He says

King Burgundy posted:

Mine is super useless. Thus me using it in advance for the next 10 days. Doesn't matter.

but I think it was cover. If his power was so useless, why make sure to get it in early, and why so far in advance?

If a third of us are scum, this gives us 10 town.

Zetsubou-san: Please explain your vote against King Burgundy, whats so anti town about queuing up night actions? Off the top of my head I can already think of at least one relatively "normal" night action that would actually benefit from being queued up in advance, ie Busdriver. There are likely to be a few weird night action roles in this game and I think the mechanism of being able to queue night actions up in the first place implies that at least a couple of them aren't going to necessarily rely on game content for their utility.

you really think a busdriver bussing people at random for such an extended time is pro-town?

King Burgundy posted:

Huh. This is actually nonsense. If you knew my powers, you would realize that putting in all my orders now for the rest of the game was the only thing that even makes sense.

Even still, I'm not actually convinced if that was the right move or if not ever submitting my power was the right move. It depends on the other roles in the game. Those were really the only courses of action that made sense for me. Never use my power, or use it in a way that makes sure I go before others.

thanks for corfirming for me that your power targets other actions, that is useful infomation. Also explains why you needed so badly to make sure your action goes as close to first as possible. Your claim of having a "useless" power is getting more and more shaky.

King Burgundy posted:

It is a thought that doesn't follow logically in the flow of your post. What does that sentence have to do with anything and where did it come from? Again, it feels like you are trying to make up content because you have nothing useful to contribute. But if you are saying we have five scum in this game, yes, I disagree with that too. I didn't think you could be saying that. Those numbers don't work. It would be way unbalanced. The accepted standard ratio is, I believe, 3 town for every 1 scum. So 5 scum for 15 players would be crazy.

I was working on the pessimistic side of 25~33% scum. That's where I got my numbers from.

Weird fabricated posts? On day one? Unpossible!

Oh well, guess my theory had more holes than I thought. Which is understandable since it's DAY FREAKING ONE and all. :v: I'm happy with your narrative for now.

That's some good thinking, but I'm still not seeing how this helps town in any way. The only way I can think of is if the busdriver can self-target for one side of the bus, but even then it even then it makes no sense to queue up so many actions at random. And being close to first to resolve is nice, but not super critical, since you would be targeting a person, not their action.

summary of my thoughts

if [kb is town busdriver] and telling truth about [10 actions] -> bad town play, better to be rid of him so town powers work and people get good info
if [kb is town] and also some [useless non-busdriver role] -> :shrug: We keep him around as town mascot, i guess. I now think this
if he lied about both the number of actions and then the utility of his role -> this is true :psyduck: In Front Of Me tier stuff, bravo. I apologise if I messed up some kingly scheme, here.
if he's scum -> :redhammer:

I'm willing to wave through a false

I'm not picking up any bad vibes from what Somber has said about how he used his power. It seems to be a safe way to use it for the sake of using it, and he left off of overloading his actions so he can make more informed decisions in later days.

The consensus in the thread seemed to be people wouldn't vote Somber, Morn was gaining some traction, and I figured that there was a chance that lynch might happen so I voted that way rather than leaving my vote on Somber who no one was voting for, and people were actively unvoting.


How does that not make sense, and how is that suspect

Good news, 1 person counts as people. And doing it more than 24 hours before this whole thing went down counts as "actively" :v:

chaoslord posted:

What did you think of this post at 10 minutes to deadline?

Looking at it from just the where the votes stand (4 to Morn, 3 to Somber) and the fact there were no other active posters around who weren't already voting for Morn - it reads as someone who is unsatisfied with a Morn plorp, and wants their vote on Somber to stand so they can point back to it and say "for the record I voted Somber and/or against Morn on Day 1".

But then I factor in the rest of Anon's stuff:

(responding to Somber)

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

You're ridiculous. Why would anyone do that? I don't understand your play and I guess I never will. I thought your tunneling someone on day 1 was a scum tell but I guess it's just your terrible strategy that you use in every game but never works

then votes for Somber later that day

then says twice he'll do a re-read, the latter being

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

poo poo I never got a chance to do the reread give me a half hour or so

then nothing until that post chaoslord highlighted above.


Yeah, anon has been super lurky and extremely light on putting forward any reads other than some meta on Somber. (similar arguments could be made against me :shrug:)

When I consider that behavior and then that post I can imagine that it could be a scum (who needed to post something before hammer after talking up doing a re-read) covering for another scum (morn, in this scenario) by not switching to the current Town favourite (after JakeP's vote Morn was leading, and with momentum).

Another scenario would be anon covering for a scum somber by denying a critical vote for morn in case any undecided lurkers are around (MC Eats, possibly others) that could hammer. If morn flipped town, then Town might look more closely at Somber.

On the gripping hand, however, Somber and Morn with anon could be scumtrio ringbarkus and are extremely chuffed at dodging a critical Day 1 scumplorp.

It's completely contrived to make it look like he's posting content, while not actually saying anything. There's no reason to even think there's a busdriver in this game afaik so it's a completely pointless post.

MC Eats had raised the theory about the busdriver and I was arguing about if preloading a bunch of actions as a busdriver was pro- or anti-town.

AnonymousNarcotics posted:

Here he's coming up with a lot of whacky theories about why I didn't change my vote from somber to morn right before deadline.

This is such a weird post. You're softclaiming an investigative role that received a result but without providing your result. You're acting like you 100% believe Birdstrike's claim and not even doing the first thing to try to press for more information; rather, you're providing their own excuse for why their claim doesn't match your own. But you're still voting them. Why do you believe your claim if you think they're scum, why do you think they're scum if you believe their claim? I think you're trying to see if you can put the brakes on the bandwagon without drawing suspicion by hopping off; if Birdstrike is scum you're my top suspect tomorrow.

But unfortunately he then preloaded cops on dead people for N2-5 and everybody apparently forgot that he had claimed cop.
