Behind the Masks: Ides of Insanity (LITTEN-THE DOG WINS!)

I would appreciate it some of the more passive classes were taken out like Gardener and Solder the more I think about these classes - Gardener is strong in the end game but it wasn’t really fun to play before then, and even then it takes zero skill to successfully give someone a flower each night

Just for the record:

Investigator makes hypothetical challenges and knows the true results of them. Others do not get to see these hypothetical challenges.

Professor is my bae. I’m in love.

Actor gets to guess at the roles of dead people. And can become one of them they got correct once a game.

Necro gets to use the abilities of the first 5 dead players, knowing what they were. But has horrifically low positions otherwise.

Like if we do a 30+ players sized game then Necro probably ain’t getting out of bottom 10 on both lists.
Maybe on one, if being generous

how does it survive end game then

It gets to use abilities from the first 5 dead.
Plus anyone guessed.

And they also can use the positions of the roles they use.
(They can only use 3 total abilities, but they know the roles of the first 5 dead)

So for 1 cycle, you can basically ‘become’ the blackmailer.

necro poisoner + actor poisoner + thief poisoner sounds like a fun time

No
It reveals the Professor is still alive every time
Same with Royal vote
Those need to be private

I’m trying to remember what happened when I played as necro.
It was a team game and I was on a team with the CJ

But yeah it was horrible to play as because challenges felt like suffering

In a big BtM presumably Thief would only transform once all plate roles are dead
Or 2/3 depending on the count of them

I’ve played a game once with ONUW rules.
A bigger list with 3 roles left out.

Went great for me because I rolled the Thief
But poisoner never rolled, so I knew instantly it was one of the 3 exclusions
(Plus votes, poison and other stuff did damage instead of killing outright. Thief-Poisoner dealt more damage than original Poisoner)

I see
I know this probably doesn’t excuse my betrayal in your eyes - but the reasoning I did gun for you that hard was because I was afraid of you surpassing everyone in positions and I actually didn’t have any real allies besides you before that time point, and I was just a gardener, so I had zero chance of surviving if you managed to ally with half the game which is why I talked to Nerbins/Hippo, because I felt like I could trust them even if they did talk to you

They just so happened to be poisoner and mystic

I didn’t realize though that you…legitimately didn’t actually try to ally with anyone unless they came to you. I freaked out over nothing there.

I was Makoto, the Ultimate Thief.
Not quite sure that’s how danganronpa went but it was close enough, I guess.
Also not sure Makoto switched instantly to poisoning.

Yeah
Also presumably any roles reliant on others (Soldier is reliant on MAA, Thief is reliant on Poisoner) they’d transform instantly without knowing

It doesn’t in particular excuse it.
It does explain it somewhat though so I can appreciate your provided explanation.

But yeah, I never did actually try to ally with anyone. But I like having friends so it was nice ^^
We learn by playing and now you know better for future stuff

Soldier ain’t reliant on MAA.
Because Soldier also protects from Poisoner (and also Thief turned Poisoner)

The Star-Crossed Lovers role though assumedly would become vengeful lover if the other didn’t roll though I suppose.

Also fwiw I did make the group with the intention of rallying against you because I originally thought that you tried to kill those people. When I learned that they told you their roles, and that the council happened to be focusing on guessing nerbins/hippo…I thought that if I didn’t get guess immunity I would have probably been shot by the council to because you were in it and knew my role

I learned shortly after that this was probably not the case, but by then I already created a group against you and it felt like a good shield

Yes but (my bad for not making this clear) my idea for New Soldier makes it inherent the gun from MAA under certain conditions
So if MAA doesn’t roll…
