You aren't supposed to finish drinking whiskey.....you can never leave the whiskey pocket!

Thanks for modding
AniX
. For what it's worth, I was planning on doing the color gimmick regardless of alignment. It just happened that AniX decided to make that alignment-indicative this game.

But what if we had gotten our result before they decided to roleblock us!

You wouldn't have because I knew at all times what roles were outstanding that could impact your result. I had an order of operations, once all the prior actions that could impact a role were resolved, I then resolved that role. The issue only came when, having duly received a night action from a player and resolved all roles that could be resolved from that night action, the player with the night action attempted to switch the target.

FWIW, we spent like a week trying to figure out posting gimmicks so that we could be as unreadable as possible and then AniX gave us a role that was specifically designed to force coordination on who was posting.

10/10 would self punish again.

Yeah, someone else corrected it.

That does mean that I was right when I was trying to work out if everything could have ended up on D Anix! Trying to get that confirmed as possible with your posting restriction was like pulling teeth tho lol

The thread existing with 2 11 headed hydras worked out way better then I expected.

I really thought we were signed up for a train wreck lol

One of my suggestions to make the trainwreck happen was to have every member of our hydra pick a member of your hydra and just ignore every post not posted by that person. Duplicates allowed.

I think that 4(?) of our 11 heads never posted (although, they all posted in the discord), so some of yall would have been entirely blind to our posts lol

Yeah, I imagine it was chaotic on your ends, but honestly the 22 people playing 2 roles thing went as smoothly as it possibly could.

I expected our hydra to be both enjoyable to be part of and an asset to whichever alignment we drew. I was impressed how everything went really smoothly in the background.

zefiend, you're right about players being cliquish, but the thing about fitting in is pretending that you do. we're all nerds here. feel free to pretend as if you belong.
