shwinnebego was eliminated day 1!

quote:

You are a San Jose Shark. The San Jose Sharks are a professional hockey team based in San Jose, California. Since their founding in the 1991 season, the Sharks have had mixed results, at times being quite successful and at other times being one of the worst teams in the NHL. They so far have not won the Stanley Cup playoffs, but did appear in the finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016.

BODY CHECK: Each night, you may ##tackle another player, knocking them out of the way. This will redirect any killing actions that would have targeted them to you.

HOCKEY PADDING: Your hockey gear renders you resistant to shark bites. Any BITE actions that are used on you will fail.

METAPHORICAL SHARK: You are a metaphorical shark. For your own safety as a soft, squishy human, you may want to keep this to yourself.

You are a TOWN-ALIGNED BODYGUARD/BITEPROOF and win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

It is now night 1. 24 hours for night actions.

The town wakes up to find not one, but two deaths.

It's fine though, this one seemed like a bad guy.

fool of sound was killed night 1!

quote:

You are a Loan Shark. You are not a real shark, but your occupation as an unscrupulous moneylender has been deemed sharkesque. It's really unfortunate for sharks that they have so many negative cultural associations.

LENDING: Each night, you may choose to ##lend money to one other player, empowering their actions for that night. Additionally, if your target is a metaphorical shark, then the first time you would be the elimination this game, that player will be eliminated instead. If you have targeted multiple metaphorical sharks with this ability, then you may choose which will be eliminated instead of you, but this ability may only activate once.

METAPHORICAL SHARK: You are a metaphorical shark. For your own safety as a soft, squishy human, you may want to keep this to yourself.

You are a SCUM-ALIGNED EMPOWERER/BLACKMAILER and win when the scumteam has control of the vote.

Oh course poor, sweet taishi also bit it. Or rather, got bit it.

taishi c was killed night 1!

quote:

You are a Dwarf Lanternshark. This is the smallest species of shark, measuring only 8 inches in length at maximum. Dwarf lanternsharks live thousands of feet deep along the continental slope of South America, and like many other deep-sea animals, possess bioluminescence via symbiosis with light-producing bacteria.

BIOLUMINESCENCE: Each night, you may choose to privately message another player by posting ##message [playername] in your confessional, followed by the message. The message must be in morse code. Your target may reply if they wish. Alternatively, you may choose to message the thread in general by posting ##messageall in your confessional, followed by the message. Again, this message must be in morse code. The message in this case will be posted in the day start post for the next day.

REAL SHARK: You are a real shark.

You are a TOWN-ALIGNED MESSENGER and win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Additionally, there is a sudden commotion around taishi!

cube visited taishi c last night!

It is now day 2!

Yes. Taishi has a list of "Players who have threatened to vig Taishi but not vigged Taishi." I forget how I ended up on that list. Then I was unable to vig Taishi for some reason last time I had a vig and it was disappointing, so I have changed that.

Probably still Zoya, methinks.

Someone else is responsible for the FoS death. They likely redirected the scum NK at FoS which means scum are having a rough fuckin' time when we yeet out whoever was redirected.

Best case scenario for scum is FoS was the one who did the NK which would be real fuckin' weird because always self-doc.

TPC first said metaphorical. FoS was pushing on this. IA pushed on it. Opop called it a scumslip. Amni pushed Opop.

I think there's something here beyond "TPC probably townspewed," but I need to think about it a bit more closely.

If they are bitten or killed I will BITE everyone who visits my target and myself.

Everyone I bit will have their visit posted at daystart.

This action itself is a BITE

Disco, smelling blood in the water, consumes cube in a vicious feeding frenzy!

...wait, he wasn't actually a shark?!

CubicalSucrose was killed day 2!

quote:

You are an Orca. Orcas, or (serial) killer whales, are the largest member of the dolphin family, and one of the ocean's most dominant apex predators. Orcas are larger and far smarter than most sharks, and also tend towards a much higher level of social organization, often working together to take down prey. As such, Orcas prey on many kinds of shark, including very large sharks like great white sharks and whale sharks.

PREDATION: Each night, you may ##bite one other player, killing them. This counts as a BITE action.

DELICIOUS, NUTRITIOUS SHARK LIVERS: Whenever you successfully kill another player and that player was a real shark, you will consume their liver. You gain additional powers based on the number of livers consumed:

2 LIVERS: You gain a oneshot unblockable kill.
3 LIVERS: You gain a oneshot untrackable kill. Note that this can be used on the same kill as the unblockable, if you wish.
4 LIVERS: You gain a oneshot bulletproof, and any hated stacks you may have will be cleared.

NOT A SHARK: You are in no way a shark, literally or metaphorically. As such, any action that cares about its target being a real shark or a metaphorical shark will fail if used on you.

You are a SELF-ALIGNED SERIAL KILLER and you win when you are the only player still alive.

The day continues.
