@Seanzie

Oh shit you did, I totally missed them, sorry!

Will post in a minute

You did?

The event schedule was supposed to be:

D1 the storm, handed out alignment plus role check if completed, rng block if not completed)
D2 attack on the south pole, compromise games that handed out a vig to the winner/s (each games winner or winners received a vig shot, if multiple winners in the same game the shot was shared)
D3 the serpents pass, a game of rock paper scissors battle royale, the winner receives a vig shot to use among the losers
D4 day of black sun, hadn't nailed down the competition yet but the reward would have been an unblockable watch to use on n4

The d2 hammer messed with the event timing, and I opted to shift the schedule rather than skip over an event.

Explaining what a soup kill is better is a fair criticism and I do tend towards underexplaining sometimes, usually just because I make more assumptions about people understanding the same shorthand that I do more than I should at times.

The primary intent of the soup kill was to make claiming have some weight and introduce some amount of tension to the process. I did not foresee a bunch of town ignoring it and claiming or soft claiming seemingly without consideration for there explicitly being anti claim mechanics, arguably I should have but I didn't.

The other large goal of having a soup kill was to make day play more important/viable in a role madness game without totally nerfing mech play in the way that a strict no claims rule would, so that people had as many routes to a win as possible. The events were also intended to help with this, but they were largely ignored by town.

This was certainly not a flawlessly designed game, however I do not believe the soup kill implementation was particularly harsh relative to most soup kills or particularly unfair. It probably should have been communicated better tho, and that part I will take some responsibility for.

Claims and then lucky guesses? Night actions?

Largely through claims and correct inferences from hinting i believe

Questioning the need for a soup kill is fair, but it was in the OP that there's a soup kill and that claiming role or character is punished. So. Ignoring that isn't really something you can reasonably blame the host for, you were warned, you ignored it, there were consequences

IBA wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 1:30 pm I'm confused by all these different abilities but how did scum kill five people in one night?

You get a one use soup kill. Submit an ordered list of players and what character OR role you think they are (i won't be TOO picky about role, for example if you say vig and the player is a 2 shot vig ill accept it, but cop and rolecop wouldn't be a match, for example). If a player has multiple abilities, matching one will suffice. You will kill as many correct matches as you make until you reach the first incorrect match or the end of the list, whichever is first. It will be announced in the sod post that a soup kill was attempted/made. It must be carried, and there will be no factional night kill or poison that night. It will be announced in the sod post who carried the soup kill attempt, so use this wisely

Addendum to your soup kill--it cannot be blocked, and it pierces all external protection (ie, pierces doc, bodyguard, gifted vest, babysitter, etc., does not pierce self protection (ie, innate vest, 2nd life, etc) but if self protection is gated will use up a shot.

How the game was balanced:

After the initial rand I looked at what roles scum got. They got two kinda dud roles for mafia, appa and kyoshi, and most of the strong roles were town, so I added a mafia member (hk). The potential healer randed town, so the poison was assigned to mafia--if Yue had randed mafia, mai would have been the poisoner.

Who rolled mafia was not taken into consideration, just the roles they had. If they had rolled five very strong roles, I would have bumped down to four. This was planned pre-randing.

heard the game mentioned and iso'd the host to see what happened, got spoiled on the show

0/10

Tbf i did put a spoiler warning in the OP!

Creature's sokka role made their target's action(s) strong that night, I think that's the only "mystery" left.

The third event was going to be a rock paper scissors battle royale with the winner receiving a day vig shot to use amongst the losers.

In the night! Vulgard kills felicis, grogu, martin, Jack, and LC.

The mafia team of vulgard, hk, bo, mac, sean, and doom have won.

Unflipped roles:

Spoiler: show

Vulgard

Kyoshi
Big Feet

You’ve got big feet. Really big. The biggest of any avatar, in fact! They don’t do much for you though, unfortunately. Oh well, at least you’ve got them! You’ve got no powers while living, good luck.

Falcon

Momo
Lemur Memer

Every night you must send someone an anonymous message containing only an image. The image can’t have any game related text. Fun!

You are town, good luck!

Felicis

Zuko
Blue Spirit

You’re the blue spirit! If you target a member of the fire nation you will kill them. If you target a non-fire nation member you will protect them from any night kills (both factional and non-factional). You may do this three times a game OR until you kill someone, whichever comes first. In addition, you passively cannot be seen or watched.

