I think we're missing the real point of D1, which is that beet isn't going to shoot after claiming a dayvig.

Yeah that sounds pretty dodgy if true.

Anyway, I'm still only really half paying attention rn - am I understanding it correctly that cube just always claims doc?

It's not a meta case, it's based on cross-game behavior yes that is why I'm annoyed if Cube is actually scum leveraging his flip in an active game for an advantage

You don’t seem annoyed at all tbh, and aren’t you the one who brought it up?

So in my opinion we should consider Cube's claim in context of the other game (which would break community ethos), or disregard any cred Cube can get for claiming doc. So let's do the 2nd one

It shouldn’t have been brought up at all tbh but sure, let’s do the latter. Maybe I misread your intention somewhere.

He always claims it WHEN HE IS ONE. That's the important part. If he is lying this time it would be breaking the pattern which has gone like 5 consecutive times Cube was a doc-adjacent role

Just because Cube has mentioned it in earlier, closed games, doesn't mean it would have been a given that people pick up on that breadcrumb. In context of a certain other game happening right now that shares a lot of players with this game, the opposite can be assumed to be true. That is highly relevant to this game.

I understand that to maintain his pattern, Cube would have to post that if he rolled doc. However by doing so, he made knowledge of the other ongoing game necessary information for this game. Cube could have elaborated to make this thread stand-alone but he chose not to

Okay, that makes more sense. I'm still not entirely sure if you're trying to imply he's lying or not though.

Stop trying making it out to be this scummy thing.

Real or not, people do content games all the time.

I care a lot more about the reactions to the vig personally.

See this doesn’t seem annoyed, this seems you really want us to be aware of the likelihood of him being a doctor adjacent based on meta and the next logical extension of that, to me, is that you don’t want us to kill cube today regardless of how much you’re wringing your hands about proper play.

If someone accusing someone else of lyling in a mafia game is causing a stroke, you might consider that perhaps your sensibilities are too delicate for this game!

Conversely it could be a stroke of genius.

I think what Keats is trying to do is: make it absolutely clear to everyone (not just the people who picked up on the unfortunately overt breadcrumb) that I've softclaimed doc, or doc-adjacent (or, eventually, I'll do the same thing as a PGO).

In this way, Keats is making sure that people pushing on me from that point on, or shooting me, or whatever, are doing so from a level-set position. So there can be no ambiguity in the future, when retroactive analysis comes back on "Well, they actively were voting a claimed doc (or doc-like, or plausible PGO), that's not a great look."

This should probably be interpreted as non-alignment-indicative for Keats' play.

Yeah and that’s is my point, I don’t like the feeling I am getting about how Keats is kind of dangling this idea in thread but also kind of casting doubt on it. Oh but it would break the pattern if he was lying this time, etc.

It seems to be of benefit to cube, more than anything else.

No it’s the part about the game being inspired and unvoting someone you’re still calling a liar that seems to not make sense.

Ooh I said why I was unvoting him. If he was the inspiration for the game, or half of it, or the spark or whatever, it seems kinda shady to try to vote him out D1. He is not the only scum.

I'm not calling Cube out for bad faith play btw, although it *would* annoy me if he is scum playing this angle because of the unavoidable consequences of not being able to discuss active games, but I don't think scum Cube did that willingly even if he is

However, because I can imagine feasible scenarios where Cube is lying this time, and discussing the nuance would be too confusing in vague terms, I'm going to ignore that Cube claimed doc.

My assessment of this day: hambeet said he had a dayvig, Cube seems bent on getting beet to use it. On him. Wologar leapt and was caught by three players. Cube made a subtle claim that pretty much seemed aimed at folks who were also playing another game with him. Stalinator begged people to sing opera so he could get their abilities.

I may have been skimming. I am certainly not going to go looking into other games.
