In non-game stuff I am jealous of you people who are having nice hot summer weather. Once again questioning why I, a heat-seeker, live in Colorado, where in the middle of the traditionally hottest month of the year it is...73 degrees.

Nah, the solo would be the most likely to not figure out about the quad faction, thus the sus on Plastic and Sand

Plus I'd probably keep my head down lower so I could use my Super Solo Specials at least a few times - so far my luck as been getting Night-killed whenever I have a fun ability, which I don't this game (it's a useful ability for sorting out parts of this madness once some trust/cooperation is established, but it's not particularly entertaining)

And I am guessing but have no confirmation that that would be entirely too easy and their sanity is either anything but their alignment, or anything at all including their alignment.

Yeah this is basically where I’m at. Like whoever has the idea about trying to use delegates to ferret out a solo seems logical but it also seems to simple. Considering there seems to be more thought in just our role pms than I’ve ever put into a game I doubt it’s something simple that can solve this.

OK. The Paranoid Council puts forth this vote: ##vote Voodoofly

Keats, neverhelm, salad: any objections? whosoever has an objection, put forth an alternative vote to the table, and this cycle will repeat until none of us object.

non-diplomats: now is the time to speak up if any of the four of us lied about representing your team. i will treat silence on this matter as faith in your diplomat, as speaking up reveals your alignment

a recap of the strategy, in case anyone is confused (we're all confused)

quote:

Delegate #1 proposes a vote candidate.
Delegate #2 agrees with, OR vetoes the vote candidate (because that is their teammate), and puts forth an alternative.
Delegate #3 agrees with, OR vetoes the vote candidate (because that is their teammate), and puts forth an alternative.
etc, etc, down the line, until there are no vetoes... meaning we landed on the solo. this could happen within 4 vote proposals, or it could take until we've ruled out the entire lobby.

Im still not sold this is a good idea

but if you were going to do this we should vote a delegate and let that team internally decide who they want to expose to save their delegate



So basically delegate of mine don’t vouch for me yet

Hold it there for a moment Zoya. I don't know if we've all agreed to this plan just yet. While to some extent I agree to the idea of hunting down the solo (assuming they exist), mostly because they probably have way stronger powers than the rest and thus a potential threat, doing it this way will likely lead to a bunch of people's alignments being revealed first. And it probably wont be evenly distributed among the teams. For all we know, that could disproportionately help one team accomplish their wincon.

Honestly if we do go with randomly voting people and having them vouch then I think that a delegate should be forced to reveal one of their own along with a vote.

That way at least keeps it a bit balanced. If you are asking someone else to get outed you have thrown in some real consideration by outing one of your own.

Well for one, Zoya's suggestions just completely collateral damage the identities of basically every team.

Second, Zoyas team might have some specific interaction with the solo.

that's a fair concern, but realistically, probably all this strategy has done so far is made me a target for N1 kills

i am also open to every team open claiming team members, but that doesnt seem ideal either!

if anyone can think of a method of catching the solo beyond the solo accidentally slipping, or teams having to reveal a dangerous amount of info to eachother, please bring it forth... but i wracked my brains yesterday, did a pile of drugs and wracked my brains even further, and this was the best i could come up with

all teams revealing all members would be more "fair", but the round robin vote proposal strategy has a chance of catching the solo earlier before members are revealed. it also seemed to me that if we go in order, each team would have a member revealed at the same rate, up until the solo is caught, since we go in order -- but, to be fair, i didn't actually announce an order, and if we're not all online at the same time it could take longer than deadline to reach the finishline, so, idk

I’m just picturing a team that wins by eliminating a certain sanity. Like a group of bounty hunters

you don't have to believe me, but, we don't have any specific interaction with the solo

it just seems to me the categorically best D1 play we could do, and also the funniest subversion of the setup, is to take out the solo, and so i will be laboring in pursuit of that goal

I bet if we kill #17 we win because otherwise there is nothing stopping the four teams from pushing a no-elimination every day. The alternative is a long, drawn-out, political experiment.

Well that's what I signed up for. I think the first step is killing the 3P and then the game will largely stop being mafia-like and instead be a game of 4 competing factions. I'd like to make a final-two deal with the Paranoid team

I think there might be a better way. If there's something every team has seen, but the solo has not, we could use that as a code to flush them out by having everyone post something related to it. Not sure how I'd go about that, though. Something based on the letters in a mod message every team may or may not have received? I dunno.

well, i kind of suspect we've all got mirrored team comps (same 4 roles), just with different action results because of sanity, so you could do it that way

except, i can't see any way to actually put confirming that info into practice in a way that outs the solo

We were all told a way that roles are "normally" formatted, even though that was Cube's trick because this game actually has a maximum of 1 role formatted like that.

But maybe the 3P would have similar info to help them claim as scum. On the other hand, who would want to claim as scum? So maybe not. We don't know to what extent Cube expected us to claim immediately, but I have to presume he expected it a lot, after his last game

What about just a predetermined sequence but we use the sanities to add variable

Like say:

Normal 1
Naive 2
Paranoid 3
Insane 4

Start at player 1 (or 17 or whatever) and if someone vouches for that player we move down the player list by whatever the sanity was and keep going, skipping players that have been outed until we hit the solo

This keeps it random but preserves the ability to not out everyone unless solo ends up being last somehow?

If we do this I don’t care if I’m the first player.

i can't see it being any different, no? each team puts forth a name of someone [who is not on their team]

lets say that you are Normal-aligned, for hypothetical

in that scenario, delegate roulette would go:
paranoid suggests you
insane agrees
naive agrees
normal vetoes, suggests someone from the paranoid clan (outing you as normal)
paranoid vetoes, suggests someone from the naive clan (outing someone as paranoid)
insane agrees
naive vetoes, suggests someone from the insane clan (outing someone as naive)
