Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
Mass action randomizing? But that'd probably lead to a death, so I guess not. Mass role block sounds possible, but perhaps too overpowered for a game? Not to mention that nothing would really get accomplished. No new information for inspectors or roles of that sort.

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
Mass roleblock would have the same effect as party pooper, wouldn't it? In that case, no, it wouldn't be too overpowered for a game.
The flavour text suggests that a party host used their action last night, but why would they do that? I would like to hear from them if they did happen to use their action, though; since that's a one-use power, they'd essentially be vanilla now, so I don't really see a problem with them claiming. If that's what happened, though, I wonder if it would affect inforoles.
(okay, the forum keeps posting my message in the wrong place...let's see if it works now)

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
Can't be a mass roleblock or randomization because my night action hit who I targeted (unless Tailsy just decided to include the name of who I targeted without indicating that may not have been who it hit*).
I don't know how to explain it otherwise. Maybe all the non-info roles were shuffled? Or maybe it was one of those end-the-night-early roles where they can choose when to end the night, and they just decided to end the night early (by getting everyone drunk HURR HURR) after the info roles got their info but before killing roles got to kill?
*When I'm GMing and have a night action shuffle and have to send info back to people and don't want to indicate who it was shuffled to, I like to say something like, for example for an inspector, "Your target is not mafia" or something.

I can say without a doubt that the party host did not party last night!

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
I did get some information last night, but it's not particularly useful and poking around would probably lead to unnecessary roleclaims. I'll say one person targeted Bachuru, but again, since she's not dead or anything I don't see the value of mentioning this person.

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
...when I first read the flavour text I didn't assume it was indicating there'd been an actual party. I thought it was just, y'know, charming narrative! :(
Oh well, I guess this is Cruel "flavour text is likely to be important!" Mode mafia. But if the party host, whoever that is, didn't party, then...
Well, have we any new information from our inspector claim? Wargle?

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
Here's a new theory: the Mafia's hit got delayed, so no one died. Like I said, I targeted Flower Doll last night. If they're the don, then their hit did not go through, so no one died. (I thought the party was unimportant flavor.) The way to know for sure would be to wait and see if there are two deaths tomorrow, but hey, I'm impatient. I'm voting Flower Doll.

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
Maybe there's more than one, assuming it's a one-off power, otherwise that'd be quite broken. Meaning that I guess newt is the other mass-roleblocker and still has their shot. Still does seem like an unusual role to have more than one of though.
...then again Tailsy only said "flavour text is likely to be important". That doesn't necessarily translate as "take all flavour text 100% literally".
Well that's confusing.

Re: Cruel Mode Mafia [DAY 2]
@ole_schooler: another way to find out is to target Midnight tonight and see if Flower Doll really did heal her. My own night action obviously went through, but it seems like many people were roleblocked tonight. Unless your role PM flavour text says something about a party, I think we can rule out your theory.
