Everyone win?  What?

Yes, everyone.  Town, witches, shamans, dead, living, EVERYONE.


It's complicated, though, and I need the cooperation of everyone.

First off, pretty everything Dariush said to Toony is true.  The only thing is I suspect that our standard wincons are not compatible.   The big things are true- townies don't concern us, only the shamans, which we knew about coming in to this.  Further, there's a massive magical rift over this town, and it's getting bigger.  Remember this?

The slight mist, a remnant from the rain, hovered over the ground and in ripples in the air; a ghostly apparition of riverwater, heavy with a dreamy languor, it flowed across the town and through people’s hearts, its undercurrents creeping across the pale grass. The sky, blanketed by low grey clouds, had just then taken on a strange greenish cast – and the elder inquisitor looked up, apprehensive. Patches of spectral green had lit up and crawled across the underbelly of the clouds – but had disappeared after only a few moments, as if they were never there. He blinked several times, like a man who had seen a silhouette in the dark of his eyes but which, turning to look, had disappeared.

The rift is getting bigger, and it's starting to affect reality.  I rather suspect this game is on a timer, so no lynching is a bad idea.

It is possible there exists a summoner that can summon things through the rift, but I have nothing to corroborate any existence- just the possibility.  However, once it gets big enough, things can come through on their own.  And you don't want that.



Yes, I said our standard wincons are likely incompatible.  But I have a bonus wincon for all factions, in my only night action, a one shot.  It has a boatload of requirements.  The rift can be sealed with a ritual that all three witches and both shamans must participate in, at the cost of our lives.

First, the day must start with both shamans and all three witches alive, and all other players dead.  Second, we must no lynch that day.  Third, no one besides myself must act that night.  Fourth, I use my night action.  If everything goes right, the rift is sealed, we die, everyone else comes back to life, and it's as if this whole thing never happened.

I'm aware a witch and a shaman are already dead, but there's a way around that.  If you want to hear how, get me that extend.

um...
you're asking a lot of us here toaster.
specifically, you're asking us to die.
I, um...
you... DO understand that you're asking us for a lot, a LOT of trust, here.

and i've got an extend out for you already.

Toaster: why did you wait this long? not everyone is active at this hour. even if you convince everyone who reads to extend, I don't know if you'll get your extension simply because not everyone will log on in time.

Does the Death Shaman want to step in now with whether they'll co-operate with Toaster's plan?

Toaster, do the Witches know what's causing the rift? How exactly would everyone come back to life? Did you lie about your character's age?

NQT: give toaster your extend already, please.

My Roleclaim: I am vanilla town, and was refusing to roleclaim in an attempt to bait the nightkill to me.

Toaster:you may not get your extend, vote me. if I end up being the lynch target, then you'll have tomorrow to work with.

Unvote

If it'll make people better, I'm willing to vote shakerag instead of myself. I just want to avoid killing a town power role in our gesture of trust.

Lenglon:

I was really waiting for NQT.  With your unvote, I expected his to follow, and I would stay quiet another day.  Beyond that, I really didn't expect opposition to the extend.

PPE:  Well, that's one way to do it.  PPE2:  Makes no difference to me, unless he's a vig.

Lenglon.

Toaster, do the Witches know what's causing the rift? How exactly would everyone come back to life? Did you lie about your character's age?

1.  No.  Apparently these things just happen.
2.  It's an effect of the ritual.
3.  No, nor about not having kids.  But remember, we witches are Borrowing (obvious Discworld reference) other bodies, just like in WC1 and WC2.

Ooops, sorry.

No, we don't.  We're just as curious as you.

Toaster: do you have any information about the summoner that you haven't already said? any hints as to his abilities? any hints as to his wincon?

No.  Like I said, I don't even know one exists.  Let me paraphrase the reference for you.  Context is us talking about the rift.

The rift is active, and big and obvious to anyone magical.  If it gets big enough, things on the other side can get through.  Right now it's easy for someone who knows summoning magic.  There's lots of specialized really strong ones that will only work near such a rift.


That's the extent of it- only mentioned in one paragraph.  Also, in regards to the reason I think we're on a timer, I can sense something old and massive on the other side.  You know, standard eldritch horror stuff.

You may ask for an extension or shorten by putting the respective word in bold.  Extensions require 33% of players to agree minus any players opposing, and requires at least three players. Extends are for 48 hours including weekends, and there may only be a maximum of four Extends.

I thought it was 4 per game
