JOAT uPick | FIN!

[Cabd]

Yeah it was a day one ability cop of joy. For sure.

[Sakura Hana]

When i saw the vengeful i was like "Welp we've been had" then thought "Wait if she used her day ability cop then she cant fire", but then i died so that was wrong

[Sakura Hana]

Funny thought i had after i died?
If bell had been blown up by the vest, after we elimmed Hu tao, that's 2 deaths, Hu Tao wouldnt have been able to fire either. Either that or Bell survives i guess.

[Doctor Drew]

As i said in the dead PT, i feel like Lap and Drew both kinda saved the game at the end there when everyone was giving MariaR a pass for her "self-resolving" claim.
Drew for spotting MariaR targeting Joyboy and Lap for saving Cabd from dying.

I still don't understand how Hu visited Joy though

Probably Day 1 using her ability checker, couldnt have been day 2 coz otherwise she couldnt have used the vengeful.

My role said specifically only people who visit at night

[Bell]

Thank you for modding ff.
That was a lot of work and you made the game smooth.

Then idk, maybe she used a factional ability on e N1.

[Sakura Hana]

Honestly, idk how the maelstrom of redirections worked, i do wonder if my role would've been redirected or MariaR's if she had been one of my targets N1.
I also dont know how im higher in NAR than a bus driver but not a redirector, but welp, i guess you gotta do what you gotta do with so many redirections.

[fferyllt]

I knew that most players would probably ask for dayvig and other killing roles, but I was determined for the game not to decimate itself by day 2. I kept the unusual killing roles, and loved the bomb vest that lemon.tangerine requested, though I tweaked it some.

Instead of bullet hell, this game was redirect hell.

And btw, I loved all the quirky roles that were suggested and tried to make room for every one of them!

[Sakura Hana]

Heh, i thought the Instigator role was pretty cool, at least i havent seen one that forces 2 people to target each other before, so i thought i'd give it a try. I picked it mostly for fun, then realized later that if i picked 2 scum, the chances of redirecting the NK towards themselves was pretty high lol.

I mean, your signup thread literally was asking for it.

Did Greedant actually choose their roles?

Yes.

[Sakura Hana]

Either way i had fun, i've always liked role madness/upicks

[Prism]

I'll probably have more to say when I get my laptop out tomorrow but until then, I want to warn everyone that you are about to read me absolutely LOSING MY MIND in the Dead PT

[Bell]

Glad you had fun Sakura

[fferyllt]

    Giving someone swat gear, as in a bulletproof vest and a 1-shot gun. For fun you could add a chance where the gun malfunctions and shoots the player when they try shooting the gun at someone.

    1-Shot Activated Companion (Learns the information upon using the ability)

[fferyllt]

I was soooo tempted by the N0 kingmaker Dunnstral requested, but just couldn't introduce that kind of randomness and remove the rest of the players' agency on day 1.

[Alisae]

I had fun with my role tho I wish I got to use it to my full potential instead of getting shot n2 but it is what it is
idunno if I was strongman'd or not

[Doctor Drew]

Aww man, would have loved a masonizer

[Prism]

The second Maria misread her role I essentially go "Well that's not good, she has to be careful with that because it can put the team in autoloss"

Fires it off N1 for near-autoloss, then

actually publicly claims it

into a hard CC to seal putting scum into Day 2 mechanical autoloss. Two thrown bones via mod language to tip off that she misread the power go unnoticed.

Which is a shame because she only really made that one mistake and played absolutely exceptionally otherwise.

Then

somehow things got crazier

, Maria should get mechanically wrecked three or four more times...only to miraculously and repeatedly fail upwards into a survivable position until Drew finally put a stop to it.

Absolutely insane game to witness.

[Alisae]

my dead neighborizer was so slow but it's probably fine for balance reasons for it to be so slow.
If it's a day ability that thing is soooooooooo good tho

I don't get why she let me live knowing this.

Also, you are welcome fellow comrades lol

[Prism]

Most of the balance stuff is moot with the Night 1 shenanigans+most of the scumteam getting steamrolled off of dayplay even without it but I probably would have stripped an investigative somewhere, and I regret we couldn't fit a dayvig in.

The major mechanical play imo was Cabd successfully linking up with Titus to get the double hider off, and obviously Titus watching a mafia player resolved a lot. I saw the watcher interaction possibility but Hider getting chained so effectively was great.

[Alisae]

I wanna read the wolf pt!
