I like the ability to strip mafia of a power; it's annoying to give them a roleblocker but at least we know what it is, where it might go, and if it's given to town we can leash it hopefully.

Have some other thoughts about setup (I like how we don't die via lovers) and wonder if this will pan out better than some dance games without self-survival being a factor.

What do posting patterns have to do with alignment? Especially in an anonymous game, with anonymous time zones?

Must like long walks and have a great sense of humor.

Also preferably of town alignment because I don't need to be pocketed in a PT that would not be fun.
These feel like town starting off.

I don't think that's how a delayer works.

I also think it'd be more informative & exciting for us to eliminate the unpaired player.

I do like the way you think about this and think it's more likely to come from town.

It looks like the delayer has to be used one night after.

If not used by the end of D1, it never gets used.

Only one I’m currently worried about is purple and diamond is currently unreadable.

It's weird playing a game with no RVS...

Since being unpaired doesn't mean automatic death in this game, I can volunteer to be the lone shape. In this scenario, I'll just keep the Delay holstered so it won't be an issue going forward. I'd prefer to be paired of course, but I think this is the easiest way to deal with this situation and make it a non-issue.

Ah, it’s a permanent effect on a pair. Yeah I’d prefer to not see it get used in that case because I presume that won’t be able to affect the NK.

This reads as TMI. How do you know scum has a Roleblocker?

I have small pings from this post. It's a very... meh question.

And this one as well, perhaps a bit more. Star, why make this sort of post to volunteer if you're going to undercut it immediately with a preference? It comes across a bit LAMIST-y to me.

...whatever Power is left out receives a delayed roleblocker in lieu of their actual power. Thus, we know what power one person has.

In post 1, penguin_alien wrote:Game-specific rules and information:
* One Power will be left unpaired at the beginning of Phase Two. This player's Power will be converted into a limited one-time use of a Delayer Implementation. They will choose a Pair before the end of Phase Two whose Power implementation will be Delayed upon submission by one Night for the rest of the game (actions submitted on Night X will resolve on Night X+1 but will still be potentially impacted only by actions made by others on Night X). This will be done via private communication with the mod. If they are eliminated Day One or choose not to use their Power, no Pair will be Delayed.
Roleblocker isn't quite what the role is, but it's delaying someone temporarily from using role.

It would be ironic if the green one rolled red, right?

I did.
When I pair up with someone that loves me for the arrow shape I am, you better believe I'm vigging you.
