"In the end, the man offered the group some of his guides to help them through the forest so that hopefully they could find the source of the 'spirits' that were now attacking."

So i was thinking these "glowing evil markers" would lead us to the "evil spirit" source. I mean our job is to find the source of the 'spirits' that are now attacking the village and we already know we will encunter lots of "swords".. Seems if you do 1+1 = the road from town to the evil spirit source is just about following the markers to the source..?? No?
The nature of scum in this game baffles me too.
That remark about 'spirits in the form of those we know must be relevant, ...unless it's the biggest, brightest red herring that ever existed.

It sounds like an enemy (scum? third party?) that either possesses or mimics friends/relatives. I really don't think this is a cult game, so I'm leaning towards the possibility that scum might have some additional powers of concealment or mimicry.

The fact that we haven't been told who is from the city and who is from the forest villages also seems bizarre to me. According to the intro story it should be obvious and publicly known. As a player with a city role, that might almost make me think that the the Villagers = Scum... but that seems too straight-forward, and also goes against the friendly vibe of the villagers in the story... Unless they were just being fake-friendly...

Even though I'm not confirmed, I am happy to claim town and try to be a nucleus around which town might be able to develop some trust.
Town needs an anchor like this, because right now we are very much adrift in a sea of confusion.
Also, if there is a Town Villager who also would like to claim being 'Town' on Day 1... that might begin to build some trust between the Citizens and the Villagers...
Of course, I can only hope that would not be misplaced trust!




But then the mod says the swords are all just a joke?

Man, i miss a "rulebook"

Also the "glowing swords being a joke" makes me doubt everything and im clueless here.. After the "joke" im even thinking more that "now attacking" makes me feel these spirits are sometimes the enemy and sometimes friendly? That was my original idea and after "it's all a joke" i have a bit "in the forest you smoke bush weeds so in the forest everything is a joke" feeling?

Need more coffee

What happens in the forest stays in the forest guys..

SoN!c wrote:I had an idea that the markers were possessed by evil spirits - because "glowing" and "looked after" sounds like "guarded" and that "now attacking" would mean "sometimes attacking" so in short i was thinking we had to follow the markers to its base and the further we went the more markers we would encounter...These markers would sometimes attack us, sometimes guide us..

Now im thinking: just drink your weekend evening beer man. This is all koo-koo crazy stuff and thinking it will get you nowhere.

No, I wasn't on cannabis, and I really do not recommend playing while on drugs, including alcohol, ...but not including coffee/tea.
Be alert. Town needs more lerts.

You must be close to high poster without saying a single word yet. Care to weigh in on votatonics defensiveness and now pivot to declaring himself town lead? Do you think vot is genuine?

This seems like a book storyline adapted for mafia. So I’m looking at it as a story I’d read and trying to think of how to bring in scum, a cop, a detective, and so on.

As for the spirits being the scum think they will come into play now that we are in the forest. So at some point some in our group will become or be influenced by spirits. They may not even know it yet until night hits. Or won’t know for sure who each other are until then.

I don't have a scooby what's going on here... at least in Miller's Hollow we had some public roles/powers that we could use/discuss.

Here it feels we're blindly groping in the dark, getting pricked by thorns and trying to avoid cutting ourselves on Vot's giant sword (ooh err missus)

No idea which side I want to confess to... as it's not clear to me who the scum are.

Personally the spirits would be my guess - do they maybe possess some of us? Has that happened already (would guess no)? Will it happen tonight (would guess yes)? Maybe we are all 'town/village' at the moment?

VOTE NO LYNCH

This seems like you are turning the heat up on vot while phrasing everything super inoffensively so as to maintain deniability if we did start a real wagon. vote charle
