9 months or so.

I'm pregnant with tropes.

Make a big and beautiful baby, Pandar :3  We'll love it even if its face would make a gargoyle cry.

I don't usually read mafia games; I much prefer meta-discussion about the games themselves. The analysis of how and why people acted the way they did fascinates me.

This game, however, I read with the intention of familiarizing myself with the participants of Pandarsenic's Trope Mafia, though soon I found myself utterly enrapt in the flavor you've written. The characters and their backstories were of such quality that I read the entire thread in a single sitting. I suspect it's due to the procedural nature of the tale -- from the outset, neither the players nor the writer knew the outcome; the descriptions of the lynchings in particular, while gruesome at times (and necessarily so!) crawled beneath my skin and the imagery they evoke is truly haunting. I rather hope I'll be able to write as well as you do someday, and I eagerly await your next venture.

Thanks so much, you guys.  I'll remember your words when it comes time to run the next one.

Finally done reading it all.  Glorious.  I really lack the words to describe my admiration of what you've put together here, and my appreciation of the time you spent on it.  Thank you for running it, and thank you for finishing it.

absolutely. i'm sooooooo glad that this got bumped, reading it was a complete wonder. vector... you can bring the words every bit as well as you can bring the numbers, if you know what i'm saying. this is fantastic, thrilling stuff, all the more special because you took the pace of the game, and used it to give real life to your (already astutely crafted) characters. and that you managed to do it so quickly... yeah, that's pretty awesome. pretty. damn. awesome.

write that book. i want to read it

also, this needs some manner of preservation. sticky for great justice, anyone?

I frickin' love you guys, seriously.

Do we want to make some sort of archive of "notable games?"  I was thinking it might be a nice addition to the subforum--just a list of games that were particularly awesome for some reason or another, whether it be mechanics, flavor, or particularly amusing gambits.  It'd be a good introduction for newbies into who we are and what we do here.

that would hit the spot, yeah. assuming there's enough games to go 'round :p

I'm pretty sure there is... I'll go make a thread to see what people want to nominate, and then I suppose I'll throw them at the bottom of the Signboard or somesuch.

Of course, then my crazy will be preserved for all posterity, but... whatever.  Who cares >_>


Aaaaand... Here's the link.
