as to the commitment aspect....

if in the next game (if there is one) you set participation rules such as :

1. each person who signs up agrees that the game will last a week or whatver

2. each person who signs up agress to vote every day and, if applicable, to do their duties as sherriff/doc/mafia as well on a daily basis. people who miss more than one of these days responsibilities will spontaneously combust

3. each person who signs up agrees to post to the game thread at least once a day, with something to stir up the other players, whether its true or lies

just some thoughts.... btw, who did the mafia kill today?

I think maybe some of the people signed up for the hell of it but then couldn't actually be arsed to do much, hopefully next time everyone will get more involved and work together rather than just guessing and not communicating much with each other.

I agree!

I like the idea of an alliance. There has to be more strategy.

Sorry I'm late, but I'm trying to fit this around my life as best as possible. Anyway...

Day 6, Night

DaveAlmighty is the latest citizen suspected to be Mafia.

He was beheaded in the town square this morning, however the two remaining Mafia members have said that he is not Mafia.

The Sheriff suspects that perhaps the Mafia are influencing the voting, and therefore all remaining townspeople have to act quickly to stop the Mafia from gaining control over the town. It is now time for everybody to step forward and make unilateral votes in order to find the two remaining mobsters and win back our town.

Day 7, Morning

MORNING NEWS:

One week on, and the Mafia are stronger than ever. Later tonight the Neowin Times will be holding a special event to celebrate the lives of our recently lost townspeople. There will be fireworks and a barbecue. Book your tickets now.

In other news, Hankyone, or what appears to be Hankyone, was found in little pieces at the coast this morning, after having been fed through a woodchipper. The Mafia were seen fleeing the scene in their orange wagon. A pair of scissors appears to be left behind, which is currently being examined.

If you don't want this to happen to you tomorrow, get voting now!

Man I am still waiting for the "tied up and sledgehammer to the limbs". And how are we to "celebrate" for the lost townspeople. It's is like saying they lost their lives so we could see who the Mafia is... alright that may not be a bad thing.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
