imagine trying to find a reason to dislike Avatar: The Last AIrbender

[Icibalus]

seriously i just finished the first season of that show and i’m so pissed i didn’t watch it when I was younger

[Ami]

think this is a misunderstanding so lemme try to make clear what i was sayin

Basically i was saying “ok but how is that bad?” in response to the “dae cultural appropriation” not the idea of the paper

@Simon

i mean. technically the answers to all of those are “ its up to the host”
because i cant host for beans and cant really design games either (balance and actual game-ness wise).
i just get some neat ideas and can turn those ideas into a basis fairly easily.

but like i did think into it somewhat and so i have ideas, i just left them out of that post to not really try and force them on anyone who might want to pick it up
i was thinking, just. during the night. you can try and use your ability, or you can ask questions. you cant do both. so its a game of using your limited questions well (i was thinking something like 5 questions per night if you do that), and a balancing act of when to ask questions to find more about your abilities, and when to do something good for the town.
say something you know is that your ability is an investigative ability, and you choose to go for someone who was in poe yesterday but not really focused on.
but. that may not be the best move. you could get a result anywhere from “yes” to “B” to “killing/offensive” to a role name to their whole role card, in theory.

as for the second bit. idk. i dont think they’d be joats though. joats normally have 4 one use abilities, and in that case they’d actually be closer to dreaming gods, but either way i dont think any abilities they’d have would be single use

@Simon

but like yeah thats kinda my ideal fm.
theres a hard puzzle element in it, and mechanics kinda have to come into play, in a way where they’re kinda central to the whole thing, but not necessarily off the walls or zany like can be in clown-fiesta-esque bastard games

well the competitive players would most likely just shirk the mechanics completely for d1 and d2 and just play it mountainous.
although, if one wanted to force players to make mechanics a thing (which isnt usually a good thing, mind you. you’re there to make a game they want to play and thats fun for them to play, not to watch them play your game how you want them to, but whatever), that could definitely be possible by tweaking it a bit

Hm… I want to try hosting this. Filling the roles shouldn’t be too difficult.
Aside from this I also have my own idea which is basically a smaller version of the Auction Mafia.

[Icibalus]

because let’s be honest
when people talk about stealing anime art style that is exactly what they’re referring to as the biggest example
and it could be argued that avatar steals more than just art style and does get into religious approproation somewhat, except an important thing is that it treats the spiritual ideas from the east with respect as well so
oops

[Simon]

go ahead! just lmk if/when you get it finished

[Icibalus]

Cultural appropriation is only harmful when you’re stealing elements of a person’s culture that have deep significance to them, usually religious, and use them carelessly for aesthetic purposes.

Alright folks, the cookie is around 50 posts away from us.
…so, let’s do a little quiz. If A is 10 in Base 16 (Hexadecimal), then what do the following numbers represent? 34_14_27_24

[Ami]

we improve by standing on the shoulders of giants, why would you willingly limit the number of shoulders you can stand on?

[Icibalus]

can i please tell the story of where that phrase comes from because it is absolutely hillarious

[Icibalus]

So, we’re all aware that Issac Newton was an absolute twat, right?

[Ami]

not incorrect

[Icibalus]

See, he had this huge rivalry with a man called Robert Hooke, who was another famous physicist at the time. Like, he really hated Robert Hooke.

[Icibalus]

So the Great FIre of London happened, and Robert Hooke, being the stand-up gentlemen that he was, paid for a large number of houses to be rebuilt, and plaques commemorating this were placed on those houses.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

@Simon, here is a puzzle for you. It should be an easy one at that.

[Icibalus]

But Newton was so pissed off that Robert Hooke would get any credit for anything that he, and I shit you not, paid a large gang of man with crowbars to remove all trace of Robert Hooke’s name from every sign in London.

[Icibalus]

We only actually found out that Hooke was involved in the response to the FIre recently because of that, but it gets way, way funnier.

34 in dec is 0x22 in hex.
14 in dec is 0x0D in hex.
27 in dec is 0x1B in hex.
24 in dec is 0x18 in hex.

I wonder if @sulit and @katze are planning to snipe the cookies? …I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened at this point.
