Ok, I will wait for everyone to check in with any questions, and let me know if they understand the rules. Please do your best to understand all the rules.

I think I got everything.

[inspiratieloos]

I assume we'll be playing from the First Steps set?

[inspiratieloos]

Can we talk by PM or do we have to do so publicly?

[inspiratieloos]

No communication is just an agreement that you can make regardless of whatever other rules you use.

[inspiratieloos]

What special rules could there have been on the Protagonist Script card?

[inspiratieloos]

Card placed on City

[inspiratieloos]

Edit: I think you forgot the card you placed on the Shrine?

[inspiratieloos]

FWTJR is first to play, right?

[inspiratieloos]

Card on Girl Student

[inspiratieloos]

Same

[inspiratieloos]

Card on Rich Man's Daughter

[inspiratieloos]

I guess I'll have the Office Worker reveal his role.

[inspiratieloos]

*shock*

[inspiratieloos]

There's nothing else I can do, right?

[inspiratieloos]

Sure, no problem, it just occurred that you might have been waiting for me.

[inspiratieloos]

Card placed on the Nurse

[inspiratieloos]

I'm pretty sure there's no protagonist actions to take, at least not any that have an effect.

[inspiratieloos]

It's FWTJR -> lilith -> me, right?

[inspiratieloos]

Card placed on the Nurse

[inspiratieloos]

No problem.

[inspiratieloos]

I think you put paranoia instead of goodwill on the Boy Student in the overview.

Card on Nurse

[inspiratieloos]

Card on Shrine Maiden

[inspiratieloos]

Just to be clear, we didn't lose because the RMD died?

[inspiratieloos]

Anyway, I've been wondering this the entire time, lilith, what was your explanation for the Journalist dying? I didn't see any other possibility other than the Office Worker being the SK.

[inspiratieloos]

I mean, hypothetically, if the RMD was for example a Key Person we would have lost the moment the incident happened and not at the end of the Loop, right?

As for discussion: A suicide incident on the last day of the Loop seems completely pointless unless the victim has a death relevant role. Assuming the above is correct, RMD can't be a Key Person, because we would have lost before the end of the Loop and she can't be the Friend because the role would have been revealed. That only leaves her being a (untriggered) Factor or a red herring... I have no idea whether this game does red herring incidents.

[inspiratieloos]

Light of the Avenger is First Steps only, we're playing Basic Tragedy.

As far as I can tell there's three possible loss conditions we could have triggered: 2 Shrine Intrigue with Sealed Item, 2 Shrine Intrigue with Giant Time Bomb (and Witch Shrine Maiden) or Change of Future without Time Traveller Goodwill.
D1 there was an Intrigue placed by the Mastermind Action, so either there's a Brain (and necessarily the Sealed Item plot) or there's the An Unsettling Rumour subplot.

[inspiratieloos]

Good catch, guess that's another question for LLD:

If we had lost due to Time Traveller losecon would it have been "Day Ends -> Protagonists Lose -> Loop ends" instead of "Day ends -> Loop ends -> Protagonists Lose"

[inspiratieloos]

Also something worth mentioning. Use the +2 Goodwill when a character is 2 off from using an ability, it's basically two free actions as it allows you to use a goodwill ability a turn early in addition to saving a turn having to play +1 goodwill twice.

It's probably best to try and avoid Shrine Intrigue to force a reveal on other roles. Possibly also City intrigue, a Factor seems plausible.

[inspiratieloos]

There should be a long list of volunteers at least.

[inspiratieloos]

What about BB, JDGA and Felissan?

[inspiratieloos]

Brian, have you followed the game so far? If so, have any thoughts on what's going on that lilith and I might have missed?

[inspiratieloos]

More like play forbid intrigue if you see nothing better to do, unless you're the last player and no forbid intrigue has been played yet.

[inspiratieloos]

As you pointed out, Time Traveller should be impossible since we would have lost before the Loop ended if there was one.

[inspiratieloos]

Depends on what roles there are. Probably not in this game.

[inspiratieloos]

Yes, Office Worker = SK is the only possible explanation for the Journalist dying D1, also Lilith used the OW ability to confirm he's the SK.

There's a pdf with all possible plots in the second link of LLD's first post. We're playing of Basic Tragedy, which is the second page of that pdf.

[inspiratieloos]

We never got the Goodwill on Shrine Maiden to try and use one of her abilities.
