Can someone give me the list of players in each quest last night?

I'm pretty sure I figured out how the quests work.
I still need this, BTW. Information is the greatest weapon. I can go back and see who signed up for each quest, but I don't know the ones the leader finally chose to take.

@Okosan if you could coo me the details of your expedition, that would be great.
And anyone on the 5 man group where Rez died. That seems like useful information to share with the class :maybe

Reznor
Law

Shiny

Priscilla, Santi, and Mohit are the 3 man squad.

I'd say 1-3 scum on the 5 man, and 2 or 3 on the 3 man team.
 
Wait, I could've sworn Okosan was on the 3 man group. He was cooing about how his smaller group didn't have that many choices compared to the larger groups.
What's going on here? :hmm
I messed up and went to the phase 1 notification thing. Priscilla picked a 3 man expedition at the wrong time and I thought it was for day 1's. The selection is still informative Imo/
 
I mostly want to see how he reacts.
But having the King up there deciding the lynch kind of messes with the prospect of pressure being applied, no mather how small it is.

And I legitimately want to see him pray to a specific God. For reasons.

Do you dear to oppose the wishes of the king?
[vote lynch dagabro]
 
For reasons that will bring harm upon me or something to do with you working out quest mechanics?
Quest mechanics, yes.
You are far smarter than you let on to believe :maybe
Hmmm do you suppose that each quest line has something to do with each god? BArbarians with the War guy, Dark tower/zombie stuff with the like girl, and Beast/Glade line with Melandru?

Me and Rem are both Melandru followers and were hurt by the Dark tower, and Dave apparently was able to ward the best off with a prayer to probably melandru??
Precisely.
Each quest seems tailored to a specific God. Day 1 you had a stealth mission, a fighting mission and a pacific mission. Tailored for each God.
This time we also have quest tailored for each God.
I believe we are meant to go on Quest that best fit our character/God. Just like a real RPG game :distracted
 
But Okosan's group went on the stealth mission and where saved by a follower of the Nature Goddess, apparently.

So there still are pieces missing of the puzzle.
I don't think the concept of stealth was the theme there, rather the beast itself which led directly to this glade quest. The dark tower is most likely the thing having to do with lyssandra given she is dark water god of illusion. Which is probably why followers of nature were warded off and sickened.
 
@Platinum How do you read Law, and WPK? What do you make of Darth's activity and Didi's absence? Also throw in a waffles read plz/.

I haven't played enough with Law since I came back to make a judgement. Darth is always going to be inactive regardless of role, and Didi is a little more nebulous. Didi really isn't much of a role ^ (not the meaning of the word "respect".), but I know he is rather busy irl, so hard to say one way or another.

WPK reads pretty town to me right now. Reading waffles is like reading tea leaves.

I am wondering at the immediate attempts to dethrone the king. Iwan is wrapping his furor up in a nice little 'oh my god i'm so gonna spite kill you' false righteousness for what he sees as a useless lynch... but Iwan was agitating immediately for a dethroning day 1, as was Mohit. Makes you wonder the motivations for such.

Didn't someone claim to be the king's brother in day 1? Regardless, I don't see anyway how, in a Shizune game, people realistically think we are going to get a fucking democracy in medevial times. Most likely, we will get a new king, and that new king can possibly be someone that isn't town aligned.

If we want to get rid of him, I would wait a bit for a few more bodies to come out to see if any of them hint at a possible conspirarcy.

[vote lynch Iwandesu]

Personally, I just think he's going a little overboard, especially after his whole 'oh, i'm so apathetic' schtick that he opened with. I doubt whatever he got was enough to flip the script overnight.

Hmm interesting. How did Law play before you left?

Some of the group dynamics in my quest line had me questioning certain things. Stelios seemed like he could possibly be a bit more informed than the rest of us and people seemed to be trying to get it to go with Iwan or Stel. Stel also seems to be charging into controlling missions. Given that Stel did defend Iwan last dayphase it was something of note to me, although I did kinda agree with Stel's assessment a bit that Iwan is a rolefag, but Stel also seemingly believes peasent claim so willy nilly. Hmmm.

This is the way I see it:
The Forlorn Tower - 10 man raid

The kingdom has been at the mercy of an underground crime syndicate for months. Our spies have finally tracked them to their hideout, where our priesthood warns of dark magic brewing within. The crown is seeking brave citizens to enter the tower and uncover the schemes within.

