BLOODBORNE: THE HUNTER'S PARTY (DAY 1)

[Klingoncelt]

I picked the Pthumeru Chalice to adventure in because we might not have enough weapons or Blood Echoes or Insights or whatever else is needed to make the bosses sleep with the fishes.

I'll round up the hookers, you make the gangsters talk, Shinobi can hit the pawn shops, and 50 can work the strip joint.

[Klingoncelt]

I'll be back in a couple hours, it's noisy here in Grand Central.

[Klingoncelt]

Not that type of game Klingon lol

lol

[Klingoncelt]

Hi! I've put no effort into figuring out how this game works yet.

Nice Scumclaim.

[Klingoncelt]

@KC:

Did YOU pick this team to accompany you for the dungeon quest or were we "assigned" to you at random?

@All:

- Who's your top scum read right now?? I mean someone you you feel strong enough about, not just suspect.

I picked. I chose you guys from among the players I know and can somewhat read.

[Klingoncelt]

I'll round up the hookers, you make the gangsters talk, Shinobi can hit the pawn shops, and 50 can work the strip joint.

I feel lost already!!! What am I/we supposed to do here, besides talking to eachother? In other words: HOW do we proceed with the dungeon investigation?

Every Adventure is different... here's the one I referred to, from SaGa.

Pthumeru will be a cakewalk, pick hinterwind, at least there will be some thrill to whether or not we succeed.

I think there are penalties for failure.

I don't like penalties.

After we see how this first Adventure goes, we can stay wussy or be more daring in future escapades.

I don't have any top reads right now, it's too early. Quite a few people I want to ISO...

[Klingoncelt]

I'll tell you both when KC responds.

I responded, what's up?

[Klingoncelt]

Klingon you've played with almost50 before? Can you tell him to get his head out of his ass?

He's not playing like he did in that other game (Soccer Spirits) - he was Scum there.

So... I'm thinking that he's Town.

There are lots of players with their heads up their asses in this game.

[Klingoncelt]

Thanks! ♥

[Klingoncelt]

We don't need to claim anything today.

Off-topic: My granddaughter's school year is over. As usual, on their last day the middle school kids had a little party. She joined some friends and played her very first game of Mafia! She rolled Scum, killed the Doctor on Night 1, and was lynched Day 3. She loved it! I'm trying to get her to sign up here now, lol.

[Klingoncelt]

And congratulations on getting a granddaughter through another year of school Klingoncelt!

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

Thanks!

I just hope we can get her and Grandson through college...

[Klingoncelt]

I'm V/LA until Tuesday. Part of the holiday will be spent in a backwater that doesn't believe in computers and internetses.

[Klingoncelt]

I'll tell you both when KC responds.

I responded, what's up?

A50, what's up?

[Klingoncelt]

Did I miss Shinobi's birthday?

Happy Belated, Shinobi!


But I'm starting to worry about you. You aren't engaged enough, and when you do talk to someone you're edgy and defensive. You weren't like this as the Cop in Wake's Classic Rock game.

[Klingoncelt]

I want to kick Randomidget in the nutz right now.

[Klingoncelt]

I dunno, as bloodthirsty as this game is maybe there are extra points for killing Hunting Parties. It's a hell of a coincidence, at least.

Part of my anger, though, comes from the fact that he could be right. I'm starting to suspect Shinobi and I don't want to.

[Klingoncelt]

I was very tired yesterday and my head wasn't clear. I was letting myself be influenced.

I'll have a much clearer head tomorrow - well, much later today now that it's past midnight - and I can get a good readslist.

[Klingoncelt]

A50, what's up?

I responded in the game thread, didn't I?? Let me go did it. OK, here it is (post #870 in the game thread):

@KC:

I asked if you hand picked us for the quest or if we were assigned to you because:

I'm scum reading

both of Mixed &

Shinobi and leaning town on you. If you're really town you wouldn't know the alignment of who you pick beforehand, so that's a dead end. If you're scum though; this may very well be your scum team and you simply attached a 4th "clueless" player at the rear of it bc the team consisted of only 3 scum and you needed someone else to ensure your quest has the maximum chance of succeeding.

