Kill attempts with Mehrunes’ Razor will only be successful if the targeted player is wielding an Artifact. Any Artifacts in that player’s possession will pass into the possession of the Mafia team if, and only if, they are killed via Mehrunes’ Razor.

Did Mac say he saw everyone at the same shrine or is that just the assumption from his “I found the baddies” post? Because those are very different and neither is as condemning as it’s being played.

What is the source of this dumb fuckery?

Do you think it can or can never be wolf theatre?

I'm not trying to be fake being humble here when I say thank you kindly for thinking I'm this good at acting. I'm not capable of faking an argument with a teammate like this. idk what Kyle is, was confused about. idk why it was confusing that I think it's suss if it wasn't random. I slept, went back and reread and I am genuinely confused as to what he wants from me.

anyway I conclude that Kyle is maybe town here and made a jk list. he wanted to get someone(s) not on the list to make comments. he wanted someone(s) on the list to make comments too. and he was gonna get reads out of it.

and for some reason beyond me he got confusion from my post about it. which idk maybe because I didn't directly quoted him but quoted someone else and replied to that instead.

I'm not Kyle and I'm not scum parties with him so I can't ask him in scum chat about it.

last time i checked I'm fairly easy to read. Kyle is a confusion sandwich for me tho.

So.

LongCon is my top town read.

I do not find setup speculation sus, because the setup is obviously highly complicated. The mafia have the GIGANTIC advantage in that they are able to share multiple role cards and get a sense of the scope. For example they most likely came in knowing that some people had far more specific shrine info while others had a wider choice but less information, which town only knows now because of the spec.

That means that Scotty was uninformed, and I am gonna town read him. Alison also.

So I get three town reads off that and consider it a good thing.


Next thing, this game has an inordinate number of mafia claimers. This is annoying AF because at least one of them is probably telling the truth, but there is really no way to say which. Those towns participating in this need to get a grip. Sure, maybe you are an "oh they always meme claim mafia" townie. Maybe you genuinely don't know any other way to clear your slot. If so, get gud scrub. Because you give the wolves the opportunity to pile in behind you in a game this size when there are too many of you.

I am in favor of "all mafia claimers stop now, last one to quit gets chopped."



Next thing, Kyle's play was a little weird, but he is Kyle. The response to Kyle's weird play has been waaaaay more weird. The number of people who have said "that's wolfy," added to the number of people who not only said it but expounded on what was wolfy about it...just does not compute with there being ZERO votes on Kyle. Somewhere in there is at least one wolf, maybe even more than one, that are setting themselves up to be able to pile on a wagon because they are assuming that eventually one just has to take off there.

Not sure who the wolves are, but I am pretty sure Kyle is town.


I think that's all I have so far.

towny but everything about your logic is bad

Mehrunes’ Razor
Daedra: Mehrunes Dagon
Mafia: 5-shot nightkill item.
Five times during the game, the wielder of Mehrunes’ Razor can attempt a kill with the Artifact. This kill attempt is in addition to, and separate from, the Mafia team’s factional nightkill. A kill attempt with Mehrunes’ Razor is unblockable.
If the attempt is successful, the targeted player will die.
If the attempt is unsuccessful, nothing will happen and the shot will be spent.
Kill attempts with Mehrunes’ Razor will only be successful if the targeted player is wielding an Artifact. Any Artifacts in that player’s possession will pass into the possession of the Mafia team if, and only if, they are killed via Mehrunes’ Razor.
On the third unsuccessful attempt with Mehrunes’ Razor, it will pass into the possession of the last player targeted. In that player’s possession [SECRETS].
If Mehrunes’ Champion dies with multiple shots remaining on the Razor, it will remain in the possession of the Mafia team, with one additional shot expended. If Mehrunes’ Champion dies with one shot left on the razor, the Mafia team will retain the final shot.
Artifacts possessed by the Mafia team may be accessed by any member of the team during any phase. However, no player may access multiple Artifact abilities at the same time, and no Artifact may be accessed by multiple players at the same time.
In addition, the Mafia team gains access to special bonus abilities for each additional Artifact they possess. [SECRETS].

This seems unlikely from Sloonei's opening material posts, but no one is likely to be in a hurry to kill you, so sure...demonstrate.

One of us is misunderstanding the setup I think.

My reading is that each character accesses different powers from different shrines. So as an example. Altmer Noble may be able to access shrines A, B, C, D and E. Argonian Mage may be able to access shrines C, D, E, F and G. Both can access shrine C but they get different powers from accessing shrine C based on the flavor of C as well as their own character's flavor.

One of the powers I can access from a shrine is confirmable and I think pretty pro-town.

Wow never mind, it was in the first page. Someone else can see stuff.

Ok then, carrying on with my business.

My question still remains if, say for example, the Nords are wont to not worshipping daedra while those cat things worship Rum Tug Tugger

In Elder Scrolls lore I think Daedra worship is universal and sort of universally frowned on officially. There's a "state religion" and the Daedra worshipers are sort of like the tolerated pagans that haven't been successfully brought around. Daedra shrines aren't found in the best part of town, but they aren't exactly hidden. As far as I know there is no racial preferences towards any particular individual Daedra.

Scotty
Kylemii
Syn
and Qwags.

Oh, by the way, I am a dragon. Something about Aldi's (tm). Dragon wolf? Wolf dragon? Dragonwolf. Yeah, definitely Dragonwolf!

My power is that I choose a shrine to blast with my fiery breath and I kill EVERYONE there unless *secrets*. So, erhm... avoid Peryite's shrine tonight.

That is all.

Alison wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 7:57 pm Being uncomfortable with strong early reads is either scum nervous about how quick town are launching into solving or a site culture issue where they come from a community whose site meta is to dick around D1. However Scotty has experience with MacDougall and doesn't seem to be a first-time Syndicator so I am doubting the latter explanation.

Enrique wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 8:51 pm I disagree with Alison’s interpretation of the set-up (why make it the same shrine at all if they’re individually different to each of us?)

It seems fairly obvious to me from the way the OP is worded that there will be roles that do things like "protect everyone that visits a certain shrine" or "track someone who visited the same shrine as you".

Scotty wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 7:09 pm So every race has a pairing except for the Nords, which have a trio?

Don’t yet see the importance of knowing another player’s race, since alignments are randomized.

Someone more versed with skyrim might be able to draw conclusions of racial connections to daedra attunement? I haven’t found any as of yet.

But man...my character is butt ugly.
I can tell you that I probably pray to the ass-face god.

Timsup2nothin wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 7:21 pm So, historically this is where I make the one word post; "first" and then dip for several hours. I have always found that amusing, since I am never actually first. However, I have been putting off a change in playstyle for several games due to an unfortunate series of rands and the opportunity has finally arrived. No one word humor driven first post. No threadsitting fluff posting. No obnoxiously refusing to give reads. I'm just here to town it up and if the wolves NK me for it that's fine.

I wanted to do this in GoC but that vig rand; I had to play it to stay alive. I have read through all the rules and such in the OP and my own role, and I think all the good power type actions are going to be available to all town players based on shrine visits so I am just one of many and eating the early NK will be fine.

I do have a pretty strong amount of experience with Elder Scrolls games, though I think Sloonei is writing a new story here and that knowledge is background at best. If anyone has questions I will try to help though. Ping me.

As a first cut, Azura is generally the most inclined to help mortals among the Daedra...and Mehrunes Dagon should really translate as "run the other way as fast as you can" so I am most likely not visiting that shrine ever.
