vs. vs.

Otters live their lives happily, playing and loving one another freely. Otters are loved by all, something that inspires bitter envy in ostracized animals. Both sharks and tigers are tired of the favoritism. No on kills otters. No one hates otters.

So they'd just be otters. The tigers dyed their fur brown; the sharks rolled in mud. Independently, the sharks and tigers infiltrated the otter community of Rompville, doing their best to blend in. Ever trusting, the otters of Rompville had always allowed newcomers into their community with open arms. They accepted the new otters, even if they were a bit large, and life resumed as usual.

But sharks and tigers have certain urges and needs that cannot be ignored. Before too long, the perfect peace of Rompville was disturbed...

[Amrun]

Rompville was getting along happily with its new citizens.

During the day, everyone played as usual and went to bed tuckered out.

But upon waking the next morning, the otters discovered something terrible.

Someone had killed Trumpet of Doom and IceGuy! They looked gnawed on, almost as if someone had eaten them.

How horrible! Who could have done such a thing?

Trumpet of Doom -

Otterly Adorable

, eaten pre-game.

IceGuy -

Otterly Adorable

, eaten pre-game.

Day 1 dawns over Rompville.

[Amrun]

Guy_Named_Riggs struggled to appear to be an otter.

His playing made him stand out, it seemed. The tigers on island Sumatra, his homeland, just played too vigorously for the otters of Rompville.

Guy_Named_Riggs didn't react well to the criticism of his rough playing, which Rompville thought might be indicative of an underlying violent nature. Guy_Named_Riggs wasn't trying to be rough or violent, though. He was just trying to find a new home, since the people on his island had built an apartment complex over the jungle he was born in. But he got so angry about the accusations that he slipped and revealed his true nature.

After that, he felt so bad that he left Rompville quietly, his head hanging in humiliation.

Guy_Named_Riggs -

Sumatran Tiger, Mafia Goon

- has been lynched Day 1.



Sun sets over Rompville and Night 1 begins.

[Amrun]

After kicking out a tiger, Rompville felt safe.

They went to bed feeling accomplished and rose to a new day feeling refreshed.

But upon waking, the otters realized their sense of safety was short-lived.

Someone had killed hohum and zMuffinMan! Just like Trumpet of Doom and Ice Guy, someone had eaten them.

Apparently Guy_Named_Riggs wasn't the only nefarious character in their midst.

hohum -

Psychottergist, 1-Shot Psychiatrist

- has been eaten Night 1.



zMuffinMan -

Dr. Otter, Tiger Doctor

- has been eaten Night 1.



Day 2 dawns over Rompville. Deadline is Wednesday, February 15, 11pm EST.

[Amrun]

Nobody Special didn't really feel like part of the group.

Some of the other otters picked on him, and some otters he didn't like at all and just plain avoided.

The Otter Committee convened to discuss him.

They decided that Nobody Special was simply too anti-social. What if it was because he was hiding his nefarious intentions?

The Committee decided to evict him from Rompville, just in case.

Nobody Special was

shocked

that the Committee made such an unjust decision. He decided he would be better off on his own anyway, so he left. All the company he really needed was his teddy bear, and his teddy bear would never evict him.

Nobody Special -

Otterly Adorable

- has been lynched Day 2.



Sun sets over Rompville and Night 2 begins.

Action submission deadline is Friday, February 17th, 11pm EST.

[Amrun]

The flavor for Night 2 was lost.

I will eventually cobble something together; in the meantime, here were the flips:

Yosarian2 -

Gourmotter, Poisoner

- eaten Night 2.

kdowns -

Significant Otter, Mason Lover and 1-Shot Shared Matchmaker

- died of ciguatera poisoning Night 2.

Magister Ludi -

- died of a broken heart Night 2.

implosion -

Police Ottficer, Shark Cop

- died of scombroid poisoning Night 2.

Umbrage -

- mangled Night 2.

[Amrun]

Fate was playing a bit too hard with the otters. This made the otters immediately wary, after Guy_Named_Riggs, but Fate told a story about how everyone in his family had extra long teeth and liked to play rough. The otters reluctantly bought it, unwilling to evict anyone else after sending Nobody Special away.

But then, something happened to one of the otters Fate had been playing with.

First, they were just playing with a ball, but then...

Only one thing was going through everyone's minds.

