[Titus]

Marquis is acting very fake.
I think he might be intentionally changing his playstyle.
/s

@Titus, should we not lynch in case if we vote for a power role?

Of course not. This is different as baning revealing Alquin increases the KPN. I have played with a similiar mechanic on darklordpotter.net. The idea is matching signs via massclaim is a bad idea because scum will slaughter us.

[GuyInFreezer]

/s

Someday /s will be universal for sarcasm.

So which part is a sarcasm?

The whole thing or the "intentionally changing playstyle" part?

[T S O]

I haven't read it yet, but soon!

All in good time, my man.

[Cheetory6]

Everything above the /s was sarcasm. Marquis was obviously kidding around in his first post of the game. I'm not really taking anything from it. I just like joking around earlygame to try and give myself motivation to want to post.

CDB's opener was awkward though and I'm being serious with my vote to want to bane the shiet out of him atm.

[Cheetory6]

There's a difference between massclaiming signs and having a single player who we think is scummy being able to be targetted by PRs.

I took marquis srsly.

[Cheetory6]

Talk me through that then.
Am I dumb and missed some hidden meaning in what he was saying? Because I still don't see it.

Yes but Alquin's job is to appear scummy so scum do not kill him. So if we bane, we might wind up finding Alquin as well as scum, even if playing ideally. Regardless of that point, each person we bane helps scum in finding Alquin. I am if the firm opinion weshould not bane until Day 2. Then we can have traces and detects to compare against.

[Gammagooey]

Titus the banes and boons will probably be different during the next minor day.

[Tammy]

OH

OH

OH

I thought those were sample role pms not roles we knew were in the game.

I don't think we can bane alquin. And why would we bane the town role we know of and not the scum role anyway.

[Tammy]

Never mind. I'm dumb.

I'm going to shut up and go back to working on my dissertation.

I'd appreciate it if my team would show up and keep me from looking stupider though!

[Tammy]

No wait alquin is town.

I'm confused.

Thank you! This game is pretty nerve-wracking so I'm glad at least someone sees me for the kind soul I truly am!

[DeasVail]

Can you handle... the sweetness??? Are you developing a craving for that sweet sugary goodness between your lips??? No matter what your weakness, Sickeningly Sweet has arrived to assault all

five

six of your senses and leave you powerless to prevent us from

having a lot of fun!

winning this thing!

(Don't worry about that fiery planeswalker of rage, Ceph's a sweetheart deep down)

Let's get started then, shall we?

I haven't heard from my tooth-achingly delicious friends yet on their thoughts regarding the bane and choice, but my opinion at the moment is that while I wouldn't actually be terribly upset if we went for no bane, the bane should be used as if it were a lynch if we do use it, and that's how I'm intending to use my bane vote at this stage anyway. Oh and I'm Pro-Choice1.

Yes but Alquin's job is to appear scummy so scum do not kill him.

You don't need to be scummy to stop scum from killing you. I understand where you're coming from but I don't think we have to be so anxious regarding the use of bane. Obviously Alquin doesn't want to be lynched, so using the bane as we would a lynch should work ok imo. Besides, if we bane some scummy non-Alquin townie that's a candle, we may even scare scum into killing off a potential mislynch.

No wait alquin is town.

I'm confused.

What about? I had my team talk me through the mechanics in the pregame phase when we got our role PMs because I had no idea what was going on at first.

[Tammy]

I'm confused what Titus is going on about and now that I see Alquin is actually a person in the game, I'm more interested in her stopping that line of discussion.

We talked about some things, but I don't understand things when just explained to me. I tend to have to see how it's working in motion to understand complicated mechanics.

Hopefully by about page 10, I'll stop bumbling about like an idiot.

[Marquis]

I keep thinking Alquin is the bad one even though I keep looking to remind myself he's not!

And my head's not really in the right state for this game at the moment, and because this is a special special game, instead of shitposting and talking incessantly on as usual I am going to take a step back and just watch for now!

[Tammy]

Oh, why didn't you include cephrir's pic, which is cute, instead of his alt's?

pedit: I like the use of the exclamation points!

[Marquis]

Thank you! I can already tell we are going to be the bestest of friends! After all, I can even promise not to nightkill you this time around!

[Cheetory6]

I'm not really sure how to talk about my thoughts on using Bane/engaging other people on whether we should be using Bane without it leading into a negative direction like Titus's last post kind of did.
DV's last post is more or less how I also feel about actually assigning a Bane atm.
But I feel like something else worth considering is that we don't get a Boon if we don't use a Bane.
I also feel like being able to create wagons via Bane/Boon is also super useful and we lose out if we just say "nah" in all cases because of worrying about just the worst case scenario.
