Are you comfortable with the way this list was created?

I literally said I would do it so.

Why wouldn't you just come to your own conclusions and support them with reasoning instead of, "well I spun a wheel and derpidoo, they're town, that one is scum. The wheel said so. Not my fault"?

Because I’m bored of doing that all the time and wanted to spice things up for this large game!

Spoiler: show

because i can't read you for shit

explain

Recently I have come to terms with the idea that there are certain people that I cannot read, and that it is my precondition to suspect them and never quite arrive at understanding how to read them, yet my suspecting of people I cannot read tends to get them flipped anyway, so I never really have to understand them.

People like Tedxtr, Marmot, Long Con fall into this box. As do you.

Your random list made me think "reeee". I do not understand why it exists. Therefore I hate it. Therefore I want to kill you regardless of knowing why it exists.

i'm going insane are you guys all high

also tim is playing different.

mac seems different too, more like what I'm used to him being like.

Scottt seems a bit lost/confused.

can nanook use normal font size, or better yet use big font?

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.

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.

The site is very different today from Scotty’s time. It’s also weird to me but I understand that’s just how the game has changed...

It’s far more dangerous to town lock someone early than it is to sus. That’s how town gets shazammed by a towny mafia

Well, presuming that you are town getting bumrushed by tunnelers before the day even gets started is definitely bad for your victory conditions (if you really get hard tunneled that will give the wolves every opportunity to just luff through day one), where a poor town read probably won't hurt you for several days at least.

Meh. I’m used to being a target early because I’m manic. Doesn’t mean I can’t get stuff done. I like discussion. I’m the guy that brings frisbees, whiffle balls and monopoly to the football game in case spectators get bored.

Fair. But it is true that an early "town core" isn't an immediate tragedy, especially since if me, Mac, and Alison are all alive going through the midgame I can pretty well guarantee that the kumbaya hold hands and dance together bit will meet a messy end of tinfoil and tribulations unless we have just slaughtered wolves right left and center to prove to each other that we are on the straight and narrow path. Townreads legit don't do any harm unless they carry to late game.

Town read = / = town lock

Strawhenge got early town locked so hard in Fallout that a red check on him during endgame got completely ignored, and then he won for his wolf team.

Case and point, your honor

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".

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.

I agree to do this until Tim invariably pings me late on day 1 and I proceed to tinfoil him for the next 3-4 days until he gets mischopped on day 4 and blames exclusively me for it.

When did this happen? I mean, it sounds realistic and plausible, but I don't keep track in such detail...
