CHOOSE YOUR OWWN III - Game Thread

Tbh I'm not even sure why that role has the Alpha part in front of it because the description in the roles list just sounds like it's your standard mafia goon.

Yeah idk, the definitions are apparently the same?

An alpha werewolf looks to be the wolf equivalent to the village and mafia godfather roles

 

[Lawpy]

Except there’s also a wolf godfather that looks the same as standard wolf?

I'd be grateful for any general take-aways people who played the previous CYO's can share; I've never done a game like this and it feels pretty different from a normal game at first glance.

(I'll try and get around to reading them myself but I'm eloping in a few days and things are a bit hectic in the Stoat-True household)

This post makes me feel a little funny. Giving me some LiterWWary flashbacks.

We could have ... but there's no guarantee that masons are town in this setup and that's extremely spooky.

Yeah that's why I decided against it. Too spooky to end up as a mason with non-village.

 

[WildZoo]

Can't believe he got the entire pack in one guess, Lawpy is just too good at this

This is just our fate when wolfing together

Well CYO 2 definitely didn’t turn out the way I predicted from reading the first few pages. Actually pretty confused what went on in D3 but oh well

 

[Zenge142]

Last time we played CYO, I think it was Chaos who encouraged everyone to claim what role they used for AFFILIATION pretty early on, and I like the thinking behind that since you can catch slips later with it.

THIS IS TALKING ABOUT YOUR CHOICE FOR AFFILIATION, NOT ABILITY. DO NOT CLAIM YOUR ROLE.

I used town mason/lover for my aff.

RNGesus has a real trolly sense of humor giving me a lover possibility after my experience last year.

Town Lover.

 

[Truenamer]

Town Lover.

I'd say "dang, we could have been lovers" but having a suicide pact isn't really my ideal romance

 

[Chaostrodon]

Dartboard reads: Staggs, WZ, MKG, Truey

I am hoping dartboard reads doesnt mean going by discards

YES , Thank you.

So this time you can do the arguing with multiple people on why it makes sense

Im black goo aligned (Thats town btw , even tho the name looks very scummy)

I don’t think I saw a village godfather in play on here before

Or aliens for that matter.

Village godfather is just Vanilla townie with a fancy name

But Romeo and Juliet worked out so well in the end…for Shakespeare anyway.

I was under the impression that Zenge was hosting the game up unto this point

Why have you two exchanged clothes

• Black Goo: Anyone who targets you will become part of the Cult faction.

So it sounds scummy and it... is... scummy?

Everyone did Swaps for the Anniversary game. You might notice Lawpy is April from Parks and Rec, a common avatar of supershorty’s (though Lawpy used a different April). Or that MKG is currently using Samac’s usual avatar.

 

[WildZoo]

Black goo is not...town aff...is it?

 

[WildZoo]

Oh I guess maybe it is

 

[WildZoo]

The wincon is town-aligned per the wiki

 

[Zenge142]

It says they win when all threats to town are dead. But then there’s the whole “cult” bit. So I honestly don’t know what to think about it.

It’s a hell of a gambit for a wolf/mafia to claim to avoid being targeted though.

I kind of want to just leave it for now but it’s also an big 😬

 

[WildZoo]

And it's listed with town roles.

Guess that checks out even though it feels really weird lol

Yeah I'm not gonna worry about it. I know chaos is a crazy wolf but it would be an odd one to claim if not real.

Yeah, and it's in the town list. Wild.

The only black goo I've actually seen in a game before was in Worst Idea, and I only remember it because of AM saying "Your ass is grass and I'm the mower," and Pippy responding with "Good luck mowing this" and a black goo gif

Its just an alignment not a role , So you can target me all you want , I wont put you in a cult

 

[WildZoo]

Given how much that argument was used for putting alley in some village lists in the last iteration of this game (and recognizing they're different players, but still), and that we don't know for sure if shorty had the option to be town, this is irrelevant for me.

It wouldn't matter for that second line since he's claiming it for affiliation.

Shame, I've always wanted to be culted...

Ooooh right. I always forget that part. Okay.

Yeah black goo was definitely NOT town-aligned in that game, hence my initial confusion

Wait how do I appropriately react this?

I guess thank you?

 

[potentialsheltervet]

Hang on. I'm confused on what's going on with claiming affiliation. How is that beneficial? Wouldn't wolves/goons just claim town alignment no matter what?

Yes, I fully expect that everyone will magically be town in their claims, but there's information to be gained from it that can be used to catch slips later on.

Edit: ok, it worked when I went into BB code mode. Interesting. Anyway, these are the ones that bothered me @WildZoo.