The Northwatch Garrison - 5 man dungeon

One of our kingdom's furthest-reaching outposts is being exploited by local brigands. These barbarians live savagely off the land, preferring hardship to the king's law. The stronghold's crucial supply line to the capital city has been cut off as merchants refuse to risk the journey. The crown is seeking able-bodied travelers to deliver emergency supplies to the Northwatch Garrison.

The Crime Scene - 3 man expedition

Last night a family was brutally murdered after their home was invaded by strange beast. The city guards have quarantined the neighborhood in an attempt to contain the beast, refusing to enter the area themselves. The crown is seeking a small team to enter the home and investigate before the animal claims another victim.

Day Two Quests

The Bandit Camp - 10 man raid


The emergency supplies to the Northwatch Garrison were intercepted by the mountain-dwelling barbarians, and @Shiny was taken captive! Rather than ceding the north lands and Shiny's life, we will will march northward to end the bandit threat once and for all. The crown is seeking a group of stealthy travelers to march alongside the royal army and extract Shiny safely from the battlefield.

The Labyrinth - 10 man raid

With the Forlorn Tower retaken, our most knowledgeable wizards and detectives were dispatched to scour the building for more information about the crime syndicate that once operated inside. We uncovered a hidden tunnel beneath the tower, although we didn't have long to explore it as the undead began pouring from underground like cockroaches! These zombies are are feeble and dim-witted, posing little threat to anyone willing to face them. The crown seeks the bravest among you to delve into the lair of the dead and uncover the truth beneath the tower.

The Enchanted Glade - 3 man expedition (followers of Melandru only)

After meeting the magical creature harassing our kingdom face to face, we still cannot identify its origin. With even the royal library's oldest tomes yielding no answers, we must turn toward the patron of all animal life Melandru. Deep within the woodland is a clearing considered sacred to the druids and alchemists who study her teachings. The crown seeks three of Melandru's favored to gather on this holy land to beg for her wisdom before the beast claims another victim.

I believe Nitty crafts the story according to who joins each quest.
Maybe if the 3-man beast quest was made by 3 Lyssa's followers we would have extracted the information needed and led onto a new quest to slay the beast. Maybe if 3 Balthazar's went, they would have slain the beast.

Nitty is actually DMing this as an actual table top RPG game :nice

I agree that Nitty crafts accordingly but I think you are looking at the wrong aspects of the flavor. It's not about who the crown is seeking. It's about who naturally has more affinity to each quest line. Being brave enough to fight a group of barbarians has to deal with the God of War/Battle. Going to investigate and face off with a weird creature has to do with Melandru, and having to go investigate a Dark tower who the wizards warn has dark magic has to do with Lyssandra. So Shiny is probably not a follower of the War God. Me and Rem are Melandru followers and are "white magic" lean gave us very adverse reactions to the dark magic of the tower, and things would have probably went very bad for the team facing the beast without a melandru follower.

Sp pending which quest line you choose, things can either go bad, well, or neutral. Which is why I am a death miller, and if Iwan is a melandru follower the gem could say corrupt him or something.

It's been years since I last played with Law, so I don't really remember (Well, I played with him in favs 7, but you know, that was Favs 7). The nuances of his town/scum reads are going to be lost on me for that reason.

That's interesting. It's possible that how one flips can be indicative of the other, but Stelios also likes to follow his own beats in mafia (in my limited experience), so its nebulous.

I do agree that Iwan is a bit of a rolefag, which makes his 0-100 attitude change quite interesting. Do you have any idea what he was awarded with?

A gem that emits an aura that is offsetting. Probably going to be some dark magic power given the "tomes" all around the tower, the curse it placed on Rem, Kira, and I, and the subsequent zombies.
 
Okay so how exactly do we wanna do this quest if we think they are made for certain people and certain gods?

Like I get this last quest becuase it says such.

Should we compare the 5 man group of last day and see what the difference is and why shiny was chosen as hostage?

And does anyone else think it might make shiny more or less town becuase she was picked? Or do we believe it’s legit Random?

How hard are those quests anyway? Can’t be harder than:


 
There is another thing i'm noticing. People really aren't voting this phase.

I went back to count the votes this phase to look for trends, and this is the current tally (unless i'm a fucking moron and missed a lot of people... which is possible):

Underworld Broker: Mohit
WPK: Smileyman
Remchu: MSAL
Degaforce: Katsuargi
Alwaysmind: Dega
Me: Iwan

6 people voting with the phase almost over in a 40 person game. I think who hasn't voted is almost more interesting than who has been voted for.

