Masks at Midnight - Night 0

[Red Skeezix]

It was a crisp autumn night in Dunwich, MA. The townsfolk had gathered at the local parish for for a meeting to discuss preparations for the upcoming halloween and harvest dance. The sign-in sheet indicated that:

1. Meeko
2. Mahaloth
3. guiri
4. Colby11
5. Bashorian Clement
6. Bicycle Repair Man
7. TexCat
8. raventhief
9. Pleonast
10. Mordenkainen
11. Lightfoot

Were present that evening.

The wind began to howl, and rotten branches of an old oak tree banged against the roof of the weathered chapel. With a crack, the lights flickered and then went out. Thus began the first night of the rest of their very short lives.



It is now night zero. PMs are going out presently. If you have a night action please send it to me upon receipt of your PM. Otherwise, you may begin strategizing and Day 1 will begin at 8pm ET on October 12th, 2022.

[Red Skeezix]

All PMs have gone out, feel free to confirm receipt here or start it up.

[Meeko]

Lock and load.

Confirming.

[LightFoot]

I am not sure how this is going to work- but I can confirm - my existence

[Bashorian Clement]

Could there be multiples of the same role?

we have 17 possible Town roles
11 total players
I started trying to breakdown the role meanings and decided it is folly

Scum possible 5 roles same.

If there is claiming maybe there can be POE logic

Correction. October 12th. Whoops.

[TexCat]

PM received. I've got a role and am ready to play.

[Pleonast]

Chew on this, scumbos: I’m a Private Eye.

[Pleonast]

And I’m going to only vote players who haven’t made a specific claim.

What if they all claim?

Who is this they you speak of?

[Pleonast]

Death doesn’t reveal anything, but dead players have a vote and can still provide information. That radically changes the decision between claiming and not claiming.

I don’t expect everyone to claim while alive, so they can claim when dead. Let’s speed up that process.

For as famous [Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye 007, Killer Instinct, Battletoads, Wizards and Warriors] and infamous [Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beetlejuice, Silent Service] as video game company Rare [Rareware] was, I claim that the music they made was a thousand times better, and yes, they should have been in the record industry, exclusively.

Donkey Kong Country 2 was my jam growing up… finally beat the entire thing too after several months (when I was 12-ish)

Serious question- pizza or bread?

PM received

yes

[guiri]

Confirming receipt of PM!

[guiri]

I’m not opposed to making specific claims, but each player can decide when the time is right.

[Meeko]

1. I can't vote at night. No one can. Silly Meeko!

2. Completely forgot about the entire nominating thing.




But seriously. Pleonast, The fact that voting has a detour for this game, were you aware of this detour in the voting vis a vis nominations, as you posted for your claims?

[Pleonast]

Yes, I've been trying to understand the rules. Note my comment in the sign-up thread.

I assumed you were intentionally making an uncounted vote, like I often do.

Day 1 has started. Thread is up.
