I'm Canadian myself - but I remember hearing on the radio on the way to work. Are MUD's still around or have they pretty much been supplanted now?

There are still MUDs. I know of one discworld themed MUD and one high fantasy (I think) called Achaea that I played for literally one day.

Look Under The Rock
Oct 20, 2007

here is the problem

Merk is lobbying for the boon by talking about how pro town he'll be, even if he's scum when he knows FULL drat WELL that the only one who is guaranteed to benefit from it is him. There is no guarantee that this boon will be something that can be used to benefit town. It only benefits merk, who has straight up said that he will use a boon to his own benefit to earn town cred.

The biggest problem with that is that it will work, it's already working, people are trying to boon him when they should be voting his scummy rear end for getting all grabby and trying to play it off like he gives a poo poo about town. The way he is speaking is NOT town. He is not thinking about town's best interest, he is looking out for himself.

Give it to somber because he is not merk

No, I just don't like your play style because you are a bully and generally get what you want through brute force. Kind of like you're doing right now. You don't use reason, you just dog people until they follow you and generally it happens really fast because they don't want to be on your bad side or pick a fight with you. Kind of like right now.

Yeah I don't know why people think this is going to be verifiable. Basically Merk is setting himself up to receive all the boons in the game and that is a pretty dangerous thing that's happening if he's scum or possibly third party with a win condition based on receiving boons

Because you picked a post that wasn't about my argument and went all trap sprung and then went "YOU HAVE BEEN SILENCED" and it was literally exactly what I was talking about in that post

But my argument is that no, I don't believe your claim, iirc you said it was easily testable and now you're distancing from that, and I think you have an ulterior motive for wanting boons that is Not Town, and I clearly stated that several times. Add the fact that you're intentionally ignoring that in favor of pushing the point that I don't like your playstyle and yeah I'm p sure you're scum

If I was any other player, this would've been 11-0 in favor of booning me. It's me so it's a fight because players fear me and/or dislike me. That's what I'm fighting here.

You do NOT know that. You know that it is beneficial to you. You argued as much at the beginning of your boon begging.

quote:

My position is based on disbelief of your claim and the way it has been presented.

quote:

This is hyperbole, things are generally not unanimous in games, and I don't know any player at all who could inspire a day one unanimous boon. Also, you have now set it up that my distrust of you is emblematic of something that you have to fight against for this, when that is clearly not true because 1) you are the vote leader, 2) this is a misrepresentation of my argument and 3) what you are fighting here is a player that you have openly stated you think is town.

I will use whatever happens in the most townie way possible. If you know me, you know this is true even regardless of alignment. If I'm town, I know the best way to use it (and have a role that makes it better for us). If I'm scum, I'll use it in the towniest way possible to look town. I'm the right vote here.

If you want an example, look at what I had to do d1 of The League II. Although I can't comment on an ongoing game, that's legit.

LUTR, any particular reason you nominated Somber? At this point, Somber had 2 votes (among a few others with 1) and merk had only just started being obnoxious about getting the boon himself (and no votes at all). I can appreciate that right now I can only nominate somber as an anti-merk, but you were on him well before then.

1. Not allowed to nominate self
2. Every game I've played with Somber he's played incredibly smart so
3. In absence of any standout town reads I trust him the most with it and
4. He has pledged to have my back and has yet to let me down on that, also
5. [redacted ongoing game discussion but he knows what he did]