Pick the quest that best fits the theme of your god. Gonna benefit all alignments though.

Not really. It could have been a random pick, Shiny could have been the only one with the wrong god, or Shizune could have picked out of the few with the wrong god alignment. I mean it could be mafia fuckery but given what has gone on so far, it's probably much more likely to just be a quest mechanic.

But why would you lynch little ol me who is here to kill barbs :catmako
killing barbs isn't alignment indicative cuh.

Yeah, mafia is laying low because they don't really need to say too much with the king in charge, and have to bit their tongue later. Their best bet is to try and steer conversation to certain people to try and get a mislynch. They can easily just try and power up while putting in enough effort to not appear immediately scummy, which is why I think people who fell off today in activity are interesting.
 
Well Nitty could have picked the number 3 prior and randomized it, like I said could have happened with Shiny being taken. Now if Kira isn't a Melandru followe than yeah it goes out the window, but I think he also tried to sign up for my crew, so I'll take a look back at that.

3 out of 10, 1 out of 5. :hm
Guessing 3-man team to small for something interesting to happen.
Or maybe it's kinda like a difficulty thing.
10 man was high risk, high reward, 5 man was medium and 3 man was easy. :hm

Well this was part of my reasoning for guessing god related punishment/benefits. If Kira is a melandru follower then that is kinda of a big coincidence that we all fell ill to dark magic and were cursed.

The 3 man crew thing could have went seriously wrong if a melandru follower wasn't there to offer a prayer and ward the beast off.

The common denominator there is god alignment, which is why I think it would be interesting for Kira and shiny to claim theirs.

killing barbs isn't alignment indicative cuh.
Well I don’t see where we couldn’t figure that’s out tbh.

And ofc I wanna Kill barbs who wouldn’t. It’s like runescape all over again
 
... Melandru, the goddess of nature, earth, and growth. She can be found in every harvest and every flower. She smiles upon those, like me, who have an affinity with animals. I am a follower of Melandru.

... Balthazar, the god of war, fire, and challenge. Balthazar oversees the battle arena, and he gifts those who have a knack for combat strategy and skill with weapons. I have trained hard to honor Balthazar.

... Lyssa. Lyssa wears many masks. She is the dual-faced goddess of beauty, water, and illusion. She is the patron of the most attractive and graceful among us. Her blessings have touched me all my life.
 
It meant we could still figure out if it’s becuase of our gods or not. I don’t see why we would leave it up to guessing

And what does me wanting to fight barbs have to do with my alignment hahaha of course I’m Town.
Yeah I'm not following your responses to my statement of picking the most tailored quest. Melandru = Nature, Druids, Medicine, Alchemist, etc. Lyssa = Mystic, grace, illusion, Magic, etc. War dude = fighting, savagery, etc.

Because you deflected a question with the "I want to fight barbarian stuff". Something to note.
 
I mean If my jewel Was stolen i can only assume There Was confirmed mafia among our members

What's the verdict? Was your jewel taken? Did it do anything?

Okay so how exactly do we wanna do this quest if we think they are made for certain people and certain gods?

I didn't realize Lyssa followers should stick to stealthy, investigative missions.

But now it looks like I'm definitely on the right quest.

[Vote Lynch jjcb]

I did not buy the bit about how he thought Iwan was talking about dethroning the King alone. I think he pretty much confirmed there that he did not have the same PM as Iwan.

No Iwan was just being impatient/Nitty had work. She just gave it to him a bit ago after rng'ing it between he and stelios.

JJCB is being pretty meh as of now, but Peasents being able to overthrow the king has nothing to do with our PM's. It only says so in the OP, which I could totally see JJCB skipping.

You seem really concerned about his treasure m8. Let's jump him for it later.
 
