๐Ÿ”ฎ With the very last bits of their energy they can muster, the Teller takes to the stars one final time ๐Ÿ”ฎ

๐ŸŒ 

โ™ˆ Aries โ™ˆ
"Sure, your sign might be considered a little unfiltered, bold and daring even; prone to being bored, one could say. But this also allows you to reach new heights other signs rarely ascend to. This week the Virgo moon will be in descent and Jupiter will be in retrograde, meaning it's high time for you to set out on a new venture. Yet, with the waning sun and rising tides also comes the warning not to overreach. Fate is a zero-sum game, and not one you can always win."

โ™‰Taurus โ™‰
"Despite your penchant for resting, over long enough periods of time, this might cause rusting. Your all-or-nothing demeanour makes it hard for you to change or to pivot at the exact moment you need. This week you will be once again presented with an opportunity and the stars have aligned for you to reach out. Though it might go against your nature, it might be your destiny."

โ™ŠGemini โ™Š
"You're charismatic and good with words, both written and in conversation. But your charm has a washing-machine type of effect; others believe you, no matter what you say, and consequently, you start believing it too. In the short term, that works wonders for you. In the long-term, you might find yourself cornered by a lack of good advice, and people around you to balance out your persona. This week, the stars will provide you with an opportunity in disguise to make a change in this. That person who argues against you might actually be looking out for you. For a change, it might be best to let someone else do the talking, and despite all odds, that might enrich your life greatly"

โ™‹ Cancer โ™‹
"You're a sensitive person who seeks both provide and give comfort. You forgive but don't forget, you set boundaries that are vigilantly guarded and maintained but are willing to take on the problems of others outside of that. You might find that this week requires you to shift the window a little, when a new but unknown problem shows up on the horizon. Though people tend to lose perspective when they face the unknown, the stars can do one better than disorient you, and instead, help you make acquaintance with a whole new worldview. Be open-minded this week, and see where it takes you."

๐ŸŒ 

โ™Œ Leo โ™Œ
"Despite being a little vain, you exude warmth and creativity. Your larger-than-life persona makes you stand out and you like this accompanying a certain degree of luxury. And much like the King of Beasts, you hold back little energy when dealing with problems, both big and small. This week you will be asked to practice restraint and proportionality. Even the Lion needs rest."

โ™ Virgo โ™
"The Virgo sign is a compassionate one. You feel the need to be useful to others, no matter what. It helps that usually you are in fact the kind of person who can produce useful solutions. You have a million ideas per second that are produced by a rich tapestry of experience. Your quick thinking makes it so you can find quick fixes to whatever situation. This however does not mean there always is a solution, and you need to make peace with that. This week, try figuring out yourself, too."

โ™Ž Libra โ™Ž
"You hate being alone, but you also hate conflict. You see every side which makes it so you have trouble making decisions. But this week is not the time to get lost in fantasy and lose yourself to eventualities that might never occur. It is time to stand your ground and figure out how to break your current dead-lock. This week, you will have to decide. When you decide, go deeper than trying to understand both sides and instead try to figure out why you feel the need to mediate."

โ™ Scorpio โ™
"No sign takes betrayal worse than you do. And this week, you will be indeed faced with betrayal. Not necessarily someone you're close to, but someone you look up to - deem better than yourself - will disappoint you. While revenge is a dish best served callously, this week, it will be important for you to choose your battles, and bide your time. You don't know how much poison you will be needing going forward, and who to use it on, if you take out everything in sight."

๐ŸŒ 

โ™ Sagittarius โ™
"You have no indoor voice and form opinions almost exclusively based on how you feel in the moment. Simultaneously, you are driven by self-improvement to the point of it being a fault. Truth is a weapon you use to dish out blunt trauma to all around you, even those who didn't deserve it, much less those who can defend themselves from it. This week you will be faced with a conundrum that requires a bit more emotional intelligence than you usually care to apply. Not for lack of possession of it, however. So tap into this richer side of yourself, and learn to furnish your weapon with this pageantry."

