OptOut | 8,883 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Contrary to popular rumours, I did NOT die in a sexual misadventure involving a Nintendo 64 controller (inc. rumble pak), a can of tuna and an alleyway full of stray cats. I survived (largely) unharmed and massively sexually gratified. However, that is besides the point, the point is the GOLDEN GANONS 2023 ARE ON THE WAY, scheduled to begin in January! Obviously we missed last year, due to the unforeseen incompetence (and unrelated incontinence) of one MISTER @Gloves. Due to this, we will be opening nominations to ALL CONTENT posted on the site since the inception of VGS, rather than restricting it to the prior 12-months!!! That's right @Jeevan... Chili VS. Potato is in with a chance! So, there's plenty to do to get ready, and as this is the first year obviously we will be trying things out and seeing what works, with the hopes of tuning the experience in future years, but it should hopefully be a lot of fun! If you want to contribute any further ideas or suggestions, please feel free to comment below, or alternatively PM me directly with bribes to push your nominations further up the rankings!!! 2 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, dude - I'm still trying to re-build my good reputation after destroying poor @Jeevan's game of SMB Werewolf last summer haha. But in any case - looks like it's time to start campaigning my greatest contribution to VGS... -CasualCart 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well, I'll be protesting if there's no Werewolf MVP, 2019-2022 (and we all know that will be CasualCart!)" Seriously though, man. That was a fun game. I understand you didn't know the rules but Werewolf thrives on chaos and having someone unexpectedly be unwilling to lie as a werewolf created mass chaos. It was fun. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still one of the greatest tragedies that has ever happened on the site in my eyes. You would've been such a fun guy to play with! Haha. Still to this day sad we missed out on some of the great sketches that would've come from you being a WW regular. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A WW game with no real setup is always a tad bit more boring for me to play in personally, I really like the spice a good setup introduces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A WW game with no real setup is always a tad bit more boring for me to play in personally, I really like the spice a good setup introduces. When I first played Mafia/WW, all the players had to make list of media that like/loved. The DM would write the night actions up and leave hits about who did the night actions. Both town power roles and scum. "The village idiot didn't listen to the group that night and decided to venture out of the safety of the group's cabin. He wanted to try and find the killer in the act and be declared the MVP town hero. He was so incompetent that he didn't even hear the charging of the arm cannon that blew a cantaloupe size hole into his chest. @OptOut was kill, he was VT" And we'd comb through people's lists looking for who had MegaMan or Metroid as a game they liked. It was also dicey to try and figure out the clues for town power roles so you didn't accidently kill them in the daily votes. Or to target them or avoid them with your town power ability. In the end the DM would explain what the clues were and from what movie/show/game it came from. Overall clue hunting is an easy way for new people to play the game but veteran players don't need any clues to blindly vote and kill on Day 1. No clues puts A LOT of pressure to get things right late in the game. DM can really put the thumb on the scale when it comes to the clues too. Usually the clues where vague enough that many people could have the clue point to them. Or it was stupid hard to know the reference and if you knew it, it would pin the scum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
