yeah i
dont think very many people like this script

it’s fine with the right characters
but not very interesting to play and those characters are a hit and miss for most

That’s a shame. This script is specifically meant to show off the Organ Grinder for FOL play, hence the Monke theme… unless it isn’t in-play, which would be kinda hilarious.

mhm
but theres just a lot of weird combos and things and the town is pretty easy to find based off roles
and for town to play the setup for over 300 hours it needs to be indepth more

I disagree that Vortox + OG is a problem. It wasn’t my favourite choice of Demon, but it fixes the issue of votes being underwhelming or overwhelming by encouraging people to vote on at least someone during the day, whether it’s in play or not.
I’ll justify Courtier + Organ Grinder in that they can’t be fully confirmed (OG could’ve died and evil is bluffing, Imp could’ve starpassed, there might not even be one at all), and in order for a visible effect they’d still need to see if the OG activates D1. This is acceptable.
Gambler and Gossip aren’t technically confirmable either, with Legion’s multiple kills, and the latter can mess up the former. Even if dead players are probably good, which can be backed up by the Oracle, it’s not absolutely certain.

vortox with something that hides your votes is eh

but especially on this forum it doesnt work, and its most likely just going to end with evil winning early in the game if town isnt super coordinated, which they arent

there’s ways to figure this out, with the roles alive
especially when the noms end being a rather major clue

this relies on legion of all things
which in an organ grinder game wouldnt work

i think each interaction is individually passable
but holistically it feels like its held together with string

ā€œHello everyone, I am voting for these people.ā€ Coordinating votes should be far easier for Town in a longform game, imo. That’s just my impression, though.
Being able to mess with votes is to Evil’s advantage, but good players don’t have much of a reason to lie about this.

ā€œThis person claims Courtier drunking the OG… and the votes being shown is an observable effect that has occurred. The Courtier is either real, or lying and the OG is dead, or at least an evil is dead in practice, so they aren’t really confirmed at all.ā€
Real or opportunistic. And even if their ability is proven and lasts for three cycles, you might be hurting Town in the long run by hiding the Organ Grinder’s identity.

It could’ve been worse. The script was going to include an Engineer before it was scrapped.

it just doesnt work on here

there’s ways to figure it out by narrowing it down

Why doesn’t it work here?

Is this a bad thing?

when it has to be very specific interactions to happen
various things can cross it out and thus confirm the courtier

thats fair
i just dont see much compelling interactions to balance it out personally

although its very possible that i just dont see much compelling about the organ grinder a sa whole so that could be it
