GENERAL RULES:

Spoiler:

This game will start with a 'prequel' phase--during this time, all players will be given access to their PTs and some roles may even have specific abilities that can be used. Any players with access to a PT can chat during this phase.
Furthermore, the 'prequel' phase will serve as a time for players to ask about various mechanics and for me to give clear indication of how different things work so that there will be less confusion about the mechanics once the game starts.
The 'prequel' phase will last 72 hours.
As a general rule you should aim for one post every 24 hours, minimum, to keep the game moving.
If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – please don't leave us hanging!
Prods of missing players will be issued after 72 hours of no activity. Also, players may request a prod on another player after 48 hours. Any player may be replaced if they fail to post in-thread within 24 hours of being prodded by me or within 48 hours of being prodded after a player-suggested prod. If the game turns to night before you can respond to your prod, PM me letting me know you still want to play.
No prods will be issued during Night.
A player who is eligible for a third prod is subject to possible replacement without further notice.
You may not quote private Moderator-supplied information (either real or fabricated) of any kind. Paraphrasing (for role claims, etc.) is acceptable.
You may not quote private topic or other out-of-game discussion (such as Hydra chats) in the public game thread, regardless of if the quotes are real or fabricated. Paraphrasing is acceptable.
You can always copy and paste the full content of your own posts (outside of moderator communication) so long as it does not contain any links to where it came from or any timestamps.
You may only ever paraphrase posts by other players and this is also subject to the same link/timestamp restriction.
There is to be NO personal communication outside of the forum postings and approved QTs. If someone contacts you outside the game you should report it to me immediately.

DURING THE DAY:

Spoiler:

Each Day will have a two-week deadline. Extensions will be given only in extreme circumstances, but always feel free to ask.
Day Actions resolve as soon as I am capable of resolving them.
If you submit a day action publicly or privately but you do not want the action to take effect, you must PM me about the action cancellation as soon as you submit the action. If another player makes a post between when you submit the action and when you PM me about cancellation, I will not be able to cancel your day action.
If you have a Day Action that you may submit privately, I will allow you to 'queue' the action to resolve on a trigger such as "When the Day begins" or "If I ever am voted for."
If multiple Day Actions are queued to be resolved on the same trigger, I will resolve them according to NAR rules.
If you do not know when your action resolves in NAR, feel free to ask me.
A simple majority of votes relative to the number of living players is required for a Lynch to occur (simple majority = ½ # of living players +1, rounded down).
If the deadline runs out before a majority lynch is agreed on, the day will end in a no-lynch.
Players may vote for a No-Lynch via voting for 'No Lynch'.
Once a player has reached a simple majority of votes no further unvoting will change their fate.
Once a player is lynched the game enters twilight until I post a death scene; all players may continue to post.
Once you are dead (either via lynch or night kill) you may no longer post except for a brief “Bah!”-type post that contains NO game related information.
Votes should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: Player or VOTE: Player).
Vote revocations should be bolded or tagged or they may not be counted (e.g. VOTE: UNVOTE: Player or Unvote). Unvotes are not necessary before changing votes.
Votes/Unvotes must be placed on a line all by themselves to make them easier for everyone to see.
Votes/Unvotes that reasonably follow the guidelines specified above, and are unambiguous with respect to player nicknames/abbreviations, will count.
If you cast a Vote, doing so will remove all previous votes indicated with your name before the new vote is cast--in this way, a player who has a role-related ability to double vote will essentially 'unvote' before casting their new vote, rather than having a lingering double vote.
Your normal vote is a 'voting action' that is only affected by other actions that specifically interact with your vote.
In the case of specific votes (such as an ability that may put a vote called [Extra Vote] on a player), you must use specific tags to submit these votes AND to remove them if you want to unvote with just that [Extra Vote].
If you unvote, you will remove all votes that are clearly controlled by you in the votecount. Unvoting will not remove votes that can not be removed or votes that can only be submitted privately.
Vote counts will be edited into the first post of each page (so long as I can keep up, yo). Other announcements and requested vote counts will receive their own post.

	INSIGHT SHOP

ITEM NAME	INSIGHT EFFECT	INSIGHT COST
Numbing Mist Scourge of the Beast	1 Shot. Any Phase. Target Player can not perform any non-killing actions during the current and subsequent phase.	1 Insight
Bolt Paper Divine Strike	1 shot. Day Phase. You may add the [BOLT] prefix to any voting action you perform to add an extra vote to the action. This causes the voted player to be unable to use any Weapon-related abilities for the rest of the day phase. If the voted player has more than 4 insight, this applies two extra votes instead of one.	1 Insight
Fire Paper Smiting Strike	1 Shot. Day Phase. You may add the [FIRE] prefix to any voting action you perform. It now adds an extra vote, or two extra votes against anyone with Beasthood.	1 Insight
Small Resonant Bell Make Contact	1 Shot. Any Phase. You may create a private Neighborhood for you and another target player. This Neighborhood has chat access during day and night phases.	1 Insight
Shaman Bone Blade Exert Control	1 Shot. Night Phase. Submit a target player and either their Role Name or a specific mechanic that their role employs. If you correctly submit the role name or mechanic, you may redirect their Night action. This will not affect the Scum faction's Night Kill.	2 Insight
Blood Rock Transcendence	Your basic vote now counts as 2 votes. Your non-factional actions always resolve/can not be blocked--they may still be redirected, however.	4 Insight

Spoiler: RAW TEXT FORMAT:

You may purchase items from this table at any time and you will always do so privately.
no vote tag may have more than one prefix.
No player may normally be affected by multiples of the same prefix, with the notable exception being [POISON].
Scum receive the red-colored items and Town receives the green colored items--this difference in flavor is important.
Red-colored items will always resolve before their green colored counterparts.
If a player has 2 Insight banked, they will begin each day informed of how many scum and town roles are alive in the game.
If a player has 3 Insight banked, they will perform a self-watching action every night in addition to their other actions.
If a player has 4 Insight banked, at Night, they may non-consecutively flavor-cop a target player to learn all non-factional info they can; this will return scum player's fake-claim.
If a player has 5 Insight banked, Death Flips will always be revealed to them in full when any player is slain, regardless of if the Death Flip are obscured.
If a player has 6 Insight banked, once per night, they may ask me a non-factional, mechanical-oriented question about the initial setup--this question can not include or implicate any players specifically via their flavor or their role name. Furthermore, you may not ask questions regarding alignment with this question. This counts as the player's action for the night.
If a player has 7 Insight banked, Instead of performing ANY actions at night, they may discover how many scum players were on the previous day's lynch wagon.

You seek nightmares, and the secrets within, do you not?

I should have never told the old man that I found Nightmares to be interesting. My mother always taught me to never give much mind to strangers, but even as a child, I found myself fascinated by the beasts that lurked in my subconscious mind. While the waking world was a droll menagerie of schoolwork and routines, Nightmares provided a fascinating and anxious flight of fancy. Looking back, I know now that I relished Nightmares because no matter how the gnashing maw of my mind threatened me or how close I was to being skewered in those dreams, I would always wake up to the safety of my bed. If the fear still persisted, my mother would always soothe me with a small lullaby and a pat on the head. She would reassure me, "Son, your Nightmares can't hurt you." So, when I told the old man that I was fascinated in Nightmares, I never expected to meet one in the waking world.

Yharnam's name came to me as a last resort. "In Yharnam, Blood Ministers can heal any illness known to man!" "In Yharnam, they produce more blood than alcohol, as the former is far more intoxicating." "In Yharnam, mighty warriors strike down foul beasts and are paraded through the town as heroes." "In Yharnam..." It had gotten to the point that even my beloved mother was spinning these yarns my way. So, yes, I had heard tell of their both Yharnam's beasts and the fabled cure-all blood. While I'd seen an odd beast in my day, I still figured such a panacea was too good to be true. In a way, I was right.

Mother always told me that people fear most what they don't understand, for fear of the unknown is the greatest fear of them all. I wasn't welcome in Yharnam. Outsiders, I suppose, were that 'Unknown' thing to be feared. Despite that, I was ministered blood like any other willing patient. I signed the contract, dotted the line, and even gave them a pseudonym of mine, Guy Turncoat. Funny that; I can't recall my actual name anymore. As far as I know, I've been Guy Turncoat for years. In fact, it's hard to remember much since before I came to Yharnam, except being sick enough to need to be here in the first place.

I blame the reasons for the missing chapters of memory upon the Dream that I have awoken to. Ever since I received the Blood Ministration, I've found myself caught in a veritable Nightmare of my own. Beasts do indeed prowl the streets of Yharnam, and while death would be a sweet escape, every time that their fangs shred my throat and their claws pierce my heart, I startle awake, as if whisked from a dream. Instead of my childhood cot, I have found myself awakening in a graveyard beneath an old Hunter's Workshop. Instead of my mother, I can only find reassurance in a talking mannequin, who reassures me that I will, one day, transcend this dream.

The hunter here, a withered old man calling himself Gherman, has offered me any tool at the workshop to aide in what he calls 'The Hunt'. I've tried asking him what he means, and he simply insists that I must go out and kill beasts, for it is what a hunter does. For the last few weeks, I have become increasingly proficient at dispatching beasts and men alike, as both threaten to cut me down and cause me to awaken anew, facing down the same horde that I had just overcome.

There are those in the city who whisper through their windows and cry against their doors. I've heard the word 'Kos' only once, and, yet, it seems like a word much more important than even my old name. I've sifted through the notes in the Blood Ministration Clinic, and all that I can find that seems worth reading is an equally troubling and profound scrawl, "Seek Paleblood to Transcend the Hunt."

I do not profess to know what Paleblood is, nor the nature of this 'Kos', but the very knowledge that they both exist fills me with a sensation unlike any other. There is an urgency in my heart. Tonight, I grip tightly to the handle of my Saw Cleaver. Tonight, I have lined my pockets with vials of curative blood and loaded by pistol with quicksilver bullets. Tonight, I steel myself for the Hunt. My mother was right about many things, but she did get one wrong; your Nightmares can hurt you.

...It was nigh time that I started hurting them back.

