pfp im a doctor i targetted lenglon n1 and jim n2
That sets up a decent "opposition" with Solifuge.

I think lillies/roses could be an opposition pair too - roses are generally associated with passion and fiery love, while lillies are generally associated with shy and retiring purity.  Or male/female maybe.  The other oppositions seem fairly obvious, other than the still unclear Griffionday group.

Alternatively lillies are the flower of death.

Oh right, and Jim: generally, a Sleeping Goddess in a mafia game doesn't merely perceive things with her dreams.  She changes the world to fit her dreams.  That is to say, if a Sleeping Goddess were to imagine threats to a Prince, threats would appear.
Why generally? What are you basing this on?

ZU, I think you need a new phone.
I'm using iphone5 >_> I just have autocorrect off.

PM returned, I know nothing of QES
Well I guess normally ppl don't know they are protected, but maybe Jim is different.

"Well, so they organized themselves at last."

"Oh?"

"Yes.  With a great deal of shuffling and whispering.  For a moment I imagined what it would have looked like, had they done so on the first day--the full effect.  But as it was eight women in black in a straggly arrangement, perhaps some of the impact was lost.

"In any case, I could no longer hear all that they said.  There was much gossiping and fluttering of fans.  I thought, at the time, that it was cute."

"There is a charm to the way ladies gather and talk with such passion, as though they had anything important to say.  Eyes flashing, lips red, squabbling over the smallest infraction. . ."

"I would say with all respect, Sir Barkeep, that you must not know much of women."

MOD, what do we know about Mother Death that's mentioned in the flavor?

She's a local goddess in the vein of Chernobog.  Some of you are unfamiliar with her, due to not being from these parts.  Her followers mandate that bodies be buried and that nothing be done to them by way of preservation or ceremony.  Their contention is that the experience of death itself is pure and the full experience of this purity is necessary to send souls safely to the afterlife.

Sleeping God is a role that used to pop up occasionally on Bay 12.  I'm not sure how long it's been since we really had one.  Here's a quote from webadict explaining:
It's a role that has influence over the game, whether knowingly or not.

For instance, they may change the type of game, voting system, night actions, etc.

There are a few games that contain this role.
I think I stole the idea from a Haruhi themed game on mafiascum a few years back.  Anyway, my point is that Jim's dreams may be shaping reality rather than just perceiving it.

Leafsnail: Do you love the musician for letting you dance?
No - my character doesn't even seem to realize that there must be a musician playing the music.  She loves the Prince due to the fact that she was able to dance with him.

The key to the role is vague global effects.

Jim: why did you ignore my questions?

No I don't know why I appeared as what I did. I was going to tell you, before I decided to switch gears with the mass flavor claim, that you probably know better than I did, and what do you know! It turns out that you did.

and then Jim appeared and said Prince-standing stuff, and then I woke up.

As what?

Actually, I think the inexplicable animation of Lenglon and Toaster may be something to do with you.  Could you try asking Vector if you've ever had any dreams about plants becoming human or anything?

I asked, and just for good measure I asked about rival sisters competing for a prince, and about princesses turning into ducks, and cursed dancers.

I have dreamed of everything imaginable, so at some point I dreamed about these things or stuff very similar to them.

Could we talk about flowers for a moment, by the way?  We were all wearing red roses at the start.  My role PM mentions me wearing yellow roses later.  Does anyone have any mentions of wearing lillies in theirs?

Except for me appearing as part human-part flower in the N2 flavor, there's no mention of flowers in my flavor at all.

The two pairs may have an NPC third member - for the swans it could be the Prince, and for the lovers it could be the Prince's older brother.  That would make the scheme for those people:

The prince the Swan sisters fought over is not the Prince's elder brother, it was a prince from some other kingdom.

webadict I <-> Ottofar: Black and white swans.  Rival sisters.
zombie urist -> Jim Groovester <- Solifuge
Griffionday (<?)-> Currently unknown duck
Toaster -> NQT <- Lenglon
Leafsnail -> Currently unknown musician <- webadict II

I appeared as TheWetSheep's mother but aged and as a winged ghost-prince to Tiruin. I don't think either of these jive well with a musician role.

The winged ghost-prince might make sense for whoever the duck is though.

