I think I haven't made many fakeclaims and the ones I have made have been universally terrible and improbable, so I'm 100% in favor of this idea

You claimed to be a town aligned part of the scum once due to hilariously misunderstanding how to interpret your role and results and while you weren't quite 'fake' claiming that I would count it anyway because I have imagined something in a similar spirit would make for a fun experiment and would love to see it get run in a game.

Hi I don't think I know you - can you clarify the "allowed" bit?

Also upon reviewing game histories, I have some confusion over whether you are or are not Nat20?

We are at 21 right now, but if you join Discord i think we can figure something out.

lol yeah Shwinn referred to that as my "townslip" in a recent game and I laugh every time I think of it

All right, game on!

Everyone should have gotten their "Official" role PM which will have cleaned-up language.

Feel free to post through day actions unless they look like a lethal action aimed toward you. If you are using an action in-thread that will need mod resolution, please ping @PO-Mods

NOTE! You all have played in a shitton of cool games. SOME of them have wacky mechanics! SOME of those wacky mechanics have made it into this game! SOME of those wacky mechanics are being used as RED HERRINGS for various reasons.

TWO additional wacky mechanics that MAY or MAY NOT be RED HERRINGS:

1) There will be a special mechanic for this game. The Duel. In the Scarlet Peach Blossom Sect any Core Disciple may choose once to duel with any other Core Disciple using ##challenge, although the challenged party always has the right to ##refuse. This will result in a coin flip by the moderator to see who comes out on top. While a challenge may not result in death, death is possible.

In other words, you get one challenge and can use it to challenge any other player. If that player refuses, you keep your challenge. The one who refuses may get a small penalty for refusing, representing a lowering of status in the eyes of the Sect.

[Cube]ONLY players are playing characters from that game may ##challenge in thread as a public day action. If they ##challenge someone who is NOT playing a "Core Disciple" (character from that game), the action will fail unresolved (and they can't ##challenge again until the next day).[/Cube]

2) :siren:

The Logic System :siren:

In past AA games, I had set up a system where all players vote at night in secret for one player to be found guilty, and one to be found not guilty. The Guilty verdict would severely penalize a player, and the Not Guilty would benefit them.

It was cumbersome, plus there's no verdicts in AAI:ME, so I have changed the system to a Logic System. It's the same theme, you can either get benefits or penalties, but applied differently.

(1) Halfway through the day, the two players with the most votes will receive BAD LOGIC penalties! The two players with the fewest votes will recieve GOOD LOGIC benefits! Ties will be broken randomly.
(2) Players can switch from BAD LOGIC to GOOD LOGIC, and vice versa, via future votes. However, they are not eligible for result they currently hold (e.g. one player cannot repeatedly get BAD LOGIC).
(3) Knowledge of these results is sometimes hidden for balancing purposes. No BAD LOGIC will EVER result in immediate or delayed death.
(4) Good and Bad Logic results should not be used to infer alignment. None will confirm players as town or scum.
added 2/17 (5) After fewer than 12 players are alive, there will only be one player per day selected for GOOD/BAD LOGIC effects.

[Cube]If your role does not have LOGIC components to it, this does not impact you.[/Cube]

I'm take now as a chance to come out and admit a deep truth, everytime someone claims miller I imagine someone who brings a pepper mill to a dining table to grind it on the food

I assume this means you're a vanilla-flavored miller/cop town player

It was actually 1 or more truths and one or more lies. You know, that classic game one or more truths and one or more lies

oh that both makes more sense and is somewhat disappointing, I wanted to see what powers being vanilla-flavored would confer, like some sort of ice cream mafia madness

The phrase "και έτσι ξεκινά ένα νέο κεφάλαιο..." is Greek for "and so a new chapter begins..." It's a phrase often used to signify the start of a new phase or period in life, suggesting hope, new opportunities, and a fresh start.

PREVIOUSLY, on "Previously On...[Mafia]" --- Cube started the game without using the entire flavor gimmick about callbacks. Consider this a correction for that flavor miss. Additionally, I messed up the deadline by two hours. VF is correct now.
