Rathmaskal

"Group PMs are not allowed." = 1 on 1 PMs are allowed then? Any limit? Also, I'm going to steal Aman's nickname for RedHerring.Rath this game - Rebelmaskal

Haven't even looked at the ruleset, but I'm in! Been a fun bit of vacationing the past couple weeks, but I've got an itch for some SE!

Could I spec as well? I'd play...but I'm just out of town a lot this month.

Wouldn't have been fun if it had been easy to win that battle Definitely the type of situation that can improve everyone's game play (except yours ) moving forward. To follow up on that, I literally started loling during one of the breaks where I actually kind of caught up with the thread once I realized what you were doing.

Oh, this will be mostly in July. I actually probably should spec as well. I'll be out of town for a week and a half...probably not ideal for activity. Sorry.

You know, for being as inactive as I was for a couple cycles, I had a blast playing this game. Aman...I still can't believe how well you pulled that off. Congrats to the elim team.

EVERY DAY!!!, I'm in. See later post - please spec me in.

So, I had a slightly different interpretation of 'RPing' as a zombie... I just made posts similar to what I would have made otherwise...but just moved over one key to the left on a standard qwerty keyboard. For Z and A, I had to be a bit creative...so they just resulted in the next letter being capitalized (mimicking shift and caps lock). Anyway, that was a fun game. Congrats to everyone who won. Looks like 6 of you? Straw, Maill, Striker, Itiah, HH, and Ark? (Btw, I realize it was gibberish, but I was voting to save the bridge :P) aCw veusfw Unfortunately I'm too good a zombie RPer.

So, I don't think I've seen a Threnody-specific game out here, so I was playing around with creating some rules. Here are some fairly rough ones that I've come up with - this would probably end up being a QF game based on a couple of the rule mechanics. Purple comments need some cleaning. Overall, I think it could be a slightly more standard game removing the Silence/Theopolis roles, but I figured I'd try to sneak something in there for flavor. General Rules Don't run at night - if you switch your vote too many times in one day, you'll have a chance to be attacked by a shade...or maybe if you switch it in the second half of the cycle (night)...or maybe it's something across all players in the second half of the cycle. Needs a little bit of work. Don't spill blood - if you attack another player, you have a chance to spill their blood, which will prompt a shade attack. Don't kindle flame - not sure what would make sense here 1 turn/cycle - both day and night Anyone can submit an attack, but the more attacks that are made, the more likely blood is spilled...thinking of putting everyone 'connected' by attacks at danger of being attacked by shades Connected would be if A attacks B and C attacks B, if A spills blood, A, B, and C die. Although maybe I have the inn as part of the game and those people are safe from attack? But then there would need to be some incentive to leave the inn. Factions Standard village Standard elim Theopolis Not sure what a good wincon would be...thought it would add a little flavor to the game having Theopolis and Silence in the game though Roles/Items Silence - village role Grandmother's Shade - if attacked by Theopolis, he dies instead The White Fox - has a night kill (wouldn't be necessary if everyone can attack) Gains silver dust after each elim kill Silver Dust Can be used to prevent shade attack - used up after each use Burlap Sack Can be used to prevent spilling blood during an attack Anyway, hopefully someone has some good ideas to finish fleshing out these rules. I think it could be fun.

So, I used the action Watch for Hostiles last night...and apparently all that did for me was to see Lum attacked. I'm actually mildly worried that we'll end up with someone else getting bitten by lynching Lum if we don't have enough people involved. I'm sure Alv has all kinds of weird rules ready for this. I'm also curious what Lum did that may have resulted in getting attacked, or if that was just RNG?

Hi folks. Haven't submitted any actions yet. I'm thinking I'll want to gather water. I'll also submit an action to keep watch tonight. I'll try to think of something else worth doing. I apparently won't go hungry this game - I have an item that prevents that. Unrelated, and I know this is going to come off as an elim read to a lot of people, but are we sure there's an actual elim team here? Edit: this will probably be my only post this cycle, but I'll be much more active moving forward.

Why are you willing to trust Aman? It's an even worse feeling when you're not an elim. The massive wave of votes on me is letting elims hide people. Maybe I didn't mean to add anything to that sentence because you won't learn anything....lol Actually, you'll learn that Aman is 100% working against the village once I flip. Since you don't know that yet, you'll learn whether or not his scans are scams (my phone auto correcting scans to scams gave me the idea for that phrase. Well done auto correct)

