Yeah, nutella, you were a Musketeer... dimensional travel must have given them some form of amnesia! That darn cat messed up all my plans for you guys. I think it would have been a lot of fun, and certainly would have engaged insertnamehere to a greater degree.

How about the Tribunal Night Zero poll?

This in the beginning crippled any hope the civilians could have possibly had from the outset.

Why make a mafia member all but immune to lynches?

There were days I was a revealed member of Mafia, with my role known, that I could have been lynched and wasn't. I was also within the kill range of Mafia many many times.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 1:14 am Oh and also it seemed to have got balanced by the fact that our entire team got infodumped so what does it matter.

You sound like I'm accusing you.

I'm not.

I'm saying it's a badly written role for anybody to have (especially mafia).

Nobody should ever have -5 votes- especially mafia.

The fact that I outed your entire team and you still won should demonstrate that.

I am just saying that there were many opportunities for me to be killed or lynched that were not taken. My role didn't make me impervious to death which means that the in game mechanics only served to make me a difficult mafioso to contend with rather than an impossible one. I should have been lynched as soon as DharmaHelper noticed I was the Kraken.

Also it's not as though it was "oh I have -5 votes this game is gonna be easy". I ended up having to make 950 posts to get the job done. It was a slog.

I don't mean that- what I mean is that once a mafia member is "caught," that mafia member should be able to be removed via the lynch poll.

That was never going to happen, because it meant needing 5(!) more voters on you than someone else in a given lynch. Yes, you could have been killed, but how many people ventured near the water knowing the Kraken was there? I went to the water one time in the very beginning and that was it.

You are almost impossible to lynch, especially as the civilians numbers dropped and the independents had the run of the show. There was no way for you to lose.

Have civilians ever won one of these "A World" games by the way? I know the Circle of Decay won last time. I don't know about games on other sites.

I was in kill range of members of the other team at least 5 or 6 times.

Doesn't negate my point. Most civilians don't have a kill.

Civilians shouldn't have to depend on mafia eliminating mafia to win.

Epignosis wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 12:37 am I adopted the Karma Chameleon thing because I was the KC for a couple of phases. I kept changing win conditions and powers. I was The Darkness, then The Hunger (allied with Jagged Blade), then KC (who had to survive), then I found a horse, then I was the "Avatar of Long Con" and needed to be dead to win and the civilians needed to win.

Long Con seriously asked me if I had a plan to win.

Long Con wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 11:51 pm Speaking of Items, your Night Poll last night revealed this:

Helm of the Juggernaut - Your night actions cannot be blocked or protected against while wearing this helmet.

Wind Mask - Allows underwater movement at a rate of 2. Increases land movement by a rate of 1.

Soul Net - Catch one of the Spirit Wrangler’s spirits. Single Use.

Blink Whistle - Summon another player to your square. Single Use.

Devil’s Compass - Can direct the wielder to the Item of their choice. If the Item is within range, the wielder knows the exact square. If the Item is out of range, then the wielder knows the square that gets them closest to the Item, even if that square is not accessible.

Golden Drop - The Host will tell you all there is to know about a Game Secret. This information cannot be falsified by any power in the game. Single Use.

Bronze Spiral - The wielder accepts a Dwindling Curse for a diminishing protection. Each day decreasing. Starts at 7 extra votes, and a 70% chance to avoid harmful night actions. Next day, 6 and 60%, and so on.

Thunder Gavel - Wielder may stop one lynch. Single Use.

Honey Pot - The wielder of the Honey Pot can store the value of a vote inside the pot, making a seeming vote worth zero. The vote can be released during any Day phase, at which time a public announcement will be made that a player has an extra vote on them.

It's a role from a game on a different site that LC also played in. Could probably go dig up a link but idk that it would be helpful. He was a good guy in that game though.

Wherein Lamplighter and the Dragon save the day over and over and defeat Anubis, a housecat, a butler and Donald Trump.

Why don't you trust Jack?

I just don't. He has been off to me since day dot and his attempts to supertown have been insincere sounding.

And with that, Jack died of a broken heart.

If it's any consolation, you do have the best gif game.

I don't have ACTUAL INFO that points in that direction but I have my reasons.

Oh?

I don't think I'm allowed to go into actual details tbh. I already broke the rules once.

But I think the main thing is that Jack is flat out lieing about having been poisoned. That I'm sure of. Now why he lied about that is anyone's guess.

I guess if he dies from poisoning we’ll see if you’re right or wrong

I can't really explain, I just don't trust him. As he said, he and I tend to think along the same lines in games. And everything he says makes me go, "Hmmm". Then there is a thing that happened in a time and place we don't really discuss. It's not info, but it is a thing that made me go "hmmm". Nothing strong enough that I have tried to case him, but enough of a thing that I won't take what he says as Gospel, but with a grain of salt instead.

I saw your other post, and yes, I looked back at that game and you were a civ. I was super frustrated that game, I called Jack bad from maybe his second, maybe even first,post, and everyone spent the whole game blowing me off, and this game has the same feel. I am sad that sig, and his role, dies, but glad that he was able to clear some stuff up for us.

I have to do some stuff, then I will be here for the evening.

Voting "Sheol" in solidarity with LoRab, let's hope she wasn't civ (I could go either way on that). Be safe out there in DHs hellscape. Woo Hoo!

A Dangerous Man

sig was led out of the courtroom, Guilty verdict still resounding through the walls. His hands were tightly bound, and his mouth was gagged. He was surrounded by six burly guards, who each came only as close to him as was necessary. As they exited the building, one of the guards suddenly drove a spear through the neck of another, throwing everyone into shock and panic.

"Betrayal!" cried another guard, attacking the first. A fourth guard drove a spear into that guard's ribs, falling back from a vicious thrust from the first. As the fifth guard began to enter the fray, the sixth quickly jammed the butt of his spear into sig's temple, knocking him unconscious. Each of the guards fell back, regaining control of their minds.

"He really is too dangerous to let live!"

"I'm not comfortable with someone who can read my thoughts!"

"How do we even know we can trust him? The legends say he is evil at heart."

sig was executed without regaining consciousness.

sig has been lynched! He was the Psionic Ninja, a Civilian.

It is now Night 5. Send in those PMs!
