Anyone else been paying attention to the FBI starting values?

I consider all possibilities. It's kind of my thing.
Even in the face of obvious evidence to disprove them?

No, this is just my natural need to point out all the possible alternatives to Shade's theory. You'll know something's up if I'm ever in complete agreement with him
I'm still curious why you'd consider it a possible alternative theory that there isn't already a Sith in the game though?

I bet it would be, because you are scum #2, amirite?
Well, you have to admit I would certainly be surprised in that case.
Although, it would be a weird game if the only way for a scum player to be in game was if they choose to become one.

What if there are no sith and we just have to find the people who couldn't resist tampering with the dark side?
That would be very surprising to say the least...

I was just thinking that in the description it said that "actions" could influence the FBI too, so that makes it sound more open ended. It's like Yoda said in the Clone Wars, the jedi were risking losing themselves and letting the dark side win just by fighting the war at all.
Someone else will have to answer how RPG like this game actually is, but for the most part the "actions" will be a night time force ability that probably shifts the FBI by about 5-20% for every dark side action the Sith undertake in one night. And we'll probably have a couple of limited counter abilities that allow us to shift it back the other way to an extent.

Soooo... I'm not sure I know how this force balance meter works, but a mass duel sure sounds like a good way to push it to the dark side!
I wouldn't' worry about the FB quite yet, everything that happens during the tutorial phase shouldn't really carry over to D1 of the actual game so we can focus on learning the new game mechanics for now.

Yeah but Indiana Solo doesn't get a lightsaber so it all works out.
Hugh, referencing a character who uses a whip as his main weapon might not have been the best idea now that I think about it...
Also, #Solo.

I'm not bothered either way. I do want to know how combat works so that I have a bit of info for the rest of the game.
How about this? Why doesn't everyone pick a partner and we have a mass sparring match?
Depending on how much GM input is needed for the duel phase, that might actually work out rather well.

Players can also directly challenge themselves instead of voting (only one player at a time for each player, so you can't challenge multiple players for example before your first challenged player replies, and visa versa, a player can't challenge someone else if he/she was already challenged.
The first player who accepts the Duel will initiate a Duel Phase and the Council Phase will be shortened (but not more than 24 hours).
In case there is no challenge accepted, the votes will determine who has the most "Champion votes" and "Sith votes". In case of a tie, Dice Roll will determine the outcome.
A standard Day/Council Phase will last max 48 hours. During this time, you can discuss your action results from previous phases and outcomes, and determine who should be your
From the looks of things, I'd say they don't have to wait for anything, that's a restriction on individual players Orange, not the entire group as a whole.

From the instant the game starts, even before really, we're all judging each other, is what I'm saying. Even by the quality of our memes and whatnot. I'd actually say D0 has been mildly productive so far in getting a feel for how everyone's going to handle this game. The rules may be slightly different, but the reactions and interactions are genuine enough (or deliberately faked, etc etc). You never know what might slip out during the joke phase.
From another perspective, it's also kind of bad form to skip right to the next phase before some people have even had a chance to check in that the game's started.
About the only person who hasn't actually checked in yet is @FRAYDO.
While we can gain some information from D0, I still don't think we need to drag out for longer than a 24 hour time period since we still don't have access to the rules for the night phase yet.

Verti, probably a good question since it's a test battle.
But are you actually revealing characters backgrounds for it, and using our real characters stats, or are we basically fighting each other with test characters?

I meant Jedi in the generic way. We're all Jedi, whether good or bad. There's the Light, the Gray, and the Dark. The Sith are mostly just Jedi who've gone to the Dark Side (excluding the actual Sith race). Unless we go back to the times of the Je'daii Order, everyone should be a Jedi. It wasn't meant to be a claim, just an exclamation towards childhood fantasies. But I can second that feeling, Cat5, so I'm not opposed to hitting you with my plasma swords. And it'll be a fair fight since my character isn't meant for combat either. Plus I'm interested to see what you came up with for your character's backstory considering that you know next to nothing about Star Wars. I'd vote myself to be Champion, but it's not like it really matters.
##vote Champion Category 5 Hurricane
##vote sith TheIrishman
Well, since Irish isn't objecting either.

##vote Champion Category5
Well, if you're going to volunteer yourself for the test battle.

I'll also go ahead and sign up.

It wasn't one small mistake, though. I somewhat deliberately trashed this game. My strategy was to grab the conversation before scum could, and then try to get something productive by weighing claims against player actions and playstyle. I ended up burning the entire town to the ground and handing scum a perfect game on a silver platter. Literally everyone else has the truth figured out, yet I was just so fucking full of myself that I couldn't let it go.
I'm starting to calm down a bit, and I might keep playing, but I still can't see how I'm not solely and directly responsible for town's loss.
I still owe you a major apology for that incident, by the way. Sorry, man.
Honestly, your tactic didn't backfire as badly as you think it did, you managed to basically get a nationality statement from everyone in game by the second night which really helped me figure out that Irish was the scum player I was targeting.

This is the type of thing I'd be the one to bring up, but sadly, I was not a player this time, heh.
Survive another night and get another two town kills including the lynch and a chance to use your night abilities again. If your dead either way, might as well try to do some damage.

Well, at this point I suppose I should go ahead and just post my suspected Scum list.

TheIrishman

3 minutes ago, TheIrishman said:Sorry about that. We wanted to avoid killing you initially, but you were getting too close to the truth.
It's fine, I did actually call both of you out day 2 along with revealing I was targeting you Irish. I would have been more surprised if I'd actually survived longer than that.

Get taken out N1 and scum coasts to victory unhindered.
Too bad I also predicted who was going to be NK'd N1. I protected Jeod. Had I not, on D2 my suspects were ChopBam and TheIrishman. How different this game would have been.
I tried, but no one took my claims seriously even after scum killed me off.

I'm going to avoid the nationality question for now, as the fact that nationality is given as part of your roles makes me suspect it's important for something. So instead, I'll reveal that I'm a diplomat.
I currently expect all players will fit into one of these roles: Diplomats, Military Leaders, and Naval Officers. I think we'll find one Mafia in each of those categories. Currently thinking 3 Mafia. GM basically described the motivations for three different people and would fit the motivations of the people I think would most likely be Mafia. A Diplomat who doesn't want to back down, a Military Leader that thinks they can win out right, and a Naval Officer who would rather just let the world burn.
That's just spitballing based on how I think I'd setup a game based on this theme, though. It just makes sense to me. We don't know how far ahistorical OrangeP47 has set this game, though my character seems pretty much historical.
I'm still more inclined to think that there are three scum in game. Since Cat 5 revealed this before they could have used any night actions it would have been based purely on GM notes, and they are confirmed town and I doubt they'd lie about this.

Shade being able to rearm a third party is definitely sending me red flags. Retaliation, I presume you'll be questioning him tonight? I've got your back.
Considering that I've basically done a full role reveal, it should be very easy to spot any lies I've been telling at the very least. If I am scum I've set myself up perfectly be discovered to say the very least.

Also, this may be important to WT. A detail in my role PM indicates that it's possible for a mafia death to raise tension. To me this says that it's entirely possible for high ranking Americans or Russians/Soviets to be scum. A specific example that came to mind when I made the connection was KY and his claim to be Khrushchev.
It was specific for my character like your own warning.

You said you can rearm someone. Is this a second, different ability?
I did, also, how many abilities can I use in a night?

Exactly, at the very least we already have one character in game with access to dark side abilities.
