Were I to guess, the potion shop seems the sketchier of the two, just in terms of pure setup spec. Let's say you get handed a potion. Can you trust what it does? She might have a choice to hand out like, either a healing potion or a loving-kill-you-dead-on-the-spot potion, and can just leisurely pick one or the other depending on who visits. What's a pet going to do that's bad for you?

I assume both might have a random chance of causing good or bad effects. GDE did say it was a rogue like potion shop earlier. So my guess is we'll probably get given like a "marbled red potion" or some poo poo.

As for pets. Maybe there's a chance of getting like a Gremlins or Little Shop of Horrors situation?

I'm relatively certain at least that entering the shop is not an instant kill, otherwise pretty much everybody is dead now. I'm hoping we can buy cool items (items may have deadly side effects). Providing info to the shopkeeper also sounds pretty cool, although at least in that example about getting role info without names on everybody, a shopkeeper would probably prefer a lower number of customers.

Regarding scum shopkeeper: How about a shopkeeper that gets to make a "special delivery" at night to someone who has visited their shop? Might be some bonus like staying undetected because he'd have a reason to be there? Or maybe he can only kill people who have gone to the shop.

Bonus option: Self aligned shopkeeper. Just here to make a profit. Wins if everybody visits their shop in one day phase.

This kind of mechanics posting is kind of pointless, especially this early.

More seriously, there was a cloaca train?

It should have kept going then, cause that is by far the worst post in the thread to me.

The one thing that irked me was Cloaca's speculation about the shop mechanic. It was oddly specific and detailed considering that the one thing we all know right now is that we don't know much yet.

Honestly I thought similar ideas for the shopkeepers, so I feel like it's a fairly logical conclusion to come to based on the absolute nothing we have information wise.

I just didnt post it cause I also recognised it was an absolute nothing information wise mechanics spec. Like it's an obvious guess, that is also meaningless cause we know nothing and it's mechanical spec. It's just a time wasting post to look more active.

Well, that's the problem with Cloaca's post, it just doesn't accomplish anything at all. I think we've all had thoughts and speculations about the shopkeeper mechanics and only Cloaca posted a long thing about it when everyone else seems to have decided to just keep it mostly to themselves and see what happens during the night instead. So, I don't think the thought process is scummy for existing, but as you said, maybe it's meant to look productive.


This is basically my position. It's my strongest gut read for the day, so I'm kinda sticking with it for now.

I'd also be down for a Circlmastr vote, if Cloaca doesn't get up off the ground by day's end. I can see some town uses for a posting gimmick like that, but it feels more scum/3p and is also kind of a pain in the rear end to follow. Dont really have the scum feel there like I do with Cloaca though.

As for defending myself?

I suck at defending myself, all I can say is I live in Australia and went to bed before the votes on RWC and was still asleep when D1 ended. I believed in the vote on Cloaca based on gut feel of their posts. I'm not sure what I can say about being sick, other than I did tell Yami when they asked me to play, should have mentioned it in my initial post like they said to lol.

Do you have anything you want to say about this? Like why your first instinct was to believe Circl and also assume that Psycho must have killed Spork?

My first instinct is to vote on a claim like this to see what happens unless there's strong reason not to. When I came back and saw we were -2 with still no response I unvoted.

Also if Spork's pet killed them last night, then what happened with the scum kill?

By the way, I'm not so sure about this now. I got something through, so either the RB is conditional or it's something completely different.

Do you mean you got something through last night, or the night before. Cause I feel like a permanent role block would be kinda nuts and a conditional or one off one would make more sense?

At this point it goes beyond just piggybacking, you simply don't seem interested in helping solve the game at all. This very much looks to me like scum backing off a townie wagon to look towny, then circling back to it later. ##vote A Sometimes Food

Exactly what I said, I dont trust Psycho. I see a lot of posting just by Psycho and a couple of others all day, but at the end of the day, they were seen going to Spork, and Spork died. All the rest of this, just seems like activity to look better.

Nothing has changed.

Talk about your reads other than me. You are relying on a claim and absolutely nothing else. The moment I flip, people are gonna read my case on you and realize your entire posting history is too thin to be anything other than scum.

Even Grandi at least has SOME thought about me other than the claim. You literally have nothing

My reads are that you're scum, you're posting a lot to look like a productive player to get past the fact that you were tracked to a kill. I'm somewhat suspect on Windward and Neverhelm for posting with you and acting like this is anything other than activity for the sake of activity, but hey we'll see when you flip.

If I'm tunneling on Psycho, it's cause the fact that we're even really arguing about this has kinda got me bewildered. I don't have other reads cause as far as I'm concerned the only concerning posters are Psycho and the people supporting them. If Psycho somehow ain't scum at least one of you is.

Everyone else is middling, I guess I'm skeptical of the merchants, but they are probably 3p.

Wow, I know you haven't seen my scum game, but I'm not that bad, lmao. I do have a pretty good awareness of what looks partnered or not; I would never be that careless.

I'm low content, I'm an easy low risk target. Also fwiw, I dont think you're all scum. But if I get lunched today, I'll flip town and then I assume Psycho goes tomorrow. If Psycho is also town then no one in either vote is really implicated.

For gently caress's sake.

The "if" was that if you lunch Psycho after lunching me and they flip town. The if was on Psycho's flip not mine. I'm not gonna slip like that.

"If you lunch me today, I will flip town. Then presumably you lunch Psycho tomorrow, if he flips town then scum could be on either vote today, cause it'd be town v town, so the votes today become a lot less useful for future reads"

Is that clearer?

"No one is implicated" didnt mean "no one is scum". It was saying that if today is a town v town vote then scum could get on either of us.

I'm the King. I get a one shot ability to prevent a lunch on a chosen player, but only if I use it the night before.

Before you ask, gently caress if I know how it's a town ability. I kinda assumed it was basically cult or power thief bait, cause I couldnt see myself ever using it.

The plan was to hang onto it on the off chance I got to lylo to make it a 50/50 shot instead of a 1/3 one.

The plan was bad given my track record, but I couldn't see another town use for it short of if I got inducted into a masonry or something with an investigator?

From RWC's rolecard:

"During the day, you can use your influence as the wife of the King to ##Doublevote (public action). "

Isn't really a great look for the role.

The queen was scum due to her association with her ancestral house flavourwise, not cause of her connection to the royal house.


Nep-Nep posted:

I have misgivings about this given rwc's flip was all "the double vote doesn't work during mylo/lylo"

As for this, :shrug:. my pm says nothing about a mylo/lylo restriction. I assume because if I get it to mylo/lylo, it increases the chances but doesn't guarantee a win, which the double vote would.

also asf if you're town immunizing someone other than yourself doesn't make it a 50/50, it makes it a 50/50 (whether or not you can convince the other town) or a 0 (you immunized the scum)

No I'd immunise myself for lylo, to force the vote to be between the other townie and the last scum.

To be clear, my role pm makes no mention of any restriction other than

- I have to set it up the night before

- it's announced to the thread.


Psycho got caught going to the nightkill. I know I'm dead, but maybe don't completely discount something like that just cause someone else posts bad. Good night all, it's late here.
