Isle of Chaos

[Xihirli]

Hey all, how's it going.
Sorry for taking a bit to post, I was hacking into Snowblaze's discord.

Anyway, JeenLeen and Cazero are the wolves.

EDIT: for BOLDNESS

[Snowblaze]

You all pause in the business of preparing for the festival or trying to decide who should be sacrificed to the spirits, because one of them has come to visit. It's a vaguely humanoid form, cloaked in a white mist that prevents you from identifying any of its features.

As you watch in awed and terrified silence, two items appear in what might be its hands: a spool of thread and a pointy stick. Solemnly, the Spirit of Chaos pokes the thread with the pointy stick.

Then, as swiftly as it came, it disappears and you return to your business, wondering what mysterious meaning such an omen could have.

[Caedorus]

Though, honestly, saying powers was a slip-up. Meant to say "power", as I didn't want Patient Zero to know that I could do both. Y'know?

But since you didn't respond to Persolus, I assume he wasn't hinting that you're the Police Officer.



As a man of science, I don't believe in warding sigils. I use warding syringes!

I am the Doctor. If any of you are Infected, please feel free to reach out to me to get cured. To my knowledge, I really cure you via medicine, not "cure" you by shooting you in the head. Snowblaze said it wouldn't break the game if I openly asked who is infected.
I am not a baner.
I am neutral, but not a hostile neutral. My goal is to cure some sort of infection in the town.
I expect to be NKed by zombies, though I don't really know what "Infected" are infected with. On the other hand, the Infected might be a threat to the Town (even if not the same threat the wolves are), so if anyone has a power to tell who targets me tonight, you might be able to wipe them out even if I'm dead.

If the wolves are "infected", you just set yourself up to die.

"Allright, I'll stir things up."
The wolves need to watch out, Thun said. So I'm voting Thun as the Summer King. Or Queen, as it may be.

[Cazero]

What thing would people believe you're doing?

Perfectly ordinary things related to votes. Nothing suspicious whatsoever. You can move along.
Also, AvatarVecna.

[AvatarVecna]

Debating if I should bother with a votecount. Speaking of which, Persolus.

[Luizeu]

Worry not, my children

As the religious representative of this Isle it is my burden to carry - it is my divine purpose that only a select few can understand.
This murder is only a sign, a sign that society has been corrupted, but I offer a path to salvation.
Join me and together we will change the world for better.
You can see me as a teacher or guide. I offer you a path to enlightenment or a deeper understanding of the meaning of life.

Karmic justice is the only path: I can sense Bladescape, Persolus, JeenLeen and Athedia are still very much impacted from their previous lives.
Something about a Wizard and a Tower, a brave contest and a daring rescue.
It would be best to give them some kind of rest

JeenLeen you sound like someone who knows things, a counterpoint to my faith based on science. Maybe you should rule.

[Thun]

I like that you're kicking things off quickly. Care to explain?

Alright, that sounds incredibly not suspicious at all. I'll give you a pass.

I'd love to, summer monarch (Thun). You see, I hacked into Snowblaze's discord and looked at who the wolves are. They're JeenLeen and Cazero.

[Luizeu]

Second person to vote Thun for Ruler
I would strongly advise against that
It seems like ulterior motives
I would gather votes on anyone but Thun at this point

[Cazero]

That's the cover story for the Mafia Police, yes. But you were supposed to wait D3 before spilling.
Also, AvatarVecna.

[Xihirli]

Shh, Cazero. They’ll get you two first and never guess that I’m the third wolf. They’ll run around like "we have to find the serial killer! Can’t be good ol’ trusty Xihirli!"

[AvatarVecna]

I Xihirli feel that Cazero the EoD votecount Luizeu will be rather interesting. AvatarVecna

[Thun]

If there are ulterior motives, I don't know about them. I doubt anyone has to have specifically me as king.

[JeenLeen]

Info to share:
I would not know if I got infected.
If I try to cure someone on the night they get infected, I may or may not cure them due to action resolution order. (Or I either would or would not cure them, but I don't get to know which.)
Assuming Snowblaze is not lying due to power interaction and I am interpreting her correctly.

I extrapolate nobody knows if they are infected or not, so not a cult.
Also extrapolate that there's a hidden mechanic or RNG about which power resolves first.

---

So a Spirit appears and posts in this thread, in the fluff poking a thread with a pointy stick. Heh.
Also noticed the police officer might be alluding to Axe Cop (comic strip?--heard of it but not seen it personally, I think), as he chopped down the door with an axe.

