    I've also decided that, because of having special knowledge, my ghost-shattering laser vote will go towards billtodamax.

    What are the implications of ghosts entering the vault/searching? Can their incorporeal forms find (and then use) items and gold or are they just blocking spots.

    As for poems, it's not anywhere near Penguinator or Supagoof's level but:

    There once was a young man from Dover,
    Who wished on a bright supernova,
    He wished that his mark,
    That fiend Superdark
    Would find that his life was now over.

    Sapo, cut it out. You know the rules explicitly say you can't do that.
    Edit: In fact, you don't get your ghost vote for the day as a penalty for intentionally trying to push things too far.

    Each Day phase everyone votes in red for one player to face the baleful gaze of the Daystar dreaded Lynch. The two players with the most votes will compete in a contest that represents the battle to win that day's lynch. Ties are resolved randomly. Each player will have values we'll call Strengths of Play (unless someone comes up with a better name). Each value will be between 1-10. The loser of the lynch dies (probably). The winner lives and gets to choose which Strength of Play the next day's contest will be using. They cannot pick the same Strength of Play as the previous day's contest.
    Each Day phase everyone votes in red for one player
    everyone votes
    I don't think so, Ramsus. This is perfectly clear.

    I'm going to allow Ramsus to respond. If he talks with bladescape and finds it to be a terrible thing for balance and they're desperate to change it, they can change the rules or introduce an event to nullify it. Without that, the rules are what the rules are.
    This is what precise language is for, people.

    @Rules Debate:

    Spoiler
    Show
    Actually, given as we have someone who can serve in a position of judgement, a certain degree of leeway can be allowed, subject to a narrator's discretion. This provides for an easier process in creating new games, which leads to more games being generated.

    In certain cases timing can be essential, leading to a problem that has to be fixed in hindsight. However, most of the time a player has the luxury to question whether a certain action that appears to stretch the spirit of the rules is permissible. This is frequently the case because there is usually some time spent weighing the feasibility and wisdom of such an action before it is committed.

    Remember, this is the narrator's game and the rules are laid out in an attempt to convey their intent for how the game is to be played. Clarification or even rule changes later in the game (if something is truly broken) can and do occur from time to time on this forum.

    If Ramsus says it is not permitted in this game, it isn't permitted.

    Sapo, you have a QT for a reason and you could have just asked. Also, your attitude as if you get to dictate to me how my own game functions is really aggravating. You were in fact already warned a few times to stop acting this way, that's why you're receiving (an incredibly minor) punishment. Narrator =/= lawyer. You can't expect the wording of any game, especially not one this complicated, to be perfect. The intention of how the rules are meant to work was clear to everyone besides yourself and those who didn't find them clear/looking for loopholes were at least polite enough to ask. You're in fact the only person I've seen when confronted with a narrator making a statement decided that what their next move should be is to argue with the decision and make demands of what they should do. I'm seriously barely restraining myself from just kicking you out of the game but, this place is generally such a nice and non-hostile environment I wouldn't want to start any such behavior. Please, please just stop acting this way. I'm not very inclined to have to ask you again.

    (Oh, and don't even try a line like "I was just doing it to force you to make the rules more clear" because, again, you have a QT and could have just pointed such out and made suggestions. That is not what you chose to do.)

    Troll Patrol: Fact: Structured Games are called that for a reason. In this particular subforum, posters are allowed to participate in a given game only with the narrator's permission.

    In most cases, that permission is given during the sign up phase. Unless otherwise specified by the narrator, posters participating in the game without the full knowledge and consent of the narrator are not allowed. Posters doing so will be politely asked to leave the game thread. If they don't leave, they risk getting a warning or infraction. Posters instigating misbehavior might find themselves on the wrong end of moderator scrutiny as well.

    Zeb was talking about recruiting people from other threads, not about this thing, Ramsus. And in any case, reality is not decided by popular vote, no matter how much the alchemists wanted there to be a way to turn lead into gold.

    Er, I have no idea what your first comment even means and as for your second, I specifically said I wasn't opening up a political discussion. Just leaving the link there. You can ignore it or not. You're not obligated to inform me (and not suggested to either) one way or the other.

    Edit: Seriously, I suggest you remove your comment as it's pretty much explicitly against forum rules as I pointed out.

    Edit 2: And I'm just ignoring your earlier comment about narrator bias because I don't care about your opinion. Note: This is totally not in any way I assure you a subtle response to your political opinion.

    Edit 3: I care about everyone else's opinions though. Don't worry, I still love you guys.

    I would appreciate it if my comments were not taken out of context. My comments were that the Narrator ruling was that Ghosts cannot vote in Red. You mentioned whether we might disallow it or whatever, and so I clarified that, no, Ghosts would not.

    I suggest everyone take a calm breath and think about whether this is worth arguing about. I really doubt Sapo actually thought while posting that vote that it would eventually be allowed, rules-lawyering is just a fun thing to do as a joke sometimes, and the narrator will clear things up. Ramsus, your attitude is not very reconciliatory which leads to certain kind of people to just stick stronger to their guns because they feel they are being treated unfairly harshly, even though this is not your intention.

    And please do keep everything unrelated out of it, such as political opinions and whatnot, at least.

    I'll put 2 Randomness, 1 Puns, and 1 Guile on Flabort, since, if I recall correctly, the ruling made last time I tried to bid in an auction was that votes weren't valid bids, not that Ghosts can't bid.

    Isn't that a worthless bid given that ghosts have no use for any of the stats given they're already dead and can't be lynched again?
    I guess I'll bid 2 gold on sapo as well.

    Yes but someone else doesn't get them if C'nor wins the bid - his stats just get lowered (which, as I said, doesn't really change anything). As far as the stats being useful to someone else, I'm fairly sure you can't trade stats to other people (I checked a while ago). Otherwise it would just get silly with people min-maxing to start with then pumping up their stats by trading with the friendly neighbourhood ghosts.

    Zeb is not saying that he agrees with you; he's saying that I shouldn't bring people who aren't in the game into this. I haven't talked about your politics. I was saying that your argument of "oh these people agree with me" is meaningless.
    It is against no forum rules. Go ahead and report it and see nothing happen.
    Not caring about my opinions doesn't change any facts, and I wasn't saying anything about your politics.
    Continued evidence of favoritism. Would you like me to randomly punish you in my games when I felt annoyed? Heck, I could lynch you right now in Revival and there'd be nothing you could do about it.
    And I'm not going to take this to QTs because then you're free to flame me as much as you want like last time and I'll have none of it.
