I can see a lot of confusion coming, particularly from the three T's.

[Path-Shaper]

got a lot of questions from penutbutta

and my answer

Nosferatu (anarch)

You have been Embraced by a nosferatu. The curse of your bloodline deforms your physical appearance, ,aking it impossible for you to live among the humans. Your clan is shunned by the rest of the vampire society. The sense of revolt is triggered despite the cloak that conceals your identity. Thus, it takes 1 less vote to lynch you than is necessary for the rest of the players

The upside of this, your clan is adept at concealing themselves. You have a 1-shot BP against night kills. Your sneaky manner also means you cannot be tracked and possessed.

lol, I like this role. I'm more-lynchable than normal so standing out is a huge problem but I'm also (somewhat) safe against being outright killed which means I have a lot of potential to survive for a while.

I have some questions, because I'm still fairly new to Mafia.

About 1-shot BP...

So it's passive and will automatically activate without me using it?
If it activates, will I get any information about who targetted me for a kill, or will I at least get information that the BP was used?
Does 1-shot mean that once it's used up I'm killable as normal (provided I'm not saved somehow by another player's ability)?
About being sneaky...

Does 'tracked' mean by a finder? If so, what will happen if I'm targetted by a tracking ability?
Does 'possessed' mean by a vote-rigger? If so, what will happen if I'm targetted by a vote-rigging ability?
About being lynched...

Since I require one-less vote to lynch, if we start with 21 players does that mean I'm lynched at 10 instead of 11? And if I somehow get down to around say 7 players, that I am lynched in only 3 votes?
Also, what happens if in the above scenario (I HOPE I am not out Day 1...), I get 9 votes and someone else gets 10 votes... and then I get 10 votes and before a moderator sees and tallies it up, the other person gets the 11th vote. Are we BOTH lynched?
I want to say that while this role is extremely cool, it does not sound like one that has a good chance at surviving the entire game simply because it can be lynched easily. Maybe that's part of the strategy, to suck up extra votes at some point off of someone that has a good shot at carrying us to the end? Maybe I should reveal earlier to try and ensure I am NOT voted off, knowing that I am part of the 'town' faction and thus have the largest vote pool that can keep me from being lynched, assuming they believe me...

A lot to think about for passive abilities... Thanks!

1) you will be informed when your BP is gone. you will get no more information, and yes, form that point,an NK aimed at you will kill you.
2) FM (faceless man) works in two steps. night 1 you are "tracked", night 2, you are posessed, i.e, you die, and he takes over your alt.
your ability means you cannot be viable taget for the FM (one of the factions)
now, I am telling you this because you are new, but I expect you not to share this information on thread, all right?
3) Re: lynches. yes, the number of votes required to lynch you will always be one below the number announced in thread.
in the 9-10 votes scenario, since you have lreached the lynchable amount of votes first, the day would automatically end then. the 11th vote on the other person will have happened during the night, and will not count.

lol, I just tried to go alphabetical for once.

[Grief]

I notice he speaks of revealing, which is illegal, might be a good idea to point that rule out on thread?

[Path-Shaper]

more Silanah(Peanutbutta)

The temptation to be the first person to speak in the thread is great, but I think we both know exactly what that means... MORE ATTENTION, which I do NOT need considering my lynchability.

Probably going to lurk and post between 5th and 11th.

and Bent(telas) likes his role

Malkavian (Anarch)
All Malkavians carry a single curse through their bloodline—they are all incurably insane. You and your twin Liosan did not escape this fate. Despite this, you are capable of communicating with them at any time through your clan's version of telepathy.

Every night, the two of you can collectively ask the voices in your head to give the allegiance of one of the players.
Alternatively, before day ends, you may choose a player's name and submit it to the mods. The targeted player will be unable to communicate off thread during the night.

Confirmed and cool! Also, may not post for 3 hours or so...when my vacation starts...brace yourselves, lol.

revealing role is not illegal

he just can't say why.

I want them to start swapping avatars so badly.
It'd be even worse than the Rome game, the epic confusion that would reign would be so awesome...

Yes but he saying reveal and knowing he's in biggest group, assuming they believe him...
Which implies he'll reveal faction to get faction support.

Oh, and please put either player name or alt name, or even both, but don't switch about, i'm getting confused already

[Path-Shaper]

oh, god... I can imagine

anyhow. I've got to finally do some work.

thread seems to be empty, save fro venge ( I do so love when he RPs)

i'll be around, but feel free to jump into PS.

well, this IS a town v. scum
Anarchs = town
claiming town is what any sane vampire would do.

and k, i'll put both in the future

I've given Lace SH pass, cause he wants to spectate...

Well, that's something.

FM, awesome. So, Bargy, you or me first?

JA here by the way. I should warn that tomorrow I'm flying to Canada, so I'll be silent for a while. Too bad we can't switch now, with my new time zone I would mess with their minds

Anyways, I also have the problem that after next week I'll be on the road for three days (april 27th-30th), but we'll see how it goes at that time.

Toreador. (anarch)

Your clan is what people think of when they think of Succubi. Refened and delicate, yours is an artistic spirit, enamoured with beauty. Your appearance reflects this, and despite the cloac concealing your identity, other Kindred feel instant sympathy towards you. It thus takes an extra vote to lynch you

Cheerio

and a post from gem/Barghast asking to explain the FM mechanic. which I did.

Quote

Quote

Baali (Baali) barghast
You are the demon-worshipping, pure evil Baali. Along with your sibling Ruse you have sought refuge amongs the White Fangs, but now you are hunted once again. You may talk to them off thread at all times.
Your years of hiding from your fellow kindred, combined with your demonic disciplines, allowed you to develop new abilities. You may take on identity of any player. (i.e. you are an FM). This takes up two nights, and you must submit the same player's name on both of them. Both of you may take up different player's bodies, but only one off you ay attempt to shift each night.

You will win when you are the last ones standing.

'talk to them' - who is them? Just Ruse?

I love the FM thing. Can you explain how it works exactly?

just noticed I send Obdi/fener a PM telling him he's posession proof.
send a correction PM

Camarilla total defences:
1 lynch/nk BP
1 Posession BP
recruitment immunity.

Lasombra Antitribu (Anarch)
Most Lasombra are found within the ranks of the Sabbat, serving as its administrative leaders. Yours was a different fate, however, and now you are forced to seek refuge among the White fangs.
Your mastery of your Clan's abilities to manipulate the very shadows themselves allow you to force a player of your choice to be silenced during either day or night. The order must be sent in before the given game phase begins. You may not silence anyone during the first day/night. This power can be used once in 2 days/nights.
When a player is silenced, he or she may still post, but every second/third word (your choice) must be a word in a category of your choosing. (keep it tasteful, please!)

First off, what are the chances, this alt 2 games in a row! No one will know it is me

Secondly what do you mean word in a category of your choosing?
An example would be nice

Oh and let me get this straight, I can only use my power every 2nd 36 hour period?

yes, about the timing

category: cars, plants/animals/countries, etc. nouns only,

originally I was going to make them use African and Asian capitals at the beginning and end of every word, but then I thought I'd give you some choice.

Sorry about lack of FM pm... but such was the draw.

hope you have fun.

Couldn't resist making me play the harlotty type of Vampire, couldn't you? Had some hope you'd let me play a Bruja. Oh well, at the very least, I'm refined... but of course that's going to be 'mistaken' once again by the norwegian

sorry to dissapoint, but none of your adoring fans (morgy, Yellow) are playing in this

as for the role... well, I laughed, true.
but it was completely random. I don't believe in assigning roles
