and Charlou's smiley restriction thing on D1?

while the main seer (zig) lived, charlou couldn't post in words, except for a vote. the posting restriction would be lifted if she were recruited or zigmen died. both happened on he same night.

she knew she was backup seer at the beginning of the game, and knew the posting restriction would be lifted if she were activated.

Great game Oblivion, even though I only lasted 24 hours.

What was Callan's restriction on day 3?

[charlou]

I haven't had to tell a single lie in this game.

[mononoke]

So callan killed me.

Higgs & callan played really well, so did MZ. I was surprised people didn't lynch gib on day 3. His change in behavior was a definite tell. I was going to go after him for that, but go killed before i had the chance

It was a bit of a fuckup.

If MZ's protections were needed, the player he protected would be able to make posts of up to 8 words long. If he actually saved a player twice, another (random) player would die in their stead. When I saw Callan's first posts in the day 5 game I freaked and checked my sent PMs. I'd never actually sent the PM. So, I sent her a note at that point and let her know. She wouldn't be able to volunteer about the posting restriction, but if someone commented, she could explain.

MZ didn't know exactly how it would work. I got a kick out of it when he revealed that he thought he was indirectly responsible for Feck's death.

Would the cult like to share their whiteboard?

I guess that fits with ani saying that his role indicates there is recruitment going on. I wonder what his role is, it sounds bad for us.

[oblivion]

oblivion, please explain Mantis' role ... and why Denny was immune to recruitment?

missed the bit about denny. roustabouts weren't recruitable. I was originally going to include 3 roustabouts, but decided to use the twins as a mason/lover combo role instead.

MZ was Ben Hawkins and doc, and Callan was Samson, the vig. If you saw the episodes "Babylon" and "Pick a Number", you'd know why Samson was vig, and why the weapon was a colt 45. Among other things, Samson was the dealer of carnie justice.

One thing that absolutely amazed me when I did the random roll for this game was who wound up with some of the key roles. It really set the tone for the game, having charlou be the one with the posting restriction, higgs2 be the SK, MZ be the modified doc, Irre be the cult leader, and Ani/mono be the masons.

It would have been a hoot to see MZ or Ani try to deal with that posting restriction, though.
