Hello, I asked PMom to let me have my spot back because I didn't know that Ecco actually put me into the game. I apologize, PMom.

moat if we are both town my happiness will be complete but now i've sobered up somewhat you should probably kill me today.

the best and greatest rule with mafia is play to win and i am town but boy howdy i'm also a paranoid gun owner death miller (not sure if my flip is the scum alignment tho)

i am not a good enough player to make this work in towns favour and i don't want cops/docs dying to a misplaced hail of bullets. claiming is a problem also cause if scum have a redirector they just gunna feed townies into my fire, but i think its better than sitting on this info.

please kill me painlessly, and win as town for my sacrifice

if you let me live (don't) i'm pretty sure ecco said that bk and monathin were immune to my paranoia and should visit anytime!

AS dies today, we win before it matters, or we probably lose in lylo because that issue decides that lynch to the scum�s advantage.

Haven�t fully caught up but yeah.

hi merk! do you think i'm scum?

I do not know. I do not want to get to lylo and have to figure that out, likely resulting in a town loss.

You've claimed something that Ecco would never put into a game. You need to die.

I'm kind of caught up. Went to a birthday dinner tonight and read on phone when I had a chance. Will post more in the morning.

AS is the right lynch. If you need convincing, ask me questions.

It would be more of null tell on D1 but to use that as an excuse to not offer reads on D3 is more scummy

I just replaced into the game. This looks pretty fake.

AS's claim of flavor and alignment seems to line up with that put forth by Mona, who was killed during the night and flipped an alignment other than town. Why is AS appreciably different in this regard?

Atomic Soda posted:

i will flip 'wild-aligned' when i die, there is no confirmation that this is the scum alignment

Hal Incandenza posted:

Doesn't seem like anyone is claiming to be an asset here. Voting AS is probably right, especially since the PGO can be weaponized by the scum if they have the right roles.

I guess it could be a really sneaky lynch-bomb trick or something

Hal Incandenza posted:

Do you have a better option? (besides me)

AS has boxed us in. Can't investigate. Scum won't kill. Will flip scum. They either stay around as a distraction or we get it over with.

Hal Incandenza posted:

I mean maybe if AS was in here dazzling us with reads it might be different but we have heard nothing but the claim and "I'm not good enough to play this role"

Bottom line is the 3 options are:

1 - AS is possibly telling the truth but we won't know until the game is over and it will be a permanent distraction and possibly used against town. Also who would want AS in a LYLO situation?
2 - AS is a jester and leaves the game when dead
3 - Is scum gambitting and we won't know until the game is over

If someone has a great non-AS scum case today, I'm all for looking at that. Otherwise AS is kind of a detriment to town going forward. If I were scum I would want AS around as long as possible after that claim unless I was totally convinced she was a master scum hunter who would break the game open if left alive.

All solid mafia theory.

Hal Incandenza posted:

I dunno I feel like I�m contributing as I always do and I made some reads but whatever

I�d probably vote merk since PMom was not very good and merk as scum would love to hide behind �this person is bad for town� third-party/whatever AS is case. See Westworld game for a perfect example

It�s fine wanting AS dead but to use it as an excuse to not case anyone else is scummmmmy especially three days in

##unvote

This, however, stands out as fake. You've given no reads that matter in any way (Your Meinberg vote and AA votes are without explanation) and you agree with the position I've taken on AS. Yet, here you are with this vote right after I replaced into the game.

Sal is also someone I'd vote.

SalTheBard posted:

Let me make sure I understand:

AA cops Pod

Pod asks if he made a typo

AA thinks that's Pod confirming

AA misreads his PM

AA corrects a prior statement

Pod thinks that AA is lying about their claim

THIS GAME IS SO CONFUSING! I DON'T GET WHAT IS GOING ON! LET ME RESTATE FACTS IN A WAY THAT APPEARS TO BE HELPFUL WHEN IN FACT PROVIDES NO VALUE WHATSOEVER AT ACTUALLY FINDING SCUM! BY THE WAY I WONT ANALYZE ANYONE'S ALIGNMENT IN THIS WHOLE EXCHANGE

SalTheBard posted:

IS - Lean Scum. There are a couple of posts that he's made (especially in defense of some of his votes) that I don't like.
B- - Town. I'm not really wild about this fight with Pod because I like both of them. Really feel like B- is frustrated town
Hal - Has been providing reads, and has done a good job of pointing out others actions
Keane - Lean Scum. Mostly because of his posting surrounding the AA kill.

