If peramene DID cast something in the battle phase to aid her teammates, it was probably something that decreased damage taken.

If pera DID cast a buff during battle phase, what would you EXPECT to see?

But whatever, this could just be a case of people trying to play Super Mario Brothers 2 again or something. You haven't paid enough attention to what Cat's said anyway so this seems to just be going around in circles.

Even if pera did cast a buff, it could be a ploy for townie cred while the back row got blown the gently caress up instead. It proves nothing. We still need to play Mafia.

Same goes with peramene, since I'm currently voting fer her and all.

It certainly is possible! But in my honest opinion that would be a really poor skill to use when yer in the front row, spendin' your battle action only buffing people fer the next battle.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
I feel like buff talk went in circles and was pretty much pointless.

I believe SSV should be our choice today, they have been moderately scummy all game, and missing TNL's death doesn't help that any (even I know who died Bif right? I'm pretty sure Bif died in the battle last night

Everything about this sucks.

- you’re lurky as gently caress so YOU don’t get to pull the “so and so is in this game???” bullshit

I think withholding the NK for a tactical advantage is unlikely.

If we look at gamestate D1, B-minus went for a lynch and Inf was being Inf and had a tonne of heat.

You withhold the NK to generate confusion and a long term advantage in return for less initial damage, but if that's the case, scum were probably looking what? 3 days in advance for this to yield rewards? This is with the confusion of battles added on.

I can buy a scumteam doing that, but it seems like an awfully large investment for potential yield down the road.

I am not and I have now thrice told you that due to an enormous amount of picking and private complaint, I'm trying to buck against it. That means first and foremost taking a step back because when I go hog on anything, I can say so much it's loving deafening. As scum this is good but it's always detrimental as town. And a lot of work either way

Prince of Space posted:

I noticed you've been sussin' peramene all game and I wanted to hear your take on her. Now it seems like both you and Venom Soag are saying the same gut-feeling thing about her.

If peramene flips town, however, I'm gonna hafta assume that both Venom Soag and Tired Moritz are scum, and that Venom Soag was the one who eviscerated his own teammates in battle last night.

Even though I agree with your conclusion, I'm not sure I'm comfortable backing this reasoning, especially because I explicitly theorized it d1. Always gotta be super suspicious of chaining anything, especially when you're confident.

Prince of Space posted:

Mind you all, this here buff I have is a minor increase to all stats, lasts fer one whole day, and it can't be applied to those who're injured.

this entire line of questioning and/or confusing has either been blatant rolefishing that I'm disgusted to be basically trapped into checking the loving yes box so Good Play, I Guess but I cannot imagine that an upstanding texas citizen would make this mistake

I disagree entirely - a nightkill that doesn't actually kill could be withheld and the "recipient" for that day could straight up pretend to have been targeted. Nightkills that don't explicitly kill should - at least to my "permanent scum mindset" - be used utterly differently.

Add to that that KB happens to be the player who taught me this. In one of cpig's games, he was smart enough to realize that everything in the game was topsy-loving-turvied to the extreme on DAY ONE. He took all of the knowledge he had as a scum player - which fantastically enough did indeed include a list of all the abilities in the game lmao - and he realized that the nightkill was incredibly dangerous to use. Too many town powers were "traditionally scum powers" that redirected, or lightning rod'd. Targeting anyone for a nightkill was playing russian roulette, always. Instead of just accepting it and spending the insane amount of effort trying to manipulate everyone into doing as he wanted in nightphase (impossible without the support of a competent team, which he did not have) which is what I had theorized I would do with that information, he realized that there was only one surefire guaranteed kill in the game: town's vote to execute.

Unless I'm mistaken, he is in roughly the same position now, which makes him an incredibly brilliant adversary who also happens to be playing a faction which heads, so Holy poo poo Sara, he's simultaneously town as far as he's concerned, which he (disappointingly) prefers to play as, and can leverage his absolutely loving masterful scumbrain. It is entirely possible that KB would experiment to see what the NK does and then never use it again unless to specifically help buy cred for a prior fake target. Without explicitly knowing what it does in fact I'UNNO, but don't ever underestimate scum!KB.

Okay, so the game is effectively super role madness. But, if we assume a scumteam of 4-5, they have knowledge of 4-5 roles. If additionally they have a diverse set of roles it's likely that they have a decent read on town capabilities.

You're correct, in a game with swarms of redirects and lightningrods your best choice as scum is often to just not NK because you have no idea what the drat thing is actually going to do.

But this isn't how I perceive soldiers. My character sheet gives me no out of battle actions during the battle phase. Given that nobody has reported outside of battle actions during the battle phase for the past two days, I have strong reason now to believe that this is universal.

Given scum are likely to have known that this was universal since they have multiple character sheets to check, it seems likely then that they have no reason to fear a redirected night kill.

Even if the target doesn't die, scum can pick players who seem like they have strong abilities or whose confirmation as town will make it more likely that other town targets die in the future. This benefit is at least similar to the gain granted by choosing to withhold the NK.

Logically then, I think that if scum didn't cripple someone D1 they would be making a large tactical error, so I'm willing to buy flerp.

Compared to the jovial attitude after the previous victory, things got downright acrimonious at Camp Mabry in the wake of their drubbing at the Mexicans' hands.

A handful of hot-headed members of the State Guard snuck off for a few head-clearing drinks at the local saloon. Draining mug after mug, the conversation grew steadily more heated as they tried to figure out who among them could be a filthy rotten traitor. All well and good, until they began accusing each other! Ultimately, they darn near trashed the place until Ma turned up to drag them all back to camp by the ear.
