Endgame

Spoiler: Setup

Setup

• You are
  Knight Errants
  , chivalrous adventurers seeking to punish evil wherever you find it.
  
• Four of you are
  Fallen Knights
  , who seek to bring down the
  Knight Errants
  . They will murder one player each night.
  
• All matters are settled with
  duels
  , not
  lynches
  . Each of you may publicly
  challenge
  another to a duel, which
  gladiates
  the two of you.
  
• The legendary sword,
  Excalibur
  , lies
  unclaimed
  in public.
  
• Anyone can secretly
  claim
  Excalibur
  during the night, and transform into a
  Bulletproof Vigilante
  . It will be publicly announced that the sword has been
  claimed
  , but not the identity of the player who
  claimed
  it.
  
• If you are not the rightful owner of the sword, you will
  die
  instead of your target when you try to
  vig
  someone. If a
  Mafia
  -aligned player
  claims
  Excalibur
  , then he/she will immediately
  die
  .
  
• Note that if more than one player try to
  claim
  the
  Excalibur
  during the night, one of them will be
  randomly
  chosen for the sword.
  
• If the player who has the
  Excalibur
  dies, then it becomes publicly
  unclaimed
  again. You cannot willingly
  unclaim
  the sword.
  
• One of the
  Knight Errants
  is
  Arthur
  , the rightful owner of
  Excalibur
  , but he is
  unaware
  of his true nature and will receive a simple
  Knight Errant Role PM
  . (but will still flip as
  Arthur
  )
  
• Thankfully, one of you is the wizard
  Merlin
  , who is aware of
  Arthur's
  true identity. Merlin also knows who has the
  Excalibur
  at all times.
  
• Merlin
  cannot just outright say who
  Arthur
  is, because
  Mafia

  Nightkill
  resolves before the

  claiming

  of the sword.
  
  
• Finally, if there is only one
  Fallen Knight
  remaining, then he/she will surrender and the game will end in
  Town

  Victory
  .

Day 1

Excalibur is

unclaimed.

Countdown to deadline: (expired on 2018-12-03 16:00:00)

[Elsa Jay]

It starts. Thank God.

Gg no re, let's get a perfect strategy going on and not randomly duel each other day 1.

[Gamma Emerald]

Yes, let’s
Not that anyone will listen.

[Untrod Tripod]

trying to resist the urge to duel Elsa rn

[Elsa Jay]

If you do your ass will be kicked, Listmod status be damned.

[Untrod Tripod]

lol you're cute

I'll vig you last

[Kokichi Oma]

Hello...

DUNNSTRAL

[Varsoon]

How should we handle FoS if everything is gladiates?
Do we want to run an unofficial FoS system or something?

[Gamma Emerald]

How should we handle FoS if everything is gladiates?
Do we want to run an unofficial FoS system or something?

I’d be down to keep track of that if we do

[Varsoon]

I'm also trying to wrap my head around if having a secret bulletproof town player is stronger than having a bulletproof IC.

[Elsa Jay]

*swordproof.

We're in medieval times, you gotta be historically accurate.

[Varsoon]

You're right.
Swordproof.

[Gamma Emerald]

A BP IC with a vig no less

[Varsoon]

They only get the vig if they're Arthur, which they will never know unless Merlin confirms.

[Firebringer]

Everyone let us all begin by giving our Arthur reveal.

If you don’t know what I mean I am saying we all soft Merlin role and claim a person to be Arthur.
In case Merlin is night killed/lynched by accident we have our cleared townie.

Let me begin:
Varsoon is Arthur

[Elsa Jay]

Wonder what happens if Merlin gets the sword. Do they just... Become the god ruler of the town?

[DVa]

Firebringer meant to say that DVa is Arthur

[Elsa Jay]

Authur is clearly an offensive class, not a Tank, DVa. Why change class types?

[DVa]

We should do unlimited hurt tags and have whoever gets a majority of hurt tags to duel the second most hurt player.

ie HURT: Elsa

[Firebringer]

Firebringer meant to say that DVa is Arthur

If only it were true

[Elsa Jay]

We should do unlimited hurt tags and have whoever gets a majority of hurt tags to duel the second most hurt player.

ie HURT: Elsa

That implies nobody jumps in with a duel. Or the two most voted people will duel each other. Because your plan requires atleast one of them to be a willing participant to challenge the other.

[DVa]

Because your plan requires atleast one of them to be a willing participant to challenge the other.

It sure does, but if town agrees that having top scumreads duel each other is preferable to having people yolo duel then maybe it will discourage people from yolo dueling.

Most games with this mechanic are lost or become frustrating/boring for town because of yolo dueling. So there needs to be a clear town position that yolo dueling will result in losing the duel.

[Firebringer]

If I was town this game.
I would yolo duel.


Good thing I’m not

Fuuuuck no
Read the mechanics again.
