Asiina Keane and clord would be my meta picks from this roster.

Asii and RF bleed the same maple blood afaik and Keane and clord have good history with rf maybe a few others but those are my picks for lovely meta cases.

Yeah that’s the direction I was going. It makes more sense to figure out who the original thing is and kill them before trying for random infected people.

I missed all of D1 so I gotta go back and see what’s what there

Asiina asked earlier who our top 1 picks would be. I could be wrong but that seems like a great uninfected content creator to later capitalise on when one of those who answered flips infected.

i don't know if the recruitment hits before the nightkill, if it does, the game is actually unwinnable as town even with perfect play

Oh hey, I just realized something, Hal got the gun so he's uninfected.

Maybe this is how we figure it out?

I mean Hal could be lying but if no one counterclaims it's as good as a test right?

i don't think there's a downside for the infected to claim/counterclaim the nightkill if they have more than one infected

It's not your normal mafia game red, you're not gonna die from being tested so no big drama yeah? Gotta test someone

Apr 25, 2013

note that i say "other(s)" because i'm a bit fuzzy on the wording of the game mechanics

i.e, did we start with one person as the thing and they chose someone to make two vs we started with one actual infected person, offed one last night, and still have one remaining because the infection went before the nightkill

i mean, if i get tested, it means i'm cleared for that night's kill and that's it

it's not a good thing one way or another because it's not going to turn up scum today so it's a waste

i'm just laughing at using two, possibly three jokeposts as a rationale for using our one guess

From the way I read it there were two infected during day 1 (n0 recruit) and last night there would have been three. So we are back at two today. The original monster and either the first or second infected.

I thought the monster is the only one that infects, but the OP says creatures..

Again, anything is better than nothing. I don't think we're gonna get the usual scum inconsistencies and lack of casing as strong tells, but I could be wrong. There's also little risk in losing people, it's just wifom if they'll infect previously cleared players or not, but again we have to test someone anyway..

I'm trying different things and seeing what gets traction. My other idea was who would recruit RF first, if we know enough meta about them, and work back from there. AA mentioned a couple, but that's it.

since there's no OOT communication, meta kinda goes out the window

like, my go-to strategy as scum/third party is "kill productive town players first" because then you can control the discourse. this works better if you can coordinate with the rest of the scumbos to actually control it via fake opposition and bickering. here, the coordination element is out the window, so i'd probably want to establish a few people who can lay low and not attract suspicion until the game is a bit more in reach.

if anything in this game, i'd go scumhunting by looking at who wants to railroad a test.

infected people know who's going to come up as town, it's easier to parlay the railroad into "oh, he was acting suspicious so i wanted to make sure" because there's no death associated with it, and it provides the opportunity to infect the person just to throw the town off later.

looking back through post histories, i'm pretty confident about this vote based on jumping into bandwagons with little explanation:

You're at -2.

I'm just chilling right now and I don't really see a need to justify my vote, all told. This game feels rather different so I don't particularly feel the usual scum-hunting axioms apply. Test if you'd like. :shrug:
