It is the Dawn before the beginning of Day 1. Game will unlock in a few hours.

There are 19 players left alive:

Alkend, Anthras, Barghast, Cast, D'riss, Desra, Eloth, Gait, Galain, Hanas, Jalan, Kalse, Korbas, Liosan, Mockra, Okaros, Rashan, Tellan, Trake.

No one has voted. Obviously.

Well, Fener was NKed on night zero.

Put that in there an watch the entire first day be about the possible game mechanics that allowed it. />/>

I'm out. See you later. (KL has the SH password. I didn't see anyone else asking for it.)

G'night.

Do I only need to achieve Parity with the edo people, or all townies?

As per the OP, you should treat this as town vs scum regardless of there being 3 clans in play.

Oh shit. This is my first (real) scum killer role. Lets hope I don't fuck up too bad
(I don't count being batman for a day)

Have fun. />

It's probably for the best I have no actions lol means I can relax a little this game

Hmm, a symp shouldn't really "relax" per se.

[Path-Shaper]

Interesting that the first 3 people on thread are two RI's in Edo castle and their own General.

[Path-Shaper]

Nice shootin', Tex.

I'm just shooting in the dark: Kalse= Ganoes.

In a sense, but if they figure out the killers aren't paired, this role becomes big.

hrm. close enuff to an RI

[Path-Shaper]

Yeah...giving Vengy of all people a vig.

So low TMDI but not M&P... Is that likely multiple roles or maybe recruiting?

Shin said "town versus scum although it involves three clans".
EDIT: So town is split up (but not likely to make a difference for this game).

The game centres on two seperate sieges, so a first venture might be that stuff can be unlocked when all defenders of one castle are eliminated, or some such thing.
Secondly, the OP speaks of eliminating killers: generals. Who is to say that there's no different scum role apart from killer?

edited to remove parentheses and add EDIT: sentence.

I think I'm learning. Tapper made the edit to emphasize the "town is split up" not to dismiss it, right?

Poor Tapper. Thinking got him killed in my last game too, if I remember correctly.

Ouch. But it's early, so maybe somebody else will draw attention.

And Blend looks to be overthinking it.


KL and Khell have SH password.

Nice!

Looks complex at first glance but it's actually a beautifully simple setup. I'm both happy and a mite disappointed not to be playing.

I think Brujah and Roldom have the potential for a good scum team. Azath and Lady Bliss both have a touch of inno in their play style which might help them out. But Venge with a vig...oh dear. I don't see that lasting long. Lisheo as the Aux general is very interesting, let's see how quickly Lishey's got back into the swing of mafia things />/>

A lot of our known big talkers and speculators are RIs - that is very good for the game I reckon.


@ Shin:

I'll be off on holiday late tomorrow, so actually I would have been a very very poor substitute if anyone drops out. Hope all 19 of your players check in!

We have 4 that haven't read their alt pm. TheDude/Eloth and Trake/Knucklehead are RI. But Brujah/Mockra and Peanutbutta/Cast are roled. Arai castle FujiGen and Vengy's Captain.

It is still way early though.

Shin made a fun one didn't he. I wonder how long it will take before the roled figure out that only half of the people are capable of being successfully targeted.

Hard to say. There's enough talk about two castles in the OP and 'their' castle in their role PMs to start making them think that not everyone is within range - but whether they do catch on is another matter.

I imagine that a few will realise fairly quickly. But the question is will they then seek to inform others of this and spread that belief, or will they choose to keep it a secret?

[Path-Shaper]

Resolution for everyone who is not a scum General. This of course will be used for symps as well:

Altname is dead. He was charactername and playername of Edo/Arai castle.

(no underlining on actual CI's)


All scum generals (including the Aux) will have scum CI's.

Altname is dead. He was charactername and playername, a Fujiwari General.

Thanks Khell. I have no doubt you would have made this one that much more interesting had you played.

I think one of my niches as a game-creator is taking well known themes and trying to balance them in new ways. In general I feel I have to leave the really complicated fully original setups to geniuses like D'rek and Tapper.

Although my skeleton makeup for the Sengoku finale is both ambitious and will be a superbitch to mod... And no, I will not give any hints.

[Path-Shaper]

If there is one mechanic that Sengoku players would be encouraged to remember going into future Chapters, it's the "inherit" mechanic. I will probably use it to some extent in every game going forward, and I won't always hint in PMs as to who might inherit something. Even RI's can become un-RI'd.

[Path-Shaper]

HAHAHAHAHA. Nailed it. And to think I once thought about banning you.

So, I just took some time to read over all the intro stuff careful. Here's my question: do the (what I am assuming is) 2 town factions win together? I am assuming so, otherwise it would be more a faction game than a town vs scum game, but if that's the case, what's the point of having 2 town factions besides the fact that it's two castles?

Could all town maybe just count as one faction, and there are 2 scum factions?

See D'riss this is a valid speculation.

Desra, I'd assume that they would win together as a win by town helps even the playing field by weakening the scum team. Though for the continued story I'm curious how Shin will play it if town wins yet scum is able to eliminate one town faction entirely.

So then what are we thinking number wise? 3 scum, 2 teams of 8 town each? 5 scum, 2 teams of 7 town each?

Considering we only have to kill off the scum general(s), it seems to me that scum would have a slightly bigger than normal team, so I'd lean more towards 5 scum. Any thoughts?

My initial guess is that there will be 2 groups of scum killers (generals) since there are 2 clans of town forces. Maybe a symp for each killer who knows only his boss. Would the 2 killers know each other? Any comms? Are there other scum roles besides these 2?

A more proficient game creating player could perhaps comment on balance at this point.

No shit. And with more than one sentence. I wonder if he's feeling ok.
