Rules

1) Day periods last 48 hours. Night periods last 23 hours.

3) No double-targeting (targeting the same player on consecutive nights) or self-targeting is permitted. Self-voting is also not permitted.
4) All players on the side of the winning faction will win.
5) Role-claiming and revealing information is not permitted. This includes discussing scrap or system upgrade purchases. You may discuss system upgrades in general but not what you have obtained.

Scrap

You receive 3 scrap for voting in a poll (Day or Night).

Each time a ship is destroyed by Day vote, it loses half its value and the remaining half is up for grabs. There will be a Night poll to determine who shall receive scrap, and it will be divided up in accordance with the poll results. Each vote in the Night poll is of equal weight.

Repairs: For each vote you took in the Day poll (regardless of its value), you will lose one scrap for repairs. If you cannot repair your ship, you will begin the next Day with votes against you equal to the number of votes you cannot afford to repair. You need not PM the Host to initiate repairs; these will be done automatically as long as you have the scrap.

Scrap is used to purchase system upgrades from The Store. You may make a purchase via PM to the Host at any time. Once an upgrade has been purchased from The Store, it will be noted in red text, and that upgrade is out of stock and no longer available for purchase. Check The Store page before submitting your order!

Seems like as good a way as any to welcome soneji

Also we should probably be doing one vote on everyone tbh

Hello I am a space ship.

Voted Sloonei so he might agree to finally do the fusion dance with me, and become Slooneji!

That's a fun mechanic. Off wagon votes actually do something.

Like maybe if you're the only person who scumreads someone, you can eventually make them a viable lynch just be being persistent. And there's no such thing as scum hiding off wagon because they're always hurting someone. Plus, wolves may be less willing to vote for a teammate at all.

No, I am the spaceship.

Btw I should probably warn everyone I a) will largely be making snap reads and b) will not be explaining them beyond "I made a snap read," cause I don't believe in overexplaining snap gut reads.

Just so everyone is aware.

You should still sheep me tho.

I also vote for Slooneji.

I figure we should give the bonus scrap to Soneji because we miss playing with him or a new player as a welcome present/wolves probably don't shoot the new players early anyway. There's three of them though, so I'm just gonna vote Soneji for scrap.

Howdy, [mention]JiwonMeganPark[/mention] [mention]motobot[/mention] and [mention]Myo[/mention]. Where are ya'll from and do I know you by any other names already?

I’ve put a lot of effort into this op

Oh hey Soneji actually playing with us Syndicate peasants this is fun.

Hola! Did the quote function work? Normally I play at HogwartWerewolves which is a tiny little group so I highly doubt you would know me by another name (and also my name there is almost the same).

Oh, I see, I chopped off the quotation ID initially so it didn't work. Replying to myself to see if it works now.

I'm just kidding baby you're the best news of all.

You have fangs? That's pretty wolfy.

< yeah look at that

You haven't put your vote back I see.

Should I give my vote to someone else or are you gonna put yours back on me?

Yup, so I'm going to have to get used to the forum-style posting and not having comment chains to follow.

For the purpose of mafia lingo, claws might be a better choice here. Or pouncing, pouncing is fun!

I read a lot of meta posts regarding game design back in the winter when I was preparing to run a game and you all have a few of those that came up.

Ftr I love talking game design and will happily clutter this thread talking shop if you want to

I like the idea that the villains of this game are still the generic wolves, battling a fleet of space ships. They’re all in little wolf space suits. Little relative to the vastness of space, I mean.

I actually ran the game back in April. The meta posts I read weren’t actually helpful, since games here seem very different and some of the core assumptions don’t hold over to where I normally play.

Yeah, balancing for site-meta is a real thing. My home site everything has to be mafia-sided a bit cause the town play is pretty high.

You talkin' about lynch-style votes, or today's vote. I like Jack's idea for today's vote. Although I also want the extra scrap because upgrading sounds legit.

Today’s scrap vote.

What was jack’s idea?

To give someone new the bonus scrap. So you think if we all tie in today's vote, we'll all get scrap?

I think so?

Eh, I guess that was an assumption rather than what it actually says.

Also Myo and sig are mafia partners, discuss

I offered one single pre-flip associative read in Banjo-Kazooie and it gave me the false confidence to mislynch a civilian who I thought was paired with another civilian on Day 1. Never again!

Hello~ :3

Why don't we all claim our ships?