Mother Kos, aligned with

The Cosmos

, has died on Night 0.
Her Role PM is as follows:

Mother Kos

When the carcass of Kos washed up on the coast, its insides were teeming with tiny parasites, unlike any found in humans.
You are aligned with the Scum Faction. Upon being Slain, you reward 8,000 Echoes.
Do you know why the Hunters are drawn to this Nightmare? Because it sprouted from their very misdeeds. You begin the game as the Host of the Hunter's Nightmare. [THIS ASPECT OF THIS ABILITY HAS BEEN OBSCURED DUE TO A HIDDEN EFFECT. A TERRIBLE SHAME.] If your Nightmare PT ever exceeds 3 players and you are not a member yet, you must invite yourself. Once per Day, you may trigger a single NIGHTMARE EVENT to happen on the following night. Doing so prevents you from performing any other action during the night of the NIGHTMARE EVENT. Every Great One loses its child, and then yearns for a surrogate. Upon dying, another player will become the Host of the Hunter's Nightmare PT, inheriting the previous ability listed. The role that inherits your Nightmare PT was predetermined before the game began. Lay the curse of blood upon them, and their children, and their children's children, for evermore. When the game begins, you will be slain. Nothing may prevent this. No players may gain Insight or Blood Echoes due to you being slain this way. Provost Willem sought the Cord in order to elevate his being and thoughts to those of a Great One, by lining his brain with eyes. [THIS ABILITY HAS BEEN OBSCURED DUE TO A HIDDEN EFFECT. A TERRIBLE SHAME.] NIGHTMARE EVENT : When the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child. [THIS ABILITY HAS BEEN OBSCURED DUE TO A HIDDEN EFFECT. A TERRIBLE SHAME.] NIGHTMARE EVENT : A bottomless curse, a bottomless sea, source of all greatness, all things that be. [THIS ABILITY HAS BEEN OBSCURED DUE TO A HIDDEN EFFECT. A TERRIBLE SHAME.] The sky and the cosmos are one. You are aligned with The Cosmos , a realm beyond the comprehension of mortal men. In order to win the game, [THIS ASPECT OF THIS WIN CONDITION HAS BEEN OBSCURED DUE TO A HIDDEN EFFECT. A TERRIBLE SHAME.] In the instance that your faction's numbers ever equal or exceed those of the town faction's (and there are no other factions left alive), your faction will automatically win the game.

Before we begin, a word from the Moderator:

This is the 'Prequel' phase--it exists for a number of reasons but, primarily, I want you to use this time to get comfortable with your role and the game mechanics.

During this phase, I highly encourage you to message me with any rules questions you have. If you ask anything about the public game mechanics, I will quote your question anonymously in this public game thread. In this way, we'll be able to work out any misunderstandings about the rules and create a sort of 'Frequently Asked Questions' document that should help everyone later in the game.

During this phase, I insist that every player reads the rules, even the general game rules that I have for this game. There are many unique caveats and rulings that you may not be familiar with, especially when it comes to action resolution and voting. I will

not

remind you of these rules once the actual game begins, so if you submit an action that doesn't work or if you botch your play because you aren't familiar with the rules, that's your fault.

During this phase, any player with access to a private topic may use that topic to chat with whoever else is in it. Hosts of Nightmare PTs may not post in their topics unless they are also a valid member of the PT.

During this phase, some roles may have abilities that function. This counts as the start of the game, so any abilities that function at gamestart work right now.

I also want to use this phase to highlight two very important aspects of this setup. I designed this game to encompass two central themes of Bloodborne;

Madness

and

The Hunt

.

In order to properly reflect

Madness

, I wanted to specifically focus on paranoia and the (often fruitless) search for the truth. I've integrated several different means of making it possible to punish claims and added so many mechanical elements that make players always question what others are telling them. Anonymous messages may impersonate other players, any player may essentially come to 'control' or even kill you if they find out the truth of your role. If people find out that you have Beasthood or high Insight, there are several ways they could gain an edge over you. I want players of every alignment to have to play a very careful game of lies, distrust, and hiding their true potential. More powerful roles offer more potent rewards, which makes even soft-claiming these roles very dangerous. Power should be hidden and secretive, working in dark ways--this is a goal of mine as a moderator but it is also a major theme of Bloodborne itself. The most powerful beings work in whispers and are hidden away from the eyes of the masses.

The Hunt

is also central to Bloodborne and, really, what I feel that Mafia is all about. In this game, players reward currencies when lynched or killed, which will draw all players to want to slay people who reward high payouts. Beasthood-carrying players and high Insight players are clear-cut targets and, furthermore, seem like scum/monsters by design. There are very few roles in this game that look like traditional 'town' roles; Bloodborne is a city of madmen, beasts, and killers. Players will elect a Master of the Hunt who will lead others in plundering flavor-heavy Chalice Dungeons and doing battle with the beasts that lie there. I want every player to feel as though the lynching and voting mechanics are representative of them taking their saw-cleaver to the streets and putting it to the throat of a perceived enemy. The 'lynchmob' mentality and the bloodlust that comes with it are central to the madness within Bloodborne--I want this highlighted as an aspect of this game. Players should feel heavily incentivized to hunt strong fiends, using all tools at their disposal to wield power. Players will want to bolster their votes so they can overwhelm other players in the game as well as the beasts that lurk in the Chalice Dungeons.

My chief concern is that players will play this game in a mechanically 'safe' way, undermining both of these concepts. This setup is not designed to be played 'safely'. This setup will actively punish you for claiming. This setup will grind you into the dust if you try to find some mechanically sound way to skirt by. Safe play is, by design, detrimental in Bloodborne Mafia--this is no secret; the public mechanics and items available in the shops should be reflective of the volatile nature of this setup. It may be just as much a mistake to scum read any player for a particular purchase as it would be to simply believe any claims and thereby sign your own death warrant. This is mafia, for the Bloodborne.

"

Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do!

The following question has been asked and added to the FAQs section:

How does the transform mechanic on weapons work?

Weapons all have two abilities;
The regular ability is the first one listed and it tied to your vote. To use it, use the bolded voting tag [WEAPON NAME: Player Name].
The Transformed ability is the second one listed and usually confers a special mechanic. To use it, use the bolded voting tag [TRANSFORMED WEAPON NAME: Player Name].
The distinction between these abilities is important--you can't use both at once. Furthermore, the 'Transformed' abilities of weapons will typically offer either different functionality or some sort of 'combo' with the effects granted by the regular ability weapons have.

I'll often use these bottom-of-the-page bumps to share some interesting secrets or trivia about the theme.
For now, though, have a quote from H.P. Lovecraft, author of many novels which inspired Bloodborne's setting;

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

If you have any questions about the flavor of Bloodborne, just ask me, either privately or in this thread.
For many of you who are not familiar with the flavor, it should not be a mystery or huge investigation to figure out something you want to know.
Knowing the flavor may help players in this game, but only marginally.

Can you add some flavor to each quest?

In Yharnam's underground, there runs a wide and long expanse of ruins. Frighteningly old, it is believed to have been made by something not human, perhaps as a grave, even maybe a resting place. Moreover, it is said that these ruins change form depending on its passersby. In the days of old, these places were explored by tomb prospectors and students of the divine, and it was in these dungeons that the divine Truth was discovered. Nowadays, through means of a ritual connected to a Holy Chalice, Hunters descend into these ruins to slay beasts and partake in communion.

The most well known and frequented dungeon is Pthumerian dungeon. The old labyrinth was carved out by the Pthumerians, superhuman beings that are said to have unlocked the wisdom of the eldritch Truth. This ancient society was home to an old Monarch, but has since been overrun with beasts. It is said that the city of Yharnam itself is named for an old Pthumerian Queen, and that the blood that flows through Yharnam's streets can be traced back to her. The monsters that stalk the halls of the Pthumeru dungeons are shells of their former selves, yet it is a mistake to incur their fiery wrath--however, many hunters find themselves felled by traps before ever witnessing the beasts that slumber deep within this place.

The Hintertombs are the peripheral catacombs of the old underground labyrinth. To this day, the Watchers continue to expand the hintertombs, unceremonious catacombs filled with graves and death. Madmen report that this is a poisonous and terrible hollow, but their words do nothing to staunch the flow of adventurous Hunters and tomb prospectors that leave for this place.

Loran is a tragic land that was devoured by the sands. The tragedy that struck this ailing land of Loran is said to have its root in the scourge of the beast--some have made the dreaded extrapolation that Yharnam will be next. There are trace remains of medical procedures in parts of ailing Loran. Whether these were attempts to control the scourge of the outbreak, is unknown. This windswept land is home only to horrific beasts that command lightning. It is from this place that the darkbeasts were hunted, which led to Archibald of the Healing Church's invention of many electrified weapons and tools to aide in the hunt.

Isz is the most recently discovered tomb among the four. The Great Isz Chalice became the cornerstone of the Choir, the elite delegation of the Healing Church. It was also the first Great Chalice brought back to the surface since the time of Byrgenwerth, and allowed the Choir to have audience with Ebrietas. It may be said that this discovery is what led to the current state of the Healing Church, and that many of the augurs and spirits commanded by Brygenwerth Scholars and Choir members alike were found in the tombs of Isz.

This game has a number of references to Demon's Souls;
The fluted armor set can be found in a Chalice Dungeon, slumped against the wall identically to how it appears on the cover of Demon's Souls,
In the Alpha, a certain boss would murmur 'Umbasa' after killing the player,
The bell-ringing Mindflayers make a return in Bloodborne, in part as the Bell Ringing Women in Chalice Dungeons and the Brainsuckers that can be found throughout Yharnam,
A particular boss wields a sword with striking resemblance to the Soulbrandt weapon from Demon's Souls as well.
There are several other minor references and callbacks in boss design and even with voice actors being the same for similar character archetypes.

Having trouble with Bloodborne?
Aside from levelling up, there are quite a few hidden parameters you can fulfill to make life easier.
Any 'serrated' weapon has a hidden value will deal significantly more damage to beasts--so break out that Saw Cleaver or transform that Threaded Cane!
Furthermore, if you leave the game running for over 12 hours, every single boss will use less of their moves and become significantly easier.
If you're doing all these things and still having trouble, then all I can prescribe is a dose of tenacity for the nightmares to come.

The flavor/roleplay elements present in Chalice Dungeons will not supersede the purely mechanical elements--the flavor stuff is just there for fun.

That said, obviously, flavor knowledge will allow some players to gain an edge on others in this game, as some guesswork can be done to render items such as Shaman Bone Blade or [FIRE] votes more effective. This is one of the reasons that I brought up flavor claiming (and claiming in general) to be much more dangerous than it is in other games. For instance, If you claim a Beast-like character or use abilities that a Beast character would have, expect that other players will be capable of extrapolating that you are a BEASTHOOD holder and capable of being trounced by the [FIRE] mechanics.

