Is this game getting less popular?
I remember using this site years ago and I felt I could always find games to join, or if I made a game it would fill up in a couple of days at most.

Is there another site that people are using to play? It still seems like this one is the best at least from my quick google.

Must See Movie Reccomendations
So I like movies a lot and one of my goals in life is to watch every movie that is worth watching. I've seen most of AFIs top 100 and I have a to-watch list that is 168 films and counting. As such, I was curious if anyone here has some must-see movies that I may not know about.

Why no love for Sum of Squares scoring?
Personally, I'm not a big fan of Draw Size scoring, because it rewards the power that hung on with one dot the same as the 17 SC power that was a hair away from the solo.

What I've noticed is that almost every new game is Draw Size Scoring. Is that just because it's the default option or are players here just not fond of it.

Who Are The Real Dinosaurs In Congress?
Republicans do a better job of promoting younger members, in part because they limit, to six years, the length of time a member can be chairman or chairwoman of a committee. Democrats do not impose term limits on committee leaders or so-called ranking members, the top slot for lawmakers who are in the minority.

October 1972

A charter plane carrying forty-five passengers from a Uruguayan Soccer Team crashed somewhere high in the Andes mountains, but due to storm, poor navigation and faulty radio contact, its position could be only approximated and the condition of its passengers was unknown.

Many passengers and crew were kiIIed instantly, as the plane broke apart at
initial impact; more died within days and others were killed by avalanches that buried the shelter improvised within the wreckage of the fuselage. Still others died during the next long weeks, Finally, after the official search had been halted and restarted several times, and while some of the families of the passengers persisted in their efforts to at least find the wreckage, the last 19 survivors clung to life. Herein is a completely unrealistic account of how the nineteen passengers fared for seventy days through terrible storms, sub-zero temperatures at 13,500 feet, and four sadistic cannibals lurking among them eating additional people at night.

The chartered plane had carried little food and much of this - along with most of the baggage - fell with the tail section several miles from where the fuselage, which had lost its wings, came to rest. The small amount of food available was gone in a few days and the survivors faced the terrible choice between certain death from starvation, or eating the weaker among them.

ROLE PMs:

Town - You are a crash survivor (vanilla townie)! During the day, you may vote for any player to be eaten (lynched). At the end of the day phase, the player with the most votes will be eaten. You will win if all Mafia members have been eliminated.

Mafia - You are a cannibal (vanilla mafia)! During the day, you may vote for any player to be eaten (lynched). At the end of the day phase, the player with the most votes will be eaten. During the night, you may converse with your fellow cannibals in the Mafia QT - *****************- and collectively vote on a player to kill. The Mafia QT is only open during Night phases. You win if, at any point, the remaining cannibals outnumber the remaining crash survivors.

In the day phase, you can cast your vote by posting ##VOTE PLAYER - for example, ##VOTE PETERLUND would count as a vote for Peterlund to be lynched. You may vote as many times as you wish in a phase, but only your most recent vote will count.

To remove your vote entirely, post ##UNVOTE. To vote for no player to be lynched, post ##VOTE NOLYNCH. If NoLynch has more votes than any individual player, then no player will be lynched that phase.

To vote to end the day phase early, post ##END. The day phase will end early if there are a majority of players voting for the same candidate who are all voting End, and the following night phase will be extended to ensure it ends at 6pm EDT. The night phase will never last less than 24 hours.

Mountainous Mafia is an all vanilla game. There are no PR, there are no special rules, there are no mafia specialists. Mountainous is the setup featured in the 2017 World Mafia Championships. The benefits of this setup are abundant. Namely, it encourages all Vanilla Town equal interest. There is no PR apathy, there is no unimportant role. Mountainous tests the core of ability of all players and brings the game back to being a deduction puzzle. There are no clears and nothing to fall back on.

¤  Phases: 48 hour days, 24 hour nights
¤   Mafia QT is only open at night
¤   All phases adjudicate at standard time of 6pm EST, or 11pm British weirdo time.
¤   Two posts per day, and you must vote once. Night posting is not required.

If anyone has any further questions, please ask them in the signup thread, or here with the prefix ##CALLGM after the game has begun.

(Survivors are huddled around a fire, wrapped in blankets. The wind is brutal. The flapping sounds of tarps on the broken plane fill the air. Ice crystals trickle down from a frigid sky as huge steam plumes come from the survivors mouths.)

Roy: (Returning from the Hillary Step) Guys, Someone ate Alex Morales.

Lilenna: What? What do you mean? 
Morales died in the crash...also the Hillary Step is on Ever-
(Interrupting)
Roy: yes, well, were running low on food. Someone is eating the frozen bodies...so we should consider sharing the frozen bodies and eating them...

Saurez: Morales looked delicious, I cant blame them. I looked earlier and most of the frozen bodies are gone chief...

Roy: Gone!?

Lilenna: Are you saying... someone already ate all the frozen bodies?

Saurez: Yes, I uh... have no idea who would have been so hungry...

Child: I want a lollipop!

