I just realized that if Grizzly goes down, we have to play a guessing game to figure out who's in range of the kill.

@Faddy assuming Grizzly goes down, can we specify a specific piece on the board to kill instead of the player name?
 
My automatic assumption is, no. We need to pick a player and hope they are within range.

My guess is, that's where my role power as cop comes into play. I can identify who is behind each token and we can kill based on that? Though since actions don't get performed until Night, it won't be much use for the first night but assuming Grizzly isn't lynch'd day 1, his power should be able to kill anyone that night.

If I die, you guus might need Pat to do kills for max range.

Let's see where pieces are at D1. At best case scenario we can use Sophia N1.

We will need your power to kill suffociently, and also create your claim.

If you have to claim, we should have you claim you will target players, not tokens.

Why is that? What if other peoples powers that target others only target tokens, won't that cause me to seem suspicious?

Then again, we're not even sure what roles may be around. I'm guessing someone will be a Vig though. Just guessing...

Targeting tokens to reveal players behind them seems definitely like a scum power to me, but idk. What do others think?

Maybe pat shoushould always block the spot with most players in it at least at the start. Even if sophia or stuart are in those spots.

I just want to make sure we can get the role claim to sound as towny as possible of the claims needs to be done.

Some last quick notes before game starts:

1. Don't panic/don't get intimidated. Town is a fickle beast - even if you end up receiving lot of votes during day phase, the town might easily turn sides and eat one of their own anyway. In the same way, don't panic if someone suspects you/votes you. Reacting with aggression or panic in the game thread will only result in more people viewing you as scummy.

2. Contribute contribute.

Usually the rule of thumb is not to discuss only mechanics on D1, as that might look as scum controlling the convo away from hunt. But this game has lot of unique mechanics to it, so it will be discussed to some length.

And if bussing seems like the most logical solution to go for, go for it. Let's not repeat the problems of "scum x defended scum y really obviously"

So...

Sophia is in Euston Road - her radius ranges from 1st Community Chest till Northumrl'd Avenue
Grizzly is in Pall Mall - range everywhere
Stuart is in Income Tax - range from Oxford Street till Bow Street
DCPat is in Euston Road (I think?) - range from Super Tax till Marlborogh Street

D. Players Landing on Chance or Community Chest will draw a card from the randomly shuffled pile. After all cards in a pile have been drawn the discarded cards will be re-shuffled.

So what we know is that there won't be multiple copies of a chance or community chest card until they are discarded and the initial pile is exhausted.
 
So we can eliminate Mayfair at least. Someones in Jail, is there any other way besides a chance card? If not then that's two cards off the table.

DCPat rolled Mafia Woof two games in a row! I have waited 2 days to lol.

Only chance card we can most likely remove is the mayfair one, ya. For others, I need to think... Kyan already did lot of legwork for us, lol. Let's call the chance cards C1-C12 as well, community chest cards can be called CC1-CC12
 

The Bear

There might be a PR that can with a command receive a chance or CC card just by requesting. Need to keep that in mind.
 
Is it likely for someone to get a several double rolls and land on Go To Jail?

You're right in that the only chance card we can DEFO remove is the Mayfair one but I'd say the Go to jail one is likely as well.

No other cards are for sure yet.
 

The Bear

The movement cards are most likely there to mess up with our ranges.

Some cards are dangerous. Oxford Street kill card is essentially an RNG reliant instant kill. Let's hope we don't land there often. The "swap two tokens" can majorly mess up our targeting.
 

The Bear

As a note, I haven't received any PM about buying property or anything. So it seems that won't be a factor to the game.
 

The Bear

With the existence of that card, I think we can rule out a vigilante PR, though.
 

The Bear

The more they discuss cards, the more information we will get (especially stuff we might have missed) - but I'm going to discourage from discussing it in the game thread - I honestly don't see much logic in over-analysing it atm from town POV
 

The Bear

It doesn't seem likely that the train:

1. Did three doubles in a row
2. or landed on "go to jail" space.

So it's likely they got some type of chance/cc hit.
 
I'd say it means we should only have to be worried about two people having powers depending on what chance they got.

At the same time, they may keep it for a later night. Nothing says you need to use the card that same night.
 
Players in Jail can't vote right? Since they can't submit a command at all right?

