If NQT runs it, probably. It’ll bring some older players out of the woodwork, if nothing else.

But now they know they can post something like that and get a reaction.

Mario Kart for the SNES if you were good at the game you could lap the computer racers (usually never further than the 7th place guy, but still)

I lapped up to fourth on Bowser’s Castle 1 in the Mushroom Cup one time, through hitting all the boosters on the map and probably getting a few lucky items.

Many, many moons ago.

NQT was the one what said it, sometime in May.

Master baiting, also.

Send Henry over to the Capella with a team of medics, who also have a bunch of medical material gathered from Revisionist use. Have them organize the injured into the following groups: those that can operate without treatment; those that require treatment to continue being useful; those that require extensive treatment, who will receive priority after the previous group have been treated; finally, those that are likely to die, who will be made comfortable.

I will also use Revisionist to create some night vision and thermal goggles, and assign eight of the crew with the best eyesight to use these and scan the horizon for the evilness what just blew us up. There will be two each scanning the horizon to the north, south, east, and west. They will act as spotters to the gunner, who will be continuously manning the anti-air gun I created ages ago, while I will also create some handheld anti-air weaponry for another small group, who will also pay attention to the spotters commands.

Another group of my crew will man the cannons facing the shore, and will fire on the most official looking buildings, while I get on the radio with the following message, broadcast across all frequencies:


I do not appreciate the continued assaults on my fleet, and will maintain fire on you until the remaining Wiki-Warriors are brought within range of my vessel. I have already shot down one of your defenders, I assure you I have the means to do it again and again. Do not aggravate me further, or I will be forced to concentrate my efforts on your fine city.

Assign a small crew to the Elridge, ask them to press all the buttons.

I was 3P though, I just couldn’t win while you were alive.

Wasn’t so great my block couldn’t block the NK, would’ve been nice to know that ahead of time :p

You're from Wisconsin, too. I'm so sorry.

I was to talk to you after the game wasn't I? Anyway, one of my favourite things about me is being hard to read; you'll always be surprised by my flip :p

You have the makings of a good mafia player, you just have to develop your skills a bit. You've got a lot of tenacity, which is pretty much the foundation of a good day game as either alignment. dolores, for example, was not being lynched on D1, and it would've been stupendously difficult to get her lynched on D2, because she earned a lot of town cred keeping the game alive on D1.

One thing that might help is slowing down a bit. You're going to have a few days in mafia before you have to come to a decision, so don't put all your cards on the table until you're ready to make a case on someone, which is usually within the last 24 hours of a day. Ex: When you were trying to convince everyone I was scum, you were pushing way too hard and posting way too much (at least for our meta) for people to really want to pay attention to you. It came across as you trying to convince me that I was scum, which won't win you any support, and a good scum player will draw that out to make you look like an idiot, and also make it so little else gets done during the day. Understandable on some level that you kept at it though, since you thought I was scum and I was telling you to go away :p taking a step back and allowing yourself some time to look elsewhere, or for another explanation, can work wonders. Many a time I've felt utterly certain someone was scum, built a case and posted about it incessantly for a day, then come back after a sleep and felt much less sure about it.

It was also quite obvious you were working from your conclusion backwards, finding evidence that fit your theory and refusing to consider it in a different light. This is not a bad thing - I still do this to build my cases - but it's important to temper that with cold, hard analysis first. If you can figure out that someone is not quite right, that's a good first step. If you can put the spotlight on them and make them talk, a good second step. The third step is looking at what they have (and haven't!) posted, and then using that to figure out whether or not they're town. After that, you make a case against the person who is either least likely town (this will probably be a D1 case) or the person who is most likely scum (D2 and beyond) and looking for things to convince other players that you're right, and that's when you make your case.

It takes a bit of practice, but it's fun. Especially when the entire town is playing.

I mean, at the risk of doing the whole “all you depressives need is fresh air and exercise” shite, you could just go for a walk, too. Movement is good for a bunch of things.

Also, sounds like some unpleasant negative self-talk too. The counter-point should’ve been “what if I’m wrong?” :p

But yeah, that’s a hard one to get out of. It takes a lot of paying attention to your mood, and how you feel physically, and how you’re thinking, and another thing I can’t remember ( there is a fourth thing to that now, right?) and then making efforts to change enough of that to enact a change in your attitude and behavior (behavior, that was it!) and sort yourself into something livable, I guess.

It has taken me years and I’m still working on it. My major problem was what I termed the spin cycle, ‘cause I went round in my head with thoughts and got steadily more aggravated, and then being that aggravated would sap all my energy, which was unfortunate as being tired and feeling down are now tied together for me.

Yeah it was down this morning for me, I think into the afternoon-ish time.

Yeah I wondered about that roleflip thing. I still could’ve won, but initially I was to act on all the players during the night (which would’ve taken at least 4 nights) or, if I died, being the last one alive with a townie, which was not going to happen.

Anyhow, I blocked FoU and Tomasque N1, and dolores N2. At least I had a 67% hit-rate..?

Yeah that would probably have been more interesting if half the town decided to actually play the game.

We lost four players on D1 to non-interest/hissy fits, which killed my interest. If I were town I might’ve tried to push dolores for a D2 lynch, but as 3P, and half the town away? Nah.

Jingo is a good one for Vimes.

I am not good at remembering titles. Not the biggest fan of the later books, but that’s just ‘cause they have the audacity to introduce new characters doing new things, the horror.

Fakeedit: Thud, also.
