HoH 6: Day 1
 

Most of you are just normal heroes, doing normal heroic stuff. You know, saving lives….trying not to look like idiots in your daily life, basic hero stuff. Kind of out of nowhere, though, you woke up and found that you were in a hotel bedroom. Not a super nice one, just a fairly average room. A few of you even noticed some strange buttons over by the door, but there was a little “out of order” sign by them, so who knows what those do(did?)?

There is also a little speaker on the ceiling, not something you often see in hotels, but then again you usually check in to hotels, not just wake up in them. I mean, the speaker is weird, but kind of a minor moment all things considered.

:crackle:

From the speaker comes a voice. “People like you make me sick. I mean, why do you even do what you do? Wait. Is this mic on? Uh, hey folks, ‘welcome’ to the hotel of heroes. Hope your bed was adequate. Come on down to the lobby, get to know one another, but you should know….not all of you are heroes. Some of you, no shock, are villains. Even worse, some of you are movie producers, perhaps the worst thing to ever happen to heroes like you. Why don’t you come on down and decide which one of you gets kicked out of here? Like, you pick and we kill them and they leave.”

You exit your room, which was actually locked until now, and head down to the lobby. Clearly the nicest part of the hotel, it has a lovely table with a large spread of food, including a gorgeous veggie try with dip(less said about the dip the better, to be honest).

:crackle:

“Ok, so go ahead. Eat, greet, meet, pick one of you to get rid of. Oh, and as always, you have to try the dip. Like, I’ll be offended if you don’t.”

Welcome to Hotel of Heroes 6. There is one eviction today and today will be a little bit longer so we can get everyone in and situated. Roles will be going out randomly and whenever I get a chance.

When you are evicted, please feel free to let us know who you really were. There is no consequence for us learning during the game, the “masks” are just for fun and to give us a chance to play a bit more blind than normal.

Day 1 ends next week, I’ll give you some advance notice. Oh, Pleonast, if you are out there, it is “one active vote at a time”. I don’t always list it in my rules just to bother you, but it is the rule.

The Vote Counter is here. Please use it. Check your spelling and use the correct spelling if at all possible.

Day 1 will end Friday, August 13, at 8PM Eastern USA.

Here is a countdown clock until that time.

@Don Quixote, I could not send a role PM to you. It said you have chosen not to receive PM's, so please fix that and I can send you a role.

Everyone else should have your role. Have fun!

The game's afoot!!

PM received.

Sherlock, did you try the dip?

I have no clue. Maybe I need more posts?

like this

and this

I dunno. I got my 10 posts but still no PMs. My control panel doesn't say anything about PMs at all, and the notifications menu doesn't list PMs as a possible thing one could have.

Oh, there they are. I guess I just needed to go to 11! PM away.

A Space Ranger like me can’t try the dip. It might corrode my power cells (again)

I've never been a big fan of dip, but I guess I'll try it.

*tastes dip*

BLECH! Still not a fan. :yuk:

I believe I have deduced some of the ingredients of the dip. So, no.

There are many Суеверия in my country . I will not be trying the dip.

дурное предчувствие
The game post number and my post count above!

I am a cartoon character. I will definitely not try the Dip.

So, 13 Town, 3 Villains, 3 Producers. Each Scum team gets a NK, plus there's a Vig. And then Town may get extra "wraps" toMorrow. Sounds like a... Fast Game! :driveby:

Confirming Role PM Received.

I'm currently mobile and on my lunch.

However. By way of introduction, this.

And Yes, I will take questions later, based on the following, if and when the need arises. And, perhaps less than obviously, I'll supply my own questions as well.

Oh. Dip?

Wait. This going to be just like that time I tried on that dog flea collar, innit?

I mean, the high from licking it was amazing!

Took weeks to get it off my neck though...

Got it.

You are a toy.

I'm here...who ordered the extra-large pepperoni and smoked oyster?




We all know Doctor Watson was really the brains of the outfit.

You are a sad, strange little man

Hi friends it’s a pleasure to be here today. Today I got my password issues worked out. It was great.

I didn't get a Role PM. I suspect you misspelled my user_name?

Mine was the Pineapple and Anchovy.....

[]Sherlock Holmes[]

:haw:

Ok, no but seriously, what's all this about then?

I can get behind this.

Well, I like the dip. Makes a nice change from folks trying to kill me all the time.

:):wow::eek::astonished::ohdear:

Is all that I would do, if I could formulate an entire post using just emoji. But, this is more of the same, and so, I'll offer more of the same.

What's all of this, this, then?

I don’t know most of you, but I feel obligated to not vote for Ladybug today. We insect-themed, Asian superheroes need to stick together!

Actually find this the most suspicious "move" yet.

You are not one of those Communists, are you?

Likely no by most definitions since my primary motivation is to protect the Russian land against foreign invaders, especially the Tatars.