Canessa: No, we dont have any lollipops honey. Heres a plastic straw. Pretend its beef jerky.

Child: I am hungry mommy, what do we have? This tastes like shit.

Canessa: Actually.. What do we have left?

Roy: Nothing then. Were out of lichens, marmots, granola bars, slurm, and frozen bodies. Were screwed.

Lilenna: Well whoever these people are who ate the frozen dead bodies without asking, they need to be brought to justice!

Roy: Hmm, does anyone want to... volunteer to be dinner?

Child: Mommy, I want to eat a body too!

Canessa: No, you dont mean that!

Child: I have the need to feed.

Roy: The child is right. Seeing as how some of us are traitors who are overeating, we should do this the old fashioned way.

Saurez: What is the old fashioned way exactly?

Roy: We eat everyone until we find these scum among us who ate the frozen bodies.

Canessa: I cant believe were actually talking about eating each other... this is grotesque. Frozen bodies is one thing, but living, breathing survivors?

Roy: there are 19 of us, we can eat one of us per day until we find all these jerks and get rescued. 

Child: Mommy lets play cannibals! I wanna be a Pirate Cannibal.

Canessa: (begins sobbing uncontrollably) Lord please get us off this mountain. 

(Felipe returns from gathering things to throw in the fire)

Felipe: Whatd I miss? I have news. 

Roy: Were gonna eat each other to survive.

Canessa: Yea well fuck you, whos gonna volunteer first?

Felipe: I propose we ##No Eat. And we all starve. 

Saurez: thats pretty idiotic...

Felipe: Well im a pretty idiotic person.

Child: Yay Starvation!!

Roy: Sigh, lets get everyone together and see what they think.

(The 19 survivors are all gathered, a very hairy looking mountain yeti sits among them)

Roy: Why is there a Yeti here?

Yeti: What? This is a mountain, I gotta eat too. 

Felipe: I found four tracks up near the fuelselage. I think there may be four sadistic cannibals among us. Eating the frozen bodies at night, based on what yer saying. But I think we should probably just do nothing. I dont think eating people is a good idea.

Roy: Will you kindly fuck off? Were not going to intentionally starve ourselves dumbass.

Yeti: So we should eat the sadists. Or this guy. Or maybe hes one of them? 

Saurez: Yes, lets totally listen to a yeti. 

Child: Yaaaas eat the Sadists!

Chris Mccandless: I found all these wild sweet peas and potatoes just down the ridge!

Roy: Arent you that guy who died from starvation in Alaska? Eating random shit in the wild?

Chris Mccandless: Yes, but I am back, to raise awareness about the dangers of eating random shit. So heres some random shit to eat thats a healthy alternative to eating bodies!

Canessa: (Sobbing) This is too much. I cant, I just cant.

Roy: We will vote on who to eat. And hope theyre the scumbags. Its our best bet. Were not eating Alpinium and wild sweet potato. That shit will literally just kill us. Moron. 

With that in mind, lets solve this mystery. Who ate Alex Morales?

I am going to try to think critically this time around. I learned from my first time that narrowly targeting one person is not a good way to go. So since ghug is claiming to be scum we can assume he is but wait until D2 or D3 for the kill. For now, I am going to say everyone should vocally introduce themselves; what are your goals? what process do you intend to use for investigating scum? Are we going to prioritize lurkers? And for now i shall wait for more discussion.

@DO- can you humor me and assist in calling out others and if no clear contenders arise we can vote ghug; my concern is that we narrow our search today and gain no information. Even if ghug is scum we learn nothing from it; if he is town and just screwed us then we definitely learn nothing. Let's not get caught up in this less than an hour in.

Maniac (189 D(B))
01 Nov 17 UTC
So let's look at the evidence so far. Ghug has written in capitals. I've known ghug a long time and he does everything for a reason. So I looked at all the permutations of this sentence and one jumped off the page...

“How Green Was My Dud Mouse YoYo?" D C Madam

Now this miss-titled 1998 book by Dick King-Smith doesn't mention DC Madam, but those are the letters left over. So who was D C Madam? Google comes to our help, she was Deborah Jeane Palfrey (March 18, 1956 – May 1, 2008) arrested for money laundering and racketeering classic mafia money making schemes.

I think Ghug is telling us that his mafia pal is a women and he's laughing at us. If yoyo was in the game, I'd bet he was mafia too.

Lynch Ghug and then DemonOverlord

You can all thank me later.
CommanderByron (801 D(S))
01 Nov 17 UTC
No, me you DO and maniac are all scum. We planned this. So the idea was that you (ghug) would claim scum. Then DO and maniac would jump on to vote you. I however would push for reason and a more tempered approach. The idea being that my reason argument would prevent you from being eaten, give me ethos going forward, while DO would come across as the aggressive town. Maniac gets looked over.

Would've worked too if it werent for those kids and their stupid dog.
ghug (5068 D(B))
01 Nov 17 UTC
No go back to taking my claim seriously. That was more entertaining. I'll reveal my teammates in twelve hour increments.
