I'm wondering if the cucu/pre-cucu strategy should be used here. That would mean KB investigates DB, Cpig makes DB his chancellor and then DB makes KB his chancellor. This should force any fascist to fake liberal or out themselves and the chances of all three of them being facist seems unlikely.

Theoretically that should get us to 4L1S since DB would presumably be investigated as liberal and then provide a backup check on KB. The danger would be if KB and DB are fascists together.

Rofl, this would obviously be way different in RL where people are sitting there and can yay or nay quickly.

But just like mafia on a message board, it is like herding cats to get everyone to comment on everything.

I was sort of assuming we'd be doing something like this regardless of who I picked. Like in the RF example, if he investigates liberal, Pig should draft him as his chancellor.

This is utter nonsense. Obviously RF should not be chosen. Probably strategy would dictate that I am also locked out from any admin until we have more info.

Hmm...well this is certainly interesting information and I'm going to have to ponder it for a bit.

On the surface, I think I'm more willing to believe KB than RF but that is mostly just a gut call. Plus, a fascist KB could have claimed that he gave me a choice and then used the investigation to claim someone was a fascist and thus lock two people besides himself out of government until things got resolved. And while the chances might be low, there is still the possibility that KB gets investigated before an RF presidency opportunity which would essentially ruin this whole play unless one of CPig/DB is also a fascist.

As for the Chancellor recommendations. I would suggest one of AA, kumba or me. AA hasn't been in government yet (neither has DB, but he's next up for President) and both kumba and I weren't given choices, so we should be able to get information from any of those choices.

I'm not sure I'd want to try either PMush or CapnAndy until after a reshuffle, but I think I trust PMush maybe a little bit more right now.

RF you're rad and I love you, but I'm going to vote against any government containing you or KB from now on.

The nice thing about this being not mafia is that we don't really have to guess which one, we can just contain both.

I'm about to start driving to Milwaukee today so I probably won't be posting much during work hours today, but I'm a little surprised to see that you've listed me as totally liberal. I mean it's right of course, but you may be the lone person in the thread thinking it. I would have expected to see myself in the neutral category.

I also disagree about CapnAndy, but that's because I'm a little paranoid. I'd rank him at neutral too.

Although thinking about it, I'm not sure I have anyone I think is totally liberal yet. I think the highest I'm willing to go is to mark you as probably liberal.

Also, I forgot that I was term limited earlier, so yeah the chancellor basically has to be one of AA/kumba.

Okay, then no reason to sit on this any longer, because I'm not confident in my Hitler-finding abilities.

I'm pretty sure that the remaining two regular fascists are PMush and TMM. PMush is mostly a gut read; I remember that she reacted to or explained something about her Presidency that struck me as immediately suspicious, but I've forgoten exactly what it is. She's done nothing since to allay my suspicions.

TMM is a bit more obvious of a case, I think. He's been talking and talking and talking and yet somehow it all always adds up to very little; he advocates bad plans and goes inquisitorial about why people won't immediately fall in line with them and yet doesn't defend the plans all that fiercely when pushed back, and always seems to have two opinions and three possibilities about any one subject.

I'll be voting no if either of them is made Chancellor, and also would obviously prefer the next investigation to be one of them.

Cool. So TMM and Pmush are liberal unless you are double bluffing us. Got it. :)

My strongest fascist reads are the obvious RF and the obvious to me CapnAndy.

One thing I'll bring up on Capn, is notice how unwilling he was to name specific names about who to investigate yesterday when I called him out. He just "liked the direction" we were going in, despite it being counter to what he initially wanted.

this is TMM as a person, not necessarily TMM as a fascist. his wordiness, convoluted and wandering as it may be, is much more in line with his good guy play imo. i would expect him to be much more reserved if he were fash

could be hitler, i guess, but i dont see TMM as a general fash

Jesus Christ dude, I'm more on your side than RF's, but you gotta knock off the blatant misrepresentations. I had a specific name I wanted investigated -- CPig, because he'd be President next. When it became obvious I wasn't getting that but would get someone who'd be President soon, I called it good enough. It's entirely in character with what I wanted, I just... compromised? That is also a thing.

I mean look, if I end up being wrong, I'll apologize after. But I don't think I am. In Social Deduction games, when people avoid making calls on specific people, they are hiding something. Almost everyone else was willing to make a call on someone specific in the near president list who they preferred. You on the other hand, just said you were good with whatever. Yes, changing from must be Pig, to someone else would be compromise. My problem is you didn't call out someone specific you preferred of the other choices.

Nothing about this is me representing you. This is what you actually did.

Fucksakes, man. Go back and look at what I said to you, literally yesterday. I'm sorry if I didn't call a specific name to your satisfaction, but my entire philosophy of who to investigate was not based on specific loving people I cannot make this clearer. If CPig wasn't President next, I wouldn't have wanted to investigate him. I wanted to investigate The Next President, I couldn't get that, but I got Someone Who'll Be President Soon and called it a good compromise.

I'm done repeating myself on this, you can either understand it or not. I have no smaller words to put it in.

actual edit: I quoted my own posts and then remembered that wasn't an okay thing to do.
