Reverie SOV

Has he even checked in yet? Does he need a FB nudge?

 

[SARdoghandler]

Ok, home from Columbus and caught up, I think. Definitely going to have to re-read that intro post a few times to absorb it all.

Well I'm sure Mel would be happy about there being fewer cows in the world

Wait... does Mel hate cows? How did I miss this?

(Of course, I will still accept reverie votes 😉 Can't let the storyteller tell us what to do all the time.)

Of course you will. 😛

Regardless,
Reverie Pippy

Just to make it more interesting on the board. Wouldn't want Barks to run away with it with no competition.

Spoiler, I spent my entire weekend in Columbus with cows. Cows are lyfe.

(For the record, I'd also be ok with BarkBark. I am in support of the reasons why others are voting for her, but I'm selfish).

Regardless of what Navilly said, I still don't think I want to block anyone

Based on the rules post, it sounds like there will be minimal killing in the game anyways for the time when the block would be in effect, so all we would likely be blocking is things like info-gathering abilities, and I would rather those not be squashed.

Information makes the WWorld go round.

Plus, if there is a story determining much of the early flow of the game, then perhaps letting the winds of fate (aka the mod god) decide who is blocked is not such a bad thing?

Mod said there are mechanics that would make a block still happen, not that the mods themselves would be the deciding factor. It could just as easily be a player's ability or an item or etc and so on.

I would agree that blocking does not seem to accomplish a whole lot in the early game. That being said, someone will get blocked regardless of whether or not we vote for a specific person. There are still ways of minimizing the chances of eliminating a crucial info-gathering ability.

We don't know what mechanic is in place to ensure the blocking happens.

Obviously everybody is free to vote for what they want to do, clearly I'm not voting to block anyone (at least right now) but I'm not going to encourage anyone to not vote to block if they want to. I feel like we get more useful information that way too.

Since the concept of being overwhelmed has come up a few times, I will note that the write ups will not be as long for day and night cycles, especially since you have two to read in 1 day. They will still be content rich and tell a story, but if you are worried about 8 pages of material going out twice a day, worry not.

Block Jahboi

This seems reasonable, and likely an alright strategy.

Block Jahboi

Unless, of course, there's some sort of kickback for someone who intentionally wants to be blocked. But that's pretty WIFOM-y and I'm not willing to go there yet. Someone volunteering to be blocked is likely better than RNG-ing it or letting a small handful of people control where the block goes while everyone else abstains.

 

[allieh8607]

block jahboi

Was originally going to vote to reverie genny but with jahboi blocking himself in the hopes of not blocking anyone with information gathering abilities, I think I'm comfortable voting there.

 

[KCgophervet]

Interesting move. The real question is does the LIS rule apply in this situation?

I'll run with it for now because I agree with the statement (that someone will get blocked regardless and better to know who and how, less so info gathering). Nothing personal

[allieh8607]

Fwiw, I also read the Ziggy/AM interactions as a little aggressive (moreso just Ziggy) but I tend to always read her tone as a little more assertive/aggressive anyway so right now it's NAI for me I think.

I am going to remind everyone per the rules post, you can vote to BLOCK OR REVERIE. Many of you just voted to do both without removing your first vote. Please do a new post with your vote if that is your wish on what you want to do.

This is nice, given that we will already have enough to read with 33 people, including chatterboxes like yours truly (who is going to try to shut up a little more than usual for everyone's benefit & because lounge style game deserves lounge style posting).

Why wouldn't you try to get the sketchiest blocked? Why leave up to date when mod confirmed will happen anyways? That's just lazy play.

 

[mypetmoose]

Navilly, can you comment on the effects of ties, and whether more than one person can receive the effects of a reverie or block?

If more than one person can receive the benefit by a reverie tie that probably wouldn't be a bad thing for us to try to do...

Of course! Tie mechanic is quite simple. If there is a tie on a vote, all victims of the tie (NOT THE TIEMAKER) will feel the effect of the vote. This applies whether it is lynching, blocking, reverieing, etc.

