I won’t be in this game, but during those lonely nights aboard a ship I came up with a chart (adjusted so that it should match the current state of the game). Blaster Master seemed okay with my posting it, so I’m hoping it’s correct.
Here’s a shorthand chart for those of you trying to find something to believe in.
Role Alignment Investigates as Can convert Wins with Special Knows Is Known By
Believer Town Believer Y Town
Priest Town Priest N Town Bless Disciple
Disciple Town Disciple N Town Bless Priest
Oracle Town Oracle Y Town Investigate Apprentice
Apprentice Town Apprentice Y Town Investigate Oracle
Monk Town Monk N Town other Monks other Monks
Crusader Town Crusader Y Self Kills
Alchemist Town Non-believer Y Town, NB Blocker
Non-believer Town Non-believer Y Town, NB
Psychopath Self Psychopath Y Self (UNAWARE)
Cultist Cult Non-believer N/A Cult other Cult other Cult
Prophet Cult Believer N/A Cult Conversion Cult Cult
Avatar Cult Avatar N/A Cult Vengeance UNAWARE
Any special role that gets converted loses its powers.
The ‘Psychopath’ listing is for the activated Psychopath; unactivated it is identical to Non-believer.
See full description of roles for win conditions and special powers.
Thanks, I think it will help clear up some of the rules. The only part that is a little confusing about that are the special win conditions for the Crusader and Psychopath, in that others do win with them, but they can only win with those special conditions. That is, the Believers still win if the Crusader wins (hey, the Cult is gone, and they’re not out-numbered, right?); similarly, the Non-Believers still win if the Psychopath wins (he’s only after the people with “crazy beliefs”). Here’s the slightly updated version of the chart:

I think there’s a double crazy somewhere in there. Wouldn’t someone wanting to off people with crazy beliefs be well, perhaps not sane, but psychopath seems so… mean.
Why is the crusader, who kills in the name of his god, a crusader, but a non-believer who kills for his athiest beliefs is a psychopath? Athiest rights! Down with religious-bias.
Ooooh, look, that water seems really shiny and wet.
I think George Carlin hit the basic idea here. I’m pretty sure it went something like this: “Israeli Commandos are called Freedom Fighters. Arab Commandos are called Terrorists.”
Actually, I just couldn’t come up with a better name, so I went with a traditional one. I would have gone with Serial Killer, but that implies a different kind of crazy (i.e., Hannibal Lecter).
Well, except at the end when you wolfed out and tore him limb from limb. That might have been considered a fight. A remarkably one-sided one, but a fight nonetheless.
That reminds me, before the game gets started, anyone want to guess at what the secret role is? Will it be something great and grand(like a second Avatar, this one of Nairu), with powers beyond those of mortal man? Or will it be something interesting, but unoriginal, like a “Gun Nut/Army Veteran”(who takes out anyone who tries to kill them at night in a mutually assured destruction fashion). A “redeemer” who can convert cultists to townies? Or undo convertsion? A Pope, who is allowed to ask one question of the moderator and then post “Ex Cathedra”(infallibally) about that topic? Will it be on the side of the cultists, or the town? Or will it be a Madelyn Murry O’Hare type, who can banish the otherworldly powers for a time(negating investigations, prayer-based saves, ritual sacrifices, conversions, etc.)? The possibilities are endless.
Also, I received a PM from MadTheSwine. Please confirm your request to play. That should leave ONE open spot. Once everyone has confirmed, I will assign roles and begin sending out role PMs.
I will be leaving for a concert presently (Hurray for Virgin Black!), so PMs will either be late tonight or tomorrow morning.
Even if all of the spots are filled, please do sign up, I will be keeping a sub list and I expect at least a few of them will be used.
Hey! That attitude is reserved for ME! C’mon, I had to talk Cookies into unvoting me in the last Day of M3…
(as long as I have someone backing me up, of course)
