EDIT: NQT put it best in the scumchat:Quote from: NQTThis feels like one of those disastrous heist films where mistakes keep escalating.
Nice to see that we'll have such a well populated game!
1. Toaster is always converted.
Which game, you're always converted.1. Toaster is always converted.
That game was such a scum blowout, it wasn't even funny.
Maybe a little funny.
Yep, I played in seven of these and changed alignment in five. Started nontown the other two. Vote Toaster if he's not scum now he will be!Daaamn. I didn't even realize that part. You've never finished a Supernatural as town, out of seven games.
I only played in a Supernatural once.Anyway, here's a BYOR with 5 SKs.
Not my cuppa. Too bizarre for me.

I'd end up lurking and being the day 1 lynch. School's got me really busy right now. I might become a replacement though. Mafia games usually need it.Someone's gotta do it!
We should do an old-school D1 4mask wagon.
I'll be honest, this setup scares me. Otherwise I'd probably have joined.
Side note: the "cult" in eight was a standard scumteam, it was just flavored as a cult.Yes. Same as the Supernatural 2 cult.
Probably the unknown scum faction? It will at least be a previous one in this game.I'll be honest, this setup scares me. Otherwise I'd probably have joined.Oh? What aspect do you find scary?
I'll be honest, this setup scares me. Otherwise I'd probably have joined.
I am going to live to the end!
I completely missed this was happening. IN or replacement if signups are closed.
Oh? What aspect do you find scary?It's a very low-information setup, that's the main thing. It's a weird thing for me, but I'm comfortable in no-information scenarios, and high-information scenarios, but the in between gets to me.
Damn you stole my joke!!Gotta be quick on the draw, my cartoon friend.
Toaster
4maskwolf: Since you suggested a D1 4mask wagon, why aren't you voting for yourself?Because that's anti-wincon in the worst possible way.
Those questions to web and vec are pretty lolworthy. and NQT for that matter.Elaborate?
webadict: You just called Toony "friend". How is that not buddying?It is buddying. Don't vote ToonyMan, they are my buddy.
Survivor is literally the worst.Why are you doing this to us?

I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.I, on the otherhand, am extremely powerful and would strongly ask scum not to kill me (convert would be cool though just saying).

Interesting... D1 survivor claim? What motivated you to do this right out the gate?
Not really, no. I haven't been a big fan of RVS specifically in years and frankly I don't know what makes a good RVS question.

I'm aware of how certain players on Bay12 react to survivors, if that's what you're asking. I'm hoping that, as Tiruin once put it, we have "no more of that kill all third parties carp."This is true.

Survivor is literally the worst.Thanks for claiming early, serial-killer 4maskwolf. Or should I say, 4maskwerebear???
notquitethere: How likely is it that the "pure of heart" status mentioned in the D1 opening post flavour is separate from being town?I doubt it is separate at all. He probably just means town by that. You tell me, has it ever meant anything else? There's apparently nothing new this time round:
In order to make this a bit more new player friendly I will not be adding any new roles or changing any of the existing roles this time. So you can read over the previous games to learn what might be out there and what they can do.
I'm assuming this is a reference to Jiokuy's claiming his SK werebear abilities rather than the actual werebear abilities back in Supernatural 7?Survivor is literally the worst.Thanks for claiming early, serial-killer 4maskwolf. Or should I say, 4maskwerebear???

Hmm, that so? I really don't have anything I can actively do though. No kills or anything like that.Except the mafiakill, of course.

Also, Icy, your question to web was dumb because... it was dumb? That's really the only way of describing it. Like, what?Is it dumber than not trying to start any conversation at all?
You probably saw this coming. Did you expect this?Absolutely. In fact, it would have been most interesting if you'd picked someone else, since then I'd have asked why you picked them in particular. Why did you pick the boring option?
I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.Why would you claim this? What good is it to the town?
And so the run of being scummy continues.Continues? 4maskwolf hadn't posted anything before his claim?
So you know that post wasn't coached at all given the number of experienced players in this game.Suspiciously specific.
Tripling down on not having a real conversation with each other? Bold move.This is true. Web is my Webuddy.Alright, time to triple down on this investment.
I doubt it is separate at all. He probably just means town by that. You tell me, has it ever meant anything else? There's apparently nothing new this time round:I've only skimmed the past games, so I wouldn't know. How useful is flavour analysis in general in this format? Mephansteras said that it wouldn't be useless.
4maskwolfDefinitely not. Starting a conversation some way has to happen in order for the game to proceed properly.Also, Icy, your question to web was dumb because... it was dumb? That's really the only way of describing it. Like, what?Is it dumber than not trying to start any conversation at all?
Vector: Assume you have a daykill. Someone makes a revelation which puts me in a thunderdome with a player you don't have a good read on. Do you shoot me or the other player?
You didn't read the second post that quoted that one, did you IcyTea?No, seriously. You said that 4mask being scummy "continued". Where did it start?
And I claimed that for an easy confirm.You do realize that your no-abilities claim is practically impossible to confirm without someone using an ability on you?
What's the point of those questions you are asking? They feel wrong to me on an instinctive level.They start a conversation by their nature of requiring answers, so that I don't need to rely on my instincts to determine people's alignments.
Almost certainly the other player, because I was dead-set on your being scum last time as a claimed mason. Without further evidence, I'm going to lean towards shooting the other one.Isn't this a cognitive bias? Just because you misjudged me as scum when I had a strong case for being town, doesn't mean that you should judge me as town when I don't have that circumstance. In fact, shouldn't it make me more suspicious that I don't have a strong case for being town right now?
4maskwolf
What's your plan for survival? Do you intend to be useful to town, or just rely on there being better lynch targets?

I made a case on TolyK and still think the slot is sus, but please, continue to tell me how I have no intent to further the town's wincon. I love playing the game and then being told that everything I do didn't actually exist and the cases I make don't matter.
So, you're looking like an awesome D1 lynch target, because you've managed to make it clear that you have no interest in furthering town goals. Maybe knock it off. If you actually are a survivor and you want to win with town, you need to help us find us some scum today. Otherwise, let's just say that you're the default.
Great. Copypasta comes to B12.Okay so you have no interest in engaging with anything outside of your preconceived notions.
*throws up hands*Let's see if I follow.
Fuck it, I hate this. If someone has a daykill, please take him out so he doesn't get to win as a jester (if that's somehow what this is). Otherwise, 4maskwolf.
Yes, it's a policy lynch, and no, I don't care.

You didn't read the second post that quoted that one, did you IcyTea? And I claimed that for an easy confirm. Or just ignore me, either is good. At least I'm not a miller this time. Either way, won't be going anywhere at night, so might as well use my vote IcyTea. What's the point of those questions you are asking? They feel wrong to me on an instinctive level.

In this format exactly? Not much. I'm new - albeit my experience in Mafia in other formats isn't completely lacking, and I'm decent at social deduction.
My only other B12 Mafia is Vengeful Mafia 14 - which should be finishing up in a day or two.

Definitely Web. I know I'm town but I don't know if they are...
@4mask:
The anti-town behavior and claiming on your first post, yes.
Like, I'm gonna be real with you: way I see it survivor with no powers is always a coinflip. Either that or I just do my best "not playing the game" impression to skate by to endgame and win with whichever team comes out on top, which doesn't seem like fun. So I decided to take the coinflip early: either people believe me and I get left alone, allowing me more freedom to play the game since the scum now has no reason to kill me, or people don't believe me and I die early and save myself a week or more of trying to skate by with the bare minimum amount of content.@BK:Is there a particular reason I shouldn't claim on my first post?

Any other survivors want to come out today? I think you would be benefiting town greatly if you did so.You really don't want to believe my claim do you?
You're looking at this the wrong way.Any other survivors want to come out today? I think you would be benefiting town greatly if you did so.You really don't want to believe my claim do you?
I actually did get it, I just wanted to make sure that was where you were headed before I said this.You're looking at this the wrong way.Any other survivors want to come out today? I think you would be benefiting town greatly if you did so.You really don't want to believe my claim do you?
If nobody comes forward I'm very willing to believe your claim. This helps town lynch scum because we wouldn't be lynching you. I would say it's unlikely you don't win this game.
If somebody else comes forward I will be voting one of you two. There is a very high probability one of you is lying scum. If you're legit and mafia decide to gamble the odds that's their move.
Is becoming Townvore that easy for you?Om nom.
Not only that, but look at it from a Survivor's point of view: What would they gain by ccing? Nothing but a chance to either: 1) get eliminated, or 2) get on the bad side of scum.You think scum will want to waste a kill on a claimed survivor? No way.
Toony: So what's the plan this time? How do we break this setup?By having a survivor claim apparently.
I don't copypasta except for comedy. The sheeping copypasta? Makes people on MU laugh. Responding to someone with annoyance? Why would I make a copypasta of that.

My only other B12 Mafia is Vengeful Mafia 14 - which should be finishing up in a day or two.
I ask because given your experience level it seems like parroting webadict on the whole "jester" thing. Would you say that's an accurate assessment?
Parroting? I'm not repeating him - he brings up the same point, but I'm not asking the same question here. I'm asking if you're hiding your role, not just if you're a jester.
Good try on trying to avoid the question, but I'll ask again;
Why are you claiming survivor D1?
Are you trying to win a death-wincon? Or just throwing people off your real scent?
Unvote.
4maskwolf.
What scent would there be to throw people off of.
Nobody could possibly have any kind of trail on me when I hadn't even posted yet.
Bluarian Knight: Do you believe TricMagic's claim?
@4mask: I'm sorry, what? Why would scum claim to kill the survivor? That's a dumb move if ever I saw one, and you should know that as a Survivor.Scum wouldn't claim to kill a survivor unless they strongly believed I wasn't, since if I flipped not-survivor it would clear them.
Is becoming Townvore that easy for you?
Not only that, but look at it from a Survivor's point of view: What would they gain by ccing? Nothing but a chance to either: 1) get eliminated, or 2) get on the bad side of scum.
Why are all your insights level 0?
Oh I understand now. Yeah I did say TolyK there too, didn't I. Just for future reference I wouldn't do that, it comes off a little too much like mockery to use someone's annoyed posts straight to their face as a "joke".I don't copypasta except for comedy. The sheeping copypasta? Makes people on MU laugh. Responding to someone with annoyance? Why would I make a copypasta of that.
Also, like, why would I ever copy-paste stuff from game to game?
I assumed it was something like copy-pasting stuff that I said in an old game in a similar situation for humor purposes (given that TolyK was a long time ago). Is this a dumb interpretation? Yeah,
*shrug*, look, all I'm saying is that I went off onto one of my crazy left-field interpretations of what you were doing. I'm willing to cop to it when I've made a mistake.
I thought you were RiA-ing with a bunch of posts about someone who wasn't in the game to piss me off.I believe this part at least.
@4mask: No, a Survivor doesn't counterclaim because they get Thunderdomed, and then it's "essentially" a 50:50 to lose, not even win. It's a shit-tier play, and it's better to lay low until later.What do you think the odds are that 4mask is telling the truth?
Yeah, my phone keyboard sucks...Why would a non-survivor counterclaim me? The answer is they wouldn't, unless the non-survivor was convinced I was a survivor. If I'm not a survivor, counterclaiming me as survivor isn't 50/50, it's like 95:5 if people are paying attention to the motives behind the action (counterclaiming me and I flip survivor is suicide for literally 0 benefit).
The point isn't that it's a bad plan from you, Toony. It costs you literally nothing, and it is beneficial to you regardless of your alignment. It's a bad plan from 4mask's perspective, regardless of their alignment, and a bad plan from any other player's perspective to claim, and 4mask using it as reasoning for you being Town is a level 0 read from them.
@4mask: No, a Survivor doesn't counterclaim because they get Thunderdomed, and then it's "essentially" a 50:50 to lose, not even win. It's a shit-tier play, and it's better to lay low until later.
@4maskwolf:The default on MU is "wolves" rather than "scum" and I've kinda picked it up since I've played a bunch of games there recently.
Why do you keep saying the mafia are wolves? I don't think this is confirmed anywhere.

I'll ask a smarter question, then. If you had a daykill you could only use today, who'd you use it on, as town?Oops, missed this question: 4maskwolf, because they're a liability.
ToonyMan: Starting off in true Toony spirit with a Townlean, but whatcha gonna do? I guess I'll just get fleeced by ToonyMan again.Don't worry I fully expect to be the N1 convert if it exists, just a warning.
Webadict, you really need to up your scum game.Oh dear heavens me. Take mine wrists, cuff them, and do lead me to the local constabulary for I hath virtued.
Where's the vitriol? Where's the uncertainty? The verve? "Even less a fan of my posting than you usually are?" Bullshit. You know you've never said that, and you know that you usually don't need to manufacture a scum read on me to come poke my buttons. Scumadict lacks the playfulness and sharpness of town webadict.
Also, proud of you for practicing pocketing on the noob. Better luck next time, nerd.
Luckyowl, you better be mafia this time.Alright, put Secretdorf in the scumlean for that one.
4maskwolf is mafia, probably.
Tricmagic is mafia, too, probably. Because I don't see how claiming VT will help us. At least, mafia would have killed you instead of a PR. And you say we should waste a track on you?
Webadict is mafia, too, probably.
Toonyman is mafia, too, probably.
Toaster is town, probably.
Icytea is mafia, too, probably.
Curiosity question, Bluarian: What's your previous mafia experience, excluding ongoing games? I haven't played with you before.4mask, I'm memeing because I don't have access to a personal computer right now and can't properly type a big post. I genuinely don't understand your actions beyond fulfilling your hope of being dead before March 8th. Why? I don't believe you'd act like this as mafia.With regard to what, specifically? The memes? Meh, mostly because I want to, and because the things I meme-respond to generally aren't worthy of a response. My response to Vector? I don't think they're doing it intentionally, but Vector has managed to take the worst aspects of the way MU treats me and applied it here, so I'm a little ticked atm.
In this format exactly? Not much. I'm new - albeit my experience in Mafia in other formats isn't completely lacking, and I'm decent at social deduction.
My only other B12 Mafia is Vengeful Mafia 14 - which should be finishing up in a day or two.
I am present and also town.Okay, great.
I am present and also town.Okay, great.
Got anything else? I'll be nice and wait for your teammates to tell you what to do.
Oh dear heavens me. Take mine wrists, cuff them, and do lead me to the local constabulary for I hath virtued.
No, wait, I can do better. Hold on, let me clear my throat.
Vector, you always move me in the right direction. You are a joy to be around, a ray of sunshine. Your intellect is boundless, unwavering, and whenever you correct me, I enjoy it as a new opportunity to learn things, to change the trajectory of my life. :D This is a smiley face, and it is for you because I can hardly hold back a grin when I think of things that confuse you, to send you down a new track, for the sheer fact that the tables had been turned. A clash without a route. A battle without blood. I would give you a hug, but I feel that would, of course, potentially be inappropriate, as well as an unwanted invasion of personal space but know that today is a day of sheer youthful ambition, and that should these affectations truly hit your heart (as I do so aim for them to), know that I come bearing happiness of a magnitude without limit.
Forsooth, there is no vitriol laden within these words. Ersatz they may be, but cruel? Nay. There'd be no point.
I'm freelance currently, but I wouldn't mind a steady position if you're interested.did your scum team told you to say that? or are you going rogue?I am present and also town.Okay, great.
Got anything else? I'll be nice and wait for your teammates to tell you what to do.
Yes, I will eventually post.Got it.
I've got an important meeting tomorrow I probably need to spend more time preparing for so I'm not going to play super serious today but I'll answer questions and poke at some stuff.
i will bite uI'm not seeing it, Vector.
you're still scum >:V
i will bite uYes, but do you bite your thumb at me?
you're still scum >:V
Jim Groovester: How can I best convince you to read at least the parts addressed to you if I make lengthier posts?
Jim G: Let's assume you're a cult leader of whatever flavor. How do you pick your converts? Would you pick me again for the WIFOM?
I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.
My run specifically. But any tracker in the group could see the truth. How does my one post seem a decent place to start?
Hmm, that so? I really don't have anything I can actively do though. No kills or anything like that. Can't track or investigate or bus or anything. Unless I'm lying to cover up a more powerful role. (Just posting without thinking there. So you know that post wasn't coached at all given the number of experienced players in this game.)
Jim Groovester. How's life? Did you roll scum again?
This is why I thought you were just copy-pasta-ing from other games. Back to Jim Groovester.
Webadict, you really need to up your scum game.
Where's the vitriol? Where's the uncertainty? The verve? "Even less a fan of my posting than you usually are?" Bullshit. You know you've never said that, and you know that you usually don't need to manufacture a scum read on me to come poke my buttons. Scumadict lacks the playfulness and sharpness of town webadict.

