Was Jesus a Vampire?
I was curious, if Jesus was a vampire, like most scholars now assume; was he malkavian, ventrue, brujah, toreador, nosferatu or tremere?

Hey guys
I am redhouse, I used to play and debate here. I might play and debate again. But I have another question: Who knows a lot about C++? I may have some questions that seem trivial to those who know.

How does muting work?
I've never muted someone in a game before. Therefore, I am quite ignorant about how it works. Clearly if player A is muted by player B, B won't receive any messages from A while they're muted. What happens when B unmutes A? Do all the messages A sent to B while B had A muted suddenly appear, or are they lost forever?

New game Classic
Just went to a FTF tourney. Was fun. Want to play some more classic using the standard tourney rules (except of course 1 Day turns instead of 12 minutes).

Set it at 101d to filter for more reliable players. If that's too steep but you like the rest, chime in here, and I will make a new one with lower bet.

It's not Diplomacy, but you can play as a country leader, intelligence agency, international bank, terrorist group, etc. The rules are very simple.

I don't see how it should be the default. The default settings should mirror a real game of Diplomacy as best they can, and there's no concept of "hidden" draw votes in a real game of Diplomacy.
Durga (3609 D)
30 Jan 17 UTC
Draw votes shouldn't be used as a diplomatic tool. I'm not a f2f player and I don't care what they do. I heard f2f uses SoS but that's not the default.
MajorMitchell (1605 D)

I think hidden draw votes are the single greatest cause of acrimonious fights within games. Thetes just no way HDV should be the default, I half suspect that Demon Overlord is trolling us all with this suggestion.
Durga (3609 D)

Only lesser players who can't convince people to stop solos or threats with words resort to public draw votes to help them.

The Chicago FTF scene uses hidden draw votes. I was under the impression that that was the vanilla setting

How does that even work? Who is keeping track?
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
30 Jan 17 UTC
@Chaqa it's literally used at every FTF scene in America. We also have TD's/Spectators who perform the draw process.

Everyone gets a black-suited playing card and a red-suited playing card. Each player puts one card on the board. Red is to Draw. Black is to Play On. The TD checks the results, takes all the other cards back, and then announces the result.
Valis2501 (2850 D(G))
30 Jan 17 UTC
Where the result is "Pass/Didn't Pass", without revealing how many or who voted what
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
30 Jan 17 UTC
Wouldn't the other players just see the card?

I've never played F2F at an event. We always just adjudicate ourselves and if someone thinks it was done wrong we solve it the good old fashioned way

Oh, makes more sense.

I still don't see why you'd use hidden draw votes.

Because it allows players to bluff about their position on draws? The same way people can't blindly trust someone is ordering like they say they are they can't blindly trust someone is drawing like they say they are.