The reason that I made flavor-claiming or even flavor-crumbing so punishable is twofold;
I've been frustrated at players thinking certain flavor vindicated them, but it would be a bit awkward to design a themed game where some protagonists are scum and others are not. It's possible, but then that just shifts the flavor-reliance to being scum-oriented. It doesn't fix the problem.
Secondly, Bloodborne is a game in which you never know many characters' true intentions. Several of the enemies you fight are simply men gone mad or pitiful creatures that have lost most their humanity. Almost every character is doing something they believe is right--or they exist beyond the scope of mortal understanding and morality. Even the allies that you can recruit have dark agendas and are susceptible to the scourge of beasts that plagues Yharnam. In this world, knowledge is power and paranoia is common. I want players to hold fast to their identities and be worried that if someone discovers they are a beast or that they employ some sort of mechanic, they may be slain or puppeteered.

I believe the mechanics I have employed here are a far more flavorful fix for the issues theme games tend to have. I hope it all creates an interesting game for you to play.

One of the interesting things about Bloodborne is the ways in which is mechanically incentivizes the player acting in a frenzied or bloodthirsty way:
Visceral Attacks reward more echoes.
Attacking enemies, even for a few seconds after they are dead, will allow you to 'rally' and regain health.
Killing some NPCs allows the player to gain access to weapons and items far before they would normally be able to.
All of this, culminated with the fact that the villagers in town call you a beast when you kill them, may all point to you being the real monster here.

Making something personal or taking something personally is contrary to the nature of the game.
Please, just focus on the game. If someone gives you a hard time in the game-space, realize that's within the game space and doesn't reflect on either of you as people.

Several enemies in Bloodborne react uniquely to fire.
The three most effective uses I've found are;
1. The monsters in Old Yharnam cower in front of a flame.
2. The nightmare beasts that explode into centipede monsters will not do so if you defeat them with fire.
3. Beasts typically take much more damage from fire. Molotovs are always worth carrying around.

I'd appreciate if we could leave the whole emotionally-charged stuff aside, although it does have a place in games. I won't force-replace someone out unless the violate the rules of the game, though. Please try to keep out-of-game material out of the game. You can make theory and discussion threads in post-game if a topic comes up, but, please, focus on the game at hand rather than tertiary conversations that arise from it.

Furthermore, it seems as though I may need to find a replacement for the Bogre slot. If that is the case, I will extend the deadline to a total of 7 days remaining once the replacement is found in order to give them proper time to familiarize with the rules and catch up.

I personally find it very frustrating for player slots to effectively be 'empty' and have to be lynched due to policy. I designed the roles in this game to function with players actually playing them, and so when any role is removed from the game without having been really played, I feel slighted as a moderator.

In SaGa Frontier Mafia, when I had to mod-kill the Alkaizer role, I felt as though a major part of the setup had been thrown out of the window without ever getting to see it in play. While every game does have early lynches and kills that do snuff out a role's capability, at least the role gets played.

That said, I can not stop you all from deciding that you want to lynch any slot. My position on the entire ordeal is only important to inform how I will be accommodating a replace-in; you should still lynch any slot that you feel is worth lynching.

Don't take my comments to be reflective of the alignment or the power of Bogre's role. I would say the same bit for any completely inactive slot that was being policy lynched.

I designed the setup to be played, however, and when players sign up but do not play and their slots are policy lynched, it weakens the game as a whole. I will do what I can as a moderator to avoid a scenario where several roles I designed to be integral to a fun game are essentially just not in the game at all.

Once again, I will not do anything to stop everyone from lynching any slot. The game revolves around that. I just wanted to let people know that I will be more than accommodating when it comes to replacements.

If you'll recall, the Alkaizer role that was modkilled in SaGa Frontier was probably the strongest town role in the game.
My comments about accommodating replacements go for any role and any slot. Don't take this to mean that Bogre's role is especially powerful, unique, or pivotal to the game any more than any other role.

Under the cloak of night, I got to work. I was surprised to find that many other hunters like myself were willing to cooperate in ridding Yharnam of its beasts. Under their tutelage, I was spurned on towards the vast catacombs that lie beneath the city itself. The other hunters called this place Pthumeru, and warned that it may seem like an easy place to conquer on my first visit, the depths of the place held secrets and danger far beyond anything that walked the surface of the city.

One of the fellow hunters left me with a Chalice and a flask filled with what he called 'Ritual Blood'. Upon filling the Chalice with this blood, I found myself capable of awakening in ancient Pthumeru's halls rather than Yharnam's streets. As I lifted the foreboding stone door, cobwebs and dust were unsettled into the atmosphere. At that moment, a piercing cry split the silence of the night. Deep within my stomach, I felt as though terrible deeds was underway somewhere else in Yharnam.

With a sharp breath, I collected my courage and stepped forward. This place would be my training grounds. Once I emerged from Pthumeru, I would be ready for the beasts that prowl Yharnam. At the very least, these were the promises I told myself, knowing that the only darkness of this place would be the one thing I was assured to leave with.

I returned from the ancient crypt stronger than ever before. The blood invigorated me--the stories were all true! The beasts and the blood were all interlinked, all there to harrow and build mankind into something stronger, faster, and prepared. Forged through the so-called "Hunter's Communion," I was beggining to see why many hunters treaded the halls of Pthumeru. It was the only way I could steel myself for the horrors to come in Yharnam. I pushed open the thick iron doors of the city and welcomed The Hunt.

I effortlessly dispatched many beasts on my way deep into Oedon Chapel, spurned on by naught but bloodshed and instinct. When I finally came to my senses, I was standing before a mighty creature in the last moments of its life. Someone, or something, had gotten here first. The wounds on the beast were many, as if an entire legion of men broke into this sanctuary to kill the creature. I opened my mouth to speak and the nearly dead creature's thousand eyes looked directly into my own. I fled from the scene, feeling as if I had glimpsed at something forbidden, even by Yharnam's standard. That

thing

was no beast. Yharnam was home to something far more profane than wolves and men.

Maggot-like corpses the size of rats littered the pathways of my egress. Only now do I realize that they must have been that creature's spawn. As my mind gnawed at why the Church would keep such a thing, I stumbled over corpses of men and beast alike only to find myself witness to a pack of hunters prowling at the edges of what seemed to be a bloodthirsty duel. From what I could gather, two entities were clashing in the streets, but my mind reeled as I wondered if they were even human at all. I left the scene--one or the other would be dead by the night, I knew it. I would have no part in such mad reverie.

As I departed, I was called to a window where I met a man who went by the name of Gilbert. Upon inquiring about Paleblood, Gilbert seemed unsure, and directed me to the Church, as all blood flows in Yharnam flows through the Holy place. It seemed as though Gilbert was none the wiser to the secrets beneath Oedon. Perhaps it was time that I unraveled them for myself.

Varsoon · Post Post #2331 (isolation #67) » Fri Jun 03, 2016 8:18 pm

Bogre's role has flipped. It is as follows:

Spoiler:

Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos

Once, a group of young Byrgenwerth scholars discovered a holy medium deep within the tomb of Isz. This led to the founding of the Healing Church, and the establishment of blood healing. In this sense, everything sacred in Yharnam can be traced back to Ebrietas.
You are aligned with the Scum Faction. Upon being Slain, you reward 6,000 Echoes.
Do you know why the Hunters are drawn to this Nightmare? Because it sprouted from their very misdeeds. You begin the game as the Host of the Hunter's Nightmare. For every 2 town players you invite to the Nightmare PT, you gain 1 Insight. You may only invite a single player at a time to the Hunter's Nightmare, but may recruit once during both day and night phases. If your Nightmare PT ever exceeds 3 players and you are not a member yet, you must invite yourself. Once per Day, you may trigger a single NIGHTMARE EVENT to happen on the following night. Doing so prevents you from performing any other action during the night of the NIGHTMARE EVENT. The rite failed to achieve its intended purpose, but instead created a small exploding star, now a powerful part of the Choir's arsenal. This power only has three shots per game. Vote for up to 1/5 (minimum 1) the current living players with the tag [MOONLIGHT] to cause them to be unable to take any actions so long as the [MOONLIGHT] vote tag is on them. This tag is equal to two votes as well. This ability does not allow you to lynch multiple players. The first player tagged with a [MOONLIGHT] vote that would be lynched by this ability will be the only lynch for the day. NIGHTMARE EVENT : Night of the Living Failures All players in the Hunter's Nightmare incur a [MOONLIGHT] tag at the start of day phase, but gain 2 insight. This event creates the Nightmare Boss, The Living Failures, which require 6 total votes to defeat. This Nightmare Boss functions identically to how Chalice Dungeon Bosses do. If defeated, any who voted against this Nightmare Boss will gain 2000 Echoes and may purchase the Parasite of Kos even if it has already been sold. NIGHTMARE EVENT : "The Secret of the Great Kosm" You may only activate this event if both Simon and Maria are dead. All players in the Hunter's Nightmare gain 3 Insight. This event creates the Nightmare Boss, The Orphan of Kos, which will require 10 total votes to defeat. This Nightmare Boss functions identically to how the Chalice Dungeon Bosses do. If defeated, any who voted against this Nightmare Boss will gain 5000 Echoes, 1 extra insight, and begin the day with an [ORPHAN] vote on them. If any player in the Neighborhood takes a night action, their action will instead fail and they will begin the next day with an [ORPHAN] vote on them. [ORPHAN] votes power is equal to 1/2 the votes required to lynch a player. A player can not have more than one [ORPHAN] vote on them. Players who have their night actions fail in this way gain 5000 Blood Echoes and 4 total insight (which can total up to 5 if they fought the Orphan) from this event. The sky and the cosmos are one. You are aligned with The Cosmos , a realm beyond the comprehension of mortal men. In order to win the game, all threats to The Cosmos must be slain. In the instance that your faction's numbers ever equal or exceed those of the town faction's (and there are no other factions left alive), your faction will automatically win the game.

I found myself lost in a reverie, staring at the moon hanging full over Yharnam. A single arrow arched through the sky and, after it came down, the lynchmob behind me fell deathly silent. I imagined a lone hunter atop a church spire, sniping down the madmen that drove Yharnam to its pitiful state. For a moment, I felt happy, knowing someone out there was capable of hushing the madness of this city.

Then, it occurred to me that such fantasies were wishful thinking. The hushed murmurs of Yharnam grew into a frenzied howl once more, and any hope I had for a guardian in these streets was lost. Whoever sent that arrow flying could just as easily pierce my heart. I descended into the city once more, keeping myself out of open areas for fear of being the next victim or losing myself in watching the Moon once more.

In Old Yharnam, a hunter shoots at you with a gatling gun! Proceeding through the level normally usually culminates in a difficult fight with this hunter.
However, if you do not kill him and instead enter Old Yharnam from the doors found after the Darkbeast Paarl boss fight, you can approach him and he will be friendly, offering advice, gestures, and useful items.

