Reposting for top of the page: > [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > Well, this game will be interesting, if not for the fact we have a bunch of players from another site. I wonder if the styles of play that our and their group’s used to will clash? If they’re different in any way, that is. If you haven’t already, you should check out the link I provided to the game I’m basing this on. Definitely different styles. Also different terminology – I’m thinking seriously about providing a short glossary when this game starts, so that when Episkey (for example) posts, “I fakepeeked him wolf to provide seer cover, donuts,” people have some idea what he’s talking about. 🙂 Also agree with Suburban that I probably won’t ask for in-thread PM confirmation before the game begins – but if people would like to PM me back to confirm when they’ve received theirs, that wouldn’t be a horrible thing. Will probably send them out sometime this afternoon. ---

I’ll bite. What does “I fakepeeked him wolf to provide seer cover, donuts,” mean? I’m assuming a guy fake claimed investigator and faked a result so scum would target him. What does the “donuts” mean? ---

> [@Astral\_Rejection](#): > > I’ll bite. What does “I fakepeeked him wolf to provide seer cover, donuts,” mean? I’m assuming a guy fake claimed investigator and faked a result so scum would target him. What does the “donuts” mean? “donuts” – Of course; or, the foregoing was an obvious statement. A shorthand turn of phrase popularized on the other board by one of its more prolific posters. “donuts” stems from the acronym “ldo,” which in turn stands for “like duh, obviously.” The more you know. 🙂 Oh, and you were right about the rest of it, donuts. ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > That one was actually kind of impressive, in a disastrous sort of way. By the time I finally got lynched, I couldn’t possibly argue against it – I had helped scum so much that it would be almost an insult _not_ to lynch me. :smack: Are you talking about Dr. Seuss Mafia? Because Ed had a hell of a lot to do with that. And that was the epic game of epic Scum-ness, that’s all I have to say about that. I was the mod and I watched the whole thing go down like :eek: ---

I was the mod and I watched the whole thing go down like :eek: Wasn’t Dr Seuss Mafia the one time in the Doper/Raffer/Other spinoffer games that a Mad Bomber (belly-starrer) won? If I’m remembering correctly, that made all the epic Scumminess for naught. ---

Yes, mlerose won as the Star-bellied Sneech, which did make all the epic Scumminess for naught. On the other hand, Ed was truly epic in that game, winning or not. ---

> [@Dancecat](#): > > Will this version have n0 actions? There will not be any n0 actions. I think the original version had them in part to make sure that everyone was still around, but hopefully that won’t be a problem. PMs going out soon. ---

Actually, I changed my mind. **There will be some n0 actions.** This will give me a chance to see how a few things work without substantively affecting the game. **ANNOUNCEMENT:** Everyone is required to submit a n0 action. _ **Once you get your PM, please send me the name of your n0 target.** _ Most of you will not have valid n0 actions (everyone will have valid n1 actions), but I need everyone to send me something regardless. Also remember that you may not submit the same name two nights in a row. If you do, the target for your night action on the second night will be chosen at random (also known as “randed”). Again, once you receive your role PM, please send me the name of your n0 target. ---

> [@Normal\_Phase](#): > > Ed wins my eternal love for valiant townie-mind-fucking in a losing cause in that Dr. Seuss game. That was hard work. I don’t think I have it in me anymore. That fake claim and my fake claim of Paranoid Freak in a sachertorte game are my 2 favorite fake claims. ---

To wrap me head around this If A “targets” B and A is a Vig =B wakes up dead (if not protected or blocked) If A “targets” B and A is a Cop =A will receive a PM with ‘some’ information about B’s alignment (if not protected or blocked) If A “targets” B and A is a Doc =B wakes up alive (if A is not blocked or some extra mechanic is not used) If A “targets” B and A is a watcher/tracker=A will receive a PM ‘some’ information if B was targeted /targeted someone? (if not protected or blocked) A has a chance of finding out their “power” if they are a Vig,Cop,Watcher,Tracker. The Doc will be in the preverbial dark until later in the game. Now I’ve probably cornfused meself, but what did I read about death reveals ? IIRC alignment will NOT be revealed, Will Roles? It appears the Baddies have an advantage in the beginning here ---

Or will everything be in one thread? Usually everything is in one thread here on the SDMB.
