And because EuchreJack may be trying to cause this, I'll vote him.

Please make sure to vote in red or bold red for easy visibility. I'll count the vote this time.



There's a rumbling in the background, a roar in the distance, wheels on the road.

None of that bothers you all, of course, you're far too focused on tallying up the votes, and deciding who's going to eat a shotgun blast to the chest.

That doesn't prove too difficult, despite some of your voices ringing louder than others.

The rumbling is much closer now. Some among you look out the window to see a red sports car, a trail of fire behind its wheels. You've all seen weirder, of course, but this car in particular is aimed directly at the restaurant window you're sitting at.

Glass shatters. Most of you dive for cover. VermillionSkies turns and tries to run, but the car crushes him. The real tragedy is the loss of the remaining tuna sandwiches.

VermillionSkies has been killed. Votecount reset by kill.

Of course, despite all of that, he still manages to get back up, miraculously intact, as far as any of you can tell.

VermillionSkies has revived.

Well. Looking at the ruins of the tuna restaurant's front, you all opt to abscond before the owner can show up and try to get you to pay the bill.

This way, at least, you'll have money for food tomorrow.

The shotgun and smeared votecount sheet come along, as well.

Ow. Strike one, I suppose.

The thing that kills me is a status effect with a timer, not an ability. Once Downwards Escalator reaches zero, game over, I die.*
It's impossible to remove Downwards Escalator from me.

Vermilion: is this going to be a regular occurrence or just time one time? Is there even a purpose besides resetting votes that could simply be reapplied?

Fallacy: So, does Tricmagic have two votes? What about NQT?

How many times can you die? Is the timer based on posts or actual time?

Ok, you are just going to have to play so well that the Mafia night-kills you, obviously. 
Make the Mafia worry about how much longer you are gonna live instead of us Town worrying about you dying in the critical moment.

Really had to pick that movie didn't you. Ugh.

Would a doctor during the night protect you?


Ninja. Crystal I used a hat that gives me an extra vote. Specifically to remove the singleshot so it can't be abused later on.
NQT just has two votes for some reason.  I reeally don't trust the Canadian vote.

Are you getting... hammered... because votes are being used?

You warned us early,

In other news, votes don't matter quite yet, for reasons that should be apparent on the next votecount.

Do we help if we don't vote?  Or do you want us to know anything else instead?

The ability that matters is called Downwards Escalator, correct?  I guess we see what happens when I try to whammy it, since 'dead Verms' do not delight me.

@TheCanadianKitten: There seems to be a contradiction in two things you said.
Here, you are hyper critical of Magma Matter claiming an ability that would confuse the night results. Magma Matter was in fact doing a townie thing by telling us "Hey folks, any targeting of me is gonna give bad results" NOW rather than on Day 2+.

However, in this post, you claim that lying is BAD and creates confusion for Town.

Please explain.  I think there is enough pressure on you that I don't need to vote you, but it is suspicious.

Imp: Not an Ability, a Status. Be careful if your role cares about that.
About the Car: The car shouuuuuld be a one-time thing? I guess if anybody refills the shots on Car Accident, it'll happen again, but it's mostly just to kick off my role's mechanics.
About Dying: Depends on which of my abilities I use. They're all fairly strong, but each of them requires different things from me in exchange.
Tric: Not a movie, a song actually!
* from my previous post: Technically I still live on in the Theatre, but for all intents and purposes I'm dead and gone.

This Theater is the worst kept secret since my early mafia days. Jeeze.

Kay, so continuing from my first post this game, superkill all masons. While we aren't masons, Skies, Cat, Agentt and I are in a Night Theater. At the rate things seem to be developing there might not be much of one left by the end of the day.

I wouldn't consider myself being critical of Magma. I questioned on whether it would be prudent to reveal the role so early. I haven't really thought about whether Magma is lying about their role, as I have no way of confirming it currently. What i figured that lying is bad is when they're used in that causes conflicts of infomation that wouldn't be resolved unless they admit the liars were lying, and such confusion is unneeded.

Unvote Unvote Remember to bold. And I'm just removing the shot from these glasses before they can get stolen.

I'm sure Imp remembers last game where they had the power to control the vote. Well now it's mine for the day.

Aha.  I do indeed remember that game.  I dunno if this game is balanced the same as that, but I was wondering what you'd meant earlier when you told me I'd see.

Imp: Not an Ability, a Status. Be careful if your role cares about that.

Thanks.  I would have sworn you said abilities.

Imp: I appreciate your faith greatly, but Fallacy is the Devil and is after my soul-(don't default on car loans in hell.) My role has two abilities, one of them kills me at the end of the next day, and the other sends a sixth of my soul irreversibly to the abyss.
Are you capable of interacting with an unremovable status?

I see you said status too, I thought you meant the ability had it.

A status effect that is unremovable, no, I likely can't mess with that.  Not likely enough I'd try without more info.

I'm pretty sad, I can interact with that ability that kills you the next day if it is an ability, but again, I'd need the name of the ability to even try to fix it.

I'm not sure what you need or want help with, maybe you're cool with going under or something weirder is going on.  Clue me in if you think best.

About Dying: Depends on which of my abilities I use. They're all fairly strong, but each of them requires different things from me in exchange.

While I am more interested in prolonging your life, I can also attempt to adjust an ability.  So, like.  One you really wish was different, I could try to different it.  I'd need the name.  I'm more motivated to fix problems than just... whatever.

Fallacy has included a role that implies the existence of something without that something actually being included in the game.

Yeah.  Loads of us affected.

I was literally told in FBYOR6 as part of my role PM:

(Innate, Auto) The Bad Guys Win: Why is everyone always after what you’ve got? If you are ever killed by a player with the alignment of Mafia, Pirate, or Serial Killer, all your Item abilities are transferred to them. Additionally, any scum teams that exist gain a (Factional, Info) with the full text of this ability.

But there literally were no alignment Pirates in the game at all, no way to become one.

And there were no starting SK, 'just' a town who had a semi-complex way to choose to become an SK if TricMagic chose to do so (instead Tric died D1 to an actual avoidable death....)

So I was strongly warned about 2 alignments not even in play, and 1 could never become in play.
