my hot prediction for this game is that it’s going to be boring but stable
it’ll likely be a pleasant time for everybody involved but not exactly hot spectating like, let’s face it, Saintgeon was.
Minions wanna use Barber to swap Gorta and Apprentice because they think they can get the tree Saint executed LUL
Saintree would be extremely entertaining but it probably fails since app claims he was originally Saint
if the original saint was like
anybody below Apprentice in terms of charisma
i could see it working
apprentice is just like
too convincing of a player
and in a good enough threadstate
that trying to get Saintree isn’t going to work
however
not being able to lumberjack is going to drive the villagers insane
i think the play is somewhat worth it even then, as a consequence. Villagers not having a realistic way of killing gorta is going to put them in a tight spot where they can’t just… narrow down the PoE by doing the covnentional play there. plus, the longer he’s alive for, the more likely it is the villagers lose their senses and kill him anyway.
Also I can see potential tinfoils where “gorta and app are both Evil and claiming barber swapped to look good”
The odds of them swapping Barber back into play rise exponentially if they realize that Barber can be used to give Assassin a second stab. Of course, Storytellers will never offer this knowledge unprompted, but if one of them is curious enough to ask, we of course answer their question honestly.
@Amelia As there is a nonzero chance of me not being on in time for EoD (actually a pretty decent chance, unfortunately), I went ahead and prepared the execution flavor… Well, actually, two possible execution flavors. I sincerely doubt that anyone other than Eli or Marl gets executed today, so just post whichever one is appropriate for the results of the day’s voting.
If Eli is executed
Tan finished counting the day’s votes. “Well, folks, looks like Eli’s the man of the hour.”
Eli sighed deeply. “And here, I hoped the party could last just a little longer.”
“No need to be so down, Eli, we’re gonna send you off in style!” Tan raised her glass. “A toast!”
Eli raised his glass as well, but as he did so, the floor creaked, his only warning before two floorboards under his feet gave way and he dropped feet-first into a narrow gap in the floor. Before anyone could respond, the gap erupted in a gout of flame.
Tan cackled maniacally as Eli’s ghost drifted up from beneath the floor.
“It’s not that funny, Tan.”
“Of course it is. You uncultured rabble just don’t appreciate irony.”
Eli has been executed, and Day 1 ends. Please submit actions for Night 2, if you have any.
If Marl is executed
Tan finished counting the day’s votes. “Well, folks, looks like Marl’s the man of the hour.”
Marl sighed deeply. “And here, I hoped the party could last just a little longer.”
“No need to be so down, Marl, we’re gonna send you off in style!” Tan raised her glass. “A toast!”
Marl raised his glass as well, but as he did so, the floor creaked, his only warning before two floorboards under his feet gave way and he dropped feet-first into a narrow gap in the floor. Before anyone could respond, the gap erupted in a gout of flame.
Tan smiled. “I do love my irony.” But to her surprise, a hand emerged from the now-scorched gap in the floorboards as Marl climbed back out into the tavern, his clothes and hair visibly singed, but otherwise in perfect health.
“That all you got?” Marl coughed up a tiny cloud of ash and smiled.
Tan raised an eyebrow. “Well done…” She then began laughing uncontrollably.
“It wasn’t that funny, Tan.”
“Of course it was. You uncultured rabble just don’t appreciate wordplay.”
Marl has been executed… but survives! Day 1 ends. Please submit actions for Night 2, if you have any.

Okay, so I was in fact able to log on again before EoD to process all currently logged votes. Still not going to be on at EoD, though. Sadge. But it’s at least nice to see that they didn’t CFD and now I have to write another execution flavor… Eh, I’d probably just tell you to swap out Eli’s name for whoever gets executed if they did that.
Anyhow, I will see you… sometime this afternoon, and night actions will start getting processed. Cheers.
