Why did you kill him instead of me, the person you were voting/pushing?

Not that I'm complaining, just wondering why you didn't kill the player you were convinced was scum/hard pushing to lynch.

Since scum knew what all the jobs were, that means all members of the scum team could make a kill night 1?

That's some bullshit setup if that's the case.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
I got caught up during the night, and was ready to come in swinging (or at least flailing a little...) but four deaths is making things that much harder to process. Plus D1 was already absurdly dense for being D1. New read occurring now, which will unlock all the secrets of the universe.

Four of our own have fallen, and assuming all stated true, it suggests a maximum of two scum went black mage.

We have Kashuno claiming to have killed Asiina. If scum, good job. If town, you hosed up buddy. And owe us a painting.

We also have stickup claiming to have killed Infinitum in what is either a clever fake slap fight concluded in his favor by force, or a loving dumb move.

Other things to consider: death reports may not be 100% reliable, but let's look at the spread:

MMT: White Mage. :palmon: RIP bestie
Gulagdolls: Monk :eng99:
Asiina: Red Mage :lumpen: kashuno
Infinitum: Red Mage :lumpen: stickup

Now if I remember my ancient 8-bit Theater, White mage is obvious, red mage is... variable? Lots of different things? I'm not sure about monk. Ki? Punching things? And you say there's more jobs coming?? Sheesh.

Assuming that Kash and stickup were both above board and just made bad calls. (Happens to the best of us.) If you were a town BM, and you hosed up, it'd help to come forward I think.

If we don't get confessions, we can at least make an assumption that scum targeted an unclaimed victim and assess.

Obvious counterpoint: but pera, you could have rolled BM, shot your bestie because lol ultimate betrays, and now have the perfect way to leave a hole and make this argument and gently caress with town.

I did not roll BM. The job I took did not have a killing ability of any kind.

If anybody can prove this, that'd be nice of you. "But what if?" then okay, there's your case against me if nobody fesses up to one or both murders. As much as I love MMT my fondness for Gulag has also become known. Asiina as well. Even Infinitum and I, he may stomp his feet and shout, but I respect the man. Knows who he is deep down inside. I like that. That we have even have two town that blew their loads N1 I can hardly believe.

I don't know. Moat? IS? It'd be nice to hear from you, obviously. Y'know, when you have time to post.

Any scum that didn't and can afford to are probably gonna take advantage of the 1off NK and it's gonna gently caress us.

Kash and stickup, why claim responsibility so quickly? Just wanna hear your reasoning mostly. Sucks to waste a one-shot on a townie. But you coming out straight up and saying it makes you look good and "reveals" your class. If either of you are lying, you're taking credit for kills to attract attention to yourselves and away from the actual killers?? Maybe??

This has been another massive word vomit post from Sara. Peace for tonight.

Personal Addendum: Bet you laughed your rear end off when you got your role pm, MMT. Bet you've been so excited to tell me. Sorry I found out this way. My flavor isn't anywhere near as fun.

I'm a 3P Survivor. I had a chance to become light-aligned if I found Desch during the night, but Desch is dead. Just letting everyone know.

When I still had a chance to become good I didn't want to claim, but now that I have no chance, I figure it would be best to just come out and say it.

cpig sent a pm about skill level that says advancing a night + using a skill means I am now level 3, which was another shot of vig

the bolded part just makes no sense. why would anyone do that?

I didn't realize we'd be advancing in level so quickly! Regardless.

For the sake of argument, let's assume "you're" scum, alright? You and buddy2 know that you can switch to the right roles and get kills, but you also know people who get kills are going to draw suspicion.

So, you were already being targeted (tunneled?) - maybe you're doomed today anyway. Say you killed Asiina. Really buddy2 did. But if you manage to survive today, not only do you now realize you have a second kill - something a scum stickup would know in advance and something a town stickup would not know in advance, theoretically scum could cycle through jobs with kills and slaughter a bigass chunk of town. Buddy2 lurks just well enough or remains in just the right light to not be identified and lynched. Scum could theoretically identify a path of least resistance where for the cheapest CP possible, they swap roles effectively enough to take advantage of all possible ways to kill town as quickly as possible.

With a setup like what you're telling me BMs have - and I have no reason to doubt you, scum knowing how to get the most kills as quickly as possible is the whole loving game. Unless we have some kind of protection mechanic I haven't found out about anyway.

Or somehow we can revive a bitch. Who knows. CPig crazy.

The balance between scum knowing what job we are and what those abilities are makes claiming very dangerous? I think?

What do I know, somebody more experienced and not have an awful night loving figure this out

Sara this is what's called setup spec and is mostly useless and is just a good way for scum to look like they're posting content and aren't really doing much. Also I agree with stickup that one scum taking credit for another scums kill makes very little sense.

I'm having trouble finding a place to dig into this game and make any real solid reads. Semi-stream of conscious reactions as I go through it yet again.

I don't like BK's D1. Even with his 3P claim, it feels like he tried to drag joke phase out longer than anyway, and made weird forays out of it just to later retreat.

BottleKnight posted:

awkward post

next response:


The awkward came across to me as actually trying to make a point, after which BK retreats to jokes for most of the rest of the day.



Getting to the Asiina/KB bits, I can see why things got so heated. Asiina was apparently (we know now) coming from a town viewpoint, but doing a very poor job explaining her point.

Combining "I expect much more out of town KB" with posts like

Asiina posted:

Which part? That there's barely been any content and 150 posts took like 15 minutes to read or that I would have voted for B?
really introduces a disconnect in thought.

BottleKnight posted:

Asiina, Sara, welcome to the wildcats

Joke phase is pretty much over, and here BK is, going strong. Also Kash. I haven't seen Kash try at all so far.

Yeah, I mean, i don't know if we'll be able to solve for who the scum are, depends on the abilities. But I think we could probably protect against the onslaught of kills? At least a bit, if we shared what all the roles do so far.

I doubt it would be solvable, cause anyone could've freely chosen anything.
