Secret Santa 2018: As things stand, LaserGuy is killing moody, who is protecting bessie, and being checked by MoA, who is also giving coal to LaserGuy, so MoA will know pretty definitively that LaserGuy is scum, and Mark and moody's flips should give the remaining information to confirm LaserGuy...

The chase to track the Mouse had exhausted everyone. Running in full-plate armour was not exactly the easiest of tasks. Why anybody thought it was a good idea to leave the horses behind was not clear at all. Darkness was falling, and there was still no sign of their prey. The hound seemed to be unc...

That's hammer. Will post day end post later.

The knights were running ahead, arguing over what they should do when they finally caught up with the Mouse. It took a while for one of the group to look around and realise that Sir Jimbob and his entourage were nowhere to be seen. The group stopped and waited. After a few minutes, Sir Jimbob emerg...

Secret Santa 2018: Mark believes LaserGuy is scum, but LaaerGuy only thinks Mark is indie, which means he might not shoot him, expecting there to be one more day. Both need a town lynch or they're in trouble, as either flipping non town essentially confirms the other. If Mark had claimed indie e...

Drive-by post as I go to bed. Don't forget that deadline is 8pm UTC on Monday, i.e. approximately 21 hours time. I will try to get a votals post etc up in the morning.

Secret Santa 2018: @Vicarin, if there's a mislynch tonight, I could see scum killing each other, although I agree it's relatively unlikely in that case for various reasons that I will go through when I have more time (LG doesn't know SK still exists, MC cannot kill both tonight and t...

Secret Santa 2018:

Spoiler:

Secret Santa 2018: N2, bessie's target of you was swapped with one of MoA's at random, which turned out to be you again, so effectively there was no redirection. The message by MoA to you then got blocked by that protection again. The curse, and one (or maybe 2) other abilities (...

jimbobmacdoodle

Secret Santa 2018: I'm still not convinced it was wrong to include moody's ability in the game, but I do think I should have included a Godfather. Although town seems quite strong, many abilities were pretty useless or very weak at least (plytho's chat ability, MoA's original ven...

Secret Santa 2018: Relevant N1 action submissions: 1) bessie targeted Sabrar. 2) wam targeted bessie. 3) MoA targeted multiple people including Sabrar and bessie. 4) Sabrar targeted bessie. 5) SuicideJunkie targeted Sabrar. 6) mpolo targeted Sabrar and MoA. Resolution: 1)...

Day 4: Explosive Presents Several of the knights did not get much sleep that night, as they considered all that had happened the previous day. Some questioned what honour truly means, whilst others tried to figure out why Sir SuicideJunkie had gone off dashing up the hill. Others wondered why Sir S...

Secret Santa 2018 (@Sabrar): Going off memory here, because I don't have quick access to my notes, but IIRC, there were two redirections involved, which actually meant bessie targeted herself, and your message got redirected to her as well. bessie's protection couldn't then prevent that ...

Secret Santa 2018: Underdog is different to cult, because the Underdog knows about the upcoming changes to their alignment. I'd be hesitant to even call it an alignment change, since they don't have an alignment as such up front. Rather, it's more like an indie who is trying to keep the ...

Secret Santa 2018 @SuicideJunkie: All Mark has to do is shoot successfully (which he can do by targeting the remaining protective ability), assuming he has the sense not to use his other ability. Secret Santa 2018 @ jimbob I'm a bit confused there. Do you mean for stealth reasons, a hid...

jimbobmacdoodle

Secret Santa 2018 @SuicideJunkie: You might well be right. Mark was effectively cleared of being Mafia for blocking the N1 kill, and moody's second shot isn't going to confirm anything one way or the other that wasn't already broadly believed, and could reinforce a Godfather suspicion. L...

Secret Santa 2018 (SuicideJunkie may read): Strictly speaking, self-hammering like that is probably playing against your win condition, but it's actually worked out better for you. Because your faction was the first to be eliminated, you now have a team-mate in the form of Mark, who has joined y...

After how long the previous day had dragged on for, this day seemed to go much faster for some reason. However, in many regards otherwise, it was basically the same. Sir Jimbob was disappointed that none of the group seemed to be rushing off to take on the beast up the mountain. How could the quest ...