"A trick weapon typically used by Healing Church hunters. It is said that the silver sword was employed by Ludwig, the first hunter of the church. When transformed, it combines with its sheath to form a greatsword. It exhibits several departures from the workshop's design, suggesting that the Church anticipated much larger inhuman beasts."

Leading lynches on your entire scumteam is not a modkillable offense. I've been in many games where scum have used this strategy. I've bussed my entire team before as well. If the goal is to win town trust and eventually culminate in a scum win, it's perfectly valid.
Starting the game and claiming scum, then claiming the members of your scumteam is a modkillable offense.

When I finally caught my breath, my gaze turned skyward once more to a tower that was never there before. It seemed to pierce the sky, climbing ever closer to an engorged pale moon that hung behind it. I averted my gaze and tightened my grip on the Saw Cleaver at my side. This was not real. This was another mad dream, blueprinted by scholars and made real by fanatics, each brick laid a testament to the sanity lost making this place. Empty cradles lie scattered about this place, suggesting a madness that was beyond even what I had expected from Yharnam. With no other option before me, I carved a path through the horrors and scaled the tower.

It was not long before I happened upon what surely must be the source of this place's madness--a spire of this tower, laden with windows, would pulse with a filthy titian light. Every time it did, my head felt as though it was collapsing in on itself and cold blades slipping through my back. The pain overwhelmed me and I tore beasts, stone, and everything else in my path apart until I could be freed of the

thing's

gaze. My cleaver hacked through the limbs and filament of everything in my way until I was finally capable of standing truly alone in that nightmare.

That is when the ravings of another being snapped me from my hunting reverie--there was another human here! As I pursued the voice, I could see his robes, fluttering out of sight and around each corridor as I closed in. He howled with delight, taunting me evermore and almost singing entreatments to names such as Kos and Vacuous Rom. When I was finally upon him, my blade sunk deep into his chest. He looked at me from behind an iron cage he had upon his head, horror staining his expression. His last words a dreadful realization, "No! Now I am waking up! I'll forget

everything

..."

With that, he vanished, and I soon awoke from the nightmare. I was in Yharnam once more, in some subterranean place I must have fled to just prior to awakening in the madman's dream. Surrounding me were the corpses of hundreds, all wearing tall hexagonal cages upon their heads. I spat at the ground, cursing those dead men and their wrought iron cages that must have surely delivered them to such a nightmarish realm.

As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy.
You are aligned with the Town Faction. Upon being Slain, you reward 6,000 Blood Echoes
Ahh, Kos, or some say Kosm... Do you hear our prayers? You begin the game as the Host of the Nightmare of Mensis. For every 2 players you invite to the Nightmare PT, you gain 1 Insight. Every night, you may invite 2 players to your Nightmare PT. If your Nightmare PT ever exceeds 3 players and you are not a member yet, you must invite yourself. No, we shall not abandon the dream. After your death, you may still invite a single player to your Nightmare PT each night. Even if you die, you may still trigger your Nightmare Events. No one can catch us! No one can stop us now! Once per Day, you may trigger a single NIGHTMARE EVENT to happen on the following night. Doing so prevents you from performing any other action during the night of the NIGHTMARE EVENT. NIGHTMARE EVENT: An Audience with Mergo You may kill a single player in the Nightmare of Mensis PT. All other members gain 1 Insight. NIGHTMARE EVENT: Majestic! A hunter is a hunter, even in a dream. The nightmare swirls and churns unending! You may cause yourself and a single other player in your Nightmare PT to be unable to perform actions or be targeted by actions. You both gain 1 Insight. All other members of the Nightmare PT cannot perform non-killing actions this night. AWOOOOOOO~! The following post restrictions are in effect regarding posts that you make in the Nightmare of Mensis PT: Every fifth post that you make must only contain a quote from Micolash. Every tenth post must contain only the word 'AWOOO!' or a variation of it. If you do not follow this restriction, I will edit your posts accordingly. Seek Paleblood to transcend the Hunt. You are aligned with Yharnam , Home of Blood Ministration. In order to win the game, all threats to Yharnam must be slain. In order to win the game, at least one Yharnam-aligned player must be alive.

I have some unfortunate news.
Some of you may know that I am moving out of my apartment this weekend (and moving in with fellow scummer, I_Am_Not_Varsoon).
However, due to an unexpected change in my availability during this time, I will not be able to adequately have the online presence I typically do when resolving the Night Phase and moving the day into the Day Phase. Some of you may not be keen on this, but it takes me upwards of four hours of direct attention and involvement for me to handle everything that comes with shifting this game from day to night and vice-versa.

While I do have a co-mod (Aeronaut, who is wonderful, btw), it would be very unfair to everyone to force this obligation onto my co-mod.

For this reason, I am suspending the night phase. I expect to be fully moved in and ready to handle the flips by Tuesday, June 14th at the latest.
Once again, I apologize for this extended night phase. Feel free to submit night actions all the way until the amended deadline.
I hope that I can continue to deliver the quality game experience that you have come to expect.
Thank you for your consideration,

...we did not expect to find the vicar alone in the church. Despite being flanked by a dozen hunters, an oppressive chill stopped us in our tracks. We circled her, the woman's frail prayers falling upon deaf ears. I took a step forward and the cold was banished by a searing heat as she transformed before our eyes. I was thrown to the floor, covered in blood, witness to the truth of the Beast as the vicar proved to be a foul creature far beyond anything I had faced in the hunt before.

As she turned to face me, my consciousness slipped. Was I already dead? Was I just to awaken in the dream once more?
By the time I returned to the church, the hunt was finished. All that was left in those hollowed halls was blood, sinew, and the lingering malice of the Hunt. I came to the church to find answers, but the only discoveries to be made here resulted in more questions than I could begin to answer.

There was an error regarding the anonymously sent messages on Night 2.
Some messages did not send right away, and a few ended up sent to the wrong player.
The game should still be fine to continue without any force-replacements or similar moderator action.
The anonymity of the messages does keep them from this being a huge issue, but
Every intended target should have received their respective messages at this point.
That said, please play forward with understanding that some of these messages have been sent incorrectly at first.

I was asked to clarify:
The Blood Rock (or Transcendence) item both upgrade your vote to being worth 2 votes.
This modifies your NAMED vote. It stacks with other effects that modify your named vote, too. So the Hunter's Axe that votes twice for one player would render 4 votes if you also had the Blood Rock//Transcendence.
Blood Rock//Transcendence will NOT change the values for voting effects that specifically edit voting power. For instance, Rylai and Lina's Brador role had access to The Bloodletter, which could submit a special vote with 'enough voting power to place the voted player at L-1'.

"Perfect timing. I must warn you not to go near the tomb below Oedon Chapel in the Cathedral Ward. Henryk, an old hunter, has gone mad.
And he's my mark..."

Despite the old Crow Hunter's warning, I found myself at Oedon Tomb, Saw-Cleaver at the ready. If Hunters were going mad, I wouldn't let them prey on whatever innocents may be left in this city. A fine mist settled into the area and I took a sharp breath as I settled on my vantage point atop a twisted oak tree. The minutes dragged on painfully slow as I worried that, at any moment, this mad hunter's silver bullets may pierce my chest and claim me as another victim of The Hunt...

...but the shots never came. When the mist swept away from the gravesite, I found Henryk dead as a doornail, lying among the corpses of many other hunters. When poking around the corpse to make sure it was the man I was looking for, the Crow Hunter nearly made me shriek with how suddenly she appeared behind me, her crooning voice almost mocking,

"Seems as though you got here first, Hunter."

I shook my head and explained that this was not my doing. Beneath her mask, I felt she was grimacing. Something else had slaughtered Henryk, and it didn't stick around to chat.

As I made my way from the graveyard and up to the Cathedral ward, I nearly slipped and fell down the church steps. As I got my wits about me, I discovered that the steps themselves were covered in splashes of blood, as if a mighty battle had taken place. I carefully ascended the stairs and came across none other than the Crow Hunter, Eileen, wounded and laid against a stone column.

With her dying breath, she bade me to not lose myself to the Hunt like other Hunters before me. Eileen wished that I could see The Hunt out to its end. She explained that she no longer dreamed, and that his death would be her last. Something gripped at my lungs, keeping me from responding. Was it fear? Would I meet a same fate, bloodily discarded upon Yharnam's streets? Nevertheless, there was something relieving about knowing that Eileen was finally free of the Hunt, and no longer had to suffer the madness that saw her very allies turn against her.

It was not long before the beasts of the night were upon us. I valiantly defended Eileen, brandishing my saw cleaver against the horrors that would encroach on this solemn moment of death.

Once I had dealt with the wolves, I turned to find Eileen, only to realize she had left. I chased after her bloody bootprints until the disappeared, as if she had taken flight. I still wonder what happened to her, silently hoping she had somehow escaped Yharnam after all.

Not far from where I had found myself now, I came across another hunter, wounded and dying. He claimed to be known as 'Simon', and I recognized nigh-immediately that the weapon at his side must have been the bow that rained arrows down upon Yharnam just earlier in the night. He told me of a mighty battle between him and a creature that was no beast at all, but a horror borne of man's depravity. He asked me to leave him to die, and wished that I would put an end to Yharnam's curse now that the veil had been pulled down. I found his words curious, but soon realized what he meant--horrors that I once only glimpsed in nightmares were now walking the streets. In some way, I knew they were always there, only hidden until now.

I finally realized what Eileen meant--the Hunt was never meant to be against beasts or our fellow man, but against the horrors that warped Yharnam itself into such an accursed place.

...A terrible shame. It makes my head shudder uncontrollably. As long as you are alive, roles will not flip upon death. Instead, lynches will flip at the end of the Night Phase and Kills will flip at the end of the day phase. You gain access to these rolecards when they would normally flip.

This ability does not extend to role-related abilities that cause a public effect upon death; Players will still be rewarded with Echoes and/or Insight as they normally should, and any other public aspects of a flip still occur. Master Willem was right. Evolution without courage will be the ruin of our race. You count as a GREAT OLD ONE for any mechanical effects that interact with GREAT OLD ONES. You will investigate as scum. As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. You begin the game with 4 Insight.

It was not long before I happened upon another bloody scene. In a clearing in the woods, several hunters had cornered a man that I recognized--it was the Church Executioner, Alfred! By the time I made it to his side, his assailants had fled, and Alfred was in a dire state. In the past, Alfred aided me in the hunt against many beasts and had offered advice on this unholy night. Now, he was little more than a bloody, bruised mess of a man. I lifted him upon my shoulder and brought him back to the nearby church, hoping that we could find sanctuary from the beasts and madmen who would end our lives.

