Although I doubt the game will go beyond D7.

This man potatoes.

My god. This is the game damo has been waiting for.

Dream Traveler feels a bit too restrained.

Bo Sox's #33 might be scummy as it feels very real but should be a continuation of a joke. Or might be nothing?

Bunny feels very towny but not technically 100% sure rn.

Hi Control! Nice to meet you! If you want to pet my fur and feel how towny I am, buy me a drink…fingers look like carrots.


What’s your experience playing this game that gets you to make that your first post?

[BunnyGo]

Isn’t each one predetermined to explode at a different phase?

I thought they were each predetermined to activate at a different phase, upon which they have a 25% chance of exploding at the end of day/night.

No they have a 25 percent chance of exploding in any given phase, which has been pre-rolled for each potato.

Can you elaborate what this means?

Hello, Fellow Potatoes.

Actually why the cap F and cap P and is there a mistake in your signature/byeline or whatever it's called?

[damo666]

I will be unavailable in about 3 hours from now for about 20 hours.

Just saying.

[Jamiet99uk]

Potatoes with moustaches or bandanas are scum indicative.

Not having a themed avatar is lame-indicative.

[bozotheclown]

Yes?

Why?

To say it is to ruin it

Sorry, I don't see it.

What is your opinion on the SP holder revealing they had it during the phase after they pass it?

I usually capitalise "Fellow Town" so I maintained my tradition.

There was a typo in my signature, well spotted, Dam0, how observant. I have corrected it now.

[foodcoats]

hello

I have a potato

I don't think we should be revealing information until we see reason to.

Do you object to keeping track of the exploding potatoes? Do you see a way that revealing that information helps the mafia?

I think that as long as people make their potato proclamations after they've passed them, it is town optimal (we don't want scum influencing people's potato maneuvers). But I'm pretty sure mass tater-toterring is the best play. That was my impression as soon as I read the setup. Any time there are a bunch of roles or items, it is ideal for town to lock in truths about those entities.

[bozotheclown]

What if we just all gave our potatoes to one person and then they'd be guaranteed to die the next day?

Not based on my understanding of how the exploding potatoes work. If my calculations are correct, the chance of a potato explosion occurring in any specific phase never exceeds 56%, which occurs on N7.

You did not indicate if you were addressing town or mafia potatoes, though. Also, I am not sure the players are potatoes in this game.

Do you agree this should be done with the special potatoes as well?

I wonder why we differ. Did you allow for chance of SP save. I didn't.

[ND]

Is there any reason to keep the identity of the holders of regular potatoes hidden?

What if we just all gave our potatoes to one person and then they'd be guaranteed to die the next day?

Why do you think this is a good idea and how do you know select the person fairly. Same question for the new guy who posted this exact same thing basically above your post.

Oh excuse me for having fun with the flavour. I am so dreadfully sorry. Maybe I should fashion a tiny potato into a violin and play you the refrain from "Hearts and Flowers"?

I am not sure what the flavour characters of the players will be. We will find out in due course.

Anyway, I'll bbl b/c ND has some other things to do tonight.

Not sure if young person's shorthand or Porn Hub search history...

Lol
