Alot of people getting told they were visited or get messages oh boy

Makes you wonder if that makes them all town. No one town has claimed to create these messages.

I'm not opposed to claiming, but I would like at least someone else to ask (no vote necessary, with locked votes now.) also, should I stick to day 1 role only? Or do you want both?

Both. All three. All 4. All 10. I want everything.

Where would you like to go then Ben?
I can understand wanting to see if him loving on borrowed time resolves itself. But unless we're following Corrik's lead to resolve the D1 lynch, I'm a little directionless. I'd like to push Crescent/Chang, but I'll give Chang a chance to actually catch up and post notes.

Chang when you catch up, I don't really care about you trying to defend whatever Crescent did. I'd be more interested in your thoughts on other players not super talked about already like Death or Wallz at end of day. I guess also Lea/BCT is a more relevant one that I'd like your read of.

I feel the directionlessness. I thought Crescent was pretty safely town yesterday. I dont even think it makes sense for her to make the posts he made about traits as scum. I also kind of have Ashe, Wallz, and Death in my POE of people i have the least thoughts on. I dont fully trust Corrik is town even though i agree with all of his logic and actions so far. Ashe is a good person to go after and i agree they should claim.

Ashethan, I will third the idea to go ahead and claim.

I think at this rate it's likely the day turns back toward you regardless. Though I think there are still a couple people to hear from. (Brohan, Chang once he's caught up, more from JC and Red.)

Rude.

Alright, I'll claim.

Yesterday I was Michael Myers, Solo Queue Quiet Predator. Quiet is the same as Lea's/BCT. Basically a Ninja. But Predator has no action attached to it.

Today I'm Mikaela Reid Solo Queue Mystic Inquisitive. Mystic is basically the same as Quiet, and I'd rather not say what Inquisitive does yet.

... you were a killer day1?

Yes

My thoughts exactly. Does anyone else want to claim to have been a killer first? I'll confirm that I was not.

2 confirmed claims of survivor first, killer second.
Ben and BCT/Lea both claimed survivor first.

If true this also means that Ashe and BCT/Lea had the exact same functional abilities N1. Both claiming Quiet (ninja) with a vanilla trait.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/7441550a.png

Can confirm I was not a killer for day one and I am a killer for day two.

Ulti had the predator trait and this was a motion detector role. Is there truly this much overlap between our trait names?

Whats "basically the same" as quiet mean/ is it the same?

I wasnt a killer until today either

Was debating whether or not to reveal it because with the way the game is set up I suppose it is possible that not all town players were survivors day1
And in that case revealing who started out as killer day1 may give scum too much information.
But my reaction kinda already gave my status away I figured.

I do feel that it should have come up in a conversation long before now, if survivors and killers were mixed together in town.

I have no clue im wondering it is Trait traps. Beacuse I know mine wasn't the same as Ulti's.

It's the same, just different name.

The traits are a whole other can of worms. But I suppose the host did say this

Additional information I forgot to mention: Traits may be identical or have similar names, but their descriptions may vary.

BCT was also named Quiet, so wouldn't it be the same name AND the same effect?

Zzz

Maybe having a single killer first is a sort of flavor miller? I don't like it though

I was hoping to come in today with a grand post this morning but my anxiety about a psychiatrist appointment is off the fucking charts so Im not putting much effort into the grand reveal.

Im responsible for the chain hunt. The Box will appear after 24 hours as someone speculated.

I will explain how the box works with a full claim before the 24h mark and the Box appears. I am, however, Jeff Sorensen, SOLO QUEUE Intuitive Metalhead and Elliott Spencer (I suppose Pinhead), SOLO QUEUE Game Master Sadist Metalhead.

Please continue to scum hunt in the meantime.

Oops I misremembered and Jeffs last name is Johansen and not Sorensen oops, either way though.

Hmm

Urge to get Red to claim his day1 traits/flavor rising.

I hate to be Mr. Flavor Police but....going by DBD rules, if the town team queued up as Survivors, it only makes sense that the mafia team queued up as killers, and the teams swap sides each round.

i dont know the game but wouldnt it make sense for the mafia team to be some inverse of solo queue

is there a team queue

Oh that is more damning

(Not the mechanic itself tho. The game sorta sounds like fun)

Does Ashe play the game?

oof. Alright. I have questions but I'll wait on you to elaborate

Oh and thanks for explaining JC.
Cant exactly say if this makes you town tho. Also cant you get rid of the box sooner?

Good luck with your appointment at least.

I cant interact with the Box, Im the only player who cant open it. All will become clear!

And thanks!

How is it that you are responsible for a pinhead box if your only actions available would have been as Jeff? You didn't become pinhead until day 2 started.

I will not be opening the box I'll leave that to someone else

Red strongly hinted that he was a killer D1. But can wait for him to come in and clarify that if he wants to.

Specifically the post where he mentioned that Killers are technically solo queue too.

That's part of what got me to back off of him. Because I thought there wasn't much of a point of scum coming forward with that type of hinting, and fit the miller claim well, being a solo queue killer among a bunch of survivors.

I did some actual research this time, and yes the other mode is called "Custom Game", and its where you form a party with friends. So yes that does make more sense and would mean the mafia team doesnt all have to start as killers.

Which on the other hand, yeah if you were mafia and all started as killers, why would you admit that.

that was my main question

it seems like a passive ability to me that would just be triggered whenever he transforms

We would expect people with Day actions to have access to their new abilities immediately, right? So if the box is considered a day action, then maybe he didn't "choose" to set it down last night?

My intuitive trait said that I would get some clue to some grand mystery (paraphrased) at the start of the night, and gave me the ability to use my Elliott action contingent on surviving until morning.

Reverse psychology?
I dont know.
I dont remember if Ashethan would be the kind of player to try that.

It sounds like your intuitive trait is contingent on having a second form then?

Forceful_Dragon posted...

Yes? the second form is Elliott/Pinhead?

To be clear, the info about my Elliott action *was* the clue from my intuitive trait

Right my point is that if my very first role PM had something along the lines of "You are intuitive and will be able to use [Second Flavor]'s action before you transform into him" I think I would be pretty confused or at least convinced that a flavor swap was coming?

Or was it originally "You're a thoughtful and emphatic guy, it doesn't do much" and then "JUST KIDDING, you can do X/Y/Z now!"?

The latter

and to be clear it was Metalhead that said it didnt do much. Intuitive said I would get a clue at the start of the night, which was the just kidding now you can do X

right I assumed metalhead to be vanilla based on the character bio. I don't really understand why he would be particularly intuitive though.

And to be clear you had the option to activate the box? It wasn't forced? I'm failing to guess what potential boon we'll receive that would make it worth deactivating our abilities and making us unable to remove/move votes.

just wait for me to give the info post later why am I answering these questions now

Why tell us anything now if we just have to wait for info later?

because people have the capacity to be patient :)

Or you derailed our already malnourished activity.

well I would like to have fun with my role and need to get through my appointment to need to feel the emotions associated with fun again so you will just have to wait, my apologies