Alfred choked down blood as he explained that he was hot on the trail of the Vilebloods, but that he let his zeal overcome him. In his last moments, he decried the entire hunt, calling it a madman's game and a sick affair. I had sworn earlier that I did not wish to see another friend or ally perish to the hunt, and yet, here I was, listening to the last words of someone I knew to be a stronger hunter than I. His dying breaths bade me to seek out and hunt down the Vilebloods--that it was their very cursed blood that had started this all in the first place.

I do not know if there was truth in his words, but such doubts would not stall me as I made my way for the Vileblood castle, Cainhurst. I needed answers, and more than anything, this task gave me purpose. I set out, leaving Alfred with a silent prayer, wishing that he'd find peace beyond the bloody life he had here in Yharnam.

I found myself returning to places I had been, finding them warped and monstrous--even moreso than they were upon first exposure. Massive abominations perched atop the spires of the church looked down upon me, as if expectantly watching an ant go about its work. I did not let it unnerve me.

I soon returned to the clinic that this all began at, only to find a number of peculiarities. The doors were kicked open, as if this place had been raided. Furthermore, I recalled memories of a woman who wished me luck in the Hunt from the other side of a clinic door with a soft, reassuring voice. Upon my return, I found her slain, her insides writhing with parasitic creatures. Was even she a part of this monstrous affair? The tables of her clinic were lined with monstrous patients--some beastlike, others entirely alien in appearance. Was she trying to cure them, or had she made them this way? I shuddered as I asked myself that question, wishing I had not entertained the idea at all, and made quick egress from the place.

Upon returning to the Hunter's Dream that I had awoken to long ago, I found the Doll tending to a hunter's grave. She solemnly expressed sentiments for a hunter that had passed away long ago, yet whose spirit could not find rest. For some reason, I felt the doll had a true connection with whoever this female hunter was, and in a moment of silence, I vowed that I would not fill yet another one of the hundreds of graves that marked this place, remembered only in the forlorn words of the Doll.

You're soon off to hunt, I presume? Then, if you find any survivors, tell them to seek Iosefka's Clinic. During each day, you may target a player to inform them that they will be rewarded upon slaying other town members. They will receive a message that simply recounts this ability's flavor name and informs them they will be rewarded upon slaying town players. If a player you have targeted with this ability slays another town player, they will receive the following rewards for each player slain: I'll even offer a reward for your co-operation. Tempted? Well, off you go then. Upon slaying their first town non-Beasthood player; A Blood Vial. Your Blood Vial can be used to protect oneself from being killed during the phase that it is used. If used at Night, your Blood Vial will protect oneself from being slain. Players may only ever carry a single Blood Vial at a time. If a player is ever given a second Blood Vial while they already have one, they will be given a choice. The treatment is going well, stabilized, for the most part. Fascinating, really. Here you are, as promised. Upon slaying their second town non-Beasthood player; A Numbing Mist, identical to the one gained from the Insight shop. What would I ever do without you? You're really making a difference. Upon slaying their third town non-Beasthood player; A Lead Elixir. This Lead Elixir, when consumed, makes oneself unable to be affected by other role-based mechanics during the current and subsequent phase. I've received another patient. This time, I'll be trying old blood. I've achieved much. And I owe it all to you. Take this, as thanks. Upon slaying any player with Beasthood; A Blue Elixir. The Blue Elixir, when consumed, makes oneself both unable to submit any other actions and unable to be targeted by any other actions. If used during the day, this effect will also make the player unable to be voted for, but the effect will end if they vote or use any abilities. The Blue Elixir's vote-immunity effect does not function in LYLO. Ah, moonlit scents. How did you worm your way in here? Well, I won't make any excuses. Every time that a player you have targeted with your previous ability slays another town player, you both gain 1 Insight. God, it feels awful. But, it proves that I'm chosen. Don't you see? How they writhe, writhe inside my head... It's... rather... rapturous. If, at any point in the game, you have 5 Insight, you will lose access to all previous abilities on your role PM. By using phantasms, the invertebrates known to be the augurs of the Great Ones, one may partially summon abandoned Ebrietas. Day-use, target a player. You must publicly use the bolded tag [AUGUR OF EBRIETAS: Player Name]. That player may not vote and your votes will count as double against that player the next time you vote for them. You may only affect a single player with this ability at any given time. Seek Paleblood to transcend the Hunt. You are aligned with Yharnam , Home of Blood Ministration.

The college, once bustling with scholars and academics, was now only populated by mounds of research material, scattered notes, and monstrous abominations that stalk about mindlessly. I poured over the materials I found there, trying to find something worthwhile--but it all seemed like a madman's ravings. Discoveries in the ancient tombs lead to a meeting with the divine. A great schism led to the foundation of the Healing Church, all over how blood should be ministered. The Master of Brygenwerth knew the madness that blood would bring. After all, he'd seen what became of those ruined civilizations that Yharnam was built atop of. Willem pursued insight that would allow him to become more like the divine, but did it really afford him the perception he desired? Several texts were dedicated solely to the pursuit of lining the brain with eyes--I found myself wondering how literal the statement was. In another book I found an even more disturbing scrawl;

"When the red moon hangs low, the line between man and beast is blurred. And when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with a child."

As I left the place, it was made clear that I had been followed. An old, astute hunter had tracked me down to this place, axe in hand. He growled beneath his breath, "Not many left... You'll be a beast, soon, too." He stepped out from the shadows, fresh blood glistening on his church attire. Suddenly, he was upon me, axe in the air...

...and then he collapsed, the blood apparently from his own wounds. He muttered a barely comprehensible sentence, with words I could only understand because I had heard them long ago. In his final moment, it was as if he had a moment of lucidity and he had come all this way solely to impart the words onto me;

"Seek Paleblood to transcend the Hunt."

I pushed ever onward, spurned forth by the will of every hunter that had come before me. If Paleblood was the means of escaping this harrowing affair, I would seek it to the ends of the Earth. If not in this reality, I would find it beyond the waking world. An overwhelming gravity pulled at my heart, as if what I sought was just out of reach.

Brygenwerth's tomes imparted the knowledge of various dreaming worlds--of nightmares that a hunter may escape into; realities akin to our own but twisted as our very dreams may be. I began my hunt for these nightmares, only to discover myself caught in one already.

It was there that I came across a mighty beast, impaled against a wall. I approached cautiously, as its imposing frame still flexed and shuddered despite the spear through its chest. It let loose a throaty growl, only to startle me by speaking. "Hunter. Destroy those who made us this way. Seek the Paleblood. End this miserable affair."

With that, he expired. I had known men to become beasts, but I had always thought beasts to be a forgone lot, incapable of thought. They were never anything but hunters for whom the Hunt had subsumed entirely. I would not fall to such an ironic, monstrous fate. And yet, I felt the worst was yet to come, prowling just beyond my senses, hounding me, torturing my very soul...

Perhaps The Hunt never offered solidarity and was always this harrowing and, yet, I look back fondly on those more innocent days before everything was broken.

Even proud Valtr, master of The League of Hunters was one of the dead men I discovered. I silently hoped that he had died as he lived, a hunter of beasts, although the thought occurred to me that he must have felt the same despair and madness that I have. Yharnam was no sanctuary for any sane mind anymore.

Nevertheless, I must forge onward. I would not be perturbed by the state of Yharnam, the failures of its Hunters, and the decay of its sanity. I would emerge victorious. There simply were no other options.

Toogeloo was killed during Night 6. He was

Valtr, Master of The League

, aligned with

Yharnam

Valtr's entire role functions as follows:

Spoiler: VALTR

Valtr, Master of The League

The League exists to expunge all vermin, ridding us of any trace of human corruption.
You are aligned with the Town Faction. Upon being Slain, you reward 2,000 Blood Echoes
HAVEN'T YOU SEEN ENOUGH OF THESE WRETCHED BEASTS, FREAKISH SLUGS, AND MAD DOCTORS? You are the starting member and master of an organization called 'The League'. Each Night, you may invite a player to be a member of The League. They may decline this offer. The message sent to the player will include this ability's flavor text and will state that they will be rewarded for joining your ranks. This bloody fate is ours alone. During the Night Phase, you may communicate with all members of The League via a neighborhood PT. After your death, remaining members of The League may still use this Neighborhood PT. Sentence these fiends to death. League Members who slay any other player will gain 'VERMIN', a resource that they may use to purchase various rewards. After your death, remaining members of The League may still make these purchases: IMPURITY RUNE - 0 Vermin: You require one more vote to lynch so long as you are a part of a Neighborhood PT with other living members. LEAGUE OATH - 1 Vermin: Night Use, target a player. If they are a member of The League, they may not take any actions that affect you negatively during the Night Phase. CONSTABLE'S GARB - 2 Vermin: Slaying scum, any player with 3 or more Insight, or any Beasthood-using player will grant you double echoes. MASTER'S IRON HELM - 5 Vermin: Each night, you will be informed of how many Scum, players with 3 or more Insight, and/or Beasthood Players are left in the game. Only one player may ever have access to the Master's Iron Helm at a time--if the possessor dies, it will be available for purchase again. If the original Master of the League is dead, this item will also allow the owner to invite a new member to The League each night. Seek Paleblood to transcend the Hunt. You are aligned with Yharnam , Home of Blood Ministration. In order to win the game, all threats to Yharnam must be slain. In order to win the game, at least one Yharnam-aligned player must be alive.

My warpath to discover the truth left nothing but corpses in its wake. Despite how powerful I had become, it felt as though there was means of delivering a fatal blow to the Nightmare that had unsettled this horrid place. It is said that the victor always strikes first, and, yet, the more that I learn about these so-called Gods, the more I discover that they have been here since time immemorial. I was borne into a losing fight; all of us were.

And despite that, I pushed on.
Despite the madmen's whispers that I would join their crazed ranks, I fought through the harrowing city.
Despite the death of every hunter before me, I carved my own path.
My final destination was discovered to be my very first; the innocent Hunter's Dream that I had once found sanctuary in was now home to the final arena that Yharnam would know. I had been so blind--the truth was always in that very dream. Just as it sustained hunters, it sustained The Hunt.

As I approached the top of the flower-laden hill, I saw the beast descend from the sky. In that moment, a weakness flushed over me. I could not do it. Nothing had prepared me for this fateful encounter. As it cradled me in its arms, I felt a new sense of belonging. Perhaps the Hunt was not so bad after all. I had found purpose there. I felt significant, for once. As the creature tightened its grip around me, there was no pain--only a sense of maternal comfort. I, like all Hunters before me, was a child of the Hunt. All the Hunters ever longed for was the Hunt. If it was a Hunt that these great beings desired, I would honor their wishes.

