Do you want to see the setup?

Here's all the roles, players, and alignments:

I PMed it to Sabrar asking him to provide commentary on how atrocious it is, but I think he walked away in disgust, as he should have.

It was really fun to just go completely unhinged with it. I don't know if it'll be a good game or not, I think some of the roles are probably pretty rubbish.

In particular Wam's colonel o'neil role was originally really, really, really horrible and I actually edited his role PM to add the inventor at the last minute when I realised he had *literally no way to get his goal achieved*. I figured inventor is super universally powerful especially when you're allowed to invent your own stuff and I trust wam to invent fairly (his D1 invention is basically a colour cop OR colour parity cop, which seems balanced to me)

Also I was very, very happy to see it was Bessie who requested Hamlet - I loved Hamlet during my emo stage in year 12 and so I just put tons of quotes from my favourite sililoquies in that role PM.

The Worst for Jester anyone?

It comes as literally zero surprise that wam's vote on Madge counts in the votals (it's what I'd have tried in my opening post if someone else hadn't already).

What's more pizzazz than that? This game is very much "yes, and"

Holy hell I'm grinning ear to ear right now. My role is great, the rules are great, Madge threatening to end the day on a whim is great.

Sabrar was right to not play though.

Genuinely thought Mark was not a player judging from his first post and was just dropping in to mess with us.

Sabrar reckons BoomFrog's role is too powerful which is fair. They got power creep chronologically which I mostly accounted for BUT bf I was in a hurry

QUESTION: In the militant atheist wincon, I said "[if the mod is voted out] the day ends as if there's a no-elim". The worst's wincon gives them a win if there's a no-elim. I want to say that voting out the mod is not a no-elim, the spirit of that wincon is for people to choose no-elim.

Also, if they vote me out, day ends and hammer will be handled normally.

Got a funny idea planned, and am currently in discussions with Madge about it. If you're a spectator, please do not react outside of game spoilers or PM anyone about it, if you see me post in the game thread in any form...

Dammit jimbob, I was planning to do the same as a surprise...

Let the confusion reign! (Don't worry, it's only temporary).

I wonder who'll be the first to notice I'm posting in both threads?

You're having waaaay too much fun

This post is, of course, for paranoia sewing. After all, I'm clearly aware of you now, and if I'm giving you a spoiler to read, you mustn't be playing

Right?

so unless anything major happens between now and when i decide to end day tonight (in an hour or two idk, i'm gonna have a bath), i'm getting voted off and people are having proper deadlines and hammer votes, yay!!!!!!

SINCE NONE OF YOU SPECTATORS OFFERED ME ANY OPINIONS...

i've decided it doesn't count to "the worst's" win condition as it's not a no-elim, someone is getting eliminated. sorry, the worst.

Oh of course. I'm just curious what you're going to do if you get hammered yourself, and which player will get to win their Pizzazz win con as a result. Assuming you aren't scum of course...

Was the way the Day ended kinda a dick move? Maybe. But I think it was time. I'm not convinced people would have made a serious vote given another two days which was the option I had.

Let's see what happens overnight. SO MANY different roles to keep track of.

And three sets of neighbours:

Bessie/Boomfrog
Jimbob/Somi
Wam/The Worst

EDIT: I couldn't resist sending this PM as deadpan as I could manage:

I suppose for the benefit of those spectating and speculating, I should explain that I am a serial killer. This doesn't relate to anything I was doing on D1 in any way, but my goal is apparently to be the last man standing. I have an even(ish) night kill and a resurrection ability to help me with that goal.
I'm also in a neighbour chat with Jimbob.
The one actual thought I had about the game is that we might all be some flavour of indie, but I'm absolutely not 100% on this so I have be real careful with setup discussions.

Oops, literally just posted my whole game solve to the main thread instead of neighbor chat...

I trust Bessie, she's been far too easy going in neighbor chat, she could have pretended caginess if she was scum. Hope I'm right.
