Cooldog: double check your role PM. Are you sure no one else can go to Wakatu? What happens if someone else tries? PM the mod for clarification if you're not sure.

Drixx: PM the mod right now, ask if you can adventure to Wakatu if you want to, or if there's anything stopping you from doing so.

I submitted it as an adventure placeholder earlier and was given no objection. I can ask, but Varsoon generally won't answer a question designed to discern someone's alignment.

Flavor wise, Gen as an enabler for Wataku makes sense, but it kinds makes more sense as something like what ABR said, adventuring in a certain area gives special benefits if he's involved, but I don't see why we couldn't go to Wataku even if his extra whatever isn't enabled. I guess you could get a failure on your adventure attempt?

@Varsoon

Can adventures fail for any reason, IE the people in the party don't get whatever is in that area

[DiamondSentinel]

Ahem,

e.g.

[Sensei]

oh boy

[Varsoon]

@Varsoon

Can adventures fail for any reason, IE the people in the party don't get whatever is in that area

Adventures can not 'fail', however,
Each REGION can only ever be visited a single time (unless specifically noted by that region--the party will discover this upon adventuring).
Some REGIONS may grant unique rewards to certain characters.
So, for instance, let's say you are Cotton and Cotton has the special ability that if he visits IRPO, he gains 1x Cop shot.
If the Party visits IRPO without Cotton, they'll still get the basic rewards for visiting IRPO, but Cotton won't gain the 1x Cop shot.
Similarly, some REGIONS might have hidden rewards for specific players--so Cotton might not know visiting IRPO uniquely grants him a Cop shot.
Regardless of all of this, a REGION will always grant an award.
If the MC selects a REGION they are ineligible to visit (one that has been visited before, for instance), I will ask them to make a different choice at the end of the day phase but I will not prompt them until then.

The rewards are somewhat arbitrary to the flavor of SaGa Frontier.
For instance; In Asellus' story, when she returns to Shrike, she fights the Fire Sage and learns to use her first 'Mystic' ability--a very important part of her campaign.
In this themed mafia game, an Asellus role might not necessarily gain anything unique for visiting Shrike.
In short, don't overthink it. Every Region has varied enough content in the source material that it's nearly impossible that you'll figure out exactly what REGION might give exactly what reward.

Gen scratched at the stubble growing on his chin, wondering how long it had been since he had a drink. It wasn't too long ago that he had roughed up some of Caballero's goons and since then, he'd been on the lam from region to region, hoping to settle down. It just seemed like every one disappointment lead to another--ever since Trinity wiped Wakatu off the maps, Gen felt like he was quickly spiraling down towards the same fate.

In the back alleys of Koorong, Caballero's gang finally managed to surround him. A skeleton pointed a shaking, bony finger, murmuring, "That's him! That's the guy who used a steel pipe like a sword! The only swordsmen with that skill nowadays are from Wakatu!"

The flare of a cigar lit up a shadowy figure's face. Caballero himself strutted forward, shaking his head. "Doesn't look like a samurai to me."

Gen didn't even assume a stance. He just laughed in the face of death, "How much is Trinity paying you? Can't imagine my head's worth much."

Caballero turned on a heel and tossed his cigar over his shoulder, "It's enough to drag me out to this dump. Whatever--waste him." Gen stood firmly despite the gunfire, his body only collapsing after every single round was spent. As his consciousness faded, his last thoughts lingered wistfully on what would have happened if he never got involved in any of this and just stayed back in that pub in Scrap. He died with a smile, the echo of bullet casings clamoring against the concrete of Koorong's alleyways reminding him of the band that would play late into the nights in that bar. When he finally fell, everyone involved left unnerved, knowing that it could have easily been them lying in the dirt if the swordsman had only fought back.

Gunfire has become more common than the chirping of birds in Koorong these days. No one would miss a vagrant samurai or even question what happened in the underbelly of the region. Those that did quickly found themselves on Trinity's lists and eventually suffered the same fate as Wakatu and it's people. Nowadays, legends of swordsmen capable of defeating any foe were just that--stories and tall tales to entertain children and drunkards. No one would ever set foot in Wakatu again. No one would ever be granted another sword by the Blade God and eventually, everyone would forget such a thing even existed in the first place.

