The sentence was cut short as the walls of the room around them began to fall away.
“Apparently the cube wasn't destroyed after all.”
“Or a new one was made,” said a female voice from the back of the room. That thought wasn’t finished, however, as blue tendrils began to invade the expanse that they found themselves floating. It struck them all at once as Thanos’ form materialized before them.
“I’m going to give this world a chance to show me its power. Some amongst you are now in my control. Find them. And kill them. If you fail, I’ll kill you all. If you succeed…..maybe I can find a place for you in my empire.”
As quickly as he had appeared, he was gone and left behind were concerned faces. Only one voice could be heard breaking the silence.
“I am Groot.”

So it seems that items are in play, from what I can gather, that when gathered can control the game in a way that's like a mafia verison of the gantlet itself. May be some wild guessing but that's the implication I'm getting from this.
So...um...I'm sharing this so our team has a fighting chance but do with this info as you will. Hopefully we can warrock this thing up.

Need to wait another 55 minutes before thinking that day 1 might be normal.
There's that galactic arena at least that I'm sure other people have noticed.

I’m sure the mafia and any potential neutrals would totally play along.
From what I understand Sorian is giving is this first day together so we can start to like each other and then will break us starting day 2. We should enjoy this.

I really think we should at least entertain a lynch for discussion. Agreeing to a no lynch in the beginning would kinda just stall the day out, I think.

Well if you don't vote for no lynch it means you aren't town.
Also the first person to talk about neutrals is ALWAYS a neutral.
My role and its power is what I'm getting the info from, yeah
Not sharing much more cause, y'know, role could have some use

This is likely to be a very high information game, with a lot of public kills flying around later, and with 50 players I'm not sure I'd even want to go back and reread day 1 later.
But still, a lynch should still be the correct play.

Was thinking the same thing, odd post. Had to reread it and then read the intro posts and still confused tbh.
I was curious about this as well as I can't see what is being referred to here.
So talking about your role right away even if you're not sharing much huh.
Didn't expect that to start the day off.

I like that we have a role claim in post 1 too.
I don't think this is likely to be 100% role madness, if only because coming up with 50 roles seems a massive challenge, but probably still a lot of PR's around.

Why are you claiming a PR already and why did Ynnek even ask about your role :(
Is this actually how it works? I dunno I get day 2 can help us but lynching this day could do same here and maybe even put us advance

Nah, no lynch D1 has never and will never be my approach or a good idea in my mind.
And think that if you want, but we both know there’s no way there aren’t at least a few sprinkled in here.

If not, they can just communicate using morse code or something. Normal "I am Groot" is a dot, "I am Grooooooot" is a dash.

I was mainly looking for clarification. There should be a "not sure" in my original post since I didn't know if he was picking something up from the intro post that I was missing, or something else.
See also: Bill & Ted
Also, as for CoolestSpot... It also wasn’t wise to put yourself as a power role early on, but I can understand wanting to get the knowledge of items. I can see justifying a role claim this early to let people know.
Still... a role claim Post 1. The only time I’ve seen that was the first time my IRL group played with a Jester/Tanner so the guy started off claiming wolf because he feigned believing it was an all-wolf game.

Coolest doing that I guess if you haven't seen him play before. I don't see taking the bait as all that odd though. More of an inevitability.
I agree Coolest's post was inviting role questions but I figure I'd ask anyways. When has the D1 rolefisher ever turned out to be mafia anyways lol
And honestly I'm of the mind that Coolest is just doing some D1 gambit because the game was advertised as relatively normal outside of the minigames and dayvigs. I doubt there'd be items thrown in, but I'll keep an open mind. Plus claiming this early does seem too weird to be truthful.

Since flavor and roles were randomized I don’t think that is possible.
Verelios

I'm willing to believe coolest has info on items because that's an easily provable claim, either the game has items or it doesn't. What does lying about that do?
CrimsonFist
Neutral Vanilla
Drives discussion from the start, or just for fun. Opening with a fake role claim or gambit isn't really unheard of, and more often than not seems to be from vanilla town.
It's easy enough to play off as a day 1 gambit if it is a lie too.
Verelios
Were-elios
Yeah, it being a gambit is possible, but for it to drive discussion when it's a lie? I doubt it because it was shot down with
*I know X because of my role
*Don't ask me Y because it involves my role
Where is the gambit? It doesn't make sense if there aren't items.
Natiko
Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
Could be idle speculation or he has a role that relates to them. I think the better question would be is he looking for reactions or is he fishing for info? I’m inclined to guess the first since he doesn’t want to engage on the topic. Just not sure what the motive would be at this stage.

I'm locking it in.
Knowing CoolestSpot, there's a very good chance he's brewing chaos intentionally, too. But I feel there are more important things to look at... Somewhere. A role claim always screeches things to a halt, but I don't think there's too much else to look at other than the slightly-less-useless-but-still-useless Kill vs. No Kill, that only really serves to make me suspicious of No Kill people, even if plenty of Town/Villagers go for it, too. I don't see how it helps Village, but people do think that way.

