Dont do that. Mrand seems to be trying to steer the village, but we dont know that redwill is following the lore exactly.

Now i will wait while mrand gets all pissy that i dont trust him.

Im sure its important, but trusting it being word for word from it instead of paying attention to how people are playing is dangerous. Just my experience from doing war games "based" on other things.

Just my opinion. I dont trust mrand, and his push on it bring exactly like lore is part of it.

Thats true, but I have modded with him before and believe its very possible he is following it closely but deviating slightly to leave some surprises for people. Seems like him and his normal chaos model

Here's the thing, obhave. Understanding the source material makes the game easier to understand, so that the focus can be placed on players' actions.

If we're not all on the same page lore-wise, paying attention to how people are playing isn't going to mean much because different people are going to have different interpretations of everything. Then, when something like this day/night phase comes up, time is wasted explaining what it all means rather than actually playing the game.

The source material is definitely important to how this particular game is supposed to be played. If people can come to even a basic understanding of the source material (all of what I know has been taken from Google/Wikipedia), the game can run much smoother.

And by "different people/different interpretations", I'm referring to the whole color issue.

Aside from the reds (since baddies are always red), I don't think color means anything in this game except to separate factions from each other. Zaro's faction is an odd blue color. Dagny's faction was dark green. Slappy's faction is yellow. Mine is orange. It largely means nothing, aside from the potential Union.

So I am the person MWB said I was. My observations:

1. I have no idea what is happening. I've never read the books and you guys are nerds.

2. MR is unquestionably on the edge if not already over a malkameltdown.

3. The upside is that he's called shad an idiot probably 15 times, and everytime he does, I laugh and I laugh.

4. lynch Mrandall :pop:

Slappy, my faction was the one that saw you and put your name out there. Not MWB.

Shouldn't the merge of the yellow and blue make green?

A lot of what Mrand makes sense to me. I don't know what the secondary requirement is for my house to win

Saying that, I will lynch BigMck.

Can someone color?

Wow, a newby jumping on the bandwagon garners an immediate yellow from Mac5155.

Hope the color is correct.
