no i am just curious i missed playing this game by like an hour and didn't want to miss the next one

May I ask why you chose the title?
Look, I have to say that this game was really fun in the beginning, and then when it started lagging....well, I think I speak for most of the officers when I say that we lost interest, and that combined with the upcoming regional tournaments.... anyway, nice job. I'm sorry I guessed myself out of this one.

Good job kjhsscioly! I know I'm by no means an experienced member but heres my feedback: the wordy clues were nice and especially satisfying to solve but I must say that I think it would be better to mix up clue types just for more variety and so that everyone can kinda shine. Also: how about a 1 or 2 week delay between assassination games just so the new assassin has some time to make up a few good, clear clues and so he/she can respond instantly with a new clue after a kill/save. Just a suggestion. I also think the whole, get an accusation with correct protects didn't work too well: it's just to messy to try and figure out who has what accusations but I also didn't really like the old system of 3 accusations per officer, maybe just a communal pool of 15 accusations. To further regulate this, we could have a rule like no accusing in the first 2 weeks and then after that, there must be at least 2 and less than 4 accusations per week just to make sure the game stays within a set time (8 weeks) but isn't super short. One thing I found brilliant though was the entry clue.
Anyways, I get to pick the next Assassinator, right? Should I PM your account kjhsscioly or the assassinator's?

no pick the next assassinator and let the next game begin

Be gracious little boy. When you are assassinator (read: if) when you lose it's emotionally tolling be patient and let them sort it all out

Is losing really that emotionally tolling?

EDIT: ophiophagus, those seem like okay rule changes, but what prevents someone (such as the assassinator) from running down the entire 15 accusations? Also don't know about the timeframe on the other one, but it could be considered.

I never found it hard. Of course, it only happened once, and I was protested so much it was actually relieving to be done.

I would probably do that. I'm kind of a "seat of the pants" accuser.

Those suggestions sound good in theory but wouldn't be good in practice (from experience). If you take a 1-2 week delay from something it'll never start again, just look at TAR 2. Something similar with everything else- the rules on accusations wouldn't go as smoothly because of lack of opinions/breakthroughs, etc.

Pick wisely, ophiophagus! Also, congrats on winning

[Littleboy]

wait … I thought the current assassinator picked the next not the accuser

Nope the winner picks next sassy

The only reason the assassinator would choose is if they won, otherwise we could have the same assassinator playing game after game.
