SAGA FRONTIER MAFIA (GAME END)

hi guys

what is going on

I am currently locked out of our account so I am waiting on titus to sort it out.

[ZZZX]

All of those are answered in the OP (except the first, which I think is PObvious)

Then excuse me to re-read it. I am bad at noticing details sometimes which is why I re-ask obv questions sometimes.

[Albert B. Rampage]

It's disappointing that only Drixx is going to spark up today. Feels like a wasted opportunity. I wanted to go on some adventures :/

@mod is there any info about weither drixx start as mc is allignment indicative,result from another role,pure flavor or are you unable to answer that question?

I am unable to answer that question.
The only info that you have is that Drixx is the MC for Day 1 and Night 1 and that Drixx does not have a Party.

@MOD can the MC be choosen for a few nights/days in a row?

is the MC voted today's protection valid starting today?

And is there any way for the MC to die"?

The Main Character must be chosen each day.
Drixx is currently immune to being lynched or killed normally--so yes?
The MC can only be killed via two or more players on the party targeting the MC (one of these players must submit a killing action). When multiple Party Members submit actions on the same target, all of their actions see 'upgraded priority' and will resolve before any other actions in NAR. Actions with this 'upgraded priority' still follow their own NAR structure, so if one Party member kills the MC and another doctor-protects the MC, the doc shot will still protect from the kill.

[ZZZX]

The thing people need to be aware of is that the MC isn't actually completely immune until LYLO. If they choose a party unwisely, the party is able to get through the immunity. That seems like a strong motivator for town to not only make sure the MC stays in town hands, but also to try and organize and keep scum out of the adventure party as much as possible. If the scum end up getting the MC, it also strikes me as a sort of Sophie's Choice for them because if they pull in a town party and slip or in some other way become widely scum read, the party can strip the protection ... but if they pick scum partners in the party, they make the game super easy for us.

This will be a wifom battle

my favorite kind of battles.

[Sensei]

Just had an idea.

Unlimited lurker purge. That is all.

You've been warned~

For giving me comment section flashbacks.

So, is Drixx the MC from a previous night, and we'll now vote for today's main character?

Nope. The vote today will be for tomorrow's Main Character.

I would suggest we leave this for later in the day. We haven't even had everyone check in yet. Someone might have some crazy cool role and just end up being the MC for the entire game, assuming they can demonstrate it and it's obvtown and such. Failing some reason to keep it on the same person, it's still probably a good idea to let the day transpire so we can try and avoid giving scum the MC.

Oh, I get it now, thanks Drixx.

Since you've no party, I think it'd be a great idea to adventure to Wakatu, because ghost towns are the best location to travel alone to. The full Silent Hill experience.

I second a visit to Wakatu from Drixx. Should be fun.

[ZZZX]

Just had an idea.

Unlimited lurker purge. That is all.

You've been warned~

no
VOTE: Sensei

I exercise my right to lurk at any moment if real life melts me. For thou I shall fight.

[ZZZX]

also if my understandment is correct we cant vote for an mc this day

meh

[Drixx]

Oh
and @Drixx are you town?

Yeah. I already said so when I said that I'm essentially a pseudo-IC and claimed my character.

I know you tend to be contrary ABR, but why on earth would you actually vote for an MC so early in day one? I can't think of a town motive for it. I'm going to be blunt and say that rationally it feels like scum doing something that nobody will think scum would do so early. You're already hard enough for me to read and trust ... why you gotta make it harder?

I think it would be interesting to have DGB as the Main Character. I want her to live a while in this game so I can play longer with her. There's not much to it other than that.

Fair enough. There's lots of people I like in this game. Given just how much the MC decides and how those decisions will impact the game, I am going to be way more likely to vote someone I maybe don't know so well but have a firm town read on when the day end grows near.

Albert ya town?

Ya dude. Do you think we should vote on the region to explore?

I asked for people to give me advice, but there's no vote. I'll decide and it is public knowledge what I decide.

Also

@MOD can the MC be choosen for a few nights/days in a row?

is the MC voted today's protection valid starting today?

And is there any way for the MC to die"?

The rules say there's a vote every day for the MC. I didn't see any prohibition against choosing the same person repeatedly.

I'm not sure whether it would be a good idea to clarify your 2nd question. No need to make life easy for scum. If they know they can't kill the person, no wasted shots. If they know they can, then they can subvert the mechanic altogether. Even if the prior MC just remains the MC instead of the game completely losing the MC and Party for a day and losing the adventure and spark, your question could lead to all sorts of bad outcomes. I hope Varsoon declines to answer it. I won't be revealing what I have been told privately, and I suggest any MCs who come after me follow my example.

Your third question is addressed in the mechanics info.

@Varsoon

- The sparks appear to give new abilities, and I suspect rewards for adventure may also do so. That's really close to (if not actually) role changing. Can you clarify whether or not that's the case? I think role changing is considered bastard, although what you've come up with doesn't strike me as being super bastard, since I see nothing that indicates a loss of existing ability. Anyway ... clarification would be useful.

V: Mid-game alignment changes are bastard, but this is not that.
Adventures and Sparking Techniques simply grant new abilities to players.
You will not lose your old abilities by gaining these new ones.

[Drunken Pirates]

Bee boop. Beeeep.

Need to read for detail, just confirming we got our role.

I will need to talk about ABR's approach with Mollie.

Pedit, what? You can't get in Mollie. Gah...

Hahaha you cocky bastard. You're the "starting MC", but if we vote for a new one today, a new MC will be crowned and will be able to select party members.

[Albert B. Rampage]

I'll say it again. We can demote Drixx and have ourselves a new MC for tonight.

[Drixx]

Just had an idea.

Unlimited lurker purge. That is all.

You've been warned~

I concur. I abhor lurking on principle, and this game's mechanics make it that much more undesireable.

Thanks for letting me know. I was thinking of visiting Baccarat when I read up on things. I started to try and speculate what each of the regions might mean, but Varsoon has already taught me (repeatedly) not to try and out-guess him.

[ZZZX]

Yeah. I already said so when I said that I'm essentially a pseudo-IC and claimed my character.

sorry but wrong answer.

I dont believe that flavor will solve games like this mostly

varsoon is one tricky tricky foking mod m8

also ill be honest over explination felt off

first impression not so great. not so bad either though

pedit: are you sure alb?

[Drunken Pirates]

hi guys

Aghhh

Yup.

pretty sure scum can i ask that in private anyway so...

I dont see any thing lost here. since its written in teh op and it was just me not understanding it.

[ZZZX]

Be right back guys!

[Albert B. Rampage]

Wait nevermind Drixx is correct, we can't change him tonight. :/

It really undercuts the mechanic when you have choices made for you Day 1 (arguably the longest day of any game).

[Albert B. Rampage]

Scum can kill anyone they want N1 except for Drixx. That's a scary thought.

[Drixx]

Fair enough. There's lots of people I like in this game. Given just how much the MC decides and how those decisions will impact the game, I am going to be way more likely to vote someone I maybe don't know so well but have a firm town read on when the day end grows near.

You misunderstand. You can vote for a new MC but they won't immediately supplant me. I and I alone will decide today's adventure (except, of course, that I already asked for thoughts on where to adventure). It will be publicly declared in the thread when I choose.

And no ... you can't vote a new MC today and have them take over and make a party. I'm not being cocky in the least. I'm just telling you how it works since I was told things that not everyone else was told.
