Newbie 1888 | Stuff I found online IV

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 how to get pills out of jeans! Because my jeans are sensory hell and I'm gonna fix it.

Rules

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

important bit

• Day 1: up to 10 days, Day 2+ up to 7-days, Night: 48 hours.
  
• Majority lynches
  
• 36 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 36 hours or I will Prod you. You then have 24 hours to post in the game thread or I will replace you. If you come back before I find a replacement, you can stay. 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 54 hours. Two nudges equals one prod. If you have not posted game advancing content in 5 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!

[Plotinus]

All role PMs have been sent out (in the order of the signup list so timestamps mean nothing)! We will start in (expired on 2018-09-07 18:00:00) or when [8/9] people have confirmed, whichever happens sooner.

The above clock and any others used throughout this game will be accurate from the time you loaded the page.

[Plotinus]

At least one person wants to know whether the mafia can communicate with each other in their private topic during the daytime.

Yes, the mafia has daytalk in all newbie games, and in most other games around the site.

Not Voting

Deadline:

(expired on 2018-09-17 18:00:00).

Mod notes:

Good luck everyone!

Please take a moment to familiarise yourselves with my ruleset because I have some rules you may not have encountered in other games before regarding animated gifs, tiny text, prodging and perhaps some other things!

Nastytoe and boguspotatohead have not confirmed and are being replaced. If they confirm before a replacement can be found, they can stay.

[Inferno390]

Hoho I get first post
VOTE: xx2008

[Draynth]

VOTE: the worst
He's my twin and one twin is always evil

[Mister Rogers]

@Draynth: So have you two been a hydra before? What does this "twin" stuff actually mean?

[Hugo Stiglitz]

VOTE: the worst
I also vote this player bc I know the name

[Draynth]

@Draynth: So have you two been a hydra before? What does this "twin" stuff actually mean?

We've never hydra'd, it's just an inside joke we have running between us

[Draynth]

Not necessarily an inside joke actually, just a regular joke

[Mister Rogers]

I just got done reading a full 200 page game with Worst in it. Am I missing something? Is there some reason we need to be pressuring this guy for no reason?

I don't like Hugo not wanting to take full responsibility for his vote, i.e. piggy-backing.

Vote: Hugo

Edited to add a : so the automated vote counter would recognise the vote

[Mister Rogers]

@Draynth: Mind if I ask what the difference is between an "inside joke" and a "regular joke"?

[Inferno390]

@Mr. Rogers, how are you a newbie when your account was made in 2013?

[Mister Rogers]

Well, excellent question. I actually was just thinking the same thing. I played two games on this site and just quit. What gets me is that its been like 5 years tho; can hardly believe that actually. >.<

[Inferno390]

Huh
So why are you so worried about pressure in RVS?

[Mister Rogers]

I'm not worried about it but what I find strange is that Hugo is using your vote as the basis of something that is more serious, when its pretty obvious that your vote was simply RVS. Did you notice that, how he says "also"?

[Mister Rogers]

OK CORRECTION: I mean of course not your vote but Draynth's vote. My apologies for the mistake.

[Inferno390]

I think you’re misinterpreting the use of the word “also” here.
Imo the sentence reads: “I will vote Duck as well because I know the name.” Not “I will vote Duck for this reason in addition to the fact that I know the name.”
I also don’t see what’s so serious about Hugo’s vote. I think it’s pretty clear he’s just throwing a vote around, and as such, would make this NAI.

[Mister Rogers]

Any reason you are defending him?

[Inferno390]

Nice shade.
Am I defending him or am I pointing out the flaws in what you are saying?

[Mister Rogers]

Objectively you are doing both.

[Inferno390]

And this deserves shade because...?

[Mister Rogers]

Maybe because he can defend himself?
