Timezone headaches aside I think a race like that would be kinda weird in a game that's generally more about strategy and deduction.
Both teams picking the same person gives me another idea though: what if both teams submitted a list of some size and one of the players included in both dies? There would be some chance of there being no kill by accident, but that can be balanced out by giving town less protective powers

Heh, just yesterday I ended up explaining the ponies (and forum mafia) to someone on Discord, because an off-hand reference to "you must not harm ratammer" resulted in the forum being linked.

madge wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2023 5:39 am then why boomfrog and not boompony

i do like that the AI thought that a pony named boomfrog should be a guitar-playing scoundrel, i about died (that was only one of the three or four it generated but it was by far the best)

We are all ponies. It would be a little silly to put pony in your name. I do also love the roguishness of this avatar though.

Don't want to post in the PYP game thread, but the fontipony and the krakenpony are amazing

A LaserGuy in this playerlist would be the cherry on top.

Also noting that Sabrar and Swiss have been online without posting.

Edit: Nevermind, I completely missed there was a page 1 lmao

I'm sad AdumbroDeus isn't a potential player, this could have been an even more epic player list. Also sad I'm not mafia since it would be fun to show off for Adum and to dunk on Fonti.

On a different note, this is going to be a really easy game. Mak and wam are already confirmed town.

pyp boom may read

As I mentioned in thread I have really bad choice paralysis, otherwise I'd have loved to play. I just didn't think I understood pyp balance dynamics enough to contribute to the initial discussion and it was important enough that I was completely unwilling to RNG it or anything.

And I decided better to he helping out than just being a potential replacement because there's no guarantee it will happen and from experience a comod is useful.

Sorry!

I actually fully agree with Swiss on janitor, it's a BS role that makes the game less fun.

However this is Seven's setup, not mine or EGW's, we're running it so Seven can play, and while we could've messed with it, messing with PYP roles is a tricky thing and I didn't want to suggest it without the advice of probably either Sabrar or Seven.

But I feel like saying that publicly might interfere with the game, because it could create interactions with Seven that wouldn't otherwise happen.

Thank you so much for that mountain of pressure. I am town and w. doc, which means if I pick scum to protect I die. I guess what he means is it's a quasi-cop with the downside that I don't get to say who I found if I pick scum. The traditional way to sotto voce indicate results is by shading my reads I believe. We'll see how far I get.

Not usually a fan of PYP style setups, but this game has been pretty interesting so far. Very strong lineup. Will consider replacing in if it becomes needed later.

I will be eternally disappointed that I don't get to see a profile of myself like that from Seven.

town!me would be hard sulking about the fact that there is noone to talk to and that several topics are banned, killing the discussion.

No, this totally isn't because last game I almost spoiled myself when trying to quote somebody to ping them on this thread when trying to explain the exact same thing, why do you ask? :p
