Are we going to create a culture then of players not willing to sign up unless the GM publishes their exact methods of how they distribute their setup? I feel like were just creating doubt and retconning a decade of games from this forum, casting doubt on the results of years of games, and throwing ...

I think there is just so much misunderstanding happening here. As well as assumptions. Ive never adopted a hard line stance that if some player has been vt too many times in a row I would deliberately alter that to force them to be mafia. I dont pick individual battles within a rand to decide someth...

I only think that the game would be better with more oversight now that I know the general sentiments on randomization that you stated and quoted. How do you feel knowing this has always been how it is, and you were just blissfully unaware? I don't think it's super common, but it's a tool in the GM...

the result is still random, im just allowed to see a spread of possibilites and choose one. I dont find that to be a flawed way to do things. Truly, the fact that you think this is not flawed (i.e., randing three times and picking your favorite) is a big concern. I believe that the whole point of t...

A Mafia game is a production event. There is a cast of characters, a plot, an engine and all things therein run through its director whose first duty is to provide a fun, fair, and high quality game. I dont think we need more micromanagement into the GMs on this forum. but we have a kouncil who can ...

I can tell you from past experiences that I have been in games where I suspected I was not randomly assigned what I ended up with. But I also didnt care, and its quite the accusation to just claim the GM rigged the game right? I dont have any actual proof it happened. From the other side of the hat,...

Proposal 11: All setups must be randomized by a kouncil member to avoid GM involvement in the setups distribution and rng. That kouncil member must not be a player or co gm, or gm in the game, and will not be a sub either. (if you feel inclined to enforce this standard here is a proposal) Officially...

As was stated in discord, I think the following opinions reflect responsible GMing standards that are intended to provide the least amount of handpicking or tampering. I support where a GM gets either 1-2 adjustments, or up to 3 rng rolls -brainbomb I will admit i have fully rerolled setups in very ...

Who is hungry for more?

dilly dilly!

While I agree in principle that LOTR is limited, evidentally there are wings of barely canon and not even canon material at all that are starting to come into play. Rings of power, War of the Rohirram, Search for Smeagol. Not that im a huge fan of the non canon or barely canon; but I see more potent...

Hes talking about creating a free university where people can finish degrees they may have started years ago and they would get to have their credits recognized. This is a very incredible idea, and then he ruins it by adding that this will be the new recognized form of accreditation for all governme...

This sounds like some nazi Germany shit on the rest of this page. But this line made me chuckle.

"It will be strictly non-political, and there will be no wokeness or jihadism allowed—none of that's going to be allowed. "

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47/agenda47-the-american-academy Under the plan I’m announcing today, we will take the billions and billions of dollars that we will collect by taxing, fining, and suing excessively large private university endowments, and we will then use that money to endow a new...

please refrain from making crashing accusations on the forum. It hurts the bots feelings

i should add that the planet corrects itself simply by making humans die. And thats the future you get to enjoy regardless

Yes I think that simply claiming nature is going to correct epic level damages done by fossil fuels and coal being gurgled into the atmosphere is a direspectfully moronic opinion to have. The damage is real, the extent of which man made fuckery has fucked the planet is beyond undeniable. Shame on an...

The process removes Carbon Dioxide emissions from the air we breathe and converts it to stone or stores it underground for 10,000 years. This seems brilliant.

Is this the solution to reversing climate change from man made sources? if every country were to build these mammoth carbon capture centers could we actually save Earth from the impossible problem of too much carbon dioxide emission?
