Sweet. I like that character a lot.

So do I, this is Malaz though, there are many characters we like

OMGs I'm who I always wanted to be - my absolute hero Tattersail!!!

Oh, hang on a minute, this is the character Tattersail from that stupid book series, not the Tattersail of Malazan Empire forum fame. Now I is sad

Now I have to go back to being boring, rubbish Khell, always standing in Tatts' shadow, never knowing the full glory of being Tatts, picking the names of Liverpool players for passwords (hmm, what would happen if entered 'sturridge' as a password in every alt playing )

Anyways, hello

I'm assuming you have the same finder/guard ability as me? From the wording in my role PM, I get the feeling we're not the only players with power-swapping abilities. Sounds like at least one - probably more - alts can have a kill as their 'active' power, meaning sometimes they might have something else. Or I'm just reading it wrong.

Hello O wise one. Integrity is your name and I know you wouldn't want to guess passwords.

It was crazy the Tattersail Alt fell to you, nothing from my end I promise, but I will like to see how you handle her

So am I a RI with extra know-hedge? or a lover combo? Or is there a secret ability hidden in the I've got his back he's got mine?

Damnation I was determined to get first. Bloody work getting i the way.

I hope this is the first of 10 epic games, with the entire last two games being roles of overly introspective soldiers, who's ability is philosophizing people to death. in italics

You could be on to something there. The way I have set this up, it could be a lot more games.

Oh the beauty of simplicity

I liked your write up Tats. That bit straight out the books gives it all some nice familiar context.

Ok so we have the bridgeburners facing off against the Claw and or Shadow? if so then we must have:

a Kalam vig

A Quick Ben or Tattersail Finder

A Mallet Healer

A gaurd, Probably Trotts?

If I assume Paran has a role I guess he'd fit in as a Guard/finder aswell.

Hairlock as a (flipable?) finder sounds like tons of fun! Hmmmn lots of potential twists in this game.

On the opposing side two Killers and two scum paired. that leaves 7 unroled players? thats a steep ask. Not sure if I can ask for the Ration of scum to Town? is that what TMDi 4 means?

Since i'm not roled my best play would be to sit back for once and let the game unfold. Messremb policy applies here, silence trumps plausibile noise. Need to practice following the thread so looking out for in game Meta is a bonus!

I love your thoughts here. I am not going to give anything away but keep them coming. Most scenes I want to write in myself, from memory but every now and then I will throw in a scene straight from the books.

TMDI index for you.

TMDI:1 = X+Y players, X roleless innocents, Y killers
TMDI:2 = As 1, but a small number of simple roles. Eg: 12 players, 2 Killers, Symp, Healer, BP/Vig.
TMDI:3 = Large number of simple roles.
TMDI:4 = Small number of rare/complex/unique roles or mechanics.
TMDI:5 = Multiple threats to town. Eg: Cult/Serial Killer/Second scum faction.
TMDI:6 = Large number of rare/complex/unique roles or mechanics.
TMDI:7 = No discernible town and scum... ie: factions/cults only.
TMDI:8 = As 7, but with Large number of simple roles and/or uneven teams.
TMDI:9 = As 7, but with Large number of rare/complex or unique roles and/or uneven teams.
TMDI:10 = ROYAL MINDFUCK. As 7, 8 & 9 plus screwy unheard-of mechanics... ie:LOST mafia.

Please tell me that almost everyone is roled. Otherwise while I appreciate being Shadowthrone. I am going to be a low poster due to my current work load.

You do have a partner to speak to about it, and you can let him make your guard decisions if you say so. yet once Sorry is dead, then you become the big bad that town wants dead.

You know if I low post and am scum that will make everybody mad at me all over again right? I bet you did this on purpose

I didn't, you will see how you became Sorry when you get to spoiler heaven, you were originally someone else. I promise I did not do it on purpose.

OMGGGGG YOU MADE ME MASTER OF THE DECK INSTEAD OF LORN

I guess I can live with that.

Plus I have the hots for some sweet mage ass. Mmmm.

I did take it into consideration but the randomizer wanted you to be Ganoes.

Okaros, on 12 March 2014 - 01:24 PM, said:

So this game is described as scum vs. town - I'm assuming that based on my role PM that my VCs are with town and my only ability is to know who Tattersail is?

I want to touch some Hound blood and check out Dragnipur. And then be Master of the Deck. Cause that would mean Tattersail and I could do crazy cool shit together. It's weird saying Tattersail cause you're Tattersail. BUT NOT TODAY, P-S. NOT. TODAY.