...and so, the Hunt begins again.

Ahh, Kos, or some say Kosm... Do you hear our prayers? You begin the game as the Host of the Nightmare of Mensis: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=66490 For every 2 players you invite to the Nightmare PT, you gain 1 Insight.

You are aligned with the Town Faction. Upon being Slain, you reward 4,000 Blood Echoes
Few hunters can resist the intoxication of the hunt. Look at you, just the same as all the rest... Slaying any town player will reward you with double the amount of Blood Echoes. HUNTER'S RUNE: This red-smudged rune means "Hunter", and has been adopted by those who have taken the Hunter of Hunters oath. If you die, you may designate another player to receive this rune. Double the amount of limited uses per day of any weapon effect. This effect may never cause you to be the single voting player on a lynch. In this way, even if you exceed the number of votes to lynch a player, another player must hammer. The badge of the Hunter of Hunters is quietly passed down from generation to generation, usually to an outsider from the hinterlands. You possess the item CROW HUNTER'S BADGE. If you are ever slain, the items available for purchase here will be added to the public BathMessenger Shop. You may purchase the following armor set privately with Blood Echoes; CROW HUNTER'S GARB: Costs 15,000 Echoes.

This vote is indicated by the tag BLADE OF MERCY: Player Name. TRANSFORMED: You may vote up to two times with the tag BLADE OF MERCY (TRANSFORMED): Player name; players voted in this way require one less vote to lynch for the remaining phase--you may stack this effect, but this will only ever apply a maximum of one vote on a player.

Spoiler: IOSEFKA

'Iosefka', the Imposter Doctor

This sickness, these beasts, they are not to be feared.
You are aligned with the Town Faction. Upon being Slain, you reward 8,000 Blood Echoes
You're soon off to hunt, I presume? Then, if you find any survivors, tell them to seek Iosefka's Clinic. During each day, you may target a player to inform them that they will be rewarded upon slaying other town members. They will receive a message that simply recounts this ability's flavor name and informs them they will be rewarded upon slaying town players. If a player you have targeted with this ability slays another town player, they will receive the following rewards for each player slain: I'll even offer a reward for your co-operation. Tempted? Well, off you go then. Upon slaying their first town non-Beasthood player; A Blood Vial. Your Blood Vial can be used to protect oneself from being killed during the phase that it is used. If used at Night, your Blood Vial will protect oneself from being slain. Players may only ever carry a single Blood Vial at a time. If a player is ever given a second Blood Vial while they already have one, they will be given a choice. The treatment is going well, stabilized, for the most part. Fascinating, really. Here you are, as promised. Upon slaying their second town non-Beasthood player; A Numbing Mist, identical to the one gained from the Insight shop. What would I ever do without you? You're really making a difference. Upon slaying their third town non-Beasthood player; A Lead Elixir. This Lead Elixir, when consumed, makes oneself unable to be affected by other role-based mechanics during the current and subsequent phase. I've received another patient. This time, I'll be trying old blood. I've achieved much. And I owe it all to you. Take this, as thanks. Upon slaying any player with Beasthood; A Blue Elixir. The Blue Elixir, when consumed, makes oneself both unable to submit any other actions and unable to be targeted by any other actions. If used during the day, this effect will also make the player unable to be voted for, but the effect will end if they vote or use any abilities. The Blue Elixir's vote-immunity effect does not function in LYLO. Ah, moonlit scents. How did you worm your way in here? Well, I won't make any excuses. Every time that a player you have targeted with your previous ability slays another town player, you both gain 1 Insight. God, it feels awful. But, it proves that I'm chosen. Don't you see? How they writhe, writhe inside my head... It's... rather... rapturous. If, at any point in the game, you have 5 Insight, you will lose access to all previous abilities on your role PM. By using phantasms, the invertebrates known to be the augurs of the Great Ones, one may partially summon abandoned Ebrietas. Day-use, target a player. You must publicly use the bolded tag [AUGUR OF EBRIETAS: Player Name]. That player may not vote and your votes will count as double against that player the next time you vote for them. You may only affect a single player with this ability at any given time. Seek Paleblood to transcend the Hunt. You are aligned with Yharnam , Home of Blood Ministration.

TURN BACK, OR THE HUNTER WILL FACE THE HUNT. During the day, you may activate this ability. In order to do so, simply post the flavor name for this ability in bold in the game thread. You become unable to use any other abilities or vote for the remainder of the day phase. Any player that targets you with a vote or an ability during the day will receive [HEAVY MACHINE GUN] votes equal to 1/2 the votes required to lynch a player. The late Powder Kegs, bless their souls, had a motto: "If a weapon ain't got kick, it just ain't worth it." You possess the item POWDER KEG HUNTER BADGE. If you are ever slain, the items available for purchase here will be added to the public BathMessenger Shop. You may purchase the following weapons privately with Blood Echoes; STAKE DRIVER : Costs 6000 Echoes. You may submit a [Stake Driver] vote on a player instead of your normal vote--this vote will always be rendered, regardless of ANY other abilities in play. TRANSFORMED: Once per day, you may cause your next [Stake Driver] vote to count as votes equal to 1/3 the required votes to lynch a player (minimum 2). You will indicate this with the bolded tag [PRIMED STAKE DRIVER: Player Name]. RIFLE SPEAR : Cost 6000 Echoes. You may submit a [Rifle Spear] vote on a player instead of your normal vote--this vote will never cause reactionary abilities to happen. TRANSFORMED: Night Use; Target a player. If that player does not take any actions, or if their actions failed for any reason, they will begin the day with a [Rifle Spear] vote on them that counts as two votes. You may purchase the following armor set privately with Blood Echoes; ASHEN HUNTER SET : Cost 8000 Echoes. You are immune to NUMBING MIST // SCOURGE OF THE BEAST. You may never gain any Beasthood. You may purchase the following consumable privately with Blood Echoes; FIRE PAPER : Cost 1000 Echoes. 1 shot. You may add the [FIRE] prefix to any voting action you perform. It now adds an extra vote, or two extra votes against anyone with Beasthood. Seek Paleblood to transcend the Hunt. You are aligned with Yharnam , Home of Blood Ministration.

OUR PREY MAY DIFFER, BUT WE ARE HUNTERS, THE BOTH OF US. Night Use, target a player. During the following Day and Night, you will recieve a unique COOPERATION NEIGHBORHOOD where you may communicate. WHY NOT COOPERATE AND DISCUSS THE THINGS WE'VE LEARNED? Players that are a part of your Cooperation Neighborhood gain 1.5 times the normal amount of Blood Echoes. Any day ending in a scum lynch will result in both members of the Cooperation Neighborhood gaining an extra point of Insight. LET US CLEANSE THESE TARNISHED STREETS Slaying any Scum, Beasthood-Using player, or Vileblood will reward you with 1.5 times as many Blood Echoes. This ability stacks with your other ability that multiplies how many Blood Echoes you receive, resulting in earning 3 times as many Blood Echoes. RADIANCE RUNE: The executioners despise the impure Vilebloods. Blood Vials will, in addition to their other effects, cause you to become untargetable during the duration of their protective effect. You may not ever be a member of the Vilebloods. If you die, the other player in your Cooperation Neighborhood will inherit this rune if they are not a member of a Vilebloods. The Wheel symbolizes righteous destiny. You possess the item WHEEL HUNTER BADGE. If you are ever slain, the items available for purchase here will be added to the public BathMessenger Shop. You may purchase the following weapon privately with Blood Echoes; LOGARIUS' WHEEL - 15,000 Echoes: Target any player who is not voting for you; that player receives a [Logarius Wheel] vote that counts as three votes. TRANSFORM: Every time you vote while this weapon is transformed, you permanently take one less vote to lynch to a minimum of 0, which will kill you. Every time you vote, your voting power is doubled for the current phase. You may purchase the following item privately with Blood Echoes; GOLDEN ARDEO - 20,000 Echoes: All votes effectively count as 1 vote less when targeting you. Not effective in LYLO.

...A terrible shame. It makes my head shudder uncontrollably. As long as you are alive, roles will not flip upon death. Instead, lynches will flip at the end of the Night Phase and Kills will flip at the end of the day phase. You gain access to these rolecards when they would normally flip. You may choose to cause any, or all, information in the rolecard to never publicly appear. This ability does not extend to role-related abilities that cause a public effect upon death; Players will still be rewarded with Echoes and/or Insight as they normally should, and any other public aspects of a flip still occur. Master Willem was right. Evolution without courage will be the ruin of our race. You count as a GREAT OLD ONE for any mechanical effects that interact with GREAT OLD ONES. You will investigate as scum. As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. You begin the game with 4 Insight. You may never spend Insight or gain access to Hunter's Weapons or Armor. You may still use consumables and tools, however. Metamorphosis, and the excesses and deviation that followed, was only the beginning. You do not control a normal vote. Your name will never appear in the Vote Counts as a voting player. Instead, you control three [SPIDER] votes that you may target players with. Your [SPIDER]s may be voted for and each requires 1/2 of the total votes to lynch in order to be slain. Your spiders confer no change to the game when slain, except to deprive you of votes. Even if all of your Spiders are slain, you will begin each day with 3 Spiders available.

Do you know why the Hunters are drawn to this Nightmare? Because it sprouted from their very misdeeds. You begin the game as the Host of the Hunter's Nightmare: http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=66497 For every 2 town players you invite to the Nightmare PT, you gain 1 Insight. You may only invite a single player at a time to the Hunter's Nightmare, but may recruit once during both day and night phases. If your Nightmare PT ever exceeds 3 players and you are not a member yet, you must invite yourself. Once per Day, you may trigger a single NIGHTMARE EVENT to happen on the following night. Doing so prevents you from performing any other action during the night of the NIGHTMARE EVENT. The rite failed to achieve its intended purpose, but instead created a small exploding star, now a powerful part of the Choir's arsenal. This power only has three shots per game. Vote for up to 1/5 (minimum 1) the current living players with the tag [MOONLIGHT] to cause them to be unable to take any actions so long as the [MOONLIGHT] vote tag is on them. This tag is equal to two votes as well. This ability does not allow you to lynch multiple players. The first player tagged with a [MOONLIGHT] vote that would be lynched by this ability will be the only lynch for the day. NIGHTMARE EVENT : Night of the Living Failures All players in the Hunter's Nightmare incur a [MOONLIGHT] tag at the start of day phase, but gain 2 insight. This event creates the Nightmare Boss, The Living Failures, which require 6 total votes to defeat. This Nightmare Boss functions identically to how Chalice Dungeon Bosses do. If defeated, any who voted against this Nightmare Boss will gain 2000 Echoes and may purchase the Parasite of Kos even if it has already been sold. NIGHTMARE EVENT : "The Secret of the Great Kosm" You may only activate this event if both Simon and Maria are dead. All players in the Hunter's Nightmare gain 3 Insight. This event creates the Nightmare Boss, The Orphan of Kos, which will require 10 total votes to defeat. This Nightmare Boss functions identically to how the Chalice Dungeon Bosses do. If defeated, any who voted against this Nightmare Boss will gain 5000 Echoes, 1 extra insight, and begin the day with an [ORPHAN] vote on them. If any player in the Neighborhood takes a night action, their action will instead fail and they will begin the next day with an [ORPHAN] vote on them. [ORPHAN] votes power is equal to 1/2 the votes required to lynch a player. A player can not have more than one [ORPHAN] vote on them. Players who have their night actions fail in this way gain 5000 Blood Echoes and 4 total insight (which can total up to 5 if they fought the Orphan) from this event. The sky and the cosmos are one. You are aligned with The Cosmos , a realm beyond the comprehension of mortal men. In order to win the game, all threats to The Cosmos must be slain.

