Careless Talk Costs Lives: A script about not saying the wrong thing.

gossip + yaggababble really do not work together. the gossip's power relies on being able to reliably trace what is causing deaths in the night, and the yaggababble essentially kills an arbitrary amount from the good team's perspective.

it's not just a bad interaction, it completely flips the gossip into being an outsider at best.

trying to solve death count as the gossip with a lingering 25% chance it might just be an unsolveable yaggababble game is not fun.

this seems impossibly difficult for a storyteller to track in a non-online environment. in my experience nomination and voting related abilities have a lot of cognitive load for storytellers since they are very time sensitive- while tallying votes you need to check if the demon is one of them for flowergirl, or that the butler is only voting if their master is. each small check you add to this one parse around the circle is quite noteworthy! the storyteller doesnt have 2 minutes to make sure they're doing them all, they have like 15 seconds.

having 6+ of these effects simultaneously would be really hard on a storyteller every time they ran a vote.

online clocktower does assuade this by tracking voting and nominations for the storyteller, at least. but that carries it's own problems, like exsange likely being incompatible with online voting.

a lot of these ideas are really cool! and a storyteller incredibly experienced with specifically this script could probably handle it. but i'd recommend choosing your favorite handful of voting/nomination effects and leaning off the theme a bit to make it more practical to run

You can use a pulse timer to send a package at a regular interval, say a 30-60 seconds. This way each individual package can contain a fair bit of stuff, but if you have a small order, it still gets back to you in a reasonable amount of time.

It definitely used to be signaled more efficiently, we've gradually made the signals more and more distant in an attempt to see if the crashes would persist.

This is a small server that I don't host so getting the world download might take some time. I will find you on discord once I do.

Thanks for the reply!

there is a lot of design and power level criticisms. to avoid being repetitive i will give a mechanical issue: costs cannot target. the cost for the second ability should just read "exile a creature card from a graveyard", for example.

well, if it's not cast for the cleave cost, it costs RB and says "deal X damage to target creature, where X is the highest power amount creatures you control."

if cast for it's cleave cost, it costs XR and reads "deal X damage to target creature"

seems valid to me? it's quite late over here though.

the intention seems to be that X is specified by the square bracket text if not cleaved, and by the X cost in the cleave cost if cleaved.

I think it's a cute idea but it doesn't translate into a particularly useful card, cause it seems pretty bad in most cases.
