Do you think anyone would hint at such a game-breaking power this early if they had it?
Sure, I've seen players do dumber stuff so it doesn't hurt to ask.
Fair enough. Do you think I'm that dumb? :P

Do you also think OSG has taken roles from that list? If so, why?
No, but that's just what the anarchist role usually does.
Bastard games can be quite unusual, however.

Does an off-hand comment really make you think there's a particular role in the game?
Not particularly but it's nice to know, and this exchange tells me a lot about your attitude.
What is your conclusion?

In response to your question, I will repeat that I won't confirm or deny any role I do or do not have. Counterpoint to your question: the scum benefit a lot more than town from knowing role distribution, especially this early. Your interest in my role instead of my alignment is noted.
Town always want to know whether someone has an anti-town role (which usually hints indicates alignment in any case).
I think town are more interested in whether players have anti-town alignments, which is why I'm bothered so much by your role-fishing.

There's (presumably) no way for you to confirm whether I'm telling the truth at this point, and perhaps not even after the night phase. Seems like a bit of a pointless task on D1, one which is better left until things can be confirmed after actions and role flips.

You don't see yourself as deflecting, but you're not going to point to evidence against you, are you? I thought it was, so I pointed it out. If anyone else agrees, good for me. If they don't, good for you. I'm not building a case off it, why so defensive?
Why am I responding to points made against me in a game of mafia? Uh...
It's a subjective point, though. I thought you were deflecting, others may interpret it differently. I wasn't saying that you deflecting said anything about you, just that it was what I thought you were doing.

Could certainly argue the FoS is an OMGUS. Worried you can't blend in so easily now that someone says they think you're a baddy?
I'm not worried about anything here. If I was trying to blend in, I'd definitely post a lot less.
But after someone comes out and says you're their prime suspect? Posting less would look rather odd, perhaps even incriminating... people might start making unpleasant assumptions about you at that point.

If you click the linked quote and read back a few pages, it'll explain it a lot better than I could. Basically someone posted a joke of the "three stereotypes are about to die, there are only two means of escaping the fate" kinda joke, someone then pointed out an apparent misuse of the Henderson scale, we all got into an argument about it and then Egan posted the joke, and I found it very funny.

PPE: ninjas

joke in question. A few posts later someone mentions giving the scroll to the dragon, and then Kot mentions the Henderson scale, then we argue, then Egan posts the joke.

To explain the comment: I once had anarchist leanings, so the idea of removing an authority and the mechanism to replace them is amusing to me.

Re: lack of scumhunting: patience is a virtue, dude. It's the weekend, only opportunity I get to spend bunches of time with my wife. Chances are I won't be able to do anything major until ~Tuesday.

No, you should have the option, just grayed out. Is your capital in a Tengri province? It may have converted.

I had it one at one point, don't think the option was there even then.

I am nomadic, which may present a problem, seeing as it's a capital "camp", or whatever, rather than a province. But I moved the capital in an effort to improve a trade post, which didn't work, so I'll move it back anyway.

Well, you don't have to send the kid off. Just get a Tengri fellow in your court. Concubines work in this regard.

I'm presently having him educated by a Tengri lady in a vassal's court. Unfortunately the vassal is also Sunni, and - according to the wiki -  since their "employer" is of a different faith, they can't convert their wards.

I may not have the option to convert since I don't have the piety yet... though I don't even have a greyed out option :( I am getting a ridiculous amount of prestige per month though, something on the level of 18! I usually need multiple empire titles before getting to that!

So long as I can convert back at some point, it's alright. Might just spend all my spare time and cash on getting the piety together to attempt it.

Here are the timezones I could find, maybe I missed a post or two.


I believe the time acceleration is set by whatever the majority of players set it to. From what I remember we are supposedly going to use 1, 2, or 3.

Thanks dude, I added the list to the OP. Difficult to gather things properly on a phone...

Anyway, I've added a request for PMs for general times that you might be available, so if you want me to add that, you can post in the thread or (probably a better idea) PM me.

Question: is it possible to convert from an established religion -specifically Sunni Muslim - to an unreformed Pagan faith - specifically Tengri?

I converted when a giant Muslim empire (Abassids have broken up into multiple independent entities) with the expectation I could convert back, what with a Tengri wife and concubines, but no. The UI is ugly as fuck.

Anyhow, all DLC except conclave, so I can't have my kid educated as Tengri except if I send him off to a rival Khagan, which I don't really want to do because it means no wars for 12 years, and they are the biggest Khanate outside my realm.

I was thinking perhaps trying to get my court chaplain to convert to Tengri... but how does one go about that? Do I need to just send them to a province of the Tengri faith (ironically the only ones are the de jure duchy I got attacked by the Muslims for) with the cynical trait, and hope they get converted?
