Open 886 The Fallen

[petapan]

You have fallen and can no longer post in the game thread. You can post here though.

Keep it spoiler-free, please.

I was up in the air whether to take the second trust as valid or not (arguably the day phase had been "hammered") but I figured ultimately the outcome would likely be the same and if people want to rush decisions I'll just let them

I probably should have added clarity in the ruleset on whether trusts reset or not after a fall. I kind of like it this way though because it adds a strategic incentive for mafia to not quickhammer when there are 2 mafia alive?

well, your wording wasn't exactly strong but one of the perils of this setup is always that someone can go rogue and fire off a trust regardless of what you say - not that many people were actually townreading patchwork!

[petapan]

in general people aren't expected to use V/LA like that, doing so would constitute an abuse of the system

has been a super chill game so far, very easy to mod

Idk what this means

V/LA is vacation/limited access, a player can declare when they're planning to be inactive for a period of time due to IRL constraints so they won't get prodded/replaced for inactivity by the mod. in theory a player could claim that for an excuse to lurk as mafia, but in general we're going by the honor system to trust that someone won't declare they're on vacation just so they won't have to post.

(also lurking in this setup isn't even beneficial for scum, you need to actually say things to get townread)

Thank you for trusting me, Drew.
I know it must have not been easy.

Also, you living would probably be net positive for town, but at the same time - me living a net negative.
I believe you trust falling me was a good move tbh.

there were a couple of people in thread who were reading you as town although i don't know if any would have pulled the trigger on the trust. in general, though, the setup will often come down to town having to find who is town among the players most difficult to townread, so i agree that was a clutch play by drew.
