And now, listeners, a special message from the Night Vale City Council: Until further notice, the Dog Park will be used as a storage area for extra-planar beings who wish to observe our way of life in this quaint little desert town. Of course, this particular broadcast will be heavily censored, so that only those beings and any Night Vale Residents who have passed on will be aware of it. To these extra-planar beings, we say, Welcome. Sit back. Kick your feet up. There are sodas in the fridge. If you're headed over there anyway, can you grab me one? I'm not picky. Just not diet. Or Sprite. Who likes Sprite, honestly? Maybe something cherry? A Dr. Pepper might be nice, but only if it's cold. But again, I'm not picky.

I'm concerned about Scrafty's odds of survival today, and I will be incredibly irritated if she gets taken out on day one.

How people have the patience to write 20+ person long reads lists amazes me.

I was used to it in star wars so you never bothered me in archer at all. i think scrafty is consistent too. i mean, from the beginning of the game to the end. except that time in cthulhu that she had to change persona cuz of the curse mechanic. idk personally i like how she pulls her different 'faces'. it makes it harder to meta-game in respects to "she was this way in this game so now she is this other way, she must be scum" although it creates the other meta thingy as in "that's just her schtick, we shall allow it for now until it annoys us too much" :3 cant win, these days #GoScrafty

She was commenting the other night that she felt like she was in a no-win scenario when the votes were piling up on her. She wanted to fight back, because she didn't want to die on day 1, but she felt like if she struggled against it, it would just cement in people's minds that she was scum.
I will say that I think this is probably the most involved character she's pulled out. I love it, especially in light of her role, and I also don't see why people are having such a hard time reading it. Then again, I had family in the Hollywood area growing up, so I speak Valley Girl.
Also: She didn't change her persona in Cthulu because of the curse mechanic, we just all thought that was the case. She DID get cursed in Cthulu, but it was that she had to include the word Chicken in every post, which absolutely no one noticed. She dropped her persona in Cthulu for a different reason.

I've always been a fan of Scrafty's accents ever since she was my replacement after my short and unremarkable stint in Cthulu. It's all in good fun and it doesn't get in the way of her playing the game. I think if people just accepted it instead going on about it, things would be fine. I definitely think it is less bothersome then the hyper-aggressive play that some people do.

(Except for the lynches and night kills, which I am writing myself.) The book is a separate entity, and I haven't gotten real far into it. I haven't been one to sit down and read a book lately. What I've read is really good, though. It actually reads a lot like Douglas Adams meets HP Lovecraft. (Really, all of Night Vale can be described that way, but the book REALLY evokes it.) Also, if it helps, the quote from this post is from the book.

Notes from Day 1-Poor Darklighter. It was the right move for town, but I feel bad for him. -So far people are largely dancing around the actual scum. -Squidy is trying hard to get scum to come after him, but the Scum just aren't biting. -I don't regret the decision to let Mazre invite Sorian to chat. There are going to be fireworks. -Night Vale Spoilers: -Mazre commented that he would expect Dana Cardinal to be the Mayor role, since she eventually becomes Mayor of Night Vale. In my original setup, Dana was the Mayor and had an override, and Pamela Winchell, the former Mayor of Night Vale and current Head of Emergency Press Conferences was the Gossip. (She would hold a long press conference every night.) However, I realized that most people were only going to be familiar with the earlier parts of the series, so I switched them, made Pamela the Mayor and Dana the Intern the Gossip. -Sorian is overthinking Mazre's roleclaim. He says that he suspects Mazre might be lying because he doesn't have a Title, (Example: Sorian's is Dana Cardinal - Night Vale Intern) and because the podcast calls the The Faceless Old Woman who Secretly Lives in YOUR home versus what I called her, EVERYONE'S homes. So first off, The Title is The Faceless Old Woman - Who Secretly Lives in Everyone's Homes. Second, the other title felt clunky, so I changed it.

Hey guys. I'm gonna go have lunch and then come back to read through the thread. Are there spoilers here?
Salt is overflowing all throughout me right now. It's quite a sight.

There are spoilers here. I intended to keep it spoiler free, but it hasn't happened. If you do want it spoiler free, I'll try to keep it that way in the future.

Sorian: this posting in haikus stuff is just going to get in the way.
Why yes, Sorian, that is entirely the point.
And to make me laugh. Always, always to make me laugh.
If they hit Sorian with this, I'm gonna make him post in image macros.

Sorian: True story, I actually asked Zatoth after Cthulu was over what the punishment was for not doing the Haiku. He said it hadn't occurred to him that anyone would NOT, so he didn't have a punishment in mind.
I'm not that trusting, clearly.
Modkilling seemed too major, but power or vote removal seemed about right.
Razmos: Hey, man, John Peters is more than just a farmer! He's a big man with big ideas!
Sorian: Also this.

This one isn't. hello fireblend! awwww they took you out of nv :< i sad :< i loved your flavour *______* Tell me about it v.v I still have one shot at a good flavor post though, so I'll save my dead message for when I can sit down and write something without feeling the pain and fury that comes with leaving the game on N1.