AS I have a question for you:

What made you change your mind from "Please kill me I'm a miller PGO" to "Ya I want to play, please don't kill me."?

He's leaning towards voting IS in a way that lets him explain it if he actually is required to by going back and doing the work. "a couple of posts" rings fake especially when you don't quote them.

This guy is trying to hide in plain sight.

CCKeane, I am going to need you to claim actually.

# ¿ Jun 12, 2018 22:08

merk: May 20, 2003; ##interact

Keane basically spent this entire game WIFOMing about council-aligned vs. wild-aligned. I'd also vote him. However, before we get to that, he needs to claim.

# ¿ Jun 12, 2018 22:10

I do not intend to claim anything until CCKeane claims, but I'd be happy to do so when that occurs.

merk: May 20, 2003; ##interact

If Keane isn't going to claim: I am council-aligned. I know this is a town alignment (as is apparently town-aligned). Keane didn't know that which is what prompted me to ask him to claim.

# ¿ Jun 13, 2018 19:48

merk: May 20, 2003; ##interact

I feel like wild-aligned is either scum or a fakeclaim for cult-aligned.

Unless someone comes out and says they are also wild-aligned, I'm voting AS and not looking back.

9 alive.

If this is a traditional cult, there are at most 3 cultists remaining:
n0: Cult Recruiter
n1: Cult Recruiter + Recruit1
n2: Cult Recruiter + Recruit 1 + Recruit 2
n3: Cult Recruiter + ~~Recruit 1~~ + Recruit 2 + Recruit 3

If there is a traditional cult and a traditional scum team for this size of game (3 scum), that means there are 3 town, 3 scum, and 3 cult remaining.

b-minus1 posted:

why would scum AS try to get herself lynched d1? If anything, a PGO balances out the cult recruiting ability.

That would be hilarious if alasdair tried to recruit AS last night

If AS is scum, Town is so bad now that I don't think AS was ever in danger of being lynched d1. Only Hal was making sense.

If AS is the Cult Recruiter, a "wild-aligned PGO" claim on d1 is pretty brilliant.

# ¿ Jun 13, 2018 20:13

merk: May 20, 2003; ##interact

I think Hal is scum.
I think AS is not town.
I am unsure on Keane but leaning not town.

That's as far as I've gotten before a reread, which I will do now.

I'm likely gone from this point forward. Please dunk a scum.

These posts came 45m apart. You couldn't go through the thread and figure out what you thought of Hal's alignment in that time?

Slamburger posted:

Thinking further, having a Death Miller die at some later point gives the scum:

1. Ability to argue gambit/scum whichever way benefits their fake cases with no answer until the game ends.
2. Ability to post non-casework content by trying to "solve" gambit/scum and/or egging on town that will inevitably also be trying to solve that even if its pointless.

So yeah, having a Death Miller survive for any period of time seems like a major pain, so sorry if you're telling the truth and Ecco gave you a bum role AS, but

So I am guessing council-aligned are non-VT town then, I suppose that makes an Ecco sort of sense

That definitely makes wild-aligned sound 3p/scum for sure.

Hi, hello.

Pod is cult, thank you, good night.

At what could potentially be COMPLETELY hosed status if we mislynch, you need to claim.

b-minus1 posted:

We still haven't been able to explain why 2 people died n1, and nobody died n2. Maybe cult couldn't recruit the first night? Do cults typically have killing actions?
There could be a town/3p vig. That person should consider claiming imo.

EccoRaven posted:

Dick Bastardly, Matteo, Villager (town-aligned vanilla), died in his sleep night 1.
Monathin, Cornelia, Inquisitor (council-aligned cult cop), committed suicide night 1.

Flavor is weird too on the suicide kill.

Radio silence from merk and IS.

I'm not here every moment of every day, friend. I've already claimed council-aligned. For flavor, I am a constable who was outside of town when the massacre occurred. I'm now here hoping to restore order.

I don't intend to claim my role, but I do have one.

# ¿ Jun 14, 2018 14:11

merk: May 20, 2003; ##interact

I have a theory:

"wild-aligned" can win with any alignment. AS sounds like a Survivor if that is accurate.
"self-aligned" can only win with himself.

That's the only way that I can distinguish what I believe are two non-town alignments.

In previous Ecco games, an SK is self-aligned, for example.
