Scotty wrote:@HOST Are you at liberty to say the exact number of PMs that were missing last night? And if so, how many?

I'm the host. I'm at liberty to say anything I want. I make the rules!

Long Con wrote:Host, can a team send in a kill for an absent killer?

Anyone can send me any PMs they want to.

Loom? Why Loom is a marvelous graphic adventure game from the good people at Lucasarts. It features innovative controls, a compelling storyline, and stunning graphics that paint a lush picture of another world in 16 glorious colors. Featuring the creative talents of Brian Moriarty, Loom is a game unlike any other.

It tells the story of a young Bobbin Threadbare, a member of the Weavers Guild who is thrust into adventure when it falls to him to save his world from the Third Shadow. Using a distaff, he is able to perform "drafts", which are basically spells cast by producing a fixed series of musical notes, a gameplay mechanic unique to Loom.

Originally released in 1990, Loom remains a classic, but is unfortunately no longer commercially available. It was last released on CD-ROM in 2008, and an intrepid gamer could likely find a downloadable version on any one of a number of emulation sites.

LOOM™! Play it today!

Golden has ben killed.
You have 48 hours to lynch a baddie.

Night ends in an hour and I am still missing lots of actions.

The Illegible Garden.

Snow voted for Zebra, but because he replaced in mid-day and had already voted the non-player option, I let him post his vote in the thread, so it didn't show up when I copy-pasted the poll into the polls thread.

If there's one thing the Scumm Bar is crawling with, it is pirates, and seeing as how you want to become a pirate yourself and take on the evil scourge of the high seas, this seems as good a a place as any to gather information. Your eyes are drawn to a swarthy, rough-looking sailor in a surprisingly stylish hat, He seems to be waiting for you to ask him something, but have you the courage?

Meanwhile, a fight breaks out, as fights are wont to do in places like this, and Motel Room is killed. He shouldn't have put his elbows on the table.

Motel Room has been lynched. He was the Fettuccine Bros.
It is now Night 1. You have 24 hours to submit your night actions.

Day 1

Links to post histories are now available on the Player List on page 1.

Have fun reading one another.

MP, you've posted 17 times in a row. Is that a record for you? :P

Scotty wrote:Hey @llama!!

Is it possible to get a player post history hyperlinked in the 1st page please? pretty pls

Tomorrow, if I am not too busy.

Black Rock wrote:I'm here and so happy this is game is running at a slower pace.

From here on out, days will last 4 hours and nights will last 30 minutes.

(just kidding)

MovingPictures07 wrote:I wish we had changeable votes.

And people in Hell want ice water.

I think I got all your questions. Let me know if I missed any.

DFaraday wrote:Llama:

The role post says the civvies only need Lechuck, Bob, and the Cannibals dead to win. Does that mean the game will end if the other two baddies are still alive?

Also, the civvies need the cannibals dead, but the cannibals can win even if Herman Toothrot and Head of the Navigator are alive. Does this mean that the game will end if any cannibals are alive and only Herman and Head are remaining for the civvies?

I think that's a remnant from an earlier draft of the game. The civvies need the pirates and cannibals dead to win. If only Herman, the Head, and the Cannibals are left alive, the game will end and the cannibals will win.

Snow Dog wrote:Is it possible to earn gold?

It's possible to obtain gold you don't have, although this being about pirates, I don't know if "earn" is the right verb.

Long Con wrote:Ok, Items... specifically the ones which can be bought, Bananas and Grog. Can more than one be bought at once? If Stan gets the Shovel, then he'll have 30 Po8 (Pieces of Eight). Can he immediately spend 28 Po8 and buy fourteen Grog (at half price) and slam them down on a player, ensuring their lynch? Maybe even better, he could buy a bunch of Bananas, and save them for a rainy day, and never get lynched. It doesn't look like there's any lynch shenanigans among the baddies, so it's all Bananas and Grog.

Only one item may be purchased per night.

Long Con wrote:What exactly do the Pirate Leaders know? What is there that Civvies and/or Cannibals do not know? Maybe they get to know when someone buys something, or the details of Stan's dealings or Carla's fight results.

That's for them to know.

Long Con wrote:Are the Men of Low Moral Fibre just vanilla baddies (with BTSC)?

Maybe.

Long Con wrote:Head of the Navigator - What does it mean to be invisible to ghosts? Just that LeChuck can't kill you?

He cannot be targeted by LeChuck or Bob in any way while he has the necklace.

Long Con wrote:Stan - His role says he can "offer players 2 pieces of eight for an item which they must trade to him." They must. Does that mean he can force the Head of the Navigator to sell his Necklace for 2 Po8? Does Stan have to know they possess the item, asking for a specific one, or is he more like a thief who pays 2 Po8 for whatever they have?

He's more like a thief who pays 2 gold for whatever they have. If they have nothing, he keeps his gold.

Long Con wrote:Meathook - Does he get some sort of info every night?

Some sort, but not necessarily useful.

Snow Dog wrote:I should mention I voted the last option already before I was a player.

You may post your vote in the thread and I will count it, due to the odd nature of your arrival.

MacDougall wrote:Are votes changeable or not?

Why not vote and find out?

MovingPictures07 wrote:I never did play these games; I should.

The first two are available as iPad apps for very reasonable fees. Play at least the first one if you want us to remain friends.

motel room wrote:I just like a week ago bought the Monkey ISland 1 & 2 collection on ps3 because I loved 1,2 & 3 when I was a kid. So this is good timing.