I don't think an aged mother is necessarily incompatible with a musician.  In any case, I checked and my cursed shoes are there because I once cheated on a (female) lover.  Apparently that isn't too relevant to the game though.

I asked, and just for good measure I asked about rival sisters competing for a prince, and about princesses turning into ducks, and cursed dancers.

Interesting.

The thing I find odd - you were intending to dream of a bell last night, right?  I can't really see how that relates to the flavour I received.

The prince the Swan sisters fought over is not the Prince's elder brother, it was a prince from some other kingdom.
Sure, my idea was that the current Prince is what links them.  The elder brother was speculation for the Griffionday group (the woman may have been in love with his elder brother, or something).

So are you male or female?

If you're female, why did you have a female lover?
If you're male, why are you here as a princess?

Female, I was experimenting (didn't go too well since I ended up cheating with a guy).

Come to think of it, in Japan roses and lillies do have homosexual connotations (for gays and lesbians respectively), but I think that's prooobably not what Vector meant with them.

I think the bell thing is on my end. I'm guessing the list of topics I have to choose from have different effects.

I dreamed about a bell and then I told everyone I was town. This makes sense to me; bells are great at announcing things loudly and publicly.

Anyone notice the change in thread title?

Toaster, Lenglon: Are you two really here for the safety of the Prince or are you here to advance the goals of your respective flower clans?

Ok what in the Grey Havens happened here.



Toaster, Lenglon: I believe in full doubt that you two are flower-girls. It is truly unbelievable in itself--why are flowers going to marry a Prince while whoever transformed them...did so? I'm suspecting you're both in league with each other, for that matter despite whatever sort of strange concept happens, like the..strange clan claim with its very own 'special' formatting.

This to me speaks of a rather large loophole. You both have different roles which aren't the ones you claimed. I'm really doubtful--rather, I completely denounce that notion judging from what I've seen myself.

Why are you two hiding behind, and falseclaiming? If I had two votes, I'd lay them down right here.



The winged ghost-prince might make sense for whoever the duck is though.
This is true, I have found that out--but sadly, it isn't fully true when you see the information behind it. I have only lied once, here.

No, I cannot claim my role--don't argue that 'Oh I'm scum hiding my role blah blah' but that I can't. I could make a really nice fakeclaim from it with no visible deviation, but I can't. I have told nothing but the truth ever since until now, other than what I can't. You have all debated on it, and by logical conclusion, you have already found it. I'll only give that which I'm not: I have no (or..as far as I know) skill with the instruments of wind, percussion, or string. And before anyone can prod me on that non-claim, I'll give a synonymous role which has no difference in context from my main one, including its ability(es).

QES is quod erat sanctifactum
Meaning?

You aren't even responding to my query, sir.
lenglon should have a qes day 1 pfp
Why should she?

Should we no lynch?
[...]
Please respond to my queries >_>
I'm pretty sure I got all of them but I'm too busy to check. Sorry.
Why in the world should we no lynch?!

Why in the world are you too busy to check, and yet reply without even answering them? :I Look, I can understand you're busy, but leave a note lest I grab more of this suspicion and stuff it down your throat by the spoonful. Because you're seemingly ignoring me, for a follower of this 'goddess'. Pretty rude.

Please read, or are you being lazy, again?


The fact that a threat doesn't succeed in killing someone doesn't make the threat any less of a threat, does it?  Also, the OP flavor didn't change.  You may just be interpreting it differently.

And, furthermore--not all threats are existential.  The Prince is rather innocent, isn't he?
The Prince invited these killers here! There is no recourse to his motive, he wanted us killed for...some reason! His naivete is a threat to himself![/hahahno]

...Mod: Can we talk to the Prince, himself. Like, right now as it seems he's observing us?

"Horatio! Excuse my queries again, but I've to ask. Why was there a body found on the royal grounds, where nobody could alert us of? Where was the White Swan buried, and who undertook the deed of doing such? I mean, we've got guards here, yes? What were they doing? Are nightly shifts being enforced?

"Why did some girls resist the clothing changes when they entered? I'm sure you could've heard the complaints from the serving ladies and men.

"...Oh, and how was the first night for you?"
