It is a forum game, ask Hewitt. It's literally classified as a forum game.
And now I know who wants to kill me :D

I never said such a thing. I said it was unfair that you would treat an RP thread as a "game thread". When you signed up for this, you became aware of the consequences of careful posting. I then said it is ultimately Sacred's call, and he agreed that the RP Thread is fair game.
Sorry Boomer. You're dead. Unless of course Sacred would like to rebuttle. But I am fairly sure his rules are clear.

RP's are forum games; this isn't really a discussion.
Hence, forum game posts don't count as participation.
EDIT for Clarification: This essentially means that posting in a forum game is exactly the same as simply not showing up on the forum. It doesn't protect you, and if someone messes up and attempts to assassinate you in one of these threads, they simply didn't read the rules well.
Quote from SacredATTENTION!: Forum game-threads are the only safe threads. In these threads you can't be assassinated. However, you MUST post outside these threads once every 24 hours or you will be disqualified. This thread is a forum-game thread too, in case you're wondering.

Hewitt, you never said that. You said that about the tourney threads if I'm not mistaken.
I do agree that it should be considered a forum game.
Edit: proof that you never said considering org's thread a forum game unfair
He made it clear TOURNEY threads were fair game, not the RP threads.

Also, can you pleeeeease make it so they can't assassinate in Hewwys tournament threads/Any tourney battles. I'd rather not CnC or ask a question and die.
Quote from Mecha-HewittI think that's a little unfair. You would still have to be killed there. But it's Sacred's call.

Because you didn't bring it up. My assumption was that if you already knew that the threads you brought in question were fair game then so would every other thread that isn't this one. I thought that was clear. Why would you not ask if you thought it wasnt?

Quote from BoomerangReturnsFirefly.. It was a forum game.. I'm safe.
no you aren't. it was in off topic. not general forum.
Aug 24, 2013 6:16 AM #1073113
It was previously in general forum before it was moved by Hewitt.
I didn't ask because I was pretty sure it was safe because it was classified by most people I talked to as a forum game. How is an RP thread not a forum game? Isn't an RP of anything a game?
Plus, seeing as not one person was assassinated in said thread up until now, I assumed it was a safe thread and everyone considered it a forum game. I just don't understand the line of thinking here.

This is confusing because the RP Thread was originally here. But I moved it because...it was hogging up alot of the threads here. So let's just all wait till Sacred comes to sort this out.
I'd also like to ask and maybe this is something others should, is what Ghombeat doing legal? Telling other players how others have posted I mean. It just sounds defeatist and I would agree it's a cunning strategy but as I recall it's never been done before so there's never been a rule not to disregard it.

Quote from Tombistno you aren't. it was in off topic. not general forum.
it started in general forum, it was moved to olit because all the forum games where cluttering up the general forum
we could debate what a forum game is all night, but frankly its Sacred's call and SMT has always been a forum game, its in teh first poast and always has been.
the only reason it doesn't have forum game in the title is that its kind of redundant and the people who actually participate already know that
EDIT: Due to Ninja
>:(
How I feel about Ghombeat right now
Although, I would do the same thing if the info had become public.
nothing in the rules against it
Aug 24, 2013 6:21 AM #1073116
well that much i didn't know. this opens up quite a predicament doesn't it..

Yeah let's wait on sacred. sacred says it is, personally id find it bullshit but ill suck it up and just wait on round two.
And about Ghombeat. I really.. Don't know. That seems like it should be against the rules to be quite honest with you.
Aug 24, 2013 6:23 AM #1073118
Wait for Sacred to decide this because I got scared if I fucking died already.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT HOED UP IM ABOUT TO SMACK DIS BITCH UP
Tombist seriously you need to get with the program. Don't join the game if you're not willing to put effort in. I've already eliminated enough people for doing that and it's getting old as fuck. Quit now or don't waste time.
Why thank you, my good sir.
Ugh. I'm eliminating you for not reading the fucking rules like I told you to. You can only assassinate someone 30 FUCKING MINUTES after their post. Thanks for ignoring the rules. Don't play if you can't read.
For everyone debating on Firefly's post. I'm about to shut it down:
The thread is indeed a forum game. It's roleplay, but it's a roleplaying GAME. But, as The Organization wisely stated, this also means that only posting in forum-game threads essentially means you're not posting in the forum period like the game requires. So there is a double-standard to it. BoomerangReturns lives by the thread of a needle. Firefly, it's time to get tricky, darling.
Just like Tsang, I will let it stay. It makes the game that much more tactical and strategic. He's still in play, thus he can bellow anything he wishes.
PLAY ON, MY ASSASSINS.
Also, front page updated.
Quote from TombistGreat idea. but i'm out. just not for me. i don't log on the forums often enough. sorry to whoever had me as a target. who was it btw?
goodbye cruel forum.
i just can't handle life on the edge you know? ;-; tell my wife and kids i love them.
Quote from Tombistokay my bad friend. i'll continue. disregard that post.
imagine if i ended up winning. fucking hilarious but doubtful.

This is a pseudo-free roam multiplayer choose-your-own-adventure game or a PFRMCYOAG for short although I like to call it an RPG.

The flavor text in this game is simply brilliant. Loving every second I spend reading it.
