Godots with that pregame Bulldance.
Roles will be assigned right before the game starts, which is scheduled for today. We need to get this shit going before it’s too late and we’re playing on christmas. I have no idea what to expect in terms of speed of this game, it’s gonna start slow then potentially snowball. Is there a good reason NOT to start today?
I realized I never responded to this, no the Vampire/Werewolves don’t learn that players role when they recruit them. It’s up to the player to tell their role. One major reason for this is Van Helsing, if we told the recruit roles then this would mess up his mindgames.
How convenient. 
LYNCH MISSING PERSON
You mean, you read the rules AFTER you go in on me?
God damnit.
Convenient for you too.
LYNCH ELPHACOMMENDO, MOITE!
You’ve fallen into my trap!
LYNCH RADICALFLUFF
But, but… I’m only 72% done with my complicated menagerie of a vampire gameplan! And I haven’t even started a werewolf one.

I’m calling the “IRL tournament” assist on this one. A&M LAN convention/fiten gayum turnament. UT were all yellow and didn’t show up except for one guy whose entire plan with Zangief was to hold up forward and either hit fierce punch or buffer SPDs.
Glad to see Vynce’s ban was lifted, so now HE MAY DIE BY MY HAND.
:tup:
Ffffffff…fiddlesticks.
Can’t you just give SAD the roster spot and let me keep the reserve? Or… what if I say BJ told me he was gonna sign up? He’s an honest guy. I believed him when he told me he would. You should sign him up based on my acknowledgement alone. =]
I want dat reserve. RF’s signature demands it.
Reserve just doesn’t make sense, but I will make sure BJ gets a spot :tup: don’t quite get the fascination with reserve spot, but meh
also lol the new emotes are already gone
I was just reading about vanilla forums, and they have some really cool new API features that means I could (theoretically) program a bot that reads votes, and is able to post an updated vote count along with a deadline for the voting. Only problem is 1) it needs to be enabled by the owners of the forum and then a secret API code given to me so that I can access it and B) they currently let you list all discussions, and make comments, but not READ comments… which is silly. So I couldnt use the API to read all comments on the game post and then respond as needed. Too bad. Once it gets improved a bit more, we can do some fun stuff with that (and even make some new types of games, even). Here’s to the future.
Spambots don’t need to read. They just need to advertise BRAND NEW PRODUCT ENLARGEN PENIS 100X!!!111
That’s what I find weird, that the APIs are set up better for spambots than for legit apps. List Discussions, List Categories, Add Comments/Edit Comments, it can like/dislike/etc posts, edit posts, get signatures, give warnings, but… list comments in a thread? No, let’s not give it the one thing a forum bot would actually need. (I mean it can be done just via html parsing like I already do, but if you’re gonna make an API, make this a feature)
Hey Pimp W1lly (not sure if w*lly is a bad word on SRK), but hold off on bringing in BJ. I’d prefer he make his own grand entrance…
There were new emotes? Another phase of “let’s visibly change things for a day and then slip back into the shadows” I guess
The game is starting tonight and/or soon right?
Well he has a few more hours then, before I sent out roles
OK, time for a couple more dumb questions.
The major and minor actions of the monsters are stated to belong to their factions, not to individuals, right? And for the faction to activate the action, they must have that role alive and well? And since it’s a group action, that means that mayor actions, jailing, and dominate do not affect them?
Also, can we go through Clear Mind? Van Helsing gets bitten, and everything appears as if he’s converted (card says Initiate, but that’s probably a typo), but he secretly knows he’s still town? So he could actually be a Magneto-like guy? (Like the clone Magneto from the comics?)
I’m confused on this. So let me try and clarify. I still need a final pass on all the text before we go live.
Having a role unlocks the ability to be used for that faction. The person with that role must be alive and well. However, because we are restricted on what Major actions can be taken in a night, all actions are submitted by the faction leader (Dracula/Lucian), not the player with the role. However, the other actions can affect them.
Mayor action example:
Mayor locks players X and Y into the town hall with a Vampire Z that has Bite. Players A and and B are outside of town hall with a vampire C that has Assassinate. For the major action, Dracula can use Bite on player A or B, or can use Assassinate on player X and Y. But he cannot use Bite on player A, nor Assassinate on player X, because of the Town Hall Restriction.
Now, imagine the Jailer put Vampire C into Jail. This limits it so that Assassinate can not be used, reducing the available actions to Bite on X and Y.
Now for Dominate. Imagine Player X is really Werewolf X with Dominate. Werewolf X uses Dominate on Vampire Z. Now, I haven’t given order of actions yet, but in this case let’s assume Dominate takes place before Bite. Because of this, the Bite ability would be stopped from happening, even if it is submitted. The bite could also not be used the following night. (However I believe Dominate will kick it at the end of the night, thus making the Bite still go through, but not be available the next night. But just covering all scenarios).
Yes, exactly, that is what happens if he is bitten, he pretends to be a vampire/werewolf recruit but really is still considered town and is trying to win for the town.
Good… that opens up the door for some shenanigans. Well, actually, I don’t know if it’s good. I’ll have to wait and see what card I draw.
And EDIT (while I still can): if two factions try to bite the same person in the same night, is it similar to assassinate, and both factions get “scared off?”
