Xmas Mafia Night Zero
 

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Hanukkah!

It's a lovely time of year. Cold outside(where Mahaloth lives, anyway), but beautiful and wonderful. Why not celebrate a little Holiday cheer together?

Change your picture to something Christmas/Holiday related. Whatever you like. Maybe find a Christmas picture of your normal pic?

UPDATE:

Let's Begin Day 1 Monday night at 7 PM Eastern USA timezone.

All Night Zero actions, including switch flipping, are due by then.

Here is a countdown to that time.

Xmasy, huh? hmmm. I'll have to dig around for an avatar...

There, that's...festive.

Nice. In that insane MU game I mentioned in the signup thread there is someone playing in character as Oderus Urungus. You might find it amusing if you feel like reading a...let's see, now late in Day Four aaand...15.549 post so far game.

yeesh...I mean, I'm bored and have plenty of time but...yeesh.

Go ahead and throw me the link...then we'll see how bored I actually am.

Here you go. Looks like someone is getting a bit misogynistic on Angel right now. Don't really see that going well.

Jeez, I don't think I could deal with the way they play over there. Too fast to get a handle on anything.

No shit! I mean, that first day was literally more than seven posts a minute. I don't see how anyone can do it, but obviously people figure it out eventually.

Almost 300 posts in the first hour. And like 10 votes. And it seems like only a handful of players have yet to chime in. Thats...no bueno. I'll stick to playing here where and I can stew over every post.

I "caught up" by skimming every tenth page and arrived at EoD so confused I didn't even realize that one of the people tied for the lynch was my scum partner! Granted, I had 15 of them, but still. That's got to be my most embarrassing Mafia moment. So far.

Ha! 14 pages in before Oderus shows up aaaaaannnnnd...his avatar is

Role PM's are out.

Let me know if you did not receive one. We'll give Night Zero some time and I will announce Day later.

Remember, powers are active except killing roles! Serial Killer must make a decision ASAP!

Got mine!

Role received!

Yeah, he had an actual pic of Oderus for his avvy in the signup thread. I guess he felt "Mr Fluffypants" was less threatening.

Oh yeah, got my role.

wind blow hard
benadryl in my veins
could be flu

I thought Haikus were 5-7-5...not 3-6-3...But I admit it has been several decades since the schoolin' years.

And I'd bet on allergens/toxins. This fuckin smoke is stinging my eyes and throat bad too.

pretty scummy to call me on that one

Bad poetry is pretty scummy. Not as scummy as puns, though.

I dont have the smoke, but ya the pollen or what ever the hell im reacting too is killing me. I honestly cant tell if its this or actual flu.
I made potato salad for my sister's pot luck, it might take a few days for incubation but ill have results, and hopefully a decent r naught to report.

The smoke was blotting out the sun on the 101 on my way to work yesterday.

His haiku lacks syllables
Overreaction?

The only good reaction is an overreaction.

For all future games
All posts shall be poetic
Infractions otherwise

Verse about a king
overthrown on Everest
was this a haiku?

What have I started
syllables counted with toes
Please stop the madness

You have doomed us all
counting instead of hunting
scums prey on madness

I have a PM.
Happy holidays to all.
Ready for day one.

I neither confirm nor deny that I have received a role message. However, if I had received one and if I also had a role with a switch, I would be using random.org each Night to determine whether or not to throw that purely hypothetical switch.

And in other news, besides the toxic air I’m breathing, the wind is pushing ash and dust everywhere around the house.

Outside dog water
Black with ash and soot, mudlike
Disgusting it was

There is no reason
poetry and Scum hunting
cannot coexist

Advocating plan
scumhunting while distracted
Scums would do that, bro

Scum like to blend in
but might fear making a slip
composing three lines

Scums likely to lurk
Or not bother poem'ing
Town poets hobbled

Lurkers are evil
no one likes voting lurkers
burn lurkers alive

Many folks must lurk
when life events interfere
Let's not judge in haste

Other commitments
Project poorly planned Tuesday
Clown show must go on

That's ethnocentric
Lurkers are considered good luck
In many cultures

Players with few posts
May be astute scum hunters
And quite handsome too

Scum stench lurks beneath
Blood shall flow into gutters
Viddy the scarlet

End of shift nearing
Pitchers await consumption
Jen's last day tending

Have a good evening
Sucks about the whole fire thing
Hope you can breathe soon

I hope day starts soon
Haiku are fun and all but
I want to kill scum

A haiku in Japanese is 5-7-5 BUT a proper Haiku must also include something about nature and/or the season (I don't have my short write-up handy, sorry).

:(

The season of death
Blood red contrasts pristine snow
Natural beauty
