2) that was because LC decided to betray y'all, *after* he fulfilled his win con. I have no incentive to help anyone out once my win is locked in because betraying anyone compromises future 3P deals without helping me at all (I'm already won after all)
if I betray town before I fulfil my win con y'all might exe me and then I lose
if I betray town after I fulfil my win con, then all I'm doing is kneecapping my ability to cut similar deals in future games I am 3P, and it's not like I can fulfil my win con twice
point 2 is hell naw

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 0]
Yooooooooo the fucking poeticism of alison getting this role lmaoooooAlison wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 12:35 am Hard claiming Gambit Demon from Shadow Corridors. It's a little modified from the original version but still keeps the spirit of it. Here's the basic rundown.
- I offer a permanent ability to someone at night. abilities are: track, roleblock, silence (can't speak during next day), disenfranchise (can't vote during next day), give a post restriction, thieving (steal the abilities of who you voted for), protecting, bus driving
- If my offer is accepting, they gain the ability, but I can choose one of two options: either all night actions cast on me get redirected to them the next night OR all votes cast on me get redirected to them the next day.
- I fulfil my win condition if the number of people who I've bargained with exceed the number of people who haven't.
I'm gonna offer the same deal that I proposed in shadow corridors. Y'all come up with consensus town and I'll offer powers to them. In exchange I get a free win, you get free power roles, everyone profits.
FAQ
- how do we know you aren't tricking us into some horrible fate???
take it on trust, host read that they aren't going to have a 3P nuke half the game in GOC, whatever. In Shadow Corridors I proposed some tactics to guard against 3P betrayal, you can try those. Yes I know I was mafia that game but my tactics were legit.
- what if the mafia soupkills you???
imagine being a coward and soupkilling the gambit demon instead of trying to go deep and get the power offered to you instead
- how do we know you're not mafia pretending to be a 3P???
my plan is pretty clearly laid out to give me a free win while also helping the town out. I fully intend to have "auto" from post 1 and will be putting in close to 0 effort to solve or influence the game from this point on. It doesn't make much strategical sense for me to do that if I'm mafia, especially since it will become too obvious that I'm lying about being 3P as the game goes on.
- how do we know you won't side with the mafia after you win like the original Gambit Demon did???
Long Con sided with mafia because he was sentimental and wanted to root for the underdog. I am not sentimental. Siding with the mafia after the town gave me my win is pointless. I have already gotten my win; putting in extra effort is not only meaningless, it actively compromises my ability to make further deals in this vein when I roll 3P in the future. It's strictly suboptimal to do that, so you can be pretty sure I won't do it.
make sure to @ me if you want to tell me who your consensus town to bargain is or have any questions/comments, since I won't be reading the thread closely.

I am taking a not reading approach this game too.
I marked "first" where I started reading and "last" where I intended to stop, had a brief but amusing conversation with 112, and now I am off probably until the real game start.

In FFVI, when you're about to leave the floating continent, if you wait right on the ledge before leaving until the counter goes down to 5 seconds, you can save Shadow and his dog from dying.

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 0]
@Alison I would really like to get in on the Gambit Demon thing please. I was the only one who couldn't ever make a deal in the first iteration, and I was sad about that.
You are townsiding? I am town. My role abilities are a little lackluster and I would love to enhance them.
This would put a target on me? No great loss, right? But if I had a cop check then I could have a greater impact on the game, and maybe make a cool difference.
Please choose me, please.

Re: Game of Champions 2020 [Day 0]
The wooden wagon was bumping across the road. It was uncomfortable for the four people sitting inside.
"GAAAAAAAAH. IM ANGRYYYYYYYYYYY. ME SMAAAAAAASH" exclaimed DacMougall. Used to life full of action, he couldn't stand the monotone travelling.
"Ughh... quiet yourself, you buffoon" spoke Xana, irritated. He unveiled his hood to reveal his horns underneath.
"WHA-" yelled Dac, but he was interrupted by Aldar placing his finger on his lips. "We are being watched." - whispered the high elf.
"Mmmm ... that lusty tavern barmaid.... oh how I wish to sing you songs of love all night... your glorious big fluffy ...." - Dyrian was mumbling in his sleep, but swiftly got woken up by Aldar's repeated slaps. "Hu-h ... w-what's going on.... I didn't know she was bethrored..." protested Dyiran. "HISSSS" - Aldar hissed angrily. Suddenly, an arrow shot out of the woods, penetrating the skull of the rider of the cart.
The four adventures swiftly jumped out of the cart. Hooded figures approached from the woods, 6 of them. In addition, what looks to be a tied up Tabaxi cat rogue was held at swordpoint by one of the vagabonds. He had a piece of cloth wrapped around his mouth. He was struggling to break free.
"Filthy bandits..." spat DacMougall on the ground.
A large and muscular brigand approach the party, seemingly the leader. "I will make this very simple for you. Your money is your life." he said with a smirk.
What are your actions? @Long Con @112 @MacDougall @Made @nutella (nutella doesn't get an action yet because she is tied up)
