It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I think I have a pretty good handle on it. If I'm having trouble parsing an action I'll talk to the person who submitted it if possible, and if there's something I can't figure out then Elements and I will just make our best judgement call.

poor ABR

Good luck, bud
beeboy - Everyone thought this game was made to troll pie but it was really made to troll pisskop.
Almost50 pisskop: Overall, that's a townie slot. Don't ask for specifics because with PK everything can be interpreted either way. It's probably WHEN he says/does things that matter, so it's more of a matter of conception rather than solid reasoning.

i think we know what drove ABR away from the site. and i think we know that it has nothing to do with this particular game.

this

we aren't voting a CO today. Like I'd be down with a vota vote after we coup but not now.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'll gladly execute Votato right after grabbing his powers.

I wish this game were actually being modded or I'd at least feel better if being told who was prodded. or maybe I missed it?

it's not impossible that all the COs could be dead (if both town) but if only vota is left when we coup that power is mine.

Only Arya and Votato are currently alive, we're in Week 3. When we get to Week 5 neither of them will be.

Failure to move armies + Porkens' scum assist == No CO powers for us! Would jailkeeping work?

Arya
: Can you release Nero's NPC?
Nero & Porkens
: Can you both jailkeep Arya and Votato to random castles?

We should have probably done this on D1, the loss of investigations for a few weeks is nothing compared to the loss of COs themselves. My bad.

Slow just means 2 phases. If it was done D1, we'd lose 2 COs, and by then the other 3 would be kidnapped: and if a scum kidnapper/Noble used their knowledge of where the CO was, both the kidnapper and the Noble would be under suspicion.
So we'd end up redistributing 3 CO powers via that.

Oh, right... Jailkeep takes two phases to move them, and the current phase will also consume a kill. :(

1. I moved to his castle and he hasn't killed me when I'm not a universal townread
2. gobble's lack of content makes him a shot in the dark instead of a good lynch, like Shireen's slot.

If you want to vote gobble to put pressure on him and make him obvtown, you're just relying on Auro's metaread on him which I hardly disagree with.

@PB: Gobbles' lack of content is a first for him. I don't think I've ever seen town!him with no content before.

I haven't seen scum!him with no content either. He repped in a game heavy on mechanics and I believe he was sick for a while. But more on the former, I'm having empathy 'cause I really want to play good ol' mafia and leave the mechanics to the rest of you, and maybe the dude feels flabbergasted by mech talk like I did when I repped in
