Just as a reminder, Christmas Knight (aka Secret Santa 2018) is in sign-ups. It would be great to get a few more players. If you haven't yet sent in a role, I'd appreciate it if you can try to get it in as soon as possible, so that dimochka and I can start working on set-up and balance. When do you...

Thanks for the game Madge and Sabrar. I had a lot of fun. I think the setup worked well, and I enjoyed the heist mechanic. BoomFrog, you are the Ultimate Mammal (Amphibian?) Genius. That being said, I was very impressed in how spectacularly well Zen's message gambit N1 worked. Thanks everyone else f...

jimbobmacdoodle

B99: And the Zenii N1 message gambit pays off... Nicely done. Maybe mpolo claiming being blocked by bessie is enough to save him, but I don't think so. Also, mpolo should realise that if he has a supporter, then they'd just vote for the other townie, so that was a massive mistake, I think. I...

B99: @Madge, so if BoomFrog had been killed, how would you have written the flavour for a dog being handcuffed to a table?? It's going to come down to which way Mark can be persuaded, probably. @Madge, Sabrar, mpolo has no more ability to kill, right? Is his win condition to get down to a 1v1. H...

B99: Doesn't doctor happen before kill in NAR, so that it clearly prevents the next kill? If so, I'd put Seraph Knight at the same level, so it would protect Mark against a killing power. I agree that things shouldn't be further clarified unless asked re. the win condition. It's pret...

As several of you will have noticed, I've put up the sign-ups for Secret Santa. Rest assured that there'll be no Wheel-of-Time-style twists. Maybe. Or maybe not

Okay, you're in! I'll try to get a sign up post together this evening.

@all - if anybody thinks any of the regular Secret Santa rules should be changed, let me know. I can't think of any tweaks, but if there's interest, I'm listening.

jimbobmacdoodle

B99: Town!Vicarin would Follow mpolo who is suspected of being an indie to find out what type, I reckon. Also, he doesn't need to claim he vacuums the sash, because he could have just got it after scum!somitomi got lynched. Him bring caught with the sash isn't really a big deal if he plays i...

I'm not sure exactly when I'll get a chance to put up the Secret Santa sign up list, but I'll try to do it soon. Usual rules with how to sign up will apply, i.e. coming up with roles for other olayers etc. I'm planning on a Monty Python and the Holy Grail kind of theme in silliness level, but non-sp...

B99: What do I still need to answer? Is it the mentor question? I had been thinking about it and I currently think that a mafia mentor that recruits from among town and changes the alignment and win condition of his mentee is outside the scope of this game. I was thinking about it earlier, we had a ...

B99: Wouldn't it still be possible for town to win at 1-2-1? If the two mafia are doused and not the townie, and mpolo ignites whilst being night killed, all three scum would die leaving the lone townie remaining. That would be a hilarious way for town to win, although I don't expect it to h...

B99: Wait? Who has the sash currently, and why has this not been discussed yet? Did Vicarin kill LaserGuy, or somitomi? If Vicarin, and he gets targeted, he's going to be in a world of pain come the next day, for not claiming to have the sash, given his earlier comments. That means that a somito...

jimbobmacdoodle

B99: I'm not sure Vicarin has that much town credit, it's just that a lot of people have suspicions on somitomi, which essentially rules out Vicarin as scum, due to some pretty epic D2 bussong, complete with what could have been a swing vote by somitomi on Vicarin. Speaking of which, somitom...

Am I dead? Did Bessie Vig me because she can never truly trust my mad scheming? Did Zenii kill me because I'm hinting at being on to him? Am I going to simply die of anxiety waiting for the night results?

B99: @Sabrar: Follower results are significantly worse than cop results, because they are inherently ambiguous. Even a kill result doesn't guarantee scum, since a town vig could still fall under that category. Similarly, protective role could be roleblocker, which is more often a scum role, but ...

@Zenii - unvote me. :lol: Feeling a bit under pressure are we?

jimbobmacdoodle

Thinking purely about claims so far, and maybe a little bit of vote patterns. Okay, essentially confirmed town are Mark, LaserGuy, mpolo (note, LaserGuy might not be, and could be sending false info, but that seems to be a bit of a stretch, and Mark might not be, especially if Vicarin is scum). Bess...

jimbobmacdoodle

Shouldn't you vote for the person more likely to be scum? Why do you think Vicarin is more/less likely to be scum than me?

jimbobmacdoodle

Going for me over my role potentially being false is kind of hilarious while claiming to be a roleblocker, eh? At least scum!me is being honest about my ability :lol: Also, I still don't really think you're scum, but it's you or me, it looks like. At least my role is actually useful... Still nobody...

jimbobmacdoodle

Updated claim list: Jimbob: Roleblocker, targeted bessie, presumed failure due to flavour, sash rules, and other claims. Bessie had sash D1. mpolo: Self-watcher. Saw bessie and two others N1 visit him. bessie: Tracker N1, Universal Backup. Had sash D1. Tracked mpolo N1. Got result (on self? I can't ...

Unvote

Guess I'll go back here then. I still think Follower is potentially a false role.

You might well be the deciding vote. If you don't pick one of the three leading wagons, you are likely going to end up getting lynched.

I could have just stayed on you and you'd have been lynched... :p. Your scum read on me is pure OMGUS because I pushed you so hard D1.

Actually, I've been reasonably certain my ability failed since I got my result PM, but there is the possibility that a) flavour is giving false impressions, and b) roleblocker doesn't affect people seeing the blocked player visit someone. Admittedly, I don't think either of those were likely, but i...
