Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

just for shiggles why'd you go thief, Mith?

Because it was the only agility wind job, I anticipated wanting to go magical later, and I figured we'd have a lot of black mages (and boy did we).

Yes. Moat did. Moat said Monk got a 1-shot Nexus. So passive redirection, but still.

oh right

so i got to pick three terrain types which equal different abilities

every night i have 1/2 a chance to jail my target, 1/4 of a chance to turn them into a lightning rod, and 1/4 of a chance to jail/lightning rod myself

I never really got how he got these odds from the 3 abilities he said he picked though. And it still doesn't explain what the hell chaos is going on about. :psyduck:

I failed all the actions.

I am "missing" my CP because I had to spend all of it to do my ability.

I was hoping to catch someone in a lie about succeeding an action or leveling up but apparently leveling up happens even on fails so that did not quite go as planned.

I don't even

what rule mistake did cl make? I absolutely buy his reason for waiting to reveal and I figured the same thing out before he did so, and he's pretty clearly said he has an ability not connected to any job, or in other words, would have started as a freelancer. there is no reason for him to claim it before this point, and he was correct - a lightning rod would not have gone off.

his plan is objectively better than yours. what consequences are you even talking about? do you think lynching him would have different consequences or be better in any way? and in what way does this take pressure off of him except guaranteeing he doesn't guess wrong and hit town?

a power role that uses cp fits it exactly. I also buy it as a town power because his role stopped all scum kills dead.

I wanted to see what chaos would say. I would imagine that scum also have power roles and roleblock isn't indicative of alignment, but in this game where scum have a potential large amount of NKs, a mass rb could be a game changing town ability. not so much if it were a scum ability

Sorry, I've been using role/job interchangeably this game since I wasn't thinking about potential people like chaos with actual roles.

I have knowledge gained from this day phase which you have theoretically also been reading. :) We've only had two people claim getting CP taken from them. And two thieves claimed. One of those thieves, Mithross, claimed to target BK, a person who hasn't claimed getting stolen from. Moat said monk got Nexus.

Do you really consider this wild speculation? 2+2=?
