[Magmar]

Umm.

*casts a spell! a purple spell!* oogedy-boogedy!

...so do we... vote... or somethin'? Like try to pick out the knowing people by randomly accusing them?

[Plantae]

That would be the objective, yes.

[Magmar]

Hey, i like asking these questions in public to clarify rules. Can we go neutral? It's way too early to cast spells and stuff and figure out peoples alliances (or lack thereof).

[Magmar]

*Edit, I mean it's way too early to know and be able to accuse.

[Plantae]

Neutral is allowed, though not twice in a row, as it was with all the other variants.

[The Blue Avenger]

I'm going to go neutral for now.

[Ace64]

Neutral, I guess.

[Dark-San]

[b][size=3] *Looks around*

Neutral.

[Weasel Overlord]

[color=silver]Neutral for meeee!! *waves hands around as she casts an illusion* whee!

[Heald]

Neutral for now.

[Magmar]

Neutral! We all know what happened last time I threw a random vote first round ^_^;

[Ace64]

Actually, I have a question, and I'll feel really dumb if everyone else knew but me... in the rules, it says "players are encouraged to draw from these example illusions if they are having trouble creating their own."

So my question is basically- We can create our own illusions, right? If one proved to be to over-the-top than the final say lies with you, right?

[Magmar]

And can we do similar to other people? Like could I make Ace64 appear to be a Vampire with DD boobs made entirely out of post-it notes?

And could I turn myself into Anthony Rapp? I'd enjoy that... ^_^; XD

[Plantae]

As it has been a clear twenty-four hours, we will move forward on to Turn 2 at this time.

You may create your own illusions, yes, and that is really the point of the game: creativity. The final say on how many points an illusion cost and if it is allowable lies with me.

You could make the aforementioned changes to Ace64's figure, Magmar, but such an illusion would have no effect on game-play and would cost no points unless you used it via private message and specified that it did and I accepted it. In this case, however, the point would be lost as no private message given illusion is revealed to any player but its caster unless it is detected. So if someone was looking at Ace64's new "form," then they would think those had always been there.

In fact (let this be clear): I give all of you full permission to throw out illusions like Magmar's example, that is, that have absolutely no effect on game-play and cost no points; just make sure they do not offend anyone. These can be done in the thread, however. Reserve my private message inbox for illusions with an actual game effect, not you turning yourself into Anthony Rapp.

[Dark-San]

[b][size=3] It is already very late here (Around 11 pm) and nobody had posted their first vote. And hey, I cannot wait any longer since I have another 5 more hours of sleep and later report back to camp.

Since I cannot post any neutral vote (I already posted one at Turn 1) as well, so I will randomly throw in my first vote on ...

*Rolls dice*

... Mega Horny. Sorry dude, but this is just a random pick.

[Ace64]

The problem with this game is that there's no real way to determine knowing from unknowing. Unless you can come up with an illusion that somehow detects it- but I just don't know.

Holding off on voting for now...I'll probably change my mind in a little bit.

[Dark-San]

[b][size=3] Yeah, that is the problem. Mirage is one hell of a confusing game. Everyone has their fair chance of putting up an illusion as well as their fair chance to vote.

I'm sticking to my vote.

[Weasel Overlord]

[color=silver]Hrrm...Also voting Mega Horny. Too early to say who anyone is, but why not take a stab int' dark?

(ps: come online, Jobes!! *pokes*)

[The Blue Avenger]

I'll vote Mega Horny as well.

I also cast an illusion to turn Magmar into a vampire with DD boobs made entirely out of post-it notes.

[Heald]

Mega Horny I guess, just because I can't figure out the rules and I want to at least avoid a doom.

[Weasel Overlord]

[color=silver]Well, if we're playing the mirage game then I shall cast an illusion on meself. Now I have purple hair, and Thom Yorke is inexplicably attracted to me... O.o

Thats right Jimmies...He's MINE!

...

[Green Lanturn]

[font=comic sans ms]Well, cant say I understand this game any more than the rest of you guys...but ill vote for Mega Horny just for the heck of it...

