Eh whatever let's do it now.

I have an item

It's 8 letters long, 3 of the letters are 'o's.

If you need that item, use the word in a post of yours within the next 48 hours.

I suggest that everyone with an item to give do something like this. It will probably be protown, and definitely be fun.

[skip wooznum]

Or actually, nobody else with items to give has to do this.

Everybody who needs an item can use the word in a post in the next 48 hours, and all the givers need to do is pay attention.

If you like that version better.

[sudgy]

I like the plan, but scum will just do it as well for the items they need, so all this tells us is who needs and has what items, but not whether we should give them to the people or not.

[skip wooznum]

Or it might be hard to discreetly fit these words into a post.

But whatever, some variation on the idea. I think everyone gets the point. Anyone else is welcome to tweak it.

vote: sudgy do scum need items? I didn't know that. Maybe the plans not so good.

But what do you think of the plan?

[Glooble]

I sat down in the back of a cab and asked the cabby to take me to my hotel. Then I looked inside the new suitcase I'd swiped from the baggage claim. The first thing I noticed was a clue. A clue to this mystery I'd suddenly found myself embroiled in. As I was contemplating the clue, I felt the cold steel of a gun at my neck.

"Don't scream, Mr. Jones," said a Russian-accented voice. "I don't want to shoot you. I mean, I might, but I won't enjoy it."

With 15 alive, it takes 8 to lynch. Deadline is April 29th at noon ET.

Oh I missed the start of this. You'll have to wait for me until tomorrow, sorry.

[WestCoastDidds]

Didds, how much of the information you’ve presented do you feel that you would have dons without MiX prompting you to do so?

I wouldn’t have considered the question of trusting myself sans MiX.  Other than that, I’d probably have done it myself.  It seems like the point of the game. We have stuff, and we need stuff, individually and collectively.

How do I find the right person to give my stuff to, and convince someone who has something useless to them that it would be better off with me?  Is there any way to make the swap-o-Rama better for town and worse for the baddies?

Is that the point of the game? What makes you think that?

This is from the set-up post
"You’ve each ended up with someone’s luggage, but not your own. Some of you have important items you'll need to find and retrieve. Some of you will profit from helping others get what they need."

That, combined with my role QT makes me believe that it is important that folks be reunited with their stuff, and that its better for town if that happens sooner rather than later.

I don't like the plan.

[WestCoastDidds]

Hi Awaclus!  It's good to see you in a game! You too, Eevee.

[Awaclus]

Hi!

[MiX]

I don't understand the plan. It seems that all scum has to do is scan the thread for keywords if they want to know who wants what.

Can you elaborate skip?

Well maybe I should pay more attention to the setup post!

[WestCoastDidds]

Maybe you will get some good stuff!

We don't know what the keywords are, though.  As long as you can drop the keywords discreetly enough, nobody will realize you breadcrumbed.

Unless you're scum and you've been told all of the item names?  Vote: MiX, probably my first semi-serious vote.

Why wouldn't they?  Who knows, but it's not worth risking it.

What? I don't need to be scum to notice a name. I know for a fact that this way to breadcrumb is completely ineffective for what I need, and I have doubts that it doesn't give everything away for others.

Scum most definitely need items. But they'll inevitably end up there anyway.

[jotheonah]

We also have to make sure we don’t break the rules about secret codes. This plan doesn’t run afoul of the no cryptography rule does it?

[Awaclus]

I don't think it should break the rule, but I don't think we should do it regardless.

[LaLight]

i have something, but i don't need anything

[WestCoastDidds]

I need something. Whomever has it will likely want to be sure before they give it to the right person. Whomever has it now probably can’t do anything with it.  It has two words.

I also have something that I cannot use, but is valuable to whomever can.

[Swowl]

Ok so obvious downside.
1 - you need but can’t give.
2 - you can give but don’t need.
3 - you can give and

Claiming what you need or can give is a bad idea. It is actually probably worse than actually claiming what you have to give and what you need. I don’t think that is a good idea either.

Also - as the listed VT role is about giving items and there are a tone of people with items we should probably assume that skum could have the ability to steal items, or intercept, or block or something.

About the second item, assuming the person that needs it is town, would you want to give them your item or them give you their item?

This is the best question I can think about without asking Glooble if it's ok.
