Sigh I really wish I had been around to tell Gamma to stop, before Prism had repped out.

Maybe I was wrong to not force replace since Gamma's continued posts about it were also, really bad for the game

I don't like to take drastic action when it's not completely clear it needs to be taken. I do not think Gamma was intending to hurt Prism, I'm sure that is agreed upon, but he did and it was particularly harmful and he isn't learning

I feel like I let the playerlist down on that

[Morning Tweet]

also just one thing i wanna make sure, everyone's agreeing that the throne is most likely an execution of some kind?

There’s three schools of thought

• It’s a standard elimination
  
• The person voted in becomes King and executes a player
  
• The person voted in gets voted “guilty” or “not guilty” a la ToS elimination mechanics

Generally the prevailing play is treat it like 1), but make sure the player is leashed if it’s 2)

heh, the reason i dont let others besides the king talk during event #2 at the start is I do not want their decision leashed. It needs to be on them at least to some extent.

Hopefully people don't hate that mechanic

[Morning Tweet]

I don't understand why Gamma wont let himself be bussed, this is one of the most one-sided D1s ive ever seen

[Morning Tweet]

We're running out of time. We have less than 8 days to get a counter wagon going. I can see why Galron feels pressured.

got a smirk from me

"This will never do! Therefore, I have gifted you a way to deal with them. Behold.. the 'Chair of Execution'!"

This makes me think the Chair affects the entire scum team. Or the Chair is going to make other appearances. Surely the Chair wouldn't be the only way to "deal with them." Especially since it's an iron chair with restraints, I'm convinced we need scum in it.

The chair of execution nominates an executioner with a killing ability, the killing ability being what helps you get the stagehands

deceptive, yes

[Morning Tweet]

i was talking about the game in a call with one of my mates last night and i was legitimately stunned speechless at the wagon movement

I love mafia for the simplest of things, it probably makes no sense to most people

[Morning Tweet]

A game so hopeless for scum is currently spewing so many townies as scum with Gamma, in addition to the possibility of Gamma surviving this opening up

[Morning Tweet]

In the following game, the flip is not revealed until after the executioner is spared or guiltied. Reason being, I wanted you to judge the executioner by their character more so than by BoP. Time will tell if that was a good move, i guess, some might dislike that

[Morning Tweet]

does anyone think Gypyx is being coached

live look at gypyx's ego right now:

[Morning Tweet]

Hrmph. The flavor doesn’t mention anything about conducting electricity though. Why’s that a sticking point for you?

Because metal chairs with restraints make me think electric chair. So I double checked to make sure iron conducts electricity, and wiki says it does.

meh
I don’t make that same immediate association, probably because of Mysterious Benedict Society and the Whisperer

And if it's not a chair that you wouldn't want to sit in, why would there be restraints? Unless you're in to that sort of thing I guess.

To ensure the person doesn’t run from whatever fate awaits them
It could be that the death is by lethal injection.

Ensuring they don't run away is the closest guess.

The restraints are also a means of misdirection, sort of like the broken glass in the box in that one saw trap where Hoffman kills Strahm

[Morning Tweet]

HELP, I AM LOST DEFENSELESS TOWNIE WHOS BEAK IS TOO BIG FOR THEM TO MOVE SO THEY NEED TO BE CARRIED.

Taly are you okay

no, didn't you hear his beak is too big and he requires help

[Morning Tweet]

i am the snake commander

[Morning Tweet]

Scum suspects that sabotage in game 2 might be reversing the guilty/inno. I don't hate my players that much. The sabotage is to block the executioner's pick then kill someone of your choice. Executioner then picks again. Good kill tool, good wifom tool

i ALWAYS want the person voted up on game 1 to be elimable. It would be frustrating as fuck if you couldn't kill them, no?

[Morning Tweet]

sabotage message format. Edit the rules in the VCs with the pink colour, if necessary. Maybe obfuscate. Maybe strike-through.

Lock thread. Do Final VC with blocked kill. Do flavour with sabotaged kill. Show sabotaged death. Do new VC with the rules changed in pink. Continue playing

"Off With Your Head!"

After a period of consideration, the executioner makes their choice.

"Ah, PookyTheMagicalBear! Yes, of course! Off we go, then..!"

The crowd roars. The executioner shakes their head and voices protest amidst the din, but it's too late. The host already has her back turned.

Game Over!

      "Off With Your Head!"      

