You can't really have a fantasy crossover without KH

 

[Hedin]

Ahem, theme is not crossover.

 

[heymonkey]

Can someone explain to me why Ambo's title is not a pun

 

[Neki]

who else misses old book art

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Can someone explain to me why Ambo's title is not a pun

Maybe I should change it…

After all, the pun is mightier than the sword

 

[Chuggernaut]

Can someone explain to me why Ambo's title is not a pun

there you go

 

[Hedin]

That's a pun?

 

[Chuggernaut]

yes and it’s awful

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

stabbing?

 

[Neki]

guys it has the word pun in it

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

10/10 pun

 

[Hedin]

Nin's avatar is real good.

 

[weemadarthur]

It’s not a pun just because the letters ‘pun’ appear in it.

 

[Chuggernaut]

Well I personally think we should stick a pun in this topic and move on

 

[weemadarthur]

How bastard is this game? Does anyone have alignment changes ahead?

Fate is a loose cannon, the best kind of cannon. Ready to abruptly fire at anyone and everyone.

 

[Hedin]

I thought we established that a hydrocannon was the best cannon.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

[Nomad Sparkster]

keep up the meta where you geno alive as long as possible to inflict maximum psychic damage

oh hell what Im talking about

Geno himself is the psychic damage

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

 

[Hedin]

Geno told me he was going to try something different. This is not the different I expected.

[weemadarthur]

Like i swear that’s an actual rule written down in the game-making docs. No jesters allowed. That and we had one once by special permission, which amusingly, lost.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH

Haha I also immediately thought of that document (A Guide for Reviewers).

No Jesters:
This PR runs against the spirit of the game. Never use it.

 

[Randomless]

Not to my knowledge.

A Guide for Reviewers

This guide, similar to the Guide for Gamerunners, will give a detailed idea of what to look for when reviewing a Mafia design. Hopefully it will encourage new players to review games in our community, and serve as a reference for everyone. 1. First off... Game reviewing is a malleable process...

I'd laugh about Hedin getting wrecked by the new guy but we all got wrecked by the new guy, so....

 

[weemadarthur]

I don’t know what geno is doing, but i’d vote him out d1 any game. What’s the use of this gambit? Even a bomb would not be worth the d1 scum death.

 

[heymonkey]

I have absolutely no idea what Geno saw here as endgame result from his general choices here but I am dying to see what happens next, so at least I am entertained.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

There's a guide for reviewers?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I actually asked because I thought LP didn't like jesters and Hedin gave me some insight, he said at first they weren't sure and they were going to make the role be able to put post restrictions on other players which would've been fun af but in the end they ended up with plain jester. Idk why he gave me that info but it's true.

I bring nothing to the table except my thoughts.

I'd say my opinion on jesters is...neutral at best.

 

[malus]

I don't believe that jester claim for a second. It reeks of a neutral that just needs to survive a couple of days to fulfill some win condition. Though maybe he's just a power role and tries to prevent being night killed by the Mafia? I definitely don't think Scum would be doing such a gambit.

 

[Neki]

I mean why claim if he is neutral and not jester? Very easy to coast the first couple of days as neutral, act slightly scummy to discourage scum from killing you and have a low profile that way.

 

[Neki]

Also what kind of title is this, who is responsible

 

[heymonkey]

Who would do such a thing?! Dastardly. Guess now we just use spec to workshop a new and improved title!

 

[Neki]

Geno with the wacky gambit. I need to do wacky gambits more too so I can try it as scum.

 

[Randomless]

The great thing about these Geno gambits is that they are hilarious regardless of the result.

If I had to bet I would say Geno has a role that requires living until a certain day. If I wanted to get big-bastard-brained, maybe his role requires being killed off to use its ability, like a reviver or a restless ghost.

 

[Hedin]

The great thing about these Geno gambits is that they are hilarious regardless of the result.

I am having a good time.

 

[weemadarthur]

And then cop-counterclaim bait?

I’d be on that like flies on shit.

It would very much shock me if geno WAS town!cop, but even if he is, this play deserves a vote-out.

 

[weemadarthur]

I am having a good time.

Is your tag a pronunciation guide? Because I always read your name as hedon…

 

[Hedin]

Is your tag a pronunciation guide? Because I always read your name as hedon…

It's a Monkey tag so? I have always done it as He-din (as in the first part of dinner) but I am also not Icelandic so I have no clue.

 

[weemadarthur]

….ist

 

[Neki]

I would have liked one day to see geno tried to fake a green or red check. At least day 1 actually meant something today.

 

[Maolfunction]

reading spec without actually reading the game yet is great, would do again.

my no read call is Hawthorn is scum

 

[heymonkey]

Is your tag a pronunciation guide? Because I always read your name as hedon…

It IS. It was a placeholder tag until we found a real one (like Neki’s lol) but also I was mispronouncing his name!