4maskwolf
What's your plan for survival? Do you intend to be useful to town, or just rely on there being better lynch targets?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
BluarianKnight: Don't believe I've played a game with you. How would you describe your playstyle in one sentence?Wary but Thorough, that would be by non-weird answer.
Sorry for the wait - let's do this. 8)BluarianKnight: You're the only one here I haven't played with before. Should I consider you dangerous?Unique choice of words - dangerous.
Yeah, I'd probably be someone to worry about, IcyTea31.
Why are you claiming survivor D1?
Are you trying to win a death-wincon? Or just throwing people off your real scent?
Unvote.
4maskwolf.
I'm willing to believe 4mask for now, while his claim hurts us at night it does remove a lynch candidate for today.
What do you think, Vector? BK?
You two switched votes before even letting your original vote questions get answered.
I'm willing to give the benefit - I think he's proved his point.
Unvote.
I am present and also town.
Wait, you were calling yourself scummy? That's my mistake, then. I'd still like you to try to follow up on those instincts, perhaps by asking a question which requires an alignment-specific answer?My run specifically.Icytea. I get it was just after, but one could pay attention. I'l forgive you, if only because I'm coming off a finishing post in Vengeful. And instincts are very useful in a social game, it's how you determine something is wrong with how things are worded. Or logic, but in that case I'll go with instinct until proper logic appears to fault that instinct.
I mean, if you want my real answer? I'd go back and reread the thread until I had more information on you, the other guy, and the person who started the thunderdome. It depends on what Day it is. It depends on who else is dead and how much information each kill would provide, blah blah blah blah blah for me it's more about context than about any one person involved and without that context the question doesn't give viable information about my ge-new-eye-N thought process.To be honest, I expected your answer to be along the lines of not wanting to say you'd shoot me to my face, or anyone's but a faceless "other guy". At the time I asked the original question, there was little to reread, little to make that contextual decision beyond what you know about me from the past. The question thus becomes "Do you trust me?" and "Would you dare to say to my face that you don't trust me?" Let's move this to another context: endgame: me you, and a faceless third person. Which is more important, what we say then, or what we said before then?
But you know that.
IcyTea31 - Which person here would worry you the most of they were scum?Definitely notquitethere. He's the type of player who's well capable of pulling a genealogical account of why I, my mother, and my mother's mother are all scum out of nowhere. Even though in that situation I'd know it was false, I'd have to do a similar amount of analysis and work to prove that to the other players.
IcyTea31 - His first questions had plenty that were, at least to me, too pointed and aggressive for scumhunting. Scumleaning.First time I've been called scum for that, BluarianKnight. How do you scumhunt without asking pointed and aggressive questions?
Web gives me the opposite vibes - something's off - the buddying thing is sort of similarWhich buddying thing? Surely not the part where I opened my game with a joking accusation?
IcyTea: I plan on finding scum and lynching them D2 instead.Let's assume there's good town play from other players and scum gets lynched on D1, but you can't quite take credit for it. Where do you start looking for scum on D2?
Luckyowl, you better be mafia this time.Wanna narrow that down a bit? Surely there aren't 6 scum in a 13-player game, especially one with a claimed third party?
4maskwolf is mafia, probably.
Tricmagic is mafia, too, probably. Because I don't see how claiming VT will help us. At least, mafia would have killed you instead of a PR. And you say we should waste a track on you?
Webadict is mafia, too, probably.
Toonyman is mafia, too, probably.
Toaster is town, probably.
Icytea is mafia, too, probably.
The smart answer is that I would pick people who would help me win but the answer I am going to give is the people who would be funnest to have on my team.Names, Jim. Who would it be funniest to have on your team?
Pretty good conrent so far.
Feels kinda eh-y, but... I dunno, call it intuition.Is my content "pretty good" or "kinda eh-y"?
Alright, it's reads time:
Townlean
BluarianKnight: I'll be completely honest in saying I've been watching them in Vengeful, but I'm very much a fan of this Blue Knight. I think they're a solid Townlean in spite of ToonyMan and 4maskwolf because they're defo Town.
TricMagic: Townlean. Feels like they're doing some weird ploy. Idk, not gonna think about it. But I genuinely believe that this is a Town!Tric, and hopefully I'm getting better at reading them. Definitely feel better than I did during CYOMafia, that's for sure.
IcyTea31: Generally insightful and active. 4mask hates their questions, and I agree, but I'd still rather have something than nothing. Still, reminds me of BYOR 15 Icy, and so I'll keep them up here. Feels kinda eh-y, but... I dunno, call it intuition.
Null
ToonyMan: Starting off in true Toony spirit with a Townlean, but whatcha gonna do? I guess I'll just get fleeced by ToonyMan again. Actually, as I'm reading through this, I'm gonna move them down to null. I am mostly doing this to spite 4maskwolf, and also because I don't believe that ToonyMan actually earned a space up in the Townlean section. If 4maskwolf hadn't said anything, I'd actually have them higher. Overall, I do like their play, and I'm expecting a lot more in short order, as they usually do.
Toaster: Ehhh... Could go either way on this one. Haven't really seen enough of them, but the parts I did see sorta rang towards town. I'll keep them here for good measure. Not really a fan of their work so far.
Luckyowl: Hasn't
Secretdorf: Posted
Jim Groovester: Yet
Scumlean
juicebox: Wtf, where did juicebox come from? I have seen nothing from them, and that truly makes them scummy. I will always eliminate them if they have the least number of posts.
notquitethere: Here's my problem with this read. I actually don't fully trust it, because usually scum!NQT is more townie to me. But, gut lean towards scum because they haven't been super active. But, that's like the opposite of how I usually feel, so maybe I'm biased on this one... Eh.
Vector: Scumread. Even less a fan of their posting than I usually am, but their attack on 4maskwolf felt manufactured, and their quick jumps back to Jim Groovester was... Really, really weird. I think the frustration is real, but I don't believe that the attack is, and even factoring in the fact that 4mask said TolyK, I simply don't believe it at the moment. After re-reading, I'm still not convinced that they know what's they're trying to hammer in on, and I'm poking their buttons here like I usually do.
Third Party
4maskwolf: Is it worth it to engage with them? No.QuoteI'll ask a smarter question, then. If you had a daykill you could only use today, who'd you use it on, as town?Oops, missed this question: 4maskwolf, because they're a liability.
I don't believe there's ever been a Jester no.If it's helpful, my role is wererat.
There have been survivors though. Toaster got ressed as one after dying, I believe you had an ability too no?
I got ressed into Lone Vampire; I had a block that killed if I used it two nights in a row on the same target. 3 and 5 started with a Wererat; a survivor with no abilities. PPE yes, that one.
I say 4mask and Toaster together because of this:I agree that's odd, but I know for a fact Toaster read through all the previous games just like I did because we talked about it before the game started.I don't believe there's ever been a Jester no.If it's helpful, my role is wererat.

Toaster got ressed as one after dying, I believe you had an ability too no?I got ressed into Lone Vampire; I had a block that killed if I used it two nights in a row on the same target. 3 and 5 started with a Wererat; a survivor with no abilities. PPE yes, that one.It just feels little bit too convenient to me how this happened.
I think webadict is town this time mostly a gut-read on his reads post which I think was town-motivated. But I have a bad habit of taking people giving reads analysis as town, so I might reconsider that.What do you mean when you say that the reads post was town-motivated?
I am 90%sure luckyowl is mafia this game but I am not going to press that until I have evidence.That's a lot of certainty to find from three posts, none of which say anything.
NQT hasn't posted a lot but I think he is town this time as his posts don't look like he has been constructing townreads on himself.This is from a single post, which also said very little. Why is one low-poster scum and another town?
@Icy: Hmmm, don't see the issue there. You can have good content and feel meh. Call it a Townlean on you, and a nullread on your suspects. Does that make more sense?Maybe. My gut is still screaming about you to me. It's been a while since I lasted played with you, but your attitude seems too relaxed for me to trust you right now.
Sorry haven't been about much. I pulled a muscle in my thigh and haven't wanted to sit in front of a computer for a few days. Taking a trawl back, and also taking a look at the roles in previous games so we know what might be in store.Welcome back NQT.
Unvote, we'll have an idea from the night whether 4mask is an SK or not. No point killing him today when an actual scum team is around.
I'm assuming this is a reference to Jiokuy's claiming his SK werebear abilities rather than the actual werebear abilities back in Supernatural 7?That was more or less what I was driving at. I see you claimed Wererat. Ok. I can believe this.
Speaking of the actual scumteam, got any hot takes for us so far from your trawl?Webadict's quantum read on me seems genuine. It's true that the last few times I've been scum he's strongly town read me. I don't know that this reflects on his alignment per se, but I don't think he's making that up. Toony voting me after I only made one post is fine, but I'm curious to see where his vote goes after I've actually contributed.
I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.
any tracker in the group could see the truth.
4maskIronically Jiokuy’s SK werebear might actually be the answer you’re looking for, I just checked and it could kill anyone who visited it. My personal take is cult leader because it’s inspection immune and if he doesn’t perform the kill he’s “cleared” since there no way to prove he’s not VT.I'm assuming this is a reference to Jiokuy's claiming his SK werebear abilities rather than the actual werebear abilities back in Supernatural 7?That was more or less what I was driving at.

Tric
Tric is openly baiting night actions from town players... I suspect once I've finished looking at the previous roles I might know why...I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.any tracker in the group could see the truth.
LuckyOwl, tell me something about this setup from the OP.
@4mask:I had some thoughts along those lines too and it’s not impossible, but there’s better and safer ways to do pretty much any of the possibilities I thought of. That said I still wouldn’t put them past Tric.
I don't know about Tric being mafia or not yet. I think they're clearly lying about their role and I think I know why, but I don't want to help scum decide who they're targeting tonight.
That reads post was not a reads post, that was a joke. Never mind that.Minding it. And breaking this down.
I think webadict is town this time mostly a gut-read on his reads post which I think was town-motivated. But I have a bad habit of taking people giving reads analysis as town, so I might reconsider that.Hmm, quite buddy of you. Except when you say 'eh, maybe not',
Blueknight might be town if I compare his play in this game with the VM. In that game, his posts were filled with explanations. Although, someone might be coaching him. Still, some of his posts are scummy.Which one? I mean, I saw the same post luckyowl did and deduced he was scummy in Vengeful from it. Not like I could use it there. Very wishy-washy while poking them to be scum.
I am 90%sure luckyowl is mafia this game but I am not going to press that until I have evidence.Reasons? Gambler's Fallacy is a thing.
NQT hasn't posted a lot but I think he is town this time as his posts don't look like he has been constructing townreads on himself.I don't yet have enough on NQT to make a solid read on him. So this fits.
4mask is probably survivor but I haven't read anything about wererat. What is that?If you were reading all the posts you'd know, someone answered it. To be fair, I'm using this post before reading after it.
ICT is townlean.How surprising, the only town-lean in the list. This thing isn't any better than your joke post scumdorf. A whole lot of Nothing expanded from that joke post. And Toaster, your town-read, is also missing from this one. And worst of all, I'm not on it. not really the worst, but it looks freakin wierd. I'll get back to reading the rest.
Side note but I agree that it looks like Secretdorf is fabricating reads rather than making real ones, that read on NQT is interesting in italics.Spoiler: Why Tric is a wolf, spoiled so webadict doesn't have an aneurysm (click to show/hide)
Also blue continuing to parrot webadict is a thing.
It’s interesting that you only discuss one of my points against you, and the one that is far and away the weakest and least reliable, and yet you barely address the only really meaningful part of it which is that your takes seem limp and very focused on people surrounding you. You’ve only hit easy targets that other people were pressuring at the time (Icy for bad questions and secretdorf for being very ??? thus far), and your attempt to tie secretdorf and Icy together into a team is pretty baffling because it relies on ignoring the fact he has two other people he listed as town.Side note but I agree that it looks like Secretdorf is fabricating reads rather than making real ones, that read on NQT is interesting in italics.Spoiler: Why Tric is a wolf, spoiled so webadict doesn't have an aneurysm (click to show/hide)

Ok... First of all, there is something majorly wrong with my clocks. Did daylight savings time pass over? It's confusing me since my computer reads 10:10 AM. My phone and tablet read an hour ahead meanwhile, and my physical clocks read 10:11 as of now.
Second, I spent this morning finsihing up the last bits of Atelier Ryza, the first game, on my Switch. Switch also has many sales, so I got Assasain's Creed III, aa well Rouge/Black Flag in a combo-deal. And Ni no kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, along with Digimon Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition. And Hollow Realization for something different. Cost me 50 bucks all told? Worth it.
In other news that isn't gaming related, note that this game's start and the end of Vengeful coincided, and I had made a big post in that game as a finisher. So now back to catchup and comments on what happened last night. Don't go writing me off that quickly survivor.
Looking over this again... 4mask is really red. You're basically poking my for slanking, a word I had to look up as it's slang. Likewise, why delay the post, wouldn't that make it staged and planned? Rather than a wererat, a werewolf seeking to kill others makes sense. And that is not a good look on anyone, let alone a survivor who is likely to die from a mafiakill or get lynched by a mafia-assisted push. By nature, your claim really hurts town worse than a Miller would, as there is no point keeping you around or lynching you. Only you aren't guaranteed to be a survivor.. How many days must you survive to win? Two? Three? Five? How about six or seven. As it stands I see nothing that can really be addressed further in this than already was.It’s interesting that you only discuss one of my points against you, and the one that is far and away the weakest and least reliable, and yet you barely address the only really meaningful part of it which is that your takes seem limp and very focused on people surrounding you.

This post makes no sense on a bunch of levels and doesn't actually address the points I made. I said your cases were lazy and bad and you're just leeching off of the thread to get your takes, including after the vengeful game ended. You're continuing to insist that my only case on you is your slanking which, again, it's not, that's only a single one of the points and you not only refuse to respond to the other three (which, fair, at least some of them aren't really good to respond to) you're also pretending they don't exist (significantly less genuine).Looking over this again... 4mask is really red. You're basically poking my for slanking, a word I had to look up as it's slang. Likewise, why delay the post, wouldn't that make it staged and planned? Rather than a wererat, a werewolf seeking to kill others makes sense. And that is not a good look on anyone, let alone a survivor who is likely to die from a mafiakill or get lynched by a mafia-assisted push. By nature, your claim really hurts town worse than a Miller would, as there is no point keeping you around or lynching you. Only you aren't guaranteed to be a survivor.. How many days must you survive to win? Two? Three? Five? How about six or seven. As it stands I see nothing that can really be addressed further in this than already was.It’s interesting that you only discuss one of my points against you, and the one that is far and away the weakest and least reliable, and yet you barely address the only really meaningful part of it which is that your takes seem limp and very focused on people surrounding you. You’ve only hit easy targets that other people were pressuring at the time (Icy for bad questions and secretdorf for being very ??? thus far), and your attempt to tie secretdorf and Icy together into a team is pretty baffling because it relies on ignoring the fact he has two other people he listed as town.Side note but I agree that it looks like Secretdorf is fabricating reads rather than making real ones, that read on NQT is interesting in italics.Spoiler: Why Tric is a wolf, spoiled so webadict doesn't have an aneurysm (click to show/hide)
Also blue continuing to parrot webadict is a thing.
Ok... First of all, there is something majorly wrong with my clocks. Did daylight savings time pass over? It's confusing me since my computer reads 10:10 AM. My phone and tablet read an hour ahead meanwhile, and my physical clocks read 10:11 as of now.
Second, I spent this morning finsihing up the last bits of Atelier Ryza, the first game, on my Switch. Switch also has many sales, so I got Assasain's Creed III, aa well Rouge/Black Flag in a combo-deal. And Ni no kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, along with Digimon Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition. And Hollow Realization for something different. Cost me 50 bucks all told? Worth it.
In other news that isn't gaming related, note that this game's start and the end of Vengeful coincided, and I had made a big post in that game as a finisher. So now back to catchup and comments on what happened last night. Don't go writing me off that quickly survivor.Quotethis game's start and the end of Vengeful coincided, and I had made a big post in that game as a finisher.

