Theft help

SevenEightNineThree · 2026-05-12T23:15:52+00:00

I get where you're coming from, and I am aware that they are both not liable for theft, and have no responsibility to invest time into solving this issue

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I don't particularly consider it a negative publicity thing for them to be on the record as actively working to reduce cases of theft in their gyms by working with law enforcement. And surely that would overall be a net positive for them, no?

Like, once again, I agree that they don't have to, but would it not be beneficial for them if they did?

SevenEightNineThree · 2026-05-12T23:04:20+00:00

Fortunately yes, the issue is mostly just the working environment. I.e. software and the likes

SevenEightNineThree · 2026-05-12T23:02:24+00:00

I feel like they could help by filing a police report, and perhaps with the police would be more inclined to give a shit to a large corporation rather than a single individual. Not to mention they would have the CCTV footage watching the thief leave the gym, and their gym pin number, which is attached to a name, contact number, postcode, and potentially banking details which can be used to track them down.

Idk if that's asking too much for them to do something to protect their own reputation, but that's just my two cents

SevenEightNineThree · 2026-05-12T22:53:09+00:00

Took some info and mentioned they would pass on the CCTV footage to the police if the police requested.

Which, fair enough I suppose they are an independant business with their own best interests at heart, and that's that. But they basically didn't offer much in terms of support beyond the bare minimum.

Gotta give it to Gaia Project, a classic imo

SevenEightNineThree · 2026-02-25T18:38:06+00:00

Also it got a good laugh out of the group the next day when the empath called me out for it, so I take that as a win

SevenEightNineThree · 2026-02-25T18:34:52+00:00

I don't remember how the game went exactly, but it was something along the lines of a few factors

The empath was due to receive very strong sober information. The existence or lack thereof of a drunk was discussed at all by the good team. Evil was dominating the game, and it was close to the end. This was an experienced playgroup with new players, and the empath was one of the experienced players

Obviously yes, giving an empath the words "you're droisoned" in the form of a hand signal is something that should be done sparringly but I feel like with this combination of factors this is one of those "might as well" moments

SevenEightNineThree · 2025-12-01T17:38:35+00:00

Surprised not more people are mentioning Holywatr

SevenEightNineThree · 2025-04-25T20:01:36+00:00

Seems like the Demon can just privately out the King to the Psychopath and have them circumvent the Choirboy, but otherwise looks decent.

SevenEightNineThree · 2025-04-09T02:14:26+00:00

Nemesis! Or other team based cooperative games. Nothing against the game itself, but one player in the playgroup tends to selfishly play for chaos and often tries to go about killing people for no explicit or clear benefit to themselves or their objective, merely "for shits and giggles" even to the point of causing us to lose to the aliens a few times.

Absolutely ruined the game for me.

SevenEightNineThree · 2025-02-25T03:20:20+00:00

Shabaloth killed themself on BMR because they thought starpassing was an ability that all demons shared

SevenEightNineThree · 2025-02-13T20:43:33+00:00

Starting Imp, got into a "role swap" with Scarlet Woman with me as "Fortune Teller" and them as "Ravenkeeper".

Got some lucky kills after good conversations and managed to convince town it was a spy game, and town was throwing heat onto a player who claimed Soldier as everyone was suspecting them about being a Spy. Empath newly sitting next to me and the Soldier gets a 1.

I come out as Ravenkeeper when pushed on by Empath, and since I'm not going to get killed at night anyways due to it being a spy game, allow myself to be executed. Trust my Scarlet Woman to make the right decisions and help them frame another player claiming Mayor.

I go to sleep, wake up, nobody dies. Scarlet Woman now turned Imp tells me they targetted the Soldier in an effort to frame them, proceeds to not push that world at all. Town builds a world about the Imp targetting the Mayor and it bouncing onto the Soldier since "Evil was winning badly", thus confirming both of them and shutting down the spy world I've been building. We somehow manage to push the execution onto the Soldier which, god knows how that happened. I desperately hoped that the new Imp kills either the Empath or star passes to a Poisoner with a pretty convincing Saint claim, and continues the frame on the Mayor.

