The Donner Party - Day 7

#51

I don't know what is more headache-inducing already, the bendy rules or Epig's WoF interpretation of the poll.

My only dillemma is regarding the Forces' deaths. Wasatch cannot be lunched/killed before the other two Forces do, but the other Forces die, in a certain order, after Wasatch does. Is there a contradiction in this or do Great Salt Lake / Fremont die instead of Wasatch, if he is voted for lunch or targeted for a kill on a particular day/night?

I'll choose U. A lot of our names end with U, but, especially in arts, the U in artists' name often got changed to an O, in international (especially French) variants: Enesco, Ionesco... So the U is a more precious vowel. (wtf am I saying)

I interpret this to mean that if we try to kill Wasatch, he doesn't die but one of the other members of his team dies in his place, until they are all gone.

Yeah, that's how I read it. But if it's a lynch, wouldn't it make it easier to know who Wasatch is? Unless after that, he changes his role.

#54

Myes, but in that case, wouldn't Wasatch's identity be compromised*? i.e. we vote to lynch player X, GLS/Fr are announced as lynched instead, so we'll realize player X was Wasatch and then just proceed to wipe out the whole Forces in two-three days, max.

*unless the roles will be reshuffled immediately after the lynch and Wasatch's identity will get lost again

linki: FZ just ninja'd me completely

Oh, and George Donner can only protect someone from his BTSC group, right?

#56

I think "in your wagon train" means any player.

I'm not sure. Every other protecting, blocking role is phrased as "any player" except this one.

#58

Rox~ does wagon train mean any player, or does it mean BTS group?

Cause iirc, the RL Donner party split up into several trains. So that is a plausible interpretation.

#59

So I was really excited about this game starting but now I kinda of scared lol. With the roles changing and everything this seems like its going to be a game of luck, but we shall see.

I going to vote for the letter u.

#60

Yay! Hello Snowman and Zomberella!

Typically, most mafia games around here start with a pregame "Day 0" phase where the poll can be themed off of whatever theme the host used to construct their game. The polls can have some outcome on the game or they can be just a way to get people acclimated before the lynching (in this game, lunching) starts.

I'm leaning towards the former for this one, but I doubt any of us can discern what it'll do.

Welcome new players . I think you chose the wrong game to start your mafia experience. Not sure any of us will be able to help, but ask away

Now, I wonder if the wheel of fortune thing is related to the rotations. Like if we find the right letters, we switch to a new role or something.

I'm going with u

That's my fault.

I thought rotating powers would make it a bit complicated, but I knew there'd be a lot of BTSC, and Roxy games are always fun.

However, I didn't realize there would be rotating alignments.

At least, if they make it through this game, subsequent games should be a breeze.

Do not worry. I am totally up to the challenge. As an actual direct descendent of the Lavinia Jackson Murphy family, I am especially equipped for the task. Let's eat!

Heh... the member of the Donner party that was secretly a zombie the whole time. "You know, I DO recall her casually bringing up eating people, even before our supplies ran out..."

#63

Alex brought a zombie and a snowman to the party. One is equipped to eat other people, and one can survive the winter without food.

I feel at a disadvantage here. At least as a marmot, I am suited to high altitudes and cold weather.

#64

Llamas come from the Andes, so I know all about mountain survival.

#65

I am Skeletor, the evil Lord of Snake Mountain. Also, I am already partly a skeleton.

#66

I have survived two days once without drinking Pepsi, so I'm good to go.

#67

Does anyone have a shirt?

Supplies are for mortals! Me want braaaaainz!

Ooooh. I didn't do that quote right. Lemme try again.

Now give me your brain please.

#71

I don't really feel like lunching on zombies.

#72

I don't feel like lunching on people just yet, but good thing we have a marmot and a llama.

#73

Why not 'O'?

#74

So it appears we have 16 votes already! That means only one player hasn't voted yet, and I think that player is Ninja Blooper.

Other than that, I think only one player voted but hasn't posted yet: TySlayer.

Hopefully the Host can start D1 soon then!

#75

I'll order a Day 1 with a side of fried phalanges.

From what I've noticed so far, Blooper usually comes late in the evening to post or vote. Might be the case today as well.

But otherwise, yeah, hopefully soon.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I'm just shocked (pleasantly) that so many players have checked in already, so maybe the Host can give us an earlier Day 1. Otherwise, for now I eagerly await the game's real start.

#78

Hurry up and check in Ninjajujube!!

#79

I'm here! Sorry I'm the latest - I tend to work until nearly 5 and have a 25 minute commute. Today was an early day

I'll vote E, because it's the most common English vowel. Also, English is the shit.

#80

Mom just told me to say something that's funny, makes sense, and doesn't offend anyone around me. I think I have my work cut out for me.

So much agreed.

#83

WARNING!!
I will not be making a poll thread you will have to track votes yourselves this game!
Day 0 ends very shortly-----

#84

As night draws down everyone gathers around the Donner's tent.
Mr Donner clears his throat "Everyone get your nights rest - we leave at dawn!"
With that everyone returned to their own tents and turned in for the night. There were many a dream about the adventure and riches that awaited them on their upcoming journey.

Weather and Hunger smiled at each other and spoke "and so it begins!" they laughed themselves to sleep.

This will considered an even night for all intents and purposes - no kill powers can be used all other powers will be in play this night.

#85

Just in case it had any bearing:

And I happened to be home at the right time today, that may not always be the case. So if you are around when polls end, save them

And I like a non-kill opening night

Only those in his BTSC "wagon train" sorry if this is all confusing - hopefully it will find its groove by Day 2 or so

Yay! I love marshmallows.

That is what I thought, it only applies to ones own group. Thanks

#89

A non-kill Night 0, huh? Haven't seen one of these in a long while.

Oh, he's a sly one. Nice try, Epi, he almost fell into your trap.

How about we lynch Epi on D1?

I don't recall falling in any trap before.

#98

Has anyone had any luck thinking about how to attack this game's unconventional role alignment possibility?

I still haven't cracked this game and figured out a way to enhance the civilians' chances to win... There has to be a way other than just luck, but I haven't thought of it yet. I suppose understanding the mechanism by which roles and alignments will change might alter that, but other than that, I just can't think of what we're going to do this game in terms of evidence and case building.

If everyone's roles change every night, I can literally think of nothing to do than to blindly lynch players.

If we're going to lynch essentially at random, I'm fine with that.
