The people emerged from their houses after a very long night. No one had really gotten any sleep, there was screaming coming from below the streets. The Cop and The Sheriff had all spent the entire night trying to find a way to reach the source of the screams, but were unsuccessful. They gave up and got some breakfast around 4 a.m. When they'd finished eating they started to head home... but they noticed a crowd gathered around a tree. It was Helius.

Game 43: Day 1

Welcome to Merryville!

There is a typo in the spoiler tag referring to the time limit. Please do not continue to talk in this thread once the round has ended, whether I have locked the thread or not.

Another mistake was made in a copy-paste from the host thread into this thread. Player number 11 is not me, it is Knuckles.

Also, in case you aren't aware, the Godfather appears innocent to the Cop.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

Yellow has apparently been stabbed in the hand. He is it is too much effort to type, but says he will be able to rejoin in 5 in real life days. I don't really know what to do about this situation, so I'd like to hear what you all think.

June 21, 2016

Ghowilo

He says* it is too much effort to type*

I'm sorry for the multi-posting.

One more thing of clarification. The round ends June 22nd at 12 A.M. Eastern Time.

June 21, 2016

Edit

Ghowilo

@Ghowilo, leave him in the game. Given a day round normally takes like 2ish days and then a night round 1 day he's likely only to miss two rounds.

I have a lot of hours this week but I'll do my best to remain active. My only two days off are Tuesday and Thursday. haha.

Anyway, HAI GUYS.

June 21, 2016

Edit

Castrael

Looks like a pretty unique and potentially swingy setup. Although...unless I'm missing something, there's only one vanilla Townie this game?

June 21, 2016

Edit

white lancer

Correct lancer. Ghowilo, I'm wondering if there's a limit on how often the Cult man can recruit someone, like once a night or something? If so a role reveal would still be pretty useful... If not then it would mean nearly automatic win for the Cult :P

June 21, 2016

Edit

White Thunder

there is no limit to how frequently the cult can recruit, and there is only one Townie. The cult must guess a players role correctly to recruit though.

I think this was part of Knuckles balancing scheme. Give almost everyone a role, but make it a bad idea for them to reveal.

June 21, 2016

Edit

Ghowilo

If not then it would mean nearly automatic win for the Cult :P

This is just one reason and there are a lot more, that the Cult Role was suspended and should have stayed that way.

June 21, 2016

Edit

chiefsonny

that the Cult Role was suspended and should have stayed that way.

Was it okay'd by FAW and hezekiah? I actually thought that the Cult role was suspended too, but then again I don't think the roles document has been updated in such a long time.

June 21, 2016

Edit

Castrael

The role-guessing is not a standard cult variation. It was discussed and if I recall correctly no one had much of an issue with it.

June 21, 2016

Edit

Ghowilo

This is just one reason and there are a lot more, that the Cult Role was suspended and should have stayed that way.

The role-guessing seemed like a fair way to bring it back. Plus it needs experimentation anyway.

Hm. Well day 1 is always slow.

June 21, 2016

Edit

KnokkelMillennium

Yeah, I don't have much of a problem with the current variation of the Cult. It does seem like a good way to discourage a mass roleclaim by the Town this game.

Before, the Cult was a problem because they automatically recruited someone every single night (unless the target they chose was also Nightkilled). Now, it's not a guarantee they even grow past one.

June 21, 2016

Edit

white lancer

Slow figuratively but not literally. Round ends in just over 3 hours!

June 22, 2016

Edit

hezekiah

Um, correct me if I am wrong, but if there is no limit on the cult leader's guesses, can't they just make a mass of posts right now with everyy possible combo of player and role, and automatically win the game?

That's one of the reasons why I stopped playing, but I'm willing to give it a go again.

Wait, the round is already ending? Where is everybody?! This is another reason I stopped playing too. v.v

June 22, 2016

Edit

Castrael

Aurelian the cult can only choose one person per night.

Castrael I should have said it will end on the 23rd. It's not ending tonight that was my mistake.

June 22, 2016

Ghowlio: Ah, okay. Sorry about that.

It was my mistake. I apologize.

Ghowilo replied: there is no limit to how frequently the cult can recruit...

Your answer to Thunder's innitial question is the exact opposite to your answer to mine. A host needs to be consistant, and not change the rules halfway through the game.

Aurelian

Fire Lion

Thunder Lion

Feral, I'm pretty sure that he meant that there is no limit overall since he already clarified that there is a limit to how much the cult can recruit a night.

Basically, cult only gets to guess once a night. Thus they can only potentially recruit once a night.

June 22, 2016

Edit

KnokkelMillennium

Feral, the first time when he asked if they could guess once a night I and I said there is no limit, I was merely saying that the cult is able to post nightly, and that there is no reason for them to have to skip a night. I was referring to the frequency of guessing a name.

When I replied to you I was talking about how many people could be voted for in a single night. I did not view it as the same question as the one initially posed.

Does Merryville have a bar?

I need a drink.

June 22, 2016

Edit

chiefsonny

I hope so.

June 22, 2016

white lancer

I don't drink, but I could definatly use a stress reliever.

Ghow and Knuckles, I really did misunderstand that cult leader stuff. Sorry about that.

Well it looks like Day One in this game is going to be like Day One in past games.

Is anyone really surprised by that, though?

12 hours at work is 3 too many...

Please submit your night actions before June 24th 12 a.m. E.T.

Ghowilo

The town gathered back around where they had found Helius. They talked among themselves in mourning wondering who it could have been who did such a thing. They weren't able to figure anything out though and went their separate ways. The crazy man could be seen off to the distance talking to some homeless people around a garbage can fire.
