Can I fill in the dog using a No. 2 pencil? I've got no problems with it. Though, I'm not sure how you'll squeeze him into Scantron machine.

Seriously they won't help anyway. You do realize it's well within our rights at the very least to change the alignments and win conditions from what we're handed, at the least. This is why we need to do these things ONCE the game starts. Of course, the Mods are free to change win conditions and such IN GAME, but the key is once you have your roles and that's locked in- you at least point out what roles you submitted. Then once we have that, we can at least start to figure out where to go from there.... -Ie: Then perhaps we could match up Player X has a modified version of Player Y's submission, etc.... That sort of stuff. We won't know alignments and such of course, but still, the goal is to GIVE US INFORMATION. The Mods will delight in DENYING Us information, but that's what the whole point of this is. We have to work US vs. Them. I don't want to do these things until AFTER we have roles and such and at least the Mods then have stuck to giving out info. ---Though if I were a bastard mod, I'd totally then just switch win conditions midgame, and switch roles midway through to counter such actions. That's the sort of shit we need to be prepared to deal with. If you guys are coming into this with the mentality of "ooh, I can't wait to try to lynch some scum!" That's NOT what we're in for. We NEED to eliminate the chaotic factors (PFK- the term was coined during our Batman game by both of us, so we should share equal credits there- Moi and SquiDio). But we're going to need to eliminate the Mod's chaotic touch as much as possible. BTW, just a random question- did anyone submit possible SCUM Roles? As it seems so far everyones saying how they submitted this crazy scum hunting role etc.... I know that I for one did NOT submit a Townie Role.

This is everyone who has posted a "/in". (The X's are the people confirmed in NAF's list) Flying gob of doom x Hockey monkey x Koldanar x Boozahol Squid, PI (Dio) x Bufftabby x Hoopy frood x Nannook x Merestil Haye x Diggitcamera x Idle Thoughts x Darth Sensitive x Blaster Master Roosh x Kat! x Molefan1981 x Hockeyguy8435 x Catinasuit Captain Klutz Pleonast Rajaat Pedescribe Which is 22. These are the people who are "maybe" in. Pollux Oil/Atarus Hal Briston Parzival
So that makes 25 when we consider them "in". __________________________ When NAF said this: My unofficial count (unofficial because Blocky is in charge of the list) tells me we have 20 people signed up so far. I think we can handle up to 8 more, so signups will stay open for a little while longer. Don't be shy, sign on up. There were only 18 confirmed roles. However, Pollux Oil is apparently "Atarus" due to this post: These are currently the people Mr.B has reported back on. 1) FCoD 2) hockey monkey 3) Koldanar 4) Dio 5) Hoopy Frood 6) Bufftabby 7) Nanook 8) Atarus 9) Diggit 10) Roosh 11) MHaye 12) Idle Thoughts 13) Darth Sensitive 14) BlaM 15) Kat 16) molefan 17) hockeyguy So that makes 19. Which means there is at least one non-confirmed (IE: Behind our backs, unlisted) role, maybe two (If Atarus/Pollux Oil is / isn't playing ) However when NAF said : I have changed my mind. This game would work best with exactly 27 players. So if you were planning on being player number 28, you are out of luck. He then followed up with this: Which means that NAF thought there were 22 players. There were 3 players we did not know about. (If we believe that he thinks Atarus/Pollux Oil is "in", which he does) Misterblockey then said on the next day on the Nexus War forums that there were 4 slots available. After I posted my "/in", that number changed to 2. According to my count, when Misterblockey said there was "2 slots left", there had been 19 confirmed /in's. At the time, the max slots were set at 27. That means that Misterblockey was aware of an additional 6 players that we were not. So that means that at the time, NAF and Misterblockey had at least 3 secret roles and at most 6. Someone want to corroborate this? Either way, there was at least one secret role when NAF said: My unofficial count (unofficial because Blocky is in charge of the list) tells me we have 20 people signed up so far. I think we can handle up to 8 more, so signups will stay open for a little while longer. Don't be shy, sign on up. As, only 19 people had signed up.

Edit by way of post:
The master list now includes Drainbead.
So that makes 26 confirmed /in's, if we consider Pollux Oil/Atarus to be "/in".

Everyone who sent in a PM is "in". We have turned no one down, so if you PM'd blocky or any mod, you are all set. Also, the number of people that I think are "in" is posted rather prominently...somewhere. Ok, that should be enough to get you rolling. Go jump to some conclusions!

Ticker says 28/29 are in. So that leaves 2 out of the official 28 that we do not know of. Regardless of what you say, there's been some incredible fishiness going on. I expect something like this, where there was a hidden player whose objective was to trick everyone into killing one another. He was capable of creating and giving out weapons and the ability to nightkill and arousing suspicions by giving out "dreams". Noone knew what was going on. Everyone was hunting for Mafia when there were none (Although there were several reformed criminals who came up "guilty") and the only one against the town was an unlisted character. So... yeah.

Someone asked if anybody created a SCUM role. Answer: I did. I haven't had a role PM back yet from the mods though. The role kinda depends on both the scum and certain townies being completely ignorant of certain facts, so I hardly think they could give that same role to me. Frankly I don't think they'll use it at all, given that I could quite easily blow the gaff with one public post, but we'll see.
As to the role itself: I've already described it to some extent. (I made it as bizarre as possible.) I guess it could actually be used for the benefit of town with some serious modification, but it would be rather unbalanced. Guess it depends on what other roles are out there.

Man that game is freakin' genius. Too late to do something like that now I guess. Still...nice work other board. Actually, it wasn't. The Paranoia Demon literally could have done *nothing* and still have won. There was only one guy who could have a chance of finding out about the Paranoia Demon. Regardless, he left the game and there was no replacement. Even when he did, he would be insta-lynched for being a vampire when he told the town. And even if the town believed him, there would only be a flurry of invalid accusations. There was no mechanism for the Town to really win. Lynch a Demon who you can't see? I suppose a mass "No Lynch" would have sufficed. (Not giving into paranoia). But that's so out there. It's like putting an invisible button on the ceiling in the opening scenes of an FPS and expecting the player to find and press this button or die instantly in the end-game for no fore-seeable reason at all. The game depended on *ONE* person for the town to survive. And that player left. No amount of deduction or lynching could have saved the town. Not even those who survived to the end (thinking they had killed the last scum) could have won. It was half a game when the vampire was still alive and lost all semblance of actually being a game when the vampire left and there was no replacement.

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction. Yep. ^_^ Rules for surviving: 1. Mass Role claim of SUBMISSIONS. You don't have to post what you are, just what you submitted (because the mods will likely have changed parts of it). That way we at least eliminate the "closed" aspect of this game, and turn it into a "semi-closed" game. Pft, I will say right now that I will not claim. For town, for scum, for almost any reason. That just spoils the fun for me. I'm quite interested to see what the Gastards do. If and when they send me a PM, that is. Still, I'm happy with leaving mine in the air. If I do claim, it will likely be something made up on the spot. If this gets me lynched, I don't particularly mind. ^_^

We've got, um... well, there's one role left. To give you an idea, it's in the waste pile of a Bastard Mod game. It's too evil even for us, and there's no way we could...
Aw, screw it, of course we can. You're in.
