Haven’t read but this sounds decent based on the rules? How do I cut pause short?

You probably don't. There are some roles that have the power of 'time warp' which can switch between play and pause. But if you don't have that power, you can only wait for play to resume like the rest of us.

Honestly, I don't know. I wasn't immunized yet and the rules don't say if one gets a mod confirmation if the immunization worked. On the other hand, if you would have been recruited, you would have to be notified (hard to play scum if you don't know that you are scum). So you not getting any notification probably means that the immunization worked. Unless there is some scum PR around that can interfere with that. But that would feel kind of bastardy.

Oh and yes, with 'hammer' I meant the last vote on your train.

CheekyTeeky is replaced by MathBlade

Now how about replacing Nico? He's been absent for basically all of the game. Even 9 days longer than Cheeky at a grand total of one post.

That being said: welcome MathBlade! I hope your presence here will increase the activity a bit.

Ok, good to know; thanks for the clarification.

I.. kinda... hate this game. At least one of my favorite players ever has replaced in, and will probably replace back out lol.
Mathblade can you do your setup spec magic and get us out of this mess?

Considering I have very limited cult game experience no.

And I am still reading the thread so setup spec with like no info in a cult game is like riiiiiiip.

You’re prob cult.

And that’s just one small fraction from the main attraction.

You need a friendly hand - and I need action!

...but Janet is dead and she was cult!

SnarkySnowman · Post Post #2260 (ISO) » Tue Mar 13, 2018 4:14 pm

Janet was /not/ a cult leader, however.

SnarkySnowman · Post Post #2261 (ISO) » Tue Mar 13, 2018 4:15 pm

At least, according to the voice

Maybe. At least one of them is. Or to be more precise: the castle has some kind of PA system and someone's role seems to allow them to use it to broadcast messages and since that voice is spreading false information (among the fluff), my guess is, that it is in the hands of one of the cults.

You don't have to. Hardly anyone still does (at least that's my impression). Just start posting and get some action in here!

I do read the game. I’m just burnt out with nowhere to go.

Cerberus v666 · Post Post #2268 (ISO) » Wed Mar 14, 2018 4:37 am

I read most games. I've stopped reading this one mostly. I might read it while we're on play, but probably not.

drealmerz7 · Post Post #2269 (ISO) » Wed Mar 14, 2018 4:39 am

the game is in PLAY

Oh right.

Phase shift submitted to mod.

I hereby designate mathblade as cult leader.

Clearly the slot was important enough to be replaced. Mod action analysis ftw

So what next? With no investigative results (nothing public anyway) and no lynches and the Vig out of shots.. do we have any sort of idea about what to do next (or more precisely whom to vote for the immunization)?

@Mathblade: Welcome and HAPPY BIRTHDAY
