We're assuming that the angels have to be physically close to the other players in order to use their night actions. Someone speculated earlier that town PRs would have similar mechanics. Not dying at night >> dying at night.

But, you're right. Focus on finding scum. You have any thoughts on the other players so far?

the plan is, we announce our movements JUST before the lynch, and we move in distinct patterns. scum won't be able to mimic our patterns if we post them JUST before the lynch, and it will let us figure out who is who (something that scum already knows)

"hey guys I'm moving three steps to the left"
-> 4 pieces move 3 steps to the left

Well, that isn't informative at all.

How does it not help? Angels have all the info they need. Having no information is much worse than having some info.

Besides, we can coordinate movement and angel position. If we see something, we are notified - figuring out who you are on the board will make you use the board to your advantage.

Just a few thoughts about mechanics since nothing else is going on right now:

We have three different parameters to distinct the moving of the players:
- Moving Direction
- Moving Speed
- Watching Direction

We have to be really unlucky to not confirm the spot of most players in the first night with this many possible unique combinations. So we should all claim our values for those 3 parameters right before deadline.

Also another host question:
Can two players be on the same spot? If not, what happens when they both move on the same spot? Can a player get on a spot where a statue is? If not, what happens when he tries to do so?

Why bitch at people if you haven't anything to add yourself, dear?

Noone has said this so far. We were not aware that it was possible to move in more than one direction and noone mentioned that the direction we look at will additionally help us to discern the different players.

And if you are reading the thread you should actually know this. Which makes me wonder why you asked that question.

I wanted to make it clear that the above scenario is very unlikely due to the huge amount of combination possibilities available.

Yeah, you're right, I missed that. However, it doesn't change the fact that I really want this to happen. Even if scum is successfully messing with us, we should still be able to recognize most people.

fferyllt for being in the thread and not posting anything of substance.

In a far second place marv for being way to nice and not enough leader-ish.

Plans don't suck at all, in games like these they're pretty important, and making good/bad plans can have a pretty large difference in the final outcome. So try reading and understanding what's written, because plans simply do not suck; what sucks if you saying they suck.

Nothing yet, but its only just started. Also this is far from your normal game, so figuring out the setup is pretty damn important. Same with plans, if we can't figure out who is who, we are just moving randomly around the board and we will lose very quickly.

Why don't you give your own, before asking other people for theirs?

You don't get to ask me or anyone else questions if you're not going to do what you're asking for yourself.

That's hypocrisy, and that sucks.
