@Jack: I'm pretty sure the pistol is one-shot. Possibly black power.
As for the possibility of things being non-public. That... Never actually occured to me.

Mastahcheese, the opening post of Day 1 strongly implied that there was a theme for the day- dwarves, hammers, etc. Did you presume that Toaster would always be the hammerer (and thus unlynchable)? If not, why did you then presume that actions would always be public?

Flabort:[1] Can you give yourself a role with the wincon of "If you survive to Day 2, you win." [2] What restrictions are there on the roles you can give?
[1] I don't know, but I would expect it would make it really hard for me to survive to Day 2. Probably, except for that.
[2] It has to be a secondary role, and I have to have it first. I lose it when I give it to someone.

Don't try to out-guess the mod!

However, I'm feeling kind of sorry for Wuba's inbox. :p
Yeah, if we didn't learn that in BYOR13, this should teach us.

So the roles you create are balanced, insofar as they come with equal disadvantages to advantages? It sounds like more of a weapon than a gift- give somebody something they already have (and thus have no use for) and let them enjoy the disadvantages.

Well, let's say I tried to cheat the system, such as Toaster's "The role that wins KYOSN". How would Wuba or TolyK react?
On the other hand, if I didn't try to, and submitted TheDarkStar's request of "Velociraptor", it might result in an actual role, possibly with a kill even.

But then I am starting to get into trying to outguess the mods, which is what we're not supposed to do.

How many gifts can you give? I'll bite if you've got another after Velociraptor (I would like my role to be "The Role That Makes You Win If Your Username Is Cheeetar (And Makes You Lose Otherwise)").

I can give two tonight, and after that the rate may or may not be slowed to every-other-night depending on whether I can replicate something.

I may or may not give Velociraptor, it was just an example since I've only received four ideas before your own just now.

@TDS,WOLF:  the power I got identify player as mafia or shakerags so I assume shakerags are town.
@Flabort: well.... I don't have any reason to kill anyone just yet so.... Err noone?

Also I kinda have to vote whoever votes me due to popular request.

I figured there would always be someone who is the hammerer, not neccassarily Toaster, but that's who it happens to be.
I didn't get the idea that the theme was only for the day. (I was honestly rather confused by it, and didn't get much out of it other than "public actions" and Toaster being the hammerer)
I assumed actions would always be public because the idea of that failling to stay in effect never crossed my mind.
Clearly, I haven't put a lot of thought into rules like that.

...Also, wait, Toast is unlynchable? I must have missed that part...
Oh wait, he could just adamantine hammer himself, that's how it would-
I'm an idiot. Unvote, because that would do nothing.

I'd probably be all like, "Whoa."

And TolyK would be all like, "Dude."

And then we'd both be like, "Dang."

But then you probably would hate us.

And then it would be a role that gives a copy of itself to whoever the winner(s) are.

Interesting. What do you think this means about the people who have not claimed being Shakerag?

Flabort: I see you mentioned me and wanted to know about my playstyle. (There are large indicators of my playstyle in previous games, but not sure how much you care to meta). I can't seem to find your question though... heh.

Actually, change mine to "Inspector Javert." I'm guessing that "cop" would do nothing, and it offends my aesthetic sensibilities.


Will post tomorrow. Doing math.
