biancospino's Micro Normal Review, February 2023

Hi,
I'd like to run a Normal micro sometimes in the near future. I do need a backup/co-mod, which at the moment I still don't have.

Welcome to Game!

You are a

Werewolf weak multitasking compulsive FruitVendor compulsive Messenger

.

You know that the Wolves' faction is composed of you and XXX.

You have the following factional abilities:

• Wolf chat
  — you can talk with the other members of the Wolves' faction at any time [here]
  
• Wolf kill
  — each night, if no other member of the Wolves' faction use this ability, you may target a living player. Assuming no interference with your action, your target will die.

You have the following nonfactional passive abilities:

• weak
  — whenever you successfully use an active ability targeting a player not aligned with the Village, you unavoidably die.
  
• multitasking
  — each phase, you may use any number of active abilities you are able to use that phase.

You have the following nonfactional active abilities:

• compulsive FruitVendor
  — each night, you
  must
  target a living player. Assuming no interference with your action, your target will receive a piece of fruit.
  
• compulsive Messenger
  — each night, you
  must
  target a living player and compose a message. Assuming no interference with your action, your target will receive from the moderator the message you composed.

You win when at least one member of the Wolves' faction is alive and all members of the Village's faction are dead, or when nothing can prevent the same.

The game thread is located [here].
Confirm by replying to this PM with a summary of your role, plus two ordered lists of all players other than you and a default message, or by posting the same in the Wolves' PT.

(Note: if you will ever fail to submit your compulsive FruitVendor action, I will consider you to target with it the first living player of the first list. If you ever fail to submit your compulsive Messenger action, I will consider you to target with it the first living player on the second list, sending the default message. You can, at any time, change those lists or the default message by PMing both me and [comod] or by posting in the Wolves' PT.)