I think it's also important to consider that whoever we are blocking, if they are a villager, has a pretty high chance of survival for the first 5 days.

If you have him added on facebook this would be appreciated. They are someone who indicated that they won't be checking in until April 10th again, so providing them with a nudge on facebook to let them know the game started early would be awesome 🙂.

###Block Jah###

My initial thought too. Is voting to block yourself really any different from voting to lynch yourself?
Could this just be a “well this is temporary and seems relatively harmless when weighed against the village cred I could gain” scenario?
Makes me a little uncomfortable...

First off, it's a question about her logic that I would like her to answer, not suggesting an idea. Second I don't like mpm observation of AM and ziggy because I feel she's been around long enough to understand how AM can affect people, but not enough to lynch her for it. There's been a lot going on so I'm still observing. Thankfully turns out we only have to revere or block not both, which is my misunderstanding. I think it would be better to revere than block, but if you have stronger feels negatively than positively you should still vote for the sketchiest rather than leaving it up to "fate". That seems stupid.

But I didn't make a tie tho... I want to, but I alone am not enough lol

I would imagine they are approximately as different as blocking and lynching. 😉

But I still don't know why someone would want to do either, unless there is a hidden benefit.

###Block Jah###

I can see situations where this would be useful while being village so for me it's not a LIS rule. Not giving them village points for that but I understand.

 

[PippyPony]

Why wouldn't you try to get the sketchiest blocked? Why leave up to date when mod confirmed will happen anyways? That's just lazy play.

I already stated why. And for further clarification, if I have to pick one thing, I'm picking an upgrade over a block, every time.

Sorry this is confusing, and that my wording has not been better. Both a reverie or a block will happen as a result of day 1. However, each individual person is only voting for 1 or the other.

 

[grebes4lyfe]

I think it's also important to consider that whoever we are blocking, if they are a villager, has a pretty high chance of survival for the first 5 days.

Why do you think this? The rules just state that they lose their role ability for 5 turns. Not sure how this translates into them having a higher chance of surviving for this time too?

 

[Coopah]

I already stated why. And for further clarification, if I have to pick one thing, I'm picking an upgrade over a block, every time.

Right, but you state you want the village to have their info gathering role, so instead of trying to achieve that result you want to leave it up to the mods. Why? (disregarding the clarification I'm more interested in your logic)

 

[Coopah]

Why do you think this? The rules just state that they lose their role ability for 5 turns. Not sure how this translates into them having a higher chance of surviving for this time too?

It doesn't. Based on the explanation from the mods, there will be a low kill count the first few days

 

[muttmanager]

I don't think I backpedaled. Aggressive just means something different to me I guess. And to me, snappy is a fair interpretation of that interaction.

What did you think of Am vs. Ziggy?

In my opinion it felt aggressive, but not necessarily abnormally so. Their gameplay is just different than mine I guess. More direct. I don't think it is affiliation based really, and it doesn't fit with a wolf Ziggy I think.

It read playful/sassy and seems NAI. Both seem fine for now

 

[grebes4lyfe]

I get that part.
I just don’t get the logic behind her stating that whoever is blocked has a higher chance of survival.

RULES
An important note to those that do not enter the game until a certain time frame, you DO start the game, on day 1, as in the game and playing the game. Any revisions to this will occur after the end of day 1.

It may have no effect for some

 

[KCgophervet]

I get that part.
I just don’t get the logic behind her stating that whoever is blocked has a higher chance of survival.

Wolves probably less likely to target someone who has no ability or is outright blocked from using it for first 5 days; alternatively if they are a wolf maybe less likely to be lynched because buying village cred by being blocked. I could buy either scenario actually improving odds of survival.

If this was something you specifically wanted Coop to answer, my bad.

 

[ziggyandjazzy]

Why do you think this? The rules just state that they lose their role ability for 5 turns. Not sure how this translates into them having a higher chance of surviving for this time too?

Why did you like this post, then unlike it and ask me this like you're confused??

Wolves like to kill PRs, not vanillas. Assuming the blocking works like it is stated, someone who is blocked would be vanilla for 5 days. Why would wolves use a kill on this?