That's hammer! No more posting. Day end post to follow when I get home this evening.

"Do, what should we do to destroy that mouse, everyone?" asked Sir Jimbob. "I propose we send another knight to take it on. I think Sir LaserGuy should have the honour," replied Sir Vicarin. "Wait, who are you?" Votals: LaserGuy(2): Vicarin, SuicideJunkie SuicideJunkie...

Secret Santa 2018: In retrospect, putting in the mass cop ability in its current form without some kind of Godfather was a mistake, even with the two shot limitation, when combined with the XOR cop. Assuming moody survives tonight, he'd be best off submitting his second action, and there really ...

jimbobmacdoodle

Secret Santa 2018: Right, let's see what the players make of last night, with two NKs. LaserGuy is very fortunate to get a kill today. He originally was going to kill Sabrar, but changed his mind. Meanwhile, bessie protected Sabrar last night. He changed his target to plytho, who Vicarin was goi...

D3: Christmas Chaos For many, the following night was not a quiet one. Many of the knights were up to various schemes and plots to make sure their agenda was fulfilled or to try to prepare themselves for the next day. The next morning, they emerged from their tents to see freshly fallen snow on the...

Night deadline has passed. You may no longer change your action. Result PMs and D2 flavour should be posted in the next 12 hours, but I'm going to bed! Happy New Year!

It's come to my attention that I forgot to state in the rules post that players may not target dead players. However, that is an intended rule. I am updating the rules post accordingly.

Effective immediately, Vicarin replaces mpolo.

We are still waiting on some night action submissions. Please send them in ASAP, or you risk not having an action!

As the sun began to set, a group of knights came to Sir Jimbob, to declare what they had agreed upon. “After spending much time in silent deliberation and contemplation, we have decided that the honour of slaying the Dreaded Mouse of Weihnachten should fall to Sir wam. A few others felt that for hi...

"Mi'lord, some of the group are complaining of being tired. Perhaps we should take a break?" "What? Half of them have been asleep for most of the day! Once they have made the decision who will be given the honour of taking on the Mouse, then we will stop, no sooner!" Votals: Mar...

As several people were out of contact for a couple of days (including the mods), I'm granting a 24 hour extension. Deadline will now be Saturday the 29th no sooner than 9pm UTC. Either dimochka or I will post a new deadline timer once we get a chance.

BoomFrog is voteless and his vote should not be listed. I'm currently on a phone in a foreign country, so internet is too weak to check the right number, but the only current affects affecting the votals are the extra wam vote and no vote for BoomFrog.

Please remember that it is against the rules to state anything about your submission in thread, including anything that says that you did not submit a specific role, or strongly implies that to be the case.

The knights were all arguing about which of them should be sent to defeat the Mouse. It seemed like two of the knights were being put forward for the honour of doing so.

I made a small mistake in Madge's ability (now fixed): it only reflected powers targeting her.

Secret Santa 2018: One of the reasons that rule 7 needs to exist is because without it, everybody will just claim what they submitted day 1 and then it becomes a case of trying to solve a logic puzzle ("whoever has the xor cop should target A and B, whoever has the doctor should target C et...

jimbobmacdoodle

Secret Santa 2018: Well, well, well. Two players ended up self-targeting, one of MoA's messages appears to have vanished into the aether, and the mafia kill was blocked by an ability that is no longer in the hands of the protector! That's pretty chaotic, I reckon. I'm sad that MoA decide...

D2: The Festive Foe It took a long time for the camp to quiet down that night. Squires bustled about from place to place. Knights strolled around. The servants dressed up as steeds pretended to neigh. Eventually, it all quietened down, and everybody went to sleep. The next morning, everybody emerge...

Secret Santa 2018: Tonight is going to be interesting indeed. Apart from anything else, as things stand, there are going to be no kills! Mafia are being blocked by the Underdog's ability (well done Mark, but I'm not convinced that this helps you get towards your win condition!), and ...

“Right, I believe this is far enough. I make it a whole mile from the castle. Everybody, tie up your horses to the tree over there, and then let’s gather around this fire that somebody conveniently left lit.” The knights stood around telling the squires what to do. Some tied up some of the others, ...
