mb = mathblade? They are not in this game. Do you think Nomsy could be someone not on the regular player list, or were you not paying attention?

Oh I thought they were in the game. Never mind, then I know exactly who Nomsy is then.
No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

Best friends: I don't agree with friendly neighbor, I think that interpretation is based on the name of the trait rather than what it does in the source; I think this trait pairs people up in some way and gives a buff. Maybe just 1 pair for balance.

Mage crest: A mage emblem is an item that makes you count as having 1 additional mage on your team, for the purpose of set bonuses. This sounds pretty specific to the mage role so it's surprising to me that we have two people voting here right now.

Ancient Archives: A tome of traits gives you a choice between different emblems. I have no clue how that would translate to an ability here. Could be similar to mage crest but with different choices.

For example: your argument sounds good, mastina, until you take into account that you neglected any mention of mala's scum game in your analysis.
A Sufficiently strong divergence from the known patterns of a towngame with no Sufficiently strong explanation as to justify the discrepancy is reason enough.

It is not that I couldn't back this up, for were I to put the effort in, I could; it is that I saw no reason to put time into it because I have better uses of my time than proving what is already EVIDENT to me.

HEAL: Best friends because from Dunnstral's explanation I would guess it helps 2 people instead of 1. Share the love :D

mastina v malakittens is interesting. I'm leaning s/s or t/t over t/s. Easy theatre, or mastina's overthinking. Too early to say anything about it for sure, though

Of this, I am aware.

You developing a townread on me is not proof of your alignment. That is not you TEST.

Should it be the case where you have undergone your TRIAL, regardless of the results, I shall then need to pass JUDGEMENT upon you.

But that will come in the future.

DAY ONE AUGMENT CHOICE


Augments are fun and exciting ways to change up any game of TFT — what kind of build can you come up with this game?

Please vote using the heal tags HEAL: for whichever augment you want! They're listed below!

You have 24 hours to decide.


(expired on 2022-08-24 20:15:56)


—————

Best Friends

Mage Crest

Ancient Archives
For the record:

Mage Crest gives the Mage trait to a unit usually lacking it; this allows for double-casting their ability.
In a mafia sense, this means it's either granting Multitasking or a double-shot of an ability, e.g. using two cops at night instead of one.

Ancient Archives gives a Tome of Traits, from a semi random list of four. Whichever trait you get gives the trait selected to a unit.
In a mafia sense, this is either empowering the player holding the selected trait, or making a player with a different trait gain a power from a new trait.

Best Friends buffs until next to each other, which is either a buff to two players, or just giving them a neighborhood.

Best Friends seems like the safest least volatile most known outcome to me, since the other two are more of a gamble.

Oh, misspoke on Mage.
Either Multitasking via double shot, OR, a buff to the player holding the Mage trait.

Finding scum is only half the battle, you need to convince others as well.

I think it’s obvious why Enchant picked Mage Crest but you didn’t know that I knew anything about that until now sooo

Sure 185 seems pro-Town but there was already substantial talk on the subject so scum!mastina may have felt compelled to spill her takes on the options. It’s NAI for me rn.

So does choosing an augment also add that augment to the actions we take or is it just a mechanic?

tbf my last game with mastina (murdercat's drafting) they had a confidently correct scumread that also had the flaw of only really looking at one alignment.