For clarification;
Both CooLDoG and MaxwellPuckett were lynched.
However, due to certain mechanics, MaxwellPuckett is still alive and, ergo, their role will not flip here.
It's as if something or someone has... kept MaxwellPuckett from being lynched.

Silence was always looked down upon by other Mystics. Perhaps it was because he had no real power; he was a mute and for many Mystics, words were as powerful as any spell. It may be for this ostracism that Silence turned his back on Chateau Auguille and joined the InterRegional Police Organization. At the very least, it was through IRPO that he could find purpose in detaining the lowlifes and criminals that plagued the various regions. Due to their nature, most Mystics typically strayed from mortal affairs and became increasingly reclusive; Silence found pride in being capable of making actual change in the world.

When he was freed from Omble, Silence took the first opportunity he could to butt heads with Trinity. IRPO had been investigating Cindy Campbell for smuggling weapons and doing black-market business, but there were no definitive leads--except for those that Silence himself had. He stormed the Campbell building, his swordplay and phantasmal magic making quick work of the security. As he reached the top floor, Ms. Campbell fled to the roof. Silence gave pursuit, but what he saw atop that building was more monstrous than anything he was prepared for. Ms. Campbell's body had been grotesquely shifted, her flesh pulled across the frame of a giant spider. She cackled at the policeman, mocking him for coming alone. The Campbell leads died with Silence, cast from the roof of the tower. His body was found mangled from the fall, his natural grace and capacity to change this world forever forfeit.

What was even more startling is that Cindy Cambell's corpse was discovered on the roof--not the monstrosity that Silence saw, but the female guise she normally took on. At first sight, many believed it was Silence who did her in, but the wounds inflicted looked to be from a different weapon altogether. Silence's death would largely go unavenged, as news stations in many regions broadcast the grizzly murder of Cindy Cambell and police everywhere went from investigating her dealings in life to pursuing the mystery of who killed the most influential woman in all of the regions. For those that dug deeper, however, it became increasingly clear that Cindy Campbell's shady business had nothing to do with Trinity and everything to do with an even darker organization spoken of only in whispers--Black X.

Okay guys, first of all I am sorry for all the drama on Day 1. The first time exposure to large games with activity, didn't go well with me. And I am positive that today will be different.

Anyways, so my read on Drunken Pirates have changed quiet a bit. I had this suspicion on them because I observed them being manipulative towards how they approached the game (especially mollie), and when I read through pages 90 - 115, I realized that there is lot more to it. Especially #2474 was my eye opener and #2503 confirmed this read for me.

Now I think that both DP and ABR are town and they are driven towards taking control of the game. Each of them thinking that we can win the game with their role, which is okay individually. But as a team we need to compromise on some things.

ps: Sorry Mollie and Titus, I have a tendency to burst-out on folks who I scum read, and especially when they try to frame me. That is the reason that I got angry when Titus posted 4507. I know that its a game, and its something that I am trying to work on.

---

And another major change is that I don't see Diamond Sentinel as scum anymore. They have become more of a VI read right now, because of their approach towards the game, their scum hunt towards ABR and DP, their stance being solid, focused and defiant seems to make me feel that they may just be town and posting stupidly. And that lie that DP is talking about seems true to me too. I believe DS might have just skimmed through parts of the thread and made a gut read on DGB, rather than what he claimed as a Meta Read.

And, this was my perspective of DS during a reread of my notes (before my read on DP got changed).

Spoiler: Teasing Defiant

I also think that YoS's approach towards Skybird and Itlepip makes sense from a game mod and balance PoV. But Itlepip is scummier by posts, and a flip between the two would balance out the roles anyways, while it will also give us clarity on the other.

What do you think about this YoS?

---

And I was Role Blocked. Didn't get to catch up with the game entirely, but now I am pretty set with the reads I have and will ask them a few questions before posting the full reads list.

Also seems like we are up against an easy scum team lol. Nice shot Vig!
He was scummy as hell and three role blocks right off the bat didn't seem townie to me either.
