Re: UPick
Hello, I'm definitely not the person who should be posting first, but Someone needs to start.
Hmm... Well, Let's Start by talking about our characters.
So, what did everyone pick?
I'm Ben Tennyson.

And... Apparently. Someone posted, while I was making my post.
I'm 10, of course I'm going to steal a cookie, at least I save the day!

Re: UPick
Anyone want to discuss the pros and cons of totadileplayz's idea of saying our roles?
I'm not sure what benefit there would be. It potentially gives info to the wolves (even if things to just guess about), and a wolf could lie. I strongly recommend anyone with a role that strongly implies your power not to speak up. For example, someone with Professor X claiming is probably asking for the wolves to kill you as the seer.
I lean towards us not claiming, but I'd be willing to hear arguments towards claiming.
And I'll pokeAvatarVecna.Last edited by JeenLeen; 2021-03-16 at 09:40 PM.

Re: UPick
As far as claiming role names goes, I'm not sure it will generally give a ton of information to go on, and even if it did that'd likely help wolves more than us. We were instructed to give character ideas, not mechanics ideas, and I'm sure everybody here was tempted to pick a character who's mechanics would be...obvious, somebody who if they got some other power wouldn't be well-represented. I feel that this would be breaking the spirit of the request though, and we were asked for a second character concept to counter that exact reaction: that if one pick was very obviously leading Unavenger towards a particular mechanic you wanted to have, they'd give you the other role that probably is a bit more broad in what kind of powers it can justify. I guess if you're a real knob you could've suggested two roles that are both super-type-cast into a very particular mechanical power, but I don't feel like getting on the narrator's bad side is a good idea - seems like a good way to get saddled with downsides. All of this is to say that, I'm of the opinion that even if people are being generally honest, it's more likely that their role name won't give town a really good idea of what their power does right off the bat.
However, I think it gives wolves a bit more: they already know that town is against them, so they don't need to suss out who's a hidden enemy, they just need to suss out who's got dangerous powers. Given the game size, I'm betting there's two wolves, and that means the wolf team has a slightly better idea in general of the power level Unavenger is assigning to people's powers (since everybody else in the game only has their own power as evidence, while the wolves can see how powerful the two of them are...and frankly, how powerful their whole faction is). To use the current example: Ben Tennyson is some kind of shapeshifter, but in typical depictions the watch sometimes gives him a transformation he didn't ask for, or it timed out too early for him to get good use out of it. Somebody with access to a wide variety of powers, but who maybe doesn't have control over which powers they use? My guess at Ben Tennyson's power would be a JOAT role, where they have an array of powers but can only use each one a single time over the course of the game. Or maybe they can only use it once per three nights? That's how the JOAT worked in the specific game the last time I played with them. But my point is that this is only a guess as to the overall power, and I can't even really begin to guess at what the actual JOAT abilities are since too many good ones would be quite powerful and too much more powerful than me? But wolves have a better measuring stick for how powerful a townie should be, so they might be able to better gauge with BT is capable of.
And all of this is assuming the person giving their role name is being honest, which we have basically no guarantee of. A seer ability that confirms alignment is a pretty standard power. A seer ability that confirms a role name and an alignment is a bit uncommon. A seer ability that confirms role name, alignment, and mechanical abilities feels like way too much for a game like this, where the weirdness of all the roles and the resulting uncertainty in people's capabilities is a big part of the appeal. I think it's unlikely that Unavenger would've given a power that broad unless it comes with significant drawbacks. So at best, I'd expect role name+alignment, and that just means the seer can confirm the person wasn't literally lying about their own name, and that's it.

Re: UPick
So just a temperature check with the town: given the size of the game, and given the game's peculiar set-up, are y'all feeling what I'm feeling, in that we almost certainly don't have any masons?
I have some theories, but I'll keep them to myself for now.

Re: UPick
Oddly, the fact that Xihirli didn't claim to be a mass murderer makes me think she's town.
I have similar vibes; I don't like a too-strong bandwagon early D1, as it gives a wagon for wolves to safely hide in.
I want to see how some of the other players respond/vote before I say more. It's still early D1.

Re: UPick
No, you're right. I shouldn't decide my votes by how easily I can make a rhyme about them. Unstriking vote. Let's kill Vecna instead.
But I do promise to put up a sonnet-style iambic pentameter post later today.
Anyway, apparently "mass murderer" and "person who kills a lot of people" are too similar so I had to scrap one. But being a poet is a close second.
After all: Art is making people feel. And hey, maybe that feeling you wanted them to feel is death.Spoiler: Check Out my Writing!

Re: UPick
I swear I didn't even think about it, I just went by inspiration.
As I agree with the position that revealing our roles is of no help to town (at least for now), I'll refrain myself from roleplaying, even if the temptation is so damn strong.

Even though, now that I think about it, I don't see how anyone could possibly guess my role's power.Last edited by Captain Cap; 2021-03-15 at 02:43 PM.

Re: UPick
Hey folks.
AV talk a little bit about the bandwagon too big feeling you were getting? Because from where I'm sitting it looks like you were specifically skeeved at Xihirli hopping on and was wondering if that's something specific regarding them, something else you were picking up from the thread or ?!?

I'm loosely :shrug: on character claiming.
I do think that's something that should be done say late d2-d3 as more mech info comes out
Having a hard time thinking about why I'd need to know before then
Hard to say how scum would benefit
Actually maybe I'd encourage keeping character stuff on the down low for a bit idk.Last edited by Apogee1; 2021-03-16 at 08:37 PM. Reason: vote strikethrough

Re: UPick
They're vaguely alluding to their role and nudging us in the direction of revealing our roles when that hurts town?

Re: UPick
Nope :p
Reasonable enough thought about what my reason may have been but I don't really care about it atp
AV apparently has thoughts on roles though and I'd normally discourage explicit role hunting in thread but uh its AV and again, role hunting is one of those "wolfy" things that like, end up being villagers plenty of the time. Especially when its villagers of a certain archetype that I'd figure AV falls into.
So sitting back and popcorning that angle for a bit

I'll leave the guessing open for another poster or two so we get some of that sweet #content
But then it turns to a distraction so I'll out it in not too long
