Suboptimal isn't the way to say it if he was genuinely asking us to use 1-shot abilities to, best case, give them to him.

Taking a break from my binus-induced rabies symptoms to state that this person appears to be actually thinking about the outcomes of our actions, which as we all know is verboten

Re-reading the setup, there's no alignment cops here, and just one shot at doc by each person who gets/shifts to a 2 point ethic? This seems like it's gonna be fun to play, yeah.

Lmao.

Look at all of these people piling on to say "Yami bad" with little fanfare after I pointed out a thing I found suspicious. Oh and nice that you cherry-picked a single quote out that shebang instead of all the ones where I explained my reasoning.

Like I haven't played with Epsilon much so I don't know if they just normally sound like that but does this seriously look normal to you people:

If you have a night action that you really like, I strongly consider targeting me with it n1. As long as you don’t kill me, it will be cool. I don’t care what you do n2 and beyond, but n1 you absolutely need to target me.

I would say that someone immediately begging everyone to visit him N1 isn't exactly an "alignment neutral" action.


Epsilon Plus posted:

It sure doesn't feel towny. It feels like scum relying on town seeing that part of the setup is open and not thinking about the part that's not.


Epsilon Plus posted:

okay, let's just all do whatever someone suggests without thinking about it at all and see where that gets us


Like EP is literally going from "B- asking for people to visit him is scummy because ~bad things might happen~ to ~Sure go suicide into b-'s possible PGO you lemmings~ just because I was like "Uh, not really, it's stated in the OP that there's multiple ethics that work based on visits."

EP sounds really defensive to me here but suuuuuure I'm the scummy one here. Whatever, I'm going to wait for the voters on me to actually contribute an actual worthwhile explanation other than mafia buzzwords or "lol yami bad".


also @Bif I've looked over it again and I can't really comment on the humor segment because I, as a german, have no humor. But this whole B- thing kind of stinks as a "scum throwing poo poo at the wall to see if it sticks, only to backtrack too hard when it gets called out?" kind of deal?

there are definitely possibilities other than b-minus being a PGO (and a scum PGO is wild IMO), including possibilities not listed in the OP

because they're unknown, and we love rampant speculation. if we suss out something about personalities, that's more information for town. it's also, frankly, fun!

This is one point I was trying to make but didn't know how to word it nicely, lol. Binus doesn't always play in ways that are helpful to town - can you imagine binus with a vig if he copies it from someone?

I'm hesitant with binus, if people want him to have copies of their abilities that's up to you. Don't be surprised if it bites you in the rear end later because you believed he had town interest in mind over self interest.

I don't think defusing actual game discussion with jokes D1 is such a solid move. I agree with you that it's flimsy stuff for a case, but we can take that up when someone's making a case with it.

Anyway, I sort of said it obliquely in my last post, but I don't think a mass-visit is in our best interests. It would be hard to see how giving up a lot of 1-shots would be worth whatever benefit binus gets.

I agree, I think we started getting kinda serious all of a sudden. Binus going on a mass PGO rampage or Binus getting all the powers and then some sounds funny, but I doubt people are going to be falling all over to go visit him tonight. I don't quite get how you can deduce scum or town from that.

Yeah, it is this, basically. Gameplay-wise it makes no sense. Doesn't mean they aren't making a claim, and someone may take them up on it. But I don't think Binus is going to become some sort of demigod

I'd give Toal's D1 pass to Yami, I do think they reacted in a scummy way but I don't want to vote them if they were eager to play/waiting for OA to finish this up, they jumped in fast and I'd be pissed to no end to be booted if I was invested in playing :ohdear:

FWIW, it's not entirely true for most people here but I have enough mental issues to be borderline autistic (I don't have a diagnosis but an actual psychologist suspected it strongly enough to have me tested in the first place).

One of those is being pretty drat spotty with detecting humor and taking things too literally (much like actual autistic people do) which is part of why I hate joke phase.