โ™‘ Capricorn โ™‘
"You're responsible and motivated by duty. Oriented around success, you might be a little hard to approach. Others think it, but you know it. While it may be comfortable keeping up these defences, the stars have a chance meeting for you planned this week that requires you to let down the draw bridge. It's good being an adult, but it's better not to lose sight of your childlike enthusiasms. Staying in touch with your past is not a bad thing if you understand your place in it."

โ™’ Aquarius โ™’
"You are in possession of the best sign. But that doesn't mean you are being your best self. You believe in freedom, having it and living it, but faultily, you also believe the opposite of freedom is restraint. This is not true; a little self-discipline would help you improve in all aspects of your life, and allow you to exploit said freedom better. Being free means the ability to choose and you would do well seeking more input from others before you choose how you want to be free."

โ™“ Pisces โ™“
"They say there's plenty of fish in the sea. And that's true. It's unfortunate then you're a sea-urchin. You also get into a fight with a duck you somehow manage to lose. Best to stay inside"

๐Ÿ”ฎ Night Actions ๐Ÿ”ฎ




Aha here are the spicy night actions. Past Nacho's death, the DC didn't have much to vote on... So it was dissolved. Also, empty spaces may indicate that player didn't PM for whatever reason

I was going to do an elaborate player-by-player review like last time, but this time noona did it, and hers were pretty good so I'll stick to those :lmao

Compared to the previous burning building mechanic, I think noona and I pretty easily settled on the form of this idea, stamping out technicalities along the way. I thought the DC mechanic was pretty interesting, though perhaps not all effects were equally balanced (nor did all effects provide the DC with the same amount of powers). There is probably some more interesting concepts in this post-death corner to explore (coming to a panda game close to you). Coming up with all the effects was a little tricky but overall they produced a couple of interesting gamer moments. Hmm, I didn't expect a mafia to die to the N1 effect, I didn't think Jesus and day skip would be picked so quickly and I didn't expect horoscoping to be such hard work ๐Ÿ˜ค The tellers have it tough.

We wanted the game to have a mystical kind of atmosphere? The colours, avi's and text hopefully all contributed to that. Though usually I'm not necessarily fond of RNG, given the theme it seemed acceptable. We had to RNG onto a vote so that a majority of townies couldn't disregard a minority mafo. There was a rubberband kind of mechanic to a three-headed council, as the team that was getting bodied could attempt to control the course of the constellations. Introducing lovers into the game at a later point proved an interesting stimulant, in that even trusted players could get burnt. Inactive or unwilling players could refrain from engaging with the mechanic heavily. Living players didn't necessarily have to learn all the effects while they were playing; they could focus on the game and look up a list of more invested players after kicking the bucket.

I liked random-kuns debut. He helped a lot with Rin-chan-campaigning and has a penchant for omo'ing. It's a smart bot, for sure. It did its best. Not a lot to say about it, other than that I'm disappointed in the players who had random-kun RNG onto someone to vote for LOL, very painful. Its final deciding coin toss turned out to be pretty relevant. Apparently, random-kun has a penchant for multiples of 2 but will roll onto uneven numbers if you praise or intimidate it. Perhaps it keeps track of how everyone is treating it :heh. I think in these few cute paragraphs I've surmised most of my immediately relevant thoughts. Hopefully, less panda game shenanigans next time ๐Ÿ˜ค





๐ŸŒ  Once again, congratulations to the winners, and thank you for playing! ๐ŸŒ

Interesting mechanic and looks well thought out. Theoretically it could be rubber-banding if a team gets too ahead the DC will be filled with town/mafia to get some advantage back to their team. In a town vs mafia ofc, with multiple teams itโ€˜s less clear.

The one that gets lynched today will kill an afk player of their choice, and depending on the number on N1 deaths be again in the DC to decide next things.

The only downside is that people notoriously lose interest after they die, as evident by Restless Spirit often not even being used and some mechanics failing.

Not sure if I like that signs change every phase, like day and night separately. Feels like too much will be changing, and night outcomes may be extra confusing like this.

