Hey, guys.
I'm a food-creator. It's in your best interest to not kill me, 'cause if you don't, then I can give you new food.
In short, I'm your best shot at not starving to death.
(Confirm.)

Players consume food at the end if the night phase.

If you have no food at that time, you die.

Food is distributed evenly between all players involved in killing another player, with excess food being distributed randomly.

For example, 3 players team up and kill someone with 4 food. Each of them gets one food, plus one of them (determined randomly) gets an additional food.

Mastin how many pieces of food can you produce per night?

I second this question.

[Cheery Dog]

I guess I've better confirm.

[JDGA]

mastin, details on how your power works?
(Semi-related: would people consider a massclaim in this game?)

[Blackberry]

I'm wondering if it's possible that if we were all honest about our food amount and special abilities if there's some sort of mechanic where all 10 of us would be able to survive all 9 days. You know, kind of like a Saw thing where we think we have to kill each other for food but really if we work together we can all survive? The opening post does suggest we're all supposed to be experts so maybe we're supposed to solve some sort of puzzle as a team O_o.

Why do we have emergency supplies over a week after the emergency? Who built this thing?!

You did.

[Aronis]

I don't really want to claim right now.

[vonflare]

Rules clarification:

To give other people food, you may either post the recipient and amount in-thread OR pm me.

[vonflare]

should I prod someone if they haven't posted in 2 days?

Do I even have the authority to do that?

[JDGA]

You totally have the authority to do that.

[Micc]

Well, we could just agree to kill the people who aren't here?

[JDGA]

That wouldn't be the worst of ideas to start things off.

[mastin2]

Mastin how many pieces of food can you produce per night?

One, and I HAVE to give it away during the night, so it's not "I 'can' give it away but will horde it", it's "I must give it away".

Thus why it benefits you to not kill me.

I mean, I don't have enough food to live through the game, so someone's gonna have to eventually scratch my back or I'm gonna have to eventually rip open theirs, but I do intend to use this as often as I am able. Because each night we'll keep consuming food (and stealing it via killing), and I'm the only one I'm betting who's a source of NEW food.

[Aronis]

I should be involved with the killing of as many people as possible.

[mastin2]

Clarification, my action's not compulsive, obviously. But I'm saying that when I make the food, I have to give it to someone else; I can't keep it.

Interesting strategy I thought of, though, was that I'd target people who I think will die: if they do, then my extra food should go to one of the killers, at least in theory.

[vonflare]

I reserve the right to impose a deadline if the majority refuses to vote for sleep.

Not that I expect that to happen. Just in case 5 people decide to troll simultaneously.

[Cheery Dog]

But if we don't sleep, the game doesn't progress, and therefore we don't run out of food.

[vonflare]

^^^ good point.

New rule: day phase maximum 5 real days.
