No, I don't really want anyone to answer that, but it's something to ponder as we're passing items. I'm wondering whether someone could make better use of mine than me.

If an item compliments a given role, then I would certainly look to give it to that role. Also, it might be worth trying to funnel our items through people that are capable of gaining knowledge like the seer and follower roles to let them give it to the people that have been cleared (at least temporarily). This would be better done earlier rather than later since there is the risk of corruption.

I highly suggest passing items to "specific roles" and doing it earlier as well. I assume some of these items may keep people incorruptible or give them another benefit so I think J23 is likely right above.

Now hold on here. I'm not sure we should be throwing all of our eggs into just a couple of baskets. If we for instance pass all of our items to the detective what happens to those items if the detective is killed?

I think it makes sense to send objects to the person who would be able to make the best use out of them, based on what limited knowledge you have of the object.

And that is my point. I would send my item to a good guy role that I think can use it.

Those saying "what if that person gets converted," the same thing applies if you still have it, what if you get converted? My thoughts are that the objects *likely* give the person that they belong to an advantage against conversion, death, etc. For instance, if there was a plate of milk and cookies and Santa was a role, they would go together. Maybe he eats the cookies, drinks the milk, says "ho, ho, ho" and wards off some baddies. But for me, those would just be milk and cookies. It's an obvious connection. IF your item has an obvious partner and you aren't sending it to them, then that is a problem.

I would say the reverse is true too. If your item does not have an obvious partner the best play is to keep it yourself. I would not send flowers to Santa. Reindeer food...I probably would unless Rudolph was in the game.

Correct dubb, whole-heartedly. Something like that, with no obvious partner, I would hold on to because it may help you OR maybe it'll have a use revealed later.

We really don't know what the Red Death minions can do yet. They perhaps have abilities equal to the light bringers. And remember that people gain more evil abilities and lose other ones as they get currupted.

From the rules

Quote:
Adept – You are able to, once per night, cast an Auramancy spell that will tell you if someone is a Servant of the Red Death. However, it has been shown in the past that many Servants do not show up as evil, so this is not a guaranteed way. Each time you choose to cast the Auramancy spell, there is a very small but very real chance that the magic will corrupt you, since all magic comes from the Red Death.

This makes me think we are going to have more than 1 cunning.

Hmmmm it meant to me that the adept's scan works on a certain percentage and does not work on the other. Like 50% accuracy like the fool.

I read it as much better than the fool. The fool is basically useless because of false positives. This just gives false negatives, meaning that if you come up scanning wolf, you know it is a wolf at least. It just means you can't trust the negative scans as much.

Yeah I wasn't sure which way to take it. Either way I feel a little daunted by this.. along with the possibility for conversions, it's going to make for a tough game.

After some pm conversations, I have decided to clarify a previous statement in the thread. Listen very carefully.

After Night Four, there is no night action that can result in a conversion.

That is all I can say about that. Interpret it however you will.

Hmm, sounds to me like there may be some daytime actions ...

For the record (on something that likely can not be validated or refuted) I was not one of the people peppering Abe with questions about the rules by PM. I have not had much time to do more than read the thread up to this point. Kudos to those more engaged than I've been so far.

Perhaps. I was thinking " there is NO night action..." meaning both good and bad guys cannot convert guys to their side.
Don't know but he's trying to be vague on purpose to not give EVERYTHING about the game away. and yay for that.

Vote Danny

Eaglefan was a close second for his cunning comment in a game where I think there are multiple cunnings. On day 1 I expect the wolves the let the action play out and not put themselves in the limelight. It is a pretty solid play actually since most of the time D1 votes turn out to be good guys and the next few days revolve around who pushed for the good guy vote. Danny is a guy who really hasn't pushed anything out there today and that is out of the ordinary for him.

I should have a few minutes tonight to review the thread pre-deadline, but probably won't be around right at the deadline.

I deliberated between two right now:
Jackal - voted for NTN for being first to cast vote #2 on someone. I hate that argument; I don't think it holds water at this point and probably never did, statistically.

EF - NTN unvoted him for reasons that really "read" as half-hearted to me. Especially peculiar given that EF was only person ahead of NTN in votes at time.

I had another reason too, which was really the more meaningful of the two, that being that he is often UTR and around late without leaving many posts to tip his hand.

You know, there is so little to go on Day Ones, but you grasp at what straws you can. This reads to me less like a question from a villager with an item, and more like someone suggesting he has a night action.

Now, that might be a good guy, but my gut says it could actually be one of the Servants who can't PM (check the rules; possible for this game), possibly trying to put it out there to other Servants that he is one of them. It's unclear from the rules if a Servant who can't PM is even known to the other Servants.

Very slim, yes. But I have to vote soon, as I will soon be leaving work for the night.

If PB is right that votes spread after a conflict between those two I find the voting pattern against EF slightly worse. I do not buy CR's theory.
