Rules & Night-talk 4 Solstice Saskwidge

[Sjoerd3000]

So any gawpers around?

Quick update on the gameplay for this which will mean that we can play with 2 killing roles and 3 pro-monks roles and at a slower pace so that we'll not be too stymied with people not being about at first...

This is how it pans out

We have a passive killer and a passive good guy (who won't know who he is) who will only be able to win the game by surviving the other. This is an adaptation of a paired game known as Lynchee and Lyncher

Our Lyncher is of course the Auditors Mr. Khaki AND Mr. Beige (and possibly Mr. Grey as well) I think as the monks are definitely going to be knee-deep in the mucky stuff...
and our Lynchee will be the Abbot who has had gone into hiding with his bikkits and his lephant so hopefully Mr. Khaki won't be able to find him. If he does then the Auditors have won the game

the mealy-mouthed god Nuggan will be the active killer in this game but, because he's such a poisonous little wuss his night kills will not be effective until the following night phase (yes this means that someone's Hogswatch dins-dins will have been poisoned and they'll not pop their clogs until after Boxing Day). The Lyncher/Auditors may consult with him as to the victims but he has final veto

and our two heroes are as usual a Doctor (protector) and a Detective
up against the dodgy god will be the Time Lord - Lobsang will assume the role of a Guardian Angel whose protection influence will last for 2 nights (this isn't necessarily a good thing although it does balance out Nuggan's poison )

and that leaves our 'Seer' The Sweeper who's not afraid to play dirty and will steal the power or ability of whoever he investigates

Other than that it's business as usual - no vigilantes or surprise kill capabilities this time and the 3rd good guy the Abbot won't know who they are until they're either lynched or the Auditors are outed/thwarted

er....yes... right!

[Bjornagain]

Hmmm - this looks interesting. Is that deja-flu or deja-fu?

OK - I'm in to make up the numbers although if anyone else comes in late and wants to play as well then they can have my spot

[jaeger]

Am I to late to be a 'player' . . . or am I condemned to be a gawper ???

[Jan Van Quirm]

No worries - you can take part! Bjornagain (my pseudonym ) will drop out in your favour

[jaeger]

Ooooh a pfsssudoe nominom wish I had one 'O' thems

Hope Ican keep me end up . . . whatever that may be . . . Be nice to make the next day

Thanks JVQ

[Jan Van Quirm]

The gameplay in this one's going to be a slow burn away from the lynches as the killer can only strike every other day so no one will be Nuggan killed until Night 2.

No vigilantes this time but there's an Auditor hiding out amongst the monks...

[jaeger]

Yeah well them religious types is always a bit sus . . . get a zelot among 'em (audit time) and you start to get lots of essessssssss . . . . . .WE never trussssstsssss 'em

[MrsWizzard]

[Jan Van Quirm]

Nope - not too late! I haven't even done the secret roles yet (the mince pies are doing beautifully however)

PMs going out soon kiddies - before Narnia starts anyhooo!

[MrsWizzard]

Poor Meerkat, off'd before she could even vote. That won't be a very pleasant Hogswatch morning should she stroll around here tomorrow

[meerkat]

WHAT? I'm a good girl. When'd I get voted off?! There I was on Radio Four last night being a good girl and I gets voted off!

FOUL REF!!!!!

[jaeger]

That's a bit harsh Meer, calling the Ref foul

Stiched up like a kipper you was . . .

[Kin Arad]

I'm sorry Meer (here's some sad dramatic violin music)
