KOUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENT

Kouncil have discussed the levels of toxicity at certain points during M 91 and have decided that any bans would not enhance the community. However we are sure that we are all disappointed at the immature level to which this game descended.
It is strongly stressed that no slurs of any kind can be tolerated including but not limited to race/gender/sexual orientation/religion/neurodiversity. Any occurrence will be met by immediate removal from the game together with a potential ban.
It is hoped that common sense and maturity will prevail and future games will be both enjoyable and toxic-free.

You are correct. I did not intend to state or imply otherwise.

We have some great setups, but the Kouncil thought we should do a more simple game. Jamie submitted it and I expect it will be posted for sign-ups by this time tomorrow.

Update: Due to various delays and things, I might be running the next game. Setup has been submitted for review, sign-ups will follow in a day or two, once reviewed.

Everyone asking “when is next game” and “what is next game” no one asks “how is next game” and thus next game is sad… does no one care for the emotional wellbeing of Next Game? :cry:
I think you're misunderstanding the situation. Next Game is a time traveler and we need to find out where they ended up so we can go back and save them.

So to be clear; during an active game while playing as town; changing your signature to say “I am not mafia, goddammit”, is completely unrelated to that game and does not relay anything relevant to that game.
What if your signature had already said that before the game, and it continued to say that during the game?

Like for 90% of the Olympics, across more than one game, my signature was "I'm Town" but since I set it before the game started, and drew attention to it in the sign-up thread for the whole shebang, I wasn't conveying game-related information.

I've even found the avatar I made at the time.

First of all to note, it was the Annoying Orange, not any sort of pumpkin.

Second of all, clarification please:

I changed my profile picture on purpose with the intent of softing that I was the Cop (which I was not), in order to draw a NightKill. It wasn't a mishap, I did it deliberately and admitted so in the God Thread as soon as I was killed.

Your ruling says "we've opted not to ban changes during games but we will ban it if it happens again".

Could you clarify this position please?

I do not believe I did anything wrong by altering my avatar in the manner described. If I do it again, will that be considered a violation, or not? Your ruling that it isn't banned, but it will be banned, is confusing.
We had not realized you did this intentionally. This behavior is explicitly disallowed. Please do not do something similar again. I thought we were clear about this when it first came up, but if we weren't, I apologize.

There is no record of changes to profile pictures (or signatures) which makes them difficult to police. Sending messages through these means is prohibited for the same reason that out of game communication and post editing are prohibited. For now, the Kouncil ruling (that you are allowed to have fun with these things but not use them for anything game related) stands, but in light of the fact that the tool was used maliciously, we may consider a stricter ruling.
Oh shit, you're right, Ghug.

Fair Cop (quite literally). Thank you for the history lesson.

I did once, when avatars were a new thing, alter my avatar in the way I admitted above.

I had actually forgotten that. I confirm that since the above ruling was handed down, I have abided by it, and I undertake that I shall continue to do so.

Kouncil Ruling

Our position on profile pictures and signatures has been that they pose the potential to become a problem because they're indetectably editable. In particular, someone could signal new information (even after their death), or inadvertantly give the impression that they've done so. In the interest of not being draconian, we've opted to not legislate fun and ask that you please be mindful of this risk when making these changes.

There was a mishap in the last game where people believed Jamie's adding of policeman's garb to his profile pumpkin may have been a hint that he was the cop. Because this was not a widely held belief and because it was the first time, we've opted to not ban changes during games, but please consider that this happened and try to be more careful in the future, because there will be little choice but to ban it if it happens again.
First of all to note, it was the Annoying Orange, not any sort of pumpkin.

I'm just snipping this as a reminder that this is the rule on signatures and avatars:

The last solution—an outright ban—is the most sensible from an overhead perspective, but we don’t wish to be fun police, as we know you enjoy these functions. For now, we announce a new rule which bans the conveying of game-relevant information via signatures and avatars.
Contrary to previous slanders against my good name, I have never violated this ruling, and undertake that I shall continue to abide by it in future.

I may change my Avatar and Signature from time to time, as it amuses me to do so.
Ok #1
