Did not think that would be the flip.
No clue who is Scum now.

I should be the next lynch, prob not wise to have me at LYLO. Am just Adventurer, and was wrong back in days ago, post weird, vote wrong, am sad. No clue who is Scum now, blind luck.

Not TNL, not kordansk. Rarity seems true? Quid claims Doc but may be lie? BHB still seems Scum. MMT not 3p? KK God Dad? TMM bad vig, not post like he tends to? No clue.

I'm Town, but there is room to be wrong I think. I think MMT is the best lynch. Will not cry if I go.

Quid looks def Town now, for TMM case, but why not save TNL?
Oh, but true, KK, Quid, kordansk are all Town since God Dad flip.
Rarity looks good for the read one more time posts.

MMT look BAD for 3p claim now, counter claim SK good for Scum, and be safe from Cop, like Miller claim, have to lynch by LYLO.

BHB less bad than MMT.

From my point of view, Scum saw I was on wrong track, would look like poo poo late game, good to bring along. Could lynch any time or beat in LYLO no prob.

I'm rereading Rarity and one thing I completely forgot (and others may have too) is that Jimson tracked her N1 and she didn't go anywhere, so if she's scum, either she's a ninja or didn't do the NK. I'm guessing they'd have hung on to the juggernaut kill and the roleblocker would have roleblocked, so the question is would you have the godfather do the N1 kill or a vanilla goon?

Other chance is MMT told lie, is not 3p, just claim to get cred for BK lynch and in case of Cop catch.

Well yeah, the game is essentially solved at this point. It's either you or Lumpen and barring some kind of CYOA madness we've got enough time to lynch both of you.

Lumpen, MMT claimed Survivor during N1, so there's only two options I see here that would make her scum:

1. MMT made a bet as scum that there was no survivor, BK wasn't a survivor, and got EXTREMELY lucky.
2. MMT is a rolecop & Kashuno screwed up and gave her her results in the middle of N1, allowing her to construct a fake claim knowing that BK was not the survivor - but would still have had to get EXTREMELY lucky that there wasn't another survivor in our midst.

That combined with this D1 breadcrumb leads me to believe she is on the up and up:
Well, OK, good points.

Ok, what was I doing? I was just having fun. Coming off a couple of hardcore tryhard Nailbiters, I wanted to just play loose and entertain myself.

So first I was sort of riffing on Kash's somewhat overwrought purple prose flavor style and the CYOA element, and just being silly with the third-person posts, which I tried to start each day with after I started that way.

Then I had a serious fever and I was thinking about my idea inspired by Allen Wren's simulations, of making a Markov Chain Generator to do AI Mafia posting, and in my fevered state I started just making some ridiculously long and disjointed posts with tons of nonsense Mafiaesque phrasing and purposeless namedropping. Rarity actually said that it looked like a Markov Chain. And that was fun, but limiting past jokephase because it was a bad way to communicate actual content, although it was cool for generating reactions and I laughed.

So since in this game we could post at night, and after several people said they could not penetrate the wordy posts, I decided that at night I would post monosyllabically.
I ended up also going monosyllabic when I needed to actually communicate.

The graphics were a riff on the "stroke narrative" that emerged, and a riff on people always acting like my Lists are nuts or too complicated, and a riff on my normal overconfident "11-dimensional chess" Mafia persona.

I have been thinking lately about how megaposts are skimmed, and my posts are especially skimmed, and how I tend to post verbosely with a lot of snooty vocab, and some of my later wordy posts were not such a semantic mess as the early ones, they were just ridiculously pompous runons and tortured vocab exercises. I was trying to channel HP Lovecraft and Thomas Jefferson.

Then finally at about post 75 I actually did set up a Markov Chain Generator and dumped in all the previous wordy posts, set it to generate 5000 words, and did very minor editing of the results. It was pretty funny when TNL tried to make sense of that post.

After that I just stayed monosyllabic to try to actually contribute and be comprehensible.

I figured this whole style would risk me being taken to LYLO and cause a Town loss, and tried to be sensitive to it, and was glad that it worked out ok.

I thought it was a fun and positive experience, because it prevented me from trying to make myself the center of attention all the time and overbear discussion, as I sometimes do. The game ended up being really fun!

I was not a fan of the CYOA effects in this game. I felt they detracted frkmt the fun overall, made the nights take even longer, and TMM's death by RNG was totall bullshit.

It would be MUCH better to have the effects of each choice OPEN and directly said, and for each path to have a balanced but intereting twist to the game day, and for the path to be decided using public votes during the day, so there is something interesting to argue about which can also provide hints to alignment.

So for example: you may go West, into the dragon den (if this is chosen the FIRST player who voted for it will be EATEN by the dragon, but the Town Cop gets 3 investigations tonight from talking to the wise sated dragon)<-- potential big cost, potential big reward, Godfather makes it attractive to Scum, makes a very interesting discussion of who will sacrifice themself
You may go East, and camp on the sandy beach (all actions for the night will be publically Tracked because of footprints inn the sand)<-- if Scum Ninja is alive, Scum will want this!
You may go South into the whispering wood (Random Busdriving of all players in the night) <-- useful if Town Power Roles seem to be depleted, could cause a Scum death if the Scum attempt a kill
You may continie North (no effect, default if no majority reached)

yeah I'm pretty sure the outer squares were who you thought were scummy and the inner was who you thought were town

Actually it was Town on top to Scum on bottom, like an inverted LumpenList
And for the Time Cube, it was Midday= Totally Town, Sunup=Tentatively Trustable, Sundown=Somewhat Suspicious, Midnight=Supposably Scummy

For the 4-d cube diagram it was inner=Town, outer=Scum, radiating out from myself

For the Masonic tracing board it was just matching people's claims or demeanor with symbology, it wasn't really alignment based.

I was very much wrong on that day with my reads, of course.
