I'm not convinced this is true, actually. I would argue that scum likely have a good deal more information than independent players or certainly members of the town; this is both due to their size- if they are a bigger team obviously this means that there are likely either fewer third parties with sizable groups or smaller third parties, their roles could very well give them a clue, and it's very possible the falvor does too. Third parties could also have additional information the town doesn't, but that's variable. I think that it's more likely to provide some evening out as long as nobody provides more dteail than absolutely necessary, but there is no real way of guaranteeing that, and I could definitely see some information coming from it, so since I haven't played the game in years I do want feedback before I push for it.
I would say that "town minority" is inherently basard, which hugh said he tried to avoid. I think there's definitely at least 3 non-town alignments, and if there are others, they're probably smaller, but this is shaky speculation.
Do you believe that each color in third parties is indicating a separate member of that group?
Do you have any particular reason to believe that a Cult would be in the game?
No. Some of them are colors of third parties in the game, but not all. While it is possible to be 12 3P's, it's not likely. Depending on whether the cult is also the Scum, I'd say 4-7 third parties are in the game.
Yes. Although it's less "believe" and more "know" that there is a cult.
Okay, scrapping my last idea. A cult makes it far less useful and we want cult to have as little information as possible Can you be any more specific on how you're so certain or if there is literally anything about them you feel comforatble telling us? Obviously I don't want you to say enough that you're roleclaiming, but we need to stomp cults out really fast so the more we know hte better.
I think it should be fine to say that The Ultimate Class Rep is in the game. The rolecard from the previous game is as follows:
Article: There are two kinds of Class Representatives in this world; those elected in popularity contests, and those who volunteer through peer pressure. You are the first kind. Everyone in your class loves you - you're charismatic, gorgeous, and impeccably dressed. No wonder you're so good at turning them into puppets. A killing game? Please. Everyone will fall under your command to live a peaceful school life - or be eliminated.
You are a member of the Student Council, and fill people with Despair. You win when only the Student Council remains. Please note that the Student Council, as a team, can only kill one person per Night phase.
Powers:
Communication: You can communicate with other Student Council members here.
Night Kill: You may eliminate a single player each Night phase. Your kill flavor is [Rejected].
Faction Leader: You are the one in charge of the Student Council, and as such, the ultimate choice on what member kills who is up to you. To use this power, send a PM saying "Kill [Player] with [Member]". If you die before your teammates, this power will be transferred to one of them.
Sheer Doki Doki Attack: You know just the right words to sway someone to your side. They might not know how much they love you yet, but they will soon enough. Once per Night phase, assuming you do not kill someone, you may attempt to recruit a player to the Student Council. To use this power, send a PM saying "Recruit [Player]".
Meticulous: You are a very...careful person. As such, you are always sure not to leave anything incriminating around. Being investigated will not implicate you in anything.
I'll try to be careful to not say too much here, but...
Makes sense, we have no idea if Hugh & Co. have messed around with the details of prior roles. They may have removed or added abilities to old roles. Scum roles may be town sided, or town roles may be scum sided...
Well the game warning says roles generally at most have minor changes. I'd rather assume the ability works, than to get blindsided by it later in the game, y'know?
Okay, I was going to ask what Bunch was on about but it seems to have resolved into a softclaim of role info, but I'm still not clear what this was referring to. Elaborate?
Hidden power is a color separate from Mafia, was partially replying to the "12 third parties" theory. Also the Mafia's having to seek it out and claim it, meaning the role's either a non-mason mafia, or not actually aligned with them. Meanwhile I doubt there's no third party, but I also doubt we're at 0 thirds beyond it, so therefore 3 non-town alignments minimum.
[X] Vote Zaealix
Oh, so you're assuming the Hidden Power is a role/faction? Gotcha.
When it's being dropped with a color while the GM is busy dropping alignment colors, I have to presume it's an alignment. I'd almost assume a president, but that's really bad game design.
If it is an alignment it would almost certainly have to be explicitly town or scum sided to such a degree it might as well be town if town sided, and scum-without-a-chat if scum sided. Scum sided doesn't make sense as it would be far too easy for them to attract scum attention and end the game in a day, so it would basically have to be town sided.
I'm not convinced but woudl be interested in joining to start an early wagon, but as far as I recall Zealix tended to respond to pressure pretty badly regardless of alignment so I'm not sure it'll be particularly fruitful. Keeping an eye on this for sure though.
I legitimately have no idea how to respond to an assertion that I'm sticking with a vote on someone I've never voted for, when my only vote thus far was fully labeled as a meme?
Do you mean to ask @ComiTurtle?
Ah yeah sorry, I have no idea how that mix-up happened. Entirely my bad. ^.^;
