December 20, 2007

Dead Diary,
Today I have some good news and some bad news for you. First, the good news.

You may remember the fact that my old laptop died and I had to rescue you along with my NaNo Novel off of it. Well, my brand new laptop came today right after I finished presiding over the funeral for my old laptop. It was perfect timing, as my nerd instincts overpowered my grief, thus allowing me to be able to set up my new laptop with no emotional problems. And you should've seen me, oh Diary, rip open that package like a little kid opens up his Christmas gifts. I had that laptop up and running in no time. It was great. But then the bad news hit in.

No, oh Diary, I am not referring to the step where Windows Vista installs itself. I seemed to have yet set myself up for another very witty pun from you, my friend. I cannot say from personal experience whether or not Windows Vista is good or not because I haven't had much experience with it.

You see, when I rebooted my computer for what was hopefully the final time in the setup of the computer, something very strange happened to your humble narrator. All of the keys came to life and started talking to each other. Some started talking and hanging out like old friends, and some started fighting like old enemies. But one things was clear. I wasn't going to be able to use the keyboard in this state.

Once again, I find myself at the butt of yet another clever pun authored by you, oh Diary. However, I still don't plan on moving to Delaware, nor any other state to try to get my keyboard to work.

Seeing that I needed a keyboard to do anything on the computer, I almost went to see if I could download an on-screen keyboard to allow me to use the laptop while I was still trying to fix the keyboard. However, I realized that this was fruitless as I couldn't google "on screen keyboard" without using the keyboard. That sucked. So I ran downstairs, where I am typing you now.

What do I plan to do? I'm not sure, but I do know that before I ran downstairs, I saw a whole bunch of keys circle around the F12 Key, shattering it to bits. I don't know when I'll ever find a use for F12 except maybe as a boss key, but I still worry, because I might lose more important keys like F8 (the one that allows my laptop to connect to a projector), Page Up (the one that increases volume) and the Function key (the one that makes all the keys do something special) and I just can't have that.

I have an idea that I think might work. They know better than I who is likely to be instigating the death of other keys and who isn't, so I'll let them decide. mob justice style. Thanks Diary! Talking to you really inspires me!

General Rules:
(With at least 1 joke shamelessly stolen from Save the Dragons)

1. All discussion is to be done in the thread unless I tell you otherwise. If the thread is locked, there is to be no discussion, even if you feel special because you have mod powers and therefore are able to post in a locked thread.
2. Voting is to be done in bold and in the form
Vote: Iaisy
. Unvoting before revoting is not required.
3. Any private message I send you is called a "private message" for a reason. It is private because I want it to be secret, a message because it contains information I'm sending to you, and a zebra because the black crow flies upside down at midnight. Normally this is where I'd put the vanilla townie PM, but because this game is highly flavorful, there is no generic vanilla townie PM.
4. I don't make mistakes. If you seem to be delusional so badly that you think that I made a mistake, PM me with the post number and description of the delusional mistake and I will gladly explain to you why you're wrong.
5. Anyone who has a day action must get it in before the hammer vote. Anyone who has a night action must get it in before the night deadline. The earlier the better for night, as although I have a 48 hour deadline for night choices, the shorter the night the better. This deadline, and any other deadline I place that uses hours rather than weeks/days doesn't count Sundays.
6. DIE!

er...

Once you die, you may no longer post. Except a bah post with no game relevant information, but that's it.
7. Don't edit or delete posts. Else I edit or delete you.
8. Please treat this game as a commitment. If you plan on leaving for more than 48 hours, please let me know so that I don't replace/reface you. That's right, I'll change your avatar if you leave my game. And I'll make it something embarrassing, like a Teletubby or something else like that.
9. Red italics is my color. Don't use it in case I have to edit your posts. On a similar note, there is no reason for you to double post to fix tags. I'll do it for you 'cause I'm nice like that.
10. HAVE FUN! Else I modkill you. I'm not joking. This is my catch all way of dealing with people who disrespect people/do other unfun things in the thread.

Game Specific Rules:

A: Each day will have a 3-week deadline, except for the first day, which will have a three week deadline starting on January 1st, not only to allow people time back from Christmas, but also so I can hopefully end the first day on my birthday. Why would I want to do that? Well... why not?
B: This is a highly flavorful game, but also a game designed to mess with player's heads. Thus, I am warning you that this game has a slightly higher level of bastard modding than in the average game on mafiascum. However, I will never lie to you, just mislead you slightly.
C: Here is a picture of the kind of keyboard I have on my laptop. All roles are one of the keys from this keyboard.
Image

If you don't know why a private message is a zebra or what your avatar might turn into if you decide to leave my game without telling me, you didn't read the rules. Go back and read them.

