Re: Transistor [Night 0]
Looking at the roles, I only see one Kill () though, and it lies with the mafia. So I don't think there are any other kills floating around here, at least with respect to 100% success shots.

Oops yes that is what I was referring to, sorry about that. I was also wondering why a video game was named after a developer, but didn't think about it that much. :PMovingPictures07 wrote:Thanks for the info, LA!

Re: Transistor [Night 0]
The Significance of Night Zero
There is a common misconception that any phase ending in "zero" is meant to serve as merely an opportunity to check in and announce one's presence, but that is not always the case. Occasions such as the present invite all attendees to refer to their unique strengths and act accordingly to confer upon oneself a distinct advantage. Foregoing this is also an option, though experts argue doing so is ill-advised.

Regarding the n0 poll, I'm guessing that each option is a different ability that The Process role (independent?) has, and that each individual that votes for a different option will gain information specific to that option.

I'll vote for Jerk, because Epi is a jerk. :P Just kidding. (Or am I?)
Re: Transistor [Night 0]
I have no idea. They all seem kinda random. If they are the Process, Im guessing the Operator is the leader or something.

An Operator is usually conducting and controlling stuff. It might be the person behind the Process.
Im just brainstorming :P I don´t even know if the Process even is controlled by a person.

It's clear that Cloudwalk is the town faction, The Camerata is the mafia faction, then there's "The Process".Elohcin wrote:I think this is a valid theory.

Based on that role listing, and its description of "The Process will manifest itself in various ways", as well as what LA explained about The Process, it seems to be an independent faction, and likely anti-town and anti-mafia, since both Cloudwalk and The Camerata must "destroy The Process" to win.

Re: Transistor [Night 0]
In fact, I find it a bit dubious that anyone would fail to recognize The Process is (1) one role, and (2) independent, but I suppose it's possible if someone hasn't properly looked at the role listing.
So this in particular:

Re: Transistor [Night 0]
Okay, yes reading over the roles again, this does make sense. There are 17 players and there are 17 roles including The Process, so I assume the role is being controlled by a person. Sounds like an interesting role with a lot of power.

Not really.

And Wilgy is being Wilgy. I'm not putting any stock in his declarations of anyone else being good or bad yet. So I'm inclined to put sig's banter in a similar category of "Night 0 silliness" and just chock it all up as non-alignment indicative.

Re: Transistor [Night 0]
Day 1 Begins: Stained Glass
The Camerata are out there. You could see them, but they're hiding. The Process doesn't help things. It only obscures the vision of the city. Maybe if you squint hard enough you can make them out. Maybe you have to do more than squint.
It is now Day 1. You have 48 hours to lynch someone.

Given that reveal, I'm guessing that Epi will gradually reveal all of the role powers as the game progresses, meaning the game will shift from semi-open to open over time.

It's not any better than self voting. I believe he even said it would be a way of finding a loophole. I am tired of the self voters b/c I find it a lack of participation and even more so, a hindrance to one's team whether they are civ or mafia. And I told Epi (half way through the game I just hosted) that I wish I'd have made it a rule that you cannot self vote.

What thoughts do you have, Elo, any? You seemed to dislike DrumBeats's declaration of swapping votes. Why?
Do you really think that viewpoint has any reflection of DrumBeats's alignment, however? What is the mafia motivation for him proposing that?
Not at all. What I meant by that was, while I think it is more likely a 'mafia' type move, there are other possible motivations one might have for suggesting it. So I think it COULD be either.

Re: Transistor [Day 1]
Oh, I could have explained the process better as well. Basically they're a bunch of robots, and each type of robot does a different thing. Cheerleaders put a protective shield in front of another robot as you're trying to kill them, so that makes sense with the ability revealed. I agree that probably the Process role gets to choose between these abilities. I don't remember what all of them do but they're probably on that wiki.MovingPictures07 wrote:

Oh, okay, I understand you now. Any suggestions for what those other possible motivations might be?AllAlongTheBoardwalk wrote:MovingPictures07 wrote:Explain to me what you mean here.

I have something in mind, but I'd like to hear from DrumBeats before I make any judgments.

Re: Transistor [Day 1]
Ah, interesting! Thanks, that actually makes more sense now, to think of The Process as a "collective". Maybe certain robots can even "die" but protect the role itself from completely dying? Maybe the role has some kind of kill protection.nutella wrote:Oh, I could have explained the process better as well.

Re: Transistor [Day 1]
Hold on, check out that poll. There are all 17 players listed, but there's an 18th option for "Cell". What could that possibly mean? We can lynch "Cell"?

What?! I missed a Bioware game?sig wrote:Thanks nutella that is good to know. Epi made a Bioware game awhile back right? Didn't certain players have kill chances in that game. Maybe that is what the kill() thing means?