Or is it just actions like Kill, etc that Jail stops you from doing?

Let's not be hasty. I think there will be regular PR roles on top of the C/CC cards. I do think there won't be PRs that share the powers the C/CC cards have, tho.

So I think it's likely that C9 and C10 have been used. C9 for Train, C10 for Rocking Horse. We don't know what Rocking Horse and Bag received at this point, but it seems likely 1/3 of chance cards are already in play.
 

The Bear

I'm also quite positive that no CC cards are in use yet. The first CC spot would require a 1-1 dice throw - which is unlikely. Nobody but the duck didn't seem to even make it to the second CC spot.

However, the Duck remains a mystery. To get where they were with simple dice roll would require 21 spots out of 24. Not impossible, but very lucky. Hmmmmmm

E. Rolling Doubles (e.g 5-5) will give a another Dice Roll, 3 consecutive Doubles will put a Player in Jail

F. Jail will not protect a Player from being targeted by night actions

G. Players “In Jail” will be unable to submit a Command and will roll from Just Visiting at the beginning of the next Day Phase

I think jailed players can still vote. If they couldn't, that would give us way too much information, and possibly break the game balance.

Man I really like being scum in this already awesome game. But I gotta admit I was secretely hoping for vanilla townie for once. I still don't know how to play as town lol

'inherited night kill...'

Could that mean that this card would redirect our NK instead of there being an extra nk?

Especially this early in the game we shouldn't panic much. I've already received questions from multiple directions, but that's really only because I have been the only one generating any sort of content.

Yea, I won't panic to much about it. It's just the wording he used that made me think he had something. But It's monopoly so I don't really think day 0 moves
 
Ok. So when I use my night action on Pentonville I will block Cat, Car, Battleship, and Top Hat from doing night actions at another space and I will block people from the outside completing actions at Pentonville
 

The Bear

Obligatory Gay Bear of the Society
So your block also blocks from actions being targeted to the space as well? Woah.
 
I don't think any of you mentioned, but I want to make you aware of the fact that the "Dog" is the most populair Monopoly token. Just fyi.
 
Yeah, it's sitting on Mayfair. So either it's going in reverse or it's owner had some power to decide where it went. I think the lowest you can roll in Monopoly is a 2 as well so...

See above, we discussed it and came to the conclusion that it was probably the chance card for Go to Mayfair as it's the most likely possibility.
 

The Bear

There are most likely PR that can only dp actions to tokens that are on the same space as they are (aka. No range). My role would be a counter to those.
 

The Bear

Obligatory Gay Bear of the Society
Ketkat has already correctly guessed Stuarts role, lol. This is why I'm not comfortable claiming the role 100% as it is.
 

The Bear

Obligatory Gay Bear of the Society
We are going to need to have stuart do investigative work for us on that, while creating a town sounding claim for him.

Luckily one of the cards will reveal a player/token for us every once in a while.
 

The Bear

Obligatory Gay Bear of the Society
I think my possible role claim may simply be ''I can't land on C/CC". That could be explained as both pro town, but also bit hindering role. And it's the truth.
 

The Bear

Obligatory Gay Bear of the Society
Interesring that most of the aggressive players have been really quiet - I think the one with most forward momentum has been Kyan.
 

The Bear

Obligatory Gay Bear of the Society
Hmm... I wonder what the likelyhood is that there isn't any traditional doctor type of role.
 

The Bear

Scum jailors aren't common right? Maybe pat can claim town jailor who can jail spaces.

Assuming I'm still alive alive at that point, I'll be visiting friends during N2 (saturday-sunday).
 
It's so hard to decide what to post lol. I overthink things >.<

That said, it is awfully quiet so far this day phase. I expected more activity

Just remember - town knows scum is more afraid to post. Don't give them that impression. Don't discuss only mechanics is my advice for noe.

I don't think Kyan will be a likely lynch candodate today - but let him be on the spotlight for now.

I very much want to shoot Brazil dead because he's starting to fill in that strong town leader group.

Let's see. I was expecting for Nicole to take that role, but she seems to be playing lot more passive this time around for some reason. Might point that out again if it continues.

I don't know Nicole at all as a player. What was she in previous games? A player you expecting to be a town leader not being one reeks of them getting a power role.