Reasonably Irrational to Mixed6:

This is Reasonably Irrational. "Fugue" to confirm tomorrow.
I don't believe I have much new information to share that I haven't already, but I will clarify things I said yesterday for clarity's sake.

Spoiler: Role claim and information on the Vilebloods
We are Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods.

We can not die, and when we would die, we do not flip any information at all, and we do not reward any echoes, though we do still count as having been slain for all other purposes. We have not and will not claim this aspect of our role to anyone other than the two of you(by which I mean your mason pairing with Dwlee). We have confirmed with Varsoon that we retain access to all resources, weapons, and items gained prior to when we were slain after we have been slain, and there is no limit to the number of times we will revive, and no negative effect upon our slot when we would be killed.

We are the starting member and master of the Cairnhurst Vilebloods. Every night, we can invite someone to join the Vilebloods. We invited Randomidget on N1, he accepted, and we are going to invite Dwlee tonight. I was going to trust Dwlee to just share all this information with you, but I'm instead going to send you this to ensure you receive this information even in the event of the death of one of the parties involved.

Members of the vilebloods join our PT, which we may only speak in at night, and receive the following benefits:

Corruption Rune: The first time you would be hammered, you will require an additional vote to be hammered. This is a super version of loved. If someone votes enough times to exceed the threshold by 1 or more, it still doesn't lynch us. An additional vote needs to be cast by someone.

When a member slays a town player, they gain Blood Dregs. We do not know how many blood dregs are gained, because no member of the vilebloods has yet to participate in slaying of a town member, but I assume you gain one per town member slain.

Blood dreg may be spent as follows:

1: Gain 1 insight.
2: Other members may not target you with non-factionals.
3: Armor: No other players ability may cause you to require less votes to lynch. Yes, this is confirmation that there exists at least one ability in the game which may lower someones lynch threshold, and no one has mentioned such an ability affecting them yet.
4: Chikage(a weapon): Vote is doubled if the person you vote for isn't voting. Transform: Permanently lowers your own lynch threshold by 1, to a minimum of 0, instantly killing you. Your voting power is equal to 1/2 the required votes to lynch any given player, to a minimum of 3. That is, you will never cast less than 3 votes using this weapon.

The Armor and Chikage may also be purchased privately using echoes(which is why I was/am upset about my Vilebloods not being included in this latest lynch, today we could have had at least one member who had possession of the Chikage). The Armor is 10k, and the Chikage is 12k.

Spoiler: Our PT's with Shinobi, H&M, Patches the Spider and D&D
We are currently in resonant neighborhoods with Shinobi and Hastur & Muriel.

Shinobi's role as claimed gives him access to a few unique items. One gives him immunity to beasthood, and night action manipulation. Another doubles his votes on someone if they don't take actions at night or if their actions fail. Another couts as 1/3rd of the votes required to lynch someone. He has not told me the cost of these items and has not said whether they may be used multiple times or not. He's assuming it's reusable, but it does not specify(which would indicate it's reusable). So, we should assume if he isn't buying anything within the public pool, that he has access to 1/3rd of the votes required to lynch someone, and possibly more if those two items interacts somehow(if, say, one is a weapon, and the other a prefix allowing item of some sort). He claims everything about his flavor essentially exists to reaffirm how good at fighting his character is.

Hastur & Muriel can give out those blood vials, the ones which also restore a shot of a limited use item/ability, which I assume we both currently possess. They also claimed their flavor/role mentions the vilebloods in some way, which made them believe we were a third party faction of some sort, and that at least one member of the scum team would gain insight from killing members of the vilebloods. I've asked them for more details about how their role mentions us, but I have not yet received a response

We are in a nightmare PT called "The Nightmare Frontier" with Patches the Spider and Daenaerys and Dragons. Patches master is the host apparently, and they intend to invite yourself and Nahdia tonight. Patches may perform a roleblock on someone each night, which informs the target of who roleblocked them, as well as giving them 1 insight and 2k echoes. I wanted him to perform it on randomidget to get him closer to the Chikage, but he declined and did not tell me who he would be using it on. He asked about whether I would object to having it used on myself. Patches also can not receive any rewards from anyone being slain. All echoes/insight etc that would be rewarded to his slot is lost if he is included in a lynch. He also apparently dies if his master does, but claims his 3p win condition is that of a serial killer, that is, to be the last player left alive. I don't know if that's purely flavor and mechanically impossible, or if there is some possible set of circumstances that could result in the death of his master while leaving him alive. This should all be things you'll see yourself, but, again, I've included it for the sake of being thorough.

So I'm probably wasting my message for the night (again) by sending it to you, but I don't have any better ideas.

This is Ranger, obviously. I figured I'd do something during the night, but as of the time I started writing this message (and am sending the first draft), I don't actually know what.

I'm hoping Varsoon accepts changed submissions in messages (and if so, that I remember to put something extra in, which...isn't always a guarantee), because otherwise, it'll be a bit awkward for my message to quite literally be "I'm sending a message!", but...I just don't have any idea what I can say in here, that I haven't already said in-thread.

Unlike most players, I happen to know that I will be around tomorrow (which is why I don't bother giving something only I can say, since I can always confirm it the next day), at least most likely (it would take some freak ability for me to die, so if I ever do die...shenanigans are afoot, keep that in mind), so...I genuinely don't have much clue what to do.

I've mostly been using these messages as launching points for some of the things I need to do during the day (for instance, one thing I'm heavily considering adding into this message is a paraphrase of RyLina's message which I REALLY should be getting posted since they were relying on me to communicate it), but otherwise, they haven't been put to much good use, since I can't really think of why I, personally, would need them.

I do have a request, I suppose.

My read on Zulfy was null, so I can see him flipping either town or scum.
If he flips town...can you ask ALL players to not wagon anyone? Because that would make two days in a row that we did not make use of the time available to us, and it cost us.

Frankly, in a normal game, all these double-triple-quadruple voters would be insanely pro-town, but right now, I actually think--outside of hunting parties--they're a liability, because we're NOT getting people on lynches we want, and we know that Heuristic_Arrow was town and this Zulfy lynch has that same vibe to it. It's a bit difficult to describe the vibe, but...I think you felt it too, so I shouldn't really need to. (I mean, Zulfy should flip by daystart anyway, rendering this whole could-be argument moot, but by that time, I won't exactly be able to edit my message anymore.)

Anyway. My point is...I just think that all the potential gamebreaking we could be doing has been absolutely wasted by careless behavior, and that we need to slow down, take our time, and strategize, something you should be good at.

You hold all of the cards, I presume at least, so you know the roles in addition to the play. I think you should have the time to actually do that, but that we haven't had that time yet.

Ahg. I don't feel like I'm being articulate enough, here.

Hopefully, I can edit this message later, and maybe make it more clear, and more useful, and contain more stuff.
Quickly, though: still don't like the Liger/Shinobi tag-teaming. They both misrepresented my point, when the intention should have been obvious; I was saying neither of them were talking in the Sensei nightmare even before I showed up. They should have been using that topic to bounce back and forth if they were town, but they had basically nothing in there prior to my arrival. (Which, of course, has caused any chance of extra content to go down the drain.)

NIGHT 5 ANONYMOUS MESSAGES:

Mixed6 to PeregrineV:

Spoiler:

Hi there PeregrineV,

At this point you're almost certainly town, so here are some words of coordination from beyond the grave from Mixed6.

I'm working with Dwlee (who was a mason with me, though that was redacted), Reasonably Irrational, and D&D to try to coordinate the remaining town players well enough to stop the scum (who have some pretty scary tools left in their toolbox.) The biggest immediate problem is Nahdia. She controls Patches and enough votes to single-handedly wipe out town one at a time. If you get on tomorrow at the start of game (if it's at all possible, please do,) throw as many votes on her as you can. Even just one is enough. We need at least two town players casting votes on her and there are enough town that can cast more than one (and few enough players,) that the speed is more important than the quantity. Having said that, if you can muster more than one then do it!

It's probably too late for that last paragraph to matter as you're not getting this till the start of day 6.

If the game doesn't end at the start of day 6 and there's a day 7 the next target should be House. Based on various conversations in PTs that have been feeding information to the Nightmare where confirmed town are stuck we have strong reason to believe that he's scum. He's also among the most dangerous players in terms of voting abilities left in the game. There's less need to go quickly with him as he'd need a partner to join him (and the remaining possible scum partners are slower on the trigger,) but be unless there's a reason to do otherwise be ready to vote him right away.

During day 4 I was sending messages to the main game via Patches because I knew Nahdia controlled him and I wanted to try to make it look like there was a connection between us (ideally so scum would waste a kill on Patches.) Clearly that subterfuge was in vain as Patches ended up being the one doing the killing.

For some confirmation that this is me, in my last message I set up a code in which the fourth digit was nonsense.

Thanks for the blood vial when you sent it! I hope we can still pull this one off.

Some thoughts:

Many of you have voiced your frustration with this game. I apologize for how poorly it turned out. In a way, I crafted the madness of the Hunt too well--Nights were long and torturous and when it came time for a lynch to happen, it was swift and harrowing. Power went unchecked until it was too much of a problem, and all of the players were forced to play under very strenuous conditions. In the end, it came out to a worthless slugfest despite all the intrigue and machinations of madmen.

So, in some ways, this setup was a success. I even drove myself up a wall.

In many other ways, this setup absolutely failed.

