[borkjerfkin]

@Varsoon - I had some plans floating around, but honestly I'm really burned out atm (partially due to anxiety on how sloppy this setup turned out to be) that I'd like to take my time with it.

[GuyInFreezer]

What could alice exactly do to prevent poison?

[GuyInFreezer]

Also bork you should post that picture.
It summerizes the game really well.

Since then, she has lived the life of a recluse, but recently the two have hatched a plan to seal off the barrier between the Earth and the Moon so that they cannot be pursued, creating a moonless, imperishable night.

Abilities:

• Eientei (Communication) {Factional, Night} - Safe in the labyrinthine halls of Eientei, you and your compatriots, who are:
  • Psyclone -

    Eirin Yagokoro (Lunarian 1-Shot Poisoner/Roleblocker)

• Eirin’s Dossiers (Information) {Factional} - You have access to the following information about your opposition:
  • Fujiwara no Mokou
    - This immortal girl is obsessed with Kaguya and will die if Kaguya dies first. Kaguya, however, is much less concerned with Mokou and will not die if Mokou dies first.
    
  • Alice Margatroid
    - Reports show the defensive powers of this girl to be formidable, and she might be a match for Eirin’s abilities.
    
  • [Identity Unknown]
    - Scouts report that someone who does not belong here has recently arrived, and might bring some equipment that you weren’t expecting that could ruin your plans. Keep an eye out.
• Astral Projection (Flavor Cop and Permanent Track) {Active, Night, 1-Shot} Kaguya can have her moon rabbits ransack someone’s place, and return an object of importance to her. Enchanting that object could provide clues to where they go at night.
  Select a target in your QT. If your action succeeds AND this person has anything of value, you will receive an object which may give you clues as to who this person is. Additionally, you will be informed every night thereafter of who they visit. This person will be informed that they were stolen from.

Win condition:

• The Lunarian Faction makes up 50% of the living population, or nothing can stop this from occurring.

Fakeclaim:

The following character is not in the game.

Marisa Kirisame (Terran 1-Shot Flavor Cop)

Instead, Marisa spends most of her time pilfering books and magical items from her contemporaries, much to their chagrin. Still, when the chips are down, Marisa’s altruistic nature occasionally does have a chance to shine.

Abilities:

• Five-finger Discount (Flavor Cop) {Active, Night, 1-Shot} The first step is admitting you have a problem. Marisa doesn’t see the continual acquisition of goods without a fee as much of a problem.
  PM me a target. If your action succeeds AND this person has anything of value, you will receive an object which may give you clues as to who this person is. This person will be informed that they were stolen from.

Eirin Yagokoro (Lunarian 1-Shot Poisoner/Roleblocker)

Eirin is the loyal friend of Kaguya Houraisan who followed the exiled princess when she fled from the moon so long ago.

  Select a target in your QT. If your action succeeds, this target will be both prevented from using any active ability that night, and will also die at the end of the FOLLOWING night. However, at the end of this night, they will become aware of their impending doom. This does NOT count as your factional kill and may be used the same night as someone else on your team performing the factional kill.

Win condition:

Fakeclaim:

The following character is not in the game.

Sakuya Izayoi (Terran 1-Shot Role Delayer)

Abilities:

• Stop Time (Role Delay) {Active, Night, 1-Shot} Sakuya’s ability to manipulate time is understood by few and counterable by none.
  PM me a target. If your action succeeds, any active ability this person attempts to use will instead occur the following night on the same target, if applicable. If this role would normally receive a result, they will get a result tomorrow as if their action had failed, but will get the correct result for tomorrow night the following day.

[Varsoon]

@Bork- No worries. Your games have been excellent, and you're easily my favorite mod on-site. When you decide to run another, let me know?

[borkjerfkin]

What could alice exactly do to prevent poison?

Alice's protect could prevent its application.

I had toyed with Reimu/Remilia being able to remove it and scrapped the idea.

@Varsoon - thanks man. Will do.

[GuyInFreezer]

Scum QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/VbkajUNKB8K

I'm pretty sure no one have any objections posting this so

[borkjerfkin]

I know someone asked this:

Nitori was in the game to balance numbers. I didn't want to touch Tewi because of her pro-Eientei/non-Lunarian status

[ArcAngel9]

What the helll...
why didnt you guys wait.. told you all no hasty votes..
thenewearth and pie -WHY???

[borkjerfkin]

Also bork you should post that picture.
It summerizes the game really well.

[Cabd]

Well.... I guess if nothing else this game has shown me to never ever put in a uni-directional cross-aligned lover.

"Hey you lynched scum your reward is to die"

[GuyInFreezer]

Tbf y'all had doc + watcher.

[Cabd]

Tbf y'all had doc + watcher.

Our watcher had a jester wincon.

[Cabd]

Actually, if we're doing setup tweaks... imagine a thing where morph had been a vig that was only capable of killing bro at the expense of our own life. (One shot per night, all other shots not aimed at bro fail) Puts shit into our own hands, sorta.

[borkjerfkin]

I generally don't use too many purely negative utility roles, but honestly I don't think the lover thing was out of line. It was one of the few swing reducing elements in the game.

[borkjerfkin]

I guess if you felt it made the game less fun overall (rather than it was not balanced), though, that's important as I'd like to remove things that make the game less fun.

[Cabd]

Well, I certainly would never put it in one of my games after experiencing it as my own role.

[borkjerfkin]

That's fair, and I'm sorry you did not enjoy the role.

[Cabd]

It's okay, ffery enjoyed it for me, I guess.

[fferyllt]

Having been beloved princess a couple times in offsite games, any lover variation is an improvement. I prefer star-crossed, though, because of all the strategy involved.

[Natirasha]

I'd do scum-aligned unrequited lover because that creates interesting objective-based gameplay as scum, but town-aligned is just punishing because you have to lynch them to fulfill your win condition.

[borkjerfkin]

i think i might be done with lovers outside of opens. I think cabd has convinced me that they aren't terribly fun.

[penguin_alien]

...so that happened. Quick day phases here; couldn't make it to post last night with blowing out my knee and passing out earlier than expected, not that it would have mattered.

The unidirectional lover thing where it penalizes town for finding scum is rough for town. But Beloved Princess is worse, I agree.

Thanks for the game, bork, and congrats to the scum team!