Long teeth indeed! Fate tried to argue that it was just his hereditary trait, and that it was an accident, but the Otter Committee didn't buy it. They evicted him.

Once the decision was made, Fate reveled in it.

He was a shark and he hoped all the stupid otters died!

But even Fate couldn't take on all of Rompville by himself. He swam away slowly, let his fine rise above the water in intimidation.

As soon as Fate disappeared over the horizon, Rompville celebrated.

Fate -

Sandbar Shark, Mafia Framer

- has been lynched Day 3.



Sun sets over Rompville and Night 3 begins.

Action submission deadline is Sunday, February 26th, 11pm EST.

EXCELLENT NEWS, MEIN SQUARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAVE AN ARCHIVE.

http://www.mediafire.com/?9h8bq8dewdrjdi4

The above is what was recovered via Google Cache and my personal computer caches. Unfortunately, 10ish pages near the end are missing, but it will have to do. If anyone ever recovers anything that is missing (particularly the Night 2 flavor), please send it to me.

Rain lavish praises upon Feysal, He Who Saved the Game! Also, thanks to Tierce, who contributed something of the tech-fu sort, I believe.

Join the otter party in celebration!

Night 3 will end on Monday, April 2, at 10 pm EST. Please resubmit all night actions if you sent them in before the crash. Thanks!

EDIT:

We have a site-hosted version of the archive now as an alternative link.

With both a tiger and a shark successfully evicted from Rompville, the otters' faith was renewed ... a little bit.

They'd met with some success, but still, they remembered the massacre from the night before...

The otters began to look around to see who was missing.

Oh no... where was Elmo TeH AzN?! He was the smartest otter in Rompville, forever scribbling away at his calculations, though no one ever knew what he was calculating.

They searched and searched and finally confirmed their worst fears... He was dead.

But in the search, they realized that someone else was missing, too:MrBuddyLee.

This greatly distressed Rompville, for MrBuddyLee was a very young otter beloved by all. He loved to play and would even keep people up at night to play with them.

When they found his body, they all took a moment to remember MrBuddyLee.

This was a terrible tragedy.

The otters of Rompville must be safe again.

Some otters were discouraged, but other otters stood up to them:

Those tigers and sharks were no match for otters!

They would root out those tigers and sharks. They had to.

Rompville was on a mission to evict the tigers and sharks, and they were SURE that Thor665 was one of them.

It didn't take long at all for the Otter Committee to decide to evict - why, Thor665 didn't even get a say in it!

In preparation for the impending eviction of an enemy, one otter began to play the piano.

When Thor665 realized what was going on, he was confused. Why was this happening? And how did that guy learn to play the piano?

But when he saw that everyone already had their party hats on, he knew it was too late.

Thor665 -

Otterly Adorable

I just realized that Sunday is Easter Sunday for some, so in light of that, I'll push back the deadline until 10pm EST.

[Amrun]

After another unsuccessful eviction, the otters were wary to greet the day...

Some hid rather than search for the bodies of their dearest friends.

The first otter that found her dear friend Pine dead couldn't bear to look at his body.

Worse was when projectmatt's body was discovered as well.

[]

The otters of Rompville were beginning to get demoralized. Some decided to get senselessly drunk to deal with it all.

VC 5.1

Facts about Otters:

The efforts over the years to protect otters have mostly been successful. Only one species remains in real danger, while a handful of others are considered to be vulnerable. With plenty of conservation efforts in place, there is a very good chance that we will see these creatures surviving well into the future.

Facts about Sharks:

Normally, sharks eat alone. But sometimes one feeding shark attracts others. They swim up as quickly as possible and all begin to try to get a piece of the prey. They bite wildly at anything that gets in their way -- even each other.

The sharks noticed that the otters were beginning to get demoralized. They smelled victory within their grasp.

With that in mind, Vi had an announcement to make.

"You can't do anything about it, Rompville!" she taunted. "Neener neener neener!"

No one could believe it. Vi was so gentle! How could she be a shark?

But after the shock wore off, the otters of Rompville quickly turned on Vi.

It wasn't too long before Vi was defeated.

But as Vi swam away majestically, they realized that Vi HAD been gentle. She hadn't fought back at all. But still, she harbored fugitives, so she had to be evicted.

