Welcome, Bat-Gang (Night Zero)

[The Moderator]

Sorry, y'all. That was a tough break.

The Batsuit is now passed on to Idle Thoughts, who can use any of its gadgets if he does not execute the Scum Night kill.

Good luck!

[ossie]

Guiri is one of those who are really good at doping out the structure of a game. The other I'd be worrying about is BillMc.

However, they get killed early so often that it may be getting old. To that end, leave them until midgame. (They might be good recruiting targets later as well.)

I want to kill Chronos, personally. We should do this if we're sure that he won't be protected. However, we might do better striking into the pool of unknowns in the attempt to get a doctor or investigator.

Or maybe Hal. For revenge.

[ossie]

Sorry, I forgot. Leave Texcat alone for Tonight. We need an extra death or two to stir things up.

[oracle]

I'm down with leaving TexCat alone, since it's unlikely that she'll hit any of us. I'd be interested in watching her in any case.

If we don't do Chronos (and I think there's the risk that he will be watched/protected), I would rather do a certified Very Strong Player on mechanics and such than strike out randomly into the crowd -- so I'd like to do guiri or BillMc.

Basically, any of Chronos/guiri/BillMc would be my preference.

Probably in the following order:

guiri
BillMc
Chronos

oh, and peeker sent me a message telling me that he is an unrecruitable Townie.

I'll copy and paste it now.

[oracle]

Here we go. Good to see that I'm one of his strongest town leans.

Just after the lynch, as you were heading back to your apartment for the Night, you were approached by peekercpa. He gave you a quick glance... then slipped you a resume, and several references. Seems he's a career henchman, definitely on the side of the Baddies, looking for new employment.

I hereby moderator-confirm that the player called peekercpa is definitely, permanently, immutably, Town in alignment.

Peeker knows that you have been given this information (he gave it to you!). What you do with it from here is up to you.

[ossie]

*crosses peeker off the list of potential recruits.*

[oracle]

Also cross Total Ullz off the list, since she is apparently part of a mason pair.

Which means she should be a kill priority at some point, though probably not just yet.

[ossie]

I took a couple of hours away from the game after the lynch, to clear my brain.

When I checked in before bedtime, there was a message from Storyteller saying I'd receive my answer "by the end of Night 1."

[oracle]

I assume we're going to have The Penguin execute the nightkill, since there seems to be no penalty for doing so. I'd still like to kill guiri.

I'm going to watch either TexCat or Chronos, probably TexCat.

Who should we have pizza roleblock?

And which of the Batsuit powers should we have Idle use, if any?

[askthepizzaguy]

When does N1 end and who should I block?

[ossie]

Night ends at 10pm on Saturday March 10.

The only power role we know is Texcat, so maybe you could think about blocking her. The problem with that is dealing with accusations by Town watchers (or trackers if we're really unlucky).

Otherwise we could shoot blind and see if anything happens.

I'm going to be out all tomorrow afternoon and evening, so I don't know how much thinking time I'll have.

It's been suggested I do the killing, and I'm amenable to that if I can do so and recruit. We'll have to wait until Dawn to see whether we've hooked Pollux though.

Speaking of recruits, wouldn't it be a twist if the recruitable third party was Bruce Wayne?

Remember, Batman took poison at the end of the last game. If that poison was actually a chemical capable of casting him into a death-feigning coma, he might have actually survived. (Although the survivng baddies did want to rip his body to pieces.)

Anyway.

My candidates for the kill.

Chronos.
Total Ulla (she's got a teammate.)
Peeker (he's Mod-confirmed Town. He seems to think that his message can only be passed to a Baddie though. He must have misread his PM - at least, I hope he did and Story didn't.)

[ossie]

On another subject altogether, I reckon I'll catch a fair amount of heat Tomorrow. If necessary, I'll roleclaim Ventriloquist and pull Chronos's teeth - from his reaction or lack of it we'll know which of the two roles is compromised.

I'll need help here. I intend to claim roleblocker of some kind, using my voice-throwing powers to create distractions that put my target off their stroke. Anyone up to working up a Powers section for me?

If the Ventriloquist is blown, I'll claim more or less truthfully - and reveal I can recruit Today...

[Idle Thoughts]

I'm back.

I wish to use my power toNight. Sorry, but I don't like being scum in any game, so I'll be very happy once I'm dead and out. Since I have a power of killing someone at Night, I figure I can, at least, take someone with me before I'm revealed to be scum tomorrow.

Any suggestions on who I should try killing?

[oracle]

Idle, I think that's a very bad idea and not a good trade at all. We're already down one scum! I really wish you wouldn't.