I'm sending out Role PMs now. Any post in the thread is considered a confirmation of your role. If you have any questions, don't feel afraid to PM me with them. Otherwise, chat with your fellow players until all the confirmations come in, at which point we will start with night.

Yeah, I know. I might have to number you guys so we can tell you apart, just like I did the Dougs at the summer camp I worked at.

You'd be surprised what mod powers lets you do, especially in the mod forum. There's some really cool arcade games there.

/confirm, but as I said, I'll be away from tomorrow to Thursday (roughly), so even though the deadline for the first day doesn't start until the new year, I'll miss anything between those times.

Really looking forward to this.

Yes, it is in fact a Dell keyboard. My family gets all our computer supplies from Dell.

Sadly, this is probably our best option; everyone has an equal chance of being scum right now, and removing one of them would prevent ryan/junk confusion in the future. On the other hand, it's a really crappy reason for a lynch.

December 21, 2007

Dear Diary,
It's four days until Christmas, and I can feel the excitement in the air. Today in school, the Sweet Sixteen choir came around to different classrooms and caroled for us. It was nice break from Calc BC. But my thoughts today weren't on Calc BC, caroling, Christmas, nor the Game (Crap...) My thoughts were at home for my brand new laptop.

I realized I never explained to you what happened after I wrote that entry in you yesterday. I went upstairs to find the keys covered in little black cloaks. It was kinda weird actually, to see 12 keys dressed up like Death. But then again, everything else I saw up until that point was kinda weird to begin with. So this wasn't too weird, but it was a little more than I could handle, so I just slammed the lid down on my laptop and walked away.

Well, that's what I thought I did, at least. You see, the ~ key held the laptop screen up from being locked into place, and with the help of a big shove from various other keys, threw the lid of the laptop back open. I turned back around just in time to see this happen. This highly insulted me. Not only were the keys on my keyboard suddenly becoming animate, fighting with each other, attempting to kill each other off and dressing up like the Grim Reaper without a scythe, now they were blatantly disregarding what I wanted to do. It made me wonder who was actually in control, me or someone else? I went back and tried to close the laptop again, but the ~ key was still organizing against me. The end result was like the scene near the end of
Night at the Museum
with the guard and the monkey. After a minute of this, I got fed up with this, and left in a WRIT OF FAGE and started to work on my English homework.

Today, I got back and I yelled at the keys. I told them that they have had enough time to just chat with each other, that they need to get to work. With that, my anger took over, I grabbed the ~ key and crushed it in my bare hands, yelling at it that it was useless and that I didn't need it anymore because I'm no longer taking Spanish. With that, I slammed the lid and said, "I'll deal with y'all later!" I'm just so frustrated at the stupid keyboard. I'll be a lot happier when this all is over.

----- Your Humble Narrator
Iammars

With one person left to confirm, I'm prepared to start Night 1. Please send in your choices now. Night 1 will end at 11:15 PM EST on Monday (Forgot to post up to that when mentioning deadlines, I don't count Sundays) or until I get everyone's night choice, depending on whichever comes first. Good luck everyone!

December 25, 2007

Dear Diary,
In reality, I am writing this entry about the day before, December 24th. I just didn't get the time to write until now because I spent most of the day writing college application essays. Ugh, how I hate writing those, especially since I still can't write on my new laptop.

Speaing about my new laptop, I guess you want an update on what's happening with the eyboard and all the weird eys that are plaguing my life right now. You see...

Wait a minute... Let me try that sentence again.

Speaing about my new laptop, I guess you want an update on what's happening with the eyboard and all the weird eys that are plaguing my life right now. You see...

This is exactly what I don't need! I don't need my laptop affecting my other computers as well! Those destroyed buttons, they're getting replaced, because I really would love to smash the one that's doing this to bits! I'll see you later.

Oh and Merry Christmas.

----- Your Humble Narrator
Iammars

No one died last night. Day 1 starts now. Day 1 will end January 21st, 6:01 PM EST. With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch, and a plurality to lynch at deadline.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night... er... Day.

MOD: Both "ryanjunk" and "junk" are fine for referring to the player ryanjunk. "ryan", however, is not fine, as that refers to the player ryan.
