I think Lumpen is trying to throw people off until one of them panics. It's annoying but it gives us info. I'm suspicious that Steak is lying about the extent of his power, but depending on what he's covering up it could be for town reasons. If he actually could double stack votes, that allows a double hammer - better not to reveal that until we know we can get at least one scum.

I would agree with your assessment of Lumpen�s style. I�m not sure I read Steak the same as you do right now. Steak has claimed essentially their entire role minus their own country. That would be a bold play to open the day as scum.

hambeet posted:

for clarity, are you saying you currently feel steak's claim and proof of his power are more likely town than scum gambit?

That�s my read on it at this juncture, yes.

Given the willingness to demonstrate, my read is that there�s less scum motivation to divulge that info D1 than there is town motivation to. I�m having trouble seeing where giving up that info that readily as scum helps his wincon- but I guess we�ll see how it develops.

Do you feel differently?

hambeet posted:

Hmm I think steak played it the only way you could play it, as either town or scum.

If you use that power without announcing it you'd rightly be jumped on, and that's independent of alignment. Scum who rolled that power would know it, town would too. So the best play is to come out with it for self preservation.

So I'm null on it atm, and just have to see how he uses it, cases, posts to make up my mind.

I guess it�s true that you have no reason to hide it at least on its base power?

If it were to upgrade to a straight tr-tr-triple vote, then you could wait and expose it to quickhammer someone, but that gives away the game pretty quick if you�re scum.

And with that, I�m out for a bit- it�s bowling league night.

I don�t have as much time today to dedicate to the game, so keep that in mind when you see my post volume today compared to yesterday, but:

xiw posted:

I feel like claiming anything about your desired target or who you are does nothing but help scum narrow down their night kill choices. While it'd be nice to have free upgrades i honestly would rather not know which player my target is because it might confuse me when i'm looking for actual baddies.

At this juncture we don�t know enough about how the mechanics will play out to worry too much about who each player�s target is, IMO. Like you allude to, it�s not guaranteed (or really even functionally possible) for a player�s target to be someone of the opposing alignment- my desire is to hunt scum and if that leads to an upgrade in the process, so be it.

xiw posted:

Could be trying to reduce the chance of a roleblock or track though by proving they don't have a night ability, so they can do the NK. Scum could be in all kinds of odd positions here with a role madness random setup - could be tricky passing up an action to get a NK in. Not convinced though.

Something about this post I don�t like and I can�t quite place it. It might just be looking at these two posts back-to-back and seeing the focus on mechanics over reads. Who�s looking scummy, xiw?

Lumpen posted:

After sleeping in it and then re-reading, I have reassessed Mr. Steak and I feel that he�s likely to be Town. I think the exchange was a slapfight but a productive one.

i like mechanics. They affect how scum will think, what scum's strategy will be, and who they'll push, and that's material to form hypotheses about when looking at people's posts.
