Spectator Thread Chilling at Neutral Holy Ground

[lokiduck]

For many eons and eons the Holy church has been a neutral observer of the Holy Grail War and it is ou- I'll just skip all the boring crap.

Welcome to spec chat where observers of the holy grail war and the dead can sit back, relax, and speculate about our masters and servants and who they think will win this HGW!

 

[Alexem]

Quick heads up - I can see the scum chat. (To avoid spoiling things for myself I blurred my eyes - I thought I might have seen a name I shouldn't have, but it was just Vere.) Might want to check the permissions.

 

[Fanto]

Yeah I can see Scum chat too lol.

 

[lokiduck]

Yeah we are aware >> We are doing massive damage control now

 

[lokiduck]

Okay we are good. >>; Let's not talk about that again.

 

[Fanto]

*pokes head back in*

Ok, that looks good now lol.

So excited to see this game run, really interested to see how people react to the mechanics.

Yep >> We already saw some of that with the talk about the new rule in the mafia thread >>;

launch might just beat stan for best avatar this game

XD It is amazing. I love Ephi's too :D

 

[Alexem]

Always good to see a few newcomers in the roster - best of luck to the first-timers!

 

[malus]

Woah, Stan's avatar is absolutely incredible!

 

[Alexem]

Are Masters and servents 100% confirmed to have the same alignment?

Yes. No. Maybe so?

so just to be clear the official answer is " can't answer" or "No response" ?

The official answer in full:

 

[Hedin]

I accidentally spoilered myself (which is why I dropped out of replacements) which in a way is going to be interesting knowing the scum team and seeing how they play. I haven't had this view yet in this community.

It can be quite fun actually. It has definitely help me understand how scum works better.

 

[lokiduck]

lol not much happened while I was away I see.

 

[Hedin]

After reading the cliff notes about Fate I have come to the unique conclusion that anime and mangas are fucking weird as hell and I can't decide if it's good or bad that I never got into them because of that.

Since there's a lot of fate content, the good news is there's probably something you'd like depending on your tastes, the issue is finding that specific series. XD

 

[Fanto]

Feels like a pretty slow start so far, though I guess it did start on the weekend.

I ended up being a Mentor for one of the new players this game btw, though I will keep who it is a secret from my fellow Spectators just because I said so lol.

Yeahhhhhhh we realized it being a weekend might be an issue, but if we need to we can extend it. However, I'm sure it'll pick up >>

 

[Alexem]

It's only D1, to be fair - it's usually mostly shitposting until someone decides to start an arbitrary train.

 

[Alexem]

"...and that's when I realised that some bastard had stolen my trousers!"

 

[AllThingsPurple]

I dont think I'm ever not going to be suspicious of launch.

 

[Alexem]

I dont think I'm ever not going to be suspicious of launch.

I did wonder if he was kicking the tyres when he brought Zeke up to see if anyone would agree.

 

[heymonkey]

it's been a long, long time since anyone managed this, but yes, Launch wins.

 

[heymonkey]

Yes Stan did a great job :D

I concur - i think it helps a lot to watch a game like that every now and then.

 

[turmoil7]

I like launch's avatar plenty but I'm siding with Stan here

No one's modkilled yet? I'm disappointed.

 

[Alexem]

No one's modkilled yet? I'm disappointed.

Any takers for who's going to be the first to slip up? The smart money might be on Jman going so all-in that he forgets the rule at the worst possible time, but I'd be tempted to take a punt on a sauce-fuelled Stan.

 

[lokiduck]

"...and that's when I realised that some bastard had stolen my trousers!"

It'd beeven funnier if I didn't know that's what her regular outfit looks like. Silly Emperor Nero :p

nah, we've got D&D tomorrow with Stan so I think he'll be more likely sober.

 

[lokiduck]

Wee doesn't like the gifs I'm giving her :<

 

[AllThingsPurple]

Yeah everyone was right in mario kart, jman really is way more subdued these days..

 

[Hedin]

wow you guys write a lot

They have no idea and this is a rather tame opening. The amount of posting was the biggest thing that I had to get used to in this community and I'm not sure if I am completely there yet either.

 

[lokiduck]

LOL Jman's argument against prod votes but support for a no vote day is amusing as fuck. XD

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Unlimited Blade Works? More like Unlimited Gif Works amirite?

Spoiler

I’ll see myself out

No stay :D We need some fun in this spec chat.

[turmoil7]

I wonder how many will bus their servant just to throw people off

 

[turmoil7]

 

[heymonkey]

I'm liking all these newbies. Can we keep them?

 

[malus]

Could this be the first time we see a deliberate no kill D1? Or will they come to their senses?

 

[lokiduck]

As honored as I would be the gamerunner of the first game with deliberate no kill... I actually forgot to write flavor for if no one actually dies.

 

[Hedin]

I kind of want a no kill day when I'm not playing to have a real world example of why it doesn't work so it doesn't get taken seriously again.

