I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.

I will not apologise for my actions as Armsmaster, however, I will admit some degree of culpability. My current goal is the complete and total annihilation of the Slaughterhouse Nine.

We're in the same position here as we were in the first Gaspy game - Milky knows so much about the source material that it's possible and likely that he's creating a character for himself out of nothing, here.

Milky is claiming to be Defiant/Armsmaster, the power-armored dude from the flavour text. For those who came in late, he's a super-engineer, like Iron Man. And like Tony Stark he is a narcissist whose ego writes cheques his brain can't cash. If his claim is accurate he is likely to be a tedious jerk who will push anyone under the bus for his own benefit, and claim 'greater' good.

Really weird day one claim.

if it's a true claim, odds are good that he'll have bulletproof or something similar, right? so it may not be a dangerous claim to make because it can be backed up by a cop or similar

Like previous mafia games, we should let Milky have his fun and if he survives past day 3 he is probably scum or planning something mysterious that we usually lynch him for.

yeah, that's the other thing that I thought of immediately after I posted :negative:

I'm trying to think of ways that could be mitigated though, because maybe defiant's a flavour npc so there's no way it can be counter-claimed

could go either way.

I'd have thought Defiant would be a good option for the lynch flavour - the Halberd is a crazy destructive weapon, can cut just about anything.

Telling is the second part of the game.

The first half is wild accusations that makes people show their true colours.
The second half is being right about everything.

I think getting worried about a day one Gwyn accusation is pretty odd, tbh

Could be a double play, though. Or a Triple play. Either is likely with Milky.

Its worthy of note though, even if you ARE town, you're still a hazard to us. According to past experience at least.

Wait, who's supposed to have the Halberd, Milky's character Defiant, or the Collin guy? Is Collin the one Milky referred to as his partner, who wasn't around?

Defiant

The cyborg landed on the outskirts of the the location that could barely be described as a town.

"Dragon, this can't be right" he muttered into the microphone under his helmet "this seems an unremarkably small town for an organisation as big as Toybox to hole up and sell, even for a short period of time. "

"They are actually here, Collin. Toybox and the Nine both. I've already got you prepped - just fly down here and to the left. "

As he flew into seeming empty air, a light rippling effect passed over in front of him, and out of nowhere, a large group of people and buildings materialised a short distance in front of him.

"Collin, you might want to hurry - I'm sensing a bizarre power flux"

Jack

The look of terror on the receptionists face was pleasing, and as the sharp edge of his knife pierced her throat her scream caught in her throat as her blood sprayed haphazardly across the room. As she fell, her hand slammed down on a trigger and an alarm blared.

Silently, the world changed around them - it stretched, colour bleaching from the walls and around them as The Toybox shifted to a different plane of reality.

Defiant

Collin landed with a thud just as The Toybox shifted planes and glared at nothing in particular.

"Dragon, are you getting any of this?"

There was only radio static in reply

"On my own then"

He stepped forward, Halberd in his right hand and moved into the throng of panicked citizens of Toybox.

It is still Monday and my brain might not be turned on yet, but this made it sound like this Collin dude with the Halberd is supposed to be here in the Toybox, not Defiant.

And what's the Dragon stuff supposed to be about?
