i actually think you were on to something though. solus failed to consider that *both* captains would need to choose members before town got their alignment PMs. because for scum, that wouldn't be the case. they'd get notified as soon as they were chosen (probably?). so i actually think you caught something in solus not thinking from a town perspective there

Wait wait, so if there are two teams and they chose at different times that would implicate a scumslip anyway right? Because how would they know how long the selection process took place?

Solus, what was the reason for your time stamp post? What made you think it was odd/an important point?

bif and solus are scum together.

humalong is probably on the other scum team (he didn't policy vote me, which is a scumslip)

hello friend steak are you possibly thinking of this post from me:

SolusLunes posted:

the irony of this is how quickly the game went from shutting the public discord channel to getting out the alignments (one hour to get to me, at least)

it's somewhat reasonable to assume the people who weren't online when I got my alignment aren't captains

they could be picked for a team, sure, so the non-captain list isn't really terribly useful unless we want to go down a giant meta rabbit hole

the one where I said captains, plural?

Also because you people are driving me crazy -- vig is short for vigilante, so it keeps the soft g, gif is short for graphics interchange format, so it keeps the hard g

p.s. vig with a hard g is a gambling term, because it's short for vigourish

because epsilon said "game when? game now" in discord at 10:55, locking the channel, presumably, you know, starting the game

also there was this post at 10:55:

and I got my pm for town at 11:05, you know, assuming that town PMs don't go out until scum's picked

pretty likely that both scum captains picked their team in that ten minute window- and epsilon opened the thread at 11:10 anyway

But isn’t that a bit presumptuous anyway? We’ve been full since taste joined last night, couldn’t the scum have had all night to get picked but one of them just slept in? Or am I missing something about set up, cause you assuming people began choosing at a specific time seems like you have more info then the rest of us.

Yes, but I'm presuming good mafia hygiene- essentially, it's poor practice to have a public open discord channel for the game if some alignments have already been distributed out. I assume that e+ didn't give out alignments until after the pregame chat was closed.

I would absolutely pick steak for on my scum team because he embraces the truest power of mafia, that of Never Stop Postin'

I actually did plan to pick you for my team if I was a captain, I thought it would be fun

which, they can't both me true.

i made a very jokey post about this discrepancy, leaving sci plenty of room to acknowledge it without any seriousness, because i was just playing it off as a joke. however, sci entirely ignored my comment, potentially nervous about getting caught in a minor lie and not wanting to draw attention to it
