A Troglodyte King has at least 17 health, at most 22. Can deal 2 damage at least. Drops a sceptre. And a Cave Dog has 12 agility.ABC awards you 0.48F
ActActAct: bid 0.63F on the lockpickSorry, but
Buying lockpicks for 1.26₣Turnabout is fair play, I guess.
Bet 12.70F on Olybeth Win
Bet 6.5F on Olybeth win.Please don't make me pay out partial pfennigs- it's not like you can buy anything for them.
Then why have a payout below 1F?Did someone offer you that? Because that would be a scam.
ACTACTACT: Bet 12.73F on Olybeth WinThat's not how that works. You pay the money, and get a (virtual) betting slip. If you win, you turn it in and get whatever the payout is. Either way, you do not get to keep your original bet.
A full-kitted adventurer against a single rat...? Not complaining, but this seems like a remarkably easy way for all players to double their money. I'm not sure what method you're using to determine the odds, but if the rate of return on these bets is above what you intend for regular adventuring then perhaps you should consider more modest returns on bets.Spoiler: Jolly Carcinogens Inc (click to show/hide)

Based on my IRL experience there isn't much for town to do on D1, except identify who the top detective in the group is, and make sure they are not lynched. This clearly carries over to forum mafia, since you've been projecting this like crazy, and it's not to impress PotOS. Interestingly (well not that interestingly, since I already said your play should not depend on whether you're scum or town) this is also the goal of scum- they'll want to kill off the top detective at night. Unless he's one of them (then they're lynched D2.)and (in my book) you're playing sub-optimally.
Beams Gonna discuss that book, a1s? I already asked for how you think we should play.... sorry. How town should play D1.
A1s Null read for meI will take this as a compliment. I know we're all trying to project "town", but if people can tell when you're town, they can tell when you're scum and (in my book) you're playing sub-optimally.

Let's reduce Sepoy to 10/10.NAME: MountainThis is a reasonable concept, although it is de facto a 20/20 Critter for 0 which can spawn up to 5 friends even after it dies. I'd probably up the cost to 1 and reduce the Rebellion Threshold to 3. Or reduce the Sepoy to 10/10.
COST: 0
EFFECT:
- Rebellion Threshold: 5,
- Once per turn put a rebellion counter on this card to gain a red Sepoy token
- Any player may pay a rad to put a rebellion token on this card.
----
Name: Sepoy
Strength-Vitality: 20-20
Changes approved.NAME: FactoryThis would work with a cost of 0. While in theory it could get crazy, that would require you to have set up a lot of Tea and Critters, in which case you've earned your Rad bounty.
COST: 2
EFFECT:
Choose a critter, that critter may not attack, defend or use abilities until the start of your next turn. lose 1 tea and gain 1 rad. You may use this ability multiple times per trun, provided you choose a new critter each time.
NAME: Hot PotatoI'd wouldn't call it 'discard', but 'destroy'. Discarding is from the hand.
EFFECT:
- At the beginning of your turn roll a six-sided die, if you roll a 6 - take 50 damage and discard Hot Potato.
- Rebellion Threshold: 0
- Whenever a card under your control gains a rebellion counter, you may place one on Hot Potato.
