i've had plenty of games crap out. every now and then that's been due to a design flaw, but more commonly people just can't get into the game or that mafia magic never coalesces. but, i've reached a point where i'm okay with that now. my personal participation record is far from flawless. when i make anything now, i have to make it for me. i write and run games because i enjoy it personally, regardless of the outcome. yeah, more active games are always more fun to watch, but each game has an idea or a story that i want to try out. i think it's the nature of any creative endeavor that you have to accept it could fail for reasons outside your control. i totally get why people don't want to subject themselves to that though.

it was really good, i just read it again the other day, but that was all the players. snowbound and golgatha were both interesting designs and intensely flavorful games released around the same time but for whatever reason otgw was the best of them.

This is why I have been playing Town of Salem. You get all the fun of people being low effort, lovely, toxic, and generally awful and petulant. But it's all wrapped up in 20 minutes.

Shitposting has valid tactical merit and can be used to both make games more interesting and result in better performance from your side, but you need to at least be entertaining in your shitposting.

shitposting that is fun and hilarious breeds conversation and just has a general boost on the amount of fun people have which has the indirect but tangible side effect of increasing every other potential positive

shitposting that is boring, tiresome, irreverent, out-of-place, or just... sucks for no reason... just chills effortposting because it signals not giving a poo poo about the people you're playing with or the game ya'll are in

Yep. I know I'm not a funny person, not particularly anyway, so I don't poo poo-post. Don't do what you can't do.

I'd been happy, and I was happy still. For all to be accomplished,
for me to feel less lonely,
all that remained to hope
was that on the day of my execution
there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should
greet me with howls of execration.

Seduce "Mark Zuckerberg" into engaging in some steamy cybersex with you and then demand millions in blackmail money or you will post the transcripts and doom his 2020 presidential ambitions.

Nature Abhors A Vacuum


Mafia hockey epilogue, Year 3 and Year 4 are up.

Had our first retirement, at least one person make their international debut, a former scumhunter winning another stanley cup, a couple of medals, and a few folks moving to Switzerland to continue their hockey careers.

Come back for Year 5 with the 2022 Winter Olympics and I have to imagine there will be another few retirements in year 5 or 6.

Current player ages:

37: Hats, Flying Leatherman
36: Birdstrike, Bottle Knight
34: Diqnol
33: Murmur Twin, Snooze Cruise, Poque
32: Allen Wren, Jonathan Fisk
31: Asiina, CCKeane
30: Ecco, MMM Whatchya Say, Kashuno
29: PMom, PMush, Busb, Capitalist Pig
28: Podima
27: Retro Futurist, Magnus Gallant
26: Stickup
25: Quidnose
