as did i

you literally have nothing to lose in an empty vote in an already established bandwagon, as opposed to explaining yourself and exposing a bit more rationale

so, yeah, not expecting any justification. well played, great job.

I feel like maybe you can try to find the original people but otherwise I can't really see the strategy in this game. It feels pretty random.

Re-testing an already tested person feels like a bit of a waste for now since at least with everyone else you have the possibility they were the original person + chance they were recruited, but retesting is just chance they were recruited.

Basically it's a higher chance to test someone new to find the original.

Of course now that I say this, it's no longer true as of tonight because the aliens know this and the chance is no longer random.

But all this to say: I won't vote DB today. Maybe tomorrow.

Yo I feel like the obvious move is to test people each day who are posting differently or people who seem to be behaving differently compared to an earlier day and treating each day independently?

this is probably the best solution if people establish posting styles

failing that, i'm gonna vote based on bandwagoning

It's strange too because any coordinating we do here could also be bad guys coordinating.

Like if each person, every day, lists their most scummy to least scummy then the things could use that to coordinate who would be safest to recruit without someone having to change their position.

Me saying this could be me giving my scumbros a good idea out in the open.

NOTHING IS SAFE!!!

I feel like it is mostly self explanatory, but maybe it is not? It is directed at whomever killed RF, we now know that it was Hal or at least hal claims the kill and isnt very suspicious.

I wasnt expecting an answer or a claim on the kill, but here we are.

If you weren't expecting an answer or a claim on the kill, why ask it?

Do you think it's more useful for the town to know who is shooting, or for the infected?

Because it seems like trawling for information.

if we weren't in antarctica, we could solve this right now by challenging people to eat a bug

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

Maybe this is how we figure it out?

I think this boils down to mod night action resolution order.

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

well were are still playing so either RF was the recruit or someone else was recruited by RF and that action precedes NK

that's what i mean

if the order goes like this:

infected recruit someone
uninfected gets a gun
gun holder shoots a dude

then the town can't ever get rid of the infected people period because there's only one kill, even if the town knows who the infected are at all times

if the gun getter goes first and then the infected recruit, then it's winnable

if the infected have to choose someone to do the infecting and it stops if they get nightkilled, it's almost balanced

*sneakily drawing redneck's blood whilst distracting him*

Can we assume RF was recruited by an original thing thats still alive then?

##vote redneck

no

the only thing we can say definitively is "RF was scum and hal probably shot him"

we can't even speculate on the number of scum:

scenario a: probably what's going on

code:

infected chooses someone night 0, two infected
infected chooses someone night 1, RF dies, two infected

scenario b: less likely, more beneficial for town

code:

infected chooses someone night 0, RF in original day 1
RF chooses someone night 1, gets shot, one infected

scenario c: worst case nightmare "cpig hates town players" scenario

code:

infected chooses someone night 0, two infected
each infected chooses someone night 1, RF gets shot, three infected total

i think scenario c is the least likely just because the game is over tomorrow if we don't shoot one of them tonight

You know I was going to say something about the day kill but right we don�t have one? Or do we get to beat the infected person to death or whatever if they fail the test.

I probably should be reading the OP or something

Da OP posted:

The infected/uninfected status of the vote will be displayed as the flip but that player will not be dead.

so it's basically a big glowy sign that says "SHOOT / DO NOT SHOOT THIS PERSON", not an actual kill

Yeah... well there is no way they get to infect more than one person every night then but yeah this seems like a doomed scenario

# ? Oct 23, 2018 02:00

unless the infected team has to choose someone to do the infecting and we nightkill that exact person

but things look Grim�

so stop voting for me and test someone who might actually be scum
