I do have feedback about my role as described though which is that scum blitzing in 5 way is instantly gamelosing, and you really want to avoid stuff like that.

Please do join more games, was great to play with you again after so long
Yeah my claim was partially fake in a way that made it harder for me, but i think it served me well for staying alive. Also my role was only useful to scum (this might be due a review in 2.0) so i wanted to stay away from that.
The Soul as describer might be a bit OP since the recipient is effectively unkillable without damning yourself
i've been considering running a sort-of sequel in the future with more players and more robust item mechanics (character-specific passives and tradable actives), but i might want a co-mod who is interested in that design aspect. this game was not very mechanically taxing, but i didn't end up doing everything i would have liked in the time i had available to dedicate to it.
also, i ended up bothering Isis midgame for questions a lot more than i had intended. i'm really thankful for the opportunity to run what was essentially a ready-made setup, and now i'd like to create my own.

I don't think the public announcing nightkill was great-it would have been better to exempt it or have it kick into gear AFTER nightkills imo-but it's worth noting that it was you happening to clear Hectic that made it extra brutal. It's OP enough without it but at least you can justify voting them all the way until the 3 way....but when you get wrecked that hard by how it interacted specifically with your role, that made it quite brutal.

fuckin' schrodinger's neighborhood was a classic isis moment but the roles were extremely interesting/fun even if not exactly balanced, which is never going to happen anyway with how this setup was designed (w/ roles being assigned before alignment)
every time i updated the thread, i also updated the tagline underneath the title in the first post. i went through a randomized list of the Rebirth fortunes that i'd done pregame. i like the current one, it was last in that list and i feel it's fitting to leave there.

I still enjoy playing scum, just this time around i wanted to chill by myself without too much pressure because i wasn't sure how much i would have committed to the game

i don't know, i thought Farkran played incredibly well given the circumstances and having his partner sniped unexpectedly, the game looks nothing like this sans-mechanics.
"You're the oddest juxtaposition of reasonable and unreasonable I've ever seen."
I don't think town meta was an issue this game, even though town meta atm is quite weak sitewide.
This town specifically was absolutely atrocious, and while I may have had the best reads I was by far the worst offender. Day 1 was lurker land with no town being proactive, Day 2 was extremely dysfunctional with bugspray lurking, at least 3 town players fundamentally not understanding basic mechanics, and my being extremely toxic and voting to literally concede the game. Town absolutely did not play well qualitatively lmao
In retrospect that would have been worse because that would have flipped bugspray lmao, catboi was the best shot in that regard and has a better towngame than me anyway
i probably won't join any games for a bit unless invited to something, however Farkran please invite me to something if you happen to play. thank you
"Sibling," Farkran asked, starting slowly.
