Script honoring the confluence of Halloween, Diwali, and Election Day. Going for themes and icons that point to them (spooky things, candy, lights, politics).

Po can be hard confirmable if it kills 3, but when protection works, it can cause confusion. Lycan throws off suspicious of Po & Shab. Town Crier works nicely with Fearmonger.

LMK if you see any potential conflicts or if you have suggestions for improvements!

Personally am not a fan of sage without Vortox or Pukka, but maybe its fine between dashii and the faster demons of shab and po
Edit: and also lycan

#

Shab scarlet can be dangerous, but its probably fine (just forces good to kill on final 6 instead of final 5)

#

Dreamer without a grim peeker or vortox smh

#

Dashii with innkeeper&lycan feels dangerous, especially without an assassin or drunk

#

Honestly i think Id want to see a Boffin on here specifically for NWM (mainly cause nwm has the opportunity to be rezed by prof which is probably too strong), probably to replace witch cause its in a weird place where you already have 3 quiet minions, 1 loud minion, and witch who eventually announces themself)
Edit: and then add magician or something that lets evil take advantage of the info roles

#

No Dashii + baron is the first thing I noticed (too few sober + healthy townsfolk)

lethal axle
#

Oh true

livid falcon
#

Also be wary of hard-confirmed professor too

#

Professor-confirmed mayor can be very difficult for the evil team to handle (as an ST never mayor-bounce off of a mechanically confirmed mayor more than once)

#

That isn't really a script issue tho

gray thorn
#

i don't mind swapping out Dreamer, NWM or Witch. I could swap Witch for Widow which gets us a grim peeker, but it's also loud

#

oooh i like that

lethal axle
gray thorn
#

a failing lycan feels like it would give great potential for discord, as the lycan would throw shade at whoever they picked. I can see the problem with an IK failing, but then wouldn't the evil team just off the IK? (Assuming i put the spy in the game)

lethal axle
#

Evil team wont always have a spy when the no dashii neighbors the innkeeper

tribal slate
#

Where pumpkin

gray thorn
#

we're all pumpkins

#

oops all pumpkin

gray thorn
#

Update. Swapped out Witch and SW for Spy & Assassin

#

I wouldn't mind swapping out ND for Vig, but Vig + Boomdandy isn't great

lethal axle
#

Yeah prob not vig

#

I think pukka would fit nicely tho

gray thorn
#

also don't love that it would reduce Outsider count

#

yeah i was about to suggest pukka

lethal axle
#

Pukkas main issue is it just makes mayor sad

gray thorn
#

oh because it nullifies the bounce?

lethal axle
#

I mean that part sucks, but the main issue is final 3 with mayor and pukka, 50% chance the mayor is poisoned (probably higher)

#

Just feels bad to be the mayor there

gray thorn
#

dang yeah

#

what do you think about swapping zealot for Hatter @lethal axle

lethal axle
#

Hatter prob a bit better, tho with shab it can get dangerous if it lives too long

#

Id do Plague probably

#

Actually plague is a bit weird with this minion group, maybe not

gray thorn
#

PD doesn't feel great with this script, 4 jinxes on the current slate of minions

#

lol yeah

lethal axle
#

Plague with jinx characters > Plague with unjinxed characters lol

#

Except maybe boom

lethal axle
#

The jinxed PD interactions generally give players more agency, and I've seen some people say that makes them more fun, and I tend to agree

#

Odd ones out being boomdandy, baron, and twin

gray thorn
#

wow boomdandy explodes immediately

lethal axle
#

Fear, Spy, Scarlet, Goblin, and honestly Mario are all great with PD

gray thorn
#

wow Mario/PD jinx is great, just read it

#

PD is too good to avoid, gonna swap Zealot for PD and Boomdandy for Mario

lethal axle
#

XD

#

Idk how you feel about the technically +2 evil between poli and Plague Mario

#

(Tho i do think that a PD baron making a poli is an excellent interaction)

#

I guess you could just trust STs not to make PD marios with politicians in play, or you could just not care about mario + poli cause theyre both kinda unstable

gray thorn
#

yeah i think it still work, at least worth trying

#

thanks for your help!

#

playing it tonight

livid falcon
lethal axle
#

Honestly i dont think shab is ever gonna pass as the other 2 demons unless a lycan is in play. So its probably best that godfather isnt confirming outsiders

#

Honestly considering the ease of which a shab would be detected, maybe remove prof (also cause professor kinda makes a zombie)

gray thorn
#

If the Po hits just 2 of his 3, I like that it could seem like a Shab game

#

But I guess I don’t mind swapping out Shab for Imp and Prof for … something

lethal axle
gray thorn
#

True

lethal axle
#

Pixie? Its basically a halloween costume

gray thorn
#

lol

#

I never got the icon for pixie

lethal axle
#

I thinks its supposed to be about pixies stealing children or something idk

gray thorn
#

Cannibal? Pie is kinda like candy and cannibal power is like a costume

lethal axle
#

Cannibal is a bit strong with both noble and shugenja

#

And also NWM

gray thorn
#

hm

lethal axle
#

...alchemist is not the worst idea with your minion bunch
Hard jinxed with spy, and assassin is kinda a slayer
Strong with baron and fun with fearmonger
Marionette alch kinda meh tho (knowing no one else is the marionette til pd dies, and learning if a pd makes a mario are both helpful tho)

gray thorn
#

intersting

#

hwo about banshee?

lethal axle
#

Bit sad with spy assassin and pukka, (and you already have a bird in sage)

gray thorn
#

oh sure

#

wait, bird?

lethal axle
#

I categorize TF that need to die to get their ability off as birds (ravenkeeper, sage, farmer, banshee)
Some even consider soldier to be a bird cause it needs to be targeted to help town

gray thorn
#

oh i see

lethal axle
#

Another term ive seen people use is demonbane

gray thorn
#

ok i'll try pixie

lethal axle
#

Have you given additional thought to swapping mayor or are you fine with the mayor pukka interaction?

gray thorn
#

i'm ok with it, i'm too much of a slave to the theme

#

it's an edge case and if it gets down to 3 and the mayor is in play, they will be loud about it and then town can decide if it's worth the risk

lethal axle
#

I dont think its ever gonna be worth it to go for the mayor win cause i think a pukka can convincingly look like an imp or a po that never charges so its never worth the risk

gray thorn
#

sure but the gaming it out is still fun

lethal axle
#

Alright

gray thorn
#

Ok I might relent

#

Thinking of swapping mayor for new acrobat

livid falcon
gray thorn
#

Walter has a good point about mayor / pukka

#

i guess it’s an edge case

livid falcon
#

It's a rather prevalent issue imo

#

I'd replace it with alsaahir maybe?

gray thorn
#

Well I mean having both on script isn’t gonna happen each play. But yeah if they’re together it’s a peoblem

#

Not a bad idea

livid falcon
#

Are you gonna test mayor + pukka when you run it?

gray thorn
#

Not sure

#

What if I put in a minstrel? Feels chaotic but maybe fun

livid falcon
gray thorn
#

Yeah and I don’t wanna actually prolong the game

lethal axle
gray thorn
#

Yeah I see that now

lethal axle
#

Magician would be a decent mayor swap

gray thorn
#

Yeah I agree

shy oriole
#

I’m an evil man

#

Evil won

gray thorn
#

The other two games were won by good on day 2

shy oriole
#

I was gnome for the second one

lethal axle
shy oriole
#

We’ve realized pukka works bad with pd :(

lethal axle
#

Yeah pukka is a little sad with all the outsiders with death abilities, but said outsiders can still be executed or assassin killed or lycan killed
