Welcome to the Valentine game, thank you for signing up!
Rules and information:
Phases are 48/24, the game starts tomorrow 12 February and SoD/EoD is at 15:00 CET (this should be 9am in New York and 1am in Canberra)
Please respect the 50 posts per day postcap, it will be released one hour before EoD.
Please use the Vote: Taffy format. As usual, :00 posts/votes are good, :01 posts/votes bad.
Tied votes will be decided at random.
Starting D2 you will be able to end the day early with a majority vote, but not before every living player has posted.
Please do not post at night or after dying unless you have a power that explicitly says you can.
Please do not quote or screenshot from discord or other forms of host communication. Paraphrasing is fine.
Please do not talk to the other players outside of the channels I created for that purpose.
Please don't edit posts.
Night actions are due one hour before SoD.
The following roles are not part of the setup: Serial Killer, Survivor, Jester, Miller, Godfather, Janitor, Cultist or other sources of fake flips/recruitment.
You will receive your roles shortly through discord dm, and they will have one of the following formats:
If your circumstances have changed and you cannot play, please tell me before game start and I will try to find a sub for you.
Any players who zero post D1 and are unresponsive on discord will be mod killed N1 showing alignment only. If this happens to a PR the role will get reranded.
Please be respectful of your fellow players. Remember to attack arguments, not people.
It is with great joy that I present to you my humble collection of hagiographies of some of our lesser-known (though certainly not lesser!) saints and martyrs. Together we shall explore the exciting lives of these exalted defenders of the faith and their often woeful yet immer inspiring demise.
My sincerest thanks go to Professor Doctor Emeritus Chaton, whose depth of knowledge on the subject was invaluable in tracking down and verifying some of the more obscure stories I am proud to include here, and without whose feedback my work could not boast half its academic merit. Of course none of it had been possible without the relentless support of my husband, whose cooking kept me going through the darkest hours of my research. Finally, all my love to my cat Arwen, forever ready to pur in my lap and walk on my keyboard to provide the necessary breaks.

Nic Cage's greatness cannot be confined to a mere movie. I, erudite Cage connoisseur that I am (:toff:), prefer this montage of his best freakouts:
He might be the only white dude who can make a non-racist black-face work.

Re: 17er Saints and Martyrs
Ladd McConkey brings all the athleticism and route-running traits to be a high-quality receiver, but size and strength could limit his potential.
Ladd is one of the better route-runners in the 2024 draft class. His quick feet, smooth hips and instant acceleration allow him to run any route effectively. Ladd particularly excelled running digs, posts and comebacks at Georgia thanks to his acceleration, which helped him put defensive backs on their back foot immediately. The detail in many of his routes is advanced for a player his age.
On top of that, Ladd shows solid hands. He has the concentration ability to find the ball and hang onto it through traffic, which will be of great value for someone who does most of their work to the intermediate range.
However, Ladd loses plenty of reps for one reason or another due to his lack of size and strength.
At the line of scrimmage, Ladd has no ability to fight through contact or use his frame to push off DBs. There are too many instances where a DB gets hands on Ladd and the rep is over right away.
Likewise, Ladd is not a ball-winner in the air. He just does not have the length, strength or explosive leaping ability to go up for the ball in the air. Contested catches will not be in his bag of tricks in the NFL.
Ladd can be a good slot/Z type in the NFL. He can play both inside and out, he is a highly effective route-runner and his hands are reliable enough. With that said, Ladd's lack of size and strength will likely limit him to being a complementary piece rather than a core part of his future offense.

Did some followup reading on the sequel to Twister whose existence I first head about last night and I'm not sure if this is the single greatest or worst thing I've ever seen:
Quote:
Tyler enjoys chasing tornadoes, a dangerous feat with little-to-no reward other than…local notoriety? But that could all change when Kate Cooper (Edgar-Jones) offers up a new idea: They could destroy the first tornado, forever changing weather history.
But destroying a tornado is not exactly easy. I mean, a tornado isn’t an easily demolishable building—it’s a quickly moving storm system with the ability to kill many. But with the Tornado Wrangler on her side, Kate sets forth on a mission to capture not one but two huge windstorms hurtling towards the nearby area.