Woo boy this is going to be a lot of reads. Ealry days, but might as well post a real readlist. Lets see how well I do.
webadict: Slight Town read. Don't expect any analysis on this cause after vengeful my memory on the first day of the game is fuzzy.
Vector: Vector doesn't get a read or a color. Ties to webadict yes, but no color. Null-read.
TricMagic: Naturally I cannot give comments on my own alignment. Ifyou read ths, have a cookie. ;D
ToonyMan: Town read. Previous post says it all, and none of their other posts dispute it for me. [See wuba for explanation there.]
BluarianKnight: Null. Seems town-like. But his voting seems more like taking my advice on using your vote literally and liberally. There is the whole parrot thing 4mask points out. On the whole, I'll tentatively place them as town for the sake of narrowing down the list.
Luckyowl: Town-ish. This will likely solidify as we enter future days with less people.
Secretdorf: Top scum-pick of today. Few posts, a joke post, and a readlist with more scum on it than can fit in this game, and few to no town.
4maskwolf: Survivor, third party wolf throwing shade, or scum. You can decide, but any votes on him won't do much.[I will get to the rest of your post later, it's just that one point I wanted to address while I got going](after these posts, I'm almost certain he is not a survivor. Third party, but not survivor. Werebear isn't something I was aware existed, but such a claim I made is anti-wincon for it if I was. And going after it anyway is completely useless as it's a third-party role that would only trigger off of being targeted. Just ignore it and hunt scum. You can't take the chance you can't actually do SOMETHING to me though, so you want to lynch me, the only thing that would bypass this supposed power.)
Toaster: Null. You, like Vector, don't get any reads. Unlike Vector, you also aren't currently tied to anyone.
juicebox: Null. Like Toaster. I need to see more from you to gain an opinion.
Jim Groovester: How quaint the suspicious people are at the bottom. Lurking, promising more later, you get the jist. Your streak may end, so best get hunting so it doesn't happen.
IcyTea31: Gut instinct that your posts were wrong. And now you are using yours, so... Kinda leaning away from you for now, but you will end up higher if secretdorf is scum.
notquitethere: Still notquitehere. Leaning more to scummyness than towniness, but not to the point you get a blue color.
Previewed, fixed typos and sent. An uncut version for my current feelings on everyone. Enjoy and read, if I ever die it will be useful. If not, still useful, just not confirmed one way or the other.
If somebody else comes forward I will be voting one of you two. There is a very high probability one of you is lying scum. If you're legit and mafia decide to gamble the odds that's their move.
@Jim:
>has an important meeting today
>gets hammered while singing about titans the night before
Luckyowl, you better be mafia this time.
4maskwolf is mafia, probably.
Tricmagic is mafia, too, probably. Because I don't see how claiming VT will help us. At least, mafia would have killed you instead of a PR. And you say we should waste a track on you?
Webadict is mafia, too, probably.
Toonyman is mafia, too, probably.
Toaster is town, probably.
Icytea is mafia, too, probably.
That reads post was not a reads post, that was a joke. Never mind that.
Toaster: Supposing there is a cult, how do we out them?
I thought you were RiA-ing with a bunch of posts about someone who wasn't in the game to piss me off.
I am present and also town.
did your scum team told you to say that? or are you going rogue?
Unvote, we'll have an idea from the night whether 4mask is an SK or not. No point killing him today when an actual scum team is around.
Thinking on it, I'd propose a 4mask/Secretdorf/scumteam. One with very weird things going on and missing a member, but seeking to turn the lynch off of another.
Web, can we get Mamobo for a full votecount?
QuoteI am 90%sure luckyowl is mafia this game but I am not going to press that until I have evidence.Reasons? Gambler's Fallacy is a thing.QuoteNQT hasn't posted a lot but I think he is town this time as his posts don't look like he has been constructing townreads on himself.I don't yet have enough on NQT to make a solid read on him. So this fits.
Luckyowl: Town-ish. This will likely solidify as we enter future days with less people.Right after admonishing Secretdorf for making reads on the low-posters, you make the same reads yourself? That's hypocritical of you.
notquitethere: Still notquitehere. Leaning more to scummyness than towniness, but not to the point you get a blue color.
Tric misunderstanding how an SK werebear works leads me to believe he's probably not one, he's just being a wolfy townie as usual.

I'm actually pondering a Secret/X scumteam right now but I'm not ready to reveal who the second person is just yet, hopefully I'll have it nailed down by the end of the day.
To IT, there is a fault in the circuit. How would you fix it?What circuit? I don't know what you're talking about.
On that note, the read on Luckyowl and NQT both state things that make that read less clear. But some must be assumed until proven guilty in order to put togehter reads on others. And I think as time goes on LO will reveal themselves to be townie, eventually. Or not, but we'll get to that point when we get there.On what basis are you making those assumptions? You're judging one player to be town and another to be scum, when neither of them has posted much of anything yet. Why the different treatment?
If it's hypocritical, who exactly do you defend with that accusation IT?I'm not defending anyone. I'm saying that you're scummy for doing something that you yourself recognized as scummy.
:)Also you realize that mafia don't want a survivor to die, yes? A survivor is someone confirmed to not have a dangerous PR and who can be potentially bullied to side with them in endgame. I'm not "being left alive as a potential lynchee later", if I'm left alive it's as a potential ally later.

To Toaster, I like my toast brown but not burnt. And there is a reason I tied those two. The third could be IcyTea. Or Jim, as I'm keeping that open. Or 4mask isn't mafia in which case it becomes mafia keeping a lynchee alive for when they need to use him to waste a day. Bit early to make tells, and my list(this is to IT) is more putting my thoughts into form.

Secretdorf is a legit pick to go for, though, and I definitely see scum equity in it. Tric has done enough for me to not want to eliminate them today. What's your feel on Vector for w/w?

Honestly the sheeping you isn't wolfy so much as it is just weird, he's basically just parroting you word for word on me while expressing his own thoughts elsewhere and I'm not sure what to make of that. What I find wolfy there is his case on me and subsequent retraction. His post where he voted me felt very fake and like he was forcing anger and fire into his tone rather than genuinely believing his case, and his unvote was timed shortly after the thread started to move towards "okay the claim is probably more legit than we initially thought" with very little commentary other than that I'd "proved my point". Scum has more reason than town does not to want a survivor dead, so the quick unvote was a little weird in a bad way.Tric misunderstanding how an SK werebear works leads me to believe he's probably not one, he's just being a wolfy townie as usual.I'm still under the impression Blue is Town, even if they're sheeping me, so I'm gonna need to see more than usual on that one.

ToonyMan:No. I don't believe this game would start with two survivors. One at most.If somebody else comes forward I will be voting one of you two. There is a very high probability one of you is lying scum. If you're legit and mafia decide to gamble the odds that's their move.Assuming a counterclaim, how would you determine which is real? Would you concede the possibility they were both survivors?
[X] Serial Killer: As we've seen an existing roles (werebear, necromancer) be repurposed as a serial killer, I wouldn't be too surprised to see this happen again. Could even have a wererat serial killer.Do you think 4mask is actually an anti-town third-party/SK?
Also, I feel like I'm sheeping ToonyMan hard because I agree with a lot of things they're saying.That's because you know I'm right or you know I'm right.
For making a joke post, then pushing forth another as the actual readlist, but it's just as bad? I simply gave my Honest opinion on things. It's by no means a final one, that will occur as the day approaches the end.No, for making reads which don't make sense when placed next to each other. I would accept calling LO and NQT scum for lurking, and calling them null. Calling them town would be weird, but wouldn't be inconsistent. However, it's nonsensical to have different reads on two players you have similarly little information on. I don't know if you're lying to me, or lying to yourself via cognitive dissonance, but you're not being honest.
notquitethereI think it's fine. His information isn't wrong and it's good to know (though I dislike the suspicious tone towards 4maskwolf and the unsuspicious tone towards TricMagic, feels manipulative). I'm more looking forward to their next post though.
What are we supposed to take away from the scumteam speculation? Wouldn't it have been better to do it on, say, D2 or D3 when we've had some flavour hints and possibly a dead scum team member, rather than on D1 when we don't? This early, it mostly strikes me as a distraction and a waste of time.

In some games there is the "Townsperson" role, which is just vanilla townie.
Vector:I thought you were RiA-ing with a bunch of posts about someone who wasn't in the game to piss me off.
How did this make it into a separate post instead of one bigger one with the post above it?
To be honest, I expected your answer to be along the lines of not wanting to say you'd shoot me to my face, or anyone's but a faceless "other guy". At the time I asked the original question, there was little to reread, little to make that contextual decision beyond what you know about me from the past. The question thus becomes "Do you trust me?" and "Would you dare to say to my face that you don't trust me?" Let's move this to another context: endgame: me you, and a faceless third person. Which is more important, what we say then, or what we said before then?
Webadict, you really need to up your scum game.
Where's the vitriol? Where's the uncertainty? The verve? "Even less a fan of my posting than you usually are?" Bullshit. You know you've never said that, and you know that you usually don't need to manufacture a scum read on me to come poke my buttons. Scumadict lacks the playfulness and sharpness of town webadict.
Also, proud of you for practicing pocketing on the noob. Better luck next time, nerd.
Sometimes I get the impression you're playing five years in the past.
Not that this is actually relevant to anything but webadict has been a pretty chill dude from my observations of how he's played since my glorious return.
By and large I can't actually figure out why you voted any of the targets you voted, except for me since you were waiting on an RVS response.
@Vector: Pocketing the noob? I like that you think I exist in a vacuum, and that I can't expect people to be Town unless they are a noob. I watched all of Vengeful 14 and saw a good player. I watched YellowPixel's play, too. I will say that BK is not really a noob to me. YP is, but BK seems like their experience translates well here, so not exactly a noob. Though, I will correct something I missed yesterday: I meant to type that, within the last few games we've played, I have suspected you as Town, however, this time I feel much more solidly that this assertion is correct, especially since you hardswerved based on that accusation and OMGUSed back.

Didn't read the thread closely but NQT's big scum team breakdown is useful but I didn't see much in the way of scumhunting or declaring reads. I have found in previous games productive gestures like that scummy when absent of meaningful scumhunting.
Uh, sure. Although I'm starting to be very curious about what you think outside the context of these RVS questions.Fair enough. I think you've been telling me what you think I want to hear, and leaned on the obvious answers more than ones which would elicit responses from me. This, combined with the general low-profile attitude you've showed (except in regards to webadict, interestingly), I currently lean towards a scum-or-cop read. In other words, I suspect that you have a plan for winning the game in the Night. For which team, I'm not sure.
Yes, that's my point in calling the post a distraction. I don't see a useful takeaway from it, so I'm asking NQT what its purpose is, because I could definitely see scum!NQT posting something like that to display "productivity" without actually participating in the daygame himself.Didn't read the thread closely but NQT's big scum team breakdown is useful but I didn't see much in the way of scumhunting or declaring reads. I have found in previous games productive gestures like that scummy when absent of meaningful scumhunting.Also this.
TricMagicWait, you were calling yourself scummy? That's my mistake, then. I'd still like you to try to follow up on those instincts, perhaps by asking a question which requires an alignment-specific answer?My run specifically.Icytea. I get it was just after, but one could pay attention. I'l forgive you, if only because I'm coming off a finishing post in Vengeful. And instincts are very useful in a social game, it's how you determine something is wrong with how things are worded. Or logic, but in that case I'll go with instinct until proper logic appears to fault that instinct.
VectorI mean, if you want my real answer? I'd go back and reread the thread until I had more information on you, the other guy, and the person who started the thunderdome. It depends on what Day it is. It depends on who else is dead and how much information each kill would provide, blah blah blah blah blah for me it's more about context than about any one person involved and without that context the question doesn't give viable information about my ge-new-eye-N thought process.To be honest, I expected your answer to be along the lines of not wanting to say you'd shoot me to my face, or anyone's but a faceless "other guy".

BluarianKnightIcyTea31 - Which person here would worry you the most of they were scum?Definitely notquitethere. He's the type of player who's well capable of pulling a genealogical account of why I, my mother, and my mother's mother are all scum out of nowhere.

juiceboxIcyTea: I plan on finding scum and lynching them D2 instead.Let's assume there's good town play from other players and scum gets lynched on D1, but you can't quite take credit for it. Where do you start looking for scum on D2?
SecretdorfLuckyowl, you better be mafia this time.Wanna narrow that down a bit? Surely there aren't 6 scum in a 13-player game, especially one with a claimed third party?
4maskwolf is mafia, probably.
Tricmagic is mafia, too, probably. Because I don't see how claiming VT will help us. At least, mafia would have killed you instead of a PR. And you say we should waste a track on you?
Webadict is mafia, too, probably.

Jim GroovesterThe smart answer is that I would pick people who would help me win but the answer I am going to give is the people who would be funnest to have on my team.Names, Jim. Who would it be funniest to have on your team?
webadictPretty good conrent so far.Feels kinda eh-y, but... I dunno, call it intuition.Is my content "pretty good" or "kinda eh-y"?
General reads:
Webadict and Vector's spat seems genuine, probably not both scum.
This isn't quite how TricMagic has acted in the past when unenthusiastic about their role, though it is better performance than expected. Possibilities range up to being coached by a scumbuddy, but I'm willing to count it as genuinely improved town play for now.
4maskwolf's survivor claim, if false, is more likely jester than mafia at this point. Trusting for now, since there's a promise of no jesters.
Jim Groovester's opening post matches my thoughts pretty well. The single post leans town, but I'll want more.
If tou want to use meta tells on me, that means you want me to use meta tells on you, and it feels like you want me to read you as Town OR you think that you can push me to read you as Town as evidence that I'm scum. I just don't feel the latter, honestly. And I think that might force for Nitro.
VectorUh, sure. Although I'm starting to be very curious about what you think outside the context of these RVS questions.Fair enough. I think you've been telling me what you think I want to hear, and leaned on the obvious answers more than ones which would elicit responses from me.

Zombies don't play during the day but they can talk with the Necromancer in private and are in fact actionable by abilities if players suspect something is up.Thanks. Noted.
Do you think 4mask is actually an anti-town third-party/SK?I don't have any compelling reason to believe 4mask is an SK, I was just pointing out that it was possibly consistent with their claim. Let's see how many kills there are at night!
I didn't intend that to be particularly unsuspicious towards Tric. As I said, some games have a townsperson. Many don't. Drawing any kind of attention to one's self unbidden is mildly town-sided, but baiting town watchers is scum-sided.notquitethereI think it's fine. His information isn't wrong and it's good to know (though I dislike the suspicious tone towards 4maskwolf and the unsuspicious tone towards TricMagic, feels manipulative).

I could die this night and then how would I post this useful information? Who else is going to do the homework? I'm trying to right an information asymmetry between players that have played this game (who could be scum) and everyone else.
Didn't read the thread closely but NQT's big scum team breakdown is useful but I didn't see much in the way of scumhunting or declaring reads. I have found in previous games productive gestures like that scummy when absent of meaningful scumhunting.Absolutely. I get this kind of pushback in every game where I provide information. People are always like "yeah but it's not scum reads". I'm a man for all seasons, I can do both. But I am beholden to the laws of time and space just like everyone else, so I usually can't do both simultaneously. This criticism will hold water if I do literally nothing else in the day other than be informative.

