What do you see? You see an ass head of your own, do you?:

You may visit other players at night three times during the game. The result of the visits may be nothing, or may be something. Time will tell!

The eye of man hath not heard, the ear of man hath not seen:

One time during your visits, you can choose to copy an ability of the targeted player's non-factional abilities. You must let me know when you place your night action that you want to use this ability that night. I will randomly select which ability you copy if the target has more than one non-factional ability.

Slings and Arrows

: There is a possibility that visiting a player could remove one or more of your abilities.

You shall play it in a mask, and you may speak as small as you will:

For each dialogue you send, you will also get a random snippet of flavor from the player's role card.

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.

A gallant curtle-axe upon my thigh, a boar spear in my hand:

Before the end of Day One you must send me the name of the player that you want to bodyguard for the rest of the game, exchanging your life for theirs, should they otherwise be killed.

A traveller! By my faith, you have great reason to be sad:

After Night One, two times you may target a player during the game, and prevent them from making any night actions.

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

Many thanks to you all for playing! It has been a somewhat rigourous pleasure to present this game to you!

[Pavowski]

NO

[Spiffeh]

I'm so sorry
I am so terribly sorry

THIS ONE HURTS

I should just make this my sig

[Spiffeh]

Thanks for the game ffery, definitely did not give it the effort it deserves and Town paid for it.

Bell you played great, congrats!

Pav is definitely MVP for loverizing two scum on Night 1!

[Pavowski]

I mean thanks Ffery the game was awesome but NO

[fferyllt]

You caught me right in the middle of pizza! Sorry the final vote counts and flip was a little delayed.

It's going to take me a little while to release all the PTs, in the meanwhile please discuss how excruciating this game was!

[notscience]

lol

[Pavowski]

Like I even asked on the penultimate day if anybody had clears on Icebox and nobody said boo about it and I should've chased it down and DAMNATION

[Pavowski]

Omg I have to lie down

[Dunnstral]

At least limlo didn't drag on

[marcistar]

[marcistar]

gj icebox!! bell u were so op BAHAHA

[fferyllt]

I thought there was going to be one more incredible plot twist to this game. I actually thought at first Dunnstral had left out the wording of his post restriction in his vote post, as a way to bait the the hammer if Icebox was scum.

One -- Dunnstral did include the words "bowser is obvtown" in his vote post.

and Two -- Icebox was taking no chances, and waited for the vote count to ensure there were no shenanigans.

What a finish, my heart was racing!

[GuiltyLion]

woooowwww I didn't even consider Icebox, well played!

ffery this game was so fun, thank you for all the work you put in design, flavor, everything! I loved playing

[Pavowski]

Oh god it hurts

I have lost some games on this site but this one hurts

Well damn played Bell, I hate you

[fferyllt]

Let me explain what happened on night 1.

I missed one interaction as I was going through all the night actions and all the notes about hidden interactions. Puck targeting Icebox with the post restriction vanilla-ized Icebox. Given the way the night actions resolved, Ice box was loverized and then vanillaized before Dawn. So, Galron was an unrequited lover. If Icebox died, he would die too, but not the other way around.

I do think having to work this out partway through day 2 did give Bell some undeserved town credit. But I also think that he played an incredibly good game basically from Day 2 onward. Day 1 was a little shakey, though!

Pavowski's loverizing of two scum was a great move, based on some great reads!

[notscience]

Wait a minute are you telling me WE were the reason bell wasnt loverized

GOD DAMNIT

[Pavowski]

Wait a minute are you telling me WE were the reason bell wasnt loverized

GOD DAMNIT

You and me are gonna fight IRL

[notscience]

I'm pretty sure spiffeh has first dibs

[Skybird]

This was a great game! I had a lot of fun playing with everyone. Congrats Bell on a well played game!
