shorter prod times as well. If you liked the longer day format, it's in use in most games in the other queues.

fwiw i think the nature of the 2d3 setup is relatively favorable to tracker/doc/goon and relatively unfavorable to cop/goon and jk/goon compared to matrix6

in particular, scum get a lot of value out of fakeclaiming doc or tracker in C1/C2 but it totally screws them over in C3.

That's a good point. I was wondering about something like this but couldn't figure out how to articulate it.
