I will play this game. After over a year break, I should be just terrible!

Confirming that I'm not confirming anything

I want 4 Elixirs, please.

For these items I am prepared to offer you the princely sum of 17 Gil.

Do not take this clearly horrible offer.

I will pay you 22 Gil for those Elixirs, because I am not a cheapskate.

No clue. Since if he's town, he's not behaving rationally.

For myself, as town if I gave my gil away before dying, I'd share who it went to unless I was in a masonry or something to share that info in, so that town has access to that info before I go and it is lost forever. But I can see the counter argument.

I think, as town, I wouldn't reveal that information: it would just make them a target.

As scum, I'm not sure. I probably wouldn't reveal the information, just because I wouldn't if I was town. At least, not until I was at -1 or 2 and a shoe in, but even then it could only promote discussion, which rarely favors scum.

As an aside: I heartily recommend everyone picks up a staff on top of whatever weapon you choose. You never know when you may need to go full paladin/dark knight, and the extra level on a cure spell or protect might save mr axe guy from a brutal death

I don't like the idea of attacking the soldier. Attacking the evil empire at the start of the game rarely favors the party.

I like B the best, then A, D, and C worst. As bad as attacking a soldier could be, telling the truth is probably the worst (unless he's a sympathizer I guess? but that's probably overthinking it)

The thing in all of this I'm most confused about is Tobbs asking for a modkill and playing that as the pro town move. I can kind of see "Well I don't want a town lynch" but that takes a lot of squinting at to wrap my head around it. Combined with Tobbs leaving his gil to RNGesus? I am doubtful. Goes from being so protective of town making a bad play to throwing caution to the wind doesn't add up. Also, with as often as D1 ends up being a coinflip, if truly town getting the modkill granted could leave two dead towns at the end of D1 which is counter to the whole idea of avoiding a bad play.

Plus theres the whole watching D1 and leaving reads on his way out, etc.

This is where I'm at. Asking for a n0/d1 lynch is a frustration play (if true), not a pro town play. d1 is such a mess anyway, but it sets the tone for the next several days unless someone gets really lucky with night actions. Even then, we have to decide if we believe those results or not based on d1. This sort of thing is just the kind of discussion that makes a d1 better for town, as it provides a real concrete argument to read off of. Cutting it short can only hurt, even excluding the possibility of losing two town d1.

Tobbs would be my vote right now, if I were going to vote this early in the day, but for now I want to do storytime, shopping, and throw more fuel on the discussion fire.

Full disclosure, I don't know much about FF2, so this may be barking up the wrong tree, but isn't Richard Highwind a major playable character? If so, doesn't arguing the bolded point mean either you are the only town with a major playable character somehow or that you are scum?

He's one of the rotating 4th party slot people. Fairly major, not one of the 3 who are there the whole game. I imagine there's a good mix of characters in fake claims though, like you said, so I don't want to base anything on that.

I'm sticking with B

Not that it looks like it will matter, with the lead A has

no room in the rebellion for cowards

The very first thing you do in ff2 is run away from soldiers like a coward. It's step 1. Also, random encounters in NES games were a pain. Unless we're playing the Dawn of Souls remake. I'll have to ask CPig.

this is a stickup posted:

yeah I think tmm made some good points that make me hesitate. however I think inf is probably right, as I have stated more than once in this thread, and I think it's worth testing despite tmm's post

I don't like this attittude (you want to test a theory, and flip tobbs "as a test", not scum hunt). Maybe it's just wording, but that's important.

I don't know what this is. Well, ok, it's a threat/promise. I just don't know why it is.

Why are we sure that this event will reward gil? Couldn't it be a "Rebellion players lose x hp"/"Imperial players lose x hp" or some other reward/punishment? I don't think just looking at options that might reward money is the way to go. CPig just said there would be negative or positive results.

Working from that view, I don't favor fighting the soldier outright. Any of the others I would vote for.

Because Cpig specifically said in the OP they give loot or gil the end.

oh hey, so he did. I forgot about that, and just went back to the first event to reread what he said there.

So yea, lets piss someone off. C

I'll bid 250, as I don't really understand auctions.