I'm simply trying to cover all my bases, drawing links and what not.

Oh, okay, I saw that.

I was thinking that you found some way to crack the game wide open using this Hunting Party.

I didn't get enough sleep this holiday.

[Klingoncelt]

@KC:

If the Huntmaster vote ends in a tie it will mean you will still be the N2 Huntmaster, so please consider my request of picking both Mix & RI in your team, with the 3rd being one of R&L, GW or myself. Doing so will help the town greatly, and will also upgrade my read on you to the top tier (which is a side effect, I know.. but a favourable one still I'm sure).

I dunno about RI... and I'm not sure about GW, either.

I'll do what I can to break any tie, I think the Huntmaster should change and we at least have a backup. If there's a tie and I'm killed tonight, we lose the Night 2 Hunt.

I won't vote R&L, though. I'm not quite sold on their being Town, and I'm not sure what these Hunts are like, I don't know if they're up to the task.

[Klingoncelt]

I'm going to catch up on today's posts in the game thread and get started on my reads list finally.

[Klingoncelt]

Klingon, I need your vote on Bogre.

Not gonna happen.

It's one thing to lynch lurkers, and I'm more than happy to do that, but it looks like Bogre flaked. I think Zulfy did too.

Let's see what their replacements do. (It's what Varsoon wants, right? hmm...)

We have semi-active real lurkers that look genuinely scummy. I'm not nuts about the guy that replaced Firebringer. And there's Shadow_Step. Sensei and Ranger have been strangely quiet.

Anyway, still catching up...

[Klingoncelt]

Did I miss Shinobi's birthday?

Happy Belated, Shinobi!


But I'm starting to worry about you. You aren't engaged enough, and when you do talk to someone you're edgy and defensive. You weren't like this as the Cop in Wake's Classic Rock game.

Thanks!
And whatever to everything else.

That's a little bit better.

[Klingoncelt]

Oh, so Zulfy

didn't

flake!

He's the lynch choice, then, if you want a useless lurker.

[Klingoncelt]

Do you guys think R&L are Town?

I don't.

[Klingoncelt]

Don't tell me there's a lynch before I was totally caught up!

Well, at least we can start our adventure - woot!

[Klingoncelt]

Can you tell us why you suspect them?

WAY WAY WAY

WAY

too much emotion and ego in their posts. Damn near nothing by way of content.

It wouldn't bug me if they only made a few posts, but they dominated every page!

[Klingoncelt]

They are definitely town (R&L that is)

Also, nice timing for the end of the day. It's 7:10 am here in Cairo and I still haven't slept. I mean, I usually go to be between 2:00-6:00, so not a biggie, but still we need to get things done here (things that I don't even know what they are, mind you).

How do you know they are "definitely" Town?

I was in an offsite game where FA was Scum, I'm seeing some similarity.

[Klingoncelt]

I'd like to hear a LOT more from Shiro.

FA does get emotional regardless of alignment, but after that offsite game I look harder at her and trust her a lot less. FA's campaigning for Huntmaster bugs me a lot.

[Klingoncelt]

How do you know they are "definitely" Town?

I have STRONG reason to believe that's a town slot.

?

Okay...

[Klingoncelt]

@KC:

Who are your 3 top town reads as of now? (preferably in order)

P-edit:

I know Frozen well. We started playing mafia on another site at the same game, and from there on -until like a month ago- we have played each and every game there together (it's a board for an online game with a mafia section as a side-kick with a limited number of players).

However, that isn't even the reason why I'm positive that slot is town. OK, I'm not sure if I should actually say this but I've been trying to put one and one together, and I think I've got 2 characters figured out.. hers and Wgeurts' .. and they're both town old hunters.

You play at SC2?

I have You, Mixed, Nahdia, and RI as Town.

Everyone else is Lean Town or lower.

Mixed, I wish you would have posted the Secret Society link sooner - I would have voted for Bogre instantly.

[Klingoncelt]

Well, good job!

One down, and you three picked up some Insight and Blood Echoes, not bad!