the only person who wouldn't want him overthrown at this point would be his retainers who are basically a third party group i saw some people posting about this
The king made one mistake,I dont see reason to overthrow him yet
D1 lynch wouldve probably been townie anyways
it would have but that lynch would have given us more info reads wise instead of this bullshit lynch in which the king just screwed us over and said i m better then you :drake
also who the fuck said retainers were town their win con is different ? also you not noticing that makes me think you are also one of the retainers
I mean If my jewel Was stolen i can only assume There Was confirmed mafia among our members
so was it something taht you won in the quest ??? or like i read it was given to you by mass decision ???
It means the quests might be a bastard mechanic where @Shizune is going to CR my jewel:catcry
lol i never my super got dragon ball either
All those inactive ^ (not the meaning of the word "respect".) coasting.
All those useless Nobles.
Damn im so salty the king went yolo and lynched Revan.
Like fuck you.
Im going to spite you next time .
i m just gonna say this again we should dethrow him
In general, all the talk about supporting the overthrowing of the king on D1 and some now on D2 is rather scummy, specifically those by Mohit who only talked about it and the expeditions on D1 and Dr.White who jumped on MSAL for saying that keeping the king around is worthwhile. N
its not scummy at all i don't believe in his skill anymore after what happened last night even if he by some miracle he finds raven reborn scummy he shouldn't have based lynch on his reads alone he could have waited and should have gone with town like we recommend him
Now, after the king went rogue with his D1 lynch, it's within bounds to say that if he goes rogue and is wrong again then dethroning should be a serious option.
AGAIN i m not giving him another chance we have already seen him competency to rule and make judgement on day 1
The King offers two definite benefits for keeping him in power :

1. Prevents us from potentially mislynching the King.
2. Keeps the mafia on their toes as they have less control on who gets lynched.
1)no it doesn't cause king would also be uninformed of who is town and who isn't
2) it does the exact opposite they could also be "like i dont need to give much thought here since he would get lynched anyway king will pick him choice at the end of the day " that can totally throw our reads in the loop the reads only when we try to figure out ulterior motives behind their post insted of just reading them as it is so no having a king who doesn't listen isn't good for town
Then there are any possible other abilities that he might have that could give him an edge. There might also be penalties to ousting him that we shouldn't risk if we don't have to. So long as the King mostly follows majority rule/has a good scumdar then keeping him in power is by far the best move
i dont think there will be any its not specified anywhere. dethroning him will only set our lynches more power and more meaning behind it
Yeah it makes no sense to remove the King after one day...
no we talked about it on day 1 alredy the only cenario in which i see him stay in power is if he follows town
 
I thought the masks, and the graceful alludes to uh thieves.
Potentially assassins too but that's a stretch.

Iono

I'm not a nitty.
I mean that's possible but I read it as her having many temperments or representations. She is dual faced, graceful, but also seems to have a mystical and ambiguous quality to her, which is why I thought the dark magic aligns more to her than others.
 
They could share that aspect though. Even being a female god somewhat a nurturing thing.
In Mysticism etc, there is the "Water of Life."
The Water of Life (Christianity), referred to in the Book of Revelation 22:1. The Water of Life (German fairy tale), a German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm (1823) ... The Bold Knight, the Apples of Youth, and the Water of Life, Russian fairy tale (1862)


Rivers being the life blood of major cities.

speculation.

Nah, if you haven't noticed, each god is based on Guild Wars entities. Here is an excerpt about LYssa
"From out of the darkness, there stepped a child into the campfire's light. And she said, "I am Lyssa, and I have come to teach you what is illusion and what is truth."

But the soldiers there did not believe her. They laughed and said, "If you're Lyssa, then show us your beauty, for we can surely use it on this dark night. We have lost hope that this war will end."

The child approached, and her smile held divine grace. "Share your food with me, and in return for your kindness, I will show you beauty the likes of you will never see again."

And so the kind soldiers did, and the child ate with ravenous hunger. When the last bone had been tossed aside, and the last bean swallowed, the child began to skip around the outside of the campfire.

She touched each man on his head, one at a time, as they laughed and jibed her until, one at a time, they fell into a deep slumber."

Each man dreamed a different dream, but each dream was a vision of the life they would lead once the war was over—wives, children, riches, open air, health, and peace.

And when they awoke upon the morrow, the child was gone and the enemy had arrived. They fought joyfully, with all their might, because they all remembered their dreams and knew they would win the war.

Each man put his heart and soul into the battle, and each man, one at a time, was slaughtered"

She is considered by most to be the paragon of all beauty and many young men have glanced at her statues only to be entranced and die of thirst days later. She is also considered to be related to chaos and non-specific elemental energy; she was only openly tied to water after the death of Abaddon in 1075 AE.

More than one person mentioned seeing it in their PM.

I'm down. Let's make him apathetic again.

I'm with those who think the druidic nature will be the healing factor in this game. Followers of Lyssa will focus on smoke and mirror type stuff. Potentially some wizardry as well. Not likely clerical.
