Rocky Horror Picture Show - players suck, game over

[Lifthrasil]

All i know is if I keep my abilities after getting recruited, ah man, that’s so cool. But for that full effect to be there, I need to be recruited early. My objective is to make sure I win, and with alignment changes, one has to take that into consideration.

So do abilities go away if recruited?

So, you ARE advertising that you want to be recruited and you are fishing for other PRs. If someone would reply to your question about whether his powers would go away or not, they would reveal that they have powers...

@all others: let's get this over with. Vote Inferno now and in the next play phase let's vote as quickly as possible to try to immunize enough people that the game becomes unwinnable for the cults. Unless, of course, someone has a better strategy.

Though more importantly, they'd be revealing they had been recruited, kek.

Unless you were expecting the PRs to have a line on their role card about whether or not they lose their ability upon recruitment.

Voting as fast as possible is a stupid strategy. The odds that enough of us are online in time to quick lynch before the cults have a chance to submit their recruitments is very slim and instead hurts any PRs who did not get on in time to submit their own actions.

"Some moderators will allow any recruited town power roles to retain their original powers despite their alignment change. When this is allowed, the leader is often called an Improved Cult Leader"

I don't know why any of you chumps are assuming any level of normalcy with this game.

[Varsoon]

Yeah, 'cus when I think 'drealmerz game', I really think 'totally normal mechanics, straight from the wiki!'

[Cerberus v666]

@Cerberus, who did you jailkeep yesterday and when during the play phase was it? If it was right at the start / very close to the start then I think we should vote to immunise that player since it would be unlikely they were recruited yesterday.

Chickadee, on Fri Feb 02 at 10:10 am, MST.

Basically, at the same time as I made this post proposing we immunize her. Not super early in the day, but I expected her to be a low enough priority target for culting simply because she's an obvious target that I found it likely she'd still be unrecruited.

Oh.

I didn't know, Sensei. Carry on.

You. I like you.

I'm almost willing to vote for you for this reason alone, but...not quite.

So, out of the people who are here, the only ones who I expect to be both useful and capable of communicating their points in a fashion understandable to others are A50, Varsoon, Vecna,Gamma, and Chickadee. The ones who I expect to make sense most of the time are Varsoon, Vecna, Gamma, and Chickadee. The ones in that set who won't be super biased, consciously or not, are Varsoon, Vecna, and Chickadee.

I think Varsoon and Vecna are both crazy pretty often. I think that leaves me with just Chickadee as someone who is rational, useful and communicative.

Is that a good enough reason to make Chickadee immune? I think so.

VOTE: Vote: Chickadee

Cerb, I looked and didn't see it. Have you used your jail keep yet today? Sorry if I missed it while skimming.

Not something I'm going to state, because as I said, I'm done trying to use that power to allow the "town" to safely immunize people since they're apparently too incompetent to listen to the advice of someone who they were willing to go out of their way to ensure remained on their side.

I'm happier having the cult simply know that my ability exists, and that if they want to maximize their chance of successfully recruiting, they should do it earlier in the day, so we don't need to worry about them messing with our immunizations at the last minute.

[Chickadee]

Alright, well seeing as Vecna, Porkens, and myself are being blocked by Jay, I think we should immunize within that group.

VOTE: Porkens

@Jay, can actions suck as immunization still be taken against us? Again sorry if you said it and I missed it. I have good reason to ask this.

[Varsoon]

VOTE: Porkens
Cool with that.

[Cerberus v666]

Because it holds priority and, if successful, makes the people I target immobilized and unable to do their action REGARDLESS of the order of the action sent.

Let me be specific then, Cerberus. It prevents a player from preforming an action during the CYCLE. That means, with the exceptions of things like what happened to Dunker and Creature, and since it all occurs during the play phase, my action makes that target irrelevant.

So yeah, you could target me with no Ill effects, but I don't think someone with the rolename "Sonic Transducer" is a virgin type in the flavor of the game, so I'm probably unrecruitable already.

I think what we can conclude from this is that instead of killing roles we have a shit tone of roleblocking roles.

Like Jesus Jay, how come you can immobilise 3 people at once?

Because of the specfic nature of how my immobilization works. It doesn't stop someone from being recruited, because I had targeted Almost, Dunker, AND Screenplay last cycle.

My Roleblocking ability is more of an investigative kind.

OKAY, since I've been explaining my role little by little, this is the final part of it.

My ability is successful ONLY if they have an ability to block, and I can only do this up to five times. That's why I've been doing three a day so far even though technically I could do five.

That's how I know Screen, Almost, and Dunker aren't the cult leaders since they had no actions. for me to block, and also why I said I'm a type of investigative.

Because I get the words "action successful", not who it was successful on, I think. If I did all five and it came up as "1 time successful", I legit have no idea which one of those was the one who I blocked.

That's why I'm doing three at a time, so the odds are in my favor and I can reason which of them was blocked.

And Chickadee, This will confirm you do in fact have an ability for the next cycle.

This is everything we know about this ability. Nothing about it indicates those who were targeted have any protections on them.

[Chickadee]

Hmm, true, ok.
I'm still gonna leave my vote where it currently is for now.

[Cerberus v666]

@chickadee: Is there value in you telling us a minimum number for how many more vig shots you have? Or rather, is there HARM in it. I can imagine there being value in terms of us knowing how heavily we have to lean on roleblocking/protectives versus hoping for awesome vig shots, but I'm uncertain if it hurts us more than helps us.

[Chickadee]

I have a total of 3, and I also have something else I can do.

[mutantdevle]

Do you still plan to kill the person you tried to target today @Chickadee?

[Chickadee]

Undecided. I think better targets may come to the surface.

Let me guess .. you can cook??
