    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[Just caught a three hour nap all afternoon. Feel less like I'm gonna die. Don't feel like offering any more speculation, I'm afraid. But I feel like trying to guess at how two kills might correspond to the buddy system was a pretty reasonable contribution, which I already acknowledged was pure...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[As usual, Dawning's takes are deeply unintuitive to me, but their posts read like town with a normal, non-custom role to me. Very slight positive read.]] [[Anyway I could have sworn the game was described as role madness in discord a while back, and my own role is, uh... very not normal.]]...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[Am awake, am tired, might just go back to sleep. Thought I'd come up with a plausible explanation for two nightkills that tied into this game's major gimmick, but I guess that's sus? Okay, sure. I think the role PMs specifying that buddies can win independently of their faction are gonna do...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz scoffed, smiling. "We got gods know how long t'do whatever we fancy. Wouldn't mind spendin' some of that time on this. Y'ain't terrible company, so the idea of workin' with ya, even if it meant pullin' back on dungeon jobs..." She hummed. Being a hero... She'd always felt inexorably...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz smiled again, less bright, but warmer. "Huh. Well, I hope that works out fer ya, since yer interest is clearly more substantial than I reckoned. And hey, if you ever want someone to run an idea by or talk shop, I'm always available. A considerable fascination with combat from a viewin'...

    Luz nodded, stroking her chin. "Y'know, they may not have trainers here, but Brisa's been gettin' by in part on combat tuition. There's a market fer combat trainin', an' fer analysis of professional fightin', both in sport and in Guild business. I don't know that that's of more interest t'you...

    Destiny Village ~ Library

    Luz nodded appreciatively. It did suit him. "Yeah, I wanted a spark of individuality myself. That's the silver-blue thing I got goin' on. Not really a Brisa thing or a Wanderin' Light thing. Just me. The body's obviously from my namesake, an' the other bits an' pieces are from Brisa. An' now I...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    Salem gave a friendly nod to Steven, hoping that his calm demeanour indicated that, as in the last game, he'd be a reasonable and perceptive ally. She stared at the sobbing oshawott, not having the faintest idea how to comfort the creature, and a sickening concern that he was just as likely to...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[It's role madness. So, yes.]] [[My role PM said I could win if my buddy system survived to the end, even if a scum player got assigned to us. So, that sounds... different.]]

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[I don't think so. It's really unusual for vigilantes to get to shoot on N0, unless they're oneshot, in which case you'd think they wouldn't waste it.]]

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[Sortof annoyed that it doesn't seem like folks are getting the idea of 'two scumteams'. They wouldn't be allied to each other. It's an elegant possibility, albeit by no means certain. Anyway, if my hypothesis is right, and leaving aside how scum could end up in buddy systems when their...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    "If there are two killer teams, they'd have to take out each other as well, right?" Salem scratched her ear unhappily.

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[Nah. One pair of scum, and a second pair of scum. It's a little like having a scumteam and an SK in vanilla. As far as I'm concerned, a third party with a buddy is another scumteam. It's my working assumption for now.]]

    Luz raised an eyebrow. Everything, huh? "Why do I get the feelin' that's exactly what yer source would say?" She drummed the digits of one paw on her temple. "Y'sure took yer time selectin' a form to take, so yer not entirely indifferent. Nice choice, by the way. Very slick." She smirked...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    "Nobody in this game is alone," mused Salem, to herself and to the nearby, mute creature. "If there's a lone killer, they'd be paired up with a townie, right? It's not impossible, but it'd be really different to a normal lone killer. Much more like a mafia team, especially if they're sharing...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    [[I'm still figuring out what the ideal moves are for town right now, but I believe Inke/Mlle is telling the truth, and I think the idea of two small scumteams is very likely, given the numbers and the buddy system. Provisionally, it'd be pretty swell if a healer type could fix their powers on...

    Salem shook her head. "She was saying her three visitors were her buddy, someone trying to kill her buddy, and someone trying to kill her."

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    Salem quietly took a pattie from sans' grill before it had hardly cooked, with a small nod of thanks. The skeleton was clearly a liar and another otherworldly presence, but at least he wasn't a killer. Probably. After all, he wasn't playing, right? She took a bite of her prize, and watched the...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    "When I woke up, I thought I'd just been confused about where I'd gone to sleep last night, but iinstead I was in another of these secret killer games. I didn't ask for this. And if there's a lone killer like my last game, or more than one killing team, or maybe even a good guy stupid enough to...

    [COMPLETE] Humble Vale Mafia

    Salem crept into the town square, hugging close to the walls. At least when you were up against a wall you could count on your back being covered. "Uh. Hello," she ventured, quietly. Then, louder, burning at how pathetic her voice had just sounded, "My name is Salem, I'm part-purrloin...