Vi -

Whale Shark, Weak Mafia Goon

- has been lynched Day 5.

[Amrun]

The otters were refreshed by the eviction of a shark and eager to see what had happened overnight.

They prepared themselves and began to search.

When they found BBmolla's body washed up on shore, they weren't surprised.

The otters cried for him, of course...

[]

But, determined, they kept looking. And oh my, what a find!

It was a dead tiger! But wait - it was actually a dead shark! A dead

tiger

shark.

One otter got up and made a spontaneous victory speech.

An artist commemorated the occasion.

Hope had been restored.

Facts about Sharks:

The teeth of sharks don’t have roots, so they usually fall out after about a week. However, sharks have replacements arranged in rows and a new one can move in within one day to take the old one’s place. Sharks have five to 15 rows of teeth in each jaw, with most having five rows.

Edit: I think this should be fixed now. lolwut

[Amrun]

The otters of Rompville began to do some serious research. They knew they had the tools to find any remaining threats.

The committee convened to put all their thoughts together.

Before Nocmen had much of a chance to protest, they had thrown him out on suspicion of being a tiger. But he was one of the littlest otters in Rompville! What were they thinking?

Nocmen -

Otterly Adorable

- has been lynched Day 6.



Sun sets over Rompville and Night 6 begins.

Action submission deadline is Thursday, April 26th, 10pm EST.

[Amrun]

The final votecount should be fixed. I honestly don't know what kind of crack I was smoking. I was thinking the right thing, at least.

[Amrun]

At first, the otters of Rompville arose and looked around... was everyone here?

But before the search began, camn cried out.

They rushed to her; she had been shot in the night. She was dead before anyone could help her. The otters couldn't believe what had just happened...

But they kept searching, only to find the remains of Iecerint, who had been eaten.

Instead of being upset, DrippingGoofball and Quilford began to do a very strange dance.

All of the others realized it at once: they were tigers! redFF and RedCoyote looked at one another, knowing that the tigers outnumbered them.

Then, redFF revealed his fin and swam away in defeat.

Upon realizing his fate, RedCoyote dissolved into hysterics. He was going to be eaten!

DrippingGoofball and Quilford looked at RedCoyote, licking their chops.

They ate RedCoyote for breakfast! They were full, so they rested a bit.

They began to imagine their future lives in the new Tiger refuge camp, which they decided to call Strikeville. More tigers would come, and then...

Strikeville would become a happy place for tiger families.

DrippingGoofball and Quilford were so, so happy to be free at last.

GAME OVER!

[Amrun]

You died because two tigers killed you at once.

You'll understand when I post the PMs. Tigers had a special joint ability.

[Amrun]

Spoiler: Tiger Role PMs

Welcome to Otters vs. Tigers vs. Sharks, DrippingGoofball. You are a tiger, determined to make your species just as loved as otters, or, failing that, to kill and eat all who oppose you.

In particular, you are a

South China Tiger, Mafia Goon

.

You fled to Rompville because you were the last South China Tiger left in the wild. You are the last of your wild-born brethren. You are the most visually distinctive of all tigers, with a lighter yellow coat and narrow, sharp-edged stripes. You don't understand why people kill and hate tigers, but love otters so.

Individual Ability:

You have no ability besides the ability to vote in-thread each day.

Factional Ability:

You and your partners (Guy_Named_Riggs and Matias) share an ability to target another player for a night kill each night. Your team must choose at least one member to perform the kill. I will assume the player that submits the kill is performing the kill unless otherwise specified.

Tigers sometimes share kills with one another. As long as at least two tigers are alive, you may share your kill in order to eat it completely. In other words, if two tigers target the same player successfully and the player dies, that player's alignment and role will not flip. Only the tigers learn the identity of the dead player.

If two tigers target a player for a kill but one is impeded (for example, stopped by a roleblock or redirected), the target still dies but flips publicly. If three tigers target a player for a kill but only one is impeded, the target dies with its role remaining secret. Any protection on the kill target will stop your kill no matter how many tigers attempted the kill.

Factional Communication:

During pre-game and at night, you may scheme with your partners (Guy_Named_Riggs and Matias) in The Jungle: http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/Tggkei7sZxDg

Fakeclaims:

Fully formatted fakeclaim PMs will be provided upon request at any time, day or night. You must supply me with the faction, species, and

entire role including role name

of a fakeclaim (example: Town, Otter, Miller); I will provide the flavor name, flavor, picture, etc. in the proper format. There is also a VT role PM publicly available on the front page of the game thread.

