My character role is goofy old guy who is obsessed with grail lore and running from nazis. Since I could only equate voting against the talking animals with nazi behavior, that's what I went with.

We're on day 1, so there's no real reason to vote for anyone at this point.



Note - It's lunch time here, so it will be a while before I reply to anyone.

Wait, you mean to say you're not?! Huh, come to think of it, I've known you for some 6 years now, indeed. Fuck, I feel old.

And I am also interested in hearing dedoporno's answer to that question as well!

Hogwarts.

It started as just an RVS vote on a player who hadn't been voted yet but without explanation to see how people reacted to it. Then I noticed I had misread the voting chart and Dedo had already been voted (he just hasn't voted anyone else). Thought about changing it and thought, why not just leave it. Dedo is a strong player hard to read, only 2 in the game I find harder (last I played). And by placing a 2nd vote, maybe it will kickstart the game a bit. Plus, I can see who finds a 2nd vote curious. Not sure what to make of it that only Dedo initially protested. Hard to read because scum might cry foul just as much as an innocent townie might.

But given how Dedo hasn't voted anyone yet, and GoG traditionally seems to expect one to vote someone randomly to start, maybe the makes him 2-vote worthy.

But in all truth, with the very little we have so far, I have nothing on Dedo. So it's not a serious vote. If a train developed based on just what we know so far, without a far better reason, I'd remove it.

Iirc, nazis had better animal protections than most others at the time.

Enjoy! Now I'm hungry too.

He didn't have to answer. None of us has to do anything we could all just watch the time tick away I guess.



So.... which of us was the one you referred to here:

Wowee, that's really fast. More of a chatroom game than a forum game. :P

Joe just got back from the Mafia Universe championships and we thought the 72-hour days there were fast.

Totally inaccurate! Cadaver would be digging a separate hole with a teaspoon.

I see.

Oh I see! We have night actions here too, but the colours thing sounds interesting. Maybe it's something we should try here in a future game?

This is the 4th Trouble game by the way. Before this, it has struck GOGVille, Happy Hills High and an Arstotzkan boot camp.

...

So tough without meta.

I had a small gotcha moment.

...

nah. I it escaped me now.

...

Frostborn, question: What did you misread?

Oh, a tetralogy! It's outgrown the Asylum Trilogy of games.

How did you it escape you?? Get it back.

Thanks, I'll take it.

For the record - I don't like RVS votes so I don't normally do it.


I'd rather hear the person who I asked a question respond to it before I (or someone else for that matter) do it for them. Sorry not sorry.

My time zone is Pacific (GMT-8) and if I'm in a game that includes at least one player in Europe, there really needs to be a 24-hour day/night cycle at the absolute minimum. The 6-8 hour cycle resulted in more than a few instances of people either not voting or not participating in night actions because of work or sleep. It's why I only played a total of three games.


You seriously are overthinking this. All I did was:
1. look at everyone's roles
2. saw that two roles were talking animals
3. saw that two people voted against said talking animals fairly quickly
4. flipped a coin to decide which I should vote for

That's all there was to this.

I really, really, really just wanted an excuse to flip a coin as Prof. Jones inventory for the entire duration of the game really is just a handful of coins.

The comment about how either of you could be acting like peasants shouting at Sir Bedevere was a reference to the witch scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2xlQaimsGg I'm obliged to make grail references at every opportunity.


An interesting fact about the game my character role is from is that when it comes to deciding which grail to pick as the true one, all the clues you need really are in the grail diary that came in the game box (or the PDF file for the GOG version.) You really can skip the parts of the game that would give you in-game clues. Stuff like this (along with the Civilization tech tree maps) is about the only thing that I actually miss with physical copies of games that came in boxes.

The flavor above the player list. Speaking of which, it appears all scum have PRs based on it's wording.

Can you clarify?


Your first post you read the flavour differently and though there were many roles? Then by your second post, which followed quickly as I remember since, I was online, you no longer thought that's the case.

Which part of thd flavour did you misrrad that caused this shift in opinion?

what is it you think I'm thinking? :)

I'm sorry have you ever met a cat? You take your eyes off them for one second and they paw a precariously placed vase onto your head, next thing you know you're in my office with nothing to show for your life but a trip on the Excelsior Line.


I would think that it would have to be a quite PR heavy game for all the scum to have PRs. The flavor also does make sure to use "some" quite liberally. Not saying that we shouldn't be prepared for the possibility of what you are stating, but I wouldnt be surpised if at least one of the scum is your everyday goon.
