Behind the Masks: Bolt from the Blue (GAME OVER!)

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

I didn't challenge you before. I'm issuing a different challenge.

[Jeanne11]

Well, I'll have to follow Tatsuya's example and decline cos I already accepted one.

[Lokiben]

When I run this game (and I will eventually) I am going to heavily edit the thief role to make it less unpredictable and game-controlling.

I'd say the Thief is far from game-controlling. All he can really do for himself if ensure he isn't poisoned, and he can only get so far with that before he reveals himself. There's plenty of other ways to die, chiefly executions and being guessed, but also the Man-At-Arms, Magician or Blackmailer. I don't think he makes the Dinner Phase any more unpredictable than it already is for anyone except the Poisoner. Plus, with roles like the Monk, Student, Actor, Blacksmith and Musician, you can't take much of anything without a grain of salt. It only acts during the Dinner Phase, which is way less important than the Challenge Phase, so I wouldn't call it very game-controlling either. The Man-At-Arms and Poisoner are the two most powerful roles, in my opinion, but they were designed that way.

That being said, it's still a young game, and there's a lot of tweaking and testing (This is the first ever game with the Actor, or this version of the Barbarian). So, if you feel like you've got a great role that you want to test, by all means don't let me discourage you. This is just my two cents on the Thief.

But I already accepted......

You can only challenge once, but you can accept as many challenges as you are offered.

Set Challenges:

The Blue Dragon will duel with the Chicken
The Swordfish will dance with the White Cat
The Mouse will duel with the Hornet
The Fox will duel with the Giraffe
The Kangaroo will duel with the Blue Dragon
The Hornet will dance with the Fox
The Wolf will duel with the Red Dragon
The Red Dragon will dance with the Spider
The Giraffe will duel with the White Cat
The Chicken will dance with the Dog

Denied Challenges:

The Cat was denied a dance by the Dog

No challenge:

The White Cat
The Dog (

I assume? Next time an explicit

"/no challenge"

would be nice.

)

It is now Action Phase 1.

I will PM the expected winners of the duels and dances to the Blackmailer and Musician shortly. Since this is the first round, no one is being executed and we will skip the Voting Phase. The Poisoner, which normally acts during the Voting Phase, will act now.

Also, now is the time for everyone to send in their gifts! You can pick one gift for every challenge you participate in. Please remember that Free Guesses, Guess Immunity, and Premium Food are consumed immediately (see what I did there?), meaning that you must use them during the upcoming Dinner Phase. PM your gift choices to me. Gifts will be announced at the end of the Action Phase, which ends in 24 hours. If you don't PM me, you receive nothing.

*Blacksmith, right? Not blackmailer? Sorry, just want to be sure.

I have a busy day today, and won't be able to update until I get home in about ten hours. As of now, I still need gifts from the Cat, Fox (You only submitted one, you can take another gift, bud), Dog, Giraffe, Swordfish, Blue Dragon, and Kangaroo.

Sent you pm

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

I, The Cat didn't end up in a challenge, I didn't think I got any gifts.

[Lokiben]

You're right, my bad. Just waiting on a couple more people

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

I mean, I'll take a gift...

[Lokiben]

The Blue Dragon has won the duel against the Chicken

The Swordfish has lost the dance against the White Cat

The Mouse has lost the duel against the Hornet

The Fox has won the duel against the Giraffe

The Kangaroo has won the duel against the Blue Dragon

The Hornet has won the dance against the Fox

The Wolf has lost the duel against the Red Dragon

The Red Dragon has won the dance against the Spider

The Giraffe has lost the duel against the White Cat

The Chicken has lost the dance against the Dog

The Spider has lost the dance against the Red Dragon

It is now the Dinner Phase! Plate switches, public or private, will happen in the order that they are announced/PMed to me. The Dinner Phase will end after everyone has declared that they will

"/switch plates with ____"

or

"/noswitch"

. Roles including the Thief, Barbarian, Blackmailer, and Monk (if they wish to use their prayer) act during this phase. If you have a Free Guess, please submit your guess to me by PM. Remember, you can't guess at the roles of anyone with Guess Immunity (The Chicken, Fox, and Hornet)


Finally, I have created a Quicktopic Dead Chat, where dead players can speculate over the game and the roles of the living players, and pool together information. I will not reveal the everyone's roles or any other information there. When you die, I will PM you the link.

haha I win danse

Free Guess- during the upcoming Dinner Phase, you may make a guess as to a player’s role. If you are correct, they will be executed.

You may only choose one of this gift per round.

How does The Fox have two guesses?

I fucked up, that's how. It's supposed to be one Free Guess and Guess Immunity. Fixed now.


P-Edit: Don't worry, I've triple-checked everything else
