lmfao i am in stitches

[[Seconding the call for actual gameplay from the folks who've just been roleplaying, and the call for evidence of 'prank calling']]

[[I thought about it some more, and Dawning's assumptions about what constitutes rational townplay and hostility to anyone who doesn't fit their schema for that playstyle is consistent with their previous townplay. I'm reading them as town with moderate conviction.]]

[[A buddy system composed of an SK and a townie is a team with a shared wincon and a kill power. That also describes a mafia. Obviously it's different, but I don't trust people not to behave that way in that situation.]] [[Anyway, I've shared information on my weird power with my buddy, mostly...

[[I think mostly I'm just pretty terrified of mixed alignment buddy systems and the effect that might have on balance. What if my buddy is an SK or on the scumteam and they're going to off me? In normal neighbour setups, the townie basically gets a free scumread. In this setup, a distributed...

[[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...

[[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.]]...

[[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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

[[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.]]

[[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.]]

[[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...

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

[[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...

"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...
