you guys all need a better social housing system. You live in the richest country but with those costs, all the money is going concentrated to the top. I mean, even the cost for health care is gigantic overblown.

if only you had voted bernie sanders in

In my city we've been pushing for more construction. They're planning to add a few hundred units to the public housing and redeveloping some parking into apartments downtown, but overall there's just a serious housing shortage in the US in general.

Well then, now it's time to marry and win a war. And finish the building I started, I guess.

I took a 1 year self-requested ban on MafiaUniverse because I played too much lol. That was a few months ago. I noticed the signups for this game randomly while playing diplomacy and I joined immediately.
ah okay. I thought you seemed familiar. I am moth on mafiauniverse.

I live in one of the most expensive areas of PA. Rents are worse here than in Philly. Luckily I have a house, but the prices are crazy. Two blocks up my street are two bedroom, 1200 sq.ft. apartments going for like $2200/month
Yeah...I haven't rented in a while, but that's about what ours was in 2018 in Maine. It's only gotten much worse since the pandemic.

Hey everyone.

Well done, town.

Sorry, team.

I would really like the comments of Monarch and Bob, who apparently designed the setup, and Ghug and Darg who reviewed it?

Yeah? No. I am not interested in that. I want it said here.

I am sorry this setup was broken.

These things happen.

I would like to hear from Monarch and Bob who apparently designed it.

I would like to hear from Ghug and Darg who should have reviewed it.

Thank you all in advance and well done town all the same.

Yes!!!! Having the first phase end on a Sunday is devastating for my play.

Wow.

I own a two-bedroom house and my mortgage costs me £420 per month.

I reckon one possible way to fix this setup is to make up another ~10 roles and randomly select from them to get the actual role list. But don't tell the players which roles are in play of course.

That's exactly what I'd recommend. A semi-open setup (which is the technical term for what you are describing) is generally much less sensitive to role claiming.

Robert: "The more, the merrier."

He waves her welcome towards a seat on the table.

"Say, you haven't heard of some old story regarding the Alenatha? A group of mages of old. They were praised for their artful crafting of magic tools."

Robert pours wine in two fresh glasses, then presents each of them to Avariel and Mikhail with precise movements in a way that screams high etiquette.
Avariel: Cheers. What is your opinion of people who refuse to try to do anything with their life? I was looking to recruit a group of people willing to attack the homeless. They are a plague on our society, and they beg for death. Surely we should grant them this kind mercy

At least then my flavour posts would be read by someone :lol:
