Too clarify, yes, tonight at midnight will be the end of the first day phase and the beginning of the first night phase.

Well I'm leading, so you may well not trust me, but AFAIK I have never outright lied in these games.

I'm telling you straight up - I'm one of the good guys - if you kick me you will really regret it.

In self-defence - change vote: kick Stormaen

Fine, I'll choose to believe you for now

Vote change: No Lynch to Lynch Storm

Now we have a tie again

As the time for their game drew close the Canadian Moose Squad was very anxious, their coach demanded that a player be voted off of the team. It was a very confused vote, with no player getting a discerning lead in votes over the others. But as the game drew near it was finally decided that almonaster would be the first to be kicked from the team. He attempted to reason with his team mates to move the vote to stormaen, but his plees fell on deaf ears. Except for those of Aersoldorf, who quickly changed his vote to result in a tie, saving almonasters career

No one has been kicked today.

power rules PM your choices

Edit: I hope no one was online right at the posting, aerosoldorfs post had not been registered, so a post stating that almonaster had been kicked(which contained his role) was live for about 2-3 minutes

Well, I'm not sure where to begin here.

1. I didn't see Auq's original post. But it could be inferred by a reaching mind that Almonaster is something after all. If so, I'm glad he was saved.

2. Aersoldorf's vote appears to have made the difference. But it also appears to have been late. Are we timing the vote phases just based on when you close them, Auq?

3. And if ties result in a no lynch, then I'll keep that in mind. :ph43r:

As for my reply being late - if that's the case then I'm sorry and Al should be killed out of fairness. I don't know if it's due to the settings of my profile or not, but the time stamp on my post showed me 11:04 PM, even though it was made at 12:04 AM my time. I'm not sure if it's because I've got Daylight Savings enabled in my profile, or if it's because this forum runs on Central Time. In either case, I did begin typing my post before midnight but I'm on a mobile device and can't type fast. I'd have switched votes earlier but took my youngest daughter to Jurassic World tonight and had just gotten in bed when I logged in.

When i made my post for ending the day Aerso's post was set at 11:04 making it valid, I just didnt see it the first time. Although now he says it was posted after the deadline, and looking at my post it looks like it was posted at 11:09, when I know I posted it closer to 12:15

I feel like the smartest thing to do right now would be to pause the game until we know who saw what post and how we will continue

I didn't see anything either.


I've seen a few previous hosts will post a quick comment when the phase ends saying that no votes after that count. That will give you a bit more time to write up the final details without worrying about later votes.

It seems unlikely that anyone did see it, and the Canadian way is to trust people. Please just carry on Auq.

I didn't see the mis-post in question. However, what's most bothering me right now is why everyone turned on me... :eyebrow: Hmm.

We should continue the game. It seems like no one saw Auq's initial post, and I'm not sure anyone here would lie about that simply to gain an edge. We've waited so long to play WW again. Let's just continue on and what happens happens.

Sorry for the late post here guys, my internet was on unable to connect for awhile. Sorry for assuming the worst in people, forgot about Canada rule #12: Always be nice.

So without further adoo the night phase results.

The second game of the tournament was tense, the canadian team had kicked no-one, but if the rumours were true then that meant nothing for the safety of the team or anyone on it. It seemed almonaster was especially cursed, he managed to needlessly absorb a number of slap shots heading right for DLP's thick, protective padding. The coach quickly pulled him off, fearing the worst. But Almonaster refused. He was the defensemen! If he wasn't out there then DPL could take a hit and they would be forced to go to their untested rookie reserve goalie, Hahiha. Some could say it was an earlier concussion that caused al to skate into the boards and overtop of them, in a move that could only be described as a kick-tackle, some could even risk saying he was pushed...

The career of #88, Almonaster, the coaches assistant (seer) has been ended.




For the timings of these posts, I've decided we will end the votes when i close them. There needs to be a way to punish the bad GM...
Im also moving the close time to 10pm EST, seems like it might be easier for some people to put in last minute saving votes. It will also lead to a better rested and more rational GM. So to be clear the next day phase starts now and will end 10pm on june 17th (wednesday)
