FWIW though I feel like you think I'm scum in almost every game I play with you nowadays though. So it remains to be seen if you correctly identify me as town when I am.

Also I definitely thought I was hosed when this happened:Somberbrero posted:CapitalistPig, Eddie “Birchbolt” Evans, Duly Sworn Officer of the Bluecloaks was executed day four! Because: CapitalistPig posted:Yeah it was a pair of hands intricately carved from birch Quidthulhu posted:I did give out a roleblock on N1 along with TMM's item, but I don't know who it went to. It does match the flavor confirmation I received about the item I created, though. Whoops!

I got very cross every time I read one of your night action posts saying I was confirmed scum. Once I saw my flip and knew two town had died N3 it was instantly clear that KB was scum. Everyone assuming he was a doctor was very serendipitous for him. I enjoyed playing the game, even though I'm clearly very rusty and every one of my scum calls was incorrect. Somber has already heard all my thoughts about mods lying to players via pm. Thanks Somber for running the game. The flavour was great (even if you are a racist).

There was a reason I was asking if Quid was here, cause if he was with no scumrush I would have thought Capps was scum. I'm glad he didn't though, cause like I said in the game, I am really proud of my case against you. I rarely make really logical cases and I thought it was pretty strong.

Honestly I think the only real problem with this game's balance is the fact that the one person who could have countered the false flip got modkilled. And that was a valid reason for a modkill, I just personally would have been a bit more lenient because of how integral the Necromancer was to the balance.

fiery_valkyrie posted:I know, it was just so frustrating. Especially because if I was scum I played a terrible game. It was a great choice to frame me at that particular time. part of the risk inherent in the 'soul skin' was that it wasn't a killing action. kb picked a target, and then it switched your flips until his death. they picked you night one and then waited for the right moment to go back and kill you. i know it was unfun for the players involved but i was really interested in the idea that something would go wrong and they'd have to play around it. like, if the soul skin got redirected, or fv led the charge on a scum lynch. Capps did nail the setting base, although I deliberately worked against it where I could because I was anticipating she'd do something like this. The reason I set it in Australia is because for a while now I've had this idea of Australia being the equivalent of monster witness protection in the postmodern magic world. I actually have a longform rpg campaign written around it, but I've always had trouble getting friends to the table to play it. She was also right about there being a Bluecloak from each school. The Bleak Monastery(Slytherin/Ravenclaw) was KB, with sneaky and deceptive actions. Glinrow(Gryffindor) was Pig, with strong combat actions. Murhalx(Hufflepuff) was Quid, with a myriad of somewhat useful inventions. for those of you that are interested here are a couple bits of flavor I really enjoyed: Cpig's Role posted:You didn’t think when you saw it, standing there just five feet tall with dark runes carved into his bald skull. He had your partner by the throat, another’s face beneath his clawed foot as he laughed. It was the Murhalx Grand Ball and ‘Straya’s own Dracula, an ancient bloodsucker from the colonial era known as Castor, was there to take what he could and kill whoever tried to stop him. Contrasted with Podima here: "Podima's Role posted:You and your cadre of vampires crashed through the skylight above the Murhalx Grand Ball, sending up a chorus of screams from the crowd below. What Murhalx lacked in talent, it made up for in money. The perfect target. As some of you discovered the magic words for this setting, Eddie kills Castor with a tree made outta light that springs from the ground and traps him in its limbs. DickyB was a demon whose wiki page describes her as a consort to mages. The idea I had for that character was that she was immensely powerful, but had her power bound by Solomon and thus couldn't use it directly. Capps Role posted:”Ready or not, here I come!” *stares* I actually checked the hiking forum out of boredom as I was writing the game and saw someone link to a bunch of creepy pastas about sets of stairs leading to nowhere in the middle of the woods. This is that. Howard Wolfman was pulled from the series of SA front page articles titled 'Monstergeddon.' They're great! "Pmach's Role' posted:The candles on the tombstones around you fluttered in the heady wind, but refused to go out. You sat unblinking, channeling the spirits around you as you had been for hours. Communing with the dead was one of the most dangerous forms of magic, it had been outlawed as a whole for the practitioner's safety as much those around them. A soul was a fragile thing, when surrounded by spirits that wanted nothing more than to possess it. You could feel them even now, clawing away at the cage of will you had constructed around yourself. It felt like diving with sharks. I don't know if anyone saw in the design doc, but I did decide that I would allow this role to be roleblocked, disrupting communication for a cycle. Anyway I had fun writing the character, I'd like to use her again when I write Cloaks II: Vice. Quid's flavor once he emptied his item stash posted:Oh, geez. You’d really done it now. You signaled to your mental link that you were in danger, and paced the small storage room you’d found. You knew it, you KNEW you should have brought more charmed and enchanted objects. But your backpack was full and you were worried that if you brought some of the other stuff, it’d be too dangerous and you’d lose track of it. Plus you need room for sandwiches, this was going to be a long night. Oh, god. Wait. The sandwiches. I just really liked Quid's character. He was a sweet boy.

To be fair, the fact that he shied away from a 'do you trust me' question should have been more of a tipoff. The cult thing was total BS in a game this small, now that I think about it.

I think King was legitimately worried, but I was surprised that pmush dying didn't raise any eyebrows. as to why cpig didn't get a mason message, in my action priority flowchart i had the mason visit take priority over the masonry forming, which was at the very end even after kills, meaning the masonry never had a chance to actualize. maybe a silly way to do it but i didn't see the point at the time.

I really thought it could be a thing. I would have been worried about it as town too. Part of the problem is that pmush didn't warn me that she could get more powers. So out of nowhere getting asked the question made it seem really really weird. Especially because we had a conversation about how her flavor kind of made her seem 3p.

Like, if you did, I not only didn't see it, but you can see in scum doc I didn't pass it on either. I really had no idea. I wish there was a doc we could read instead of a chat that was dissolved.

Oh, wow, this ended in a scum victory. Color me shocked. First of all, sorry to town. I could argue that modkill but rules are rules I suppose. Truth is I should have just peaced out of the dead doc as soon Pod said he was inebriated, but my commute home on late Friday nights--West coast, even-- are long and boring and I entertained thoughts I should not have given my own second thought to. The fact of it is, though, fv's false flip was bullshit. The extent of her ramblings to me via PM when she didn't have doc access, which somber also allowed, had me well enough convinced, which led to the fast fall downhill both in dead doc and the thread. I got modkilled for defending myself to a dead player due to an unreliable flip, and that loving sucks. In short: Asii: sorry for that retarded rabbit hole. Truly. I think you could have defended better and more succinctly, but at the end I knew you were town. FV: a pleasure. I hope to be on your team again. Pod: ._. Somber: loved the flavor. LOVED it. Whatever mechanics whatsits, that was fun, but nobody likes an unreliable narrator, I'm afraid.

I just reread that, and I think an actual mod-style issue is rule-making. Somber cut breaks in some places, but not others. He killed dead doc some minutes before her killed me, for example. I'm not advocating anything over here one way or the other, but consistency is key. If you're going to have ridiculous role madness going on, go ahead and edit the OP once you have your setup, but think through the contingencies and edge cases before you have to make decisions on the fly.

I get it though cause modkills are tough. You never want to modkill if you can help it, so I don't blame Somber for a little hand wringing there.

sorry it wasn't your jam pmach. It took me a minute to evaluate the situation and make sure I was making the right call. I was pretty upset at having to modkill anyone, much less your role. i think it would have been a more interesting and fair puzzle had you lived.
