It's amazing how long Scoop20906 has held on, now that I think of it. I would have thought for sure that someone would have murdered him and assumed the mantle of Scoop20907 by now.

[Zarathud]

That's the Scoop we know and love.

But can't trust.

[Lassr]

I'll be gone the next two days moving my son to college.

Game should start Friday if all goes smoothly.

His blood and tears nourished for a time.

about to leave.

Some roles have been sent out but not all. So careful what you say if you say anything!

Can the Intimidator blocks scans of himself once?
Can the Manipulator force the same victim twice?
Does the Agent's protection reach up to the next day's lynch including or excluding the lynch itself?



Evil can emulate: Town folk, Reporter, Doctor, Protector (possibly thwarted by Soldier), Monitor (if Devioid), PI.
Can prove self: Soldier

I think you meant to say  Moliere 
 


I can see how you could be confused.

I only recently even looked at the rules, and the Manipulator role seems odd.

If the Manipulator forces me to say "I believe X is Y," does anything stop me from saying "No, I really don't believe X is Y" right after?

I kind of had the same question. Even if you can't say X is Y right after in so many words, you can put enough contradictions that it is going to make things very awkward. Also, can it be used to force someone to make a vote on someone they wouldn't normally vote for?

[Unagi]

Sounds like I should read the rules.

'compelled to' rules are problematic.

Yeah-- it seems like this would only work if the victim is also silenced for that turn. Even then, exactly two posts from a usually-loquacious participant might make the spell obvious to onlookers.

[Moliere]

Yes, or Scoop can be tricky and not talk this game.

You can make them say anything, even vote. And yes they can contradict it or withdraw the vote immediately afterwards.

Yes
Yes
Up to, it does not protect against the lynch.

Couple of more roles to be picked up and we'll be ready.

[Grundbegriff]

You can make them say anything, even vote. And yes they can contradict it or withdraw the vote immediately afterwards.

The only way to implement this is for the Evil to tell the moderator, and for the moderator to tell the victim, since the victim has to post it. And that means that there's never a way to post on behalf of the victim while the victim is away, exploiting absence to leave a false impression steeping (or a bogus vote active until deadline).

That's a stupid power. Let's hope it's in play!

Yeah, can't see that being of any use other than for humor purposes... I'm in!

I think it's a great idea.

I was told to say that.

Unless someone is at N-1. Once you cross the number, you are dead. So not really that unless or dumb, huh?

And then the person can say.. The wolves made me do it!!!!

So do we really think it is that stupid now?

that is true. They can avoid the power by not reading any PM I send and not posting in the game. Not posting in the game can lead to their death by silence though. It would really be NOT cool also. It is a rather weak power except in one circumstance.

[Lassr]

one more role to pick up.

Yeah, the only real power this has is if we get to N-1 and it can push someone over the edge. Or when it gets to end game it can be used to wolf pile. So not as useless as at first figured. In the right circumstance it could be stupid powerful. To guard against it we will need to implement the Newcastle rule (I think that is an appropriate name for it) and not vote anyone up to N-1 until we are sure we want to lynch that player.

[Holman]

Agreed. N-2 is the new N-1.

[Unagi]

I assume the Agent's protection then covers for the Soldier's Shot? Is that correct?

Also, does the Soldier's Shot 'end the day'/'skip the lynch' ?

protects against any kind of kill during the day except the lynch.

Day does not end if soldier kills.
