No biggie. Help Red out this week if you can. I’ll be out of town(though I do expect to have internet).
storyteller is my HP doppleganger. I agree with everything he said about masons. Masons should weigh in last and not affect the vote record.
In fact, what storyteller said could even be strengthened further. He said that he has no more information than anyone else, but in fact, he has strictly less information than anyone else in the game. Everyone else knows their own alignment and also knows that storyteller is Town, but storyteller himself only knows his own alignment.
And, of course, at least one player knows a lot more than storyteller, but that player probably isn’t going to be too helpful.
All that said, though, at LyLo, it really does make sense for Town to all follow the Mason. If Town is split, then Scum can switch at the last moment to force a mislynch and win the game, so Town absolutely must not be split at LyLo. And the easiest way to ensure that is for everyone to follow the Mason. The catch, of course, is that we don’t know if we actually are at LyLo or not.
Concur completely. OAOW’s suggestion is wrong, lazy, and possibly scummy.
otay.
hey, red let’s tell 'em they get a penalty vote if they don’t play poker on thursday.
I should give you a penalty vote for winning last week.
It’s true that they are weaker, but the cool thing is that they are way more skill-intensive. It takes some work to figure out what your results mean.
Where it gets really interesting is in something like Pleonast’s Munchkin ruleset: In that game, everyone had a Watching power, in addition to other powers which could be used on other players (some beneficial, some harmful). So you’d have “I saw you take a nonmagical action targeting Bob. I think you were stealing from him.” “No, I was just using my own watching power on him, and saw him do something to Joe.”
The relative power of a single watcher scales in proportion to the number of other night actors. They can be as powerful as a doctor since they are a significant deterrent to NK’s on claimed power roles.
Possibly more so, based on what happens in the unclaimed situation. In most cases, it’s better to learn the identity of one Scum (if the watcher does happen to watch the victim) than it is to prevent one Night-kill (if the doctor happens to protect the victim). Plus he can sometimes help verify other power-role claims.
And ‘the beams’ cross even more.
Duck in a Dungeon Munchkin, Lollipop Guild Munchkin, or Donut Hole Munchkin?
If it was one of those three then it is the first (by elimination). I know it is not the last two.
Story just needs to place his vote already at this point, especially if he’s planning on voting for someone besides OaOW.
what does happen if there is a tie vote? i’m sure the answer is somewhere but i’m too lazy to bother looking for it.
I’ll PM you and and Red right now.

Interesting… for those of you following at home at T minus half an hour, neither Chipacabra nor Inner Stickler are currently logged on; if story votes for Guiri, it will likely create a tie.
Yep, I just broke out the popcorn here. I have no idea what a tie will do and no idea what Storyteller will do.
all i know is that if they pull a ragnorak Day 4 end of Day shuffle, red is in charge of that nonsense.
What was ragnarok end of day 4?
