I'm going to drop the rolefish claim since I just remembered that dramonic outed this being a no-vanilla game saying everybody has two cards of which you can only use one power on them apiece.

How about "likely town" "likely scum" and "likley netiher"?

Mod-WIFOM for reasons that UncertainKitten stated.

[animorpherv1]

Well, it's not like it's going to happen anyways....

[StrangerCoug]

Sorry, missed this.

I think that selective flavor claiming could be useful. We should at least announce our genders. I am feminine.

Everyone please answer the follwing question. How much do you know about tarot, divination, and western hermetic traditions in general? (I've been reading tarot for twenty-seven years, including a brief stint as a "psychic friend," public busking, working the occasional event booth, and tutoring a small number of students. I spent more than a decade of that time studying related arts.)

Masculine. I have an understanding of the deck itself, but as far as divination goes, I'm completely ignorant, and I have no clue what you're talking about by "western hermetic traditions".

Also, did you know that there are tarot decks that are not meant for divination at all, but game play? I have such a deck.

[animorpherv1]

Oh, I missed that as well. MY charachter is a female, but both my cards appear to have only one guy on both of them.

So, Role Name =/= tarot cards recieved.

That was in response to the riddle he posted.....

[Ythill]

Also, recently, I seem to be doing a half decent job at avoiding being on town lynches. I'm proud of myself.

It doesn't count if you're not posting. Glad to see you active here, I hope it continues.

No, I was trying to eliminate potential fakeclaims for the mafia. Because if they do get those "bad Tarots" then they might wanna claim a good one, and someone may counterclaim it, therby catching a scum.

There are no "bad tarot" though some may seem negatively aspected to the layman. I don't think that scumhunting based on card meanings is going to be worthwhile because it looks like dram isn't a cartomancer. However, it's possible he looked up some of the basic attributions online and somehow applied them to role interactions. I do have some ideas about which powers might be attached to which cards but they are guesses at best and something we probably shoulddn't be talking about anyway.

Interesting anomoly. Twelve players with two cards each = 24 cards, and yet there are only 22 in the major arcana. One of the following must be true: some people have minor arcana cards, some people have less than two cards, or there are duplicates.

On other matters, it's page three and I don't have any reads yet.

[Ythill]

Oh and, BTW Reck, my son is three.

Has the game even started yet?

Heh. Apparently, dramonic didn't explicitly say two cards—I thought he did. That by itself points to some people having less than two cards.

Well, I've just outed that I have two cards. If none of the Mafiates have more than one card, I'm a viable NK target now, but I'll just have to live with that. I may not be the best player out there, but that doesn't mean I don't try

@Ythill:

LOL. Yeah [insert ongoing game here] hasn't really captured my attention, but I was talking about another ongoing game.

I am male.

I have some fleeting experience with Tarot, but I'm by no means an expert.

Missed this earlier. You mean tarrochini? I've played a few times, I think the deck is exactly the same.

Scratch that. I have one read.

For anyone womdering about the game (tarrochi) it can be found here with a bit of digging.

That's one such game. There's also French tarot, Koenigsrufen...

[Capn]

Whenever I join a theme game, everyone gets enraptured by the flavor..


That's it. I'm ignoring this until dram posts everything.

[Switz]

Late-ish to the party, I'm masculine and have some basic Tarot knowledge gleaned from the Internet. Nothing more than some basic meanings and suchlike though.

Interesting call by Ythill on the number of Major Arcana =/= 24. Not really sure why he mentioned it though, because it would have been a wonderful thing to keep under wraps if scum do only have 1 card apiece--although that's obviously not confirmed by any stretch of the imagination.

As for the rest of the game, Ani's plan is dumb at best and scummy at worst, because if everyone's cards are like mine, their abilities are ambiguously-aligned and not specifically mafia- or town-aligned. They could swing either way, depending on the alignment of the user.

But then StrangerCoug is jumping on and off your bandwagon in the span of two posts and trying to push a "town by ignorance" defense, so I'm thinking that's a better place for my vote.

Hold up on the votes, game's not even started yet.

Control issues much?

[Switz]

Oh, sorry, for some reason I thought it had. Aside from half the game voting as well.

On that note, why am I the only person you've bothered to correct?
