Misc.

-Order of operations: Nullify > Revive > Vigi
-For example, the following chain could exist: (paper nullifier) targets (rock nullifier) who targets (paper vigilante) who targets (scissors reviver). In this case, the paper nullifier at the top of the daisy chain would cancel out the rock nullifier, allowing the paper vigilante's kill to go through. The scissors reviver would be dead, but his revive would still go through.
-Example 2: If a nullifier and vigilante target each other, the nullifier wins out.
-Example 3: If a vigilante targets a nullifier who targeted a reviver, the nullifier dies, but because the vigi's kill does not block the power of the person he targeted, the nullify still goes through, and the revive fails. Uh oh!
-Your team wins when your people are the last ones standing.
-Standard stuff regarding game minutia. Someone gets lynched every day phase, phantoms are in play, instas are on, no cardflips.
-You can't vigi someone who was dead at the start of the phase in case they get revived. Likewise, you can't revive someone who was alive at the start of the phase in case they get vigi'd.
-If there's a question about the game, @ me in the thread so I see it quickly.
-Be as clear as possible when using your night actions. Bolded actions and names help.
-Have fun. Looking forward to this--you guys rule!

Nullifier PM

You are the ___ Nullifier. PM me someone's name to stop their night action in its tracks...unless someone nullifies you first. Choose carefully.

In the night, BlackDragonSlayer and davy were both found dead. Bummer. Should have spent more time practicing Rock Paper Scissors.

It is now Day 1. Day 1 ends in 48 hours, on Thursday, April 25 at 20:00 Central Daylight Time.

4 hours left in Night 1!

Reminder: please copy me on all PMs. If for whatever reason you forget, forward me what you sent so I can piece it together.

[if your action is nullified, you will be privately informed that it was nullified at the end of the night phase.]

This was briefly addressed in sign-ups, but I completely forgot to add it here: if your action is nullified, you will be privately informed that it was nullified at the end of the night phase.

That is all. Carry on.

[THE GAME IS NOW AFOOT.]

A few reminders as the game gets going:
-There is no editing of posts under any circumstances. Offenders will receive phantoms and a stern talking-to by Nakah.
-Instas can occur. You can vote for yourself. No cardflips.
-Basing reasoning on forum statistics is banned.
-Please include me on all PMs with other players, as it will help tremendously in writing player analysis.
-That said, I expect to get quite a lot of PMs this game, so if you have a question about the game for me, please put "TWG QUESTION" in the subject line so I catch it quickly.

THE GAME IS NOW AFOOT. PMs have been sent. Post at will.

Because every player gets a night action, phase updates may be a little late, as I sort through the implications of any last-minute actions on any other actions. Be patient!

It is now Night 1. Night 1 ends in 48 hours, on Tuesday, April 23 at 20:00 Central Daylight Time.

Update—game will begin tomorrow evening, 4/21, at 8:00 CDT. Roles will be sent out shortly before. Get ready.

Great to see you again, K-Night!

Sign-ups are full now. Right now I'm planning to start the game sometime tomorrow night, but I'm currently on a road trip and am not certain exactly when it'll be. Stay tuned—looking forward to this!

Yeah, the on-site sheet is rough--thanks for doing this one, Sunshine music rules. Per the 35th anniversary release of the soundtrack, I believe this one is called "Proto Piranha".

20 years is huge. This site has been a presence in my life for more than 12 of those, and I still check it nearly every day. Beyond thankful for everything I've received from it over the years. Cheers to many, many more birthdays!

Nullifiers can be nullified. If the Rock Nullifier nullifies the Paper Nullifier who targeted the Rock Vigi, the Rock Vigi's kill would go through since the Rock Nullifier prevented the Paper Nullifier's nullification from going off. Whoever is "highest up the chain", so to speak, gets the final word. So if, in the above example, the Scissors Nullifier nullified the Rock Nullifier, the Paper Nullifier's nullification would go through, and the Rock Vigi's kill would be canceled.

Davy I'm thinking the answer to that should be yes--since it's a game without investigative powers, any extra information will make the game more engaging.

Is anybody in contact with whoever else answered the poll in the positive?

Should the title of this one be The Bereaved and Those Left Behind (Piano) in case someone arranges the full orchestral version down the road?

Math that is an extremely clever joke in your personal text

One spot left! If you're one of the people who said you wanted to play in the poll, now is the time!

After thinking long and hard about it I think I will cast my vote for Oricorio to be NSM's rep

And just to clarify, if you're dead entering the night phase, you can't play an action in case you get revived, right?

That's correct. You can only act once you're alive again.
