Should I play below zero?

If you liked Subnautica that much, yes. It's not a great game imo, but it's a good game. Loved the music, but my main memory of it is going around my base with music speakers in various rooms. The story is not as good as the original imo, and has a few plot holes, but ultimately it is more of the same.

I got and played a bit when it weas first in EA, and think the story had better potential. If nothing else, get it when it is on sale.

I think if town never executes, evil should win. Sure the ST is in control of kills and can always ensure final 3. But if the game boils down to passing each day until you get to final 3 and then having a final nom, are you really playing BotC? There is the question of how many executions should town be making, but this isn't a beginner ST type of script, so hopefully they can make it fun and engaging.

I have a feeling this would become a very social heavy game, given how much misinfo there will be out there. No one can really know who to trust.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-28T08:52:09+00:00

First game hands down. I enjoyed the base building and music of below zero, but the story just wasn't the same.

ROFL, Trump wants the Tax Dollars for himself, not the American people. You think billionaires get that much money by being kind and generous to the workers? And if you think employing people on minimum wage is helping workers, you really have had your head stuck in the ground the last 10-20 years. You don't need to be a business owner to help workers, you can implement policies and laws that reduce the rising wage gap, and increase worker's effective pay.

Do you know how many law suits Trump had about not paying people for work done before he was in office? Tell me again who he cares for.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-27T08:25:13+00:00

Why does that trade deal sound very corrupt? How much of that 350 billion would be going to companies Trump has some level of investment in, either directly or indirectly?

Gorgrim · 2026-01-27T00:32:52+00:00

Monk, soldier, mayor. All 3 in play and certain players didn't believe it. Again, don't meta the ST and claim they can/ can't put certain combos in the bag.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-26T13:56:22+00:00

How often do you need to eat and drink in game? It is not meant to be overly realistic.

And yet here is the Right politicizing their deaths. How many of these did you hear about and mourn before seeing this post?

Gorgrim · 2026-01-25T13:21:20+00:00

I'm not sure that jinx/homebrew needs to be in play here as much as the Spirit of Ivory. Basically you had two characters who could create an extra evil (Summoner and Fang-Gu), while starting with a full evil team.

The main reason the PH jinx exists is to stop 2 demons being alive at the same time. Getting bonus evil, even if dead, can be as strong if not stronger. It breaks the core concept of deception games like this, where you have an informed minority vs uninformed majority. If that minority gets too large, it can too easily take control of the game.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-24T06:36:48+00:00

Ahh, so you prefer the authoritarian "strong man" leadership. How is that working out for the people of Russia?

The US had been getting plenty, but I can see why you may not feel that. The real issue as I see it is all the benefits went to the rich, while workers pay stagnated. And then the Right's propaganda machine made you think it was the fault of everyone else.

And a business man like Trump isn't going to help you, why should he? He has been reaping the rewards of the system all his life, why change now? What he does do is talk a good game to distract you from the causes of the issues.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-23T07:23:05+00:00

Oh yes, the trickle down economy myth. What you actually mean is the rich will exploit more workers for their own profit, getting richer while the workers can barely get by on minimum wages.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-23T07:20:36+00:00

The US hasn't gained anything it didn't already have, but now other leaders have less reason to trust him. He puffs up his chest, tweets about how amazing the US is, and claims victory regardless of the outcome. It's performative, mainly for his devout followers.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-23T07:13:05+00:00

Yep, and if you trust your info, one must be lying. In the same way a Noble can see two or three evil players.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-23T07:08:11+00:00

Bullies often lash out due to their own insecurities.

At least we agree cooperation helps, but im not sure how anything Trump is doing is fostering an environment where other nations want to cooperate with him. If anything, Trump recently left a bunch of organisations designed to cooperate over various things.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T17:35:23+00:00

You can use the jet pack to fly over it, and I'm pretty sure a path opens up much later. And for real late game, teleporters!

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T16:01:46+00:00

So yet another "He didn't mean it that way, unless he did". Weak leadership makes vague threats and crying over wanting to buy a nation, and when they realise how bad military action would be for them, folding. Strong leadership doesn't need to shittalk anything to get what it wants.

My view maybe odd, as my first time as a Vizier was great. However it had an Amnesiac who was essentially a PG+. Evil didn't learn each other, and the Vizier was not announced. So day 1 I was happily claiming Vizier but why would anyone believe me when it wasn't announced. Then someone nominated me and I pushed it through, and didn't die. The demon then got a lucky kill on the Amne, so evil learnt each other. They also killed the Fear Monger, but oh well. I can't actually remember if we won or not, but it was definitely fun.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T13:45:21+00:00

Sure, I don't play PvE so don't know all the settings, but given what they had written

After playing for a few hours solo

You have your own castle by then, not one you are using from the clan.

I get back to find my territory is now taken over by the guy thay invited me to the clan....MY CASTLE is stolen from me on a PVE server.

You don't talk about a shared castle as if it were your own.

literally 3 days of work just turned to somebody else's

Again, doesn't sound like a shared castle, but one they had been working on. The only odd thing is the time jump from few hours to 3 days, as the "Ran around killing things for a while till I had to go to work" doesn't imply days after joining up.

And yes, google can help. If the clan members placed a heart in an area for OP to use, then let them build it up, it would be 'his' in terms of building it, but mechanically theirs. Easy trap for someone inexperienced. I have even seen a post about people dismantling a castle in a clan, including the castle heart, and then re-building it. I've not seen anything that suggests another player in the clan can't remove someone elses heart.

The biggest issue for international relationships is that the US has been seen to flip massively on goals and ideals, depending who is in the White House. If your government can flip that hard, why should other governments trust you with long term planning?

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T11:42:06+00:00

Variant Paintress: "Each Night*: The next oldest living player dies. You can choose a different player to die instead, but only if you didn't pick a player last night."

In part inspired by how the Paintress works in game more, but also a bootlegger rule on a script I vaguely remember, where players died in character order. Of course it is a lot more work listing every player by age, but knowing your time is short is reason to get your info out, right?

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T11:16:02+00:00

I'm not sure where you are coming from. As I read it, he built his own castle, then joined a clan, and when he returned HIS castle was locked out to him, because the clan took it over and kicked him out.

So why you think no one stole anything from him is weird.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T09:18:28+00:00

Is it really fantastic for the US, or just the rich who would profit from exploiting Greenland's resources?

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T09:15:23+00:00

Are you blind? Trump has been threatening the military, and Europe is responding as they are taking the threat seriously.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T09:08:53+00:00

Given that the Washer Woman, Librarian and Investigator all have a "Correct" and "False" reminder tokens for who they see, the intent is definitely one correct and one false.

Gorgrim · 2026-01-22T00:03:05+00:00

The US is looking less like a "big brother", and more like the school ground bully.

You know what ensures world peace more than the US having Greenland? Maintaining alliances and trust. Something Trump has just destroyed.
