So how are your respective days going, pals?

It has been okay. I am back at work after being sick which is good in that I'm back to work but bad in that the first day I worked this week is Thursday because I just don't want to be here. Which is why I am posting itt instead.

at my old office everyone had macs and I know they're probably the same but it was dumb. also my boss worked outside the office so I'd rarely see her but whenever I did she always SNUCK UP on me and of course I'd have something stupid open and I'd be left stumbling over my words and then she'd do this smirk thing that says "I don't care but this is funny to me also try harder next time." it was embarrassing.

I have almost had a similar interaction with the CEO here twice (him just randomly appearing at my desk), but I was lucky enough to have closed out of the nonsense I was looking at and actually be working when he did show up.

Per gut, I don't like the MMM vote. I'll be around to make posts and generally be useless content wise tonight if anyone wants to laugh about the Cowboys/Giants game with me. I'll be around making Actual Good Posts tomorrow once I've had a chance to reread things.

Birdstrike posted:

haha another new prime minister :hurr:

chaoslord is rarity full of BS?
Also if you're a cop who can have a masonbuddy why wouldn't you investigate your masonbuddy to make it a confirmed masonry?

Rarity told the truth.

I thought it over but in my mind it was worth the risk to not bother. Rarity's play hadn't bothered me and it seemed like we were going to have a good masonry. Combine that with this being a smaller game and I made the decision to roll the dice. It also has seemingly worked out in my favor, apart from the being outed thing. Rarity doesn't believe me anyway so what good is me confirming that Rarity is town when the masonry at this point is dead? Like, I get all town results from a cop are good, but now I haven't "wasted" my cop to preserve the integrity of the masonry because I doubt Rarity will be involved with it anymore. I have a cop result on a person I ended up agreeing was worth a look, which is more useful to me personally.

Worst case? Rarity + MMM Scum team where MMM is the godfather and she pointed to me to clear him. I don't believe this, but that's the logical extreme for bad end of things.

Best case? All three of us (well, four including Asiina) are town.

Furthermore, chaoslord's PR is clearly the masonry that he made with me so him being a cop as well is incredulous.

Feel like I should clarify here, my PR is the cop, the masonry was granted as my "buddy boon"

But even more obviously, just lol at Opop both misunderstanding how buddycops work, and claiming buddycop with a dead guy to claim VT. :dance:

##vote Opop

This is the point that I'm hung up on.

Rarity is claiming that as the Buddy Cop, they sent results to Asiina, a VT.

Opop is claiming that as VT, they sent results to Section 31, a Buddy Cop.

Those can't exist together, surely, which is why Opop is voting Rarity. I keep going back and forth on who I think is lying about it though.

Well poo poo - this all became a mess over the last page or so.

The whole thing with Rarity and Chaos is weird - but with there being a buddy-cop system in place it just seems really off that there would then be normal cop. As much as the :spooky: Rarity curse :spooky: concerns me, I gotta say...

the buddyless cop is no buddy of mine. :colbert:

Opopanax posted:

Chaos, why did you claim, anyways? And why not check Rarity right away?

I decided to take a gamble. This might end up being the last game I can do for a little while so I thought I'd try something different. Worst case I'd get NK'd N1, best case we're both town and I didn't "waste" a night trying to confirm a masonry. Obviously a cop result of any sort is never a waste, but it seems like a waste of a result to do it backwards like that.

Sure, ideal play is to not claim and cop them N1, I won't argue that at all. If Rarity is town, though, then investigating them N1 would have led us right back here because Rarity would have the same reasons to doubt my cop claim as they posted already. Which means the cop(s) are outed and there is one less result (MMM being town) to go around.

BottleKnight posted:

I believe Amoeba said that the buddy power stuff was assigned before alignments and roles were assigned. So that means that anyone, town or scum, could be a buddycop. So why would they try to correct someone else's buddy power claim unless they had the exact info to do it? It's ridiculously risky as scum to correct someone else's claim if they don't have the exact information. So I'm saying that 1) I don't think scum would fakeclaim there and 2) I think claiming a buddy power (or correcting them, whatever) is alignment neutral unless you are caught lying.

To anyone reading this, if I am wrong about the layout of this game then please correct me!

I like the cut of your jib. I absolutely cannot fathom what scum opop would have to gain by CCing there. I also have a hard time seeing why scum rarity wouldn't have just pulled the trigger on me. I know there are plenty of reasons you can come up with for either but I don't buy them.

The buddy power thing is a unique mechanic to this game, so I can't really speak to how expected or unexpected any of this is. Cops, as well, are a huge variable that differ greatly game to game. Nothing is 'usual' about any of this in my experience, so it's impossible to rely on setup spec until we have more information. That's just my take on it though.

I would say 0 or 1 cops is pretty typical in a "normal" setup, but yeah the buddy thing makes things weird

A game with a bunch of buddy cops, then a regular cop who is insane or something, would be Amoeba as gently caress. I don't actually have any evidence to support it but I'm not going to be surprised if there's something wrong with choas. Assuming he's telling the truth.
