KovacsC lines up his shot against his target, the crosshairs settle on their head. He fires...

... But Slightly Green jumps into frame and takes the bullet! He manages to return fire though, and the return shot hits KovacsC right in the kisser.

KovacsC was the one who knocks.
Slightly Green was Frank Farmer.
Both are now dead!

You notice that Curio isn't looking as well as he did yesterday.

With 13 players alive, 7 votes are required for a lynch

Day 2 ends Sunday at 6pm, or sooner if there is a majority vote.

Can a mod sort the dead thread access please.

Bodyguard traded for the SK. Not the worst thing ever.

So...what the hell is up with Curio. It's not the mad doctor, because Curio (presumably) wasn't ever a dead body, so it's presumably something we really don't know about. Oh.

oooohh, dead zone...

Its a trooper game , I'm surprised that both the killed characters did not have another page worth of powers :-)

That's amazing!

Well, we *ahem* dodged a bullet.

*CSI shades GIF*

I don't feel well. I think I might have eaten a bad prawn.

Well, Curio could have been killed and resurrected in one night.

Also, well done body guard - I mean you potentially just saved a Mafia person, but still, pretty good stuff!

Except it's not, of course.

[vote:gazchap]

Why do people keep saying it's a Trooper game? It's our game. He's running it but we created the characters and roles.

I bet those who put stupid stipulations into their character are feeling pretty dumb right now, aren't they?

Why?

o/

Praise the sun



That was my conclusion. The mafia would know who they killed and so visited him twice.

So jealous.

Are you going to provide any sort of justification for this?

One based on information I mean, not just "fucking GazChap up."

\00

So Mr Dave was visited by Solaire last night ?

I'm not allowed to.

Yeah, but not by the mafia

Why so sad, Dave?

By the way, it has occurred to me that people resurrected from the dead will have seen the dead thread, and will liikely have a less than friendly agenda on their return. Can I suggest that any investigators or the like who pass on with useful info still in their heads not share it with the dead thread, just in case you're handing info to the enemy?

Mafia are so cool. It'd be awesome to actually meet them.

I'm not sure what Solaire's aim is? It's a town allegiance role, but forces the 'invaded' player to say a phrase in one of their first three posts. Dave, can you say what it means by you being invaded? Is this an investigative 'invasion'? What happens if you don't repeat the phrase?

I assume solaire changes a character then?

... Making Dave WANT to be in the mafia? Or be killed by them?

I know nothing more than what it says in the role description. Perhaps something interesting would've happened if I hadn't followed the command.

And no, I wouldn't want to be killed, the mafia or anyone else, that'd suck. But a visit sure would be interesting.

So if Curio is a zombie, he's dead for realz tonight anyway?

If Curio was resurrected then he'd likewise have to have been targeted by the mafia AND the doctor simultaneously. I thought the doctor could only resurrect already dead players (ie, players that had been killed on previous days or nights and were in the dead thread. If the doctor has to guess who will be targeted that night then that was accurate guesswork by the doctor that Curio would be targeted...

Are we allowed any clarification on how long a player might be dead before resurrection, Trooper?

What kind of mood are you in, Curio?

no, wait, the doctor is mafia

So, the mafia can kill someone and the doctor resurrect them? Thats unlikely, unless the mafia can force the resurrected to do their bidding, otherwise what benefit can it be? That might explain the 'mood swings'. Also how they might target and guess the targeted person to resurrect so clearly.

So many roles, have to read everything through a hundred times to see how they might interlink.

I've not had any access to the dead thread or been told that I'm dead, though obviously it's a possibility

Because the same people would choose both, and night actions occur in the order they choose?

But you know you're ill? OK, So maybe one of the people killed last night will come back? Or maybe not, depending on how/if it might benefit the mafia.

I believed that happened in another village up the road, once.


Of course!

They'll be able to see the dead thread! And that would be a pretty big advantage, so why would the Mafia do it to anyone else?

[vote:curiosity]

They could see the dead thread? If only someone had already thought of that!

And sacrificing one of their own (resurrection only lasts one day, remember) to allow them to see the dead thread that won't have anything useful in it yet? Highly unlikely.

Oh man, I didn't see the "single day" bit. Bah.

[vote: GazChap]

Still right about that one, though.

Can the resurrected person still see the dead thread whilst on their resurrected day, I wonder? Yeah, if they were going to do that they might have waited until there was a lot of info available to read, otherwise would be a big sacrifice on their part.

Yes, sorry, that wasn't a question, more thinking aloud, trying to think around what might have happened.

If I have been killed and resurrected then I can't see the Dead Thread, so take whatever you will from that.

I have a horrible feeling that I've been poisoned and will die tonight

So becoming a zombie changes their allegiance too? What did you think Curio was then Grim...?

So there might be a delayed kill role? I wonder if there is a significance to the delay?

What do you mean? By the person that has been turned?

No, more that if you have a kill role why would you want it to only take effect after another day? Is there a benefit to the person killing, the person being killed or is it just a 'quirk'?

Or maybe it is not a kill role at all, and being poisoned doesn't mean eventual death, just that they are too ill to use their power or something?

All assuming Curio's guess that he has been poisoned is correct, which might not be the case.

Well I suppose that gives them a day to gather more info from the dead thread. All they have to do is target someone who isn't Mafia each day, they still get their kill but some extra information in to boot (hopefully).

I am trying to figure out who is controlling Mr Dave. Why is he asking to be visited by the Mafia? Can you tell us Dave (I assume not); or are you simply suicidal?

I've been through the player roles, but can't work it out at all.

Also; Curio, what, exactly, were you told?

This clearly ain't working. If you want to rally support against GazChap you must explain yourself.

Just that I've woken up feeling a little ill.

It is possible that I am some sort of bad thing, but I swear that my win condition has not changed. It is still Town.
