The Syndicate

i wanna be a mage

mages are cool, and i don't want to have to change my avatar

is Rico actually playing

Mage x1
Sage x1
Shaman x1
Monk x1

these are my top choices. i have a strong preference for magic users. cleric or troubador might be cool too but i'd have to change my avatar to someone with a stave.

I wonder why nomad is last on the list? nomads are basically archers with horses and rugged good looks

what role do you want, babe? since I will be given first choice, being the greatest scumhunter of all time, I'll pass the second role onto you.

and i thought we had something

that was so 2017.

honestly thought u were kylemii soz not soz

I don't call Jay "babe", Jay and I have different and much cooler pet names for each other.

my preferred character build is mage, sage, or shaman, please.

"At night, all flying players will resolve their actions first. Then, all horse riding characters will resolve their actions. Then, all infantry will resolve their actions. Roleblocking a player who has already resolved their action will have no effect, etc."

flying roles first. a thief is in the last group of roles to take effect.

now I see why people want to be mage.

I think mages still count as infantry cus they don't ride horses or pegasi.

[mention]Jackofhearts2005[/mention] does that mean the mage can't reverse the action of any rider types?

low role priority isn't as much of an issue if you already know who's faster than you

[mention]ColinIsCool[/mention] chooses first, then the player he chose for chooses for another player and so on. rn we're waiting on Colin

it seems like mages are in pretty high demand, if I end up with something else I won't mind

I'm pretty sure I had the Robin avatar before you

But if I don't get mage I'll gladly change it. Good luck to the both of us!

I changed mine as soon as I signed up for the game, but I intend to change my avatar to something that fits whatever role I get for roleplay purposes anyways. Even if I do get to be a mage or a sage I'll probably change my avatar to Erk or Klein or someone. You don't have to switch if you don't want to.

do I have to wait for Jack or just go on?

I think just go on, if we all wait for Jack this will probably take forever

[mention]Kenway[/mention] make me a sage and I'll change my avatar from Robin to something cooler. <3

hell yes

um.... who wants a class

quin do you still want myrmidon?

test test how do i look

Corrin is an actual dragon. I think manakete? Wyvern knights ride around on the backs of wyverns like Pegasus knights do.

Kenway wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 9:55 pm I guess the spoilers are starting. :/

Corrin being part dragon is literally revealed in the first 30 minutes of the game as well as their entire moveset in smash bros. being transformation bases. I'll be more careful from now on though.

[mention]Jackofhearts2005[/mention] do level gains matter for pre-promoted units like sage and paladin?

dunya wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 11:15 pmAlso Epi is mafia by your own account cos he gave you a kill role

I wanted rundontwalk to have it because he's impulsive and will use it.

what

rundontwalk is one of the best civ vig players I've ever played with. He's not always tight, but he does things and moves things. He's not afraid of being wrong and always hesitant. And a lot of times his confidence pays off. You guys haven't played with him before so you don't see what I'm saying. Giving RDW a lethal weapon is a good thing in my books. Also he's the future US president and doesn't lie.

ohhhh that's almost the exact opposite of what i would call impulsive, i understand now

if possible we should try and make sure the cleric ends up in the hands of someone active

knight should also go to an active player if possible. or at least a player that's present. bulletproof jailkeeper isn't anything to sneeze about, even if the effects are a day late

where's rabbit? :[

[mention]rabbit8[/mention] please assign a cleric, or knight to someone

rabbit8 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 2:13 pmNo?

please

is it still stuck on rabbit?

I was pinged by his eagerness to receive a killing role, but a lot of that was contingent on Dunya's influence and.... Dunya has already slid into her standard role of out-posting everyone 3 times over.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. You were pinged by his pursuit of a killing role, depending upon exactly what from dunya?

I mean that the fact that Dunya was the one who was mostly pushing for him to get a killing role and not rdw himself lessened my concern on that issue. I might have used the word "contingent" wrong. basically "rdw is bad Because he tried hard to get the wyvern role" would require w/w dunya and rdw.

Wyvern Knight is maybe the most dangerous role to have in the wrong hands in this game, I could see the mafia going a little out of their way to grab WK or maybe one of the thieves to skew the power balance in their favor.

I figured that was probably why Epignosis gave the wyvern role to sig instead, since rdw seemed like he wanted it and sig wanted cleric or something. Of course that's also kind of a different ball of wax, but I think in general the wyvern is better off with a player who didn't want the role.

[mention]rabbit8[/mention] give us a clerrrrrrrrrrric

dunya wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:07 pmOn the other hand, Wilgy specifically asked nutella for it. What do you make of that?

mmmmm wilgy also asked for shaman and pirate in the same post, I get the sense that he was just asking for the roles he thought seemed thematically coolest, which is a pretty "Wilgy" thing to do.

