also, the previous two games had 9 players? I thought it was 7. oops

Waa it 7
I'm probably wrong on that

I'm sure SunFan is viewing this with all the math in his head right now dying inside but I'll give the layman's answer and say yeah, we have more phases

Keep in mind there is very little chance we can all agree/get the initial engagement needed to insta d1, or even d2 for that matter. Even with a vigi kill, I don't think this is going to be a quick game

Did you....ask for a fact checker to see if 11 is a higher number then 9?

nonono, I just wasn't sure if more players = more attempts necessarily, since there are more wolves as well (not to mention the special roles that occasionally result in someone getting booted)

Arp! Awfully town. It doesn't matter if not town, he tried. I like that. Thanks for trying!

tried what? is that a good thing?

(also, they/them please! thanks <3)

Tired, didn't sleep super well, car is still in shop and it's aggravating

awh :c

What do you think of Haku's plan?

not sure!

there could be some merit to waiting until the second or third day to instalynch, but like you said earlier, it's hard to gauge player intentions without the vote. I'm also kinda paranoid about millium getting voted out immediately, but the probability of that happening is slim enough that I'd personally be okay with voting, at least for now

there are also 11 people, which is considerably more than in previous games where we were willing to vote on the first day. that might give us an extra attempt or two? iunno, someone can fact check me there

XelNya wolf. Too comfy, anime gifs, I'm sensing more confidence than nihilism. Clearly this can only mean one thing. Also, he talked about me. Paranoia peak.

Arp, talk to me

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

I prodded Arp because I knew based on pregame I could and they'd play my file as intended. We got more from it than that, or at least I did, but you can interpret that for yourself.

so what you're saying is I got played twice in two games

and it's still the first day of the second game

wowzers

(OOC)

Heads up everyone!

I'm heading out for the day to attend my nephew's birthday. I will likely be back tonight, but in the meantime, Sunfan will be large and in charge. Should anything requiring host involvement happen, he will be taking care of that.

Have fun!

Damn autocorrect really janking up my style

Re: TWG 208: The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (side-episode) [GAME THREAD]

I think my issue with this plan is that you can't find any prioritize townies when you have no way to variety, or even test, their sincerity. The daily vote is the tried-and-true way to do so

I understand the Merlin is in the game and that's scary but it seems that your plan around this is to just have everyone try to "find" town doing the day with no real way to do so and then try to resolve everything doing night phases, in which the Merlin is still in danger like before and the only real difference is that we've lost agency as town to find each other easier.

It sucks that we could insta one player and just flat out lose but the solve is that the player that rolled that role will just have to play optimally and hope friendly PRs find/protect them. The solve can't be to play less of the game
