The Wolf Game

DastardlyOldMan

Snow? What's that again?

I should stay out of a game starting this weekend; I should ("should") have home broadband set up on Tuesday.

DastardlyOldMan

Just let a new flat, and I won't have home broadband for another . . . 11 days

, but after that, I'd be eager to get back in here (granted, playing on CAD-time, but I think I can manage).

DastardlyOldMan

If you get a moment, could you kill me off, so that I can observe from the sidelines? Cheers!

DastardlyOldMan

Anyone else seeing slowness on the site for the last ~7-10 days? It's been taking me 20 seconds to load a page (which made GM'ing ugly).

DastardlyOldMan

I don't have the full details yet (I haven't officially been offered the position yet - have to wait xx days for it to be posted locally before they can hire a dirty Yank), but basically an augment to the existing team back in Dayton. Someone who can work closer with the London and Amsterdam offices...

DastardlyOldMan

Actually, my first responsibility is to build up a team in London, so I'll have lots of job openings . . . identity, authentication, and entitlement software engineers with lots o' AWS services, caching, & Ping Federation OTS software.

DastardlyOldMan

Boards should be open - I've passed the GM hat over to rekard.

Should be getting my moving orders by this time next week, so by Turkey Day, I expect to be a ~temporary resident of the UK.

DastardlyOldMan

Stand by for me? I've got two role PMs yet to pick up (three, actually, but one of them's already posted here. . . )

DastardlyOldMan

Day 0 is up and running; let me know if you can't see things. Roles will get assigned and Day 1 will start tonight.

Well f#ck... I guess my idea for Nanowrimo has been done after all.

I'm in your head man - In Your Head.

Someone, please please please give me directions out of here.

DastardlyOldMan

Since we haven't had a game for a bit, and since I'm still in limbo regarding my move/job situation (and going 100% stir-crazy), and since I've still got the GM hat, I'm going to use my time to allow you to amuse me once again. Theme and narrative will be whatever-strikes-my-fancy that day, which mi...

DastardlyOldMan

Condolences, ICB - never easy to deal with.

DastardlyOldMan

So, I've been wandering around for a year now, and it's been everything that I hoped it would be. Lots of great experiences, great people, great sights. I did hit some burnout on moving place to place so often (four days or a week was the norm for one spot, two weeks about the maximum), and I've bee...

DastardlyOldMan

Roles are sent, Day 0 should be open. Yell, scream, and writhe in horror if you didn't get a role PM and were expecting one, or if you can't see the appropriate stuffs.

DastardlyOldMan

Still fighting with the power chart a bit; bear with me for another day or two, folks (it will totally be worth it!)

DastardlyOldMan

EIGHT YEARS! Man, you guys are old.

Ars thread is up as well.

DastardlyOldMan

Tony Stark should have his toys.

Ebeneezer McCoy read the summons one more time, and sighed. Now, of all times? Well, it was the prerogative of Merlin to perform the renewal ceremony, but damned if he couldn't have picked a worse time. The Black Council was getting desperate, and Hell knew that the ceremony would be just what they ...

DastardlyOldMan

Yeah - I'm slacking (partially - building up the table of elements and powers ahead of time for this game), but I can at least get a signup thread going.

DastardlyOldMan

I feel like a vampire myself right now - night is day and day is night and winter turned to summer. I'll break that tie up with an

Someone needs to be the default Day 2 Lynch. Insert your favorite Christopher Moore titles here.

DastardlyOldMan

Yeah, after watching Zark's game, I knew I wouldn't play one, but learned a lot just from the sidelines. Hope you picked up some new strategy and ideas, and glad you enjoyed it. I think you made the right choice to clear your signal out of the noise, although that's always tough to do.

Hey hey! Welcome back, amigo.

DastardlyOldMan

Not sure that I can guarantee a connection - out for now, but I might jump back in. Are you thinking about 48-hour days (those give me a higher chance of wandering into some kind of phone network)?

DastardlyOldMan

Game 11 (also, there were no wolves in that game), but I don't see any mention of the forum in a quick read through of Day 1. Damn, some names in there that we haven't seen in a bit.

DastardlyOldMan

Wow - congratulations and condolences. It sounds like she lived a full life, and that's all any of us can really ask for. In terms of doing anything to help, there's not much that can ever be done in these situations, other than lending a shoulder. I've always had a difficult time processing grief (...

DastardlyOldMan

Woohoo - knock 'em dead (well, if you're a wolf, that is).

DastardlyOldMan

Absolutely, go for it.

DastardlyOldMan

21 May sounds just fine to me; I'd suggest we continue with the "if all votes aren't in by 24 hours, extend by 24 hours" mechanic that we've been using a bit of late, to keep WoGs down. I'm definitely in, will make sure I'm near civilization around that time.

DastardlyOldMan

Think that I found the original Village. There were *not* a lot of Villagers (but there was a winery across the street). https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3pTQJsdSlclv885zDaXlD7j12MI_dsz1d4bdlhrj8SnvVB6bPiTC-4QAKX14qqHlEsaJOV6w0VkzFUossipdmQVG72WSa6oR6PN_Hvop1hEPYX3uRoi9lNvC2vKuFCbBf4mmkEklfg=w2400

A game starting mid June wouldn't be possible either, perhaps?

I'm traveling for a couple of years or thereabouts.

Not here - no way that I have the time to commit to a game of that caliber, and I'm going to be in and out of wifi range quite a bit.

DastardlyOldMan

On the one hand, I'm a little jealous - just because you're in the middle of it all doing what (I highly suspect) you love, and orchestrating the whole madness to bend to your whim (or maybe having your whim bent around the madness a touch). On the other hand, I'm getting ready to go hike up around ...

DastardlyOldMan

This gets tricky, because we've gotten what looks like probably the ~first two wolves, so looking back to Day 3 or so isn't going to do us much good. I kind of see what rekard is saying about Admetus, but the timing of it doesn't sync for me - in order for Admetus to be a wolf, he'd have to have bee...

DastardlyOldMan

No - just getting into the mindset of "people who would target FCM" a bit, and since she was targeted at Level 1, we have some of that info available.

DastardlyOldMan

I'll agree with Aldax ; as I mentioned earlier, he'd be one of my main conversion targets if I were converted. I'm also considering who would've converted FCM first - both JRS and Ryvvn are out of the game, so it's not pointing to them. In the first iteration of this game, who was the driver for mau...

DastardlyOldMan

I actually agree with FCM on this one - LoL is the right time for any info we can get, even though a seer in a conversion game is less useful. Um Dom? Scroll up. FCM, unless I'm wildly misreading things. Of course, if I'm not misreading it, and you two are chatting elsewhere, I might have to consid...

OK - the proper response during that game was to

No escape from reality.

Ha! So these are all lazy vig shots, in that the targets are all still alive, eh?

Well, if we're going to be lazy about it, I can do that. We should totally lynch a wolf.

DastardlyOldMan

I feel like I've got nothing, here. The Day 3 voting still makes me wonky, and the Day 4 voting isn't much better (especially with the wolf not voting). I suspect that we've been giving the wolves little choice in the matter - that's the only way I can explain the lack of self-defense voting that we...

DastardlyOldMan

Guh - no discussion in my overnight, eh? I'm really tempted to go back to Visigoth today, but I don't have a great read anywhere. Aldax is feeling a little iffy to me - he waited until sphenodont posted before voting, and looks like he was setting up to throw some shade my way, but he came out, tone...

Just glad everything's relatively OK, Zark, and happy to have you back (even on a limited basis) to entertain us. Now - dance for us.