You win when the tigers equal or outnumber the remaining citizens of Rompville or nothing can prevent the same.

You, like so many other tigers, are critically endangered. Before you came to Rompville, you lived on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, but less than 500 of your brethren remain. You are the very last subspecies of island tiger, and your coat is darker than your mainland counterparts. People keep building into your habitat and then punishing you for being there; you don't understand why people kill and hate tigers, but love otters so.

After that happening in the thread, by the way, Trumpet of Doom posted this in the Dead QT:

I'm starting to see the utility in having a disclaimer that says something like, "This game is not obligated to make sense until it is over."

ehaheheahahea

Credit for the uneven Bulletproof multiscum idea goes to Ether. We were talking about it, and she said she had always wanted to design a game that way but probably never would. I asked if I could use the idea, and the idea for the set-up was born!

Spoiler: Shark Role PMs

Welcome to Otters vs. Tigers vs. Sharks, chesskidsgirl. You are a shark, determined to make your species just as loved as otters, or, failing that, to kill and eat all who oppose you.

In particular, you are a

Whale Shark, Weak Mafia Goon

.

You are a gentle shark. You're actually a filter feeder, so unlike your buddies, you don't need to kill to survive. You're still loyal to your species and will do your part to help out, but you cannot kill.

Individual Ability:

You have no ability besides the ability to vote in-thread each day.

Factional Ability:

You and your partners (Fate, redFF, and David Xanatos) share an ability to target another player for a night kill each night. Your team must choose one member to perform the kill, but it cannot be you under any circumstances. I will assume the player that submits the kill is performing the kill unless otherwise specified.

However, your team has one limitation: you know that tigers have also infiltrated Rompville, but you can't kill them because they can stay out of the water if they choose. Though graceful in the water, a shark can be crushed by its own weight on land. Your team has worked together to build a special apparatus that will allow you to go on land, but it makes a lot of noise and won't be worth using until you equal or outnumber the remaining citizens of Rompville and can't be questioned.

You are a shark that is common worldwide, found in both salt and fresh water. You adapt easily to new environments, due to your ability to adjust salinity intake. This and your territorial aggressiveness makes you a very dangerous shark. One of your brothers or sisters may have inspired the movie

Jaws

Despite your misleading name, you are all shark, and a highly adapted one at that. You have extraordinary sensory capabilities. One of them is the ability to detect your prey's bio-electric fields, afforded to you by pits on the side of your upper body called ampullae of Lorenzini. You also have a unique sensory organ called a lateral line which helps you detect minor vibrations in the water. You utilize these sensory advantages to help you suss out the intentions and capabilities of your foes.

Credit for the uneven Bulletproof multiscum idea goes to Ether. We were talking about it, and she said she had always wanted to design a game that way but probably never would. I asked if I could use the idea, and the idea for the set-up was born!

Might I suggest not doing it again? for the reason listed below--

Talking of which, you basically required Town to lynch three scum at minimum, with more more likely. This game ended after six game Days

with three scum lynched

, two of which basically

asked

for it. When I said Town had no chance, I -meant- Town had no chance.

It was certainly an experiment in balance, but I think town had a lot of compensating power - and I do mean a lot. Scum got very, very lucky in its NKs.

You are also neglecting the fact that tigers could kill sharks, and that there were several town-originating kills that could kill tigers.

Perhaps a few more VTs would have helped. I considered starting at 26. I was worried about the game filling, but slots went like hot cakes, so I shouldn't have been.

I wanted to do something VERY DIFFERENT, and I succeeded. I do want to talk about the failings and the good parts of this set-up, once I post the role PMs.

Welcome to Otters vs. Tigers vs. Sharks, kdowns. You are an otter, determined to ferret out those among you who are disturbing the peace of Rompville.

In particular, you are a

Significant Otter, Mason Lover and 1-Shot Shared Matchmaker

along with SleepyKrew.

You and SleepyKrew are mates for life. If SleepyKrew were to die for any reason, you'd be devastated and die immediately of a broken heart. Every night, you float in the water together, holding hands and whispering in each other's ears. You're so happy together, and you wish everyone else was just as happy. You want to set up another couple in order to share your happiness, but before you can do that, you have to check whether the pair in question is compatible. Divorce isn't an option for otters.

