I was right!
Gah!
I do have to ask, Nerjin, why did you out in that shorten?

[Nerjin]

What do you mean?

[Rolepgeek]

I mean, what was the shorten for? They weren't necessary. It was just one way the game could end.

Also, I nearly flipped out when birdy threw that shorten without anything else to it.

Why? That shorten ended the game.  I'd have taken the opportunity to taunt everyone if it'd been me.

I agree, I was kind of confused by the shorten as well.  Actually using the shorten to end the day is just asking for scum to quickhammer.  The intent behind the new rule was to give a minimum 24-hour period for reactions to new votes.  The shorten should only be used as a tool to prevent gaming the system, otherwise let the 24-hour timer run out.  No reason to rush the lynch as town.

[Nerjin]

Rereading it... I don't see why I did it.

For some reason I thought that the game could only end Via shortens.

As the rule was originally discussed at the start of the thread, yes, the day could only end via shortens.  The 24-hour timer is my own addition my own modification of Dariush's proposal, specifically to provide Town a safe means to prevent scum from shorten-hammering.  It's been in the OP since the beginning, and I did point it out at the start of Day Four.

Seems I wasn't sufficiently clear on the intent of the rule.  My apologies.

EDIT:  Misremembered the conversation.  Saw I stole the idea from Dariush on rereading.  Corrected attribution.

Had a good time. Pleased to see that 2 of my three suspicions were correct. It was clever for Birdy to throw IG under the bus, though; if he hadn't, I would have pressed a lot more on day three, Squill at least probably wouldn't be lynched.

When will the next BM be starting, you think?

[Okami No Rei]

Zombie Urist said he'd start sign-ups sometime today, over in the newbie thread.

Vanilla mafia is really the only type of mafia I like.
Am I allowed to play in the next bm?  Either as a beginner or as an IC?

[Imperial Guardsman]

Birdy, what the FUCK?!
You BUSSED ME?

I believe so. I went into more BM's than I should have. Granted if you'd like I wouldn't be adverse to setting up a vanilla mafia game using this set up with maybe something else thrown in so that the new players can still have the spot. Maybe an intermediate mafia? Hm...

[griffinpup]

DO IT NERJIN!

I'd appreciate it, at least.

[Nerjin]

I might. I'd have to run it by the group. I'm thinking a Disney Villians Mafia would be pretty fun to go with due to "Hellfire" being repeated on my CPU for the past day or two.

[Rolepgeek]

Birdy, what the FUCK?!

You still won.
Doesn't matter if you died or not, you still won.

[lordnincompoop]

Birdy, what the FUCK?!
You BUSSED ME?

And you act like you're so shocked. Bussing is perfectly normal play - especially when your partner ends up being a lynch target.

Don't get lynched next time.
