OOC: yeah that's where EGalz and I work. It's a bar/cafe and a bunch of escape rooms in an old mortuary. She manages the location and does awesome marketing stuff, while I just build some dumb poo poo

Where is this located? I’m totally checking it out

Also I agree cube seems town

Hmm as scum would I trade the potential kills for a glorified Miller claim out of the gate? Doubtful

Hal Incandenza
Feb 12, 2004

Well yeah but that is just a one-shot that would only go off if I was already in the unwanted situation of dying. I’d seemingly want to keep that hidden as scum as well

Not saying it’s worthless, but if I’m scum taking that role I want to maximize potential kills and not instantly revert to the least useful part of the role

Anyway, hardly a defense of myself, more of a bit of indignation at your implication I would be so dull as that

scum pgo might end up taking out lots of people beforehand though, plus another town death might be enough to tip the balance near endgame. I’m not really buying this

I propose Iggy Hammer Hal today. All in favor?

(Cue a raucous "Hell aye!" from the crowd)

I will say if scum have the dance card rearranger they could leverage my power against town… maybe? Not sure how the redirector would interact with my pgo. But if that was a worry I could see the value in eliminating me I suppose. And I definitely would want Iggy to hammer me

birdstrike posted:

it read like you were downplaying the usefulness for scum which I disagreed with

This makes me think you aren’t reading anything and just trying to throw some fake shade

I said were I scum I would never pick PGO and then completely neuter it’s main purpose by immediately claiming it in my first post

As town with first pick I felt obligated to take the role to deny it to scum and then felt the need to immediately claim it so town wouldn’t accidentally die visiting me, effectively making myself vanilla and potentially dooming myself to a D1 death.

If I am scum who picked PGO with the first pick I really badly misplayed things lol

It’s funny because I actually did spend all sorts of time thinking about what to pick and going back and forth between picking for flavor reasons (I was thinking of Fanny Brice with a B) and then which roles would be best to keep away from scum and if it was even worth trying to pick an investigative role since I’d probably be a scum target immediately and realized the only thing that made sense was to take the PGO and just announce it first thing.

I also really thought about taking Hammerer since that was the most fun sounding.

Anyway first pick is basically doomed in this game so whatever, but I’m definitely suspicious of people assuming I’m scum for basically no reason at all because scum are incentivized to get me out during the day for sure

Also ##vote birdstrike but I’d also be ok with shwinn, RWC, possibly cube at this point

CubicalSucrose posted:

Circle Busdrive can get scum a pretty rough multikill night while Hal is alive. This is the strongest "kill Hal early" argument, I think, and doesn't rely on Hal needing to be scum.

I don't think I've played with birdstrike before but they've played a lot. Voting out (what seems to be) a returning player D1 doesn't feel great to me unless I'm missing something. I think Cena immediately re-retired after getting early yeeted in a game not toooo long ago.

That presumes the busdriver doesn’t count as visiting me, otherwise that is likely a 1-1 trade that seems fine for town at least early on.

I do feel bad voting birdstrike D1 so I’ll ##vote shwinn instead

Hal Incandenza
Feb 12, 2004

I have to say I am genuinely surprised a player who thinks about things as much as Iggy would entertain the idea I was scum and it probably puts them pretty high on the suspicion list for me

Feb 12, 2004

Keats if it means that much to you I’d be fine to vote birdstrike but I feel there are other equally scummy options

If nothing else the whole “I can’t believe you’d put thought into picking a role” deserves a vote

Hal - If Keats shot you right now, would they die?

Day actions are fine, I’m only in my room all paranoid at night

That being said I would rather not be shot unless you have some actual reasoning why I’m scum (at which point I’d still not like to be shot but at least there would be a reason behind it)

Feb 12, 2004

I will never understand what meen did unless they felt like they were trapped because we would insist on a hammer. Even if that was the case though it still makes more sense to lie low and get another town kill out of it

I was rereading last night and I saw this post.

And I wondered "Why didn't someone explode, visiting Hal?"

This was after the PGO claim, which we spent a big portion of D1 talking through.

So I think that means a messenger decided to throw caution to the wind and got lucky that you're inactive during the day. Or someone is lying.

The messenger literally said they were yoloing by testing my PGO claim and I replied saying it was lucky for them it only works at night

Nothing about duplicates in my message (and it wouldn’t make sense for anyone else to get that)

But I also think the messenger, if it is the same one, is probably town just for even trying that on D1
