That could also work. It should only be done if we don't have a new player willing to do it, though.

nah dude what, I was only serious in the game :x
Just saw this, and had to post it for Nin1000 - Commander Holly from Youtube went to AnimeExpo as Brewster from Animal Crossing. It's kind of adorable.
Based Crab, what dost thou think about having two dead threads in a Mafia game? Per my previous post?
I always thought you were jokeful in the game.

If a player is definitely dead and has no chance of returning to the main thread, then I'd prefer they joined the community dead thread (presumably, this would be being Banished to the Shadow Realm). If there is a chance a player or group of players could be revived, they need to be kept separate from the community thread because of spoilers, so that would need a seperate dead thread, or even just no thread at all if you want to make sure they can't communicate. I would prefer use of the latter is kept to a minimum, as it's less fun for players and good for the community, but it can be an engaging mechanic in small doses.

That seems like it then! I'll definitely do that if my theme gets the green light (and the players) o:
What's the MH stand for, Retro?
Metal Head.

Thought about it, but I thought others might enjoy it as well.
Years and years ago I tried to launch a website called Midnight Gamer, it was originally going to be a review site, then it was briefly a webcomic.
Anyway, I made my PSN and Xbox accounts as Retro from MG. Thus: RetroMG.
Also, hey, my name change came through!
Just messing with ya!
How did it happen so fast? I had to wait like two weeks for my name change to pass through.

G and H... the keys are like right next to each other. I mean, literally.
I messaged Cyan, 'cause he's the mod I know best (from the Nanowrimo threads.) I guess he had time?
Hey man, I'm not making fun of you...

Right? What's a dragon without scales?
Nothing, that's what.

So we haven't returned to this yet:
Can we discuss what's acceptable in the context of quoting something from your role, or any PM in general? This might apply to quicktopic chats to some degree as well. For example, I made up a role claim but put it in quote tags in the same general format MattyG sent them. Were the quote tags bad? Copying his format? I'd prefer to know where the line is on this
Here's my example, specifically: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=169650113&postcount=2782.
Note that the actual content of that quote is basically made up. I pretty much had my role PM opened in a different window while I typed out a fake role claim in MattyG's format.
So was that cheating? Bending the rules? Completely fair play?
This partly comes about due to my desire for consistency and preference for non-themed games. This is probably a tangent, but if I want to fake role claim something, I'd prefer to be able to say "I'm a Town Cop" regardless of what Theme is being run. As soon as I have to start incorporating fluff, the games loses some of it's purity, and it puts new players and people unfamiliar with the theme at a disadvantage.

The only time the direct quoting thing is really trouble is if there's a role multiple people have, where they don't already know each other, and that text isn't public. If the ordinary town role PM is in the OP it removes basically all these problems and Launchpad can't cheat anymore.
I missed whatever launchpad did, apparently.
Do you call my role claim up there a direct quote? Here's an example:
MattyG said:
Are one of those better than the others?
During the game we had people asking for specifics from the PMs. It's hard to emulate the fuzziness of personal-speech online when every bit of your posts can be scrutinized forever. Not that I'm necessarily pro-forging but I don't think treating the game 1:1 is always the wisest course of action.
I do agree it's at odds with flavor though.

this. Role name is fine, paraphrasing the role description is fine. That's it though.
and we always have a house rule that you cannot read your role card to anyone either, since even the phrasing can be pretty telling.
So using my example above, and assuming it was my ACTUAL role, and not a lie, would it be okay to copy/paste a section without quoting?
Hey guys, I'm a Bothan Spy. This is what my win condition says: You win when <name> survives the game and their faction wins.
Edit: Few others posted. I don't think anyone will disagree with players paraphrasing stuff. I'm fine with it if that's where we draw the line. There's just a little too much gray area CURRENTLY.

I used to like you.
Now I just don't know anymore.
what..... what was that?
Like they have to hide something. Gonna have to vote them out first.
I'll never change mine, Tim EA ISIS.
Imagine if we all changed our names secretly before each game so couldn't use previous game behavior as indicators of anything.
Everyone wants to be new and fresh for the new game
i dont know how to shorten my name any furthter , since i think there will be a GAF member with "nin" as a name

Seriously. Its gonna make it harder to account for old playstyles in newer games.
At the least can we frown upon getting names changed in the middle of games? I feel like thats a bit too much unnecessary chaos.

It's the only way.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread too much; I got back from Comic Con on Sunday and have been cramming for tests ever since. So are we looking to do Archer for a fact, then? And if so, will it be one huge game or Archer and something else, like Blarg's proposed Gravity Falls one?

None of the games are a sure thing yet, we're still sorting that out.
That would be a fitting name for the Call of Cthulhu game.
