It's not 100%, but in my experience when things like this drag on and on and on they usually aren't distancing. Distancing wolves hit hard and fast, maybe throw votes and/or some hostility, then move on to their next agenda driven task. Mot moving on is a sign of lost townies that have nowhere else to go.

Maybe sooooo

I’ve seen better arguments in One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish but ok

Just did a quick ISO of KZA (and it was quick)

They’re very hesitant to put anyone in the unfriendzone. Literally every read seems to be townreading people, which I’ve already said is super safe to do as scum.

Hi Daisy!!!

I think we should probably all vote Seanzie unless a really obvious wolf comes along, because he is at best intentionally useless and at worst an openwolf playing on TWTBAW. What do you think?

Or you can vote jackofhearts with me.
In his town game, I’ve seen how he posts and it is NOT like this game

wow you got nice teeth, you brush em or sumthin?

For real though, it’s been real nice togging witcha. After all, you the face of this estalishent. Repootaboe, for sure sista. Getchur self a fine young rapscalion who treats you right, pleeeease. Open your mind to love. To love is to live, that’s what *hic* that’s what my daddy always says- well, my step dad anyway. Hey, take care and don’t worry, the drinks are on me, everything’s on me

I’ll take that 5th Long Island when you get a chance. Just charge it to Enrique’s tab, cuz he’s here and can probably treat me right

Aaaaaanyway Daisy, my other friend Jenna (he’s a guy, weird I know el oh el) gave me a ring for my birthday and I totes thought he was proposing but it wasn’t a proposal at ALL! Like i immediately burst into tears and said YES and he was totes surprised and said “I didn’t know it would mean that much to you” and I’m like “of COURSE it means a lot to me dummy! I’m 38 and I’m not getting any younger, tick tock!” Which was SUPES embarrassing.

Long story short, i was so embarrassed so I moved here

You ever been to space, Daisy?

Man, you’re really easy to talk to

I bought this stupid purse on sale in koreatown and it’s not even GUCCI. I had my friend (who works for Gucci) verify it and it’s just some leather cow knockoff! The nerve of some people!

My boyfriend just dumped me, it’s real sad I know

Can I get a 3rd long island?

Quin tho has actually been ITT, but barely. Not a good look IMO.

Qwags be qwaggin' hasn't occurred yet, but it's a new site for him...I think this is his 1st game on Synd. If he doesn't start Qwaggin' soon (posting reads that make no goddamn sense), then he's in my POE.
last time I played a game with Marmot, Marmot randed mafia scum and was lynched and I was town and town won that game. iirc, yiu was town and got misyeeted. oof. sorry bout that.. what is your point? also it was legit the only time other then this game that I played a game with them. I like Marmot’s pfp and he has a pleasant way of talking, or he did last game. im not shading Marmot by asking where he is. I wanna talk to him.

as for Qwags I think I might have played a game with him/her on MU. so wanted to interact with him/her and find out if we did or not.

I forget why I want to talk to Quin. I think me not getting anything about Quin is why I want to interact with him/her.

we barely talked last game. is this why u r talking about me and to me so much? sorry if I seem standoffish. I'm mostly used to people being really aggressive towards me. you did say a wordy durd earlier but it wasn't aggressive.

since you are offering up infos about peeps what about monkey and KZA?

thank you for your time and attention. ♡

We haven’t talked. I can talk to you.

Think of me as the personable Chatty Cathy and you’re the bartender and we’re the only people in the bar. Because that’s what it feels like right now.

How’s your life going?

Intriguing.

Game setup with this in mind is quite odd. Because one of my shrines allows me to target. Knowing this, players only allowed to select a shrine tells me that either those shrines pump out a random target for you, or, more likely, give you that ability to use at a later night or the following day.

If the latter, then that’s a crap system where you ain’t doing anything N1. But the shrine powers would probably be much more powerful for those people.
You seem to be assuming that shrines do the same thing for everyone who visits them. I have reason to believe that even what a given shrine does for me is not a fixed thing.

This "supply a target if you select this shrine" thing is interesting. I have been assuming that if I am rewarded with something like a track it will be in the form of "you get a 1x track you can use next night." I don't suppose you would be willing to share which shrine this "supply a target" function applies to? For science!

The possibilities are various to be sure

some players will have access to more Shrines than others. Some abilities may be repeated, while others may be unique to certain roles.

The implication of course there is that shrines do work differently for some roles. But at the end of the day, unless all abilities are self-affecting, some of them should give one-shot delayed abilities affecting other players.

And yes, Im under the impression that shrines *I* visit I use right away.

I also don’t think it prudent to reveal too much about my shrines or what they do yet however. I may have already revealed too much but alas I have a big fat mouth and if I’m not eating then I’m yapping it up like a goddamn chihuahua in here

If you access a shrine without knowing what it does, are you also given any other instructions with that request, or are you just selecting a shrine to access?
Answer pings, then go read.

Ping is difficult to answer. I am required to select a shrine, since there is a definite penalty if I don't. I receive a blessing from that shrine. The strength of the blessing is determined by a factor that is beyond my direct control that would be really dumb of me to discuss, though probably 'in character' for a merchant.

I can hypothesize about different strength levels and different possible blessings, but that is strictly pie in the sky. Like I have this hope that I will find a shrine that gives vig shots, and maybe the "strength" variation is like vig, dayvig, unstoppable strongman vig or something like that. But as far as knowing what I am getting I am flying pretty much blind.

Ok spill no more. Your explanation with a syntax of an additional blessing is more than LC was referencing. Sounds like you people might be getting a non immediate one-shot power to use

Every night, all players must access one of their Shrines to utilize the ability associated with it.

Based on this though, it seems like it’s a one shit used when accessing the shrine, not a banked ability for later use.

So...wtf. Let’s say a shrine is a tracker ability- you use the shrine sometime in the night and then Sloonei has to come back in a brief period and ask who you wish to target. That makes no sense from a hosting perspective, because you may not even be available in that window. Too messy.

I also refuse to believe shrines would become random for you. Like track a random target. How useless. There has to be more of a benefit to not knowing what flavor Bertie botts jellybeans you’re getting.

I'll get back to you on that after Night 1, after I access a Shrine.
But what I’m asking can be answered before you do anything with the shrine
How can I answer "If you access a shrine" without accessing a Shrine first? I'm going to have to pick one of my Shrines, and then access it, and then I will have the experience and knowledge needed to answer. I can't see the future, Scotty.

What I was more looking for was any other info besides accessing a shrine, so I guess this answers my question regardless. Doesn’t sound like you are also tasked with including a target or anything in case your shrine gives you a target. Doesn’t sound like y’all get to use your abilities when you access them. My guess.

It’s far easier to town read people than it is to scumread if you’re scum. Maybe it’s time to take off the pampers my dood

you have to approach this game like it's a job and you have an overbearing boss who not only uses screen capture software to spy on you but is actively peering over the edge of your cubicle to make sure you aren't slacking too

if you've got time to lean read, you've got time to clean case
