Who's next up to run the quick fix? The MR is down to eight players, so we should probably start talking. 

The current list is:

1. @Young Bard (anonymous game)
2. @The_God_King
3. @Experience Animation
4. @Sart (no pass) (probably not going to run the QF since he's running the LG)
5. @Ashbringer

After that, it'd be Archer and then Matrim.

Things to note: 3 remain, <= 1 of Danex and Daybreak, >=2 of the nulls. There is the possibility that the Saboteur!sleepers will die tonight, in which case, we should ignore them unless they return. Captain @Straw, are there any more substitutes, or will those who are asleep die? [OOC: Do you have pinchhitters, or will they be inactivity killed?]

I have one more pinch hitter. If neither inactive shows up, I'd probably try to find two.

Random Bystander has died! She was a Crewmember Trapper.
Liranil has died! She was a Crewmember.

The Crew's Mess has been sabotaged!
The Brig has been repaired!

Is there a way to like... un-sign-up for a slot? If so, can I be taken off the LG list? I don't think I'll have an LG ready very soon (not that I think the list will get to me very soon but whatever). 

I mean we're not going to force you to run anything, so yes.

I was already planning on letting them know their teammates’ roles, but I guess I should clarify that in the rules. When would the vote count be given? The C1 count at the start of C2?

Yeah, the cycle after, just like the normal vote count (except not in the writeup). The intent is that elims can get some idea of who their teammates think is dangerous. It's not much of a boost to them, but it helps them a bit.

42 minutes ago, Matrim's Dice said:

I wasn't intending them to go for ties, mainly because I don't see how they could without the village being able to catch on fairly easily. That was my way of buffing them, because the lack of communication weakens their team quite a bit. It's largely supposed to be luck. I'd also probably buff them a bit with roles, but you're right that I'd have to be pretty careful.

If you're not meaning for them to go for ties, then I'd advise just changing it to random on a tie. As it is it seems like it either just randomly gives them a buff, or they manage to get it working consistently and break the game. Maybe buff them with something that helps with their lack of information instead? For example, giving them the vote count from their kill votes would be a minor buff that could help them avoid not having any kill. Letting them know which roles the others have could also help them out a bit.

I wrote up a QF ruleset that I'm planning to run with the slot I just signed up for. Looking for feedback on the balancing of the key mechanic.

Rules doc link: QF##: Battle of Traitors

The whole no elim communication thing will be very rough, but I suppose you can balance around that. Just be very very careful when balancing. For the elim kill, to what degree do you intend to have the elims be going for ties as much as possible? Since I pretty much see the elim team just focusing on kill ties so they can get two kills per cycle. It seems a bit swingy to me since if they can figure out how to consistently get ties, they'd have a massive advantage compared to if they didn't figure it out.

Just now, Liranil said:

Sorry, I should have clarified. If they get exed, would we be told that they had an Aviar? Since the Aviar doesn't protect from the exe, right?

Well yeah, Aviar Holder is a role, so it'd be revealed if they were voted out.

55 minutes ago, Liranil said:

Also, as a side note, @Straw, if someone has an Aviar, would it say so in the write-up?

What do you mean? If they were attacked then it would show that they were protected, same as if they were thrown in the brig.

Illwei has died! She was a Saboteur Messenger.
Matrim's Dice has died! He was a Crewmember.

The Aviar Holding Area has been sabotaged!

I’m... yeah. I’m gonna have to drop out of this one. My eye does not like looking at anything like a screen right now and I’d prefer to just give myself a break than try to get out a post a day here. Plus it’s only C3 so I don’t think it will break too much. I’ll stay through the LG for now but who knows.

So... @Straw, can I get a pinch hitter to take my spot?

Okay, I'll find a pinch hitter.

Awww c'mon I literally just finished putting together an unofficial VC.

Does it have the same vote count as mine?

Vote count as requested:

Hi all. Has been a busy and torrid few days. I'll be more likely to be around tomorrow, but if Straw has a pinch hitter lined up, please do replace me.

Okay, I currently have Condensation lined up as a replacement.

1 hour ago, Illwei said:

@Straw If the hospital was sabotaged in C1, would C1 kills still go to the hospital or would it only start C2?

They would go straight to the dead doc.

13 hours ago, Dannex said:

Maybe Orlok is a doctor then. I very much doubt there’s only one. Although I’ll admit that I was unaware that the doc is posted publicly every cycle. That does make me think differently about the role. 

There is one doctor. I list all the doctors at the start of the doc. If there was a second doctor then there would be something saying "Doctor #2".

37 minutes ago, TJ Shade said:

@Straw, can we @ the dead people so they take note for what we ask them and put it in the doc?

Yeah sure.

1 minute ago, Matrim's Dice said:

Correct.
