I wrote out a big ol' long post about what I was thinking but then decided it was too long and boring and rambling. So, I'll try to just cut to the chase. (And by the way, in both the iterations of a role with a sliding scale fo points that I've seen saying the name of the role didnt get you anything so thats why i'm using role name)
I don't have as much of a problem believing Media got to exempt some roles from chaos night because the Media in our game got to exempt everyone on her team from chaos night. Thus, I could see MP tweaking that part of the role description to Media gets to exempt several people from chaos night. The thing i am wrestling with is would he allow exemption by role name instead of player name?
I also don't have much problem believing that Zodac has the same power he had in MOTU since the other roles that I've compared are basically the same (I know we can't tell if the *secrets* are the same too). I just think MP would have wanted to put his mark on the role and I'm not sure how he would have tweaked a role like that. Maybe the power is only usable every other night or something like that.
On the other hand, I can see how it wasn't brought up that Zodac was protected until Epignosis laid out his theory. I also can't answer the questions as to how we are going to play the game if we are fearful each time that Zodac will switch the lynch from the highest vote getter, i.e., our biggest suspect to someone else. I know we are operating under many assumptions, the first being does Zodac have the same power and the next being was he protected, and the next being would he have chosen Media as one of his two people, and finally that he was allowed to pick by role instead of by player.
I'm mashing all these things together but at the moment i'm slightly leaning toward believing that we should vote for someone else, someone who we also believe is bad, for this vote today and then if everyone wants to come back for Media tomorrow (day 3). I say slightly though. There are a lot of good points being made.
Question: did the suspicion about russti get retracted? I didnt follow the argument about the time stamps on the posts but if it is important i certainly do want to understand it.
Also, russti I have to say that the role of Media was certainly SVS's brainchild and I agree she did a heck of a job with that role.
A) I think that peeps are way blowing out of proportion our fear of zodac. That said, I didn't play that game. But also - I can't let *EVERY* lynch vote I make be fearful that he will make bad things happen. Ya know? It feels like this role is built to make me paralized in voting. I refuse to let that happen. I encourage those who have more intamete familiarity with the role help us work past it and work to end that threat rather than continue to make us fearful of it.
And B) re: Media - I can see your delema. I have the issue with role name as well. from a different aspect. I think if Media wanted to be civ aliigned he had the perfect chance right there to show us he was cive aligned. But if Media is who he says he is - he did everything but be civ aligned.
C) RE: rustie - IDK -it was a nev theory that might have made sense but I couldn't make heds or tails of it - and also - nev retracted it given he was up too late so I didn't investigate farther after that.
D) Mr. Popularity has been something svs has been playing with for a long time. Since she had the role tbh. It was a major factor in our Dr. Suess game as well. We had wabbit in that role, but he was a no show so I got the pleasure of modkilling him
. She's been tweeking that role for ages now. It's one of the many many reasons I'm so sad she was kicked out of this game so early.
She is a champion. If anyone has a rez - it should go to her.
linki - thank you daisy -
