@Snide that's a neat role! I think I'm going to steal it in future games If you want to reuse the catgirl, here's what I'd recommend: Have one catgirl in the mafia and another in the town, so that the "catgirl" result isn't alignment-indicative Give the town catgirl an ability beyond the ...

Confirmed. @Moody - Your readlist confused me. Despite that, I think you had a startlingly solid grasp of the game from early on. We were lucky that we were able to drop you quickly. I look forward to seeing you around! Confirm. @Bessie - Hi bessie. Most of what happened this game between us was le...

Make the mafia catgirl unable to do the faction kill every night unless they're the last mafia left so that it's not too overpowered Personally I'd avoid this one. Too heavy handed. A ninja godfather like that usually is likely to do the kill anyways. it's something i'm trying, because i hate doing...

I submitted the "Ghost of Christmas Never" role. I'm sure wam or seven will post all the roles in full eventually. Fun little puzzle in the meantime. Bessie <- ??? (WMU?) | JoAT | ??? Boomfrog <- ??? (Bessie?) | Watcher | Bestest Boy Heury <- Boomfrog | RC+Watcher+Tracker (But one is wron...

moody's role (given by madge) - Christmas Cherry Power: "with a cherry on top" is a popular turn of phrase that implies a cherry is something that is quite good at enticing people to do their best, and as a result, you are very good at motivating, so you are a motivator (https://wiki.mafia...

I should claim cop with red on one of you because I was 100% sure. Honestly, that probably wouldn't have worked in the end. Osie would have flipped catgirl, I (and maybe the rest of the town) would know you couldn't possibly have gotten that result, and I would think you were scum bussing your team...

You know some of them. I know now more than enough :mrgreen: My scumgame plan is pretty simple but not that easy to distinguish. Essentially a rule to follow may just be that I shouldn't be alive in XyLO as either alignment. I specifically take inspiration for scumgames from: https://cdn.discordapp...

I would add i understood the role i received is made by you and I don't know how come the townie voting me didn't get such a simple thing because you almost said it. Your initial plan was to ML him and it was so transparent. Oh yeah, that was a bit of a misstep tbh; I needed to go for one of you or...

Who the hell makes a no spoiler reading role????

Oh that was me, inadvertently.

Secret Santa So it has to be Osie. The meh D2 any how his analysis didn't make sense but he's voting that way anyway was terribly scummy. Also not being present in thread to help WMU means he didn't care at all about the elimination. There were a lot of signs D1 but I chalked them up to Osie being ...

Osie well played you convinced me in day 1 the worst needs time and that was my fault. He was pure scum and I let myself fooled :) I came to the truth and i am sure a player who knows me would understand me. If we weren't both scum, yeah... My language barrier didn't help me like it never helps, al...

Boomfrog's role (given by ???) -

Bestest Boy, and can watch one person or once per game watch everyone but get mixed up results and essentially lose my nightly watching

Heury's role (given by ???) - Vision of a Christmas Never: - Night Action - You target a player and learn all sorts of useful info about what they might have done this Night phase. But not about what they actually did. You learn three pieces of information: Their Role Name, Who they Targeted, and Wh...

Btw, @TSS this isn't a criticism but just info for next time. I don't think anyone has explained to you "standard endgame strategy" but it's very important to discuss a lot before voting at xyLo. You want to be 100% solid on who you think is town and who you think is scum and all your tow...

Oh and if I can do a 95000-character quote wall as scum, I wonder what I can get myself to do as town.

Congrats scumteam, that was an obliteration. Also well done bessie, boom, and WMU for figuring out the team at various points of the game. As I said last game, bessie really ought to start being considered an S-teir player. This is the 3 or 4th game in a row where she had 1-2 scum pinned Day 1. I h...

True.

Bessie was too much of a loose cannon and I was worried that she was just a tracker, not a JoAT.

Though I also aimed to control the thread flow and match the solving of my town game (the latter of which I usually can do pretty well as scum).

Very well played scum. Woof bessie – Labrador retriever and hot fudge sundae aficionado. BoomFrog – Is BoomFrog. WakeMeUp1337 – I think she is trying to solve the game, and that she has made many valid points. Madge – Isn’t BoomFrog, Is Madge. The Snide Sniper – Placeholder, he told us pre-game tha...

So i am alive because I had bad reads and votes. That doesn't mean I am scum, that means I am pocketed by scum and I have wrong reads. So true, but also: This makes zero sense. Beyond the basic logistics, since when would you ever be kept alive to XyLO in that world? I legit was considering killing...

I really want to know what Osie's "oof" at EoD1 meant... Pre-flip association in the way you did can be used to set up a dichotomy. I feel like you are implying more with "A dichotomy" then I'm understanding. Do you mean it's potential that I as scum would use it to pin up two t...

Apparently Heury ALSO got deceived by it, on Night 1.
