Acolytes game 2: Day 3

[Ben]

japan is so weird.

I love it

Enjoy that being at the top of the page.

 

[Jon]

Well like I'm no 9 or 10, but probably still >4. So if that's not decent I dunno what is

I mean you're like one of the top 9 or 10 Canadians I know.

 

[canadaguy]

Yeah but there's not that many of us

Damn. How many Canadians do you know? All of them?

I know... 3? They're all members here.

Though I guess I know of that guy in New Brunswick who I stole his fiancée from...

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

I'm related to way too many Canadians. CG rates more highly than all of them.

For a large country you all made the same joke. lol

 

[Ben]

Original jokes are expensive. Because of tariffs.

 

[Ben]

Back to Japan being weird.

Mine wasn't a joke though. My Canadian relatives are the Canadians who support Trump wholeheartedly.

 

[Ants!]

Guessing this aint getting resolved tonight so I'll see yall in the morning.

 

[Ben]

I mean, skip I guess, but I didn't assume the bad dudes were gonna make it that easy.

 

[Ben]

Need an item that skips for everyone.

Dandadan is a lot of fun. It's ridiculous nonsense and its a total blast.

Also, @A Maybe Baker I confirmed with Ants that we need to make sure to enable our Loud Voice potions. It's not automatic. Don't need to make the usage public, though.

You aren't both using one, right? I thought only you were from what Jawneh gave you. We need 3 votes on Tommy for this to last any longer, I believe.

Probably makes sense to save one just in case anyway.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I haven't used it yet.

You should put your vote back on CG.

FR should definitely use his loud voice potion, and I'll leave it up in the air on if I am or not so the acolytes need to guess if they're able to force a tie or not.

Bulletin board updated finally.

 

[canadaguy]

Bounties should have to be placed in escrow when posted

 

[Jawneh]

Welp, I guess we have to try to force this. It sounds more amusing than a kingmaker.

 

[Ants!]

To reiterate what FR said earlier, if you expect to use a Loud Voice potion you have to explicitly state you're using it, either publicly or privately.

 

[Jon]

Welp, I guess we have to try to force this. It sounds more amusing than a kingmaker.

I have come to the realization and expectation that the clear majority of these games end in some level of a kingmaker scenario (when they don't it's usually a blowout in one direction or the other) and that complaining about kingmaker scenarios is useless in a game that has it happen more often than not with no real way to avoid it.

 

[Ants!]

If you guys did formally state somewhere in the thread that you're using a potion and I've missed it, let me know. Trying not to make another mistake

DMs do not make mistakes.

@Jawneh why you voting for Zell

 

[Ben]

@Jawneh why you voting for Zell

Because he's bad.

Jawneh, that is.

They could, unless someone like me wants to wrangle it into something else potentially.

But as things stand, acolyte hunted, Zell wont kill anyone tonight, acolytes get one kill, another acolyte hunted tomorrow, zell kills jon, acolytes hunt one more. We're down to 1v1v1. And I don't want that.

You seem fairly certain of acolytes being hunted today and tomorrow with no issue.

Psh, unless I roll the secret procession again

 

[Jawneh]

The numbers going down will show who is who. That's not including quest events to find out roles. I found out Fool's day 1 during mine.

Aaaaaants! Jon is playing with loaded dice again!

There are roles and items that prevent lunches. You being on Zell right now is very sus since it could force a tie for second, and second will likely be where the lynched player comes from.

 

[canadaguy]

Fuck anyone that prevents lunch

 

[Jon]

Aaaaaants! Jon is playing with loaded dice again!

Technically, they are HIS dice.

 

[canadaguy]

 

[Jawneh]

From what I gathered, there's none of those roles in our game. We already know the rest of the acolytes too. Items, yes. Those do exist and remain a wildcard. It's all still heading into kingmaker.

Technically, they are HIS dice.

Then don't have him roll them!

 

[Ben]

We already know the rest of the acolytes too.

Yes, I'm sure you've known what all the Acolyte roles are from the first night.

 

[Ants!]

8 minutes left.

 

[Ben]

The fuck? CG is literally one of these roles. He's why we can't have a tie for second.

 

[Ben]

The fuck? CG is literally one of these roles. He's why we can't have a tie for second.

We already assumed that at least one of the Acolytes was in the group voting for canadaguy, and that they'd jump off at the last moment to try to wonk the vote and push it the way they want to. Jawneh's just the one to show his ass.

There's no reason for him to have moved off otherwise.

If Tommy shows up at the last minute and moves his vote then no kill happens but we've basically got confirmation that he's also a bad.

 

[Jon]

Then don't have him roll them!

Listen, he's the GM. I can't go against him.

You should bring it up to HR thought.

 

[Jawneh]

Dont make me call Crystal here!

The sun sets blood-red over the village square.


After hours of shouting, bargaining, and last-minute trades, the final accusations are carved into the ledger of the day. The air is thick with distrust. Fingers pointed. Loud Voice potions surged through more than one throat — amplifying words, but not clarity.


Zell, blade always at his side, stood unblinking in the center of it all — known assassin, tolerated only because his dagger might yet strike true in the night.


But it was canadaguy, the fanatic, who drew the final vote.


He said nothing as the noose was fitted. Not a word to explain, not a plea for mercy. No last-minute frenzy to redirect the mob, though everyone knew he had the power to.


Was it restraint? A bluff? Or had he already used his ability?


No one knows.


The gallows creaked.
The rope pulled taut.
Canadaguy is dead — executed by witch hunt.


The day ends. The village holds its breath.








Will probably be a short night phase. Get your night actions in, including shop purchases, then send me a skip when you're done (even if you're not doing anything).
