A small tip

: This first post will always contain information critical to the game, with the most recent vote count being displayed here (as well as within the thread), deadline information and player list.

A great feature of this forum lets you display the first post in a thread as the first post on every page of your thread. This will be very useful in the game, however it's not 100% needed. If you want to use this feature go to your profile, scroll down to the

So, I've talked to MeMe, and have offered to take over modding as a hydra account, so that we can continue this game; after all, we've got to post our own moves so as to not give ourselves away. We also recommend a strict deadline, so that we can only bother counting the votes of active players and simply ignore inactive players instead of hunting for replacements constantly.

Mr. Black · Post Post #1700 (isolation #2) » Sun Feb 14, 2010 11:18 am

Great, then let's get this party started. Your first deadline is one week from today. February 21st, 5 PM EST.

Mr. Black · Post Post #1716 (isolation #3) » Sat Feb 20, 2010 8:26 am

And here I was looking forward to picking the move.

34. Re8 is the move, and now we shall deliberate.

Mr. Black · Post Post #1717 (isolation #4) » Sun Feb 21, 2010 11:04 am

We have selected 34. ... Bg5+. It is now day, deadline is set for 5 PM EST, February 28th.

Replacements

We all passively advertise for replacements in signatures, and in the thread title. If (optimistically) someone is interested in replacing, they indicate in the game thread.
We randomly choose which inactive player they will replace
, and then Black PMs them the correct alignment.
@Mr. Black: In the future, would you stick to the bolded section above? Maybe you could list the candidates for replacement and roll a die in the thread.

Suppose I could, but I don't see how it matters even slightly, since I'm doing it all random anywhere, and I'm more interested in getting this done quickly than anything else.

Anyway, the move has been selected, and now it's our turn again.

35. ... fxe2 is the play on the board, and its your move again. You've got a week from whenever now is.

Mr. Black · Post Post #1740 (isolation #8) » Fri Feb 26, 2010 10:20 am

Of the two legal moves, we select Kxg8. Your move, once more.

Mr. Black · Post Post #1748 (isolation #9) » Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:16 am

That will bring us back up to a full complement. Since I got complaints for using random.org instead of deciding in-thread...

ah and TCS are both in need of replacement. On a 1, Haylen replaces ah, and SaintKerrigan replaces TCS. On a 2, they go the other way around.

Mr. Black · Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:17 am

d5 is the move, and now we deliberate.

Due to SaintKerrigan's circumstance, we've found a replacement in CSL, who takes over SK's spot effective tomorrow.

Please keep in mind that this moment is for the players (especially the white team.) No spamming. Let the players make their guesses as to who the black team is, without interfering.

Players: you can either PM me your guesses, or post them in thread, if you want. Yes, I was only joking about modkills. If you were white, you have already won the game.

Mr. Black · Post Post #2308 (isolation #58) » Thu Aug 26, 2010 1:21 pm

The black team in this game was

Spoiler: Names Here-

All others were on the White team. Congratulations!

Being Mr. Black was tough. A determined white player matching up posting times could probably have found grounds for suspecting me. I tried to space out my login times with my account and with Mr. Black to counteract that, but it couldn't always be done, and often they were only spaced out by half of an hour. I also had the persistent concern that V/LA's (either ours or townies') would give the town information.

Regarding replacements and prods: the ruleset for the game didn't include prods, and replacements were entirely at the mod's discretion. The one time I did make a replacement due to activity, for CSL, he sent me a PM to tell me that he hadn't wanted to be replaced.

The awesome signature and avatar for this account were entirely Sudo's ideas.
