DoR was slapped once already, yeah? And Zoya and FoS now? So DoR is in danger of being slap-killed.

Cube are you a survivor? I don't really see any reason you'd have both an anti vote and bulletproof mechanic if not. Then again I guess we both had exactly that as town and scum in volume wars.

That "I think" is sticking in my mind a bit, but so is "don't try to shoot me, I'm swimming in fish and by implication can just use them every day and night for the rest of the game to avoid the vote and yuming's vig." I'd like it if everyone tried to post enough so that I could slap Cube outta here.

It's a very reasonable thought but I think we know that's unlikely to happen.

Current hypothesis:

scumZoya + scum(other person).

Busdrive (Hal + player X). NK player X.

Zoya "I redirected everyone away from Hal, randomly!" Hal dead. Docs foiled.

If I said something like "I'll answer this question for a fish" is that too close to the "no toxxing (because of game-breaking strategies)" rule?

Is "just asking this question by itself" NAI-enough that it doesn't answer the question already? Hmm. I do think it's NAI-enough for me to ask that question as my response here.

You can't double-slap FoS today, correct? But you could theoretically slap the others if you get more fish?

Yep. I don't want to kill Roses though, and I have 0 interest in slapping Maugrim or shwin at the moment.

IMO no, because there's no out-of-game long term consequences in play. If you said "paypal/venmo me $5 and I'll answer this question" that would be over the line as you've then brought out-of-game IRL cash into it. Toxxing fit this profile as it brought in out-of-game long term consequences of being banned and having to pay $10 in order to play games again if failed.

That said I sure wouldn't expect the fish to be worth spending that way as opposed to doing something else with it.

Yeah but FoS has already claimed to not be able to do anything with fish and is vote leader at the moment.

Oh. I guess cube surv makes sense of both the squirrelly fish gathering and the overall town vibes.

It also potentially changes the maths on exlo, but apparently there's nothing we can do about it now (other than everyone posting a ridiculous amount to get him in the bottom 1/3 two days in a row)

I don't expect this to help my case at all but I'm a town bus driver of the swapper variety (actions used on one of my targets affect the other, and vice-versa). N1 I swapped yuming and tsi in the hopes that the former would vig herself. N2 I swapped DoR and cube, guessing that yuming might target the former and deciding I'd rather go after cube.

It's weird but you're only just now claiming to be the third fish theft victim after Cube's taken himself off the table as possibly a means to avoid becoming the vote by process of elimination.

Man alive. So we have Zoya who can turn somebody into a nexus vs. you as a bus driver, me as a lurker dayvig that has to shoot targets twice vs. yuming who is a nightvig that fails on scum targets, and Roses as a doctor who doesn't use fish vs. Moritz who has shareable BP.

What made you think trying to guess what yuming was going to do was a safer bet than simply protecting Hal?

I assumed that if we had any protective or information roles they'd target hal and i didn't want to retarget all them them.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

17 to start; 4 scum in a traditional formula composition.
Rhymes was eliminated D2, meaning likely 3 scum left at that point.
Two thefts are reported for N1, from Roses and FoS.
Two thefts are reported for N2, from FoS and myself.

Rhymes had to have fed prior to her night action, but I'm guessing everybody started with one freebie, so the numbers on this pan out, at least.

The killer would end up targeting whoever you switched Hal with, though, just as much as yuming would hypothetically have been swapped over to Cube when targeting Roses.

Cube, clarify something for me. The way you're talking about this is implying you can do it multiple times. Have I got that right? If so, I assume this is a matter of costing fish. Yes?

That's wouldn't solve the issue about confusing information results. A watcher spotting the killer is more valuable than preventing the kill.

I believe either of these things. The claim has now turned from having "no way to use fish" into a powerful and disruptive action that still doesn't cost fish, oh but I still don't have any fish because they were stolen, which I haven't mentioned before, even when the question of multiple fish thefts was actively being discussed before it was revealed to be a mod error.

"It's more important that an information role gets the right info on the night kill than that an important role is swapped with somebody who I think might flip scum and make it possible to snowball town's win or at least get that guy's info." - supposedly town FoS, 2/13/2025

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

Hal got action result information that caught Rhymes dead to rights. There is no way I will believe that you with a proper townmind would think there was a hypothetical info role that could get more information than he could that would make your action justifiable.

Ignatius M. Meen
May 26, 2011

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

It probably doesn't really need much explaining, but outside being able to make a given player's action result text public it's hard to think of something better than what Hal had, and here you are claiming that keeping Hal alive was worth less than letting somebody who may or may not exist get the right info about his death.

Actually, there's an even more fundamental problem here: that hypothetical watcher would still see whoever killed the person you switched Hal with and in that universe Hal would also still be alive and maybe have a separate catch to share today!
