Also, since my game is more TWG than jTWG, would the game number be 74 (according the the TWG history thread) or whichever the recent one is in the FFYa forum?
Fic's game is something I've always wanted to play without even knowing it.
One question, Fic, all players know what there role is, right? But does the players partner know what the role is?
Players get a new role every day phase. The people who enable their roles do not know what the role is. Roles can be activated without any sort of consent or communication but I expect players to contact others to get their roles activated. Players who activate would expect to be contacted so they know not to activate dangerous roles like vigilantes or seerings (if you're a wolf).
There are Active and passive roles, though. Active roles require activation AND a night phase PM. Seers, vigis and guards are examples of this. Passive roles are things like psychics.
For example, you send me a PM telling me that I activate roles for you. You also tell me you got a seer role. I tell you, hey man no problem I got your back. I could send the PM to the host and be like yeah activate zoshi's role. I could not. You won't receive confirmation. But if you want to use your role you then need to send the host a PM saying who your seer target is.
Passive roles don't require PMs from anyone but the player who activates. Psychics don't require sending PMs to get results. There are other roles like this.
I think the issue is semantic. I talk about partners when partnerships aren't symmetric. They're really hierarchical relationships where one has authoritative power over the other.
Every action in this game has a consequence that someone is informed about. Every action in this game has a consequence that someone can be held accountable for, wrongfully or otherwise.
I found it to make perfect sense actually but not really something I would delve into without a bit more experience imho, then again I'm not much of a pro at this so who knows
I reallly reallly don't want to sound ignorant because I have read the posts but I'm still confused with the whole partnership being in control of partners thing.