Re: 17er Saints and Martyrs
Okay this is boring, time for a brief flicker of tryharding to kick the game into action and collect sufficient towncred for me to cash in whilst saving my wolfbreaux at EOD (editor's note: lol 8 AM eod, don't expect me there).
:book2:
#6 - soulread this as a villagy response, don't hold me to it, it's a terrible read, it's 98% not real (but 2% real, just like the 2% milk Kai Leng uses when he breaks into your apartment and eats your cereal1). :dunce:
#7 - I've already given up on linking posts, go read the thread if you wanna know what I'm referring to nerd. Wolfy self-awareness (0% real), plus having a "break between classes" that early in the morning is truly unhinged if you're a college student in a US time zone so I earnestly hope you're European or something. :no:
#8 - Forgive me for reading into a meaningless shitpost, but this is a weird response by vibes to a playful accusation that you're a wolf. Not how a villager would respond ldo, and the gratuitous exclamation mark is a clear marker of nefarious intent. :rtwno:
#14 - :curtain:
#17 - Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
#18 - this post stinks ~:handball:
#23 - :sick:
#24 - wow good post
#26, #27 - mildly villagy posts (though i don't understand murska's last line :rolleyes4:)
#28 - :bow:
1 The over/under on the amount of people who will get this joke is 1.5, and the under is the heavy early betting favorite.
Okay enough of that.
Vote: Logic
#36 - I generally think it's a bit wolfy when people enter a game already making excuses like this, feeling defensive and making sure people don't get on your case? (I know this was delivered in a somewhat jokey manner but it still is a weird entrance.)
#37, #46 - The tenor of these jokes is wolfy and the fake w reads come across like forced joke content to have something to post
Also 1-2 in GH and ladd is probably a wolf or a serial killer or something (mystery % real)

Why do I love Darkstar so much? It's pretty simple when I think about it. Darkstar isn't just the best character in the series, he might just be the? greatest character of all time. Just imaging him riding through the sands of Dorne, the wind in his hair, his mighty steed below him. As he rides through the red mountains, the ladies swoon at his very scent. They know how he smells, the essence of his smell is sold in Planky Town under the the name of "Greenblood Orgasm." The very nature of Darkstar is mystery. could he be playing a deeper game than even his creator realizes? The answer is yes, he has transcended such boundaries as the written world, and has free will to do whatever he sees fit. However, Darkstar is filled with such guile, such? arcane craft that he does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the Darkstar is not one that is easily penetrated. Darkstar is such a force of nature in his realm that nothing can truly touch him, the only thing keeping him bound to the? page at all is his will to exist within the preordained boundaries of his world. Darkstar is not only beyond the comprehension of us, he exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe his playful smile, his gorgeous and rippling biceps, his gallant nose, and most importantly, his eyes. His eyes, like pools of saffron, provide the only? glimpse into the true machinations of Darkstar. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. Darkstar is not just a character, a formless collection of words and images, he is himself is the binding that holds the saga together. Without Darkstar, the entire series, the entire world of Westeros as we know it crumbles. The Trident would stop flowing without Darkstar, the Reach would become a desolate crater, and the Wall would melt without his frosty gaze.

I am up for hosting a mafia game between 12-17 people (I think I settle on around 16-17).
Type of game:
Small mafia game. This will be a indirect sequel to my first KnightTime I game.
Brief Background:
There has been a sudden strange wrap of time in the world, and many famous or semi-famous people have been transported to huge complex (Bascially a Hotel with razor wided laddend fences and guard towers). "The King" who he is called is alive and well and decided to bring all these characters to life or back from the dead. In order to get out, they must spend several nights in his "resort" because the King really likes these particular people and always wanted to meet them. But what they do not is that there are some characters that are more intersted in seeing them dead before they the murderers go back to whence they came. They must fight to stay alive.
This game isn't a fancy game and isn't made to be a "Beat ATPG's best game ever" mafia game. I am just doing this for fun. As long as I fix some last minute stuff, it will be a goofy (storyline wise) but (hopefully) half decent game.
Characters:
Here are just some of them;
He-Man
Batman
Joker
Spiderman
Jozef Simonyi
Croat Hussar
Hungarian Hussar
Frederick The Great
Tom
Jerry
Mr.Peanut
Evil clone of Mr.Peanut
NutCracker
Mumma-Ra
Sign-Ups (11):
autolycus
Amsel
Mr.Stuka (via PM)
Secura
Chaotix
Double A
spL1tp3r50naL1ty
Seon
B_Ray
robbiecon
King Jan III Sobieski (via PM)

