If a Golem nominates a second time, you have to just run the nomination. They are cheating, and you should talk to them about it. It's possible they just messed up. But the alternative is to not allow it, thus rewarding the cheating by confirming they are the Golem. Usually they end up looking shady

Pimp: The Backhanding - Wikipedia

I just learned that White Wolf, publishers of World of Darkness games like Vampire: the Masquerade and Mage: the Ascension, produce a card battler called 'Pimp: the Backhanding'. What the actual fuck? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimp:_T...

I really need to spend more time following interesting people on here, so that I can get the kick out of BSky that I used to get out of other socials. Twitter is a dumpster fire and Facebook is just a bunch of boomers competing with a bunch of bots for who can say the meanest, most awful shit.

Locals shocked by pub's sudden closure A handwritten note on The Abbey's entrance says the closure was due to photos being posted online.

Here's something you don't experience every day. My local pub has closed down because someone shared a picture of it on social media. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I think perhaps you've misunderstood how the character or the game works. You don't kill the Atheist to win the game, you kill the Storyteller. The Atheist is telling everyone in town that God (The Storyteller) isn't real, and that you should kill your belief in them in order to be free.

Matlock Bath is a town, almost in the exact centre of England, that is absolutely convinced it is by the seaside.

The Clocktower cruise was absolutely gruelling. No idea how I survived it, frankly.
