OK.

Is there anything more I can tell you about it? Or are we waiting for Michael McAndrews (Tammo) to answer? Aha. Thank you.

Oh ... that's ... ... cool. I guess... Jerks are so much fun to play with. Can you word your accusation in one sentence, just for a summary? And use character name and screen name? I am still confused about the names. Who did who try to direct suspicion towards for doing something the same as they did to someone during the simulation? What?

Finally, someone to throw furniture with. I agree. In my experience, the bickering noobs are rarely Scum. The Scum is happy that they've decided to bicker giving them the opportunity to glide under the radar on Day One. But, the two who seem to be accusing each other (and I hardly understand their accusations as they seem to be flimsy ego trips) are probably both working for the Town. Let's take a look at someone who needs rooting out, like Science Officer Lieutenant Michael McAndrews. Perhaps he'd like to explain why he felt he should start private communication even though it was not even Day One yet. Why did he feel it was already time to trust someone or did he want me to start trusting him from the beginning?

Why are you such a dick?

I agree with Timothy Mandel. This would benefit the Scum more than the Town to know what power roles they're up against. I wonder if a former Scummy would come out and tell us all the powers the Scum had though. That would benefit us more. However, although the Admiral has stated that he planned to keep the mechanics the same, he may be a little tricksy and actually changed them up. So, we can't really rely on what other people tell us they did in the virtual reality training course you all took. I tested out . The Scum could easily say "I was the head mason!" Then another Scummy sends you a private message and says "Hey, I'm the head mason and I'd like to convert you into the monkhood. Oh poop and pee, I was blocked. We'll try again tomorrow. Let's work together in the mean time though, tell me everything you know." Let's not attempt this.

So, you think Shadows is Scum too, huh? And this bomb story is just a ruse to keep people from killing him. That's probably right. I agree. Let's lynch Shadows. Maybe. I will note that you are conspicuously () coming to a soft defense of ... whoever Tammo is playing ... So, teacher, can I only use my Night Action at night? I'm defiantly confused about this.

There are evil sheep too??? Throw the furniture! Quick, everyone! Grab some furniture and just wing it at something!!!! Waaah!3

OK! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Oh my God, we're all going to die! That man is dead! I know something but I'm not sure I should share it. Admiral, I don't understand what a neutral win condition is. Can you explain it?? Why haven't my other team members responded to the writeboard??? I'm so confused!! Am I only allowed to kill one person at night? Someone explain to me how this works. I'm defiantly confused. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh! :cry3: Now I have pooped myself! We're all going to die we're all going to die we're all going to die we're all going to die!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! How was that? This is a great idea. Let's base all of our strategies off of this guy's dreams. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Why is the host talking to us? That's bad hosting. You suck!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! poop, poop, poop. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! He's the bomb! I knew it! He's the bomb again! And everybody seated is Scum. You thought this joke was just for the confirmation thread??? Oh no! It's for now. Bomb, Scum, Bomb, Scum, Poop, Scum, Bomb! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Poop. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! We have to stay calm!!!! What we do??? How do we stay calm?? Can we do it???? :cry3: Waaaaaaaah. I've pooped and peed myself now. [serious] Why are you PMing me so early in the game? Seems like you're trying to buddy up [metagame] as you were advised to do by an expert last time you got in my trusted circle [/metagame] It's very odd that I would receive a "Yay, we're playing a game together!" message from you before Day One even starts when you have no reason to trust anybody yet. If we had to vote right now, I would vote for you. [/serious] Oh no!!!!! An evil phallus??? Whatever will we do? Waaah!3

Witch!!!!!

Don't worry. People are constantly giving me guns.

?

I see them. They're enormous. It's like there's no white in your eyes at all. Like a dog. Or a wiener.

Stop trying to twist my words, Scummy-Scumm-O. I meant throw the furniture at the door from the inside. Don't you know anything about security?? What good would going outside in zero gravity and throwing furniture towards the ship? Pffft. Throw it! Throw all the chairs at the door! And the table! And our beds! Oh, why won't these forks burn??