You know that SleepyKrew shares your win condition. Each night and during pre-game, you may converse with SleepyKrew in the following QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/3eNeKGvMEQ7K

During any one night, you and SleepyKrew may investigate whether two players share a win condition by PMing the following action command to the moderator or

bolding

the command in your QT:

Test the Compatibility of Player A and Player B

. Both you and SleepyKrew must submit the same action in order for it to resolve. You will receive results via QT in the form of

Compatible

or

Incompatible

. If Players A and B are compatible, they share a win condition. If they are incompatible, their win conditions are different. You may only test the compatibility of two players total; the 1-Shot Matchmaker ability is shared between you and SleepyKrew.

You use natural remedies, like herbs and poultices, to keep the otters of Rompville in good health. Your toughest job is to convince your water-loving friends not to go into the water while under your treatment so that they don't wash your medicine off! In this time of need, you decide to focus your attention on one citizen of Rompville per night to see that they don't get permanently injured, but you only protect against land-borne harm.

In particular, you are a

Confidotter - Fisherman

.

Your best friend is Maggie the Magpie, and she is a hoarder. She flies around all day and finds things to stuff in her nest, which is overflowing with junk. In order to assist her with her problem, you convince her that she should bring her findings to you instead - and, as luck would have it, with the trouble in Rompville, you need any help you can get. You ask her to look for particular items you think might help you rid Rompville of the danger in its midst. However, she can't always find what you're looking for and some items are scarcer than others.

The items you may ask Maggie to look for, the probability she finds them, and the one time abilities they grant are as follows:

20% Syringe (1-Shot Doctor)
30% Corncob Pipe (1-Shot Cop)
40% Gun (1-Shot Vigilante)
40% Bulletproof Vest (Prevents one shot/attack indefinitely until used up, can only be used on you)
50% Tracking Guidebook (1-Shot Tracker)
50% Video Camera (1-Shot Watcher)

During confirmation stage AND each night, you may seek a particular item by PMing the following action command to the moderator:

Ask Maggie to Look for Item X

. If she returns with the item you sought, you may use the ability it grants in the same night if you wish; if she returns the item you sought during confirmation stage, you may not use it until Night 1. In that case, you may still seek Night 1 and use any item Maggie may find in addition to the item she brought you in pre-game. You may save items for use in later nights. Once Maggie brings you a type of item, any further attempts to find that item will be unsuccessful.

Welcome to Otters vs. Tigers vs. Sharks, Yosarian2. You are an otter, determined to ferret out those among you who are disturbing the peace of Rompville.

In particular, you are the

Gourmotter - Poisoner

.

You are a gourmotter known for your worldliness and always bringing the best food for the rest of the otters to try out. Everyone looks forward to trying your delicacies. However, you are really concerned about all the deaths of your friends and cook up a scheme that you think will help take the evildoers down. You may inflict a player with one of the following types of poisons by purposefully offering him or her contaminated seafood:

-

Scombroid poisoining:

If you offer your target a mackerel, (s)he will die that same night.

-

Ciguatera poisoning:

If you offer your target a sea bass, (s)he will die the next night.

-

Paralytic shellfish poisoning:

If you offer your target an oyster, (s)he will be paralyzed (roleblocked) on the second night and will die on the third night. (Example: poisoned n1, blocked n2, kill resolves on n3)

Since you are so trusted, whatever seafood you offer your targets will be automatically eaten (in other words, your targets are not notified of their poisoning). You know that no one in Rompville has the capability of detecting or preventing a poisoned target from dying.

You may offer each type of seafood only once. You can offer them on any night; you are not limited to one per night. You may offer them to any player except yourself; you are not limited to one per player. You may poison someone any night by PMing the following action command(s) to the moderator:

Offer Player X a Mackerel

,

Offer Player X a Sea Bass

, and/or

Offer Player X an Oyster

Welcome to Otters vs. Tigers vs. Sharks, Elmo TeH AzN. You are an otter, determined to ferret out those among you who are disturbing the peace of Rompville.

In particular, you are a

Crime Scene Investigotter - 1-Shots Coroner and DNA Analyst

.

