can mods hide a thread while action processing happens?
Ya can probably just temporarily make it a PM?

my dreams are coming true
re: anticlaim:
some judgment calls I’m currently making, but open to counterarguments about:
- starting kings are literally not included in the anticlaim at all
- the anticlaim is disabled once all non-starting-king BD are dead (evils aren’t informed when this happens)
- to anticlaim an elected BD king, you have to identify their starting class (not sure of this one)
- to anticlaim a neutral/psycho king, you only need to identify their current class, not starting (not sure of this one either)
and I’m not sure if there’s a graceful way to handle the anticlaim being inherited by the NK if the starting evils are eliminated, some options I’m considering are:
- inform the NK when they inherit it and just accept that this leaks info
- don’t inform the NK, they can submit an anticlaim every day, but it will secretly only do anything once the starting evils are dead
- the anticlaim can be used by either starting evils or the NK at all times, the NK can win this way even if the starting evils are still alive

yeah
i’d recommend making a seperate announcements thread tho
you can temporarily make it a PM although I think you might have to manually kick out everyone who posted in it? anyone want to help me test?

i think this one is probably reasonable? even if its a little bit sus at first
It’s okay to abuse mod powers when it’s very funny, and anything you could do to the drama mill thread that could feasibly be considered an abuse of mod powers is very funny. A great service to Fortress of Lies
actually probably the easiest way to make it so normal people can’t see the thread during action processing (if I so desire) is to just move it to one of the secret categories that most people can’t see? (obviously if there’s someone in the game with access to a secret category I will need to Be Careful and Take That Into Account but that doesn’t seem insurmountable)