Items like Pebble, Blood Cocktail, Numbing Mist, Shaman Bone Blade, and so on were integral to how I expected players to play and, yet, no one took advantage of them. Entire roles had no functionality due to players not understanding their role, never taking an action, or simply not playing the game. Scum was allowed full reign to build up their own power to the point that town could not counter it right out.

Nightmare Events were one of the most exciting mechanics I developed for this game. I was very excited to put together a system of mass-invited PTs in which the host of the PT could cause flavor events to happen that would render fun and interesting mechanical results. I think, what? There was one nightmare event played this entire game? I remember thinking about it and being really upset that I designed a mechanic that I would really enjoy, but nobody else cared about.

I won't be using shops in my future games. I like the idea of role progression just as much as I like the idea of publicly known powers (this is the appeal of smalltown games, too). The problem is that players are affected too much by it. That was sort of the goal here, and, I suppose, it did have the effects I desired, but it was far too stressful for many players. The problem with having a system of public powers is twofold, really:
1. Rhetorically Strong players will police who gets what. I absolutely hated that Mixed6 was trying to dictate who could buy which items. Being told that you'll be scumread if you get an item you want inhibits the fun of the game in a lot of ways, I feel. No longer can people enjoy the mechanic, because it's not an option for them to fully embrace it.
2. Mechanically Weak players will not realize how to use the mechanic at all. Once again, I think numbing mist was used successfully once this game? Furthermore, only a single blood vial was used to prevent a kill, and it did not work given the kill was a strongman shot.

I sincerely apologize for how horrible and stressful this game became. I felt it more than anyone. Since day one, I was upset with how things had turned out due to players either not playing at all or playing in ways contrary to the design of the game. I figured that I couldn't let myself get too hung up on players not playing the way I wanted, though. What really got to me was the amount of people decrying the setup entirely, while others still didn't care to play at all. I felt as though I had failed everyone who signed up for this game--the mechanics did not get utilized, no one seemed to care, and the most feedback I got was very negative. I designed a game I would be incredibly excited to be a part of, put more time into it than any other game I (or maybe anyone else) has made, and it was an absolute failure on many fronts. Couple this with moving to a new town, being unable to find a job, going through a breakup, and several other personal issues and I dreaded coming back to this site just to unlock the game thread, post some flavor, and watch the game I put so much time, love, and effort into continue to spiral down the drain.

There was a moment where I genuinely wanted to end the game early.

There was a moment where I considered never moderating another game again, given how momentous a failure this game was for myself and for many involved.

That said, I respect you all far too much. I was not going to cut the game short on account of my own misgivings or stress. Despite the large amount of moderator errors and mistakes made, I kept telling myself that I would not abandon the game because these players deserved it played out to the end. This was a learning experience. My next theme game will be much more mechanically terse, but I hope to deliver an exciting setup that gets players engaged with both the game and the flavor. You're some of my favorite people online and I love this site. I'm not going to give up on you just because things turn out poorly.

Feel free to offer criticism, your thoughts, reactions, etc. If you want to insult me for any reason, I will not keep you from doing so. I know many people are crossing this finish line frustrated, bruised, and angry. I do ask that you keep insults of other players to a minimum, though.

Thank you for playing, everyone.
I hope that you enjoyed this game. Tell me what worked for you and I'll try to incorporate it into my next game if I can.
For those of you that did not, let me know why. I'd love to make a better game next time.

Until then,
Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good.

Varsoon · Tue Jul 12, 2016 5:02 am

I loved your role, Cakez. I think miller roles should go full-ham with their negative utility.
That said, I wanted your role to be absolutely capable of lots of utility and functionality given the right flips/information you became privy to.

I was surprised that no one voted for the Spiders of yours. In previous games of mine where someone controlled a remote vote, it was typically voted for as a test or as a joke. I suppose Patches was just a much more interesting candidate for that?

I'm glad that you enjoyed the mechanics. It was a nightmare (Dohoho) to resolve night phases because, at worst, I would have to...
1. Post multiple flavor results in night threads due to Hunts and Nightmare Events.
2. Lock and unlock several threads.
3. Resolve tons of actions due to role madness.
4. Resolve upwards of 22 sent messages each night due to anonymous even-dead messages.
I'd end up with a row of over 40 tabs sometimes, because I gave myself so much work to do this game @_@

Thank you for your support.

Yeah, I was hoping people would utilize Numbing Mist to shut down any player who got too many votes, but it happened such that those players were also trusted to gain enough insight to get the Blood Rock/Transcendence, which should have only upgraded votes and night actions now that I reconsider it.

I might not even run any of those themes listed there, but, uh, I can give a brief summary of the ideas I have for them?

@Nahdia: I think many people misunderstood Blood Cocktails and Pebbles. It always stops the first vote they can render, not just the first singular vote rendered. Pebble forces that first vote rendered to stay on you. I did not make this explicit enough and only realized late on that it was that way.

P-EDIT:
Don't expect the 'Captain'/'Huntmaster' mechanic to return any time soon, either.
I like it, but I don't want to design another game around it right now.

Here's a couple theme ideas I have rolling around, I guess:

WAKFU - Pretty straightforward themed game with a 'Party' mechanic that will allow players to make their own Neighborhoods with whoever they want and go on adventures.
MAGIC THE GATHERING - The game will feature a 'Planeshift' mechanic where the public mechanic will change with every coming day phase. Every player will get to choose which 'color' they want to be and will be given 'cards' that they can play as their abilities.
HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC - Straightforward Upick where players choose which Faction they want to align with. Over the course of the game, roles will 'level up'.
FINAL FANTASY TACTICS - I want to run this as a secret alt game. The main feature will be that every player will have access to a unique game-defining ability/Zodiac Stone. There will also be a whole job system similar to the one in the game.
UNDERTALE - The game/roles will be able to fluctuate between 'Pacifist' and 'Genocide' game states that will influence what each role can do.
PARASYTE - Players will be able to steal other players' roles and identities. I'm considering going full-on with this and also making it a secret alt game where players can literally steal another player's account and continue posting as them. Maybe.
BRAVELY DEFAULT - Lottery pick of the RPG's roles. Players will get to form parties and save the world. I am considering making this a very non-traditional mafia game.
FIST OF THE NORTH STAR - Look, man, I don't have any great ideas for this, I just like Fist of the North Star.
SAMURAI JACK - Each day will be an 'Episode' of the series, which will allow certain characters different abilities.
GUNDAM: UNIVERSAL CENTURY - As the game progresses, the timeline will as well. So roles will fluctuate in power as the various characters join the war, get better mobile suits, retire, etc.
SENGOKU BASARA - I'm thinking of using a unique 'Dueling' mechanic for this game. Otherwise, every player will have an army and will be able to do war with other players! Powerful alliances will be drawn, and, ultimately, the fate of Japan will be decided.
MONSTER RANCHER - You'll be able to give me a list of your favorite games/movies and I will generate a unique 'team of monsters' that will become your role. These monsters will be able to level up and upgrade and help you win!
4CHAN - Mostly a meme game with roles embodying 4chan's boards. Mite b cool.
MEGAMAN BATTLENETWORK - Two separate threads--one that only Net Navis can access and one that the regular players access. Each player will get a role that grants them access to a Net Navi that they can anonymously post and interact from.

Now I'm going to probably swing the other way and see how mechanically simple/concise of a setup I can make with roles that contribute the rhetorical game play.
I agree on multivoting being a huge issue this game, but it was a part of the design--how do players rhetorically play when other players are pursuing such mechanical power publicly? The answer is they don't. :/

The site's rules are hugely specific about loopholes being bullshit, but apparently that goes out the window when it comes to mechanics.

I still say the game was bastard because it allowed the very action Varsoon explicitly stated the game was designed to prevent.

If quicklynches required two people to be online at day start, town would have had a bit more of a fair shake at the end.

I agree that Patches was a problem, but I disagree about the bastard aspect.
It's shitty, though, so I'll give you that. I shouldn't have designed something so shitty.

I need to work back up to that sort of thing, and this game took a lot out of me. You're both fantastic players, and I'm excited to see what comes of your time on-site. You can always ask me anything or come to me if you need someone to talk to on-site.

@PeregrineV: Thanks, man. I'm glad you had fun with the game and I definitely would like to run a sequel game in the future. I love Bloodborne and I'd love to tune up these mechanics to make an even more exciting Bloodborne game. Maybe sometime down the line, eh?

@ABR: My next game shouldn't have such a huge swing like this one did. SaGa was made intentionally for that sort of absurd swing. This game was meant to have public swing with public checks/balances, but that it could get hard to control. My next game should avoid this sort of thing. I am glad you're excited for my future games. You're an abrasive player at times, but I do like that confidence that you bring to the table. You challenge me to make games that work for everyone involved, which is a great thing. I'm often thinking of a setup now and going, "How would ABR take advantage of this mechanic..." instead of just considering how I would make use of it.

@Shadow_Step: Thanks! Your role was one of my favorite ones, even if you got pretty much nerfed to unplayability early. As an actual factual mod error, I allowed you to vote Nahdia even though she wasn't in the Hunter's Nightmare because I forgot your role was specific to that nightmare rather than all nightmares.

Dude, redact your address. Internet privacy yo.

I'm fine with you all knowing my address. If anyone online wanted to find it hard enough, they could. It's okay.

@MOD VARSOON DID YOU MAKE MY ROLE WITH THIS IN MIND ? THAT IT SHOULD BE STRICKLY NOT USED EARLY AND ONLY BE USED TO COUNTER A POTENTIAL SPEED LYNCHER WITH TOO MUCH VOTING POWER?

I created your role to have a lot of power and to be able to make its own judgment calls.
I wanted to reflect the way the character proceeded about their own thoughts on hunters.
You're someone who is powerful and capable of acting on that power.
Yes, it is one way to keep any single player from getting too much voting power.
In the game, Brador kills Hunters who try to discover the secret of the Hunt.
In the same way, Brador in this game is meant to kill Hunters and Scum alike--any player who they perceive as getting too close to dominating the outcome of the game.

A security measure. Anti-town? Yes. But powerful and so much so it probably shouldn't be considered a scum role so easily.

Town had myriad ways of killing scum. Off the top of my head?
House's role could vig kill with enough beasthood
Sensei's role could vig kill any night and since it was a Nightmare Event, it would have a very low chance of being blocked/stopped unless the target had a Blood Vial.
R&L's role could vig kill that would become a gladiate if the kill was denied.
Almost50 could vig kill any flavor-claim, and on failure for the kill to resolve (due to hitting a fake-claim), it would out the player as lying about their flavor.

This was all meant to be curtailed and mitigated by the Blood Vial system and Ranger's role.
Unfortunately, Ranger really didn't make much use of his role and the Blood Vials didn't see a ton of use, either.
