[parkerparkour]

How many dates have you taken parker on?

I've taken myself on at least two dates

[ItsmeCreature]

Anyone else having this feeling LoF's play is different?

I haven't played with him before. What differences are you noticing?

He tends to be more active D1.

That's my feeling, I don't have a proper explanation, but is still a read.

I have two Dead Chat quicktopics to fill with my salt. I've been very active, I can assure you.

[ItsmeCreature]

If you say so...

Detonator is just Electrician, nothing new.

What role would Trauma Patient want to remember? I'm leaning towards Town Protective, especially Bodyguard.
(no this isn't a softclaim or a hardclaim pls)

oh, and this is one of the calmest day ones I have ever seen. Congradulations.

[yauaustin202]

Well, done with my daily reads...

Been reading some other games to get a grasp and i realise im doing quite some stupid things. Feel like somebody is gonna think i'm scum, investigate me, i get framed and get lynched.

Ah, whatever... As long as i dont die N1 im happy as i could be.

[Sturps]

*tumbleweed intensifies*
seriously how has there only been 4 pages with a 20 player list

[Hiphoplog]

This D1 managed to be more quiet and chill than the CL's D1. Go figure.

AND it was April 1st. What happened?

Detonator also does alert targets which Electrician doesn't. We also used Detonator but I don't think Electrician has been in an FM game.

The activity was on point today, I have to say.

Goodnight.

[Exacerbated]

I don't think austin's sheeping comment is that scummy. He is at least being honest about his intentions. I would be more inclined raise my eyebrow if he denied that he was sheeping and actually was.

Ladd and vorono lean town to me for the poking/prodding/general scumhunting.

Creature's uncharitable interpretation of the exchange between austin/vorono bothers me. Could be a potential effort to invent scum motivation.

Sturps complains about the lack of activity, but doesn't do anything about it. Will be watching that slot.

[yauaustin202]

Btw, can i ask, what is the "average" amount of pages is there on D1, to me, if D1 has more than around 6 pages im really not looking foward to reading D2.

Considering that there's no lynch today and nothing crazy seems to be happening, this D1 is probably not going to be much longer. D2 usually ends up being at least 40-50 pages, possibly more.

depends on the amount of players/the players themselves.
this is an exception, idk why

Ladd, I can understand where you come from with the read on Dota, but doesn't mean I agree with it -- your read is valid if you take context out of equation, but I'm sure Episode 9 had more stuff going on than we have (Read: Pretty much anything), so it's not at all unexpected that his introduction here is relaxed. But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, I barely remember what went on that game while you were a player yourself.

And yes, I agree it's a little bit surprising nothing came up yet. I'm sure it'll go back to normal by D2, though.


As for the rolelist, I'm not Rick myself, thus not very fond of setup analysis. But I don't see harm in it, so might as well.

1) Detonator can be troublesome, despite more inconsistent KPN, given it's interaction potential. Fusing protectives, killling roles, or investigatives, then figuring out who they're targeting next to set the devices off. The good news is that non-visiting roles being fused first means there's less chance of the trigger going off early. The bad news is that the Detonator doesn't have to do guesswork all the time, seeing as only one right visit is needed for them to kill. Detonator rolling also means that there's some shenanigans with people being confirmed when they were already fused previously, being able to self-target, capable of killing by themselves, etc.

2) Uhm, sure? There's an extra TI slot which is confirmed to be Sheriff/Invest (meaning we'll probably have people CCing these roles down the line), there's an extra TP slot as well (kind of unusual), a TS slot without Transporter, a TK slot without Veteran. Town Power and Underboss both being in play means we'll have to consider the risks of claiming while jailed. There's a NB slot which may roll Guardian, and seeing how nobody claimed that yet, I'm going to guess it didn't (roll). Nothing to comment about the rest of the Neutrals.

Now that I've typed that out I realized the roles which are "excluded" from certain slots: Lookout, Spy, Transporter, Veteran. I'm guessing Met's aiming for a rolelist with less easily-confirmable roles.

The post I quoted from Dota came from page 2 and it was their first post, before the whole D1 mess with Cow happened. I do agree that the environment was a bit more tense due to it being an Episode, but I feel like they are fairly comparable.

I have trouble reading Dota ( as in I read them almost always as scum ), so I am trying to notice the little things with him.

I feel like Warlock can be deadly in certain players hands. Kleptomaniac does not worry me too much.

Regarding Detonator, I really don't think he represents a much bigger or much different threat than an arsonist, the visit part could turn out to be annoying, but Sk is still the worst NK for us to roll.

Guardian is a strange ( and really hard, if I am understanding the win condition right ) role, I don't now what to make of it yet. You bring an interesting point about it revealing D1, but a lot of people have not posted and I feel like not anyone would reveal D1 if they rolled it; so I would rather not jump to conclusions and rule it out yet.

[yauaustin202]

Wait a second.... SHOULDN'T DAY 1 HAVE ENDED ALREADY!?

[Arcthurus]

Wait a second.... SHOULDN'T DAY 1 HAVE ENDED ALREADY!?

Yeah, this usually happens if the mod in charge isn't around.
Guess I'm going to lock it then.

[Metrion]

Night 1 begins!

The Vikings departed for their huts and homes. After a very productive first day, it was time for some rest.

Night 1 will end on April 4th 12:00 pm [UTC -3]

[Metrion]

Elastoid is Night Whispering TheCow!

Elastoid has -1 out of 0 whispers remaining.

[Metrion]

Pretty busy right now with stuff. Bear with me as day will start tomorrow.

[Metrion]

Swordsworth died, we are sad. He was killed by a member of the Mafia. He was a Vi(kin)gilante.

Anything you ever did was strictly by design
But you got it wrong

After a short Viking funeral, the band of Vikings returned to their thinking poses. They were determined to get to the bottom of this. Life is pretty boring so it's not like they had that much to do.

Day 2 begins! Day 2 will end on April 11th 3:30 pm [UTC -3] or when a majority is met.
