Day 2 Morning News

I report this morning the murder of Manish. Another day, another innocent bystander.

Please submit your votes for whom to be killed next, in the next 12 hours. Remember, everyone gets a vote.

-------------------

Indeed the problem is having everyone in different timezones, and another problem is not having everyone at presence so you can't scout whos who by looks and actions. I agree this game is slow progress, but actually I could suggest everyone presense at one time, and have votes instantly (3 minute cycles). The game could very well be over in half an hour.

I don't know how I could strictly enforce the 2 consecutive vote elimination rule, half of the people did not vote last cycle... including those who should be the most active (Mafias/Informed Townspeople).

you are reading it wrong. On sundayx list, there is a number next to the user name.

tut damn. i was one of the people that voted for Shof. (yay me) i think these people are also mafia btw: addc182, mikebiacsi and aubaine? not sure obv its early on in the game. also if your the sheriff PM me. lol.

btw i think only players that vote consistently should be allowed to play in future games (as well as new players obviously). the active players from this round should have priority places in the next game over any other players. new players should have priority over previous players who have missed 3 or more consecutive votes.

perhaps when we do have more than 20 active members who vote consistently, we could increase the no. of players and have additional roles (i.e. more mafia, a godfather - mafia leader, more townspeople, deputy, nurse, etc etc).

got you scared though didnt i :p

well not you shof

you're already dead

*casts vote*

:shifty:

additional roles (i.e. more mafia, a godfather - mafia leader, more townspeople, deputy, nurse, etc etc).

that sounds good to me for next game

it gives more of a chance for people to have "power roles"

Hey now, the dead can't accuse! Especially since you would have seen your murder(s)!

I'm not Mafia though. Ok, ok, yes I am. Lol, no seriously, I'm not. ....Ok, I admit it, I am. No, no, I'm just joking, I'm not. *Shakes head*. *Nods head*

Anyone watch Eddie Izzard? :laugh:

Btw, I did see someone in a black suit and sunglasses leaving the scene of the crime... Any guesses as to who it is? I'll give you a hint - he dropped a business card that read "Association of ex-Neowin Mafia Mods"

LOL

and

wtf is the point of a business card that doesnt have a name on it?

ridiculous

but very tricky clue to follow

ill put 100% of my brain power to working out who it was

:p

what were you doing at the crime scene anyway aubaine?

killing more Manish?

and then planting evidence?

or are you the sheriff?

i think aubaine is right. think about it, what better way to reward a former mod than give him a mafia role? it is after all the funnest of all roles.

we know after all that shof turned out to be mafia, and probably he was rewarded with that role for havng had a hard time in the previous game, given as well how keen he was to play

are things in life really random ? or is there a pattern ?

I think you could be right about Lt-DavidW, however Zombie is still keeping very quiet like she's trying to remain annonymous. And I'm still not sure about mikebiacsi. Then again all 3 of those guesses could be wrong, in fact I could be part of the mafia... :ninja:

*Casts vote too* :shifty:

Not that it isn't appreciated, but it's the rules that you can't help others in the game once you are dead - the dead cannot speak.

perhaps when we do have more than 20 active members who vote consistently, we could increase the no. of players and have additional roles (i.e. more mafia, a godfather - mafia leader, more townspeople, deputy, nurse, etc etc).

Please hold off talking about the next game until this one is at least half done. It spoiled the ending of the first game.

i think aubaine is right. think about it, what better way to reward a former mod than give him a mafia role? it is after all the funnest of all roles.

The rules clearly state that positions are randomly chosen. If I am voted off everybody will kick themselves, enough said.

    • Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2391 Beta changelog: Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.3 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account by Usama Jawad As things currently stand, Microsoft Edge only allows you to sign in to the browser with a Microsoft Account (MSA). This allows you to sync your browser settings and other data across other devices, as long as you sign in with the same account. However, Microsoft is now modifying this mechanism in a way that will likely please many users. In an update to its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has indicated that it will soon let users sign into Edge using a Google account from the profile menu and the Edge sign-in screen. This will be in addition to the MSA login option, and it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account. This brings several advantages such as the ability to sync your data across devices using just a Google account. It may even facilitate flexible single sign-on (SSO) experiences where you can quickly login to websites and services through a single Google account that is presented as the preferred sign-in option. Up until now, Microsoft allowed customers to indirectly use a Google account, by configuring a Google account as a Microsoft account, or by setting up a one-way sync option between Edge and Chrome. This is a rather interesting development, especially considering that Google Chrome still limits you to a Google account sign-in, but it will be interesting to see if the company reciprocates Microsoft's gesture in the future. This is not the only recent instance in which Microsoft has extended a handshake to Google via Edge. In April 2026, it began tracking the development of a work search banner for Google Search queries, just like the one present in Edge. However, if we go back almost seven years, to January 2020, Microsoft had emphasized that it had no plans to "integrate Google services into Microsoft Edge by default", in response to people requesting Google sign-in services on Edge. Fast-forward to today, and Microsoft is planning to release this feature in July 2026, with IT admins having the option to control its availability on Windows and macOS through the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy.
