Ooh I forgot about that one we should definitely check

The only thing it can’t check is hyperjumps, since that’s not an action

Hmm.

Any reason? (No reason/random counts, I'm just wondering)

Mostly random.

 

Wow, everyone seems to have turned against me. I guess my jokes weren't that funny after all.

The reason why I am saying there will be several interactions to resolve is that there is probably at least one person who can take three actions per turn. In addition, abilities like roleblock and a very very broad sensor ability make it so that our GMs are going to have to consider several actions when resolving other actions. I suspect that it will be a high power game like others here have said.

For myself, I have the cytonic sensing ability. Afaik, it's pretty useless as it picks random people and if a selected person has multiple targets, it only shows one. Also, it only senses cytonic actions, so not even kills by the elims. But, despite it's relative uselessness, our GMs are going to have to select a random person, select a random amount of their actions, give me a random target, and so on. Many other people might have similar abilities that have to be taken into account for almost every other action.

Please don't exe me. I am a loyal member of the Superiority (albeit maybe one who makes jokes in ill taste).

That’s not what it says in the rules 

Nowhere does it say Sensing is random

edit: who you target at least

A large golden Tenasi in crimson tactical armor - Winnifred, chief of the Diplomacy's Security Force - approaches each and every one of you, accompanied by a small squad of armed officers. "Good afternoon, friends, I must ask all of you to come with me down to the Station. You have been identified as a potential suspect in this morning's terrible events, and all of you - yes, even the slugs - are asked to come peacefully. I ask, very calmly, that you do not attempt to resist. This is still the Superiority, after all."

(Loving the RP, everyone! Keep it up!)

As Winnifred entered Life Support Control, Zrraii formed a face in the middle of his Geode as he started to vibrate: "I would love to come with you sir, but I think you are aware that I am physically umable to move, and I think by now I am to large for you to move"

Rules as written, Cytonic Sensing does not target. Apparently its just like a Seeker just listening for random pulses. So. yeah. 

I didn't write the rules I'm just here

Does it take an action? Cause if so that’s a kinda terrible ability

"The Superiority Will No"

That sounded vaguely menacing. Quoth-Yithuquoth was unsure exactly what it meant, but it was all in a day's work of scrubbing and scouring. Whatever paints the renegades had used were serious business. Thankfully, nobody had gotten seriously hurt, and the peace was ultimately kept. There were rumors about a rampaging human, but Quoth-Yithuquoth didn't personally place much stock in them. He was pretty sure the area wasn't populated enough to sustain an apex predator like a human, so it must just be fearmongering.

He boarded a tram to go home, and noticed a questionaire waiting in his inbox. It was flagged important. Apparently, the Superiority wanted its citizens to report on any unusual sightings. Quoth-Yithuquoth shrugged, and began typing up his report.

Dear Superiority Intelligence Agent,

00:01 - Funny shaped cloud. Looks a little bit like a bow tie if you squint. I thought it was pretty.

00:13 - Dispute between Myst and Qian, quickly defused. Diagnosis still uncertain. May be a slight positive.

13:49 - Several individuals spontaneously drew laser swords, yelled something about the senate, and began dueling in the streets. However, it turned out to be LARP.

Note - Really not a lot has happened so far. The lack of anything happening is probably more noteworthy than anything in particular that happened.

14:53 - Wahr uses probabilistic divination to infer rebellious actors. Mildly negative, in my opinion (not so much the act of using randomness but drawing attention to it in that way), but also not the sort of thing you call a crusade over so shrug.

16:17 - Myst resumes hostilities with Qian. I actually kind of read this positively? I don't actually suspect Qian though, I just like the commitment I guess.

Addendum - Currently looks like a lot of ties and multiple people consulting randomness for decision making. This is not very productive course for democracy to take and I would personally recommend consolidation. However, the Superiority must know best.

Yours truly,

Quoth-Yithuquoth

Thank you! 
And not really. I feel like it’s really early in the game to tell anything.i don’t think I’m gonna vote anyone right now (unless something else major happens)  because I don’t want to accidentally ex another villager like last time. 

that's fair, but... I'm afraid accidentally exing villagers is a largely unavoidable part of the game imo

the alternative is not exing at all but that's not exactly a winning strategy now is it

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take and all that 

like I get not wanting to make mistakes me too  but my advice is we should still try to exe an evil every day despite that

I think you’ve got PMs…. : ) and if not you someone else.

that makes 4 other people I can reasonably say have at least one cytonic ability, and 2 of those people probably have 2+, and this is just the things I’ve noticed. So yeah. I can confirm say we’re in a higher power game 

well, those are indeed all the options

PSA that we should probably practice some amount of infosec here and not be too loose with hinting our roles in public too much, although it's not quite as mission critical in a high power game

I assume no such things, just be intentional about sharing information is all I s'pose

I'm not particularly directing that at you even if it was a reply to your message, just commenting bc you say you've noticed some likely hints and I've also noticed that so yeah

Vote Tally

Myst (1): IcedOutPenguin
Verdance (1): Through the living Wahr
Qianwellian (3): Myst, ___ (Mippo), Coco
DrakeMarshall (1): TwinStorm
TUM (1): Qian

I dunno, I kinda still v!read Qian for the initial back-and-forth with Myst at the opening of the day

I kinda want to focus more on the RNG voters (Wahr, Coco) because I think 1 of them is decently likely to be evil (probably not both though, I don't think evils usually like to bunch up like that, though I've been proven wrong on that before)

I lean a bit towards it being the second one. I'm not sure if an evil is the first person to publicly base their vote on RNG but I could more easily see an evil noticing a villager did that and wanting to copy them

Coco has since switched votes to Qian though  not sure where that leaves my read

[Wahrheitswächter He/Him]

Its nothing personale, Verdance, just the result of throwing a die

Yeah that was just a temp vote (and kind of a joke tbh) bc I didn’t know who to vote, I don’t feel super confident about Qian still tho. But we gotta get rid of someone and I’d rather it not be random.

[Verdance he/him]

Actually, I would rather it be random. If the village team has no information, we should pick at random, as we will have a better chance of randomly eliminating a wolf. If we pick one specific person to eliminate, the wolves can simply manipulate us into voting against a villager.

Zrraii crystal grown face takes on an anoyed expression as the slug enters his Geode, and called him a human "excuse you, Does this look like a human to you" he asked through the virbrations of his crystal "I am a Resonant, a living Crystal and you compare me to a human, we have nothing in common"

yeah but if the evils are forced to shift votes then we can analyze it in future cycles (or we can analyze it if it looks like they weren't forced to do anything)

if it's purely random there's not rly a lot to work with

Goolius got lost. He’s not very good at cytonic teleportation. In addition, he mistook the vaguely humanoid form of the Resonant for a human in his disorientation. He trills an apologetic note. 
 

i love the idea of the resonants, they are such a cool alien race

Definitely doesn’t look like they’re being forced to do anything atm. I don’t want to read into that a crazy amount but that seems like maybe a sign we’re not going in the right direction?

Oh I don’t think anyone is expecting to actually get an elim today, that’s highly unlikely.
