Welcome!

You are

Portia

Besides, the lottery of my destiny bars me the right of voluntary choosing:

You have three wooden caskets. Each casket is made of a rare and precious wood: Macacauba, Desert Ironwood, and Khamphi Rosewood. Each night, you can choose the casket that will hold your portrait and a scroll and send it to a player of your choice. If the player can be targeted that night and chooses the correct box, then you will gain a private thread with the player.

Mine own, I would say. But if mine, then yours, And so all yours:

If you establish a neighborhood, then both of you will gain a one-shot night action to share. The nature of the one-shot will be revealed to you both in the neighborhood.

I could teach you how to choose right, but I am then forsworn. So will I never be:

During the Day, you may not say, hint, or imply which box you intend to be the correct choice on any future night. If you're not sure about something you want to post regarding the caskets, please discuss with me first. You could lose the ability if I feel this constraint has been violated.

Slings and Arrows

: There is one player, who if you target them, will take some coins from you.

When they do choose, they have the wisdom by their wit to loose.:

Be bloody, bold, and resolute:

Each Night you can send me a prediction of who you think will die that Night. If you are correct, you will gain a neighborhood with the dead player that will last for the next Day and Night.

Slings and Arrows:

If you gain a neighborhood with the dead, then your game thread posting will be restricted to 75 posts the following day. If you gain another neighborhood, then the restriction will be 50 posts. For a third neighborhood, the restriction will be 25 posts. Subsequent restrictions will be 13 posts per day. In MELO or ELO no earned restriction will be applied.

A win condition hath been achieved!

Spoiler: Wisdom's role:

Welcome!

You are

Shylock

, of

The Merchant of Venice

You are your play's principle antagonist, and the characterizations are almost trope-like stereotypes. Though reviled as an onstage villain when introduced, layers of literary criticism over the years have given your character a more favorable interpretation.

I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano; A stage where every man must play a part, and mine is a sad one:

You have a secondary win condition you can choose to pursue if you wish: accumulate

12 gold coins

before the game ends. If you cannot achieve this, you may still win or lose based on your primary win condition (below). If you do satisfy your secondary win condition, you will leave the game and the remaining players will continue to fight it out. You can distribute your

12 gold coins

as you see fit after you win by PMing me the names of the player(s) you wish to fund and how many coins you bequeath to each of them.

There is no vice so simple but assumes some mark of virtue on his outward parts:

You have 6 potions. You can choose to offer 2 of them to another player at night by sending me a PM with the player and the potions you wish to offer them. The player you choose can buy one of the potions from you for

2 gold coins

, or turn the offer down. You cannot offer the same potions on consecutive nights unless you have fewer than 4 potions left. You cannot give yourself any of the potions. The potions are:

• A potion that will allow the recipient one post on the following day upon their death.
  
• A potion that will allow the recipient to learn if they were targeted by a night action, but not who targeted them or what the action was.
  
• A potion that will allow the recipient to learn if another player was targeted and what the action was.
  
• A potion that will double the number of coins the player receives during the next day phase.
  
• A potion that will allow a player to steal one coin from someone else and spend it on the same night.
  
• A potion that will allow a player to place a post limit on another player on the day phase of their choice. The post limit will be (100/Day #) rounded up.

Though justice be thy plea consider this, that in the course of justice none of us should see salvation:

There may be other aspects of your role of which you are currently unaware.

We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy:

• I will buy with you, sell with you, talk with you, walk with you, and so following; but I will not eat with you, drink with you, nor pray with you:
  You can buy a spell that will give you a single night's protection from death. You can choose which night to use the spell. The cost is
  2 gold coins

Not Voting

(5): Dunnstral, Skybird, Bowser Jr., Pavowski, Icebox

With 5 alive, it takes 3 to eliminate.

Deadline: December 22, Noon US Eastern Time.

Countdown: (expired on 2021-12-22 09:00:00)

Mod Notes:

-

[Icebox]

Holy shit I hate this game now.

-Bell

[Pavowski]

Jesus. Can't really post tonight but just noticing the carnage. Fook.

I totally expect to be limmed today over Titus but I am not responsible for her being in love.

[Skybird]

Ditto what Icebox said.
I don't know where to go from here.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Hello and greetings, alive ones. My name is Portia, and I have something to say. This is the effect of the potion I bought from Wisdom, taking effect.

I was loverized with Titus LAST NIGHT. The loverizing scum exists and is the last one alive. This clears Icebox because he was PROVABLY loverized with Galron.

I'll keep this very short and sweet. I'd like it if you could trust me on this.

Bowser Jr. is the final scum.

Skybird is clear, Icebox is clear, Dunn was against Galron on the day of Galron death, leaving only Pav and Bowser Jr.

And Bowser Jr. is the one who actively defended Cephrir from dying when it looked like Ceph might die, feel free to read it back.

In my mind, Bowser Jr. -> Pav wins the game, but Bowser Jr. should just be a win regardless.

I'm not one for long catchup posts, but know that. Skybird is clear, Icebox is clear and Dunn is MOSTLY clear but not 100%. If I'm wrong I'm pretty confident it's Dunn I'm wrong about, but... I don't think I'm wrong.

But still, that's a matter for a 3p ELO if it comes to such a thing. At that point (probably Icebox/Skybird, Dunn, Pav alive?) you can just go over everything and shoot your own shot and go for what you believe in between Pav and Dunn.

But for today, follow my brain. Bowser Jr. is scum. Early game their posts were scummy, they defended known scum Cephrir, etc etc etc

Thank you for your faith in advance,

Niamh

[Skybird]

Looking at vote counts, I noticed that Icebox and Bowser, Jr look suspicious. What do other people think?
P-edit:
VOTE: Bowser Jr

[Pavowski]

Oh God I'm neighborized with Bowser oh God oh fook

[Bowser Jr.]

Hey we are Town

I don't know who is scum. I literally did not know Gamma/marci was dead going into today until I saw the votecount and am actually flabbergasted there are only five of us left.

Haven't really read this game like since before Thanksgiving so uh I feel bad about that but maybe notty has and can do stuff to get us to not get limmed here and just hit scum instead?

~Spiffy

[Pavowski]

I was loverized with Titus LAST NIGHT. The loverizing scum exists and is the last one alive. This clears Icebox because he was PROVABLY loverized with Galron.

I am smelling what LLD is cooking but I'm not sure about this part. I loverized icebox/Galron way back when. Is there a hard clear on icebox aside from this?

Cuz I mean. This is a good reason to vote me

[Pavowski]

(and it turns out I do have a bit of time tonight, though not really "rereading a 100+ page thread" time)

[Skybird]

Pav, how did you get a hood with Bowser.

[Pavowski]

I have no idea, I was notified at dawn.

[Pavowski]

And this 'hood is permanent while we are both alive.

[Pavowski]

Which, to be fair, probably shouldn't be long. There is another loverizer out there and if you have to kill me to find them I fully embrace my fate

[Bowser Jr.]

Pav, how did you get a hood with Bowser.

Our role creates one when I target pav. Luke literally talked about this two days and asked why I didn’t, glad to see we’re paying attention!

I figured we might as well confirm we’re telling the truth

But nah we’re totally scum and if it’s not us it’s Dunn Bc setup spec. Y’all are in sn auto win at this point so just kill me and make yourselves look bad then kill Dunn, LLD is confirmed via gamma, Bell is town and skybird was targeted by Galron.

[Bowser Jr.]

Don’t draw this shit out just get the show on the road.
