Raids in Belgium on Terror Cells; 100+ Arrested Across Europe
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/15/world/belgium-anti-terror-operation/ "A Western Intelligence source tells CNN that the ongoing terror threat appears to involve up to 20 sleeper cells of between 120 to 180 people ready to strike in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands." 2014 was a year that will remembered for a lot of violence in the Middle East...might we remember 2015 as the year that violence came to Europe and the West?

Can't Ready Up Building fewer units than earned?
I want to save one of my builds for later. I entered one build but left the other blank since I don't want to use it yet. The order won't allow me to 'Ready' up. Will the one build still go through? Is this a bug, or is it a rule that I must use all my builds?

CONGRATULATIONS to wpfieps
Check out gameID=153815 where wpfieps managed to solo as Turkey - gamely playing on while Italy, Austria, France and Russia all DMR'd. Never even considering cancelling or drawing the game.

It's players like that who make me hate this place sometimes.

Mafia Sign Up Thread
If you're interested in playing a game beginning sometime after January 11, post here. I'll take on the GM role alone initially but I would love to have a co-GM if anyone is interested in that.

We can also discuss details of the next game. Preliminarily, there will be no SK and two primary factions (town/mafia). I would love to get creative with power roles if others are interested too.

Ghug, not many. Just the people I thought it would piss off, like you.

I am sending out the *real* role PMs now. If you got one earlier saying that you are the SK, you aren't actually the SK. If you didn't get one earlier, you still aren't actually the SK. There is no SK. No one likes the SK. Except guak. I learned that a few hours ago.

Since fuzzyhartle1 isn't here, I'll put him down as an alternate. I may allow him to get a late start if he shows up in the first half of the day. That depends on whether or not I'm feeling nice. (Isn't that the most bullshit line ever? I'm always feeling nice, except when Invictus posts something, because then I actually have to think.)

The confirmation period is closed. We have 23 players - that makes 6 mafia, 14 vanilla town, 1 cop, 1 doctor, and 1 vigilante. I think that's pretty good. It's only slightly favoring mafia, but if I cut a mafia member and added a VT, it would favor the town a little bit more heavily I feel. Unless there is an objection in the next few minutes, we'll go with that.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
14 Jan 15 UTC
6 mafia? Damn. That's a lot.
ghug (5068 D(B))
14 Jan 15 UTC
You can't give fuzzy a late start, we'll know he's VT.
Jeff Kuta (2066 D)
14 Jan 15 UTC
Probably too late now but you could always make one Mafia into a Traitor (can't communicate with other Mafia but knows he's Mafia).
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Jan 15 UTC
He would only be given the opportunity to join late if he is here in the next 24 hours. He would still participate like normal on the opening day. If he isn't here by 4 CST tomorrow, he'll remain an alternate.

If anyone hasn't received their role PM yet, please let me know. The game begins in approximately 30 minutes.
ghug (5068 D(B))
14 Jan 15 UTC
We know that you've already assigned roles to everyone though, and we'll know what all of the roles are, so if you add him in late, you either have to tell us you're adding a new power role/new mafia or make him a VT. We'd know exactly who he is, and that'd be an issue.
uclabb (589 D)
14 Jan 15 UTC
I wasn't even mad that I was gonna be SK. I was mad that I was gonna be Sargmacher. That guy was the worst
It hurts me to say this, but ghug is right. We would know what he is if you added him to the game late.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Jan 15 UTC
That's a fair point, ghug. He'll be an alternate I guess.

Fuck Sargmacher. Seriously.
ghug (5068 D(B))
14 Jan 15 UTC
Yeah, that dude was awful.
Who was this Sargmacher?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Jan 15 UTC
The worst (and most effective) cheater ever, arguably.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Jan 15 UTC
For those that are completely confused, I sent this PM to a few players earlier as a joke:

"You are Sargmacher, the Serial Killer. During the day, you are encouraged to make an accusation against someone suspected of participating in the invasion. The candidate that reaches a plurality during the day will be banned (lynched). You are required to cast a vote during the day. You may vote not to lynch anyone if you so desire. You are also required to post at least twice each day. During the night, you may select a target. Your target will be shot and killed during the night. There is no limit to the number of shots you can take. You cannot be nightkilled by the mafia but you can be roleblocked. You win once everyone else is dead and have no official alliance, though it may be in your interest to play as an ally to a certain faction at different times during the game."
What did he do, i.e how did he cheat?
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
14 Jan 15 UTC
He was a multi and metagamer. He somehow slipped past the mods for a long time. Can't go into details but he was good.
uclabb (589 D)

He was a huge multi and also just a total dick. Here is a game he blatantly multied that I was in:

If you're paying attention to the mafia game, you might have noticed that we could use a couple of alternates to fill roles that need to be replaced. Would anyone like to volunteer?

If these positions aren't filled by 5 PM CST on Saturday, I'll simply modkill inactive players.

The one move support arrow is obvious. I also give fake supports for my own units to point allies down a path. (Of course this assumes our allies open and read the expanded detail maps. And allies may need to go a couple maps back to get the whole story.) What do you do?