Are you trying to win a death-wincon? Or just throwing people off your real scent?
Unvote.

I like this even less.
I've never played with you so I don't know if this is typical for you but you look like you're trying too hard.I'm willing to believe 4mask for now, while his claim hurts us at night it does remove a lynch candidate for today.
What do you think, Vector? BK?
You two switched votes before even letting your original vote questions get answered.
I'm willing to give the benefit - I think he's proved his point.
Unvote.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this makes me uneasy.
BluarianKnight: I'll be completely honest in saying I've been watching them in Vengeful, but I'm very much a fan of this Blue Knight. I think they're a solid Townlean in spite of ToonyMan and 4maskwolf because they're defo Town.

Ah. Okay. I see now that voting you is pointless. Unvote. You are going to do very little Today and that will show that you are scum. But, if you'd like, you could give everyone some reads while you're asking for them from other people.
That reads post was not a reads post, that was a joke. Never mind that.You don't need evidence on the Luckyowl feeling here. Just needs more information on why you're feeling it. Also, some on ToonyMan too, because I disagree on that one. What about the people that you haven't read yet?
Games with lots of players are a bit difficult to get into when you are late, but I'll try. First of all, I don't understand why you claimed, tricmagic? How is that supposed to help town in any way?
I think webadict is town this time mostly a gut-read on his reads post which I think was town-motivated. But I have a bad habit of taking people giving reads analysis as town, so I might reconsider that.
Blueknight might be town if I compare his play in this game with the VM. In that game, his posts were filled with explanations. Although, someone might be coaching him. Still, some of his posts are scummy.
I am 90%sure luckyowl is mafia this game but I am not going to press that until I have evidence.
NQT hasn't posted a lot but I think he is town this time as his posts don't look like he has been constructing townreads on himself.
4mask is probably survivor but I haven't read anything about wererat. What is that?
Toonyman is slight scumlean idk why.
Jim G is probably town or probaly not town ie null.
ICT is townlean.
... I don't want to have to fix the code right now.pushes NQT up from light blue/scum-lean to null/town[-lean status.
Night everyone. Please don't hammer during the night when I'm asleep? And would still want to see a Mamobo votecounting for those not voting.7 to Hammer. Day ends on February 26, 2021 at 15:00 CST (~45 hours remaining).[/font]But there's no hammers in this game!

I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.What specific role name do you have then?
Could you elaborate, please? On a scale of 1-10, how convinced are you that 4mask is not on a standard scum team?I'm 9/10 4mask not being on a scum team, and 6/10 on him not being a serial killer. Scum-team players rarely draw attention to themselves unbidden like that, and claiming wererat is the correct play. I remember playing a survivor in one of Vector's games and the scum team just randomly killed me and I remember musing at the time that I'd have been better off claiming from the start to avoid that fate happening. Here's a question for you: which player is being most cautious right now?
7 to Hammer. Day ends on February 26, 2021 at 15:00 CST (~45 hours remaining).[/font]
Woo boy this is going to be a lot of reads. Ealry days, but might as well post a real readlist. Lets see how well I do.Alright, so a while back, I was gonna give 4maskwolf some credit and lower my townlean on Tric, but I never got around to posting it, so... Whatever. But, I want to note this post down for later reference. I'm still leaning on TricMagic being Town, and it's going to be fairly difficult because I don't have a really good reason on why, but I am baffled by some of these reads and still think they're Town. Luckyowl is the weirdest one specifically because Lucky hadn't done anything. Why am I Town?
webadict: Slight Town read. Don't expect any analysis on this cause after vengeful my memory on the first day of the game is fuzzy.
Vector: Vector doesn't get a read or a color. Ties to webadict yes, but no color. Null-read.
TricMagic: Naturally I cannot give comments on my own alignment. Ifyou read ths, have a cookie. ;D
ToonyMan: Town read. Previous post says it all, and none of their other posts dispute it for me. [See wuba for explanation there.]
BluarianKnight: Null. Seems town-like. But his voting seems more like taking my advice on using your vote literally and liberally. There is the whole parrot thing 4mask points out. On the whole, I'll tentatively place them as town for the sake of narrowing down the list.
Luckyowl: Town-ish. This will likely solidify as we enter future days with less people.
Secretdorf: Top scum-pick of today. Few posts, a joke post, and a readlist with more scum on it than can fit in this game, and few to no town.
4maskwolf: Survivor, third party wolf throwing shade, or scum. You can decide, but any votes on him won't do much.[I will get to the rest of your post later, it's just that one point I wanted to address while I got going]
Toaster: Null. You, like Vector, don't get any reads. Unlike Vector, you also aren't currently tied to anyone.
juicebox: Null. Like Toaster. I need to see more from you to gain an opinion.
Jim Groovester: How quaint the suspicious people are at the bottom. Lurking, promising more later, you get the jist. Your streak may end, so best get hunting so it doesn't happen.
IcyTea31: Gut instinct that your posts were wrong. And now you are using yours, so... Kinda leaning away from you for now, but you will end up higher if secretdorf is scum.
notquitethere: Still notquitehere. Leaning more to scummyness than towniness, but not to the point you get a blue color.
Previewed, fixed typos and sent. An uncut version for my current feelings on everyone. Enjoy and read, if I ever die it will be useful. If not, still useful, just not confirmed one way or the other.
@Webadict:Yes, but you often steal my points before I get to post them. Upsetting.Also, I feel like I'm sheeping ToonyMan hard because I agree with a lot of things they're saying.That's because you know I'm right or you know I'm right.
Absolutely. I get this kind of pushback in every game where I provide information. People are always like "yeah but it's not scum reads". I'm a man for all seasons, I can do both. But I am beholden to the laws of time and space just like everyone else, so I usually can't do both simultaneously. This criticism will hold water if I do literally nothing else in the day other than be informative.Would you mind a readslist for us? I do appreciate the scumlist, and it'd be pretty useful when we need to fullclaim, but I am in agreement with the rest that it's not a replacement for reads.
Gonna do another post in a bit, with more questions to folks - but I just wanted to answer the questions aimed at me first. Let me know if I missed one - I genuinely might have missed a question, I did only a scroll through for my name.I would appreciate this. I'd also like to point out that I could very well be lying to you, and it's not wise to trust everything I say. So, the question is what makes you trust me?
I am present, and again I am town. I won't be saying much since I hate day 1 and would only make myself look scummy eventhough I am town. If anything I will be useful for townies during the night phase. If scum kills me then at least you'll see I'll flip and my night action will still go through either way.... Okay, so like, first of all, if you're Town, it'd make more sense to provide something so that you give scum rationale to kill you. Second of all, if you make it to Day 2 with what you have now, won't you be in a monumentally worse position because of that stance?
Just to confirm, there are no vote Hammers in this game. And the day ends 17:00 PST, not 15:00 CST. Not that I'm complaining about web having this stuff in Mamobo, just making sure people are clear on the details.I forgot how time works. I am apparently very tired.
NQT's entire analysis of me basically feels like it's lacking any kind of actual analysis based on his knowledge of my previous play and is just the most clinical possible analysis in order to read my claim as legitimate in hopes of getting me on his good side.Are people seriously suspecting you? That's incredibly silly. There's no point right now.

Mmm, yes. My votes give you reason to think I'm town. Which votes are those? I have not cast a vote during Day 1.
Off from work. Expect a bigger post in a couple hours.
Oh, apologies Meph - forgot to unvote.You don't have to explicitly unvote, it's implied when you vote someone else.
Unvote.
Secretdorf
4mask, you're absolutely capable of a bold fake claim, hence the numbers I offered Toaster. But the vote on you was me half remembering a werebear serial killer and recalling a recent game where Secret claimed survivor but was a serial killer. I didn't put that much thought into it as my opening vote.Mm. Yeah my thing is more loose theory than anything, there's a reason I didn't vote you even after all those posts. I'm still uncomfortable that you even admit that your first thought was SK and not wolf because, y'know, that's exactly what my concern was, but the fact that there was an SK who claimed survivor recently ameliorates that somewhat. I'd honestly forgotten about that game despite Toony even explicitly referencing it early (lolme).
I just don't think it massively likely you'd make a scum-team play like this as your very first move. That's what makes me doubt you're on a team. But maybe I'm wrong! We've played a lot of games together but unfortunately I don't retain the details of every single play-by-play moment. Can you point to a game where you made a similar claim as your starting move? It makes sense when there's some heat or preventative to throw off the scent.
As for Secret, in this game: I want to see him post some more, so far nothing from him would give anyone a firm handle on his alignment.
I am present, and again I am town. I won't be saying much since I hate day 1 and would only make myself look scummy eventhough I am town. If anything I will be useful for townies during the night phase. If scum kills me then at least you'll see I'll flip and my night action will still go through either way.Since when? I have reason to suspect your play right now because it's very different than normal and I've only seen your town play many, many times (besides ONUW which hardly counts).
(https://i.imgur.com/DJStUm7.gif) SCUMSLIP ALERT SCUMSLIP ALERT SCUMSLIP ALERT (https://i.imgur.com/DJStUm7.gif)Mmm, yes. My votes give you reason to think I'm town. Which votes are those?

Off from work. Expect a bigger post in a couple hours.
I really want to play this one but I don't have time due to lots of tests. So I request replacement. That first reads post was more a question to tricmagic than a real read. I thought that was clear. And I can see scum are jumping on me real fast but dont have time to properly play this. I really think people should unvote me as my replacement will probably do something good as they will probably have time. :DAlright. At least Persus13 said he was interested and wanted to play. The earlier the replace the better.
NQT is genuine when he claims this I think yeah.stuffMm. Yeah my thing is more loose theory than anything, there's a reason I didn't vote you even after all those posts.

You're talking a lot but not saying much.
4maskwolf instant-claimed survivor 20 minutes into game start. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8251793#msg8251793) He did not talk to anybody about doing this. Can we discredit that they aren't some other harmful third-party? No we cannot, but he's not mafia and not worth lynching today.

That leaves Secretdorf and LuckyOwl, both of whom have been mostly absent for D1. It's unusual for both of them to have this little presence in the game, and I can see an argument that they're both lurking scum.
LuckyOwl: Refusing to participate in the daygame also makes you look scummy. At least if you said something that looks scummy someone could push you on it and possibly come to the conclusion that you aren't scum. As it is the only conclusion we can come to right now is that you don't want to play the game, which if not a scummy sentiment is most definitely anti-town.
What specifically made you change from NQT to Lucky? Do you still suspect NQT?Lucky is setting off my scum radar pretty hard. I'm not really a huge fan of NQT still, but they have been participating and seem more genuine.
NQT's whole response to my claim has been pretty mrrrr for one simple reason.
. . .
Thinking on it, I'd propose a 4mask/Secretdorf/scumteam. One with very weird things going on and missing a member, but seeking to turn the lynch off of another.
Jim Groovester: How quaint the suspicious people are at the bottom. Lurking, promising more later, you get the jist. Your streak may end, so best get hunting so it doesn't happen.
I could just be saying that to throw you off track you know. Why the shift to Blue without any reasoning.
Well i guess I should get my post count up then.
I'll start by saying I believe Tricmagic's claim, they just seem genuine to me.
I think 4mask's claim is a bit more dubious however, especially when you consider the possibility of a 4mask Toaster scumteam.
Since you asked NQT
. . .
NQT is null for me
I am 90%sure luckyowl is mafia this game but I am not going to press that until I have evidence.
@Jim:

Webadict, I meant getting intoxicated there. On beer. Hammered. Shitfaced. Drunk on the booze.Seven beers to hammer.
juiceboxIcyTea: I plan on finding scum and lynching them D2 instead.Let's assume there's good town play from other players and scum gets lynched on D1, but you can't quite take credit for it. Where do you start looking for scum on D2?
Jim GroovesterThe smart answer is that I would pick people who would help me win but the answer I am going to give is the people who would be funnest to have on my team.Names, Jim. Who would it be funniest to have on your team?
JimDidn't read the thread closely but NQT's big scum team breakdown is useful but I didn't see much in the way of scumhunting or declaring reads. I have found in previous games productive gestures like that scummy when absent of meaningful scumhunting.Absolutely. I get this kind of pushback in every game where I provide information. People are always like "yeah but it's not scum reads". I'm a man for all seasons, I can do both. But I am beholden to the laws of time and space just like everyone else, so I usually can't do both simultaneously. This criticism will hold water if I do literally nothing else in the day other than be informative.
IcyTea
I felt like I wasn't being pressuring enough - so I used my vote. I bandwagoned and let others lead me along last night, and I realized I probably should make a more legitimate claim before putting my vote out. It's why dropped my vote on you - I didn't have much of a claim, and my intuition told me on second-read you probably were town.
. . .
I was trying too hard at the time - again, didn't build a case, was terrible scumhunting practices I'll admit to now.
Also; parroting Web? Yeah, I did that too. I'll admit this now - I've got a bias on Web and Vector - both of them I highly respect, and I've tried to base my strategies off of their plays (wackiness + well researched posts). So, when I saw this;
. . .
I was definitely swayed by this - I'll try to keep my bias off this, but I'm willing to admit fault.
Mmm, yes. My votes give you reason to think I'm town. Which votes are those? I have not cast a vote during Day 1.
Off from work. Expect a bigger post in a couple hours.
Welp. I didn't mean votes - I meant prods. I got no fucking clue why I put votes.
@Vector: Pocketing the noob? I like that you think I exist in a vacuum, and that I can't expect people to be Town unless they are a noob. I watched all of Vengeful 14 and saw a good player. I watched YellowPixel's play, too. I will say that BK is not really a noob to me. YP is, but BK seems like their experience translates well here, so not exactly a noob. Though, I will correct something I missed yesterday: I meant to type that, within the last few games we've played, I have suspected you as Town, however, this time I feel much more solidly that this assertion is correct, especially since you hardswerved based on that accusation and OMGUSed back.
Your own readslist has a number of skilled players at the top, so obviously that wasn't my point. BK is an outsider relative to this board, thus potentially psychological vulnerable, thus good to buddy and pocket. You buddied up to them, and you didn't do the usual "if you want to take down BK, you'll go through me first!" thing you typically do as town (see HK on MU, MightyMushroom in CYOM4, repeatedly chainsawing me and LuckyOwl in various other games).
You have indeed suspected me as town on many occasions, but you have also, every single time, tried to determine if I was town, because you know that having me on your side is better than the other way around. But this time it's impossible, so you have to attack me -- tentatively, gently, because you know I haven't done anything -- and rely on thin scumtells, like "Vector playing erratically" (when have I not?).
I'm not swerving based on your accusation, kiddo. I'm swerving because you outed yourself as scum. You know that you have to come and get me. It's what we do. But you also know that I've got teeth, and this time, you sound like you're afraid to die.

If anything I will be useful for townies during the night phase. If scum kills me then at least you'll see I'll flip and my night action will still go through either way.
I find Secretdorf, LuckyOwl, and BluearianKnight scummiest of the players here. Secretdorf for not voting a player he finds 90% scummy, LuckyOwl for being abnormally passive (pfeh, feels like saying Org is low content though), and BluearianKnight for making me feel like he's trying to tune his appearance a certain way but not succeeding particularly well at it.
Let's go with Secretdorf. Yeah he's being replaced whatever.
Secretdorf played like someone who didn't have much time to give to the game, and now he's asking for a replace for just that reason. He was talky enough in Vengeful 14 and CYOM4.Hmmmm. Would you say you have a better read on Secret and Tric now?
I barely played CYOM4, so there's hardly any standard of comparison. I actually have more time to participate this game.

