Oh ##(), two posts and already reminded of THAT one.  *sigh* I still wish I got to finish it.  I don't even have the notes.  Don't even want to see the final posts on that game.  It's like knowing the only reason why someone burned your house down is because you were too lazy to lock the door.  I really feel bad about leaving you guys hanging like that without at least a replacement mod.

(well also feel bad about how it went.  The whole thing is a broken mess)

In any case, missed you guys.

Vector: this is the first time since 2009 that I've been able to really sit down and let myself settle in.  It hasn't been a bad few years, but it's been...messy.  It honestly still is.  I KNOW I don't have any means to play a game.  I'm not sure I'll be able to host anything (though I very much would love to). 

My mind itches though. 

Meph: wonderful!  I have just about the whole of it mentally designed (it doesn't have too many moving parts).  I'll write it down and send it over.

There's also a few other items in my head, mostly fixed versions of older games, but blah I don't even know how the current status of the forums are.. other than that there's far fewer games running.  Not sure if it's a lack of hosts/ideas or a smaller player base.  Rather not jump in and flood everyone with goofball ideas.

Well... Nice to meet you Dakarian.  I'm the new kid on the block.

Oh and...hi.. been a little while.

Holy crap.

We thought you were dead. At the very least, we were making jokes about it.

Good to see you, griffin, and glad you found your way here. 

Don't be dazzled by the others, though.  For someone who 'wrote the book' on hunting, I tended to fail at it a great deal more than most.  They also seem to have hidden the mass of games I made that fell into ruins. 

Still, I'll be happy to help if you need anything. 

Jim: I'll be sure to search through the archives for them.  They sound like a hoot.

Well playing or no the increased/returned interest into this sub-forum will really help it keep going. Hope you enjoy what you see. Welcome back kiddo. There's tea and punch in the corner. Probably... Maybe...

Yeah, a lot of why we don't have so many players is that those who were playing got old enough that they now had to contend with things like jobs (me) and midterms (Pandar), and we haven't had that much new blood that stays around... plus the absence of new mods.  I can barely handle 1 game nowadays, let alone 8, hoho.

Wow, it's like the clock has been dialled back three years. Bellsounder was an amazing game; alas, I joined too late to be a part of any of your games, but I did at least keep them as examples.

Partly also why the ICs are no longer working as well as they did before.

Admittedly, our games have gotten a bit too fucking serious-mode.  Even thematically.

Yeah. I've been pondering an enforced 'nice' game, just to try and dial back the vitriol a bit on the subforum.

So lynches become hugs while NKs become... also hugs, and saying 'fuck' gets you modhugged?

Hehe. Not quite to that level. But things like personal attacks and whatnot would be prohibited. You can attack people, you can call them scum, but none of the personal attacks and horrible behavior that Great Temple devolved into.

I could always host another pun-themed game if I could get the inspiration, though Mafia Salad was probably the crowning moment of my punnity here.

Oh hey, that was my first game on this forum.

I don't see the point of making a game purely for the sake of flavor. If it's a vanilla mafia with a separate novelette describing each role, lynch and NK, then however well this novelette may be written, it's still a vanilla mafia.
