    If Ahava is the actual seer, I'd be shocked.

    I know the village is skittish about fake seer calls from last game, but that sort of thing happens once every couple of years.

    This is the first day she's played isn't it? Or did she join day 2?

    Talk about really getting screwed with our seer being inactive for the first two nights.

    Sheesh. This is why I don't like the @ thing for getting people to sign up. Better to have 20 who are committed than any more who aren't.

    If you're willing to create a more exclusive list of people who are 100% committed to playing games they sign up for, I'd like to sign up for it. Simple fact is Phalla is pretty much the only reason I go to CF, and I appreciate being batsignaled when I forget to do my "Is there a Phalla" check.

    There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

    It's a line from Grease (the movie, I dunno if it's in the play).

    For us it's primarily "can we trust the host".

    Which no. You should never trust the host. Hosts are wicked creatures. Full of vile ways.

    Well yeah, the two big things I feel like I contributed are both based on the assumption that 38thDoe wouldn't give someone a power that is completely nonfunctional and that he wouldn't exploit apophenia to fuck with us by having three stoned people each have a different material for their statue, then a fourth that repeats the first.

    Edit: pareidolia, apophenia, I can never keep them straight.

    Day Four: Now see my True Form… PLEASE?

    Gizzy smiled as they approached him. “You don’t know who you are dealing with! I am The Blighted Despot, Scarmiglione—Archfiend of earth, and first of Golbez's circle of four! and death will only make me stronger!”

    “What if we just tie you up?”

    “... CURSES!”

    ***


    King Giott and his tank brigade decided the time was ripe to recruit some supernatural help. They drove right to the feymarch and asked for a meeting with the Leviathian himself. Negotiations began and it seemed like an agreement was reached, when the red wings arrived and sealed MrTLicious and Raiden333 in a cave.

    ***


    Auralynx lamented that he could not find someone to save him from the poison coursing through his body. The Dwarf Tankmaster finally succumbed to the poison.

    ***


    This is a well-crafted basalt statue of chamberlain.
    The item is a well-designed image of chamberlain the ???
    The chamberlain is holding a dolomite floodgate.

    One thing to keep in mind is that every game goes different. So while things just happened a certain way last game, a new game will completely change. You could run the exact same game with the exact roles and rules and just change one or two players and the gang will be different.

    A fake seer reveal was disastrous last game. To try another one this soon would be ballsy. Unless it's not fake. Or the player making the reveal didn't know about the last game. Or. Or. Or.

    The overall meta of the game/players is a thing to keep in mind. But it's not always relevant.

    Well, I guess he will just mess with us regarding the statue minerals. Oh well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

    Edit: that was supposed to be a link to the song by the Darkness, but there doesn't seem to be an official video (ala Vevo) and I'm not sure what the forums' policy is about linking to fan-uploaded album cuts on YouTube.

    Looking at the vote records, the one that stands out to me most of all is Martoss.

    One off on day 1, followed by being on the bandwagon days 2 and 3.

    Honestly, this isn't much and I don't feel great about it, but I want to at least start some discussion so we're not all waiting around for the network.

    I agree that it's much too quiet. I helped push DemonIzual at a time when chamberlain was still at risk, and maybe that doesn't prove I'm a villager, but surely it helps?

    It seems like they've slowed down. I bet we had a villager stoner like McKid or someone else who's died by now.

    That's my first thought, but given Chamber claims Monster status, could the monsters have a compete objective and they are doing it to each other?

    Oddity was that it was 2 statues a day until Day 3, when there wasn't a statue created, then last night a new one appeared. Could one of the inactives from that day be at fault?

    Actually, just like a vig, it's better for the village to "shoot blindly" in almost all situations. A village vig at least has a chance at hitting mafia, but if only the mafia have kills then they definitely will hit village :P