Since you asked NQTI'm super tired, but this doesn't make any sense at all. Why are you voting NQT if you nullread them but also scumlean on two other people? What's the game plan?
...
NQT is null for me, as well as Web and Vector, Bluarian Knight,Toaster, and JG
...
That leaves Secretdorf and LuckyOwl, both of whom have been mostly absent for D1. It's unusual for both of them to have this little presence in the game, and I can see an argument that they're both lurking scum.
I don't find his play here comparable to CYOM4.You sure about that? I'm seeing the same Secret in both these games, the only difference is that Secret chose not to replace out in CYOM4. He was town in that so are you saying he's mafia now?
(pfeh, feels like saying Org is low content though)
So... You have level 0 suspects, but level 3 metaplays against NQT? Or is this like level 5? It's stuff like this that makes people think you're a wolf.What's going on is I'm not explaining myself very well.NQT's entire analysis of me basically feels like it's lacking any kind of actual analysis based on his knowledge of my previous play and is just the most clinical possible analysis in order to read my claim as legitimate in hopes of getting me on his good side.Are people seriously suspecting you? That's incredibly silly. There's no point right now.
NQT entered the thread with a vote on my and accusing me of being an SK. This feels like an acknowledgement of my meta, as back in the days I played with him a lot that was absolutely something I would have done. But what's been bothering me throughout the day is that his first thought was that I was SK, not Mafia. Because that same meta knowledge that would lead to "4mask might actually claim survivor as an SK" should absolutely have lead to "4mask might actually claim survivor as mafia" because that's absolutely something I would have done. He's seen it before, when I claimed martyr as a member of the mafia team. So the fact that his first thought was "SK or survivor" and not "Mafia or survivor" feels like he came into the game knowing for a fact I wasn't mafia, so his knee-jerk reaction was "is this an SK?"
notquitethere - NQT, you have a fair point about expectations of analysis and being in a no-win situation, but I also recall that as scum you have a habit of analyzing the setup over interactions; in the recent BYOR, you said "I'll get to it D2," whereas in Skynet's game, you made sure to have something even when, with your own style, you admittedly take time to get things rolling.I think you're forgetting that I was technically scum in the Skynet game. Yeah, canonically Sarah Connor is the hero, and I felt heroic going up against everyone, but I wasn't town in that game. Do you think my posts after posting the info post have been low in interaction?
Also, you're currently voting ICT, but as far as I can tell the only reason why that's happening is because ICT called you out (for reasons you disagree with, but whatever).I'm voting them because their line of attack was bizarre and wholly fabricated, a complete nonsense-tier case. Someone asked if this was a pressure vote or a real vote: it's pressure that could become a lynching vote depending on Icy's next move.
I guess I'll follow up with a couple of questions:1. Fine. Nothing outstanding but mostly compatible with being town. Feels a bit "correct play" orientated, bit by the numbers. But on D1 without any info, that's forgivable to an extent. Ball has to get rolling somehow. 2. Any relationship speculation I did now would be worthless, there isn't enough information yet. 3. Juicebox is completely reactive, low profile, no pressure. Scum or weak town. Blue is paying attention and pushing, but their play feels a bit... telegraphed. On balance, Juicebox.
1. What do you think of the rest of ICT's play so far this game?
2. If ICT is scum, who else do you think is on the team?
3. OK, and the vision test: who is scummier, Blue or juicebox? And why?

Secretdorf - replacing out so idgaf. I hated the readlist but they're replacing out. I haven't figured out yet what being jittery says about their alignment.
And look, moreover, as a player should I try to always be playacting the role of how I was in previous games to satisfy people's meta read? I can only take this game on it's own terms.
Now, I recognize that this is a vote which is on the surface seeming to punish you for pro-town behavior (or at least the illusion of it): "you're scummy because you're more active than normal." There's a little more to it than that, but I want to recognize the situation.
I have more stuff I want to ask you, but that is going to wait on conversation from ICT.
Slots up for replacement can be scum.
That's interesting, but for clarity, I'm curious about your general reads. You've been following up on RVS questions for a while.
ICT, could we have your readslist when you're around next? And your general impression of the current conflicts?
From noticing that scum!NQT had not been participating in the early scumhunting, and if the town joins in on speculating currently-irrelevant mechanics, from scumhunting ourselves. You didn't answer the question: what use is that post for town on this Day, and why was it more critical to spend time and effort on it than on your early participation?What are we supposed to take away from the scumteam speculation? Wouldn't it have been better to do it on, say, D2 or D3 when we've had some flavour hints and possibly a dead scum team member, rather than on D1 when we don't? This early, it mostly strikes me as a distraction and a waste of time.I'm terribly sorry I provided useful information critical for playing this game as town a day earlier than strictly required. I could die this night and then how would I post this useful information? Who else is going to do the homework? I'm trying to right an information asymmetry between players that have played this game (who could be scum) and everyone else.
But look, let's follow this thought of yours. What event is scum!NQT distracting us from?
Secretdorf: I like their reads post; looking forward to seeing more of himFor convenience: SD (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252238#msg8252238),Tric (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252277#msg8252277).
Tric: I don't agree with their reads at all.
To the scumhunt;Of course RVS questions are loaded. They're conversation-starters, and making them twisty enhances the amount of thought people put into them. True scumhunting can't begin before a conversation does.
There's a difference between asking pointed questions, and asking loaded questions - and you were asking the latter. It didn't feel like you were scumhunting - but trying to get any reason to twist folks words. That's at least my feeling on the matter - and it's why I put my vote to you at the beginning.
Also, as for the buddying thing;Missed, probably. I generally work with quoted posts in isolation, focusing on whomever I'm talking with. Also, now that I'm looking at it, you should have specified that snippet; I don't generally consider flattery buddying, unless it's directed at the target and not spoken aside them. For the original question, I don't think it's massively telling, especially since you were able to notice it. Webadict seems to have read your past games, and would probably go about pocketing you in another way as scum.BluarianKnight: I'll be completely honest in saying I've been watching them in Vengeful, but I'm very much a fan of this Blue Knight. I think they're a solid Townlean in spite of ToonyMan and 4maskwolf because they're defo Town.
This is what I meant. It was only a short scroll above the post you quoted from me.
So, another question to you, IcyTea - did you miss Web's post, or purposely ignore it?
juicebox - Low postcount, but I think he's not lurking or scumming - just not the big-post sort, which isn't bad. Town to me for now.Why is juicebox town with a low amount of content, but Luckyowl isn't? With the emphasis your readslist puts on slips, wouldn't it be natural to look at the ones who haven't given the chance to make slips?
Luckyowl - My read from previous research and games with him is completely off to the guy I see now - You're lurking, and from what I can tell for no good reason. I've got a decent guess you're trying to stay under the radar for some reason, which leads me to believe scumlean.
I am present, and again I am town. I won't be saying much since I hate day 1 and would only make myself look scummy eventhough I am town.Not saying much is one of the scummiest things you can do. Even if you don't think you have much insightful analysis to make, please at least participate in the conversation so people can get a read on you. Least you could do is say who you think is the scummiest and who the most trustworthy.
Is there much value in asking questions more or less to the tune of 'you already fucked up, how do you dig yourself out of the hole?'?Not much beyond seeing how far ahead juicebox is thinking, RVS fare.
Firstly I said funnest, as in, most fun, not funniest. And of the players in the game I would probably pick woobadooba, ToonyMan, and Toaster.Boring answer, but fair.
As for funniest, I would spend the game converting LuckyOwl over and over again even if he was unconvertable and even if the conversion was successful.Is this wishful thinking, or do you actually suspect scum has a conversion mechanic?
TricMagic:TricMagic:And there is a reason I tied those two.
Care to say what it is?
You're talking a lot but not saying much.
And now you're ignoring me, scum.
I'm not in favor of a Blue lynch though, and would remind them to read their posts for errors in the words like that. There are better lynches in my opinion.I take it you read blue town, then? What's brought you to that interpretation?
-shrug- If I'm not wolf I can't choose what reads I have. Lacking TMI and attempting to townside means my reads are whatever catches my attention and makes me think "this is a wolf" or "this is a town".So... You have level 0 suspects, but level 3 metaplays against NQT? Or is this like level 5? It's stuff like this that makes people think you're a wolf.What's going on is I'm not explaining myself very well.NQT's entire analysis of me basically feels like it's lacking any kind of actual analysis based on his knowledge of my previous play and is just the most clinical possible analysis in order to read my claim as legitimate in hopes of getting me on his good side.Are people seriously suspecting you? That's incredibly silly. There's no point right now.
NQT entered the thread with a vote on my and accusing me of being an SK. This feels like an acknowledgement of my meta, as back in the days I played with him a lot that was absolutely something I would have done. But what's been bothering me throughout the day is that his first thought was that I was SK, not Mafia. Because that same meta knowledge that would lead to "4mask might actually claim survivor as an SK" should absolutely have lead to "4mask might actually claim survivor as mafia" because that's absolutely something I would have done. He's seen it before, when I claimed martyr as a member of the mafia team. So the fact that his first thought was "SK or survivor" and not "Mafia or survivor" feels like he came into the game knowing for a fact I wasn't mafia, so his knee-jerk reaction was "is this an SK?"
unvoteDid you ever explain why you voted NQT, someone you said in the same post was a null read along with like half the game?
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...NQT's whole response to my claim has been pretty mrrrr for one simple reason.
. . .
I get the point you're trying to make about NQT going too easy on you or giving you too much slack for your survivor claim.
What do you make of TricMagic who more aggressively doubted your claim?
I could probably go dig that up but you're posting ten times more frequently than I am so I figure you have the bandwidth to spoonfeed me.
Sorry, my brain wasn't working for a second, that was clearly a meme vote in response to him asking you to vote.unvoteDid you ever explain why you voted NQT, someone you said in the same post was a null read along with like half the game?
I'm starting to doubt that read though for the simple reason that while I'd expect the veteran players to follow along with "not scumhunting the survivor as a wolf" I'm increasingly unable to convince myself that wolf!Tric wouldn't OMGUS me off my push, survivor claim or no. Someone with more knowledge of how Tric plays would probably have a better read on him but I've only played a few games with him so I don't have the best read there.Tric absolutely is the kind of player who would OMGUS you off a push, survivor claim as no, as any alignment. I wouldn't take it as alignment-indicative.
From noticing that scum!NQT had not been participating in the early scumhunting, and if the town joins in on speculating currently-irrelevant mechanics, from scumhunting ourselves. You didn't answer the question: what use is that post for town on this Day, and why was it more critical to spend time and effort on it than on your early participation?My early participation was ruled out by injuring my leg and as I don't own a time machine it's useless to speculate how best I could have that early time. But once I got into the thread, as promised, I have provided actual hunting as well as the information. So your purely hypothetical criticism proved unfounded. Why was it best to do this on D1? I don't know why you would think it's irrelevant at this stage. It's highly relevant whether 4mask is telling the truth, what role a fakeclaiming Tric could actually have, what kind of third parties we're facing, the fact that scum teams can have town roles etc. Giving people this information up front can stop a lot of misconceptions.
For convenience: SD (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252238#msg8252238),Tric (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252277#msg8252277).I don't expect to agree with any player about everyone, but Secret was close to my thoughts on Blue, Web, Lucky and Jim. Tric I think is wrong about Secret, Lucky, Juicebox, Jim. It seems especially bizarre to give a free pass to Juice and Lucky when anything they can accuse Secret of doing (lurking? low content?) is equally or more true of Juice and Lucky.
What do you like about SD's reads? They disagree with yours on several points, and only have explanations for the reads on two players, webadict and BluarianKnight.
Meanwhile, you say you disagree with Tric's reads, but they agree with SD's reads on webadict and BluarianKnight. Which of Tric's reads do you disagree with the most?
I like this tally, it will give a lot of info for the future.What will you conclude if you lynch Secret and he turns out town?
Literally anyone, does anything Juicebox has come out with make sense from a town POV?Not especially, no, and I'm completely happy with that slot dying today.
As I have not been replaced yet, I'll say that I am being lynched due to thinking I am lurking scum, but I am not. Scum are jumping on me because I am not defending myself and townies think I am the perfect lynch target. I would have claimed but I am not because scum will know how to kill me which is bad for town. Luckyowl's probably a far better target than I but he is on the scumteam so scum are not fueling a lynch on him. I think NQT is probably town because theyre not going for the easy lynch.
As my last words, I'll say tricmagic is most likely scum but I am not voting for them because other people think they are town and also they could be lying as town because their claim is simply a lie and I don't know why they are being townread by some people.
Luckyowl's play so far in this game is almost opposite to their town play. Why is that not clear to people? When they are town, they are scumhunting and not just keep saying they are town. I at least tried to post my thoughts on the game but the large amount of content is almost impossible for me to read and properly process and analyze due to already less time I have due to RL. Many of my reads so far are slightly influenced by other reads which I considered genuine. Therefore, I'll say that any town player voting me should immediately unvote me because if you dont, then persus or heydude will likely have to claim which will be not good for town. As an alternative lynch, I'll propose luckyowl or tricmagic. Oh and toonyman's probably town too.
It looks like as the day end approaches some people attempt to manipulate the vote away from secret for their own reasons. Quiet may mean a dead town, but this isn't quiet is it?...What is this take? Day doesn't end for more than 24 hours (It's like 33 hours rn). DADV isn't even as applicable here because our meta isn't the same as most sites and it's literally never applicable this far from deadline. Even if you thought day ended in nine hours it's still way too early to do DADV, even on Bay12.
TricMagicI like this tally, it will give a lot of info for the future.What will you conclude if you lynch Secret and he turns out town?
It's, like, the most basic level 0 take, but Tric could 100% be a wolf with blue.
You sure you want to thunderdome the survivor?It's, like, the most basic level 0 take, but Tric could 100% be a wolf with blue.
Hua... I'd be fine with a 4mask vote though, it's stuff like this that makes me think he isn't a survivor but a wolf.

I'm not sure what that is besides the context clues I've gotten. Don't I need a claim to enter the Thunderdome? This is more hunting a wolf before they decide to kill me.
Tric, Vector, of the three wagons (Secret, Blue, Lucky) which do you favour? What about Juice?
I am also okay with swapping to Luckyowl. I haven't seen anything worth defending, and I'm very baffled still by Blue's defense of them.When I'm prodding at people to reaction test them and get a better sense of their thought processes it's annoying when someone gives them the answer.
@Tric: If you vote 4mask, you're probably gonna get elimmed, and I won't help because it's giving up on scumhunting to vote 4mask.
Perhaps, but here is mine. Trying to shift a vote onto you is both a waste of time and will get me lynched as webadict said. So we'd go into Day 2 down a town and having to lynch you then. But you happen to be third party as a wolf or survivor, so that doesn't help town at all. I'm poking you because you are acting like that, not because I think lynching a lone wolf day 1 is a good idea. Once again, no info is gained from this unless you happen to be mafia making a bold fake-claim, which is somewhat unlikely.I am also okay with swapping to Luckyowl.

The fact that you have any scenarios where I get lynched in the first two days is adorable.

The fact you proposed a thunderdome is disturbing, as it would require town to lynch both of us when we have to find mafia. That's where this scenario is born from, not anything else.

