Project ARCH - Epilogue

[Dunnstral]

Tbh at first I thought mafia could have a serum pool with a list of actions w/ a cost and a limit per night. The town picking up the serum could slowly reduce the pool while gaining serum for mafia could mitigate the loss, idk

Everybody starts with 0 serum

Natural selection at it's finest.

Please tell me you don't see the value of the Mod making Negative utility roles as free food for the stronger roles to get more shit. Gimme an easy early scumread.

The mod isn't deciding who the players are lynching

If you think that the mod placed negative utility roles in the setup to be lynched, you should instead flip that around and think "ok, so based on my setup speculation, this person is probably town, so I'll avert expectations and lynch someone else instead"

I am averting expectations already though. That's why I'm going for them.

What I'm doing instead is making sure we decide who gets serum and shit. Is that so bad?

Pedit: (s)he's bringing up the idea that mafia could have a separate serum pool not tied to them in particular. Could be possible but unlikely. Thanks for bringing it up tho Cloud.

So they don't have serum, instead they have serum-x?

Sounds unlikely to me

Actually, you're arguing for policy lynching somebody that you would, by your own admissions, think is town today, for the sole purpose of gaining serum.

[Bambi Jay]

Yeah I am. Because town will need that serum.

Why did you vote for somebody random then?

I allowed myself 1 shitpost before actually playing. Sue me.

I'm only going to lynch players I believe are scum.

If somebody claimed that they gave out 6 serum to anybody who lynched them, I wouldn't lynch them, no.

Was the 'easy early scumread' thing in post 40 bravado or what?

[Bambi Jay]

It would've been easier if you haven't been the one grilling me since I started bringing it up. I have other shit to judge you by. Sadly your town rn, but that works out for us both here.

[Primate]

@Bambi: You responded to dunn calling you out for a misrep by immediatetly making another misrep. And your second point is useless pedantry.

Cloud's suggesting a factional serum pool, not a different type of serum. In the same way that each individual scum doesn't have a nightkill, the faction does and it's avaliable for them to use. (I mean maybe but eh.)

If it doesn't work the first time, keep trying until it does.

Anyway I'm going quiet for a bit to let everyone else wake up and post.

I am Dunnstral

I was going to follow this up with "...and I'm a miller." in my next post, but after post 15 I wanted to see what Bambi's deal was

[RedPanda]

Hey we had a serum debate. Let's have a company debate!

Anyone against claiming companies?

[RedPanda]

and I love people who skip rvs. I'm your fan

[Sakura Hana]

Dunn's probably town.

Dunn's probably town.

no reaction??

[Sakura Hana]

I'm not sure how that helps, im not exactly against it, but is there a reason?

disclaimer: I know nothing about the flavor other than what i read on the signups thread.

[RedPanda]

I'm a snob and I'm going to rank people based on where they work maybe

Probably a good idea with that whole 'lynch -utility town' idea suddenly popping up. Want to claim masons with me instead?

On a more serious note, I personally think it's highly likely that at least one player aligned with Simotech (flavor-wise the company

creating and distributing serum

) has an alternate means of generating serum for themselves or their team.
After reading the Chapter 1 opening claiming companies sounds like it might be an indicator of what style of role you have, i.e. if we have a doctor or similar they're probably from WNGD

[Fred the Cat]

Welcome

I hope we all can have a meeting some time

Honestly had that feeling with how you reacted so violently.

[Omochao]

ego posting
won't be here most of d1, recovering from surgery that I wasn't entirely expecting to be a thing by this game starting

[Sakura Hana]

The following list contains all companies that could exist in this game:
Iustitia
WNGD Research Centre
Aeon Technologies
Johnson and Family
GenX Inc.
Securipal
Outcasts (no company, unemployed)

I don't see Simotech here, so idk why people are bringing it up, i assume it's some flavor related thing im unaware of.

[Bambi Jay]

Simotech WAS the key Corporation that made all the smaller ones when it disbanded, besides obvious unemployment. Keyword being was.

[Rautherdir]

I mean, if you read the rules...

All players on a lynch wagon receive 2 Serum.
If a lynched player was aligned with Simotech, all players receive an additional 2 Serum.

Simotech is an alignment, not a company.
The only other known alignment is The Rebels, revealed in the Sample Role PM. (Which isn't actually a vanilla town role)

On another note, we might not have vanilla players?

[Rautherdir]

Also, Aeon Technologies might have a different alignment maybe? That's hinted at in the Chapter 1 start flavor.
