The Shop Night 5

[Hedin]

Welcome to The Shop.

A few rules:

- You may not post your role PMs in this chat.
- The chat will close when/if a transaction is made.
- If no transaction is made then chat will close at action lock.
- I'm not making any hard and fast syntax on how the transaction needs to be approved, just both parties have to clearly consent to the transaction.

 

[Sorian]

Natiko, do not offer me any items yet, don't even start the shop process.

Tell me everything about your role that your role allows you to spoil, I do actually have a theory which I'll get to once I start purchasing but I need to understand your role inside and out as you know it first. I'm good for it, you know me well enough to know that I will always protect a neutral's win con.

 

[Natiko]

I am a neutral NPC Vendor. Each day phase I can invite someone to a bargaining chat the following night. The chat remains open until an agreement is reached, at which point it closes.

I receive a list of four random items each night that I can offer, of which I do not know what they do. Below are my offerings so far and tonight.

Night 1 for Nin:
Box of Candy Hearts
Sontendo Box Power Magazine
A Can of Energy
An Oddly Shaped Piece of Metal

Night 2 for Ty:
A Small Slip of Paper
A Can of Energy
An Old Newspaper sold 1 exp
A Vial with a Green And White Swirling Potion

Night 3 for Fran:
A Small Slip of Paper
Box of Candy Hearts
Sontendo Box Power Magazine sold 1 exp
A Roll of Toilet Paper

Night 4 for Alexem:
A Treasure Chest
A Roll of Toilet Paper
A Map of Aeredale
A Can of Energy sold 2 exp

Night 5 for you:
A White Flag
A Vial with a Green And White Swirling Potion
Two Cans On A String
An Old Newspaper

I had the option of using an anonymous account but opted to use my own account which was a specific option presented to me pregame to decide on. I win and exit the game when I hit a specific amount of exp earned via trades. Exp earned by other means does not apply.

Look, I’m going to ask some questions and I would really appreciate if you just answer. If you tell me you want to pass on answering, I’ll trust that you are not allowed by the mod to answer. But we are deep enough in here and I really want you to trust me enough here to just spill.

Is that really the only four items you can offer me? There isn’t a wider list I can pick from?

Do you know of any other mechanics that you are hiding, I don’t mind if you tell me that buying from you has a chance of death when you leave or something, I can work with that I just need to know?

How much exp do you need to leave can get you out of here realistically much faster than your original timeline but I need numbers.

Can you invite someone multiple times, same person two days in a row?

 

[Natiko]

I’m being 100% with you. If I was just trying to play optimally I would’ve invited Ael probably, but I wanted to at least see what you had cooking. I don’t have anything to my role beyond what I shared. I don’t have any abilities I can spend points on, I have no control over the items, nothing. I know that one item each night is functionally useless, but I don’t know which.

I’m at 4 exp currently. I need to get to 12 exp (I assume the balance being I suck up a full player’s worth of exp). I don’t have any restrictions on who I invite, though obviously it benefits me to make sure I can get enough exp over time. Ideally I’d like to walk away from tonight with 4 more exp to get a good chunk closer if at all possible. Happy to talk through whatever you’re thinking, but I don’t personally have anything extra to reveal.

 

[Natiko]

Oh there is one rule, the transaction has to be for at least 1 exp. I can’t just give stuff away.

 

[Sorian]

Hmm, one item being useless throws a wrench in my theory. So my thought was that the more exp you spend, the better the items effect. Your 1 exp people basically got told public info they knew already where as Alex bumped you by 2 exp and he actually got something with a night effect even if it was useless to him

 

[Sorian]

Look I trust you here because this situation is precarious and you clearly only want to get your win con so I’m hoping that we’ve pulled together enough dumb ass wins in the past that you’ll do me a courtesy here and just play as you have been plus you used me for your last mislynch that one time and that still hurts my feelings years later so we can use this to call it even. You won’t get night killed, you won’t get voted out, so you have time. I don’t even need you to play more than you have been, I should be fine one more day regardless so you don’t have to try to start working with us or anything. Getting a couple items and getting you out of the game without wasting a kill is literally all we need.

I’m scum, this situation is really rough and I’m hoping that I can somehow scrounge something good out of you to even the playing field. I’m not going to tell you who the last scum is since that’s literally my only bargaining chip here but everything else on the table. Geno was 100% right because he is insane, scum shares their experience. We have enough to get you out of here tomorrow night if you invite me again, I just want two items and hopefully something good comes of it.

 

[Natiko]

Oof, that’s rough. I have truly enjoyed just being able to relax for most of this game lol I don’t have any issue with that. I half wondered if your secret hope was that I was going to be recruitable and that you were mafia anyways. Besides, I gave Town that one win - gotta balance the scales somehow. Is there any specific item you’d like tonight? I genuinely won’t have any control over what’s available next time so I would operate with that in mind.

 

[Sorian]

It's going to have to be that vial right? I'm either looking for something lethal or something that can protect. I still like the idea of more exp means better effect, so I have to test it. I'm thinking 5 exp tonight and the rest tomorrow? That seem ok? I'm going to claim I was here tonight and give my theory to the town tomorrow but I might change what I bought and for how much and such to match up correctly. I don't think people have cared to make you confirm but obviously just look at my public post to see what I'm saying I bought and spent.

 

[Sorian]

This is my consent to buy the vial for 5 xp btw

I need to go to sleep early tonight because I'm up at 3am tomorrow so I'm out after this.

 

[Natiko]

We can just keep it split even - I accept for 4 exp. I’ll be crossing my fingers for you all that the vial has a particularly great effect.

 

[Sorian]

Alright, I accept at 4 too, was going to push for 5 just in case my theory was right but if anything, the break point would probably be 6 exp jjst like the abilities are