You've always fancied forensic analysis and think your ottertastic skills that make you so good at catching fish would also serve you well in the crime scene investigation field. Sadly, though, being a forensic analyst is not really a viable career option for an otter - but with all the killing going on, now is your chance to show the otter community what you are made of! You may investigate any dead player, even if only trace amounts of him or her remain. Through diligent private study, you have acquired the ability to perform two tests. From the first test, you will learn the role and alignment of the target, even if only trace amounts remain. For the second test, you may name three suspects whom you think may have killed the target. You will test your suspects' DNA against the evidence at the crime scene; if any or all of them visited the target the night (s)he was killed, you will be notified. There is a time limit on performing the tests: the target must be dead no longer than one night, or the evidence will decay too much to be useful. Since you are doing all of this out of pocket, as it's just a hobby, you only have the resources to perform each of these tests once. Only you know just how many fish you had to trade to make this happen.

Here you are preparing your lab:

You may perform the tests separately or simultaneously, and on the same target or different targets. For example, you may perform both tests in the same night on different targets, both tests on the same night on the same target, OR both tests on different nights on different targets. You may do one or both tests any night by PMing one or both of the action commands to the moderator:

Perform Test 1 on Player X

and/or

Perform Test 2 on Player X

Confirmation Stage, search for BP Vest:

Search Results

"Maggie," you say to your friend, "I have a bad feeling. If you find anything out there that might protect me, let me know, will you?"

Maggie chirped happily and flew off, turning her head from side to side in ardent search for something fitting her dear friend's description.

You wait for her anxiously, but she returns only with a boot. She chirps and rubs her head against you after dropping the boot by your side. She knows it isn't what you wanted, but she tried.

"Thank you, Maggie. This is perfect," you lie, trying not to hurt her feelings.

Oh, well. You nestle into the boot to take a nap. It's better than nothing, after all.

Maggie did not find a Bulletproof Vest. Better luck next time!

Night 1, search for BP Vest:

Search Results

Even though your boot is a comfy little bed, you share your worries with Maggie. You still don't feel safe.

She searches hard all day long and brings you something back. She's not sure exactly what it is, but she hopes it will help.

It's perfect! Maggie has managed to find a tiny bulletproof vest, just your size.

Maggie found a Bulletproof Vest.

Night 2, Search for Video Camera:

Search Results

Now that you feel safe, you want to try and poke around to see what turns up. You don't really want to give up your sleep, though, so you devise a plan to set up a video camera and then take a nap.

You explain your plan to Maggie, who is excited by it and sets off to search for a camera.

It took her aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalll day, but she finally comes back with a video camera in her claws. She has to fly very low because it's so heavy, and when she finally gets it to you, she wishes you luck and flies back to her nest immediately because she's so tired.

Maggie found a Video Camera.

You are now in possession of a 1-Shot Watch ability. Please submit your target by the normal action deadline.

Video Camera (Watch): Fate

You set up the camera near Fate's nesting place, but it didn't catch anything! What a bummer.

Night 3, Search for Tracking Guidebook:

Search Results

Disappointed that you hadn't seen anything exciting by sitting around last night, you decide that if trouble won't come to you, you'll go looking for trouble! You know Maggie likes to fly along the hiking trails, searching for things tourists dropped. You ask her to keep an eye out for anything that might help you search for sharks or tigers hunting otters.

Maggie chirped happily and flew off, turning her head from side to side in ardent search for something fitting her dear friend's description.

You wait and hope some silly tourists drop some useful things for you, but when Maggie returns, she seems sheepish.

She drops a packet of balloons at your feet, apologizes, and flies off to her nest, barely looking you in the eye.

At first, you're angry. How are you supposed to find sharks or tigers with BALLOONS? Maggie should know better!

Maybe you can figure something out... You open the packet and start to brainstorm.

You've been playing with the balloons half the night before you realize that Maggie just couldn't find anything and wanted to cheer you up. She's such a good friend.

Maggie did not find a Tracking Guidebook. Better luck next time!

Night 4, Search for Tracking Guidebook:

Ask Maggie To Search For:

Tracking Guidebook

Search Results

Disappointed by your video camera's lack of results, you decide that giving up your sleep is worth it. It's time for a more active approach. If the trouble won't come to you, then you'll go looking for the trouble. You ask Maggie to look for something to help you find something that will help you figure out who is eating all of your friends. It was hard, and at first she wasn't successful, but finally, she brings you back a tracking guidebook. It's perfect!