And since I am currently in this land I must protect against the Scum gaining power here.
YMMV

Bicycle menacing Communists? Kill the dirty Red Scum! I hate them! Arrgh!

We have 13 heroes 3 with power roles - no tracker/watcher to see Scum moving though.
The Cop could find a Scum but with 2 godfathers they can't trust results.
Doc is at randoms mercy too.
The Vig as well.

6 Scum but it is 3/3 so they want to find and destroy each other .
They have Docs so protecting their own is likely ( a given really).

We can hope that Scum beat each other up but we can’t count on it.

More thoughts after a sleepI think

Morning all, PM received. Not sure what all the fuss about the dip is, seems OK to me.

Mantis, you could probably find a reason to snuggle up to any player, aren’t I like your favorite snack?

I’ve never played with this extra lynch mechanism, especially with the low % threshold, and based on town deaths alone. In the event of a D1 mislynch and two town deaths N1, we’d be down to 10 with 6 scum, having 6 votes on the second vote-getter looks like something we’d want to actively avoid unless we have a lock or result.

It pays to pay attention to EOD vote counts and with GFs we need to be paying cautious attention to results as well

Morning all! I may not be super active this weekend, but I am here and present, PM recieved.

A reason maybe, three reasons is exceptional. A ladybug is voracious as a mantis.

Pardon my while I pour some wine.

At first glance, and at face value, not too much here.

We have a "PM received" that is also couched with a variation on "Good Morning" So, if we go deeper than face value, we can pair these up as someone trying to buy time and stall. An effort to get us all to cycle down and spin wheels. I am not X Y or Z in this game, why I am just now arriving, and playing ... you can ignore everything before this post! ... and I wish that you would! This is only further cemented by the entire " dip " story line, which I think is fishing or stretching for more fluff over the fact that we have an open snuggle on the board. To that point....


Mantis, you could probably find a reason to snuggle up to any player, aren’t I like your favorite snack?

I think this is a line in the sand, the first part about Mornings and Dip was the clean up crew, and "" Don't Snuggle Me! "" is the start of the apparatus installation to get us to look elsewhere. If the VERY EARLY snuggling by Mantis towards Ladybug stuck out in this game at a right angle, This then here [The entire, "why snuggle me?"] is the compliment to that right angle, the furthest out corner. The damage control is the most here, and .... having done that damage control, Ladybug can come on back home......

""Hey Town, you all should be careful with your mislynching""

This just comes off, to me, as something that Scum with most definitely do. "Don't Lynch me, even though I'm scum, .... cause mislynches exist, regardless of my flip"

In summary ::

1. Let me cover the fact that, while I am already ""playing"" this game, I have yet to post. If I can start a post here, and add in allowable fluff (Dip) I can hopefully make myself a smaller target as far as (in relative terms) my lurking has gone. No, I have been playing this game, off board [[ That is, inside my head / mentally ]] and now I need to actually post something, to start damage control incurred by the snuggle.

2. Hey there, less experienced Scum player, [[Yeah, I just went there.]] slow your role, you nearly blew it here. Let me fix it, and give us both cover, at the same time.

3. There are no scums to see here.


So.

Yeah.

Let's place hold here.

Fair point Mantis, but I’ll be watching my back just in case :)

Only two players left to check-in.

More rules and roles stuff…
“4. If one Town, one Producer, and one Villain remain, the Day phase is skipped with a No eviction.” - why would this be the case? Just to save time or is there some reason why the remaining townie gets no chance?

“4th eviction - We’ll deal with that if it happens.” - how could there be 4 town deaths in a single night? Producer NK, Villain NK, vig misfire, and ? I guess these are generic rules.

“When all threats to Town are destroyed.”
I wonder if a misfiring vig is consider a threat to town!

I started reading the original version of this game, same setup, different color. There’s discussion of “cop cover”, it’s been a while since I played but wouldn’t the drawbacks be resolved by simply stating your leans, without pretending it’s an actual cop claim?

And on preview I see I have a vote, nice, especially the “place hold”!

Actually it is the only way Town has a chance.

Nice to see you again Mendie. No FOS or placeholder vote on Mantis?

I think I see what you mean… if one of the scum is lynched, and one town and one scum go into the Night, Town loses, while if the Day phase is skipped, scum might cross-kill, giving Town the win.

Right.

LOL?

That's racist.

Producers must eliminate 16
Villains must eliminate 16

Town must eliminate 6 ( and the teams above want to help us partially)

currently All 3 factions can kill and protect plus Town has a Cop-

Doesn't seem as daunting when I look at it that way.

Why don't you like this vote?

Well, I only have one tool I have at my disposal...so I figured I might as well use it.

And i couldn't think of a better case to make against anyone at this point in the game...can you?

Why do you think that was the intent?
