And that was an ancillary to this:

Right now I'm leaning heavily towards Majiffy.

I think so, but there are avenues to rationally explaining it as otherwise; and I disagree with the strategy anyway.

[borealis]

He is. It looks like Carlsson wants you moved to card 2 quickly, Jerome. I'm not sure why but I'm not sure it's a scum motivation, because if he's scum he's being very obvious about it.

Last game we had a resurrection motif, iirc, town players were flipped and role revealed, and scum flips were revealed in such a way you couldn't tell them from town.

[borealis]

Well, let's even things up a bit.

Are there reasons why Jerome and Carlsson are still at the Desert Prison [Cid's Junk]?

[borealis]

They forgot to ask for a move or they are both thieves?

[borealis]

There was literally nothing I could buy at Cid's JS.

Same here. You're a black one and I'm a white one, obviously.

[borealis]

Yuppers.

[borealis]

Everything is very very expensive except really just fireworks.

Gonzo left out the gil purse that magically makes infinite gil.

Last time it wasn't revealed at first, but later in the game.

[spruce]

There obviously has to be one or more.

[spruce]

Could be the gil pouch or chest I'd guess.

[borealis]

Well I've not seen anything hopeful yet and I can't afford most of the fun things and frankly don't know what some of them will actually do.

[spruce]

So b, do we need to talk about game flavour mentioning the "dark sorceress Edea" and her use of "black magic"?

You'd think it would be relevant, but it appears to be just flavour. Our moves are public knowledge, and who else would need to go shopping in the places we went shopping?

I suppose it's plausible the players who did not move felt they'd reveal something by moving, but that just puts them behind on acquiring useful stuff.

[borealis]

Meaning to say - regardless of character, I am town and in fact my character is described in glowing terms as earnest, honest and growing through life experiences.

[spruce]

I believe you. You got an angle on rach or OP8?

[borealis]

I was just looking at rach's posts. Specifically, that she claims to have moved to her location at random, which suggests she doesn't know what she can and can't buy, maybe?

[borealis]

She's with OP8 at the Potion shop.

[borealis]

Okay, quick reread of OP D1:

Spells can be learned by different classes. White Mages/White Sorcerers/White Knights can cast white spells [WHT], Black Mages/Dark Sorcerers/Dark Knights can cast black spells [BLK], Red Mages can cast any spell. Spells are learnt by purchasing tomes.

So other players may be Knights or Red Mages.

Also read some of the flavour and figure scum might be Edea, her conflicted reformed Knight, and the monster armoured thing she conjured up from the outer dark or wherever. I am not familiar with this flavour, obviously.

[andrewclunn]

I think I need to clarify my plan. I want us all to go to our second cards at approximately the same time. This way we maximize the time town has to purchase stuff and get a mechanics edge over scum. For this reason I am specifically wanting to delay pushing anyone to their second card while multiple players are still at full life. And on that note:

##vote OP8##

[andrewclunn]

Another thought, should we share what's in each store publicly? I have no doubt that scum (again, I assume there are two based on the flavor text) are sharing this info, and thus figuring out what is worth purchasing twice as quickly.
