In case you need a refresher, Pine and Ali are known alignment treestumps. There will be 2 masons. Outside of the treestumps themselves, the game will be normalish, although roles and alignments will be chosen manually, not randomized and role PM's will be personalized and flavored. If you have any concerns/questions, feel free to give me a ring.

If you'd like to be considered as a replacement or spectate the game, feel free to post here. We may or may not respond.

[Jingle]

Can I have a nicer crowd? You guys suck.

[Jingle]

I'm not excited about modwifom being such a heavy part of the setup.. are you guys going to do 1 extra scum to account for the ability to guess Pine's preferences or something?

The setup is slightly scumsided and fairly swingy according to my reviewers, although not outside of the normal range. Pine had input on the setup. There are explicitly 6 minions of Pine. The method of Pine's recruitment to the scumteam is known to me and Pine, but is not public information. It will occur in the pregame, meaning the game thread will go up before Role PMs are out. Alisae's method of picking Masons is known to me, Alisae, and Pine. I will not confirm how this process occurs, although Alisae may choose to do so if e wishes.

As far as the ability to guess Pine's preferences, Pine also has the ability to guess my preferences for giving out powers and Pine won both previous iterations of this style of game.

[Jingle]

ALSO: 5 CONFIRMATIONS TIL WE CAN START. HYPE!

[Jingle]

instead of geriatric, if you really wanna slow it down a bit, a simple rule like 'no double posting' or 'no triple posting' could do wonders

We discussed having rules to enforce this, but the goal of this game isn’t to have arbitrary rules to make it fun. It’s to be a super fun game with a super fun group of players.

If I need to add rules to enforce “Be considerate” I will, but I’ll also be really sad I had to.

[Jingle]

How is the selection of masons and mafia decollided without either Pine or Alisae being spoiled?

Is there a way I could ask that without making up a word?

There is indeed a method to prevent a mafia/mason overlap!

This has been jingle, sidestepping your actual question.

[Jingle]

Me too!

In other news, we’re down to 4 names left! I’ll start tapping alternates this weekend if we’re not 100% by then. If a player who received an invitation doesn’t respond for whatever reason, in addition to being sad I’ll add them to the list of people to bug when one of the

old crowd

players flakes.

Just to make this public, we’re not even considering requests for hydrae or alts.

[Jingle]

Yeah, but your main is just the worst.

[Jingle]

[Jingle]

You should invite Bingle to play.

Unfortunately Bingle has access to the mod thread and is ineligible to play.

(This isn’t a lie, by the way, Bingle actually does have access to the mod thread and might ego post in the main thread for my own purposes of being able to check the thread easily while mobile.)

And yes, you may hyperpost here. Any mod information that isn’t already in the OP for the main game will be copied into the main thread so that people don’t have to wade through it.

[Jingle]

Everyone knows pinkish+green > red.

[Jingle]

It’s not even one. They’re avian, not human.

[Jingle]

I don’t intend to survive the singularity because it is existentially terrifying. Never dying? I can think of no worse fate.

[Jingle]

But the flip side of that is that you have to be with your family forever. I don’t want to die young, but 40,000 years is too much, let alone eternity.

[Jingle]

I have a long enough games backlog as it is.

[Jingle]

The ability to kill yourself makes it functionally not immortality, though. And I’d argue that your thoughts not being warped by the ages would make it even worse. Being unnaturally immutable. :shudders:

It’s not really the death of all of my friends and loved ones that scares me, either, but the inevitable boredom.

[Jingle]

Repetitive experiences always are.

Also, this is immortality via singularity, so objectively the thought processes involved would be changed at an inherent level, given the whole turning into a computer conceit.

Basically, what you're arguing is the ability to choose your time of death, which is a perfectly reasonable wish.

[Jingle]

Singularity immortality would be akin to the matrix without the stupid battery rationale.

Basically, when a machine is sufficiently advanced to store the human consciousness, the human consciousness can achieve immortality by being downloaded to a machine.

Also, Cypher is like the most relatable character in that movie. Who willingly chooses to go from 1999 New York to less than 3rd world conditions?

[Jingle]

Big words again

You know what they say about people with big words...

[Jingle]

Unfortunately, I don’t. It was explained to me in big words.

Small, feminine hands.

[Jingle]

My reads shall, as always, be impeccable.

[Jingle]

we will be politely requesting that you (all) chill the fuck out for at least the first couple of days.

We're aware that some of you may tend to spamming. If it becomes a problem, Ali/Pine will likely step in. If they don't or the problem persists, I will step in with a warning. If a warning is insufficient, I will alter the rules. Pray I do not alter them further.

tl;dr, be considerate of Pine. You can't read as fast after your third millennium of growth.

[Jingle]

There's enough skittles to have an all skittle scumteam and for you to be town.

[Jingle]

I can read Jinglisae like a book.

This just in: Pine has found random.org.

[Jingle]

is fruitless.

I see what you did there. Because none of them are trees.

[Jingle]

Nah, Ali doesn't know the entire flavor is based around Yoshi Story.

I mean...

Look over there!

[Jingle]

I'm gonna be almost sad when I have to restrict my shit talk to the shit talk thread.

[Jingle]

Oooh. Next time we should do a reverse draft for scumteams! Ali drafts Pine's team and Pine drafts Ali's team.

(Pine floated the idea of Pine v Ali v Jingle if Ali wins.)

[Jingle]

I’ve had a ranked-order list of who I want to draft for more than a week, with dossiers on each of you.

This is true, btw. He sent me a picture. I still don’t know what favorite cereal has to do with scum competence, but he’s definitely done his research.

On the other hand, my preparation for this game has been to tape all of your avatars to my dart board and buy a blindfold.

[Jingle]

Popsofctown replaces popsofctown in the pregame. Please don’t discuss this decision, it’s definitely not because popsofctown doesn’t like playing as mafia.

[Jingle]

I’m here to earn Pine’s title off of him by guessing his pick order.

[Jingle]

And.... roles completed, results tallied, buttons pressed.

I'll put up the game thread shortly. Flavored PMs should come in the next day or two.

LET'S GET READY TO MURDER TREES!

[Jingle]

Role PMs will go out tomorrow. I'm about to get very drunk, and that strikes me as a bad combination.

[Jingle]

I’m not drunk yet, chenn.

Factional pt access granted. If you’re scum look for a pm. Otherwise, see you in the morning.