Did Xi claim wolf?
Hmm... when she claims wolf, she usually is a wolf. But she's been out a few games, so I'll vote Cazero.

[Aleph Null]

Okay, doesn't anyone else think that the fact that AvatarVecna has put down so many votes and not crossed out a single one is a tad suspicious?

The silvery-haired young man pipes up.
The ability to mess around with the voting process just feels like something that someone whose interests don't line up with ours would have...after all, why would someone need to create a diversion if they had nothing to hide? If nothing else, I feel like putting on some pressure might get me an explanation...

This is interesting. The ability to change votes would be more pro town or pro wolf?

[AvatarVecna]

I am a truth teller and have not lied. I have no idea if I get extra votes. I sure would like to though.

I have no idea how useful my role is, and I'm not too worried about dying. Not like death is the end anyway, after all.

[JeenLeen]

... watch as there aren't actually any wolves and it's just a whole mess of competing neutrals.

Hmm... I have a different yet similar speculation. But it's not based on much.

If the wolves are "infected", you just set yourself up to die.

I'm aware.
But if any tracker/watcher-types want to keep an eye on me, well, that might take out a wolf or the Infected if they do go after me.

I haven't been Day-killed yet, so I'm guessing it's not that Patient Zero has a 1/game kill to try to eliminate me.

However, based on the little I know, I think infection is something external to the wolf vs. town conflict, driven by a competing neutral. Who now knows who I am and might kill me soon.

[AvatarVecna]

Did persolus just admit to being a dirty no-good neutral with a heart full of neutrality?

Actually you know what I'm a law-abiding citizen. Point me to the rules on crossing out votes and I'll follow them to the letter.

The game is played in turns that consist of two different phases.
There's a day phase that happens from dawn ‘til dusk in game. This period typically lasts 48 hours. During this time all the players try to decide who the bad guys are by voting for them. Votes are done in red text. You may change your vote if you wish, in which case, you should edit your previous post and strike-through your previous vote. Once the day has ended, whoever has the most votes is removed from the game (Lynched). In the event of a tie, common practice is to lynch whichever player reached that number of votes first.

The 25% Rule: Part of the original rules, but not all narrators use it now. By this rule, a lynch only occurs if at least 25% of the players vote for the same person. If no 25% majority is reached, the mob cannot gather sufficient numbers to lynch anyone.
Additionally, if a 50% majority is reached, day may optionally end early at that point, if the narrators want it to.

The silver-haired man takes out a paper that contains an excerpt from the writings of none other than the one he is speaking to, and displays it clearly for all to see.
In fact, it was your own words that implied this. Of course, I'm presuming that these laws of the land are still intended to apply. Oh, and here's another rule given that explains why I feel like flooding the vote pool with lots of votes for different people is suspicious.

The broad rule suggestions for the community is different from the rules for specific games.

Because we both know why you had to desperately resort to quoting a completely different thread.

I had assumed that these were rules for all the games unless overridden by a specific game -- there was an override that stated bolding is not required, but nothing about strike-outs on votes.

*shrugs*

Most games specifically list the rules for how the narrator wants people to deal with striking out votes vs not doing it. In any case, since it's not specified in the rules for this game, I'm not gonna bother and see what happens.

I like your attitude.
Also pocketing is done.

[Persolus]

Did persolus just admit to being a dirty no-good neutral with a heart full of neutrality?

It's called "being extremely paranoid which is justified in the setting of a bastard game."

projecting much?

[Snowblaze]

Official stance on crossing out old votes: it would be pretty helpful but there's no rule requiring it. A player's most recent un-crossed-out vote will be counted regardless.

Though there may be consequences for not crossing out old votes...

"I have a theory that everyone in this game is actually a neutral"
"If you're not neutral you wouldn't believe that. Did you just admit to being neutral"
"uh...uh...uh...no u"

flawless defense

I mean I guess in fairness the other option is that you were lying about thinking that was a possibility, and were only pretending to consider it.

Yep, Pers confirmed neutral imo.
Also I will confirm that there are, in fact, very likely wolves, or my power wouldn't make sense.

The old man blinked upon his pile of cloth, peering around with a squinted gaze at the many people talking and walking around him. His left hand fumbled futilely for some glasses that weren't there anymore. Giving up upon the task of finding his spectacles, he sighed and stood up, hand braced on his knee to help him straighten out.

"Well, laddies and lasses, seems yer all abother here. Must be the heat atalkin' to you. But I think somet'ing already shows clear. The many talk over the loitering few."

And with cryptic words aspoken, he pranced sideways, vanishing amidst the clamour only to leave the rags behind.