Day ends ~5pm Pacific Friday
Out of curiosity blue how many games here have you read?Overall? I'd say a few dozen - but as of recent only around 6-7 games fully
BluarianKnight: Why am I getting a feeling you're looking for easy targets?
I felt like I wasn't being pressuring enough - so I used my vote. I bandwagoned and let others lead me along last night, and I realized I probably should make a more legitimate claim before putting my vote out. It's why dropped my vote on you - I didn't have much of a claim, and my intuition told me on second-read you probably were town.
. . .
I was trying too hard at the time - again, didn't build a case, was terrible scumhunting practices I'll admit to now.
Also; parroting Web? Yeah, I did that too. I'll admit this now - I've got a bias on Web and Vector - both of them I highly respect, and I've tried to base my strategies off of their plays (wackiness + well researched posts). So, when I saw this;
. . .
I was definitely swayed by this - I'll try to keep my bias off this, but I'm willing to admit fault.
Okay you are doing nothing to make me feel less uneasy about you and in fact are doing the opposite. You are increasing my unease about you.
Mafia is not the game to fall on your sword and bend in response to pressure.
You are acting.Mmm, yes. My votes give you reason to think I'm town. Which votes are those? I have not cast a vote during Day 1.
Off from work. Expect a bigger post in a couple hours.
Welp. I didn't mean votes - I meant prods. I got no fucking clue why I put votes.
I could and am very much tempted to accuse you of making bland reads lists without putting much thought or detail into them, and otherwise going through the motions.
Survivor wins if I survive until the end of the game, whenever that happens. What you're thinking of is called a Watcher, who has to see the game reach a certain day, and is basically never used on Bay12 (or anywhere else for that matter).The Scribe's Tally Sheet

I'm just getting a bit tired of you and was using the latest sheet to make that observation. That sort of logic happens when you rile me up.
Does survivor win if mafia is eliminated before their day? I was under the impression otherwise up till now.
Everyone else: is the complete moon logic Tric's been spewing about me alignment indicative? I've not played as many games with him as most of you have so I'd like some input.Maybe. Tric is always singing from a different songsheet. They could just be flailing town, right now I would say broadly not indicative. But I don't like it.
A survivor wins when the game ends and the game ends when town or a scum faction wins. A survivor can be mildly pro-town in this setup as there are serial killers that both the town and survivors need to defeat.There are Serial Killers is an interesting take considering that there have been several supernaturals (including at least one this size, I got off my ass and skimmed the role sheets for previous games just for this post) with no SKs at all.
NQT, who do you think? And why would you even ask that question of me when my opinion is clear? Also throwing a Juicebox redirection into our paths.I want a Juice lynch most of all. Lucky would be okay. How is trying to get players to consider a player as scum a "redirection"?
Definitely Lucky, but I'll be completely honest that it's primarily about *really* not wanting to LYLO with them again, especially if they're not going to bother participating D1. Every unit of time that they don't post makes them look worse (or more appetizing, I guess).This position is reasonable.
So that this isn't all about policy, I don't think we should wagon Secret when they're up for replace and bothered to come back and make another post. Blue and Juice are ... idk, at least trying. I'm not going to shed tears over any of them getting tossed D1, but I think we have the most to gain from wagoning Lucky.
If they come back and try to defend themselves because they think they're about to die, we'd at least get some data.
You're correct. I meant "if there are" or "as there are possible". That said, there's a reasonable chance of there being an SK by the end of the game, as corrupted resurrections can create them.A survivor wins when the game ends and the game ends when town or a scum faction wins.

Damn it, really? You guys ae really going to vote Luckyowl?
Damn it, really? You guys ae really going to vote Luckyowl?Yes.
webadict: Slight Town read. Don't expect any analysis on this cause after vengeful my memory on the first day of the game is fuzzy. [Recent postings have led me to believe him Town-aligned, so.]
Vector:Vector doesn't get a read or a color. Ties to webadict yes, but no color. Null-read.Scum-lean. Eh, Luckyowl is not the best, and giving a joking suggestion that will get someone lynched hard is not the best indicator. His own feelings on webadict also come into play here.
TricMagic: Naturally I cannot give comments on my own alignment. Ifyou read ths, have a cookie.
ToonyMan: Town read. Previous post says it all, and none of their other posts dispute it for me. This hasn't changed and if anything has solidified over the past day or so.
BluarianKnight: Null. Seems town-like. But his voting seems more like taking my advice on using your vote literally and liberally. There is the whole parrot thing 4mask points out. On the whole, I'll tentatively place them as town for the sake of narrowing down the list. [Recent vote comes off as trying to get out of being lynched. It's working, but not to my preference. Particularly when the vote was going for dorf at the time. While suspicious, could be indicative of someone town without any info. But they still get dropped a spot.]
Luckyowl: Town-ish. This will likely solidify as we enter future days with less people. [Seriously, why Luckyowl? Do you not trust webadict to pick out a scumowl if we get there?]
Secretdorf/Persus: Top scum-pick of today. Few posts, a joke post, and a readlist with more scum on it than can fit in this game, and few to no town. Persus has subbed in, you had best work quickly.
4maskwolf: Survivor, third party wolf throwing shade, or scum. You can decide, but any votes on him won't do much.[I will get to the rest of your post later, it's just that one point I wanted to address while I got going](after these posts, I'm almost certain he is not a survivor. Third party, but not survivor. Werebear isn't something I was aware existed, but such a claim I made is anti-wincon for it if I was. And going after it anyway is completely useless as it's a third-party role that would only trigger off of being targeted. Just ignore it and hunt scum. You can't take the chance you can't actually do SOMETHING to me though, so you want to lynch me, the only thing that would bypass this supposed power.) [Slowly but surely slipping farther and farther into the red.]
Toaster: Null. Unlike last time, do have info on you. If it weren't for web you'd be a town-lean. So there is that going for you.
juicebox: Null. Like Toaster. I need to see more from you to gain an opinion. [Still null]
Jim Groovester: How quaint the suspicious people are at the bottom. Lurking, promising more later, you get the jist. Your streak may end, so best get hunting so it doesn't happen. [Still sus, if only slightly for now.]
IcyTea31: Gut instinct that your posts were wrong. And now you are using yours, so... Kinda leaning away from you for now, but you will end up higher if secretdorf is scum.
notquitethere: Still notquitehere. Leaning more to scummyness than towniness, but not to the point you get a blue color. [Now you get a blue color. And a tie to Icytea for your guilt/innocence.]
In LO's case, no info is gained from their lynch. At all. We'd be going into Day 2 just as confused as Day 1. (Except those with investigative roles and mafia)I refuse to accept this logic. This logic prevented obvscum!Leafsnail being lynched on Day 1 of BYOR15 which still makes me mad.
LO is an easy lynch, and one without any info gained from it. They are obviously suspicious, but investigative roles can check them out to see if it pans out any.No.
It's, like, the most basic level 0 take, but Tric could 100% be a wolf with blue.I could see it.
This is probably the wrong take.Sounds like a wrong take to me.
But the first thing I thought when I read that post from Persus was that he'd asked his scumbuddies for a quick summary and that's his interpretation of it. It's just a weird takeaway from actually reading up to the point in the game where I claimed wererat, people were more grumpy about my memeing about than about the claim itself and by the time I claimed wererat it was already more or less accepted.
I like how the vote shifted to another person though, predicted that early blue. Doesn't matter if there is nearly a whole 24 hours give or take. The vote can still be shifted..I don't know whether you realize this.
Like: this entire idea of wasting investigative roles on people who are not engaging and playing badly on D1 doesn't make sense. We want a hit on someone who plays well but would be hard to lynch, or to clear Webadict, or whatever.I don't hate the idea of getting removing the risk of the LYLO Owl, there are a lot of ways I could accept losing but to a coinflip isn't one of them.
Information gained from LO's lynch at this point includes "people desperately trying to defend LO" and "the sweet satisfaction of knowing we don't have to LYLO with them." If LO is genuinely busy: fine, they can say that. But they haven't said that. What they've said is that they'll do better later, with no evidence in this game or any other game that they have the intent or inclination to do better later.
It also completely glosses over things like Tric's claim which also happened during that time period.Correct, because my point was that I've basically skimmed over a lot. I needed to post something to let people know I was here and be able to use something to interact with me. So it glosses over things because I completely missed Tric claiming. I imagine Tric probably didn't use any boldface typing in his claim. When I read through more closely I'll check that out, thanks for that.
Persus... That doesn't help you at all. Why sub in if you can't do much? Aren't you hiding behind dorf's posts at this point?Its not supposed to help me, its supposed to let you all know that I'm going to be in intermittently, which is still better than a player who decided not to play the game anymore (not that there's anything wrong with that). I told Meph a few hours ago "I'm busy this weekend, but I'll replace in if heydude can't" and now I'm here.
Who should I be voting if Secretdorf is such an awful choice?
Is this your first time being scum since your return from extended hiatus? I was cranky in BYOR15 and I was scum in that game.
I don't find his play here comparable to CYOM4.You sure about that? I'm seeing the same Secret in both these games, the only difference is that Secret chose not to replace out in CYOM4. He was town in that so are you saying he's mafia now?
LO is an easy lynch, and one without any info gained from it. They are obviously suspicious, but investigative roles can check them out to see if it pans out any.
Also, ToonyMan is town is not a very hot take. And not good for town doesn't mean much. A lot of power roles are like that.
Literally anyone, does anything Juicebox has come out with make sense from a town POV?Can't say it does.
But once I got into the thread, as promised, I have provided actual hunting as well as the information. So your purely hypothetical criticism proved unfounded.Sure, I'll give you that. Did you notice my elephant repellent worked, too?
Why was it best to do this on D1? I don't know why you would think it's irrelevant at this stage. It's highly relevant whether 4mask is telling the truth, what role a fakeclaiming Tric could actually have, what kind of third parties we're facing, the fact that scum teams can have town roles etc. Giving people this information up front can stop a lot of misconceptions.4mask: "survivor is a possible role, a past game had it". Tric's true role: "Tric's true role isn't guessable at this point, and only scum are interested in it". Third party composition: "only 4maskwolf has claimed a third-party role, and survivor is possible, anything else is pointless speculation before the Night". Scum with town roles: "roles aren't alignment-indicative". None of these questions required much research of past games to answer, and I would argue that they don't provide much material to performing the ever-elusive D1 scum lynch.
Do you really think a scum!NQT would think it a priority to publicise the possible composition of the scum teams? Scum want town to forget that vampires are cultists, or that cultists can be mafia, or that hunters can hunt things not in the game.Scum!NQT would think it a priority to do anything that looks like being busy, when true scumhunting is impossible. The possible composition of the scum team is not a valuable piece of information, especially this early, especially when your analysis leaves so many possibilities that it's still essentially unguessable.
Are you really persisting with this bizarre line? C'mon. Just admit spending a non-trivial amount of time informing the town what the threats could be is not actually a scum tell.Spending a non-trivial amount of time on something only tangentially useful to the town when that same time could be used on something directly useful to the town is not a towntell, and when it's done by a player with a heavy burden of experience, it sinks to a scumtell pretty easily.
I don't expect to agree with any player about everyone, but Secret was close to my thoughts on Blue, Web, Lucky and Jim.Jim? SD's thoughts on Jim were literally "probably town or probaly not town".
It seems especially bizarre to give a free pass to Juice and Lucky when anything they can accuse Secret of doing (lurking? low content?) is equally or more true of Juice and Lucky.I agree. Why are you giving Secretdorf a free pass?
Everyone else: is the complete moon logic Tric's been spewing about me alignment indicative? I've not played as many games with him as most of you have so I'd like some input.As far as I can tell, it's an attempt to break the game for town, which is a good look.
Notquitethere - solid town green.
Notquitethere - Strong, strong town vibes. Not as active, but has been asking good questions, and very researched posts.
IcyTea: What are your thoughts on BluarianKnight and NQT? I see your above posts, but I want you to spell it out.BluarianKnight I'm mixed about, especially as they're a new acquaintance. On one hand, their play has been about what I'd expect from noobtown. On the other, their use of jargon implies more experience than I've given them credit for. Jim's argument about it being an act is tempting, and I'd consider them lynchable.
BluarianKnight: Okay, let me break it down a bit more here:No. I'm not voting Blue, especially not over someone like juicebox, Secretdorf, or Luckyowl, and if you seriously think that those three are better to have alive right now than Blue, I'm astounded.
Luckyowl I'll vote BluarianKnight if you vote BluarianKnight. Or post. Or do anything.See above. Like, juicebox has scum equity, they're a fair elimination. Luckyowl has scum equity by virtue of having negative town equity, and will eventually take up all of our time Tomorrow debating whether what they did Today was acceptable. Secretdorf/Persus13... Look, I'm willing to wait on Persus because I forgot while I was writing this that Persus13 had replaced in. I only saw a post or two but Lucky and juice haven't done anything noteworthy Today.
Webadict: What exactly is the reason for your scumlean on Toaster? I can't find anything in their posts to suggest they might be scum.Toaster's attacks are fairly broad, shotgun attack to see what sticks, and in general, anyone that really thinks TricMagic is scum (or at least worthy of being eliminated today) is scummy, ESPECIALLY if it's related to the VT claim, which makes even less sense than going after TricMagic for being standard TricMagic. Oh, and on top of that, Toaster suspecting Jim Groovester of all people. That one is insane! Jim has Town equity out the wazoo, and even if Jim is somehow scum, Jim should still be alive at Lylo... Blah, blah, caveat that Jim continues what they're doing, CMA. Call it crazy. Call it what you want, but Jim's seriously throwing punches, and they're hitting well.
Toony: I like your readslist. Can you expand a little on why Toaster's behavior is weird and you don't trust them at all? Do you think Toaster's monster post is bussing BK?I'll have more to say on this after Lucky posts. If they don't post, then well...my vote stays.
Toony - Why are you giving luckyowl an out, (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252838#msg8252838) when your scum radar felt otherwise? (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252508#msg8252508) Feels like a quick switch.Fret not, I'll have more to say on this in a bit.
Can you explain your Juice town vote? It goes against most other read-lists, so I'm interested why you think he's not null or scumlean.I was mafia partners with him in MVM2, his cases were bad and he didn't actively participate. I don't see that here.
Plus, even if ToonyMan is scum, ToonyMan busses their teammates pretty hard, so I have even less to worry about.Hah, true.
Luckyowl, are you genuinely busy somewhere else this week? I want to hear from you.
@Luckyowl:
What about BK?
What do you think the mafia team are in this game?
I believe your priest claim. You breadcrumb it here. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252432#msg8252432)
The question is whether town!Lucky would stay quiet as priest...
I think the mafia team includes, you,Icytea31, and NQT. But I don't have anything solidfying those claims yet. Just a gut read.

1. You purposely stayed quiet because of your role? That's not something I've ever seen you do as town.
2. You think the mafia team is me, IcyTea, and NQT, but want to lynch Webadict.
3. If you're a scum priest you would most likely resurrect that player back as scum I believe, unless the res goes wrong and they switch alignments (or stay town even? has that happened?)

Vector here first.

. . . In what universe is Web hiding underneath the radar? I fought with him specifically so that we wouldn't have to go through this.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, I want your opinion on this.I think the claim is probably legit, I noticed the soft when he first said it (though I assumed monster hunter at the time). He could still be a scum priest, but... meh? I guess we'll need to see, if the town has a monster hunter it probably wouldn't be a terrible idea to gank lucky after his revive just to make sure.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, I want your opinion on this.Eh? I have no idea what mechanics exist in this game mode, nor do I understand the rez mechanics, so I'm not sure if my opinion counts for much, but I'd honestly rather not chance it, if only because I'm a prime target to be inspected N1 anyway.
I mean.... . . In what universe is Web hiding underneath the radar? I fought with him specifically so that we wouldn't have to go through this.

Look at what I come back to.The take of "let's launch web and see what happens" is pretty terrible, yeah. Why launch you when we can get the same effect by going after someone who's more consensus wolfy (and not, y'know, fairly consensus town).Everyone, and I do mean everyone, I want your opinion on this.Eh?

I am tempted to agree that it's at least semi-legit. I don't think Luckyowl has the capacity to come up with a fakeclaim on their own, and the only person who could reasonably give a defense for this is one of you, NQT, and... I dunno, ToonyMan? That last one's me stretching. And the only person out of those three I'd even begin to expect that is NQT. I'd say I could, but I'd be lying.Everyone, and I do mean everyone, I want your opinion on this.I think the claim is probably legit, I noticed the soft when he first said it (though I assumed monster hunter at the time).