I mean whats written under the thread. It says "Users who are viewing the thread "Users: 8 Guest 7)". Right now it states me, Gry and digi are viewing with 5 users being anon and obviously our guests being anons as well. Meaning right now I only know of two other players for sure watching this thread unfold at the same time as I am online while for the rest I got no idea. And I also see no merit in hiding your name and thread activity like that. But that's just me though.
uhm what, I'm not hiding my name tho'

lol how is that even relevant :))) i was mafia in a game and voted for least post count so what? I would always vote for least post count on a day one unless someone slipped up and made it obv they were scum. I mean what does me forgetting that make it so interesting xD you forget i have short term memory.
It's just interesting that it implies the player has spent so little time to even look for real suspects that the only grasp for a straw is to pick an inactive, and on top of it didn't even look at the players list properly. In my opinion mafia is more likely to do that than a townie. But that is persuming that the townie spending more time to analyse the game, whereas mafia really doesn't and just need to have voted, and in best case can do a random vote and don't have to save a buddy. I reflected this in your mafia day 1 behaviour in the baccano game onto digital now. That's all I'm saying.

Am back, seems not much happened, only 2 more pages. Also like I am the only one viewing this with my name while 7 people do anonymous. Never liked that feature, if you're in you're either fully in or not at all, no need to pussy-foot around showing your name or not as if it is something dirty or risky. <.<
You sure do spam a lot of non-sensical stuff today. First you've been gasping over the amazing avatars, then about the random bot, then about your new role plans with it, James, what are you doing?

I thought hosts randomize one of the vote, it might be a random person dying.

!votekill Juviii for that post I jusr saw of voting a Capricorn, super odd to not even notice the number of players(canโ€˜t be everyone 1 sign with 21 players) or that there are different people with same sign. Donโ€˜t like how nonchalant she is about it too, sounds pretty fake.

I still think the Capricon sign needs some explanation because it says Allegiance ain't changed but at the same time the role switch is permanent. Does this mean if a townie DC happened to accidentally or by design switch a townie role with a mafia role the mafia player now has a townie role but stays as mafia? What about a townie gaining a role like Janitor? Would it mean town would have a mafia role on their side that can kill while maintaining the allegiance?

Spam? lol, Hardly below 20 posts, mate. Compared to other games that's nothing on day 1. On top of that I wrote mostly larger comments whereas plenty of other players wrote a couple words and calling it a day. Like "It's an honor" boom, post count upped by 1 without much effort. Also I can damn write about anything and everything I please, I don't need your permission for anything, Evil. Plus with the bottom 5 being chosen to extra die and the lowest posters spamming endlessly for the last hour to get out of the bottom 5 means we need a big lead because we might see post counts increase by 10s or 20s in 60 minutes by some players for sure.
Next you only focus on my hints but not on me talking about my assumption of the mafia size or the sign stuff like capricon before the hosts added the whole allegiance stuff to it? What are you doing, Evil? Already trying to prop me up as "suspicious" for the next day phase? <_<

Why haven't you changed your avatar yet, Gry? It's been over 12 hours. That's pretty unusual for you, dude. :neutral

Apologies, still backreading and settling stuff inbetween. Got to the computer now to change it properly.
No probs, thanks mate. Was just curious which avi you got since we are 21 players with 24 avis. Bit of a shame those signs only matter to the DC, would have been interesting if living player are also influenced by the signs being voted for, as in say Taurus gets voted but me and Margi would be immune to the outcome because it is "our sign" so it cannot affect us.
Though that kinda move would have made Aries and Pieces too strong for day 1 as that would include an immunity to the extra kill even if they were bottom 5 posters.

Wonder how much coffee is consumed during a game. I have had two today, while reading/typing in this thread. If you could (or could be fkd), keep a tally as an aside.
what?

If Juviii is scum all capricorns are town and all mafia buddies in her PM were unique signs.
Apologies, still backreading and settling stuff inbetween. Got to the computer now to change it properly.
Was Juviii's post so damning that you would submit a vote despite not having backread/being settled enough to install your avi?
