It's a trait, so there is no real reason why we shouldn't be able to get it.
And it can be very useful. For starters, anyone who tries to lynch me this game will have to consider very carefully if that idea is good for his health.
Also, I -will- sub back in and go after any hunter or leader villager who tries to kill me because of some "goodies can't be brutal" nonsense, thanks.

Ah, reminds me of the days when I randomly shot you, you subbed in and I immediately set my brutal on you. It's a shame I was hunted in that game...
 
I see a conditional order on a leader lynch as fair, since brutal happens after the lynch is confirmed.

And you're really just asking to be scanned, aren't you :p Perhaps you're trying some reverse psychology since you normally get scanned anyway?

Yeah, well. I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't.

Staying quiet gets people to think I'm a wolf and thus, scanned. And talking gets me scanned, too. Or hunted, if I manage to make myself an actual credible threat to the wolves. With my luck me saying this convinces them I am worth hunting. *shrug*

Frankly though a wolf me would keep being brutal under wraps. It's the kind of trait that a wolf pack could -and should- use to break down the JL should one form against them. But it's only useful to them if that person gets lynched. If the village knows that the person being run up is a brutal baddie they will just ask a hunter to shoot that baddie and then have the lynch cycle go on it's merry way.
So yeah, scan me if you want, but it's pointless. I am not a wolf :p

How did I forget this?

Standing order:

Brutalize anyone who attempts to leaderlynch me
Backup Najs
Backup Adamus


There :D

Don't worry, the day I get the chance to have scanning powers I fully intend to let you have some time to run around undisturbed. Closest I've been so far is apprentice though, so you'll just have to hope the priest and seer are paying attention and feeling nice.
 
Ooo, new theme idea since this one has crossed even further into the territory of my original idea.
 
Yeah... Oh well, what's done is done.

I put the new theme idea up in the general planning thread, since we eventually agreed to choose the next game when this one got started. It would be good to see comments and other ideas put up there.
 
Hmm. Looking at the game rules, apprentices are aware of being apprentices.

It would be nice if we could get those people in contact with the seer/priest early, but I don't quite see how to get there safely until we have a JL spokesperson. Daring apprentices could give up that tidbit to someone in the hope that that person could get them in contact with the scanners I suppose, but .. I'm not stupid enough to volunteer myself for the job :p


BTW, reis, can cultists take apprentices?
( Doubt it, but let's ask..)


And where in the order of operations:

the first page said:
Nightly orders are handled in the following order:

Seer scan
Sorcerer scan
Priest scan
Guardian Angel
Hunter
Doctor
Cultist Subversion
Wolf Hunt
Witness

does the cultists' scan fall?

Cultists cannot take apprentices.

Order of operations apparently does not include the cultist scan. The Establishment is not happy, and will punish those responsible, while working to fix the mistake.

Edit : The Establishment's efficiency is unparalleled. The mistake is no more.

"Hrm hrm. Streets not safe nowadays without a good squad of dragoons in front of you.

Just the other day, after it had rained, a peasant woman and I came to cross the street, but were blocked by a muddy puddle. Being a resourceful gentleman, I naturally shoved her down before me to form a make-shift bridge, but the louty wench had the upstart indeceny to roll over whilst my boot was coming down...and now it is ruined! Do you realize how many African elephants died before we found the right stretch of hide for these?

Intolerable, I say! Emperor should ride them all down tonight, the incontinent rabble!"


Johann Josef Wenzel Anton Franz Karl Graf Radetzky von Radetz marches neatly to the bar and at sabre point liberates a dusty tokai bottle from its oaky prison.
 
*puts bottle down*

My fellows, as a young student I do not think we should act to harshly against these mobs of unruly proles, but act with a kind yet firm guiding hand, so that their moral principles may be restored and improved. Nevertheless, we must be on our guard less the barricades arise!
*drinks from the bottle*

Indeed, we must make sure that all of God's children are loved. But do not forget that part of love is chastening...discipline to ensure that our society does not devolve into violence and sin. Let all those who believe that God is not just quake before his righteous anger!

What is this nonsense that you are advocating?!?! The proles should know their rightfull place and not work at upsetting the status que.

Servant! Fetch me my afternoon tee immediately!


Queen Victoria returns to the corner avaiting the Earl Grey with a squeeze of lemon.
 
Radetzy von Radetz brushes the dust off his tokai bottle with military precision, then having produced a few small crystal glasses proceeds to pour it out for his fellow Antidisestablishmentarians.

"Ah, to be young and in love. There is no Truth that greater Beauty will not hide, le grande R, but if you live to see what chaos ensues when a strong hand is held back, you'll soon change your drink and your politics to harder stuff.

It's really as simple as ABC...Anticipatory Benevolent Culling...otherwise, their mongrel tendencies will come out. It's all about the breeding you see..."


The Austrian count widdles on about his dogs, or horses, or daughters...it's not entirely clear he knows the difference...

Relax, my friend. A closer reading of my post should assure you that I have no intentions of advocating that the rabble should change their class and/or role in society. Merely that we, as those talented and gifted by God, should use our talents and gifts to ensure that the masses accept and enjoy their position on the bottom of the social ladder, rather than antogonize them.

However, should anyone seek to change society by violent means...woe be it to him who sees fit to defy God's law in an attempt to benefit his own position!
 
Will there be a lynch vote first night? It looks like there won't be but I wanted to make sure. I'm feeling ill so i'm off for the night and I didn't want to miss anything.

Nope, after all we will not start lynching until after we have someone dead from a wolf attack, why would we ever do otherwise?
