[Hood's Path]

I'm around-no one else seems to be.

Not sure if I actually believe GLs reveal. The vig aspect of it makes sense, it's the BP part I have trouble with. If scum hit a BP, I find it rather hard to believe they wouldn't try to kill that person the next night-because BPs are usually given to power roles.

Also if the scum had say an extra one shot vig(like in Tyranny of Zhuo game) or anything like that it'd be easy to withold and claim.

So yeah, one half of me's saying the reveal(particularly the vig part makes sense-wiht three kills and all) but the BP part just doesn't seem to add up.

I dont know, there's been several occasions where scum have switched after a kill failed. And it's more likely in a game like this where their biggest priority is to go after the othe scum faction. Unless the killer(s) felt it was likely that the SK had been given a BP, they would probably have switched to someone they felt was more likely to be the SK. Added to the possibility that it was a healer that had kept GL alive (guard and healer had been discussed way more than a possible BP after night ended) they might not have risked another failed kill. Like I said before, the fact that noone has countered is probably the biggest telling point for me and I'm not completely amazed that GL survived the following night.

I dont really see what something like the possibility of scum having an extra vig really has to do with this.

Also - Woo, the board is back up, hope some more people arrive sometime soon.

[Galain]

For those of you who maybe didnt notice - Hetan says the forum upgrade will happen in about two hours from now. I dont think that gives everyone enough time to find out what's going on, and it definitely doesnt give us enough time to form a consensus on what the course of action for the next day or two will be.

Anyway if you dont have it, the temporary board is at http://z10.invisionf...m/malazanempire, hopefully everyone either sees this or knows about it already.

When did the board go down? I was unable to connect from about 4pm yesterday but other people seem to have been able to post. WTF?

Just rushed back early from my parent's home thinking that might be the problem but it seems to affected others, but at different times.

Anyway, SK dead is brilliant.

I shall be back in a few hours.

[Ruse]

Well thats good we managed to get the SK out, so weve only got one lot of scum to worry about now.
I will look back over the thread after the downtime hopefully

[D'riss]

So when is the forumpocalypse gonna go down?

[Path-Shaper]

Hey all, PB here... no clue about the boards being down or whatnot... but they are up right now and I dunno how long it will take them to resolve the upgrade.

For now, consider the timer effectively stopped at 36 hours left in the day (essentially right when the day started yesterday). I don't really want to handle moving the game because I have no admin powers, so the game will continue here is limited capacity until I know for sure that it's stable, when the timer will start up again.

[Galain]

Based on Hetan's warning it should be happening now. I'm not sure if anyone really knows what's going on right now.

I say we put the game on pause until the new board is up and start again with the timer reset to the start of today, all of this disruption is really hurting the game.

Crosspost with PB - do we keep playing, or do we wait until everything is stable again?

You can talk about the game IMO, vote, etc. But I have the timer stopped and you should expect the board to be offline at some point. My updates may be sporadic today, too.

So just consider it like a normal weekend break... the game goes on, but the clocks aren't running.

[Hetan]

Sorry to mess with your good time guys. We have a technical hitch and are trying to resolve it. The forum will not be closed until we are ready to reboot, but I think as Path-Shaper has already said - it would be good to close the game (postpone) for a little while. We will do our best to be as quick as we can, but these things are never as easy as they sound

[Path-Shaper]

No problem, Hetan. Do what ya gotta do.

[Galain]

No problem at all, rather get it done right. The potential shinyness and lack of IPS Errors far outweighs the slight inconvenience to us.

Ok, with the timer frozen I guess we can still try get a bit of discussion going, but I think a lynch is a nono until at least after everyone has been online, possibly even until the board has been properly reset.

[Serc]

Checking in. Forum was down yesterday; down again later today apparently. =(

[D'riss]

heh
well, the death of the SK means finding scum becomes a more pressing concern than before.

I'm really unsure of where to look next now.

as someone mentioned earlier, the alleged Serc-Emu connection becomes invalid now.

which means we eirther go back to looking at Galain, as the sole surviving person that's been pressured in some way for the last 3 days, or we look somewhere completely different.,

I'm so confused about this forum update. I seemed to have problems yesterday earlier than every one else. I was at my parent's home at the time but have never had a problem connecting there before. And, apparently, according to Apt there will be a different address when the board comes back up, but I can't find a post with that address on it.

As for the game, I am also v. confused now Whilst the events of last night certainly don't CI Galain, I am less sure now.

[Serc]

tbh I would've liked to keep the SK around longer--at the least, we know the SK can only win when it's 2 people left. If we eliminate all the scum, that leaves 1 person to decide the game on a vote.

Otoh, with the SK gone, the scum can now win whenever they have a voting majority--out of 13 players that's probably 2-3. We don't know if we've hit a symp, but if we haven't (WCS as always) then today could be D-Day.

Straight to MalazanEmpire.com (without the /IPBForum) and click the forums link. Hetan or one of the admins will probably update the link.

Cheers. That's actually what I do at the moment so I guess I wouldn't have noticed the change unless people were talking about it!!

Also:

@Hetan, please do not think I'm moaning about the change, anything you do to improve the place has my full support.
