It's role madness m8, everyone's got a role

admitting you've got a role is like admitting you have the capacity for breath, uninteresting and people will assume you do anyway

Curious how psychic may work in this game if its included too given that several roles rely on /whispers

Dislike this.

I'm guessing such roles are either not included or reworked and unguessable.

This is playing the mod / meta, and not the game. You're a better player than this.

It feels like it has been too quiet to figure much out yet. Still feels like early day 1 to me.

Extremely tired, been awake since 4am.

It's not really apropos of nothing. People lie in this game and being poisoned raises your townie cred.

From what I read, the cure roles do so at night. So dolly isn't completely hosed, even at the end of this day. Only way I can see that is in the unfortunate case that there's a merc in this game and their contract happened to be dolls, and also prevents other players from visiting tonight.

I'm new to ToL, is there OOT comms for the scums?

in the actual game game, yeah there is - there's a nighttime chat that the scum get thats allows them to prioritise targets and poo poo

also during day time everyone can whisper any other player, only the target can see the message, but everyone see's <x> whispered <y>

Your goal is to survive to see the Sorcerer defeated.

It is now Day 3.

Bested in combat tells me that Aa was murdered twice because he had the BP.

Blasted by magic + inquisitive tells me our third party is a sorc.

King Burgundy posted:

We shouldn't worry about him at this point unless he's counter claimed. He's stupidly claimed alchemist, so the poisoner will just poison him now.

I'll say for the record I don't like anidavs claim.

If he is what he says he is, scum will ignore him because he just has to survive to win, and that makes him a liability when we get lylo.

And if he's not what he says he is..

Who's not talking, who's sticking to the shadows?

im more inclined to believe the day 1 execute was a null tell because 1/ it's day 1 2/ it's cpig 3/ it's a reasonable use of power to actually use the thing

if you give a pig a vig, as someone succinctly put it earlier

i'm more thing about his comment about anidavs interests not aligning with bd because lol who actually talks like that and isn't grandstanding.

Well two things

the joke and my comment were unrelated, I was saying I thought you were scum, and I think you're scum because you're a weasel.

and the second thing is that a single comment does not a narrative make.

That post is beautiful.

I made one post about the nurse game, and it's a game you're still (rightfully) proud of.

I'm not denying I want you dead, because I don't trust you.

I know who I trust in this game, and you ain't it.

hey a thought exercise:

if you were a recruiter, who would you recruit first? the bus driver, the butler or just fire into the dark and hope for the best?

they were the first claimed, convertible roles yes?

I'd visit anyone who was "confirmed" by an information role myself

Beetphyxious posted:

gently caress i wrote a post and lost it while posting about other poo poo so here's a shorter version

you'd wait a whole night to investigate someone who, on the face of it, is probably telling the truth and is therefore recruitable /convertible?

that's kind of wasteful isn't it?

if they weren't recruitable / convertible you'd find out straight away so you haven't saved any time by investigating first.


so my hot theory currently is at least one of them is no longer BD

we're thinking in two different directions here

as a secondary recruitment target "confirmed" targets are a godsend because no one's going to look at them twice

as a default, day 1 day 2 recruit? I'd go for the loudest talker that you know isn't scum, and isn't TP.

TPs are a godsend for scum because you get to rule them out (they have their own direct wincon) and you can appeal to them in endgame to win.

So you've got the loudest talker, someone who's capable of driving conversation the way they want, and someone who can drive the narrative and driving mislynches.