This is not what I said. I said Aman is a confirmed bad guy. Either Aman is telling the truth and is the Kandra. A bad guy. Or Aman is lying and is an elim. A bad guy. Lynching me gives you virtually no information. Here are the possibilities: Lynch SK.Aman. OK, lynch me if you want tomorrow, I'll still fight tooth and nail against it, but it's not the worst strategy at that point. Lynch Elim.Aman. Well, then you know that the claim that I'm elim is FAR less likely (could be a good distancing strategy, but that's about it) Lynch Elim.Rath. OK, then you know Aman's scans are at least potentially valid. Possibly just a good guess. Lynch Village.Rath. Aman is still a bad guy who needs to be lynched. Which one gives you more information? The only possible piece of information you may get from lynching me I'm actually thinking at this point that Elim.Aman is far more likely than I initially gave credit to. SK.Aman could claim I'm elim as a stalling tactic...but to what gain? Once I turn as village, SK.Aman would just be lynched or coin shot. Elim.Aman would definitely take advantage as wagons are circling to get me mislynched because as I outlined in my last post, mislynching me today gets the elims extremely close to winning in the next couple cycles unless our coinshot has a good idea of who the elims are. (And in this situation, there's no way the actual kandra would claim, because this would be the perfect kind of chaos to wait out) Now, regarding my lack of soothing D2, I honestly didn't see Fura as that much more likely of an elim than you were Devotary. My previous reads list lends itself to a scale of 1-7: strong village lean village neutral, lean village neutral neutral, lean elim lean elim strong elim On that scale, I believe I had you as a 3, Fura as a 5? Not enough of a read for me to affect the vote in my opinion. Also, so you're implying that you think that if Aman is the kandra, he's both immune to the night kills AND the role gets passed to someone else? Yeah, that makes zero sense. That would make it impossible for the kandra to lose. Finally, Devotary, Fura, and I shared what we thought was most- to least- likely for duplicate roles. As you pointed out, I had soother fairly low down my list. If I were an elim soother, why would I not try to get you thinking it was more likely to be a duplicate role? Just implying that may have been sufficient to pull some suspicion away once it was clear there was another soother in the game. (I honestly forget whether someone else has claimed or not...that's what working all day does to you :/) Anyway, I need to get some sleep and will be at work without necessarily having access to hop on here again tomorrow, so this may be my last post of the cycle...hopefully not the game. Sorry for the rather blunt tone of parts of this post.

You, Fifth, and Stick all started the cycle voting on Aman. Based on Aman saying, "Hey, I'm the bad guy, but Rath is too, but a different kind and because he's not me, he's worse" you switched your vote to me. That seems super sketchy to me. If I flipped elim, villagers should see that as distancing. Since I will flip village if lynched, villages should see that as mislynch opportunism. Say there are 3 elims remaining (I'd say that's the most likely situation). Assuming Striker didn't pull a 'hey, I'm going to announce a faction and then not have it exist' trick, then we're sitting at 7-3-1. Here are the likely next few cycles: I'm lynched - 6-3-1 Elim kill - 5-3-1 Kandra lynch - 5-3-0 Elim kill - 4-3-0 Now we're one mislynch away from losing. OK, if there are 2 elims, we're in a bit better shape: I'm lynched - 7-2-1 Elim kill - 6-2-1 Kandra lynch - 6-2-0 Elim kill - 5-2-0 That gives us one cycle of leeway at least. Now, say we lynch, and I'm not sure how much more I can emphasize this, A CONFIRMED BAD GUY. 7-3-0 or 8-2-0 6-3-0 or 7-2-0 And then we proceed on. If you decide to lynch me at that point, OK, fine, maybe I deserve it. But how about this? Say Aman is actually still lying? (you know, because bad guys lie) and Aman is actually a standard elim. Now doesn't lynching him give us a heck of a lot more information and chance to win than lynching me does? Hopefully I actually get a chance to come back this cycle (I should, just not a lot), but there really is no logical situation where it makes sense to lynch me over Aman today. As for why I chose Aman over Sart, it was mostly gut feeling. Sart was reading more neutral to me versus Aman starting to ring some elim bells for me. Mostly regarding tone. But also, the way Aman was targeting me seemed a bit off. And with that, I'm about out of time.

Wow, well played Aman, wait until I'm very clear about the fact that I'm not going to be around much and then try to get me lynched while I won't have much time to defend myself. So, #1, I am a soother. I've only claimed that to one person 100%. My only other claim has been that my role won't kill people. Next, I have not used my abilities yet. There have been votes soothed, but I have not done so. I will be voting on Aman of course. I'm glad I had a 30 minute break to at least try to stem the tide of whatever is happening right now. For whichever of you are not on the elim team. How is lynching me the better option here? You have someone who is either confirmed SK (regardless of how he decides to spin it) or someone who has mostly been put under suspicion by the other person up for lynch. Even if you don't 100% agree with my logic, you have to realize that when I flip village, you're going to be targeted yourself by the rest of the village for flipping to voting on my so quickly.

Well then. Seems like it's been a fun day. I apologize for my inactivity again, but unfortunately it is likely to continue throughout the week. As is, I agree that now that we've seen my theory of role madness to be incorrect that two village lurchers are extremely unlikely. I've not had much to go on for Sart. I'm vote Aman
