Curses! Foiled again!


I [would like to course-correct if you're town buddy, but that whole "hmm now I can't tell if Bif is still shitposting or not" once I just started getting all excited seemed a bit far-fetched.

Could you possibly elaborate more on what you thought binus' good idea was? That could dismantle a decent chunk of my case.

I think I know what Binus is up to and if he is town, it's a pretty good idea. Unless he's a scum PGO trying to murder all the power roles but that would just be loving hilarious.

Like think about it. Why would I as scum, put a giant target on my back by calling out someone who's under zero scrutiny while people are focusing on a lurker vote.

I actually like the idea of giving a bunch more abilities to one person so he can use them all without having to spend a turn ethic shifting and doing nothing. If he's town, then it's just completely beneficial, and if he's scum, then they can still only use one and none of the ones that would presumably be copied are useful to scum. Or you know, he's PGO and murders a ton of people but that would just be hilarious.

Wouldn't you rather let plastic play the game as an active participant and kill tommunist rather than hope tommunist isn't scum/that scum will kill him when it's very well likely that he'll be watched/tracked tonight?

Eh there hasn't been enough to go on yet, but Hal's up there for only suddenly coming out of his lurker shell at the last minute to start pushing this vote on me. Also not really fond of the Somber vote either but that's probably more OMGUS or whatever it's called. The rest I'd have to re-read.

Anyways, there's 20 minutes left so if we'd like to swap over before scum last minute hammers me in the name of getting a lunch I'd appreciate it.

To be fair, yes. And that's why I was being more chilled out and wanting to vote Tommu, but then that Plastic stuff really jumped out at me so I don't wanna just abandon it.

I will trust though that getting songs stuck in people's heads will suffice for now.

You think that 2-shot doublevote and 1-shot doc is the towniest role on the list? That is an opinion to have but doublevotes are a superpowerful scum ability too. I think a 1-shot doc is a worse power than a 1-shot roleblock in stopping kills, I think it's easier to nab a killer than a target. But that is neither here nor there, the question is, do you think everyone not b-lining it for a 1-shot doc is a scummy thing? Why?

No, but I think anyone b-lining it away from the 1-shot doc is a scummy thing. The roleblock can, unlike the doc, be used profitably by scum, or even inadvertently harm town.

Grandicap posted:

You also don't know my personality and what it would impact my ethics choices. And also, if you think there is a complex mechanic in the game and I'm not going to play with it you have different ideals than I have.

True, agreed. But I can only make judgments on the things I know. I agree it's a possibility that your personality makes it a good choice.

Grandicap posted:

There is good reason for a player, town or scum to change ethics. No ethics have bad powers, just differently useful powers. If someone is going to change ethics, they should use their powers, if they can, before they change to not waste them.
Doublevotes can be just as good for scum as a vig in shrinking LYLO. You are right that I am throwing away the power when it is least useful to use, but how does that make me scum? Double votes are least useful to use on D1 as scum too.

I think throwing away a 1 shot on d1 is not helpful to town, and there were other things about your case that made me skeptical it was made in good faith - choosing not to engage with any of the other discussion in the day, making your point about the binus situation in as noncommittal way as possible. The fact that you are also trying to move away from, in my opinion, the best town power is icing on the cake.

Tommunist, United Dyss Combine, Town-aligned, has been executed. You all intercepted this original role PM broadcast with your space wizard magic:

original role PM posted:

United Dyss Combine, Town-aligned.

Your empire is ruled by a military strongman who is head of both the government and all state armed forces. Your empire is composed of organic pops.

You win when all threats to Town are eliminated.

Beginning Ethos
Fanatic Authoritarian: Your empire's leaders rule with an iron fist and eliminate all dissenters. The state's paranoia has lead to many advances in covert surveillance which can be used to observe enemies both foreign and domestic.
Militarist: Your empire's martial prowess makes you a hard target to conquer.

Current abilities: 2 x watch, 1 x ethic cop, 1 x bulletproof

Personality
Hegemonic Imperialists: Your empire believes they are the rightful rulers of the galaxy and will stop at nothing to expand their territory. If at any point you go into a night phase with no available one shot abilities you will passively gain a one shot watch to use the following night.

Linked ethos: Authoritarian, Militarist.

It is now Night 1. Send your stuff in to OA because no way in hell can I figure all this out.