Maggie found a Tracking Guidebook.

You are now in possession of a 1-Shot Track ability. Please submit your target by the normal action deadline, unless you wish to save it for a future night.

Action Result

After studying the guidebook carefully, you find some suspicious looking marks in the mud and decided to follow them. They lead you to David Xanatos, who is swimming beside RedCoyote. You can't tell what he's up to ... but hey, you finally found something! You're a good tracker! You feel accomplished.

Night 5, Search for Gun:

Search Results

After Vi's death, you realize no one can be trusted. If you're going to save Rompville, now is the time for drastic action. With a heavy heart, you ask Maggie to find the one thing you never wanted her to find... a gun.

You wait for her return impatiently, but when she comes back, she's carrying another boot. She drops it at your feet and chitters angrily before flying away.

You guess she doesn't want you to take that risk. You'll have to convince her another night.

Maggie found a boot. Better luck next time!

Night 6, Search for Gun:

Search Results

You spend a lot of time discussing with Maggie how dire the situation has become. You wish you didn't have to hurt anyone, but if you didn't root out the ones eating your fellows, Rompville as everyone knew it might cease to exist!

Finally swayed, she brought you back something that might be the key to saving your friends.

Maggie found a Gun.

You are now in possession of a 1-Shot Vigilante ability. Please submit your target by the normal action deadline, unless you wish to save it for a future night.

This set-up was so fun to see play out. I loved how neither of the scumteams ever correctly predicted the set-up, not once, until DGB on the very last night.

As I said before, I think if I ran it again, I would add a couple of more VTs.

The tigers didn't use their power as I expected them to; they discounted the value of the janitor. But I thought they would use it to target power roles and give themselves rock solid roleclaims, which I saw as really useful. Or, I thought they would go for sharks and try to obscure it to leave the town chasing their tails, but they actively chose not to do that.

The tigers got really discouraged because they didn't know they were BP to sharks - but I had anticipated that they would assume the set-up was reasonably balanced.

Though perhaps scum vs. town wasn't as balanced as it would be optimally, I DO think the scumteams were pretty balanced between each other.

Thoughts?

Was the game enjoyable? Balanced? Tips for the future?

Anything I should improve with my modding for the future?


Thanks so much for playing, everyone, and especially those who stuck with it after the crash!

Another round of applause for Feysal, as well, who gave us our archive.

[Amrun]

Seeing a tiger win after a Day 1 tiger lynch was pretty exciting, and pretty ironic, after the forum crash. Ha.

camn, don't feel too bad! You were missing the Fate lynch, which was instrumental, and working with the archive at all was difficult at best. I think you did a good job, for someone put in your position. I was pretty terrified of post-crash replacements, and you definitely got the short end of the stick. I was actually really glad when Thor was lynched because I was almost positive he was flaking. He picked up his death PM thinking it was a prod, so it wasn't QUITE as bad as I feared, but he was too busy to contribute properly in any case.

[Amrun]

If anyone is inclined, I would love some constructive criticism, design-wise. I invented some roles and included some very rare roles, along with some factional roles and a couple of supremely normal roles, like town roleblocker.

Basic idea of the design:

Tigers had one public collective power role (janitor) that is a double-edged sword: janitored kills can provide the tigers with ironclad fakeclaims and burdens the town with WIFOM, but increases the chance that tigers can be tracked etc. This ended up frightening the tigers out of using this ability, most of the time, despite the fact that actual roles that threatened tigers choosing to janitor were rare (though of course they would not know that). Tigers also had a secret collective ability: being bulletproof against sharks. The idea behind all of the abilities being collective is that I did not want one tiger to be any more important than the others. I also wanted to test out these two new mechanics.

Sharks were designed to be very different than the tigers. Unlike the tigers, there was a large degree of difference in importance for different sharks. One shark couldn't kill and was least valuable; two had power roles. I wanted to see if this would create power dynamics in thread and out. The scum didn't fight much, but I'm sure Vi's role is a big part of what prompted her to throw herself off of the rafters, as it were. The role cop was put in as a complement to the tigers' janitor ability; the framer was put in to counter the shark cop. The weak goon, though a surface disadvantage for the sharks, was actually a sort of godfather for the psychiatrist (psychologist) and therefore a secret benefit as well.