4 is less great, but still had monkey combat iirc.

I never finished 4. I encountered some bug that wouldn't let Guybrush move into the part of the room he needed to be in to solve a puzzle, if I recall. 3 was surprisingly good, however.

The Scumm Bar! This is where all the pirates come to tell tall tales and whet their whistles with a flagon of grog or some of Cook's famous stew. But all is not well. There is an aura of fear that grips the sailors. A few inquiries reveal that the wicked Ghost Pirate LeChuck is abroad, not only ravaging the high seas, but striking terror even into the hearts of those who want nothing more than to sleep peacefully in their beds. Even all the way from his hideout on Monkey Island, his long spectral arm reaches here. Poverty and torpor have paralyzed the island, and driven its inhabitants into hiding.

But maybe you can help! Yes, you newcomers are hungry for a pirate's life, aren't you? If you can rid the world of LeChuck, you will be the heroes of Melee Island, and songs and stories will long be remembered of your great deeds. That sounds pretty good, but you have jo way of knowing how to find LeChuck, so you do the only thing you can think of. Start lynching people at random!

You have 48 hours to lynch a baddie.

sig wrote:So does anyone think the location we pick matters?

Everything matters.

But if everything matters, does anything?

Welcome to scenic Melee Island, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, and the perfect training ground for someone looking to cut his teeth as an enterprising young pirate. At least, it would be if everyone weren't so terrified of the Ghost Pirate LeChuck to leave harbor. Still, one does the best that one can. Head on down to the SCUMM Bar to see what's cooking.

All roles have been distributed. If you didn't receive a role or have questions about your role, PM me.
You have 24 hours to check in before the lynching begins. If you don't check in, bad things will happen to you.
You may now post.

RULES
1. No editing or deleting of posts.
2. No unauthorized BTSC.
3. No being unnecessarily mean.
4. No double targeting or self-targeting.
5. Absolutely no infodumping. There are a lot of information roles this game, and I can't emphasize this enough. Be discreet, or be modkilled.
6. If you have any questions or concerns or if anyone makes you mad, PM me or the MoD. Do not hash it out in the thread.
7. Save early, save often.

Roles:
Civilians: Kill the Pirates and the Cannibals.

Guybrush Threepwood - Our hero, a would-be pirate who finds himself having to thwart LeChuck in order to save his love. He searches for a crew member each night and is told if he finds one.


Elaine Marley - Governor of Melee Island and Guybrush's love interest.. Can role block once per night and starts with 10 pieces of eight.


Stan - Owner of Stan's Previously Owned Vessels and a shameless con man. Buys items at half price, or offer players 2 pieces of eight for an item which they must trade to him. Starts with 10 pieces of eight.


Meathook - A lonely, disfigured freak who lives on Melee Island. Can make his tattoo talk to reveal information, sometimes things he didn't even know himself. A member of Guybrush's crew.


Carla - The sword master of Melee Island. Can pick a swordfight with anyone each night, with a ⅔ chance of neutralizing their vote, ⅓ chance her vote is neutralized. A member of Guybrush's crew.


Otis - A common criminal imprisoned on Melee Island. Can steal one item from any player each night. A member of Guybrush's crew.


Herman Toothrot - A sailor who was marooned on Monkey Island years ago, and has gone a little mad. Searches for a cannibal each night. If he finds one he gets his banana picker back, which he can use to pick bananas.


Fettuccine Brothers - Circus performers working on Melee Island. Once in the game they can fire themselves out of a cannon at a player of their choice. There is a 50% chance that player dies, but also a 50% chance the Fettuccine Bros. die. They win with the civilians, alive or dead.


The Lookout - Keeps watch over Melee Island, but is blind as a bat. Sees something untrue every night.


The Store Keeper - Runs a general store on Melee Island. Three times in the game will have the ability to distribute a sword, a shovel and breath mints to other players.


Voodoo Woman - Mysterious woman who knows about voodoo and stuff. Once in the game can see into the future. Once in the game can make a voodoo doll, which can then be used to make them speak in tongues.


The Cook - Makes the food at the Scumm Bar. Can give grog to people each night.


Captain Smirk - The sword trainer on Melee Island. Can protect one player each night.


Head of the Navigator - The head of a famous navigator knows the way to LeChuck's ship. Has a necklace that makes him invisible to ghosts. Cannot be NKed by LeChuck or Bob, but this necklace can be stolen. Can also search for Pirates and is told if he finds one.

Pirates [BTSC]: Kill the Civilians.

LeChuck - The infamous ghost pirate. Kills nightly.


Bob - LeChuck's undead lieutenant. May role check a dead player each night.


Men of Low Moral Fibre - Pretty shady characters.


Pirate Leaders - In the know about all things piratical on Melee Island.

indies (BTSC):

The Cannibals (3) - Just want to be left alone on Monkey Island. They kill nightly and win if both other teams are dead (with the exception of Herman Toothrot and the Head of the Navigator, whom they can tolerate.)

Items:

Bananas - Remove one lynch vote from player of your choice


Grog - Add one lynch vote to player of your choice

The above each cost 4 pieces of eight.


Sword - Gives the same power as Carla, and reduces her odds against you to fifty-fifty.


Breath Mints - The player who uses them is immune from grog for the rest of the game.


Shovel - Can be used in lieu of night action to gain 20 pieces of eight, once only.

These items can only be given out by the Store Keeper.
