WW222: Oops All Cupid Parasites Day 4

It turns out, hot yoga left everyone at the mixer too stinky to want to go for coffee dates afterward. You feel more in shape, but less lucky in love than before.

“These things take time,” Bwok assures you. “How about this? We can set up some dates with other singles in our system who also asked for a more involved version of our advising services. We have three who look like they could be a good match for you.”

Bawk bobbed his head enthusiastically, pecking forward three different profiles to you as if to say these were his top choices. Maybe one of them would be the right fit for you…

After some consideration, you tell them all three profiles looked like they had strong potential. The nonverbal chicken really seemed to be good at his job. Pleased with your reaction, the chickens began setting up dates for you and the three potential loves.

With a new spring in your step, you leave the Cupid Corp offices bouncing out the door. On the way out, you pass by a beautiful woman with long pink hair. Distracted by her beauty, you trip for a moment on… nothing? The beautiful woman looks toward you and then toward the sky with concern. You could’ve sworn there was a squeal of panic in the distance…

MSD was kicked back up to Mt. Olympus. He was Chii, the Town Bodyguard.

Another lovely song for you all~!
Clients & Cupid Corp! (a.k.a. Vanilla Town and Roled Town!)
  • 12 7 Clients (Vanilla Townies) — The clientele of Cupid Corp. Your vote is your power… and so is your ability to be paired off at night!
  • Lynette Mirror (Town Vigilante Cupid): Lynette Mirror is the minor goddess Cupid herself come down to Earth to learn how humans fall in love without the intervention of her arrows. Each night, Lynette must pick a player to be in a Cupid Couple. Please see the Lynette’s Current Powers tab to stay up to date on cupid’s mechanics 🙂
  • Chii (Cupid’s Bodyguard): Chii is Lynette’s divine beast companion from Olympus. Chii shares a private chat with Lynette. At the first day or night kill attempt on Lynette, Chii will die in her place.
  • Owen Herriot (Town Doctor): Shelby Snail’s very overworked personal assistant who is so busy he doesn’t have time to date. Each night, Owen may pick a player to protect from a kill. Cannot pick the same option two nights in a row.
  • Claris Tia (Town Alignment Investigator): Lynette’s best friend and an app developer at Cupid Corp. She wrote the Love Match Test matching quiz which is famous for sorting clients into compatibility pools. Each night, Claris may pick a player to investigate to learn their Alignment.
The Parasite Five! (a.k.a. Wolf Roles)
  • Gill Lovecraft (Agape/Devotion): Once during the game, Gill may pick another player who he will observe for the rest of the game. All night actions going forth taken by and acted upon this player will be reported to Gill. The formation of couples starting on observation night is reported, but if the observed player is already in a private chat its existence will not be reported.
  • Shelby Snail (Pragma/Practical): Once during the game, Shelby may attempt to make his own Couple with another available single player. Shelby’s coupling will render his partner ineligible for future couplings. For the purposes of Lynette’s and Claris’s powers, Shelby appears as “Cupid Corp”.
  • Raul Aconite (Ludus/Playful): Once during the game after the first Parasite death, Raul may attempt to recruit a Client into the Parasite 5.
  • Ryuki Keisaiin (Eros/Passion): Once during the game, Ryuki may select another player and learn their full role description with all hidden components included.
  • Allan Melville (Mania/Obsessive): Once during the game, Allan may select a player to Jail. If that player was in a Cupid Couple, the couple is torn apart and neither player may be coupled up by Lynette again.
  • Parasite Recruit: A former Client who was chronically unlucky in love.
Lynette’s Current Powers…

Some hidden mechanics may alter the specifics of Lynette’s powers. Check back here each morning to know the result 😉

  • Lynette cannot select anyone from Cupid Corp (Roled Townie) for her pairing.
  • On the first successful selection, the selected player will be told “Cupid has her eye on you!”
  • On a second successful selection, a Cupid Couple may be formed.
  • If the players are a Client (vanilla townie) and a Parasite (wolf), the couple will fall apart and both players exit the game.
  • Cupid Couples can be made up of Client/Client or Parasite/Parasite.
  • If one half of a Cupid Couple dies, the other will survive and no longer be couple-able.
  • Lynette will not be told the outcomes of her attempted couplings.
Special Mechanics and Win Conditions!

Special Mechanics…

  • Each night, in addition to their faction kill, Team Parasite may choose for one of their members to use their one-shot power. Only one Parasite may use their one-shot power per night.
  • There are hidden roles/mechanics in this game.
  • We’re going to be “playing” the game together in the header each day so movements at night will have an effect on the narrative. 😉

Win Conditions…

  • Town wins when all parasites are gone.
  • Wolves win when they make up half or more of the number of active players.
  • Hidden additional win conditions exist for some roles but do not alter the fundamentals of a town victory versus a wolf victory.
