None of you are moving like you have some kind of post limit curse I'll say that Is that what that was? I do indeed have a cursed item and it definitely has a downside, but that is certainly not it. I don't think lucy and brolly would do something so anti-fun anyway.
I kind of missed the part of the rules that says cursed items have a downside, I thought it was just a cool epic part of the name

None of you are moving like you have some kind of post limit curse I'll say that Yeah, that tracks so far. I wish I hadn't been distracted during the end of the bidding, I might have been able to snipe an item.

Is there any point speculating on the nature of the items up for Auction today? (Obviously we can’t speculate on night-Auction items until the day after they’ve been bought.) - McMeaty Burger Franchise: No idea.
- Masks of Thalia and Melpomene: The comedy and tragedy masks, but I’m not sure what impact they’d have. Potentially voting modifiers, or 2x 1-shot abilities?
- FedEx Telewarp Pad: I’d guess a some form of redirection, maybe a Bus Driver or Commuter ability. I’m not sure whether the “FedEx” part is relevant.
- GravitySchmavity Brand Trainers: No idea.
- Existentially Worrying FleshClone: Honestly, this feels all over the place. The “Existentially Worrying” part sounds like a potential negative, but the “FleshClone” part could be some form of 1-shot self-protective (thematically an “extra body/life”).
Given how much some people seem to be online, I think bid snipes will be fairly prevalent.
I could see an item introducing a post restriction, but more along the lines of a requirement to include certain content in the post (either seriously or an obvious joke) rather than a limit on the number of posts. With long dayphases (1 week for the first day), any serious post restriction would become rather obvious if an apparent lack of activity weren’t acted on by the moderators.

I really wanted it, that was so mean Tom I don’t suppose you’d care to share the name of the item or why you wanted it? (E.g. an idea of what it might do, although the names do seem to be rather abstract in some cases.)

There's probably a mechanical reason not to reveal names of items people have, I could imagine mafia might have a role that benefits from knowing that information like an item stealer

That’s fair. I’ve not played a “Pick Your Power” game before, so I don’t know the meta or likely roles beyond having had a very quick skim through parts of the previous Pick Your Power game on this forum.
I’m assuming that some discussion over who was keen to get certain items may be relevant later in the game, or people talking about others “sniping” items. But it probably won’t yield significant information on Day 1. (Although we do have very little to go on on Day 1, and I believe that the rules mean we do have to exile someone today.)

Hello I arrive. Based on last night I’m gonna say bidding is won by whoever is on their computer at the deadline, so I’m not gonna bid on anything yet. That being said I like the look of that fleshclone

Bid sniping will probably be rather prevalent for lower value items, especially early on. If someone seriously commits, I doubt people will snipe it unless they have a good idea of what the item does and think it’s worthwhile, as we’ve only got limited money and I doubt there will be many opportunities to gain additional funds.

I wonder with the theming of the game the evil team could be aliens instead of Mafia, I've been up all night thinking about it

Hello I arrive. Based on last night I’m gonna say bidding is won by whoever is on their computer at the deadline, so I’m not gonna bid on anything yet. That being said I like the look of that fleshclone If there's multiple people at the deadline it sort of turns into a blind auction where you have to make a bid without knowing the other bids. It's a spicy meatball
Anyway where's lukey pie, not like towncored Luke to miss a daystart???
