So here's a thread for discussing the Dark Bargains. I figured I'd keep them separate so they wouldn't bog down the Day/Night threads and it'd be easier to keep them in one place.
What powers/things should I offer? Lynch Immunity? Doubling the next night?
What powers/things should I try to get that would help us?
I'm thinking of posing as Zauriel, the angel from Hybrid II, and trying to enlist help from whoever we send the note to. Maybe phrase it so that if they help me we can both succeed, but if they don't help me, we'll both be caught and punished.

Be careful with Zauriel, as the premise is that characters aren't reused from game to game.
I might go with Lucifer. You are trying to reclaim your throne. You are neutral, and win when the triumvirate is dead.
I'd offer night protection the next night.
Also, don't say who you are in the message. Tell them you can't reveal yourself, or you lose protections.

Good point. Lucifer had occured to me as well as another option.
Night protection is a good one to go with as it seems relatively safe and most people will take it.
What should I ask for? It has to be something they can offer. Maybe they lose their vote or I gain their power for the next night while they are protected?

"I want my throne back. I need to stop Mephistopheles and I want him to suffer for his betrayal. I need to secure more power before I can punish him for his actions. I want to offer you immunity from being night killed in order to help protect you and secure you as my ally. In exchange for granting you this ability, I will receive your power for the next night phase. Refusal of this offer lets me know that you are aligned with Mephistopheles and you will be Roleblocked and Silenced for the next day and night phase.
- Lucifer"
Sound good or should I change it up? Anything that any of you would add? I'm thinking DroppinSuga will be tonight's target.

Sounds good. I like DroppinSuga as a target. See my comments in the day1/night1 thread. I know him well. But if he is aligned with others he will definately show them.
Just one thing with the wording. You use the term "I want to offer you immunity tonight" then say you will protect him tomorrow. I think you may need to be clear about night 1 and night 2 so he doesn't get lost in what he is being offered.

Hehe, that's actually intentional. If you leave it vague and don't specify what nights and things, it could be Night 100 that I'm offering. Be careful about making a deal with the devil.  |

Also, in case it is not mentioned anywhere, your target will have the next day phase to think their decision over and must provide an answer at the start of the next night phase (where they will receive their result, or be blocked and silenced)
(As sometimes people aren't online so they can't answer in the current night phase that I send it)

And after thinking some more on it. I'm going to add in this line.
"If you speak of this offer, I will consider the offer declined."
This will help to make sure that they don't mention it in the thread.

I think when you're new you belive notes and things. I know I fell for one when I was Mafia in Superfriends DVD Mafia. Stupid thing accidentally outed most of the Mafia and screwed us up. We also had some bad luck with Night Kills, but it was a learning lesson. Never believe or trust notes. I'm thinking I'll send one to SLVRS4 next to see if he will take it.

Update on Suga. He just posted this today on my other social board. He and his wife were going for their 20-week ultrasound this morning to find out what gender their child would be.
"I just wanted to let you guys know that I may be AWOL for a little bit. At the OBGYN we found out that our baby probably died about 2 weeks ago. My wife needs to either give birth to it or have it removed."
Needless to say, I don't think he will be around much for a while. As a man with a pregnant wife right now, my heart goes out to him.

He and his wife are both in my prayers, along with ChiRocker's family.
My wife is 17 weeks along so we go at the end of the month for the 20 week ultrasound to find out what we're having. Every time they do an ultrasound, you always hold your breath unitl they find the heartbeat so my heart definately goes out to them.