I still 100% agree with nutella's choice to not give him wyvern.

should i assume that every player i don't recognise the name of is from rym or are there any new faces from different places?

hmmm

who would you have given wyvern to?

mmmm if I had to choose.... well if i had a *strong* early townread on someone then i'd give it to them. otherwise i'd give it to someone who seemed to completely not want the responsibility or risk of having a strong power role at all. if a player has especially good mafia instincts then that would be frosting but that wouldn't be the basis of my decision.

you don't think at least 1 maybe 2 mafia members are playing the idgaf what role you give me card?

oh, no that's definitely probable. I'd expect the mafia to take varied approaches to seeking roles. If all of them rushed for the good shit then it'd be super conspicuous but if they all acted super casual about it then they might end up with trash.

there's also the factor that the mafia wouldn't necessarily have to resort to begging to get at least a couple of good roles since they could just give good roles directly to each other and control their team composition that way, without having to beg.

dunya wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 8:40 pmthere's only 5 scum members, so you think at least 3 of them are directly linked with each other? Because 1 gives the other and so on. Your post makes it sounds like you think more than 1 person got it that way which would incriminate 3-4 players if 2 roles were handed from scum to scum.

no not at all. i'm just theorizing. and I don't know where "at least 3" is coming from. i doubt the mafia would rush to make a draft chain to draw the best roles all at once. i'm saying if 2 mafia were online at once and one of them were to receive their role then there'd be extra incentive for the chooser to give their buddy a beneficial role.

it's also not as simple as that either since there aren't any actual bad roles. every role has some positive utility of some kind. the only role I can't see benefiting a wolf is maybe the cavalier, and even that has some utility.

at least 3 is coming from this scenario:

Town ColinIsCool assigns role to Scum Marmot
Scum Marmot assigns role to Scum Quin
Scum Quin assigns role to Scum Kyle

2 roles were assigned by scum to each other, 3 scummers are linked.

that scenario is not what i'm talking about. i agree it's unlikely.

im saying:
Townie A gives role 1 to Mafia A cus mafia A is online and mafia A asked for role 1
Mafia A gives power 2 to Mafia B cus mafia B is online and power 2 can benefit their team
Mafia B gives power 3 to to Townie B cus Townie B is online and asked for power 3
draft chain continues

[mention]sprityo[/mention] don't forget you have to draft someone else's role too

I'd appreciate if mercenary and knight were put into active hands.

seconded :x

colonialbob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 10:29 pm Sprit I'd like Pegasus Knight or Mercenary, I think.

Are there any other players here without a role?

colonialbob
Kites
Marmot
Iron_Dwarf
Dr. White
Long Con

still need roles

gwilikers6 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 9:49 pmThere's definitely a chance something like this happened, but is it really worth thinking about at this point in the game? And even when we know a scum, there'll be so much wifom to sort through, and I think Dunya's right about the way in which the draft was done kinda preventing such things from happening, to an extent at least.

I don't think it's worth thinking about, I was explaining my reasoning to dunya about how the mafia might try to set themselves up without drawing attention to themselves, which itself was a tangential discussion to dunya asking me what kind of player I would choose to be a wyvern rider.

at best I think the draft order can be used as support for possible player links but I don't think it should be the sole basis for suspicion on anyone unless there's something especially fucked up that demands attention.

colonialbob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2018 11:33 pm So should I distribute a role now or wait for somebody to be in thread?

Sorry Marmot I can't give you cleric. Iron_Dwarf requested fighter or knight, I'm currently inclined to grant that request unless somebody else has a better one.

I guess you might as well wait until someone comes online, and then if you have to go offline you can just give a role to someone who you think is likely to come online next. As long as you don't go offline without picking someone like rabbit did we can keep things moving.

hey im dead everywhere else so let's get this thing rolling

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 12:44 am Heresy! No, hey, this has started for real now? Accuations and stuff? I thought it was all role-picking in order, and I figured I'd get notified or something when it's my turn. Do I pick a role I want? Full disclosure: I haven't read anything and am posting blind right now.

player A pick a role for another player B and so on. CBob chooses next.

first page has all the remaining roles, you should check them out and make a request to streamline the process.

6 more....

did lc just log off without giving anyone else a role :[

Long Con wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 2:32 am no! How does this work?

you say something like "I give jackofhearts merchant or whatever. Preferably to a player that's currently online and has requested a role but you can really pick anything as long as it's one of the 6 unclaimed character classes

linki oh you're already doing it
