I have periods where I do more or less game running, but being moderator on this subforum means I never actually disappear.

How -has- your experience been as a moderator?  I assume we haven't gotten out of line that much?

I’m not sure what drew me to the game, I guess I like solving puzzles. I’ve been here on and off for years.

I joined a BM, got worked up and paranoid the ICs were scum and was promptly eliminated D1. My second game was a scum game with at least one of the same ICs which we romped, which was cool.

I think then my third game was an NQT game, in which I was a third party and allowed to choose my wincon, but I don’t think I did well. I think Tiruin insinuated everyone had a counter to my ability so I didn’t actually use it.

I wasn’t a nice person back then in games a lot of the time, which I regret. Trying to be nicer in games now.

Despite our games tending to be power heavy, I really prefer just being a good ol’ VT.

I think actually playing mafia has made me a little better at reading people irl, to some extent, at least in terms of figuring out their motives.

I mean, if we're kind of moving into reminiscing ... for whatever reason Bastard Paranormal 2 always stands out in my mind.  It wasn't, probably, my best game, but it was wild and fun.  Mostly, I think, because of Meph's excellent setups with normal Paranormal games and then ... adapting that into a weird bastard game.

I can't, per se, say it was my favorite game, but it was by far and large the most memorable one.

Super low effort, really. Problems don't show up very often, and half the time when they do it's someone Toady is already dealing with.

Most of my use of the mod powers is stuff like editing the OP of various important threads and making stuff sticky.

Glad to hear that BP2 was a memorable game for you! Bastards can be kind of tricky to make fun and interesting, and I'm not always successful at it. But I think overall I've managed to do pretty well with them. And I enjoy the extra flexibility they provide.

Oh, and for anyone who's interested and isn't already there, I have a Mafia discord I set up.

Playing this game has definitely made me a lot more sensitive to other people's moods and more strategic in solving social problems.

Just saw this old comment from Vector... 12 years ago:

Where are all the games?

Subforum died.  I'm trying to kick up the activity again.

The subforum has be dying since it began: what is dead will never die!

Would anybody be opposed if we put a Paranormal into sign-ups ASAP?

Moving this out of the game thread and to where it actually belongs, yeah this was a randomly-created PUG doing leveling dungeons (I’m doing it to get better accessories for the end-of-base-game story dungeons) and the tank went from one big pull to the next and tugged them all into the boss room while I was low on mana. Without voice comes I had no way of yelling at him or telling the team to back out of the boss chamber and let him die, so we just kind of all died.

And amazingly, that was still the better of the two tanks I got the privilege of playing with today, the other one would just proximity-aggro’ed enemies so when I threw a heal on him they’d all aggro onto me and I’d have to run away ::)

How fast are you at typing? I know it sucks but it's fully possible to type callouts like that in text chat, and you might be suprised how good DPS is at responding to it, especially ranged DPS because they're standing back behind you most of the time and most MMOs have your chat show both in the chat log but also over your character's head.
