Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
@Portius: just out of curiousity, how many fae-producing Gods do you think are active? Do you know their names, if not who plays them?

I do know their names, I do not know their players. I think the design intention was that I can always protect them if I want to spend the immunities on it. There are two of them.
Any sufficiently advanced pun is indistinguishable from comedy.

Yeah no let's not share that. In the event his claim is true, it outs people that mafia could potentially target the same way Portius is saying he can target.
What do you expect will happen? Three fae producing gods will raise their hands and out themselves to back Portius up?

Assuming that's all true, I think it highly unlikely two separate killers assumed that the Meave were present and decided to attack them by that name, or that the mafia killer knew Krokano's name. Therefore at worst We have one, maybe two
I am torn. This is either the best bluff I've ever seen from a player in a game I'm active in, and Portius is going into the legend hall, or Othero's strangely strong passive power is a fabrication that's finally being brought to life.
I'd also like to just point out how low the probability of Portius' suggested idea is. He's saying all of the Soulless are serial killers who don't know each other. That means Portius on night 1 had a 1 in 19 chance of being picked, a Soulless can't pick himself. That then means that 2 Soulless, entirely independent of each other, happened to both pick the same person out of a pool of 19. Even factoring in the bias in mafia that's really low odds. Portius wasn't doing anything on night 1 to make himself a target. That's a 1/361 chance that both Soulless pick the same person.
I don't disagree that reputation carries a lot but, and no offense to Portius, I don't think he carries that reputation. If we're going straight off reputation then Sylandra, Shaddus, or Celina all seem like stronger targets for night 1.

I can confirm that only Shaddus targeted me night 1, if that's of any concern.

I'm kind of surprised at the number of people who have commented without voting. Come on people, either I'm lying or Portius is lying. This isn't something we should let pass us by.
And I won't be angry if you vote for me. Worst thing that happens is that I flip exactly as I said I would and Portius gets caught out in this gambit of his.

I'm marinating. In the middle of transport so haven't gotten to properly decide where to swing my vote.
I also have a gut feel that I don't know if I can trust or not, and want to reread the thread to verify it.
@Portius I don't suppose you'd have a win condition that reads differently than the standard townie one? On account of being Maeve rather than an Elder.

Hrmph. One of you two are definitely lying, and while something is definitely off aboutPortius, I absolutely do not trust the blase 'I don't care if you lynch me' line. For now, that tips the scale into Vote Othero... At least until I read through everything again and find out what's bugging me.
I'm tempted to say "let's just dump our votes on Othero or Portius" but the fact my previous gut feelings have been wrong, I don't trust myself this game anymore.
Too much tricky stuff. This game should have been labelled extra hard. X.x
Well, I said My vote was better sitting than not used, so I'm siding with Portius. I just don't get the incredibly strong passive power being deemed okay while the three-shot immunity that can be actively passed to Those who thematically fit with it or used to keep Maeve safe is getting called off.
Unvote Vote: Othero
Note, this isn't me vouching for Portius' confirmed innocence, because Maeve has multiple "evil" incarnations. This is me just feeling His explanation more than Othero's.

Therefore at worst We have one, maybe two Traitors who target by name rather than player?
Is that still a concern?
A warlock was easier to figure out.

Vote portius
Sorry, but it all sounded like nonsense to me.