You are town, good luck!

Grogu

Roku
Dope as Hell Dragon

You’ve got a dragon and it’s so freakin cool, man. Unfortunately you can’t really do much. You have no powers while living but will be permitted to talk to Aang in a limited fashion after you die.

You are town, good luck!

Guillo

Ty Lee
Acrobat

You’re a great acrobat. Very hard to hit! You’re also an expert chi blocker. You have two powers—one gives you a 50% chance to dodge any non-lethal actions that target you that night. The other will roleblock any non-benders and has a 50% chance to roleblock any benders. You may use each ability twice, you cannot use them consecutively or in the same night.

You are town, good luck!

HK

Appa
Cuddly Monster

You’re a big cuddly flying monster. You’ve got a dope tattoo too. You’re honestly the best character in the whole show, and anyone that says otherwise can fight me. Anyways, once per night you can send an anonymous message to a player of your choosing. This message can only contain an image and no game related text. Good luck!

Jack

Iroh
Kind Soul

You’re such a kind soul, that if you’re targeted with a non-lethal night action it will have no effect and you’ll get a neighborhood with the player who targeted you. If you are targeted by multiple people in the same night one will be chosen at random, and the rest of the actions targeting you will NOT be blocked.

You are town, good luck!

LC

Bumi
Eccentric King

You’re an eccentric king. Unfortunately you’re also in exile. If you are targeted at night by any member of either Team Avatar or The White Lotus, the power you are targeted with will have no effect. This does not apply to factional kills.

You are town, good luck!

Boknows

Suki
Fans’ll Fuck You Up

Every night you can target someone. If they are a bender, you’ll stop any non-lethal actions targeting them. If they are not a bender, you will protect them from NKs as well.

Martin

Ozai
Lying in Wait

You’re like a cobra, or a purple titan that totally ripped off your shtick, lying in wait. On N4 and N4 only you’ll gain awesome fire abilities—you’ll be able to target three players, one with a vig shot, one with a jailkeep, and one with a rolecop. If you target Aang all your abilities will fail, but you will not be notified.

You are town, good luck!

Sean

Katara
Quick Learner

Each day you can study a scroll to learn a new ability. You can use that ability the following day or night, as applicable. You can choose not to study. You may only study three times.

Water Whip

Thwip thwip, that's the sound of the water whip. You can attack a player of your choice, this will redirect their action to a random player. This is a one shot ability.

Mystic Healing Hands

You can use this ability to heal a poisoned player OR as a doc save. This is a one shot ability.

Blood Bending

Bend your target to your will--force your target to visit a player of their choice. If they have an active ability this will act as a redirect, if they do not then it will act as a forced sleepwalk.

Doom

Zhao
Moonkiller

Who are you? You’re Zhao, that’s who. Each of the first two nights target someone, if you target the right character they’ll die. Fun!

Tsp

Aang
The Avatar

As the Avatar, you have a smorgasbord of abilities:

Avatar State—Meditation

Allows you to converse with your past lives overnight (must be activated during the day). You cannot do this on consecutive nights.

Avatar State—Combination

You have three one use abilities—a water ability that is a redirector, an earth ability that is a roleblock, and a fire ability that stops any non-lethal abilities that target your target.

Gifted Airbender

Using you incredible airbending ability, you can spin a marble between your hands. What does this do? What do you mean what does it do, it looks so cool! You can target a player at night and be informed what their element is (non-benders will come back as no result).

Plot Armor

The first time you die will fail (including TK). You will not be informed if your armor has been used up or not.

Animal Companions

During the day you can send one message to your animal companions, Appa and Momo (they will receive the same message). Cannot contain explicit identifying information, recipient will be told the message is from Aang but not the player it’s from. This is a one shot ability.

None of your active abilities (all your abilities except plot armor) can be used in the same night prior to n4. From n4 on you may use two abilities on even nights.

You are town, good luck!

I have several thoughts on the game, but for now all I'm going to say is to please be kind to each other in post, no one person lost this game for town. As for mafia, gg you did exactly what you needed to do to win.

@Naviya has informed me they are unable to continue playing. As such, she has been modkilled--she will still win or lose with her alignment. She flips town:

Chit Sang
Riot Starter

You're really good at starting riots. Like, super good. During the first 24 hours of a day if you post "HEY EVERYONE, LET'S RIOT!" and tag the host, for the last 24 hours of the day there will be no hammer and the top two vote getters will die at end of day. Nice!

