Please ignore me. I got loose from my fathers because they're totally dictators and trying to keep me down, man.


Shouting can be heard once again from a distance.

Anddddd that's my cue to leave! Peace!

DID YOU GUYS MISS ME?

OKAY SO THAT WAS A JOKE QUESTION I JUST WANNA ASK IF ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW WHO I AM? (HINT: THE GREAT KIJAH)
cuz i'm pretty sure I played a game with a mod or something on the forums somewhere. I think they killed me or got me killed but if they did i planned it and i meant to die.

also do you guys like undertale i know it's like a meme or something now cuz of dumb people or something but i actually like undertale.
and do you guys wanna be friends and play games some times or something (i don't have any ToS friends that play ToS)


Hello! Welcome back!

I don't think I know who you are lol but I'm pretty new to this game compared to a lot of people on the forums.

I don't think I know too much about Undertale tbh.

Also, if you wanted you're welcome to add me in game. I accept like every friend request I get for the most part and maybe if we're both online we can play sometime :)
Hello, my name's Elencia! I'm happy to answer questions, so feel free to send me a PM if you need anything! However, I don't have the power to grant your appeal, so please don't PM me about that.

Meganloves wrote:What is your favorite memory from Town of Salem / from the Forums?

I have plenty for sure, but one that sticks out to me is the night Ask Questions/Strategic Discussion/Trash Can got added. TurdPile put the forums in maintenance mode to add them, which was something that had not happened perhaps in the forums' life thus far. The members in the forums Skype group went a little crazy due to the downtime, but, as a GMod, I was able to access the forums just fine, which I told them as a joke. Sturps then accused me of breaking the forums, because why could I access the forums but no one else? And with nothing else to do, the members who were awake rallied around Sturps and made it a meme, which still occasionally gets brought up today.

Huckleton made a comic based on the meme that I know LoF likes to post whenever the forums go down.

That night, I stayed up until 3am my time moving threads to their appropriate board. On a school night! My body was not very happy with me the next day.

Hey! As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm doing a lot better for myself. I hope you've been doing well, too.

I have quite a few goals that I'd like to achieve in life, and some of them won't be happening in this lifetime, unfortunately. Maybe in another one! But for attainable goals, one that is up there is owning a house with a large yard so any dogs I own have a space to run around and play in.

That's a good question.

Assuming the answer can't be everything, lets switch forums I'll go with PM limits.

10 folders of 501 messages isnt enough for VLDR lol

I've had to delete so many quality PMs that I would have loved to sit through and read to relive archived games D:

PM limits is also my choice. Or an actual working dark theme that isn't terrible.

Bomber either changes the game completely, or it's just a kingmaking slot.You can make the argument when it flips the game on it's head it's 'good' and it might make for good stories but I don't think that quality is worth it and I personally wouldn't argue what it turns the game into is good.

(Detonator is pog)

Life is alright. I'd like complete all these projects I have short term. Long term I'd like to develop a game as a side project.

SparkingJayYT wrote:@FM Mods What is your favourite game setup?


I've made a lot of dumb setups over the years. I always liked Majora's Mask FM, Disgaea was probably one of the most ambitious games, but I guess I'm the most proud of Valkyria Chronicles FM. I definitely want to do something like that again someday.

I have a bunch of half finished games. My favourite idea among them was Motorstorm FM. It had a mechanic where you could switch vehicles (Bikes to Monster Trucks, and everything inbetween) and during each cycle there was a race metagame on a track that had different properties.

IDK when you start playing and I have nothing due. Also there's like 3 hours at least of you playing by yourself until you even get to iceborne content.

Honestly I don't know. I've always been interested in small-towns but haven't tweaked a setup yet that I really like.

Metrion.

AbstractGlacial wrote:This is interesting.

How did Town of Salem and the forums affect your life? Do you have any regrets?

I wouldn't have gotten into deception games nearly as much if it wasn't for the forums / ToS. I've met an... interesting group of people through ToS... I spent a lot of time procrastinating other work because I was playing FM or trying to fail at coming up with a setup that wasn't broken.

THANK YOU. To be fair, as I've said elsewhere I was dealing with a crisis in my personal life for the past few months and as such have been more absent than I would have liked. I needed some time for myself. But we're back, JUST IN TIME to write up responses!

watchme1 wrote:@fm mods

Straight up, and anyone who's tried to pass a game to us with one will tell you this: we hate it. It's a fundamentally un-fun role (in our opinion) and impossible to balance. How do you balance a ticking time bomb? It's weird. I think that a lot of games (and yes, it's hypocritical of me to say this) try to do too much. Like, theres a threshold of how much "wacky" a game can have before it turns into a slog. I think the inclusion of bomber costs way too many "wacky points" for most people to want to include since they wouldn't want to concede other frankly more interesting parts of the game.

Hmm

For least favorite role, assuming we're going with the standard Forum Mafia set of roles [So no jailor, etc.] I mean... Bomber kind of sucks big time. Really, just lump all third party roles into a big box and label them with a "this sucks" sticker. Those all suck. Especially vampires, which I have never run in any of my games ever.

Favorite role? Idk man I like going back to the basics. I think that just regular old Doctor has a lot of power and out-play potential. A really good doctor can, in my opinion, more reliably carry a game than a very good vigilante. There's less risk, and not only do you get green checks on your targets, but you also effectively role-block the mafia? Pretty nuts.
