I don't think there is much time remaining in the day.



We have just a bit under 7 hours left.


The majority of votes are on Sorrit, that is where the lynch looks like it is going, what kind of question is this?

Ah, but you forget that Ruse is still to pull a random name out of his ass to vote for which everyone will pile on after 30 seconds :p

I hated reading it the first time. The way everyone seemingly moved over from one lynch target to someone random within minutes.

Well guess what you guys, Telas isn't the only one up in the Northern Desert so you can forget about getting a CF from me.

Thanks Telas by the way. I was sure I was going to have to drop the Worship to do that myself.

Aaah, that seems like an empty threat we MUST look into it. Either you cannot afford Worship, you are on a Sacrosanct tile or do not want to waste any worship if you can help it.

Busy day.

vote sorrit

i think the chances of a lynch are very very slim... but its worth a shot. At least we can move the game along. Night shoulf be quick as well with the probable 2 most populous tiles being guarded >.<

Well, I won't be around for deadline, so I'm not going to change my vote in case Sorrit is faking it. In any case - you two can now go ahead an kill each other after day's end. Have fun.

In fact, does that mean you where in the Nepeth Baracks? Everyone else moved in the Hadj from the Mirror and Northern Desert, you could only be in the Desert now if you moved there this morning. Is that right?

No I wasn't on the Hadj so form whatever conclusions you want.

You couldn't have been on the Hadj AND be at Northern Desert now though could you?

I wouldn't rule anything out with this monstrosity of a game but I kinda agree with you. It would be a bit hard to do now wouldn't it?

OK guys, I am WAY behind on answering questions (Q&A PMs are priority 1) and on resolution. I know that. I hate that.

Apologies for that.

It's going to be worse, because I have to spend the evening away from phone and PC, and this time, I can't put in a midnight to 1.30 AM stint, either. Besides, I need some fucking sleep - going on 5 a night is not good for you if you do it three weeks in a row, amidst a workweek and with almost no other free time to relax and calm down.



It is not made easier by sending me PMs that go 'what, no reaction?' or 'bump' or just 'target X', or 'do X, Y, Z' without naming phases and them being conflicting abilities because they cannot be performed in one phase, leaving me to sort out the mess, and try and decipher how that can actually be made possible in a given amount of phases. Do you think that of 4 hours of resolution, I spend 3.45 of them masturbating?

So this is the point where I am going to get on my soapbox and going to break down into a howling, hair janking puddle of nerves.

USE THE FUCKING PROVISIONAL FORMAT SO THAT I CAN SEE THE FUCKING ABILITY, THE FUCKING LOCATION, THE FUCKING ITEMS, RETAINERS AND TITLES THAT MODIFY THE ABILITY (with their text), AND THE FUCKING COST IN A SINGLE FUCKING GLANCE.

IT IS SO FUCKING EASY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE THE SAME FUCKING ACTION ALL OVER AGAIN, ONCE OR TWICE ON A GAME DAY.

I know I wrote this game, but if you think I know all texts and nuances by heart, you are sorely mistaken. And I want to get things right. That means I can't resolve from the top of my head, of what I think it says. That already lead to one fiasco that couldn't be withdrawn in time.

I already made clear that not doing so makes me have to skip between 3-6 PMs for a single action.
The template I designed reduces that to 2 PMs: your action, and the relevant PM of your target. See the difference? See how much time it saves me for scrolling through 3 pages of PMs for the right person's PMs?

If you want a result FAST, make sure I can get it to you FAST. You do that by putting in a tiny fucking little bit of fucking effort yourself.
Thanks to the 5 people who do stick to the format, though. You make modding this monstrosity possible.
Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.

Tomorrow I'm going to try and put together who I think each player is a part of with some supporting evidence. I've got Amp, Atrahal and Ano done so when I get a chance I'll go through as many others as I can. It will give us something to discuss other than randomly voting for players which at this stage of the game is just stupid. Atrahal has on numerous occassions stated that he has hated jumping from target to target each and every day yet here he is doing it yet again.

Doing it yet again? Pray, do explain. I voted for Karosis (which was in line with my earlier pattern) until the alliancing went down, and then I switched to you. Surely, if I jumped from you then that would prove your point, but otherwise it doesn't, as I have actually maintained that I will NOT be switching my vote again.

Still not paying enough attention, eh?



Edit: Changed 'patters' to 'pattern'.

Awfully kind of you, it will obviously be a little biased.
