I personally lean on rebirth themed, but fine with whatever.

I lean the other way, I do love aliens!

As far as I recall, the forum always places your current avater on all posts, including old ones. So it wouldn't be available in the way back machine unless you had posted it as an image in a thread, rather than just as your avatar.

Yeah, it definitely does. It's possible the avatar was posted as an attachment in the Time thread as mentioned though.

Yeah, sorry, not trolling through that thread to find it.

The preferred OTTer term is "blitzing". Good to see you back.

And thinking about it, I probably meant 'trawling' anyway.

Thank you, and you too.
It's good to be back.

I am so excited to see everyone back here :'). I hope whatever we come up with makes you happy, guys!

Also guys, I hope this is not controversial, but for a long time people have been uncomfortable with the word "Lynch" being used in this context and recent world events have made it even more uncomfortable to do so.

From https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Elimination :

"Lynch" is a term that refers to an extrajudicial killing, and fits with the traditional theme of the players forming an angry mob. Due to the harshly racial history of that term in the US, the Town's collective killing method may not be referred to as the lynch.

So, in this game, I will be using words like "elimination", "lim", "vote", "vote off", etc.

I am asking you all to do this, too. It does not make the game harder to play because apart from the neologism "lim" it's all common English words, and it makes the fora a more inclusive and welcoming place I hope.

Some terminology and acronyms that you can use instead:

ELo: Eliminate or lose
LiLo: Lim or lose
Lim: Elimination
ME: Miselimination
MeLo: Miseliminate and lose
MiLo: MisLim and lose
Mislim: miselimination
NE: No elimination
PE: Policy Elimination
E-1: elimination minus one

Condemner: a third-party role whose win condition is to get a specific person (the Condemnee) voted out, or eliminated.

spoiler

i am probably going to do rebirth because i haven't seen Alien: Resurrection since it was on TV one night c. 2003.

Anyone who wants a no elimination on D1, I will vote to eliminate them with extreme prejudice

vote: rebirth

If you can find one of your older posts on the forum, you can check for previous versions of the web page in the Wayback Machine and see if it saved one with the old avatar.
It needs to be before you joined the mafia forum because you already had the wizard hat.

With 10 alive it takes 6 to eliminate.

I have this vague memory if Jimbob adding the wizard hat to his pic during my first year on the forum.

Ahh yes, I can see how people would have grown away from the use of that word.

Hmm.
I would propose the use of “yeet” because it’s funny.

It's not controversial to me, if it makes people uncomfortable. I can't say I'll be perfect at remembering though. Give me a prod someone if I slip.

Elim (eliminate) and yeet are both gaining traction on other mafia sites. Though for me lynch is such a big part of the culture of the game.

So I guess you're running this according to OOTD's guide to mafia modding

Well I guess this is a bastard game.
