Lifthrasil: Since this will be a Secret Hitler game, I will have about a 50% chance of being Fascist and a 30% chance of being Hitler. ;-)
Knowing you, I wouldn't be surprised if you were Fascist. Again.

...is that how you got so good at being scum?


EDIT: But no, I won't be hand picking my fascist scum team. I'm not biased. You can blame my Secret Hitler Python tool for that, which Microfish and Joe will be familiar with from the Discord games.

Microfish_1: I want to play. Next week is good, Christmas week is horrid for playtime, the week after is good, New Years Eve & Day is bad.
Also, my free month of origin access is this month and I've been using it to test games (essentially making sure the thing works, playing an hour, and then uninstalling). This runs out on the 30th, but I would definitely make time for this.

PookaMustard: Would you be OK if the game went on Vacation Mode during 24-26 Dec and 31 Dec - 1 Jan?
Yes, if it was also offline on the 23, 27, & 28 as i'll be afk most of those days (I like you guys, but i'd rather spend time with the grandparents as they are both elderly and slowly failing in their health)

PS: I have the python tool. I really ought to familiarize myself with it more

Well, that's going to be troublesome if we start the game before Christmas season. Then I don't mind starting on the 29th and only "pausing" the game on New Year's. We could use all that time until then to sign up, or to recall Mafia moments or talk about general Mafia stuff without being at each other's throats.

Have you invited Old Zeog? Would your sister or any of the discord lot be persuaded to join us?

then again, the game could start, take those few days off, and i just steal time during the day or in bed to play. epecially if it is somewhat slow to start off.
Secret Hitler games are extremely slow at the start. It's not even RVS. It's just someone picking someone and everyone agreeing.
avatar
PookaMustard: Actually a good idea. Especially because dead zones make me anxious ("did I mess up?"). Though I'd like to wait and hear what others say about this. If we all agree, the sign up thread will show up after Christmas by a day or two.

@All do you want to start after Christmas or earlier?
I wouldn't mind a game over the holidays....if you do it just make the deadlines longer and give people the 2 days(or more if jewish/etc) off. :)

avatar
PookaMustard: I was initially opposed to making the sign up thread now because a long delay before the game starts means some if not a lot of the players might eventually lose interest in the game or worse, forget there was a game to begin with. Maybe I should put a "Begin Date" in the thread in all capitals and all bold.
Sounds good.....also add to my above reply this: Could we make like a pre-game "party"(holiday party of sorts) in the sign up thread if we don't start till after the holidays? :)

avatar
PookaMustard: Would you be OK if the game went on Vacation Mode during 24-26 Dec and 31 Dec - 1 Jan?
I would....we could use the signup thread during those days(no spoilers of course) to party along with before the game starts(as per my idea above this).

But that's what mafia's all about. :\ ;)

I am doing the same with XB1 game pass....testing games(or even finishing them if short enough) and then buying to finish/own after if I like them.

It's too bad they aren't more tech literate(I am assuming they aren't) and have gog accounts....they could sign up as well and you could play together. :)

I don't think the Discord lot would join in. Besides, some of them probably don't have a high opinion of this forum.

Don't leave out agent either. Without him, I wouldn't have been a replacement for agent in the previous SH game, would I?

You are correct in that the game could start without all these days. The flipside is that the governments would probably move ridiculously slowly, as in we'd be done with Christmas and still be on the second, still uninteresting government if not the the first. I don't mind a pause per se, Christmas in general and spending time with your folk is better than a game where we shout "FASCIST!" and "SCUM!" at each other 24/7, but I am interested in having my players not drop out or lose interest because of an ill-timed game going Vacation Mode.

What I'm going to do is start the sign up thread some day or another. I had a very productive day yesterday and set down the flavor that I'll use for the sign post. I'll probably post it and put a disclaimer that the game would start on either 29 December or 2 January, and will have confirmations for each sign up before the specified date.

Deadlines probably going to be a good, reasonable "post every 48 hours, or else the sirens will blare for 24 hours before it's replacement time." Now unsure what to do if a person is intentionally holding back their vote (Joe did that last game). It slows the game down so I don't like it, but then again there are effectively no deadlines in Secret Hitler and so discussion can take as long as the players want it to.

ZFR: Can one of you American people check something for me? Does the duration of the Christmas sale on the GOG frontpage say "11.12 - 02.01" or does it change the date format according to your region?
Picture changed. Now the date is "Dec 11th - Jan 2nd"

Still see the old one here. Even in incognito mode, so it's not a cache thing.

I see 11.12 - 02.01.

Judging by the fact trent and bookwyrm see something other than we do and they live in the US, it's probably region based.

They likely didn't want to have it change format due to region so they likely just made all people in one region show it as Dec 11th - Jan 2nd, and the rest see it in fully numerical format.

For some reason Europe shows the date then month where the US shows the month then date, so 11.12-02.01 is December 11th-January 2nd.

Indeed!
