collectively conceding is the faster way out

well said Elon

[biancospino]

Well, that was a shorter day than most. I will do the VC shortly; I have no flavor pre-prepared so I will put that in some time later.

Do note that it still

is

technically possible for Town to win even without gamethrowing mechanical blunders from the Insurgence, otherwise I would have called the game already.

The Utopia Times

Vol XX/N.7309

16^th September 2079

---

Blood has started to pour. Is this just the beginning of their genocide?

The lifeless body of meowmeow has been found, laying on the cold cobblestone in a pool of her own blood.The bastards shot her with a single bullet to the back of the head, at point-blank range. It was a cowardly act of execution, a dishonorable act suitable to the likes of worms and rabid beasts, a senseless and monstrous butchery. They left their prey in full view of the world, as a mocking affront to our holy Commune, and to its enlighted ideals, as a testament to the cruel depravation and inhumanity of the rot pervading the Old World. They have finally shown their true colors, as it was inevitable. This blood, which shall never beforgotten, will forever taint their hands. What of us now, that they have shown us that nothing is off the table of their bloodlust?

Meowmeow will for years everlasting be remembered as the first martyr fallen by the enemy's hand, in our glorious fight against the oppression of the egoism and deceipt of the decadent reach of the falling Person, and its rapacious herald the Eagle.
The ink in our annals will forever mark the first blood spilled in the holy conflict to protect that last bastion of purity an joy; the last ray of the Earthly Paradise which they want snuffed out and corrupted to born the foul Angel.

A monument will be herected in the honor of her martyrdom in the camposanto. Don't let it be in vain. Don't let her be the last martyr.

For the greatest good of Utopia.

A fate worthy of a Traitor

Reports of Enchant abetting to unorthodox doctrines abounded. It has been said that he has been outside after curfew. That he held a diary full of writing unconforming to the Doctrine. That, under his shoes, were dirt from outside the Gates. Even, that in the smoky hubbub of the Tavern, that he murmured vainly the name of the Overseer.

The veracity of those allegations is irrelevant, as their mere existence is proof enough to ostracize him as heretic. His corpse, with a slit throat, has been found against the northern Wall. It was thrown in a ditch, and his names striken from the records of Memory: and nothing was lost.

Today's Weather Report

It doesn't matter. The times are too serious an bleak to occupy oneselves with such frivialities.

• Enchant was Assassinated!
  
• meowmeow was killed! She was a
  Citizen
  .

Today's budget is $60,000.
Today's billboard:

Billboard

Investigatives

• Intelligentia ($10,000)
  -- discover number of Insurgents
  
• Autopsy ($10,000)
  -- discover alignment of a dead target.
  
• Inquiry ($40,000)
  -- discover if the mod has ever lied.
  
• Census ($50,000)
  -- discover if, among five targets, exactly two are Insurgents. This project can't be bought unless 8 players are alive and at most one Insurgent is dead.
  
• Wiretap ($20,000)
  -- discover how many posts were made in the Insurgents' PT the last Day and the last Night.
  
• Torture ($40,000)
  -- torture target. Insurgent will always confess, but innocent Utopians also have a 25% chance of confessing just to escape the supplice.
  
• Recount ($60,000)
  -- discover if there were one or more Insurgent on the wagon for the last execution.

Voting Manipulation

N.B.: all effects that would set vote weight to two or more, or that would grant extra votes to single Utopians, are disabled if the number of living Citizens is less than two greater than the number of living Insurgents.

• Mayor election ($10,000)
  -- one Utopian is elected Mayor, and their vote (both for execution and for projects) is worth one-and-a-half for the rest of the game. The Mayor can be deposed during Days if a simple majority agrees. If a new Mayor is elected, the previous one is deposed.
  
• Election Security ($10,000)
  -- tomorrow, there will be no voting tricks (all vote weights will be one, secret extra votes won't count, etc.)
  
• Appointed Jury ($20,000)
  -- 3 targets Utopians get a PT during the next Day to decide for an extra shared vote to cast for execution.
  
• Injunction ($30,000)
  -- the vote for execution of target Utopian will be worth only one-half tomorrow. This project can only be bought if there are at least 5 players.

Miscellanea

• Sacrifice ($0)
  -- if target Utopian is not an Insurgent, they die and town gets $20,000 more in tomorrow's budget.
  
• Raffle ($10,000)
  -- 50% chance that a random Citizen gets a fruit.
  
• Neighborhood Watch ($20,000)
  -- tomorrow, Insurgents have no daytalk.
  
• Marriage ($20,000)
  -- two Utopians are united in marriage (if any of them is already married, they divorce first). They gain access to a Spouses' PT. When one of them dies for any reason, the other dies of a broken hearth.

Developments

• Inquisition Headquarters ($30,000)
  -- unlocks even more investigative projects.
  
• Board of Elections ($10,000)
  -- unlocks more voting manipulation projects.
  
• Guildhall ($20,000)
  -- unlocks more miscellanea projects
  
• Trading Outpost ($20,000)
  -- ups the daily budget to $70,000.
  
• Printing Press ($20,000)
  -- the Journal will also publish a page detailing future projects, hinting at currently locked higher-tier actions.

The day will end in (expired on 2023-09-03 15:17:29).

[Deal With The Devil]

HURT: Injunction

We could vote for Jury instead and give an extra vote to the three of us. It's not affected because it's not given to a singular Utopian.

- Alianna

[camelCasedSnivy]

oh yeah thats probably better for us but it might give scum more money

[Deal With The Devil]

Doing nothing gives scum $20K.

- Alianna

[camelCasedSnivy]

ya true

HURT: Appointed Jury

the mech hurts my brain

[Deal With The Devil]

HURT: Appointed Jury

- Alianna

[camelCasedSnivy]

so we decide the jury right so can we hammer no lim now

[Deal With The Devil]

I'd rather take some time.

- Alianna

[Deal With The Devil]

The worst thing that happens is scum hammers it. Town and scum are pursuing different projects, so we're not in a rush to get majority.

- Alianna

[camelCasedSnivy]

why cant scum pivot onto jury

[Deal With The Devil]

You have a point.
Are we sure there's no better alternative?

- Alianna

[camelCasedSnivy]

@biancospino for appointed jury, we decide who the members of the jury are as a vote correct?

[camelCasedSnivy]

just need to make sure man

[Deal With The Devil]

I think that's how it works, but the mod should clarify.

- Alianna

[camelCasedSnivy]

actually we can probably hammer it anyway
