At this point in time, I am more curious as to Niktor's, MUSKA's and Pariah's play style etc, even though it has been a long time, I do kinda have some ideas of how the others play.

Sadly, I think the proper archive of Paranoia Paradise is lost to time, so you'll just have to learn as we go given the lack of records. I will say that I do not hold to the self hammer policy that I had as an active player at Px2.

Personally, I am most suspicious at this moment of Garren's rather calm response to Tiny. Wants to be mad, but is torn on the issue of a new smiley. Too neutral for my blood. This is of course almost nothing to go on, but so far there is almost nothing to go on. So...

Vote: Garren

Vote: Popular pariah.

To start s counterwagon.

Just to get started before the 16.

Policy lynch.

To see whoever votes him and lynch that player if I dislike how he voted him.

I think my vote was because of one of these reasons.

I don't even have any passengers yet, though. I don't see the need to open a rival business.

I'll declare that I'm looking forward to playing this again, as it's been a while.
Other than that, you all seem suspicious to me!

Hey wait Neo's in this thing?

FoS: Neosilk. Because it's always Neosilk. Every single time. Guys like a magnet for being Team Mallet.

On another note kinda annoyed that my character doesn't have a fancy piece of headgear. If I understand my Touhou correctly that means I'm a bit character. Probably explains why my power is all kinds of 'meh'.

But at least there is the chance for some wild and crazy hair coloring, even if not everyone gets to have a funny hat.

I kinda forgot this started.

FOS Garren for what seemed to be casual fishing in his opening post.

There are hats involved in this? Why wasn't I designated a fancy hat?

~SE++

It's day one and no real discussion points have opened up. Trying to get the ball rolling by seeing if anyone has anything of value to offer may involve a little bit of fishing, but its very low on my list of things that I would deem suspicious at that point in the game.

Now, attacking someone over something like that, that is something I would deem suspicious.

Unvote; Vote: Storyteller

@Confused: Curious as to why you believe playstyles to be particularly relevant.

Oh yeah sure everyone gets a fancy hat in Touhou land. Just tell me your character name and I'll see what hat we have in store for ya!

...now, Storyteller, that was casual fishing.



From what I gather people put immense amounts of importance of how people played in previous games for the purposes of spotting inconsistencies in their style during this game. I, personally, don't subscribe to that logic but I can't say it's a bad methodology - especially early on when people haven't got a great deal to work with.

I'd say that's more like blatant fishing rather than casual fishing.

Wouldn't blatant fishing be 'Squinty tell me your power! Do it now!'?

At best with a characters name all I can try and out-guess the mod and determine what his power may be from the character he was assigned (assuming everyone power is indeed tied to the character they have been given). I seriously doubt Scarlet would be stupid enough to make all the bad guys in that particular game the Mallet-ers (we need a name for Mallet-Aligned team members FYI) - that would be far too easy.

You people don't know how to fish. You're not even baiting these lines.

Hey, we gotta start somewhere.
It seemed like a good hook.

That is blatant fishing. But, since I am "town" or whatever it is in this game, I feel obliged to answer and begin the game's first claiming.

Character Name: Sakuya Izayoi
Alignment: Gensokyo
Power: I can kill once per night

There. Day 1, there is a claim. I've had this role before, and I didn't use it well. So, maybe there's a doctor who can save me, but it seems like as good a time as any to try a new style in a mafia game. So.... yeah, anyone wanna bet I'll be dead by the end of Night 1?

Well, now that's cleared up, anyone wanna tell me what fancy hat I got?

~SE++

@Pariah: Kinda like what Garren said. To me, it is a little bit of knowing what to expect to.

@s_e: You don't need a hat when you are a silver-hair maid armed a knife and has awesome time manipulation powers. That aside, I guess you are already aware that you just painted a big red cross across your forehead.

I am confirming that I am alive and well and present in this game, however, @MOD: please note I ammmpving on Saturday. My activity will be minimal until sometime between Sunday and Tuesday, whenever I figure out where my laptop wound up in all these boxes.

Also, my NLP will be in effect this game.

Am I the only one who takes this as a joke each time?