But, I don't know that it shows anything but that Luckyowl is more likely to be Town now, so I'm gonna unvote.
The important question, and the question I'd like you to answer, is not whether web and Vector's fight could be w/w theatre, but whether you believe that it is w/w theatre.. . . In what universe is Web hiding underneath the radar? I fought with him specifically so that we wouldn't have to go through this.
But couldn't your fight had just been staged? I have to doubt everyone. Vector. Just because you fought with him doesn't mean all checks out. You know that very well.
Uh huh...Sorry if that question wasn't clear. What I meant is what kind of mafia team do you think? Vampires, cult, werewolves, that kind of thing.oh my bad, not really sure. It's not easy to know just yet we would have to wait and see as the game progress. I mean, what does Vampire scum do on day 1? or what does a cult scum team do as well? probably the samething as any scumteam: act as town. So I'll answer your question with I don't know as I am not familar with this set up nor have a gut feeling on what type of scumteam we have.
Orangebottle (werewolf)
Once a devout holy man, you are now a Priest of the Lupine Cult. Once during the game you can attempt to resurrect a dead player. However, there is no guarantee that it will work properly. But if it does, you could gain a new ally, one loyal to the Wolf God.
OrangebottleIn other words, there's a high probability we would lose a town player to the mafia if the player we lynched flips town. We would have no idea and Lucky could just say "yeah the res worked I'm town guys". Best case here is that the res messes up and they come back third-party, but I still can't confirm if it's possible for them to stay town, can anybody find an example of that?
You set out once again to grow your pack from the ranks of the dead, hoping that this time you will find a body to perform the Rite of Resurrection on.
You find ToonyMan’s grave, undisturbed since he was buried. You begin digging, and you unearth his casket. With your werewolf strength you pull it out easily and empty it out, spilling ToonyMan’s head and body onto graveyard grass.
You align the head and body and begin drawing the ash circle around him and place the candles at the appropriate points. You begin chanting your prayers to the Wolf God, imploring and calling upon him to return this soul to the mortal world as a servant of the Lupine Cult.
ToonyMan’s flesh heals, and his body grows in size and form and musculature and his face transforms from that of a human to that of a wolf, and you know that your request has been granted.
ToonyMan’s first sight on returning to mortality is that of your smiling face as a human, but it is time to welcome him to your pack as a wolf.
This gets even better, if Lucky flips mafia then Webadict is almost confirmed town.If Lucky flips mafia, it's almost 100% that NQT is their buddy.
In this scenario, Lucky probably communicated with his scum buddies and they told him (or he decided) their whole "let's vote Webadict" ploy. Not buying it.
Unvote. I need to do a hard rethink.
Web, you really don't see a universe where it could be BK/Toaster? BK doesn't wanna vote Toaster ...
Unvote. I need to do a hard rethink.No. I mean, obviously with the caveat that I can always be wrong and future changes, blah blah, but I do think Toaster hard-committed to BK, and I don't think it's a bus. If it's somehow BK/Toaster as w/w, then I'm going to have to eat my hat, but it'll be after I get elimmed for protecting the other one.
Web, you really don't see a universe where it could be BK/Toaster? BK doesn't wanna vote Toaster ...
Basically, I respect Toaster's play too much to see them poking at Jim, and going after TricMagic as well is always scummy in my book.Unvote. I need to do a hard rethink.
Web, you really don't see a universe where it could be BK/Toaster? BK doesn't wanna vote Toaster ...
I never said I didn't want to - just that I didn't understand why folks were voting Toaster. I'd like a bit more of a reason before tossing him as scum.
No. I mean, obviously with the caveat that I can always be wrong and future changes, blah blah, but I do think Toaster hard-committed to BK, and I don't think it's a bus. If it's somehow BK/Toaster as w/w, then I'm going to have to eat my hat, but it'll be after I get elimmed for protecting the other one.
Look at Toaster's argument for BK and tell me that's a w/w bus.
I'll add that I'm still bothered that Secretdorf only voted LuckyOwl after he was prodded and pressured about it instead of doing that to begin with. He's not clear by any means.
As I have not been replaced yet, I'll say that I am being lynched due to thinking I am lurking scum, but I am not. Scum are jumping on me because I am not defending myself and townies think I am the perfect lynch target. I would have claimed but I am not because scum will know how to kill me which is bad for town. Luckyowl's probably a far better target than I but he is on the scumteam so scum are not fueling a lynch on him. I think NQT is probably town because theyre not going for the easy lynch.
As my last words, I'll say tricmagic is most likely scum but I am not voting for them because other people think they are town and also they could be lying as town because their claim is simply a lie and I don't know why they are being townread by some people.
Luckyowl's play so far in this game is almost opposite to their town play. Why is that not clear to people? When they are town, they are scumhunting and not just keep saying they are town. I at least tried to post my thoughts on the game but the large amount of content is almost impossible for me to read and properly process and analyze due to already less time I have due to RL. Many of my reads so far are slightly influenced by other reads which I considered genuine. Therefore, I'll say that any town player voting me should immediately unvote me because if you dont, then persus or heydude will likely have to claim which will be not good for town. As an alternative lynch, I'll propose luckyowl or tricmagic. Oh and toonyman's probably town too.
Luckyowl, are you genuinely busy somewhere else this week? I want to hear from you.
yeah, I work during the day and finish in the evening. So I'm mostly not here for a good while. When the game started on weds I came back to 7 pages of nonsense rvs and memefeast post that I didn't wish to give a 'read' on those sort of nonsense so I went off to play some M&B:2. Here I am and now it seems I'm up the chopping block. So I'll laid out a proposal. I am the priest and I think we should lynch webadict. Mainly for two reason. If he is scum, then we just outted a pretty terrifying scum player, if he is town then I can rez him at night bringing him back into the game as a more powerful confirmed town. It's a win-win in all account. A dead scum! Web is great and a confirmed town! web who was brought from the dead is even better.
I personally wanted to stay quiet for two reasons. First I wanted go off and play games with few hours I have to myself and two I am afraid that I would get night killed all I hope is that someone can protect me as I res Web if he turn out to be town with his lynch. Sadly. I doubt anyone would join in with my plan, but it's the only way I can confirm myself as a town player by bringing a possible town player and make them a powerful confirmed town player. If we lynch a scum! Web then that too confirms me.
I'd really like to hear some logic and persuasive arguments from you. I'm seeing you glom on to the easy target, and I know you're better than that.
Case on BluearianKnight
Tric, Vector, of the three wagons (Secret, Blue, Lucky) which do you favour? What about Juice?
Definitely Lucky, but I'll be completely honest that it's primarily about *really* not wanting to LYLO with them again, especially if they're not going to bother participating D1. Every unit of time that they don't post makes them look worse (or more appetizing, I guess).
So that this isn't all about policy, I don't think we should wagon Secret when they're up for replace and bothered to come back and make another post. Blue and Juice are ... idk, at least trying. I'm not going to shed tears over any of them getting tossed D1, but I think we have the most to gain from wagoning Lucky.
If they come back and try to defend themselves because they think they're about to die, we'd at least get some data.
Damn it, really? You guys ae really going to vote Luckyowl?
*shrug* Look, they're awful to LYLO with and that almost made them into a D1 policy-lynch. Add "I'm just not gonna do D1" to that? Nah. Like, we haven't seen a big scumslip so far other than this kind of disengagement, so we might as well roll.
What's your other recommendation -- 4mask or something? Don't make me laugh.
- LuckyOwl PR claim
- Persus needs a chance to catch up.
How 'bout shooting IcyTea31?
. . .
Leaning ICT and Toaster for sidelining right now. None of ICTs attacks have had much heft.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, I want your opinion on this.
Mm, actually ranking my shoot-then-rez list:
Everyone else: is the complete moon logic Tric's been spewing about me alignment indicative? I've not played as many games with him as most of you have so I'd like some input.
This is probably the wrong take.
But the first thing I thought when I read that post from Persus was that he'd asked his scumbuddies for a quick summary and that's his interpretation of it. It's just a weird takeaway from actually reading up to the point in the game where I claimed wererat, people were more grumpy about my memeing about than about the claim itself and by the time I claimed wererat it was already more or less accepted.
It also completely glosses over things like Tric's claim which also happened during that time period.
Vector: Low-profile play implies something to hide. Scum-or-cop. Readslist looks like town PoV.
QuoteAs for funniest, I would spend the game converting LuckyOwl over and over again even if he was unconvertable and even if the conversion was successful.Is this wishful thinking, or do you actually suspect scum has a conversion mechanic?
Looking at how the wind is blowing towards lynching one of the low-activity players, I think juicebox is where I want my vote to be right now, as only NQT is pushing for that one. If correct, it'd be so unlikely to be a bus that it'd core NQT in my book. I'm fine with a Luckyowl lynch, too.
Jim, do you think Lucky and Juicebox are less scummy than Secret?
Literally anyone, does anything Juicebox has come out with make sense from a town POV?
Do you really think a scum!NQT would think it a priority to publicise the possible composition of the scum teams? Scum want town to forget that vampires are cultists, or that cultists can be mafia, or that hunters can hunt things not in the game.
Are you really persisting with this bizarre line? C'mon. Just admit spending a non-trivial amount of time informing the town what the threats could be is not actually a scum tell.
Picking lurkers is not a bland or easy read.
How am I aiming for low-fruits? Hell, at this rate anyone I feel are scum could be 'low-fruits'. Lucky and Secret are playing in a way completely different then what I saw them do in Vengeful - even if they're busy, Secret's been half-assing his posts, and Lucky has barely interacted. Maybe they've both suddenly gotten busy after signing up, but I don't believe that.
Jim - You've recently unvoted, but haven't put a new vote down. Who are you leaning to vote on, and why?
Icytea - Your recent post shows your dislike of NQT's 'smokescreen' posts, (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252831#msg8252831) when your own posts can (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252599#msg8252599) easily be claimed (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8251840#msg8251840) the same type of smokescreening. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252183#msg8252183) Unless I misunderstand, your posts are just about as cluttered and hard to read as his at points, so could you elaborate?If you read through those posts of mine you linked, you realize I actually question people and analyze their words in them. By smokescreen I mean a post that's busywork meant to hide a scum player's lack of scumhunting. NQT's scumteam speculation post excuses a time investment that wasn't spent on something useful, but on providing information which is largely useless right now and which would have taken far less time to retrieve once it became relevant and we knew what to look for. It looks like a lot of effort spent to help the town, but it isn't.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, I want your opinion on this.I agree with you, Luckyowl's plan makes no sense for town. Lynching someone they suspect is town, counting on the revive to go through (if LO is town, why wouldn't scum try to prevent it, now that they know about it?), and counting on the revive to not change web's alignment. From a scum point of view it makes far more (any) sense.
It's highly relevant whether 4mask is telling the truth, what role a fakeclaiming Tric could actually have, what kind of third parties we're facing, the fact that scum teams can have town roles etc. Giving people this information up front can stop a lot of misconceptions.I called this out because I thought these things were trivial to check, but apparently NQT was right on that last part at least.
At the time I posted that, Vector's interaction with me was very one-sided with boring answers, giving me a "don't look at me" impression. And their other posts were similarly not attention-catching. By now, Vector is clearly feeling much more secure, which leaves me wondering about the change, but I'm happy to let them be town for today at least.Vector: Low-profile play implies something to hide. Scum-or-cop. Readslist looks like town PoV.
Low profile? What?
I get no impression Vector is trying to avoid anything.
If I read this right this is actually an indirect attack on notquitethere?In a way. NQT is my top suspicion of the veteran players. I think considering an infolynch to confirm him does indeed imply that I want him checked.
None of ICTs attacks have had much heft.I suppose a vote demands a response, but I think to this my best response is to just keep playing and find an angle of "attack with much heft". Unless you have a more specific complaint?
How 'bout shooting IcyTea31?
- LuckyOwl PR claimA true PR claim doesn't mean Lucky isn't scum, as scum can have town roles (as I already pointed out in my big post) and a scum priest is de facto converter. It's less informative to kill Lucky now he's claimed, that much is true. But it says nothing about Tric's possible alignment.
- Tric hard chainsawing LuckyOwl doesn't make sense for Tric being scum and LO town. If LO is town, Tric is probably also town.
4mask, you've got 87 posts in this game but I don't see a reads list. Hit me with what you got.Word.
Luckyowl, are you genuinely busy somewhere else this week? I want to hear from you.
yeah, I work during the day and finish in the evening. So I'm mostly not here for a good while. When the game started on weds I came back to 7 pages of nonsense rvs and memefeast post that I didn't wish to give a 'read' on those sort of nonsense so I went off to play some M&B:2.

It's a win-win in all account. A dead scum! Web is great and a confirmed town! web who was brought from the dead is even better.
I agree with you that its most useful D2 immediately after the night kill flavor is revealed (or lack of any), but the third party stuff is useful now since we have a third party claim already. The Vampire Hunter stuff is also useful to town, since if that role is present and they don't know that game, they know its not a scumteam guarentee. I'm not happy with giving info to Tric to help his VT claim but that just means we have to figure out if he's telling the truth the old-fashioned way. I'd do it either before end of D1 or at the start of D2, earlier if people seemed to be getting confused.
Persus13
Do you think the information in this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252311#msg8252311) is useful to town right now?
What do you think of webadict's play? I've been trying to figure out why my gut doesn't like it.
Webadict: What exactly is the reason for your scumlean on Toaster? I can't find anything in their posts to suggest they might be scum.Toaster's attacks are fairly broad, shotgun attack to see what sticks, and in general, anyone that really thinks TricMagic is scum (or at least worthy of being eliminated today) is scummy, ESPECIALLY if it's related to the VT claim, which makes even less sense than going after TricMagic for being standard TricMagic. Oh, and on top of that, Toaster suspecting Jim Groovester of all people. That one is insane! Jim has Town equity out the wazoo, and even if Jim is somehow scum, Jim should still be alive at Lylo... Blah, blah, caveat that Jim continues what they're doing, CMA. Call it crazy. Call it what you want, but Jim's seriously throwing punches, and they're hitting well.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, I want your opinion on this.
Sentiment VisualisationsFor my part of that, I don't currently think Tric is lynchably scummy. Even though they're lying about their powers, they're trying to find a breaking strategy, which is what I've usually observed town!Tric doing in past games.
Persus, Lucky was in two short games in a row where he claimed that he had flipped a coin to decide LYLO. He was sort of joking to deflect responsibility, and everyone hated it. If I recall, in both cases he made the right choice, but then in a third game he chose poorly at LYLO.Okay, people going after Luckyowl when they don't see a lot of other options makes way more sense now.
Also, I like the web. I don't think it gives more than a little town equity, but it certainly makes me feel like I'm being presented to.I'm dumb and not following all the web lingo being thrown out here? What do you mean by "town equity"?
Toony, lots of people have voted Luckyowl and unvoted or have said they would vote him. The claim changed minds (whether for good reason or no).Testing the waters.
OK, but since your first reply in this exchange and your last one, there have been two more Lucky votes, and now Lucky is once again the lynch candidate with 4 votes, max 2 on anyone else.Toony, lots of people have voted Luckyowl and unvoted or have said they would vote him. The claim changed minds (whether for good reason or no).Testing the waters.
Idk, Toony. I really am hesitant on calling Lucky scum. Is Lucky playing to their normal meta? No. Is Lucky being scummy? Yes. But their claim and idea is just... very Lucky feeling that I am willing to believe it was created by them. I can do a better analysis tonight, but it won't be until near Day end.I'd prefer a Toaster elim over Lucky as well.
Hm. I am extremely torn on this. I think that Lucky has some scum equity, but I also definitely feel that there are three or four better elims than Lucky. I basically have Lucky as Townlean atm because their plan just feels like something Town!Lucky would come up with.
I'm willing to leave a vote on Luckyowl right now but if we can get a Toasrer or Persus13 elim instead, I'd much rather we did. Also because I feel like have Lucky as the elim leader is better for scumhunting.
Also, I like the web. I don't think it gives more than a little town equity, but it certainly makes me feel like I'm being presented to.
Has anyone actually changed their mind on the Persus/secret slot or did everyone just collectively decide to give that slot time to post and then never went back to it?Persus wasn't expecting to sub this early but they explained this and have contributed more than Lucky.
Toony, lots of people have voted Luckyowl and unvoted or have said they would vote him. The claim changed minds (whether for good reason or no).
Persus, Lucky was in two short games in a row where he claimed that he had flipped a coin to decide LYLO. He was sort of joking to deflect responsibility, and everyone hated it. If I recall, in both cases he made the right choice, but then in a third game he chose poorly at LYLO.
TricMagic, I'm reviewing my reads list now. But first, tell me the name of your role. I asked before and as far as I can tell you ignored the question.

