You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
You go get some more sleep, too. You're not thinking clearly.

There are exactly three options here
1: Ecco is town
2: Ecco is a godfather
3: You're lying
(Preview edit: 4: You're a naive cop. I don't think those even get used any more, do they? That would be a pretty bastard role for an experiment game.)

I didn't and still don't believe 3, so either Ecco is town, or a Godfather.

God I just want to turbo BK so bad. Weekend days are always loving deadzones, and I got poo poo to do Monday. I won't argue if town says wait, but if we no lynch because of no activity I will break a record in how loud someone screams the word gently caress.

I don't get it. The tone v content, the slapfighting, the "logic is logic" followed by contradicting premises, stating and restating the obvious just-not-quite there? either something is seriously hosed up with my sanity (in game, I mean) or Ecco is innocent.

you got it into your head (for some bizarre reason) that I was scum and you then looked at every single one of my posts with that thought in mind. it's pretty bog standard observer bias. in the future you would be best to assume nothing and let people's posts speak for themselves, not the other way around. or just have more self-awareness so you know when you're not acting rationally and you can act accordingly.

===

so as far as I can tell it's still pera/PMush or BK/?.

it still doesn't make sense for PMush as scum to claim jailor like she did. However, BK has been playing a more townie game, and it was clear he was intending to counterclaim PMush as soon as Mush claimed.

I kinda want to no-vote again. :toot:

scum can't kill anyone in that triangle, it would condemn one of their own. Scum would have to kill within AA/AYC/me, but doing so lets pera get another "investigation" out (and also lets you get a "jail" out and BK a "protection" out, since at this point everyone should be targeting AYC/AA/me for all their actions from now on).

I dunno, I'm not seeing the downside here, aside from impatience, which is not something flipless games reward.

IF BK IS TELLING THE TRUTH:

He successfully doc'd AYC, meaning either the scum tried to kill AYC or they withheld the kill. It also means scum (which would be pera/PMush) probably don't have a roleblocker since blocking BK would make a lot of sense, especially since then PMush could say "look, BK's action failed, that's proof! I'm what I say I am!".


IF PERA/PMUSH ARE TELLING THE TRUTH:

BK performed the kill last night but was jailed. Why would BK perform the kill? It would be a stupid thing, he'd have to either think the risk of getting jailed was very low (unreasonable, it was obvious PMush would jail the person she knows to be scum) OR BK is the only remaining scum and so he had to perform the kill.

BK being the only remaining scum means Quidnose was his scumbuddy, and BK then went into a hard bus on Quidnose (early in his posting, but halfway into Day 1 in reality) for literally no reason. In flipless games the scum suffer virtually no penalty for sticking their necks out for each other and receive virtually no reward for bussing each other. In this extreme case, Quidnose played a very scummy game and then decided to self-hammer (essentially sealing the "Quidnose is scum" belief). There was no reason to think that Quidnose would do any of that when BK voted for him or when BK cased him. By the time BK came back to the thread it was still very much up in the air about who was going down that day - it wasn't like Quidnose was a forgone conclusion and BK was just making a rational calculus.

BK's behavior doesn't make sense if Quidnose is scum. But if Quidnose was town, then it doesn't make sense that BK would perform the nightkill - he had to know he'd be jailed which would bolster the case against him.

Ecco what do you think of the possibility that we're at 4/2?

Consider the following possibility: We don't vote anyone today. Tonight, they either kill me or pera. Tomorrow, it's 5/3. One town vote on anyone means that BK and whoever come out and hammer.

The more I think about it, the more i'd much, much rather bet on my BK to put us at either 4/1 or winning, rather than I would at being put at either 4/1 or 3/2.

if they kill you or pera it condemns BK. Pera dying at night means (barring something stupid) she's town, and if she's town then you're town, and if you're town then BK is scum. the same analysis works for you, too. (it also works for BK.)

I don't think "a townie MIGHT vote for someone other than the one player who would logically be the scum in this triangle!" a very persuasive reason to vote for someone today over tomorrow.

I mean essentially if Kashuno decided that a "game to see if flipless games can work as normal mafia games" could also have things like insane cops, nightkill-less scum, and/or scum busdrivers in a closed setup, then it's a stupid game and I won't have appreciated playing it and won't consider a loss, on those terms, to be a fair one.

if we assume this game is a PieC9, like I suggested to Kashuno in the first place, that solves the game.

why kashuno wouldn't announce the setup publicly I don't know, but so it goes.

if this game is a (secret) PieC9, then PMush has to be lying - there can be no jailor in a PieC9. There can be a cop and a doctor, but if there's both a cop and a doctor then there's a mafia roleblocker. It doesn't make sense for PMush to be a mafia roleblocker since that would mean pera is a real cop, and so pera then would be a mafia goon, PMush also a goon, and the only town power role is BK the Doctor.

what are the odds that pera only thought to claim cop once I posted my chatlog. :raise:

This is the game we are playing now. It wasn't true yesterday. It is officially true today.

No-lynching is pointless. Since I've realized it, I know BK has. Neither he nor PMush can do the same person twice in a row; none of my results from here on out are worth a drat save a guilty on you or AYC.

And frankly? I know that isn't coming.

You don't actually believe it could be a PieC9, do you? Do you really think that Kash would use exactly the setup you suggested in the game you're in, with the gimmick that there's no flips? And if you actually do believe that, why the gently caress would you post the chat logs and then waffle about it. That's not scummy, that's just lovely-person.

You POSTED the SETUP

if pera believes I "posted the setup" by posting that chatlog, then pera would have to think PMush was lying about being a jailor (for reasons?) and that the kill was blocked (for other reasons?) but that it wasn't BK who performed it (for further reasons??).

it looks and feels like pera, who was clearly running hot yesterday afternoon, claimed cop because I posted the chatlog and she thought (not rationally) that this would be the best fakeclaim to make in the moment to condemn me and BK. then again if pera was not thinking things through fully, there's a chance she's truth-telling town doing the same thing.

but those posts still bother me.

this is a really defensive post.

I said it was a possibility. If it were true, then it would mean you and pera are scum together.

I believe it is a reasonable possibility; PieC9 is a standard, fairly-balanced setup. There's a chance he missed my suggestion (or saw it but decided not to run with it), but there's also a chance he did see it and did decide to do it.
