Rocky Horror Picture Show - players suck, game over

[JaydragonKing]

i have no idea what happens and doesn't happen in this game because we're told jackshit

Not even a courtesy PM to all living players.

I don't think death is the prime concern for this type of game dude.

@lithrasil: Multiple players answered your question within a couple pages of you asking it. I suggest you pay more attention to the game thread before forming opinions about those who are willing to answer questions and those who ignore you.

So, what happens if a CL is Vig'ed? According to the wiki the common variant is that the cult will stop spreading but will still try to survive to attain majority (which I guess is nigh to impossible, considering there is no lynch).

A common variation is for cultists all to commit suicide if their leader dies, while a third uncommon variation is for the members to be able to recruit if the leader dies (I imagine that could be done either by an internal vote in their PT on the target, or maybe a new leader would get elected .. something like when a Mafia GF dies and someone else is promoted to be their successor).

So, anyway, WHICH of these variations is the case here? Anyone??

I don't think anyone who is willing to answer knows
Ask the mod privately

Honestly I think that team is fucked and can't get converted while the neutrals and the other cult Duke it out for members.

So you think it's the most common variant, and the cult just stops spreading but the cultists keep on living?

[JaydragonKing]

Well this game ends when there is no more possible conversions, so yeah.

[Varsoon]

Well, I assume this game ends when there is no more possible conversions, so yeah.

Fixed that for you
Unless you're cult leader
At which point, I don't give a fuck because I have no means of doing dick all to stop you anyway.

[Ms Columbo]

I think my mutant may make for a good wagon, maybe! That is unless there's strong opposition to him in particular.

You have a mutant, cool!

Can we hug him and pet him and call him George?

[Ms Columbo]

More seriously, I wish I had something useful to offer. Hopefully, we'll have more to go on once Play resumes.

[Venmar]

i think we might as well not post as long as the game is in pause

[Venmar]

i'm also under the impression that someone caused the pause and we might stuck in this hellish purgatory for a while

#fun

[Varsoon]

It was me, I caused the pause, whacha gonna do about it?
Oh, literally nothing because there's no mechanical town agency?
Sucks to suck, I guess.

If this game works the way you think it does, then what's stopping both cults from full-claiming to avoid cross-recruiting and then just having one cult recruit at the start of Play and another recruit any time something hits L-Cult and have the cult quickhammer?
Fucking dumb.

[Varsoon]

If there really are no vigilante mechanics and the entire game is meant to be town outsmarting cult with immunize shots versus recruit shots, there's no danger in cult outting themselves so long as their recruits can happen at instant speeds during the Play phase.

Am I right or am I wrong here?

[Porkens]

Yep, recruit me please I don't wanna get rolled

[Varsoon]

Ay, man, if I was cult, I'd recruit you D1.

[CheekyTeeky]

I'm still here. Hi. Have I missed anything important?

[Vecna]

I have no way of answering your question Venmar

[Lifthrasil]

@Cerberus: sorry! You're right.

@Thread: I wonder if there is any Deprogrammer or something. There must be a way for us to combat the cults apart from the immunizing vote. Otherwise the neutral faction loses automatically.
*sigh* I wish this was an open setup. Cult games can work out with a (mostly) open setup, but right now I have the feeling that we are very much shooting in the dark.

Also: please end this pause!

VOTE: RESUME PLAY!

[Vecna]

That phase shift sure seemed pretty uneventful though.

[Vecna]

Oh also, I asked the mod about it, and his responses made it seem like that flavour text about the virgins didnt actually reduce the deadline.

[TheGoldenParadox]

Ok obviously we need to start taking this seriously. I agree that we should read this game as a regular scum/town game, because that's what it is as far as we know. I am going to ask that gamma explain his reasoning for fake out replace out and a complete reads list from everyone NOW.

no

[Inferno390]

Evidently the vig sucks

Why?

Because the two I put a target on are still alive.

Tags in here don't mean anything. Why would a vig listen to you?

Why not.
I’m 1/1 on my vig shots.

[drealmerz7]

PLAY resumes