For town, I wanted the power roles to be different and fun while synergizing with the scum abilities without giving too much away. Since the sharks got extra numbers, I needed to give town a good way to foil them; that was implosion, the shark cop. This role's complement, the tiger doctor, was meant to be a foil for the tigers but not the sharks, as the sharks already were at a kill disadvantage with not being able to kill tigers. The roleblocker was a powerrole that targeted the sharks more than the tigers, because the tigers could send two or more people for a kill, meaning that if one was roleblocked, the kill would still go through. The pyschiatrist/psychologist, though weak, targeted tigers because by the end of Night 1, it was possible that all three tigers would return "guilty" while only one shark would. The mason lovers matchmakers were another double-edged sword; their ability was powerful, though required a flip to be useful, and their masonry was a tool that could be used to a strong pair's advantage - though all weakened, of course, by the fact that they were lovers. The fisherman was essentially a weakened JOAT whose skills were the most powerful in the game as they weren't at all factional, but he couldn't plan ahead as he would not know if or when he received his powers. The coroner and DNA analyst was a very powerful role that targeted tigers primarily, but also had the potential to catch sharks. Test 1 (coroner ability) had the potential to catch a tiger in a fakeclaim but was useful for town regardless, and Test 2 (DNA Analyst) had the potential to catch the ENTIRE TIGER SCUMTEAM AT ONCE (though this was astronomically unlikely). As it turned out, Elmo died using Test 1 and never used Test 2. The poisoner was easily the swingiest, and most pivotal, role for the town. Its kills could not be prevented except by the town roleblocker and could not be predicted; the poisoner could kill sharks OR tigers.

Thoughts on this, and how it worked out, and anywhere I went wrong?

Also, I hope everyone enjoyed the flavor as much as I enjoyed writing it!

You think town should have more power, or more numbers?

MBL, thanks for playing. Is "fancy" good or bad? I welcome talks of scumhunting.

The town did a good job of scumhunting GNR on Day 1, and for the most part abysmal after that. DGB primarily drove the Fate wagon.

There were two extremely interesting plays in this game: redFF claiming shark miller and being counterclaimed tiger miller by TOWN, and Vi claiming shark.

Watching those two plays unfold was really glorious, as well as watching sharkscum Fate and tigerscum DGB go after each other and both be right. That play was really critical; if DGB had lost that 1v1, I think sharks would have probably won as Fate never would have been forced to claim and would have had credit from pushing DGB.

David Xanatos, I disagree with you, though I appreciate your input. Four kills could have come from town, and you're neglecting the most important thing: sharks had TWO methods of finding tigers. The role cop, and failed kills. The sharks had the most information about the set-up from the start.

[Amrun]

He got to find things and use them in the same night, but there was no guarantee that he would find them. He had at least 3 unsuccessful searches, and was lucky to have as many successful searches as he did.

If town had been overpowered, that would be a good nerf, but it wasn't. Like I said, the original role isn't based on an inventor, but a JOAT.

I understand your issue with the roleblock/non-roleblock issue, but to be honest, that entire role confused me. It is not something I ever considered existing for myself, so when you asked me, I just had to make a split second decision, whereas if I'd put the role in from the beginning, I'd have triple-checked resolution with my reviewers. So, granted.

[Amrun]

Oh, I see. The searching function was not effected by roleblocks, for mechanic and flavor reasons, but any ACTION would have been treated as usual for roleblocks. For example, if someone had blocked his kill, camn would just have not died. Like usual.

[Amrun]

It was pretty ironic that you poisoned the lovers who had just gotten town results on you.

[Amrun]

I loved Quilford's PMs. The tiger ... SHARK one got him particularly adorably.

You definitely played an important part in the team, DGB. I got the impression you were unhappy a lot, so, sorry if I caused that.

[Amrun]

I'm glad. Do you think you'd have played differently, knowing your bp against sharks?

[Amrun]

Though, to be fair, I really did send him that clause that was so controversial in his fakeclaim.

[Amrun]

zMuffin was right about that; I just didn't want to give away what types of roles were in the game. I may have changed it upon review if it hadn't have been a fakeclaim, as I had reviewers poring over my PMs to catch things like that, but not my fakeclaims. *shrug*