~GL[/fon]

[Plantae]

In response to the dilemma of not knowing the knowing: they are discovered in the same way werewolves were discovered in TWG. Namely, in one of several ways:
1. Working in unison
2. Instigating the death of the unknowing
3. Putting up a facade to be unknowing

Or various other telltale things. But the show must go on!

Dead
Mega Horny - unknowing

So begins Turn 3.

And finally, a note on illusions. Contingent illusions (those that are activated only under a certain condition, such as, when a certain player has a majority of the votes) may be used but will cost one point more than the standard illusion and this will not allow for players to go over the three points allotted per turn. If I feel they are being abused this game, they may not be allowed in the next game.

[Magmar]

I'm sorry I missed this turn! Really, I am! I was out all day at a reunion. I don't think I've gotten a doom since I began playing the...werewolf game o_O;

I'll vote for Roy Karrde. He's been quiet.

[Dark-San]

[b][size=3] I beg to differ. I'm throwing in a vote to Ace64.

His post before mine sounds very suspicious. He holds off his vote and didn't put any vote. Unless he explains himself, my vote stays.

[Ace64]

I'd be suspicious too, in your place. But think about it here. Mega Horny was an unknowing- one of the majority. If I'm a knowing, why wouldn't I vote for him? Everyone else was, so there would have been less chance of being suspected. But now, you're suspecting me because I didn't vote? The wrong guy was killed here! Innocent death. The only thing in my previous post was how we were supposed to tell the knowing from the unknowing, that was all. Holding off seemed to be a better choice to using online dice, in my opinion. And I didn't cast a vote later because I had an awards ceremony to go to last night.

Anyways, I'll hold off on retaliatory votes, since it's obvious you don't know much more than me here. Instead, I'll vote for TBA, purely for the reason that he was one of those for Mega Horny, an unknowing. It'll probably earn a retaliatory vote, but it might give somebody a clue.

[The Blue Avenger]

Screw that, I'm voting for [b]Ace[b] too. I dun wanna die.

[The Blue Avenger]

Wow, totally messed up a font tag. My apologies.

[Heald]

Meh. Roy Karrde to even things out I guess.

[Green Lanturn]

Bah....TheBlueAvenger.

No obvious reason...

~GL

[Plantae]

Dead
TheBlueAvenger - unknowing

So starts Turn 4.

[Magmar]

TBA! *Heartbroken!* You were my lover... or I was yours or something like that... via illusion, lol.

I guess seeing these wonderful results is convincing enough to re-vote for Roy Karrde.

[The Blue Avenger]

You all suck. Except for Magmar, who apparently I was having a relationship with... without my knowledge.

...sleep rape! O_O

[Magmar]

lmao! I saw that in the rules and had to do it. A few others and I joked about possible combinations. Mega Horny and Zcade0 would make a unique couple...

vote stays unchanged for now though.

[Plantae]

Oh, that is cruel. So cruel, Magmar. In any case, I wanted to make something from the rules clear.

If you invoke a detection power, it will last for the entirety of the round in which it is invoked. That means that if someone casts an illusion in the first hour of Turn 7 and you used "detect all illusions" that you will know this illusion and the one that comes nearly as the Turn is over, or some such.

[Green Lanturn]

Im just gonna toss a vote out there for someone who i feel might just be a "knowing" ....Magmar....

~GL

[Ace64]

I agree. He seems to be starting the vote every time..somebody's got to, but what the hell.
Magmar.

Plus, having DD post-tits makes it hard to go out without being stared at....come ON, man..

[Heald]

I'm gonna stick with Roy Karrde again. The quiet ones are always the suspicious ones.

[Weasel Overlord]

[color=silver]Well, Im gonna throw out another nicely random vote and go for Ace64. Do you have any evidence that Maggymar is a Knowing? Cos he's voted for Roy Karrde every time, and I believe it was actually you who started the whole vote for TBA, yes? *looks back* Yes, yes it was.

*glares* me vote goes to you; Ace.

*waves hands around illusionly* And now I choose to cast another illusion! ^^ Yes, you've guessed it...it involves Thom Yorke... *is obsessed*

*BANG!* *lands in a newly-acquired trolley* Wheee!! Now I can whizz around the game like Thom does in the Fake Plastic Trees video!! *beams and whizzes* WHEEE!!
