Large Normal 231 | Dead Thread

A place for the dead and those that would communicate with them

---

grave (n.)

"excavation in earth for reception of a dead body," Old English

græf

"grave; ditch, trench; cave," from Proto-Germanic

*grafa-/graba-

(source also of Old Saxon

graf

, Old Frisian

gref

, Old High German

grab

"grave, tomb;" Old Norse

gröf

"cave," Gothic

graba

"ditch"), cognate with Old Church Slavonic

grobu

"grave, tomb," and perhaps from a PIE root

*ghrebh-

(2) "to dig, to scratch, to scrape," related to Old English

grafan

"to dig" (see

grave

(v.)). Or perhaps a substratum word in Germanic and Balto-Slavic.

The normal mod. representation of OE.

græf

would be

graff

; the ME. disyllable

grave

, from which the standard mod. form descends, was prob. due to the especially frequent occurrence of the word in the dat. (locative) case. [OED]

From Middle Ages to 17c., they were temporary, crudely marked repositories from which the bones were removed to ossuaries after some years and the grave used for a fresh burial. "Perpetual graves" became common from c. 1650.

Grave-side

(n.) is from 1744.

Grave-robber

attested from 1757. To

make (someone) turn in his grave

"behave in some way that would have offended the dead person" is first recorded 1888.

RULES and ETIQUETTE

I will be running a mostly unspoiled dead thread. If you are spoiled some way from your time in life, place such content behind the appropriate tags, or not at all.

Each night you may discuss among yourselves and choose a player who would you investigate and a player who you would protect.

Once you are dead please don't post in the game thread or any shared private threads, even to make a contentless "Bah!" post. You are free to keep making notes in a notes thread.

[Mizzytastic]

Nero Cain has died. He was a

Vanilla Townie

.

Hey, as part of this dead threat you can submit a player to protect and a player to view the role card of. Normally I resolve it at the end of the night to give people a chance to weigh in but been as it's just you here I'll resolve it ASAP.

[Mizzytastic]

Only a play one, cos normal game. You'll learn if you picked right by the results on Day 2.

[Mizzytastic]

Norfolk Boy1 has died. He was a

Hey, as part of this dead thread you can submit a player to protect and a player to view the role card of.

There has been some confusion so this is a reminder it's just a game for the dead thread, no impact on the game.

[Mizzytastic]

To be clear, you got no result, not no one visiting

Also @Norfolk town!NM "I get to troll longer and I think I might be hitting scum"
scum!NM "I get to troll longer and want to try and get rid of the towniest player I can and have people still believe me"

Alternatvely either NM *randomises player list* "I get to troll longer and this player was chosen by fate"

[Mizzytastic]

If all of you are ok rolecopping chkflip I'm happy to resolve it early, or do you want more time to think about it?

[Mizzytastic]

You get one per night, not death, its a group decision

family along with REDACTED. You share a private thread which you can talk in at any time, including the day.

[Mizzytastic]

They definitely considered mason as possible but weren't treating at as forgone. I don't think any of them seemed to think you'd be a different PR

[Mizzytastic]

Not_Mafia is currently not joining the dead thread as I'm consulting with the listmod for how to handle something that potentially involves a replacement after death.

It is however night so you can get your suggestions in for role cop and protection.

It is the night, so this is your time to discuss whose Role PM you want to see and who you'd protect

[Mizzytastic]

I lost access to my notes upon death

You still have access, I leave private threads open

[Mizzytastic]

Which ever way it goes, SK has quite a game to go but he's played well all game I think.

Scum ultimately got messed up mechanically and they got PoEd which sucks

Honestly I think it was more the swing from the early SK kills not going through then town mechanics. Scum had to hang on for longer in a hostile player count than expected. This also gave Town more chance to get good results. I'll be saying more about it when I do my post game wrap up but it's certainly given me something to think about when it comes to set up design in future.

[Mizzytastic]

I thought it had neat possibilities and tried to design around it knowing it could be swingy, and even then I feel like I was caught off guard

[Mizzytastic]

I think Mathblade is talking about SK in general and chkflip about this game's in particular

[Mizzytastic]

Spoiler: NorwegianboyEE's Role PM

NorwegianboyEE - Non-consecutive nights commuter serial killer

You are a

Non-Consecutive Nights Commuter Serial Killer

Each day you may talk in the game thread and vote on who to eliminate.

Each night, if you didn't do so on the previous night, you may commute. Other players actions cannot target you, even actions that would normally get through prevention effects.

Each night, you may attempt to visit a player. Assuming no interference that player will die. You may not commute and kill a player on the same night.

You win when all players other than you are dead, or nothing can prevent that from happening.

The game thread is here, please confirm your role and alignment via pm.

I was trying to create an sk with more interesting decisions for protecting themselves than some amount of bulletproof. I do think making the kill compulsive if they don't commute would probably be nicer then letting them no kill, but the role name is already so many words.

[Mizzytastic]

Gamma Emerald, a

Macho Activated Innocent Child

, has died. Please welcome him

[Mizzytastic]

It's hard to balance cos they lose to one random elim. After this game I have a stronger appreciation for why not everyone agrees with them being normal in larges

[Mizzytastic]

You know everyone else so...

[Mizzytastic]

copy paste and tiredness don't always mix well

[Mizzytastic]

BBMolla, a

Vanilla Townie

, has died. Please welcome them

[Mizzytastic]

As a reminder to people with notes threads and members of the Mafia thread, unless you ask otherwise they will be released 48 hours after game end. If you want to make any redactions or are ok with them being released as is the sooner you tell me the sooner it's sorted.

[Mizzytastic]

I can see what Norwee was going for. Andres was talking about how he didn't see BBMolla's play coming from an SK, and Luca was convinced it was but backed off the vote to a no elim. I think he's angling for Andres voting Luca in a cross vote, plus the reasonable chance either of them vote the other instead of him.

[Mizzytastic]

Definitely bold though

[Mizzytastic]

ok this is kinda like lowkey but andres may sheep me on my luca read

I think it's a long shot for anyone to sheep anyone who died night 2 on day 9. Memories just aren't that long and as far as I can tell site meta seems to pay relatively little attention to the thoughts of the dead

[Mizzytastic]

I’m what the fuck
No elim should’ve happened when TWO people voted it

I think this is correct btw

I didn't know this, and was just going off how I wrote my rules and the fact it passed review. I'm sorry if I made a mistake