I am fully expecting a massive power boost as the game goes on - at least a BP or something, cause come on, Sorry is probably trying to hunt my ass down! When Oponn saves me from death, I want new powerzz.

Sorry/Cotillion has to be one of the killers in this scenario, obviously. If the breakdown is as simple as town vs. scum... Kellanved must be scum too, since they are essentially the bad dudes in this book. And do they have a symp? Hmm.

Ha ha, made me laugh. You are town.

Okaros, on 12 March 2014 - 01:39 PM, said:

Although....from the OP:

Tattersail - "I sensed nothing of his presumed master, Shadowthrone himself. Makes me suspect the Rope is on his own here."

So maybe Shadowthrone ISN'T around. Who does that leave for scum? Hmm. All the players have too many interests. Laseen could be an "enemy" of Whiskeyjack and town at this point but she would also be Cotillion's enemy...so that wouldn't make sense.

MAYBE SORRY AND COTILLION ARE SEPARATE CHARACTERS IN SEPARATE ALTS?! PAIRED KILLERS?!

You blow my mind. Not that this is a clue, I am not giving anything away but I like your thoughts!

[Path-Shaper]

Korabas, on 12 March 2014 - 01:44 PM, said:

Ugh, I suck at alting.

Is there actually any sort of reward for guessing right besides knowing if you've alted someone correctly?

No actual reward. I just wanted the RI's to have an ability of sorts without affecting the game.

Who says I will ever go to SH?

/false bravado

Well after you win the game because you are awesome, you can read SH then

[Path-Shaper]

Okaros, on 12 March 2014 - 01:56 PM, said:

Psh, clues are fine. No one needs to know...

Eloth mentioned the Malazan lore as basis for the game so I did too. I forget how interesting it can be to play RI.... And since I know Tattersail, who I am assuming must be roled since she's reading the Deck for Tays, my job is basically to protect Eloth without appearing like I'm symping her. EXTRA RI RESPONSIBILITY. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN HANDLE IT...WITHOUT...MORE POWERZ. >_>

Imagine you got turned into a Predator!! Take that thought, and keep it burning, because that is how I would handle Venge ha ha, if there was a predator role, he would want it.

Okaros, on 12 March 2014 - 02:06 PM, said:

"Tattersail rolls over and almost crushes Ganoes with her sheer weight. She forgets her lover is sleeping next to her but the cold dread that settles over her as she makes contact with his skin is enough to stop her. Is it a sign, is Hood watching over young Ganoes or is she just being a silly little witch?"

Come on, Oponn has to be watching me or something... I am predicting my role will change if I live long enough. (At least...it should. )

Also for scum - RAKE?! Not that he or Cotillion have any particular love for each other but they both are certainly enemies of the Bridgeburners at the moment, who seem to be making up the majority of town, along with some Daru roles I'm sure... Some bitch like Vorcan better not be the other killer.

Literally anybody could be scum in the malazan universe, it just takes perspective to think otherwise.

Also, I think you comment like this so that you don't spam the thread I do the same thing sometimes

Shhh....lol. I mean, come on, duder can't get lynched right away, amirite? After last game's highest-poster fest, it's probably time for me to back off and chill a bit anyway. Plus I have a DIRE NEED to talk about the Mafiaz and if I can't do that on thread, you will be punished with my thoughts here.

I don't see them as a punishment. The more the merrier. I should just let you bash away at this PM, but every now and then comment in here.


If you like and want to write and awesome scene (paragraph) I will include it in my next time update.

No signalling or anything, just creative awesomeness

Well hello Mr. Godly one. DO expect me to go apeshit on some people killing them with a single rope etc...

One thing that wasn't addressed in My PM, was it addressed in yours, Does Sorry know who we are?

The Dude gets straight to the point. He is not addressing me here, I don't know what to say when he does.

Basically we know that she doesn't know who they are but she does know that there are two of her fellow friends. I am surprised she hasn't asked at all, if she chooses her fellow scum then they will die.

That wasn't addressed at all in mine. So I am going to assume that she doens't.


FYI this is Venge

I believe that we are guard symps. The killer doesn't know who we are and we are trying to make sure that

a. she doesn't kill us
b. that we prevent the othersides killer from targeting her.


If she dies then I get to start killing. Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

What insanity? Who said that? Here doggy doggy doggy. Good girl. Oh who wants a tummy rub.

No kisses on my face!!! I said NO kisses...
