Dies to Removal

Was it only meth and marijuana? I'm surprised there would only be two factions if the cops were recruiting too...

Any cops want to tell us how their faction worked?

I'm so confused by the design of this game. The Marijuana faction is strictly better than the Meth faction in multiple ways.

Can you link to your Grow Op? I'm curious how different the drug factions were.

I was vanilla. Became a meth user after Night 2 (with hamfactorial). The die rolling mechanic on the recruitment was weird, though probably necessary for game balance and to keep the mystery. Not a fan of random mechanics ever though. Link to the Meth Trap House.

Was anyone not a cop/drug dealer/thug? Any weird twists?

This game has been running for 53 days. Today is our 39th day of Night.

I want to play mafia. Sorry CM.

Poor CM. I almost feel bad except that NOTHING IS HAPPENING!!!

Losers get half their team killed off?

I'm in. Who's modding? Can we do mafia-game themed?

"It's a battle of the mafia games! Captain Murphy, DroppinSuga and Iso have banded together with their weird-ass busted games and are trying to take over the subforum! Can the rest of the mafia-games find them and destroy them in time!? If they can't, it'll be cult games forever!"

Caught in a landslide.

No escape from this cult game.

No, hammy, these men are cowards.

"But it's not fair!"

"Fair! WHO'S THE FUCKING NIHILIST HERE! WHAT ARE YOU, A BUNCH OF FUCKING CRYBABIES?"

I think that's J-1.

Where the hell is Manders?

What is your role, Suga?

If ya'll have already investigated Red, maybe try TubeHunter. He's my other solid read.

Uh uh, are things finally getting interesting?

Things have to get worse before they get better, I guess. If that's the case, I may as well just out that I'm about 90% sure that you are a faction leader. Now the cops can investigate you and recruit me tonight! How's that for interesting!

Ugh. What a disaster.

The bolded is interesting. Are you suggesting that there are factions that are not drug cartels?

Yes.

Elaborate? Please don't tell me the cops are recruiting too.

@Kaze - does your PM indicate which faction you benefit from or are harmed by if recruited by them?

No.

Kaze, was this a lie?

Also yes.

Why lie about that?

Brutal, right? Legit, we'll be playing this 6 months from now, no joke.

@Kaze - does your PM indicate which faction you benefit from or are harmed by if recruited by them?

No.

Kaze, was this a lie?

Not like I can get them killed anyway. Why wouldn't they claim?

I think whoever the cops are should claim. That way we can help you find the druggies. I'm a thug for hire, man. Doesn't mean I need to be working against you! Give me a gun and we're set!

Any movement on this front? I realise you might think I'm trying to trick you, but really all I want to do is help move this game forward.

So when they try to recuit you, CM tells you which faction it is? Does that mean you know the faction names?

Yes. Well, sort of. It's not told exactly what the faction is called. Merely some nebulous description of what's trying to recruit me. Usually in the form of "Do you wanna buy some X?" if it's a drug faction, for example.

The bolded is interesting. Are you suggesting that there are factions that are not drug cartels?

Hmm, yeah, I'd forgotten that you claimed that. So when they try to recuit you, CM tells you which faction it is? Does that mean you know the faction names?

I think whoever the cops are should claim. That way we can help you find the druggies. I'm a thug for hire, man. Doesn't mean I need to be working against you! Give me a gun and we're set!

Pretty easy to play when you don't care what happens, yeah.

Kaze, why would you decline to join a faction?

I'm sure you can think of reasons why.

Because you're already in a faction!

Not really. Unless you're a cop, I guess. I have no idea why you'd be allowed to decline in a game like this though. It's just a bizarre choice for game design. On top of that, I don't think it's even in your best interest to decline, so I'm still not sure I believe you. Not that it matters what I believe.

maybe we should just be voting Kaze instead? Thoughts?

Nope, not voting for your cop buddy. But nice try.

I have decided that this game is fucked up. The fact that talking about anything actively works against my eventual wincon is balls. That said, I believe it's time I join a faction.

Vote Stardust.

I guess things are happening behind the scenes?

Like, I do more or less understand what's going on (I think), but this game is going to go loooooooooong.

Kaze, why would you decline to join a faction?

As long as things are happening, I guess. We're coming up on a week here though (again). ETA?

Should we just abandon this game, or what?

I hate to be a dick since I'm sure CM put a lot of work into this game, but given that we're looking at probably a dozen Night phases at least, I'm not really looking forward to 6 months of this...

Does it matter?

Yes it matters, being in a faction means that they can't be trusted.

Do you have any plans for attaining a win condition this game?

Whatever, this game is boring.

Unvote.

I will vote for anyone. Literally anyone to get to tonight.

Does it matter? The only question you need to ask yourself is whether or not imopen is a cop.

Assuming Kaze is telling the truth, I'm extremely surprised that you can decline to be recruited. This game is going to take forever.

The judge can't do anything. The police investigation failed.

I want Manders to post before we end the Day. Otherwise, I'm happy to vote for imopen again.

Why did you decline?

What does that tell you, rcw?

Word. Still neutral. Give me a call when we have something to talk about.

Vote Manders.

Don't you just hate it when people lie about their roles?