Narrator's voice It got taken seriously anyways

 

[lokiduck]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Our tank snails laid eggs a while back and now there are a ton of baby snails around the tank. they are so cute ;w;

The issue is we thought they wouldn't actually hatch and now I have to deal with a ton of baby snails

 

[Verelios]

This is completely true. There would be games I'd be in with Monkey, Nat, Sorian, Fran, etc. having 150+ posts in the day, where I'd wake up to 15 pages, and I'd be typing away trying to cope like:

 

[turmoil7]

lmao what is this

 

[turmoil7]

what happens if no kill ties with <player>?

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

What a way to end the day lol

 

[Fanto]

Great EoD, definitely one for the history books, well done all around folks.

 

[A Wild Shark Appears]

Would it be possible for me to get viewing access to the scum chat? I initially wasn’t going to ask because I saw the team in the beginning, but I forgot half the roster lol.

My scum game is really bad so I’d like to analyze how a team plays in real time if that’s allowed.

We'll make a special case for you only. c: We will also remove your liking permissions so you won't be tempted to like any posts. ;)

Thank you!

 

[lokiduck]

Thank you!

Monkey also wants you to venmo her 5 bucks, but you have access now.

 

[Fanto]

Do Scum also only get to talk at night, or is that just for the Lovers chats? I can't remember from the review lol.

Tbh, I don't remember like, anything, from the review, other than a few key roles/mechanics and the reasons why it's a Bastard game lol. :P

XD the lover chats are the only ones that are night based :p Scum chat is normal.

 

[Alexem]

So Launch pokes around for interest in Zeke early on, nothing happens, then Zeke winds up as the leading train against no kill at the end almost out of nowhere. Mm. Maybe it's Launch's run as scum last year talking, but something seems whiffy to me there.

 

[lokiduck]

These night chats are proving interesting

 

[Verelios]

It's really like when world's collide.

Wish granted? I do not think this will go well.

idk what you mean, i only post ten a day

 

[lokiduck]

I just found another stash of snail eggs in back of the tank. >> More snail babies on the way.

 

[Hedin]

Also here's a fun idea. For those who don't know the roster, why don't spec chat guess who they think the lover pairs are besides their normal scum hunting :D

 

[Alexem]

I suppose the first question is if anyone felt brave enough to place a distancing vote for their partner? Scum would have had the chance to discuss that in their own chat, of course, but town would have needed to do it without warning.

Yeah it'll be interesting to see if partners either massively town read each other or bus for distancing. XD

Spoiler

I will say tho that one player did vote for their partner.

 

[turmoil7]

I'm not paid enough attention to guess pairs.

I fear if town wins we will have lots of no kills in he immediate future

 

[turmoil7]

idea: a vigilante that gets shots from town no killing

could be scum

 

[Alexem]

I think round here we'd call that vanilla. (Recent events excluded, naturally.)

[A Wild Shark Appears]

I can’t wait to read these lovers chats.

 

[turmoil7]

did something interesting happen with the night actions?

 

[lokiduck]

did something interesting happen with the night actions?

It was a pretty chill night power processing wise. Vere and I were excited about one thing, but then we remembered we changed the role in review so it wasn't as excited then.

Spoiler

However, a town master did fuck over their servant in a way that might help them later depending on how the servant takes it. That lover chat is going to be exciting.

Needless to say we'll have some people joining spec soon

I can’t wait to read these lovers chats.

They are a lot of fun. A def recommendation.

 

[Hedin]

Needless to say we'll have some people joining spec soon

Some people implies that a master bought it then.

 

[Sorian]

Why did L_P have to act all sketchy in lover’s chat lol

 

[lokiduck]

Why did L_P have to act all sketchy in lover’s chat lol

I think because of that your lover chat is the shortest one. XD

I would have said this info earlier, but it would have made it obvious who scum killed :<

 

[Verelios]

Why did L_P have to act all sketchy in lover’s chat lol

He tried to keep his post count to a minimum.

 

[lokiduck]

He tried to keep his post count to a minimum.

That's true XD You guys had 10 posts all together. XD

 

[turmoil7]

[...]but you still want to help your master, especially when they are nice to you like this one has been.
[...]

Your master is: Sorian.

lol

 

[lokiduck]

lol

Considering Sorian used the redirect He def wasn't playing like his flavor.

 

[Sorian]

lol

I was a very nice master, I totally didn’t distrust him and use night one as a long exercise in testing whether he was lying to me.

 

[Sorian]

Considering Sorian used the redirect He def wasn't playing like his flavor.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, per the rules, I took no action.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

My fate was sealed when I was partnered with Sorian.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I was thinking about posting more but then I remembered the possibility of mixed alignment. And since I was RB that's usually a scum role.

 

[AllThingsPurple]

This d2 bickering is great.

 

[turmoil7]

The idea of Fran posting a wrongly formatted vote on purpose crossed my mind, glad I was not alone

 

[lokiduck]

My summary for the day so far can be summed up as :I Especially to some of the PMs I received.

 

[Sorian]

You passed my test, too bad we died lol

 

[Sorian]

Btw Loki and/or Vere, was my actual scum read any good? I won’t see who it was so a yes no shouldn’t be spoilers for anyone else (the person I targeted)
