Dw, completely understandable.
Btw, as you can see I'm really falling behind with the flavor, I'm out of idea until the game advances to another day. I'm a little awkward begging for help with it, but if you happen to have ideas for something a bit silly but not too much, feel free to drop like a prompt or a newspaper title or something by pm and I'll see if I can get something out.

Sorry that you've been voted out immediately after replacing it, that does suck. Tbh, and it may be bias, but I don't really agree that your slot was particularly scummy :shrug:

Yeah, I probably did not deal with the situation in the best way. That was I mistake on my part, and I do apologize with both you and Penguin
(you did actually pm me before Penguin came back, so I would have just replaced him if I happened to not be afk just in the moment when it happened. That consideration may have tainted my judgement there)

Bianco, is it possible you could share all of those Billboard options, including the hidden ones and even any of them that never made it into the game?
I want to see the full scope of these options and I find it inspiring to create a very large game like this in the future.
Spoiler:
you already know all of the projects that are in the game
Check addenda §§1-2.
There actually isn't any hidden effect to anything. Note that Wiretap used to be significantly different in the first draft, it returned three random posts (with usernames redacted) from the insurgents' pt. Census used to be "at most one in four", but that was kinda broken. There used to be a line of Developments to discount stuff and allow for three actions per day, but that was scrapped -- the game is too small to allow for that.

The problem is there isn't really much that can be plausibly be allowed as an investigative project in an otherwise all-vanilla game. There is no movements to track, nothing but alignments to discover, and a straight cop check would be broken.
In fact, all investigative either have intrinsic unreliability, or offer some sort of cumulative metric on more than one player. There
is
something which is basically a straight out Cop Check with some hoops in the game, but it's not in the investigative branch and I don't think they will ever try to build the necessary developments for it ;(

I have got confirmation that my not doweling well was not from being tortured.
Spoiler:
Actually, not really; and I made sure to word that very carefully to be true. What I actually have said is that "This [being unwell] is not a hidden aspect of the Torture project".
It is, nonetheless, caused by something the insurgence

Could you share with me how you made those addenda, please?
You mean specifically how I made the pictures? They, and the Journal entry, are just typeset in latex; I can DM you the tex files over discord if you really want them, but the code it's really quite trivial tbh.
I'll be honest, a 28p with
four
scumteams idk if it can be balanced in any way.
Spoiler:
(Btw, I see you do not have any of the currently locked projects in your list. It's good to not post them here because of spoilers and such, but do note that in your role PM you
are
aware of them; there are another 12 non-development projects that are still locked. All the more fun stuff in fact)

Yeah they could vote assassination as well, they just need to think to vote a project as well as hammer no elimination because if there's just one town vote on assassination and nothing else, that's a town controlled vig and then scum are all outed as voting no elimination. Guess it depends on how good their access to scum-controlled kills is.
Spoiler:
Bad. They may have a kill depending on what they do tonight, and they need to do a very specific thing. But They don't look like they're going to do the required thing. They also may have a way to remove half a vote from town, which is as good as a kill, by abusing the mechanics in a particularly funny and goldberg-y way that would actually require voting to send a gift. I don't think they'll do that, most likely they'll just try to bullrush it

No, because only effect that would raise vote weights to "two or more or give additional secret votes to singular Utopians" are disabled. 1.5 is not 2 or more
