Carnivale Game Thread

[The Curious Squid]

Sounds like you were visited by a prostitute.

But how does that effect the game? I didn't even think about it yesterday because I just assumed it was part of the background story or something, what does it mean?

[irretating]

I don't see the big need to discuss mantis' role in such detail...it seems like a distraction from scum hunting.

Morticia, are you going to participate today?

Where is glogbott?

Ani, what sort of recruitment do you mean?

[charlou]

higgs, that's a strange response to the OP... isn't it far more likely our vig killed our seer?

Oh.. and squid.. you have some explaining to do with your post in the PG...

Do we get another PM with a description of what happens at night like we did with night 0?

I take it from the description that Mantis was scum as well?

What do you want me to explain? Oblivion's description of Mantis wasn't clear about whether or not (s)he was scum, turns out it's even more confusing than that. If you're talking about the PM question, I got a little description of what I was doing on night0 at the start of the game that turned out not to come into the game at all and was wondering if I would get something else last night telling me what I was supposed to have been doing, If I'm allowed to post the PM here I will (only if Oblivion says it's ok though)

I've reread a lot of the Day 1 thread since Charlou has started typing and possibly fucked up again, if she can't explain this then my suspicions are back with her again

Does it automatically end after day 1?

Is there another way the restriction can be lifted?

There are a few ways of looking at this, either you forgot you said it didn't end after day 1 automatically and have just fucked up.

Or you're claiming that the condition to remove it has been met, if the condition was something to do with Mantis' "enabler" role and the person putting the restriction on you no longer has the power to do so then why didn't you mention that instead of just going straight into the conversation again as if it was just a day 1 restriction?

Another possibility is that Zigmen's seer role was somehow blocking you, I don't see how that could happen.

Care to comment?

No problem. I haven't fucked up .. as I said in my first post in this day 2 thread, my restriction has been lifted. This is as a result of the actions of night one. You were correct about my character on day 1 .. I'm Apollonia. I was catatonic until Zigmen/Sofie's death and only had telepathic ability. During the night I learned the result of Zigmen/Sofie's night one view and the posting restriction has been lifted. I'm now vanilla town. Unless irre has a don type role (scum, but views as town), Zigmen/Sofie's view cleared her as town.

The type that changes inn'cent to scum.

It stopped you from performing a night action, if you had one. You and mono are on the same team, I'm just not sure which team that is.

[The Curious Squid]

Why didn't you say this earlier?

That really changes the game balance.

How so? I only know what was implied in my PM.

[mononoke]

what did the pm say mono?

Basically i was visited by an amorous visitor. So that's either the scum or town blocker, probably not the seer.

I've just reread the PM I got yesterday and realised that it's the same thing Mono is talking about

"Last night you had a delightfully amourous and skilled visitor who kept you...um...up all night. You were too busy to sleep, much less go wandering about the carnivale grounds."

I didn't realise this was a specific PM to me and that not everyone had similar descriptions, what does it mean that I got it yesterday and Mono has it today?

posting the exact content of your PM will get you godkilled

Zigmen viewed me, huh. Fair enough.

I mean, if its a recruiting game, then there should be fewer scum to start with. Maybe mantis' role was important to scum, after all.

[mononoke]

ok one other thing a night zero prostitute sounds like a scum blocker. It's not like the town blocker is going to stop the scum from killing on night zero.

I just know my alignment can't be changed. I can be killed by scum though if they want.

[charlou]

Why didn't you say this earlier?

I was waiting on confirmation from oblivion that I didn't inherit Zigmen/Sofie's seer ability. I didn't. I was waiting to learn if it was safe to out .. a person with seer ability does not want to make it known to scum, especially so early in the game.
