I'm here, let's play this game. I would voting spacing or imgay, with Kashuno as a distant third.

What's with the sudden fixation on me? My vote on you was a joke, and so was the temporary tourettes, but I did have some real content yesterday. I'm lurkier than usual d1 but I've got some stupid RL poo poo going on and it's been hard to get into this game.

Also TMM asking everyone to read you: why? Why do you constantly need to be the center of attention?

I don't have any good reads right now, except that I hate everything and have to go to work soon. Are the votes on imgay serious?

This is going to sound hypocritical, but yesterday when I got into the slap fight with tmm I thought, dammit, I'm just making it worse, this is going to further distract the thread. So on a reread, Sam and Rarity both stand out to me for keeping that mess going. Which, as I said, I did, too, but I can't loving let things drop when I should.

Kash gets a pass here because the TMM/kash slap fight is a regular occurrence and appears to be alignment neutral.

There actually is a reason and it has nothing to do with wanting to be the center of attention. I've been debating on when I should make an announcement/give the reason, but I think I'll wait a little bit longer.

Oh. I'm sorry, I'm cranky and thought that was just another "hey everyone, please continue to focus on me" sort of moment. If there's a grander purpose to it, that makes me lean more town on you. Sorry to make you tip your hand early?

You didn't really tip my hand. I was hoping there would be more action after I asked people to make an alignment call on me. If there had been, I would have made my announcement while getting ready for work this morning. I'll just start working on the post now since I'm on my phone and it needs a few quotes.

Can't we all just get along?

TMMadman posted:

Over a simple question?

TMMadman posted:

Perhaps we should all just calm down.

So as you can see above, I'm the cop.

When I got my role PM, I knew I would have to claim on D1 because lately I've been the N1 kill due to my play style. Since there are only 2 scum and both have NKs, I figured claiming was the best chance I had to survive N1 and be able to provide some kind of benefit to town. I'm assuming there is a doctor out there and whoever it is absolutely needs to protect me tonight.

So I asked for people to read me to try and determine who I want to cop tonight.

I think the lynch should probably be one of imgay, Rarity or Samfu. Imgay seems to be trying to taunt a cop investigation and that doesn't sit right with me. Samfu was the third vote at an opportunistic time and has stuck with his poor reasoning to keep his vote there. And I made my case against Rarity earlier. Another issue with Rarity is that she tried to say that the game needs to breathe, but with 2 scum NKs there really isn't time to let the game move slowly.

So there you go, all my cards are on the table.

Yeah, pretty sure Rarity is scum now. Just look at that response. It's not a bone headed move. It's the only move I could make that gives me the best chance to survive N1 and provide town with a cop investigation.

I was the N1 kill in sedatefia and I was poisoned on N1 in the binding of Isaac game. It doesn't happen all the time, but my choice is claim and hopefully live through the night or not claim and most likely not live through the night.

Remember with 2 NKs, this game goes into lylo on D3 unless a scum gets lynched D1 or D2. So it's a pure numbers game and thus claiming cop when there is most likely a doctor is the best available play.

TMMadman

Also by claiming now, I can hopefully provide some insight into the scum teams makeup. If I end up dying in the night then the scum most likely have a juggernaut. And if I live but can't get a cop investigation and there is only 1 kill then they most likely have a roleblocker.

I think that was a v bad claim and I don't believe it at all. You are under no pressure right now and claiming cop d1 is the least town play a cop can make.

Lol Kash. It's a 3 day game. Claiming now is the best available move when I believe I am most likely to be killed on N1.

So you're going to go down that route again? Once again, if I haven't lied about a D1 claim yet then why should you assume that this is when I would start lying?

If she is replacing out then she shouldn't really be making plays in the game. If she is staying in the game then I'll apologize.

Kash, stop and think about it. I only get 2 investigations if I'm lucky and chances are that one of the investigation targets will die on one of the nights anyway, possibly both.

Claiming is absolutely without a doubt the best move I could make.

Highly disagree. If true, you have outed a town power role with very little pressure on you, for no gain. It is not advantageous to town at all to have a cop claim so early. Assuming town has a doctor, scum can now safely assume that you are going to draw power role protection tonight and spend their two NKs elsewhere on the chance you hit scum tonight. You will go into d2 not dead, with two other townies dead in that scenario and unless you bag scum for sure you are in a very serious position of being the lynch and forcing town to test your claim. If you do hit scum, you have to hope town believe you. If there is no doctor, or the doctor doesn't believe you and chooses to shield elsewhere, you can die. If there is a jugg, you die. There is no outcome where your claim is an intelligent play, sorry.

You think I'm going to get lynched without a counterclaim? And one of those catches scum anyway.

And who I cop tonight is entirely up in the air. There will be 10 possible targets for me to cop tonight and I'm considering all of them.
