Daniel Anix Presents: The 20th Anniversary of UPick Game

[Bingle]

Were they being starved I thought they just didn’t get any food and or, they were overpopulated.

They were segregated and forced to live in the elephant graveyard, a series of tar pits at the edge of the pride lands that had no food or resources.

For those wondering about redirect madness (zefiend truly lived to his Chaos Lord role):

First night, since zefiend didn't post at all, he turned into Order Peasant and all abilities redirected to him. He was therefore roleblocked (taking it off HEM, this game could have gone a lot different if HEM had chosen to kill after all), immune to zeroing the next day (taking it off Pooky)

Night 2, zefiend's redirect ability is active and he extends it to WePick. He is targeted by WePick and it bounces to D AniX, who is indeed not user-aligned and WePick gets said result. WePick is targeted by HEM, which bounces to jjh who then uses THEIR redirect ability to bounce it to D AniX. Dann didn't make a choice and so nobody is immune to zeroing.

[AniX]

The reason I made the "Please know I cannot guarantee target switching" is HEM messaged me like an hour before deadline to switch to Skygazer. This would be no problem except I, in an effort to launch the Day speedily, had already resolved the redirect from WePick to jjh and since that triggers a jjh decision, I couldn't take it back since jjh already knew someone had targeted them.

the nostalgia of a haphazardly slapped together game I love it

[AniX]

That's my secret: The game actually took me a full week to create specifically because I wanted it to appear to have been haphazardly slapped together. It is the "jeans that come with holes already in them" of games.

Segmented night phases. They work.

definitely had that vintage AIM chatroom feeling that I've been missing for so long

[AniX]

I'm glad you got that feeling because that my primary intent!

[Lukewarm]

I wasn't gonna go against the people who thought we were cleared by Skygazer, but my interpretation of her result along with our "ability"

You will appear

Admin-aligned

in all circumstances that would reveal alignment, including death.

is that getting the result that we were user aligned was a "Cabal lied" result, e.g., guilty.

Yeah, I liked Skygazer's ability more on paper than in practice because it was a lot of thread watching (Sorry to everyone who got it slow!) and I quickly realized that a honest result from someone who is supposed to ping as Admin would be counterproof of that.

I tried to break this knot of my own design by (attempting to) phrase it in such a way that it seemed shady: "You have the same win condition"

Could you not have said something about our oracle or our flavorncop to circumvent this?

[Lukewarm]

Also, were all of our oracle results true?

[Dannflor]

so how come jjh's day action worked

[Lukewarm]

zefiend is not admin aligned given to us in the middle of the nightphase

why was this treated as a guilty?

My question was already answered!

Yeah, if a night action triggers another player decision, you can just slap on a dawn where that can be resolved before the day starts up

[AniX]

Also, were all of our oracle results true?

Yes

[Radical Rat]

He misspoke. The actual result we got was not USER aligned

[Lukewarm]

Also, were all of our oracle results true?

Yes

There was some debate in the hydra chat that the wording of our ability meant that if we were roleblocked, we would get lied to (instead of getting no result).

The one about all targets on 1 person both nights felt hard to be true, but I saw your post explaining it after I asked.

[fferyllt]

Also, were all of our oracle results true?

Yes

Oh, when we noticed pooky wasn't included in the true partial claims list we weren't sure what to make of that.

[AniX]

Me not remembering is what that was. I originally wrote it without the list and then was like "I will absolutely miss some random fake claim and ruin this game".

[AniX]

I ended up making it more confusing though because I did miss a claim but it WAS a real one.

[Lukewarm]

Was this your intent, or would we have not gotten a result?

[Doctor Drew]

Our first guilty was a roleblock with no nk, our second guilty was: zefiend is not admin aligned given to us in the middle of the nightphase and our third result was hem is not user aligned. Also drew was least valuable player because he only got back to me after I’d already finished my whiskeys when I went for sushi last week.

You aren't supposed to finish drinking whiskey.....you can never leave the whiskey pocket!

If anyone else needs someone to carry their 11 person hydra......hit me up