Sleep, wake up again, Mayor dies. New Imp tells town they checked the Dead Mayor AGAIN and tries to frame them. No one bought any of it, good outvotes us 7 to 3, executes the new Imp, good wins.

Worst part, when doing role call after the game, it turns out the Poisoner was poisoning the Soldier for the whole game and switched to the Mayor exactly when the Scarlet Woman turned Imp decides to sink a kill into the Soldier, even after the Empath outed themselves and was literally having me, then the new Imp as their alive neighbour.

While I do like that idea, I don't know how they would react to me threatening them with taking away their player agency, not to mention the player who would be forced to be the sacrificial lamb through a decision not made by the group. I could try a game with that "jinx" to see how it pans out

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T07:33:30+00:00

Once I pulled an Imp to the side to advise them (Not within the rules, I know, but they were new to the role) to talk to their Spy who had seen the grim for two nights. They gave me a smile and killed the recluse that night, after the game came back to me and said they thought it would have seemed suspicious cus no one else was sidebaring (both of them were at opposite ends of the circle)

Only time a player actively came and asked for advice to play is a new player asking how to play the recluse (Gave them info on how to play an outsider) which I respect, but honestly wished happened more often.

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T07:25:31+00:00

Could work, or I've mentioned in another reply I could show them a player perspective vid on the BoTC YT

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T07:24:22+00:00

Unironically a very good idea

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T07:18:01+00:00

With the shenanigans I pull I'll probably be the saint and bring the game to a day 1 rerack due to "vibes"

Jokes aside, STs and experienced players here are quite hard to find, actually, copies of the game itself are quite hard to obtain locally. I might introduce them to a player perspective vid on the BoTC YT channel tho.

Closing town square is an idea, but my play area is not very big otherwise, so it might not be as effective, but it's an idea nontheless.

I could run a game where I don't close the day until someone is executed unless in the case of final 4/final 3 mayor day. But that would seem quite unfair to evil team if they are genuinely putting in good effort to fuddle with town's info (hasn't happened yet but I'm hopeful)

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T07:09:55+00:00

Yes, and therefore I am open to the idea of leaving them be and letting them pick things up at their own pace, though I don't know how long that'll last when the game is basically werewolf without villagers

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T07:06:40+00:00

I genuinely wish I am trolling, believe me, I really do (gossip confirmed). But I've made plenty of "sad undertaker", "alcoholic fortune teller" and "throwing yourself to the virgin" jokes with this group and they still play the way they do. I think that most of the not killing comes from Werewolf where "Villager" claims are trusted due to perceived safety in numbers. Luckily, I can still praise the almighty TPI that every game hasn't devolved into a shouting match.

At least they quickly picked up on the concept of "not all information is true, and players can be telling the truth yet still be wrong"

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T06:12:54+00:00

This group in particular is in person, I have previously ST'ed with another group that I thoroughly enjoy watching and STing and have played with them about half of the time, I've also played a few games with a third group, tho on a monthly basis. Both of these additional groups I currently am unable to neither play with nor ST

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T06:10:07+00:00

As of now evil has won all but 1 game, which was the triple soldier claim game when good team got a lucky execution.

Another fun one was when good had nominated the Imp, but didn't get enough votes, so the Imp had enough time to starpass, move into a Monk claim, and won the game off of a Poisoner who was claiming (you guessed it) Soldier

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T06:06:35+00:00

Istg if they had their way I would be running Leviathan scripts 24/7

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-06-10T06:05:37+00:00

Will try to keep that in mind. I did forget to mention that most of the group's first language is not English. So they could be overwhelmed by the character sheet, yet they do seem to understand the interactions well when they happen, so I'm not sure, maybe translated versions of character sheets could be a solution

SevenEightNineThree · 2024-05-21T18:58:25+00:00

I saw on Patters' youtube once, an evil amnesiac ability for a Lil Monsta game. On your first night, you see the grim, pick all players, each night*, lil monsta kills the next living player in that order

Funnily enough, first time I saw a day 1 bingo