[Klingoncelt]

Klingon, I need your vote on Bogre.

Not gonna happen.

It's one thing to lynch lurkers, and I'm more than happy to do that, but it looks like Bogre flaked. I think Zulfy did too.

Anyway, still catching up...

I only wish you had joined us for this, Klingon.

Usually when I don't know a player I ISO their profile page and check all their games. I didn't have time to do that this week because of the holiday, and the thread was locked before I saw your link, so I totally missed how scummy he was.

I'll sheep youns on the next lynch for sure.

[Klingoncelt]

[Klingoncelt]

'kay.

[Klingoncelt]

Let me at 'em, I'll show those wise guys who's boss. Yeah. I'll be

their

boss, see? Me and my gang. We'll be at the top of the world, Ma!

[Klingoncelt]

Off -topic: You guys remember House? He's back, signing up in the Newbie thread. Woot.

[Klingoncelt]

Umm... we only have 4 votes, don't we? How can we get the extra vote needed?

[Klingoncelt]

[Klingoncelt]

Okay. I won't be here before 9pm eastern most likely.

[Klingoncelt]

Kingoncelt needs to confirm that you will fight the boss or decide to back out at this point.

We're going in!

[Klingoncelt]

Standing by for Shinobi's vote and Bolt vote...

[Klingoncelt]

@Shinobi, excellent. Once you have that we'll just need Klingoncelt to come confirm we're facing the boss, you go in with your bolt vote (with whatever RP flavor you want,) Klingoncelt and Almost50 will go next, and I'll finish it off for the kill. A glorious victory to echo through the game.

And, if it goes as planned, one that makes you look better, so be happy!

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

Yeah I'm just waiting for confirmation.
Also I'm terrible at RP so my action might just be naked.

Just go ahead and post it, Varsoon will confirm and do the vote count as soon as he gets here.

[Klingoncelt]

Am I the only one that thinks the Watchdog Boss looks kinda like the Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

[Klingoncelt]

@Klingoncelt, I want you to go in first and announce in the RP thread that we're taking on the boss. Something official looking like a "challenge accepted, we're going in!" or what not.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

mmmkay

[Klingoncelt]

Annnnd done.

[Klingoncelt]

Go,vote, Shinobi, over in the Chalice thread.

[Klingoncelt]

Oh, I thought it just counted as one.

Sorry.

[Klingoncelt]

It was interesting. More difficult than I thought it would be.

The level 5 Dungeon will be wicked.

[Klingoncelt]

OK everyone, here are some plans for the rest of tonight and into tomorrow.

Everyone with two insight (should be Almost50, Mixed6, and Klingoncelt,) holds off on spending it today and tomorrow. We want to get the passive effects to start to kick in for town to get a scum count and all three of those players can get it as long as any of them survive until D3 (there will probably be others as we should be lynching scum tomorrow.)

Pay attention to the wagons; at some point Albert B. Rampage will probably be calling for the town to hit one like he did at the end of today. We want you to be on that wagon. We'll have good reasons for it (we already do, but plans need to be flexible and they might change depending on how the day goes,) so we're going to ask you to follow our lead even if you don't see the reason for what we're doing.

@Klingoncelt, I want you to purchase the Saw Cleaver after the day starts if you have the option to. You've got the Blood Echoes needed, but that's a public purchase so you can't do it ahead of time. The primary interest will be using the transformed version for double votes. After that follow our lead.

For the PMs for tonight I'm going to have everyone use their own judgement. If there's something that you aren't sharing, but don't want lost in case you die, send it to someone you trust. If you've got a clever plan for them go ahead and use it.

-Zorblag R`Lyeh

Okay, will do.

I can't think of anyone to send a PM to tonight. Or anything to say. You guys know what I know.

[Klingoncelt]

Mixed

- Do you want me double voting right away, or wait until closer to deadline?

[Klingoncelt]

I just sent a PM after all.

[Klingoncelt]

Anything you want to work out you need to hurry on, the game reopens in 4 hours and I think this thread gets locked then.

[Klingoncelt]

Yes, my thanks to the most excellent Hunting Party, brave souls you are!
