[ZZZX]

Gut meta and personal experiance.

although i didnt see enough scum ABR so I might eb wrong. but my gut says otherwise

[Drunken Pirates]

Albert, never, NEVER ask Titus to reveal her plans earlier than she wants. My vote definitely stays.

I have no plans yet. I am confused by things atm. One step at a time? *blinks*

~Titus

Wat?

I cannot plan without knowing the pieces on the board. You will see plans from me. Not just right now. :nod:

Gotta run.

Never discuss a plan without a plan. A useless move is a wasted move. which is a good movie not done.

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.

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.

I'm trying to figure out what on earth was going through your head when you wrote "pretty sure scum can i ask that in private anyway so..."

The specific timing of when the previous MC loses their protection and the newly voted MC gains their protection is probably not info that we want scum to have, ergo while I know the answer (at least inasmuch as it applies to me), I see no point in answering it.

I'd appreciate it if you explained what was going on in your head when you said something that looks a lot like you were thinking "pretty sure as scum I can ask that in private anyway so...": I'm totally open to you having an explanation that you were thinking something else, but that literally jumped off the page and smacked me in the face.

Question

Based on Steven universe mafia, is it safe to assume main characters are protagonists? I was reading a bit of back when it finished and flavour was pretty in line. I am pretty inclinted to believe Drixx based on that since his character is a main character in the game.

Also hi all.
~Lina

[Albert B. Rampage]

cant make any assumptions like that

[MaxwellPuckett]

SU mafia is actually exactly the reason I'm not calling Drixx town based on flavour alone.
I'll go into it if you want, but the short of it is that Varsoon likely gave mafia better fakeclaims this time around, which ups the chance of scum having main character fake claims.

[ZZZX]

I'm trying to figure out what on earth was going through your head when you wrote "pretty sure scum can i ask that in private anyway so..."

its common damn sense. If scum were bad enough not to know that I doubt we have a game at our hands.

There is no reason to know something scum will know about anyway. if we can know it then surely they can know.

town knows less than scum. not the opposite

so

ur nitpicking

and I dont like it frankly.

drixx common sense. COMMON SENSE>.

[ZZZX]

Are you expecting varsoon to go like hey yea here is common information everyone can know!

OH BUT I AM NOT TELLING SCUM WHO KNOW THAT COMMON INFORMATION BECAUSE #reasons?

Drixx come on.

or are you assuming

Scum: Can we kill thsi guy?

Scum2: Maybe let us ask mod?

scum: Nah yolo.

zzthing ffs give me a chance to thoroughly read the game plz

[DiamondSentinel]

So Varsoon gives fakeclaims?

Forever and always.
Don't assume that the flavor entails anything mechanical except for where it does.

[Sensei]

This probably isn't the most productive line of dialogue to be having. Even if the chance of scum not knowing the optimal time to kill an MC is probably small.

ZZZX might be town, though.

[Drunken Pirates]

okay I am caught up

I am also on the phone with titus.

I think drixx is town, zzthing and unfortunately possibly abr.

that is what I have so far.

[Rylai and Lina]

Ok we both agree to get this out of the way.

We are Emilia

We are a Miller. Flavour reason because we were falsely accused for the murder of our fiance amd got put into a prison but with the help of some friends escaped.

~Rylai and Lina

So you're Emilia? I read a lot of the flavor last night, and encountered that.

[DiamondSentinel]

Oh wait, I didn't even read the second line. FML

[Drunken Pirates]

hey hindu!

I have a lot about you from the commune!

what up

Same. I read flavour to have a grasp. I am really into flavour specing. Although it once bite me in the arse.

OOG:

I am actually planning to play the game on an emu cause it seems pretty awesome. I am a jrpg fan.

~Lina

[Sensei]

Is the game any good?

All this gorgeous artwork Varsoon is using for the flavor is tempting alone.

I really enjoy the game, but it can be quite difficult and directionless.
What really shines are the combat mechanics.
I also like that each character's scenario is roughly 8 hours long. You get a good feeling of 'progression' with minimal RPG grind.
I've probably returned to it more than any RPG for these reasons alone.

Bookmark post so I can follow this game from my mains topics.

Also hi all.
~Lina

Varsoon explicitly said after SU that he was going to alter his future fake claims for scum because SU was nearly completely breakable via flavor. In fact, given that Centipeedle is both a good and a bad character on the show, one could argue that it was in fact

completely

breakable by flavor.

cant make any assumptions like that

Agreed. That's why I referred to the fact that I actually have to earn a town read and don't expect my infodump to just make everyone go "oh, he's the main character"

SU mafia is actually exactly the reason I'm not calling Drixx town based on flavour alone.
I'll go into it if you want, but the short of it is that Varsoon likely gave mafia better fakeclaims this time around, which ups the chance of scum having main character fake claims.

This.

---

From a game setup spec PoV, I am not at all surprised that I'm town and I started out as the MC. Giving the informed minority good fake claims and also giving them the initiative to start with would be quite difficult the balance. Folks need to think this stuff through for themselves though.

All this gorgeous artwork Varsoon is using for the flavor is tempting alone.

Yes. Varsoon picks really good (and often fairly overlooked and underrated) stuff to feature his themes around. It's awesomesauce™
