If you’re playing in the game: STAY OUT. Since players can come back to life, I ask recently killed players to stay out of here until I confirm their final demise. Be careful about revealing important information in any case. And since some dead players can still participate, they’ll have to stay out until the game is over.
Everyone else, feel free to speculate. There’ll be lots of false claims and other potential treacheries, so observation should be fun.
Posting to Subscribe… this game was too complicated for my simpleton brain to grasp, but I may be available for subbing if necessary, so let’s keep the information to the minimum here.
It’s Night so nothing interesting is likly to happen for a little while. But who knows, major points of discussion in the Firefly game were generated by people’s behaviors durring the first Night.
Anyone other than USC and myself watching this thing?
Well, I’m watching. In the same sense a referee watches a game.
So far, it’s been rather calm. Do you think Dopers are now experienced enough at these games to avoid the raving accusations? Or, since everyone is a “power” role, will everyone try to lay low?
That is actually what I am most interested to see. With no vanilla town, and with everyone knowing there is no vanilla town, I am wondering if the “traditional” style of game play, as we have come to know it here, will change.
I think the game won’t work if everyone tries to lay low. Laid back playing and “flying under the radar” will hand the game to the scum, because the town will never get any information. So eventually that tendency will break. But my prediction is that we will have a period of more relaxed and quiet play as everyone tries to feel out what is going on.
Idle is on the right track, I think. They’re just going to badger people into role claims day 1 anyway. A mass claim, investigators be damned, seems the way to go. I could be wrong though…
Pleonast has mentioned several times that not all roles will be used in the game. All the scum has to do is wait until all the townies have claimed and then either claim Freemason or one of the unused roles. Then the town is fucked.
Looks like the players are starting to parse the rules carefully. I’ve had several PMs with questions, two general enough to put the answer in the game thread. I’m archiving all PMs on the secret site, so it’ll be possible to see everything at the end of the game.
Question, I have seen this acronym: BUTTVAASTIAST
a couple of times at this point, but somehow missed the original non-acronym version of the phrase. What does it mean?
Interesting about Dio voting in red, not once but twice (once unsuccesfully). I know he knows what the vote colors are because they are the same as in Firefly (where he has voted and unvoted numerous times.) I wonder what it might mean. I don’t think it is an accident.
Wow, Day 1 was exciting! I thought that Rysto’s no lynch movement might have picked up enough steam to work. Shame that the boards going down put a crimp in the towns plans. Maybe they will plan better next time.
Well, too bad for One and Only Wanderers. Lynchees cannot come back from the dead, but it’s better if he doesn’t say much here until his Role is revealed to the Town.
I got to say my early ruling about board outages was rather prescient.