You are town, good luck!

Hammer remains at 10.

Spoiler: show

After a long and arduous event, seanzie and notanaxehole return, looking battle tested and full of woe.

as a result of the event, @Creature has been shot and dies. He flips town:

Sokka
Emotional Support

You’re the group’s emotional backbone. Every night target someone to give them a pep talk. Good job!

You are town, good luck!

All votes for creature will be counted as no votes, and creatures vote will not be counted. Hammer remains at 10.

In the night! @IBA has died, they flip town:

Jet
Brainwashed

You have no powers by default. If you are targeted by an earth kingdom character or Zuko at any point in time, you will sleepwalk—you will not be informed if you are sleepwalking or who you target.

You are town, good luck!

Also in the night, @Jackofhearts2005 has been poisoned and will die at eod if not healed.

A second point of clarity: Dana cannot heal dead players. She is dead, and heals poisoned players, if applicable.

As a point of clarification: Dana does not count for parity, may not post or vote or otherwise be interacted with by living players.

@Dana has died! She flips town:

Yue
Moon in Waiting

If you die before D3 by any means, you will become The Moon. What does that mean? You’ll find out if you die before D3!

You are town, good luck!

The Frigging Moon

Congrats, you died before D3! You can choose to forego spec chat and heal someone from the grave on odd numbered days. You may also send Sokka one message every other night, starting n3.

Event signups will be taken overnight--there will be rolling 3 person signups, time commitment is 10-15 minutes out of a couple hours.

Thread should stay unlocked now, if there are more issues ping me here or on discord

In the night! @EnderWiggin has died. They flip town:

Monk Gyatso
Mischievous Meditation

You’re very zin. You’re also a bit mischievous! Each night you can throw a pie at someone. Will this have an effect? Yes, of course! If your target targets anyone that night they will be blinded and have their target randomized. This does not apply to the factional night kill. Fun!

You are town, good luck!

In addition! @MacDougall has been burnt to a crisp and died. He was mafia!

Azula
Lightning Hands

You can shoot lightning out of your hands. That’s cool! Twice per game you can target someone with that lightning, during day or night (but not consecutive phases—i.e., if you target someone D1 you cannot target someone N1). If you target a non-bender, they will die. If you target a bender, they will be poisoned and will die at the end of the following phase if not healed. While they are poisoned they are roleblocked, if applicable. You may do this twice per game.

In addition, @Vulgard has replaced butterscotchsundae.

Eod is July 3, 1pm edt. Hammer is at 12.

Spoiler: show

@sig has died and flips:

Toph
Magic Feet

You can use your magic vibration-sensing feet to either detect who visits you OR who visits a player of your choice. You can only do each once and you cannot do them in the same night.

You are town, good luck!

@Luckbox Inc has died and flips:

Mechanist
Gifted Inventor

You’re a gifted inventor! You’re also a wee bit mad, so you’re not really sure what it is you’re inventing! On three nights you may send an invention to a target of your choice—you will not be informed if your invention reaches its target or what the invention will do.

You are town, good luck!

Justin flips:

Cabbage Guy
MY CABBAGES!!

Every night you must target someone, and if they are targeted by anyone else your cabbage cart will get knocked over. You will not be told who else targeted your target, but you will be told how many people shared your target (not including yourself or any passive abilities your target may have).

You are town, good luck!

@Justinrs2 has been modkilled. He will flip at eod.

I'm surprised this has to be said but don't copy/paste or screencap private communication into the game thread without express written consent from the office of the host. Paraphrasing remains fine, of course. If you copied or took screenshots of the offending posts, don't share them in thread or you too will be modkilled.

Day continues, there will still be two TKs, Justin's vote will not be counted and votes for Justin will be counted as no votes, and hammer remains at 16.

A storm has arisen! Six of you have gotten caught in it--if you survive great rewards await, but you'll have to work together to escape unscathed.

The following six players will shortly be ushered into a discord and cannot post in thread or otherwise communicate to the thread in any way until the event has concluded in approximately six hours:

A bit more information!

The event will last about 6 hours, and will happen over discord. It will be easier to do on a computer but it should be relatively mobile friendly still.

About 5 hours until event time, still need a few more people to message me they're in!