      IT'S SABOTAGE!      

PookyTheMagicalBear was executed, seemingly by mistake.
ExecuteName is still alive.
The executioner must select a new player to execute, and it cannot be the same as their first selection.
The game will proceed normally afterwards.

[Morning Tweet]

"Off With Your Head!"

For now, only the Executioner, Gamma Emerald, may speak.

They have an additional forty-eight hours to choose a new Noble to lose their head. That Noble is killed, but not yet flipped.

ExecuteName may not be chosen to be executed!

Then, the surviving Nobles have forty-eight hours to discuss and vote whether to

Execute

or

Spare

the Executioner.
The Executioner may continue to speak during this time. The dead Nobles may not. All flips will only occur after the second vote ends.
If a town-aligned Executioner is spared, there is an undisclosed benefit for town in the following game. You will not learn if this occurs.

---

Decision 2.1.0

Executioner:

Gamma Emerald

With 1 executioner deliberating, it is up to them who will live, and who will die. If no decision is made, the player voted last by the Executioner is chosen.

The deadline for this decision is in:

One of the scum likes my design for this event! Time will tell if town hates it or not.

It's a scum nightkill and town elimination with the order reversed...... sort of? It's also potentially a double elimination. It depends

The next event will let you get rid of people if this event prevents you from the one you want.

[Morning Tweet]

I should have let Nobles get "last words" upon being executed. That would have been pretty thematic and less unfun. Oh well.

Actually the noble might have just gotten to dictate the next decision. I could have had their last words published AFTER the vote, though

[Morning Tweet]

Positive reactions from Pooky and the scumteam to the game's theming so far.. im so happy!

For clarification, DaTacoX designed the image for the OP, as well as the images above the flavour. I paint.net'd up the images aside each votecount, as well as did the defacing magenta scribbling wherever you see that (Such as over the op/flavour images and over the death avatars). very grateful for his help on those things as im pretty useless at graphic design in general

[Morning Tweet]

Dwlee's avatar edit sucks im changing it to be cooler

Also Galron stole the "out of time" thing by switching his prof pic lol

[Morning Tweet]

hell of a comeback by gamma there

(Which was my intention behind the execution event structure. Put in the work, turn your life around)

[Morning Tweet]

Definitely open to hearing how I could have designed that sabotage to be less frustrating for that event, for sure

I want scum to have the ability to kill key players, though, they need that. Maybe blocking Galron was too much -- but he's not going anywhere, believe me.

[Morning Tweet]

Galron looks bad but my worry is that scum are bamboozling us and it's just a red herring

sabotage there is optimal regardless of the target's alignment (and it is INCREDIBLY annoying to think about) but irrelevant i'm looking purely in terms of day 1

By the way, the sabotage is preemptive. It's a bit less powerful than peta thinks -- let's say there's town on the stand. The sabotage has to be activated before the executioner votes. So scum may not know exactly who it's going to block

But when paired with a scum on the stand, it can be a little more deadly. Only problem is, you've got scum who was eliminated D1 and is currently facing a trial to die or not, so it's a little more warranted that the power is better.

[Morning Tweet]

Ok I'm just gonna ignore the sabotage then because of huge WIFOM

This is more or less the smartest play since yeah it's good for scum blocking a scum death and it's good saving a LHF

Really that's just like a normal game when scum whiteknights LHF to save them for a future elim versus piles on LHF

The most informational thing is probably that scum felt the need to use one of their sabotages this early in the game when the obvtown haven't even come out yet. That implies they were getting huge value. Is saving Galron in order to die on the next phase huge value? Getting a perceived crucial night kill, making Gamma look good, making Galron look bad, all in one play, now that all adds up

This is a little rough for town -- next event is a double elimination where only one elimed dies. Scum can trade one for one nightkill if they please.
Next one is another elimination -- scum can do a nightkill if they want but it's two NKs attached to two potential elims so thats info
The fifth game is extremely good for town
Sixth game also extremely good for town assuming there is scum at the bottom of the totem pole (if not, it's quite bad)

[Morning Tweet]

I'd rather scum's stronger kill options be closer to the start of the setup rather than the end. Their sabotages do not kill starting game 5 (there's a kill in 6 but it can only kill a scummy player, it's more for the roleblock). There's a "send to hell" but that's less of a kill.

[Morning Tweet]

I'm sad petapan's frustrated about the game mechanics. I hope it improves