Wieners infect us and peel our eyes! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! You throw all of the furniture at the door and I'll burn all of the cutlery! Everybody else hide and don't touch any wieners!!

Infection???? That's a very bad omen. And Shadows and Draggy are playing too. Is Stash on this ship?

It spread to his face too!

There's one in the works, but I'm not sure when it will hit the schedule. I'm guessing late Summer/early Fall, once somebody gets back from vacation.

I know the confirmation thread is usually too early to start throwing accusations around...but, I already got a PM from him to trying to buddy up. My scumdar is pinging. Isn't that your job to count? What kind of host are you? Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!! :cry3: I've pooped myself! What do you mean you can't see? Did you go spontaneously blind? Can't we have good hosts that can count?? Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!

I'm a girl! But, um ... ... I'm an alien girl, so my vagina is where your earth female's butthole is. Trust me. I'm not lying. Yayz! Yargh. Vizvivzvivzzz

Sleep? Yay! That's where I'm a viking!

Oh yeah? Well, Shadows is a bomb! I'll try to rectify that with some plays.

Ensign Jason Falcon here, reporting for duty! I said doodie. I pilot things. I'm told I'm rather good at it. I'm a helmsman! Also, I'm Scum and so is everybody who is seated!!!! Waaah Waahhh waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Look at the pictures! Me want bwankie! This host sucks. Everyone with their hands up is Scum! Learn to host, poo-poo head!!! You all screwed us over by guessing one of us. I'm Scum and so is Pandora, Rufus, CorneliusMurdock, Rick and everyone else who isn't playing! Waaaaaaaaaaaaah! Give me bwankie! (I'm replacing Flipz, how am I doing so far?) Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Jason Falcon hungwy. Want to suck on Mommy's teet! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! 2.0, huh? I hope this ends up better than the first version. Let's put all that ugly mess behind us and scrutinize the pictures closely for clues. Waaah!

Not any MOC. Forum moderators usually have a pretty good idea of the better MOCs that are actively being discussed, so if the frontpage is stale we can promote one of the discussions. We try to keep an active consistency of frontpage MOC posts interspersed with the news, but during times of heavy news features, there may be no frontpage mention of MOCs at all. That's as consistent as we can get with 20-odd people volunteering their time to run the site. If we wanted to be 100% "fair" we wouldn't frontpage any MOCs at all. To be blunt, there doesn't have to be any rule. We can run the site the way we see fit. We're not governed by any set rule of "fairness". That being said, we run the site as fairly and consistently as possible and try to take all people's concerns into consideration. I certainly appreciate the input, but the reality is, yes, sometimes we frontpage good MOCs to keep the momentum going on the front page and some very good MOCs get passed over for news or exclusive set reviews. Another point to be aware of is that our theme moderators actively try to get their forum's MOC content to the frontpage. Even during heavy news times recently, our moderators try to squeeze in a "This is what's happening in the Star Wars forum!" post and feature many quality MOCs to go discuss and enjoy. This is becoming more of a goal of our theme moderators to make sure our talented builders are promoted and encouraged and others are encouraged to critique and learn from them. I'm sure it's something we can discuss, however we have already hacked this software quite a bit. I think the frontpage posts run very smoothly right now. If there were a "featured MOC of the day" we'd have the same concerns. Why can't we do more than one a day? Why do I never get picked? Why did you split the frontpage into two columns? I can't read it now. And on and on. To be honest, I don't see the concern with it at present. (I'm bumping this after two weeks because someone asked me to chime in on it. I was on vacation at the time) I think the flow of posts between news, reviews and MOCs is fair and somewhat consistent but am happy to further discuss any concerns with you guys.

Since this is getting into discussing game mechanics, which Bob specifically asked us not to do, I'm going to lock this again. We can wait until tomorrow when Bob re-vamps.