What purpose would a no lynch bring against a lynch besides an obvious flip
I love my avatar and I don't want to change. D: What if I just gif a lot instead?
Anyway, I snagged all these quotes because I dunno if Coolest's is a gambit or if it's just Coolest coolesting, but I seem to recall in HvV the first folks to mention items had PMs that referenced 'em, so something to consider, maybe, but until or unless it becomes important... meh.
I would like to be on the side of good with Faddy and vote no lynch but yeah, mafia probably wouldn't play along because they are dongs. I think everyone should get to experience whatever wacky shit is going to go down day 2.
Sorry in advance for whomever eats the first lynch. :/
The whole discussion from the signup thread was that it's simply the nice thing to do so no one misses out. And who knows, maybe we wouldn't even see a kill due to behind the scenes shenanigans. There's literally no telling what Sorian's got cooked up for us.
But there are too many people who wouldn't even consider, though we could all be like this, waiting for d2:

Who are the mafia really?
I'm still thinking that Coolest is just doing a gambit, but I'm not sure we can make much more progress on this until we have more info or Coolest talks some more.
Also, maybe a dumb question but I'm not understanding why scum wouldn't support a no lynch? And how would they get in the way?

If scum flips on day one we can then record who defended them and why
(IN THEORY)
(IN THEORY)
Cause in the one game I played with items they were a big deal (well the one was a big deal) and the more players know the better chances we got. We got so many players I'm betting most will be dead by day 3 and want everyone to be aware.
To clarify why I'm jumping to conclusion about gathering items well, theres the theme, but beyond that my role allows me to interact with power's beyond a player's role...and yada yada...so there's that.
I'm close to fully role claiming which makes me realize I'm playing damn stupid probably but this is only my second time as town, and I'm better with scum gameplay to be honest. With scum I know what I'm suppoused to keep to my team or not, here I don't...
Also first time as town with PR, so sorry to jump the gun, but there's plently of surpises left to make me confident it's better to share.
Haha, so I have become known for my theatrics! A double crosser and man who plays roles beyond I'm given! Man, I'm pissed the staff didn't get Loki, I live for this type of shit.
To be fair I have always been a player of hidden or confusing content. But if I really wanted to play to my will and not my own team like before, wouldn't it be best to just go fully truthful and watch you all throw it away dismissingly? Hm?
Okay, besides acting like a ten year old theatre kid who got the villian role in school play for first time, I get not trusting moi. I have been known to be a wildcard and a man on my own terms, but honestly I want to see how far my team can get in this game. It's likely a pre-planned crazy enough game as is that I can saving having some bullshit gambit till later. Plus I'd like to make it beyond the first couple days and get near end.
But truth be told it was bold of me to jump to conclusion about gathering items but if "powers beyond roles" are in play that has to be items, right?
Fuck, I had forgotten about Bill and Ted until I read this. (Side note: sorry for leaving that game as I did, my life was crazy with school at that point and it was better that I did. Unless that was the game I died and I left some third game I forgot).
It was my bad for not being clear enough. The game had just started and was on work phone, and again, I thought it was best to give our team the info right away. Maybe it wasn't, guess we'll see.
Jester and Tanner confuses me, expeirence mafia players plus decode this.
I think I explained my thought process well enough, though halfway through this page I saw my plan's flaws. While I'd like to keep items in mind or whatever the second power is, I did drop a bomb that leaves analyzing normal interactions to stop, possibly allowing some scum to be weeded out early on like other games I've played (at least that's always what we attempted to do).
Man I dunno I just wanted us to have the info first thing, and not reveal it when it's to late or whatever.
Was it? I didnt get the ads and the player count made me think this would be a role crazy madhouse of a game. Guess I have to put my assumptions in check.
But darling, please remember.
The truth is always weirder then you'd expect.
If enough of us did it, they'd have to, but they'd still try to kill someone at night like assholes, so it gives them control. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT??

you can still post nonsense but just try to pair it with something even slightly significant.
I am against no lynching primarily on the principle that it is boring, also unproductive and give scum to much breathing room and encourages lethargic behavior in town, but primarily because its boring.
monkey that is a wonderful choice in avatar.

Ah that Day one mafia smell. Completely against the no lynch notion myself. For a game this large and likely filled to the brim with power roles it's not going to do much help anyway. Lynches always lead to more info somehow, and in a game this big we're going to need it.

I don’t want to table the lynch/no lynch discussion because it’s obviosuly more pressing today (#pro-lynch), but looking forward a bit, I’d like to ask what we think about the day vig mechanic. Optimal usage? Should we use it at all? @Nomad Sparkster mentioned keeping track of who defended scum. Would we want to focus shots on lists of prospective suspects, or are we going to fire willy nilly?

Voting no lynch is dumb, sure; usually it's about the worst choice, but if it's not tied to a gambit or done to prevent or throw off suspicion, there's little scum motivation there, but it's sure a good way for mafia to try to mount a mislynch, so like...

Depends on a lot of variables. In a game of this size it's harder to judge. Probably just whoever you suspect the most given enough people you trust give their takes. At the end of the day it's your shot to use as you see fit.
