Pick Your Poison Mafia: Termite Sailors Go Mad

So I'm up first? I'll wait for the PM then.

edit: got it. Because I'm going first, I get whatever I pick automatically, right?
 
All the PMs have been sent. Also, quick thing: in some of the early PMs I referred to the pick order as a 'turn order'. This is completely nonsensical and I've no idea why I did it (thinking about Civ SGs maybe?) There's no 'turn order' - you don't have to wait for the people in front of you to PM me before sending a PM yourself, because how would you know to do so?

Of course, you've all realised this anyway and I'm just being Mr. Worrypants :lol:

Verarde: I guess so, yeah :p
 
It sucks to be Verarde, cause every mafia would know he is some kind of power role...
 
I think putting that info out was a mistake, since we know who got in what position, so we have some idea who might be the power roles and who might not, so I think we should redo that again and Catharsis keep the list secret until the end of the game.
 
I agree, but it is host's decision. Maybe Catharsis plans something different

No, that's the idea of PYP - the fact that you can infer things from the list is part of the variant.

I can't really say any more without going into possible strategies, which as the GM it would be irresponsible of me to do. You will just have to trust me in that we have played this before on CFC, and it worked well then.
 
Dave is also right with what he wrote...
 
In order to keep you all updated about where we are with this:

13 of 14 players have sent in their role picks. The person we're waiting for is Mergle, who hasn't been online since before the role pick phase started. Since it's only been a day since the PMs were sent out, he'll get some more time to turn up - hopefully he appears soon.
 
Unfortunately Mergle still hasn't turned up, and since we're trying to get this game started as soon as possible, I have had to replace him. Sorry Mergle, you probably have a totally valid reason for not being around, but needs must :undecide:

landlubber will be taking over Mergle's spot in the role pick list.
 
lets go!
 
Yay! Okay, I've just got to send all the role PMs out, then stick up the opening story and we can begin!

Role PMs starting to trickle out now.

EDIT: Role PMs done, man that takes a long time even with only 14 players. Now for opening story.
 
Termite Sailors Go Mad: The Game Begins

The furious young sailor marched back from the prow, and after a few hours, he reached the deck, where the remaining thirteen termites were milling around aimlessly.

"Now then lads!" he shouted. "Bad news! The captain's been ant-sassinated, but before he died, he commanded us to fi- hey! You there!" This was directed at a fat termite a few inches away. "Stop eating that wood! We're trying to find the mutineers who've been eating all the wood."

"Those traitors!" burped the fat termite.

"Now," continued the young sailor, "does anyone have any idea how to go about that? Because I'm stumped."

A thinner termite replied, "Maybe we should examine the teethmarks on the wood and check those against the medical records we have on file?"

"That's a brilliant idea!"

The thin sailor narrowed his eyes in puzzlement. "What's a brilliant idea?"

The young termite looked blank. "I... don't remember. But anyway, the obvious course of action is insane, random lynchings, as set out in the Naval Handbook, which unfortunately has been eaten as well."

This set off a chorus of agreement, nods, and proclamations from one sailor that it had been 'delicious'.

It is now DAY!
Vote for who you believe to be a mutineer.
Note: for the first day only, a lynch will only be carried out if the top candidate has at least FIVE VOTES against his name.
The DAY will end at 20.00 GMT Tuesday (i.e. in approximately 48 hours). No votes past that time will be counted.
Have fun!