Re: 17er Saints and Martyrs
I'm going to apologize for this one in advance but I hope you'll all humor me for a little while. This is a casual org game after all and I can't help but try and post in a way to properly honor the occasion. Who knows when I'll be back in this situation again.
I don't think it's a secret for most of you that my track record in reading Zack has been rather … well … awful thus far in our games. I did have one specific game where I recognized Zack was a villager and confidently (and happily!) let the world know. They flipped wolf. After our MU game together and then Org (both of which saw me find Zack’s eod wolfy and press there) I wanted to make a concentrated effort to finally read that slot correctly.
I spent some time today combing through recent-ish games of Zack’s. The wolf game on the Org website, the Cogpsy game over on the Syndicate one, and all sorts of mashes/smaller games through MU as well. Rocks fall, Best Flavor 13er, 18er SK, etc. You get the picture. All in all there were 16 different games I pulled isos from. I then went and ran through the isos extracting all the day one posts from the first half of the day, labeled them as W or V, and ran them through a bit of a homemade database that would do a few different things for me. One of the things was to make a word cloud which would count the number of times each word was used in these isos and make the word larger the more frequently it was used. For example:
Anyways, I separated the wolf isos from the villa isos and then removed things like articles (a, the, in, an, etc) as well as player names as those aren't really super relevant to our investigation and cross referenced them to see if anything word usage stood out as alignment indicative in the top 10 most common words. While there were small word choices favored it didn't seem super significant. What WAS significant were two other things:
One: While specific word choices weren't very telling I did notice a definitely trend of elegance in the wolf isos. The words may change but the idea remained the same. In wolf ISOs Zack had a habit of using larger, more elegant words whereas in the villa ISOs Zack just talked more casually. I'll call these Posts Exceedingly Elegant as we continue.
Two: Villager isos were much more full of observational posts rather than inquisitive ones. The wolf iso was full of open ended questions requesting elaboration. Not just directly to a specific player but also towards the thread at large asking if it saw what Zack was seeing. Meanwhile the villager iso was full of more pointed statement. It was telling the thread what Zack was seeing and making sure everyone understood. The village iso had a higher frequency – by a significant margin – of Posts Of Observation.
Again, I really want to get this right so I didn't stop there. Science isn't science until you write it down after all. I went ahead and charted the percentage of posts as a villager and as a wolf for both posts containing an elegant word and posts making observations. It's a bit crude but here's the quick jot down I made to visualize it:
So I wanted to see how this one was shaping up. Remember, these were all taken from the first half of day one isos which we've made it past here. I went ahead and ran through Zack’s iso from this game, plotted the elegance and observational percentages on the chart, and ran the following equation to try and determine the exact percentage chance Zack has at being a wolf:
(Posts Exceedingly Elegant as a wolf)(Posts Exceedingly Elegant here) + (Posts of Observation as a villager)(Posts of Observation here) = the mathematical chance of Zack being a villager here (do 1-this for wolf obv).
Which looks something like this:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
(Posts Exceedingly Elegant as a wolf)(Posts Exceedingly Elegant here) + (Posts of Observation as a villager)(Posts of Observation here)
Or written differently

Re: 17er Saints and Martyrs
the complete lack of engagement with my solid, earthy, unagenda'd wallpost in which I expertly asserted my beefy superiority on the game thread indicates we are living in 2 possible worlds:
1) the only people who've seen it are villagers and they truly don't give a shit, shut up zack, we're shiptoasting. okay fair enough. :tomato: :bow:
2) logic is a wolf and wolves are shook and want no part of touching my post and so have elected to ignore it, ipso facto no one is reacting whatsoever to the spurious reads and questionable takes contained elsewhere in the post, even though day 1 of a mafia game is explicitly ripe ground for 10 "well actually..."ers to nitpick the hell out of my carless thin reads ~:wave:
benneh likely a v for specifically drawing attention to it in the way he did in that world fwiw :7detective:
3) some mixture of the two. (in polite society you always list 3 things after indicating there are only 2 options :pirate2:)
in other news, wisdom making a nothing entrance post then an unexplained ladd wolfread and dipping is noted in italics (i'm not sure why it should be noted, or what to make of it, but it definitely feels like something that should be noted. i have my best people on this.)
