HALLOWEREWOLF - future is now

[idolpro]

[ You enter a room with paper sliding walls and tatami mat floors. The room is dark, dimly lit only by a screen on one wall emitting white noise. Tapping on it will dispel the static to show the word STEAL over a list of unit names, not including your own. Selecting one will black out the rest.

After you have completed your night action, the display will instead show the words WHO IS LYING? and a list of the unit names to choose from. You may vote for yourselves.

future is now is the thief. ]

Turn in a formal complaint. Maybe the next game will have characters more to your liking.

[scarvedforlife]

But at what cost!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Probably something you won't like.

Still willing to risk it?

[scarvedforlife]

Pass!

Particularly if they're going to make it as complicated as this.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .How is this complicated?

It's just a hidden identity game with role swapping.

[scarvedforlife]

That is an unnecessarily high number of roles and you know it is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Okay, okay.

Anyway, we need to pick a unit. And since we don't have any information - any will do. Do you have a preference?

A favorite unit for example. Or a least favorite.

[scarvedforlife]

Which unit is probably the least angry after that last game?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

☆ZRAEL, Heart Soldier Senshi, or Pep!Pep! as far as I can tell.

[scarvedforlife]

If we're still cultivating a positive relationship with Pep, then the first two would be better targets.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Seeing as Little☆Red and Angel had an... incident last game, that makes Heart Solider Senshi the best target.

[scarvedforlife]

The thieves targeting the heroes, quite the turnabout on a classic.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Yes I can imagine their self-righteous retorts now. Oh, the audacity.

[scarvedforlife]

What a blessing it is that our unit accessory is headphones.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Submitting the choice and looking at the result...]

Ha! I should have fucking seen that one coming.

[scarvedforlife]

So we need to make sure the target stays off our back, at the very least. And keep an eye on HSS to see who they're chatty, or pointedly not chatty, with.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Or try to get everyone to target Heart Soldier Senshi, since we know their loss means our victory.

[scarvedforlife]

Eh? Does it? I thought we just need all liars alive after becoming liars.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Exactly. But someone has to be voted off the island. And we know that Heart Soldier Senshi is a villager.

[scarvedforlife]

Hooo, not a bad idea. We've got to keep our push lowkey though, else we might get spotted for being suspicious ourselves.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

We should keep our story straight. What role do we want to claim?

[scarvedforlife]

Villager would be simplest. We don't have to keep in mind any extra abilities we should have with any other role. There's also multiple villagers; if we pick a role that should only have one unit in it, we become under immediate suspicion along with the other unit.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

That would be a good choice.

We could also claim to be the thief who chose not to take an action because odds are in favor of the villager team winning. It doesn't say in the rules, we HAD to take another role.

[scarvedforlife]

That depends on how believable it'd be that we, a unit that drank poison as a test, would be to do nothing during a game.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Shrugs]

I'll sell whatever you think people will buy.

Villager is probably the safest option. But also has suspicions of its own attached.
