My last classic 1990s video game-themed mafia game was pretty fun IMO, so let's try to do it again! I very quickly spat out a closed set up for 21 (!) players themed after the brilliant 1993 Sierra adventure-RPG hybrid, Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness. Hal glanced at my stupid setup and confirmed that it is bad. Please direct all complaints about the setup being bad to Hal. This Lovecraftian genre-crossing entry into a great series tells a story with elements of comedy, horror, and romance set in the Land of Mordavia, a magical valley inflected heavily with Slavic folklore and populated with creatures like the Rusalka, Leshy, Baba Yaga, and the Domovoi. This will be a mid to high power setup with some unconventional mechanics for 21 (!) players. If we can't wrangle that many I can try to downsize. I am hoping to start this game around like 12/20 or so but ya know, it's the holidays, people disappear. Whenever it fills up, I'm easy. ![]() Discord is required to play, here is the link: https://discord.gg/4GhBaakU Eliminations will be by majority vote with hammer once majority is reached. No-elimination days are possible. Rules and Regulations Boilerplate text: Standard rules apply. Discord is required to play. Please join https://discord.gg/esSkwPPj (observers also welcome). Do not edit posts except to fix pronouns. Have fun and be excellent to each other Do not quote or copy-paste out-of-thread information like moderator messages or private chats. Paraphrasing the contents of such messages is okay. Do not discuss the game with anyone outside of authorised channels. Do not fake day actions. Try not to lurk. I don't plan on enforcing cuz that ain't really my way. But I reserve the right to replace you or mod-kill you if you’re not able to participate to a degree that’s affecting the overall playability of the game (and you’re not communicating about it) Have fun and be excellent to each other, seriously Finally, and perhaps most importantly, always remember that your mental well-being is more important than a forum game. While antagonism and deceit are inherent features of social deduction games, there are lines that should not be crossed that may be highly personal. If you feel stressed out, IRL angry, or in any other way discomforted beyond what you feel is part of the game, do not hesitate to reach out and say so. Nobody will think ill of you if you have comments or concerns, or want to leave the game at any point, before the game or during the game. The following users have been suggested as points of contact if you do not feel you can reach out to the game-runner: The Traditional Games forum moderators, Leperflesh and Antivehicular; and Mafia regulars VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf and Shellception.

You have a strange feeling of deja vu. All the same you proceed, and hear a satisfying SNICK and your brains come gushing out of your left nostril, landing on the ground in front of you. Fortunately, you were holding a beaker. Your brain is now in a beaker that you are holding. Now what?

Still lol

You begin to laugh out loud while holding your brain in a beaker. Since you're standing on the corner of a street, there are several onlookers who are beyond horrified

Johnny Keats posted:Oh now I get it You attempt to get it now. You succeed. However, you are Keats and have a -5 starting debuff to making people understand you. Your “getting it” has no mechanism by which to affect material reality. Your knowledge is as a tree falling in a forest. A supernova of a lone star beyond the visible range of any other galaxy. An anti-neutrino annihilating its counterpart after the heat death of the universe. Now what?

I'm pretty sure it's an established fact that the ratio of matter and antimatter in the universe right now is mostly matter, so the final anti-neutrino being destroyed would probably happen way before heat death. If that's what you mean

When I say antimatter I mean dark matter btw

Wait hang on I’m the dang DOS prompt here, why I am I taking input from you people about what is and isn’t heat death!

It's speculative whether neutrinos can or would decay into even smaller particles even on the timescale of heat death. So you're good

Please free up more memory and try again. idk if it was just supestition but i believed the order you loaded things affected available conventional memory. and when you were only loading a mouse driver, sound blaster and emm386.exe you didn't have many options...