After which LO is either going to need investigation, or lynching.I see someone's thinking a few steps ahead.
Luckyowl, are you genuinely busy somewhere else this week? I want to hear from you.
yeah, I work during the day and finish in the evening. So I'm mostly not here for a good while. When the game started on weds I came back to 7 pages of nonsense rvs and memefeast post that I didn't wish to give a 'read' on those sort of nonsense so I went off to play some M&B:2. Here I am and now it seems I'm up the chopping block. So I'll laid out a proposal. I am the priest and I think we should lynch webadict. Mainly for two reason. If he is scum, then we just outted a pretty terrifying scum player, if he is town then I can rez him at night bringing him back into the game as a more powerful confirmed town. It's a win-win in all account. A dead scum! Web is great and a confirmed town! web who was brought from the dead is even better.
I swear, I still don't know why Toaster is going after Jim Groovester. It's the COMPLETELY wrong move, and Toaster's doubling down on it STILL. It's wrong. I don't think I'm interpreting it wrong, I seriously think Toaster's trying to cast doubt on Jim, but I don't think it'll work because Jim is too Town. I think even worse than the vote on Bluarian (which... like, okay, I can't really fault them for it because I'm the only one that actually thinks Blue might be Town still, so maybe it's not awful) is the FoS on TricMagic. I feel like I'm running in circles with this one because I think Toaster doesn't see a future for TricMagic elim today, but does see Town equity in the Bluarian elim, even if Blue misflips. I'll give points here, if Blue flips scum, I'll chuck Toaster into Townread because it's definitely not a bus. Like, you could bus Blue, but I think in this case, there's too many other viable elim candidates for it to matter.
Hangers-on - Toaster and Juicebox both like each other
Toaster, Jim, I don't think either of you have given a definitive reads list though you have each scattered your impressions. Care to enlighten us?
Since you asked NQT
[snip]
That leaves Secretdorf and LuckyOwl, both of whom have been mostly absent for D1. It's unusual for both of them to have this little presence in the game, and I can see an argument that they're both lurking scum.
unvote as well, now that Secretdorf has been replaced
You can't say you are tying the vote when you yourself are on the chopping block though, that's just trying for survival. As it stands, you have to bear the burden of Secretdorf's actions. LO's revival may not be perfect, but it does allow us to revive you in some form. After which LO is either going to need investigation, or lynching.[/qiote]
I'm very confused what that first part even means. Heck yeah I tied the vote. I told everyone I did when there's 8 hours to go. The vote even got untied within 30 minutes too. I don't trust LO's revive, so I don't really care about that.

I suppose a vote demands a response, but I think to this my best response is to just keep playing and find an angle of "attack with much heft". Unless you have a more specific complaint?
LO's revival may not be perfect, but it does allow us to revive you in some form. After which LO is either going to need investigation, or lynching.
TricMagic is lying. There's exactly one town role in the game that fits their claim, and several scum roles. By not claiming the town role, they are in essence revealing that either they are scum, or that they are lying about not having an action, or worse, that they are a werebear sk baiting us into investigating them so that they get easy kills.
Do you understand that Tric? Tell me the role name.
True, but the main issue of LO's plan as town happpens to be lynching webadict, someone with a lot of content, nd hoping they don't rez as anti-town. Persus is replacing, and doesn't really offer anything to deal with what secretdorf left behind. Toaster at least managed something to peak my interest. Not enough to shift them any, but juice has not posted much. Persus could push for that, but instead LO/Toaster votes with Blue suspicions.I suppose a vote demands a response, but I think to this my best response is to just keep playing and find an angle of "attack with much heft".

Yeah, just consider it a wake-up call, I guess. At least in the present context of "the rezzing plan was a bad idea."LO's revival may not be perfect, but it does allow us to revive you in some form. After which LO is either going to need investigation, or lynching.
OK, you do understand that what you're recommending here is lynching someone and, if they're town, likely turning them into an anti-town role? That "may not be perfect" thing is glossing over a lot.
Also Tric your reads are bad and I'm not voting Persus.Such is your lot. I am fully against a LO lynch, and this revival stuff at least gives a possibility of clearing Persus of secretdorf's sins, assuming it doesn't convert him. Or he replaced into mafia, which I find more likely.
Anyone wanna tell me what the dreamwalker actually does?You get a random Night PM from a player in the game. You don't know which player.

Tric you are an idiot for dropping werebear hint claims in your post. The breadcrumbing is so obvious now that you pointed it out that I need to make this clear for everyone in case only scum see it. That's so stupid as town...So I had earlier dismissed a town Tric genuinely being a werebear, because why would they ask watchers to come see them??

Is someone claiming Dreamwalker?Nah, Vector was asking what they do.
I am very very annoyed at you Toonyman. You know that?Assuming I'm right:
Yep, NQT is scum. How in the world did you get that idea?It's possible. I do still think you're town.
Yep, NQT is scum. How in the world did you get that idea?
TricMagic, oh so you are werebear, why are you baiting town to inspect you???
I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.
PPE:I have no powers, so feel free to come and kill me. Or watch me. Or anything else.Tricmagic seems like a decent place to start.
And so the run of being scummy continues. That is your first thought when I claim to have no powers?
My run specifically. But any tracker in the group could see the truth. How does my one post seem a decent place to start?
Hmm, that so? I really don't have anything I can actively do though. No kills or anything like that. Can't track or investigate or bus or anything. Unless I'm lying to cover up a more powerful role. (Just posting without thinking there. So you know that post wasn't coached at all given the number of experienced players in this game.)
I am a Knight. I have the super special ability of not being Knightkilled. That's it. I was hoping to get targeted by a kill with hyper-agression, but that's not going to happen now..What the fuck? You fake breadcrumbed a role that would make scum not want to target you? AS A KNIGHT??
4 hours, 45 minutes to day end. So this line isn't going to really work for now. Persus13This makes much more sense than werebear. I feel kinda dumb because my first thought when you initially started softing was "knight" because of the way you emphasized "or kill me or whatever" but I dropped that line of thought at some point and I don't know why.
I really don't like you NQT, you REALLY want my role for whatever reason. Well, here it is. Also renders it completely useless, so congrats scum. I'll be hunting you fully tomorrow, or today if votes turn against you.

I agree with this.
LuckyOwl. Given how coordinated all of this looks, I'm gonna assume that this is a scum priest and that we therefore don't want them to rezz anyone, even though with isolated reads I feel more solid on BK being scum. Let's go let's go. Vote is staying here unless something crazy happens.

I checked your posts and the juicebox suspicion doesn't come completely out of left field though I don't follow the development of your suspicions on him. The characterization of juicebox as desperate bothers me, since even if he's low activity he seems unflappable.

Lack of effort. It's not a change of major behavior since my last read on him - he was just the second option, since Lucky's priest claim was still somewhat believed.
It's not wagoning - I read the explanations for why 'wait 4 vote' priest claim was a bad call, and moved to the next person on my scumlist. He hasn't posted anything yet to change my feelings on him, and I think he's a safe lynch.
Conclusions
- I no longer support a Lucky lynch, there's too much mutual hostility for them to be a good team candidate.

Luckyowl, I'd prefer a blue chop but lucky works too, they've got decent equity together.
Honestly, I think BK is scum, but I don't trust LO to rez in town favor regardless of alignment. Which is sad, but I'm worried that leaving LO alive is just going to multiply our problems.Roughly my thoughts as well.
I'm content with either. Although the more I think about it the more I'd prefer lucky first purely from a mechanical standpoint: if blue t/lucky w lynching blue means we end up wasting two days on swatting blue (one on town blue and one on rezzed blue), the only worse scenario is them as t/t which I'm pretty sure isn't in the cards this game. Town priest is also a very mrrr role that I'm not super fussed about losing if we're wrong, both from a town mindset and, selfishly, as a survivor.Luckyowl, I'd prefer a blue chop but lucky works too, they've got decent equity together.
I want Persus13, but I want BluearianKnight over LuckyOwl. I'm not going to be super broken up about a LuckyOwl lynch but I'd be surprised if he flipped scum.
Any takers?

Bit late to pull that gambit blue, how about a case instead?
Werewolf Leader - Kills a random non-werewolf when lynched
I'll change my vote-Huh??
Bluarianknight.
Ahhh, you know there is one role that one wants to be lynched:Werewolf Leader - Kills a random non-werewolf when lynched
So werewolf team need luckywolf to be alive to res someone for the team, so Blue the leader is stepping in to stop LO lynch. Blue dies, kills a randomer, Lucky raises the random to their team? Not great, but better than being one down with Blue possibly soaking an nk N1.This isn't a terrible interpretation but relies on the scumteam being exactly one specific type and Blue having one specific role, along with both of them being wolves.
Edit for clarity:I mean "self-vote then ATE" is a pretty common strategy among newer players, town and wolf. It feels like you're overthinking here.
A werewolf leader and werewolf priest team don't want their priest to die before being able to raise and they don't want their leader to be Hunted or killed by an SK. Blue has good reason to suspect both could happen and they'd defo lose.
Anyway that's the only way this play makes sense, right?
Bit late to pull that gambit blue, how about a case instead?What gambit is that? You self-voted as town last game we played, can you explain this?
Every move I've made has led me to be more scum. I am.. willing to put myself out of the equation.Why is putting yourself out of the equation at all a good move for your team? If you're town, it wastes the lynch. If you're scum, it wastes a scum player.
I'll put my claim down now. Dreamwalker.
I've just made a lot of poor plays. I know why I look scum.Oh, an emotional appeal. Fuck you, do better this time.
Maybe it was my confidence from Vengeful- I've learned a lot from this, and I'll make sure to avoid my previous mistakes.
Sorry for being a bloody mess, town. I'll do better next time, I swear.

I think this world would put the third scum as one of the veterans, because LO would definitely not make that plan, and I'm doubtful of BK.
@Vector:I wanted to see if Lucky would vote Blue like I told them to. I kept quiet because I didn't want to give Lucky the answer until they finally spoke up.Toony: I like your readslist. Can you expand a little on why Toaster's behavior is weird and you don't trust them at all? Do you think Toaster's monster post is bussing BK?I'll have more to say on this after Lucky posts. If they don't post, then well...my vote stays.
@Blue:Toony - Why are you giving luckyowl an out, (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252838#msg8252838) when your scum radar felt otherwise?

Re: NQT vs. TricI think you mean me here and not NQT??
It's a little sad that I can believe Tric doing a weird doublebluff claim play like that. From what I can gauge of emotional states in the spat, both of the two seem to be genuine. Tric seems honest about being a knight, maybe even a town knight when combined with past plays, and NQT is rightfully mad about the misplay. Town points to both, looks v/v to me.

4mask, I'm trying to work out what possible scenario would lead Blue to implode and self vote after almost no provocation. Can he not count? He wasn't going to be lynched. Why throw in the towel? I don't see the town reasoning.I seem to remember someone miscounting the votes on him and panic-using a powerful one-shot as town in a previous game. A played significantly more veteran than Blue is.
But yeah I might be overthinking. I'm just entertaining scenarios here. What do you mean by ATE?
Give me a chance - if by D2 you don't see town, then go ahead and lunch me.
Jim, ah yes, sacrifice to save the converter. That could work. I mean a scum priest is kind of a converter anyway, so he could just be a slave without powers sacrificing for the team?
Blue, wait what, why don't you reveal on death?
Reveals happen on death, yes. However, due to the possible presence of revival magic there is no deadchat.Jim, ah yes, sacrifice to save the converter. That could work. I mean a scum priest is kind of a converter anyway, so he could just be a slave without powers sacrificing for the team?

I assumed it isnt revealed due to the revival powers- do folks get revealed on death? I didn't see it in the rules.
If my memory doesn't fail me blue did set up the dreamwalker claim earlier, he came into the thread to see Vector's question of how dreamwalkers worked and asked if anyone had claimed it.
Doesn't mean anything for his alignment specifically but I'm inclined to believe the claim.

And yes, some players do throw in the town and self-vote, I've seen that before. But, I dunno, it seemed particularly unforced this time.
That aside, what I'm talking about is the way some newer players react in situations like this, when they feel, rightly or not, that their death by the town is inevitable. Some players will, at that point, assume they're done for and essentially concede, regardless of their own alignment, and acknowledge the ways they screwed up that game. Sometimes purely seriously, sometimes as a final gambit to try and evoke sympathy and get out of the wagon, sometimes both.

I have no idea if this is any more cantankerous than a regular mafia game.
The man simply smiles for a bit. Then he gets a concerned look on his face, and his eyes glaze over. Moments later, he falls to the floor. The High Priest, looks down at his lifeless body. "We have found our Dark Magus, my friends! And yet, it seems he was not without allies. I sense that we are still in danger..." his voice trails off.
Persus13 is already inside when you get there, a smirk on his face.
Toony beat me to it re: the magus. I don't think it's a likely role for Blue though if he didn't think there'd be role flips knowing you have a self-res would give someone a bit more breathing space. Still, it doesn't really make sense.self-res is also a dead giveaway.
4mask is trying to say Blue is just a jumpy town player that gave up prematurely (and then was convinced to play on). I'm going to go back and check this Dreamwalker interaction.
Is someone claiming Dreamwalker?I don't think this massively clears Bluarian. Scum can be Dreamwalkers, indeed a different member of the scumteam could even be a Dreamwalker. And there can be multiples of the same town role. Claiming something that doesn't do anything active is also a normal fakeclaim for scum.

If Bluarian is jumpy town, we don't want to lynch him. If he's the leader we probably don't want to lynch him. If he's jumpy scum of some other variant (a third party even) then we do want to lynch.... Hmm

One. I thought the day ended 5 PM EST. My mistake.Relatable: I made the same mistake in BYOR15, thinking the day was ending an hour sooner than it was.
If LO is town, I can firmly suggest a Persus/NQT/IcyTea team. Ignoring all other evidence. And NQT, reluctance doesn't change my opinion of you either. What's the saying, dead air equals dead townie? Persus hasn't absolved Secretdorf's play at all.I'm not sure why you think ignoring all evidence is a good way to make reads but OK. Also you need to learn some elementary logic: dead air dead town means that if it's quiet at the end of day, town die. That doesn't mean the opposite is true, that an active end of day always leads to a scum lynch. That's absurd and patently false.

Can it really be called ruining if I posted first?
Starting to lean town on Toaster as well. His posts have a town quality to them.
Secretdorf's attempt to shift votes onto seem rather desperate to me. Was going to give them the benefit of the doubt since they were asking for a replacement, but I think I'd be comfortable voting them now.

Why is LuckyOwl not a good case for today?(Yeah, I have reasons why, but I want to know what a Juicebox reason looks like.)

I think ToonyMan is the scum team. His playstyle remind me of SecretDorf in terminator. He tries to act like he's trying to help me out, but really he is trying to get me lynch. I already told you I worked today. Yet you ask me where Am I?
I don't believe you're playing in town's interests for once.
Gonna vote Blue? Or Juice? Or me? Or someone else?
is all the vote piling onto me? well, there goes town rez. A damn shame really.Alright, Lucky, you've entered hostage negotiation territory. What are your demands?
Right, but you're going after ToonyMan who is legitimately one of the Towniest players in the game. You're not voting for anyone you believe is scum. You're literally doing nothing beneficial for Town, so how can you justify your stance?I don't believe you're playing in town's interests for once.
Gonna vote Blue? Or Juice? Or me? Or someone else?
Why even vote Blue? wouldn't that just make me look scummy? look. Even I am going to lynch then just hammer me. I already role claimed and you'll see that I'll flip town.

There aren't hammers in effect right now. Also I really am not going to trust a roleflip from you right now with a line like that.
... Hua.. That line also makes me want to vote you, which tells me that you don't actually care about being lynched. 21 minutes left in the day.

Is it? Hmm, I suppose I could add in the numeric count in the front as well, like you have with mamobo.
@Tric:
Why Juice over Lucky?

Lucky this is you:"I won't vote Blue because then people will think I'm scummy and lynch me, so instead I'll let them lynch me."
Make it make sense.
I am going after him, because things are aligning for me. Why go after JB who look scummy? but is probably town? why go after paranoid Tric who is most likely town? Sure, there is scummy players who acts scummy. But good scum player try to act as town. ToonyMan is giving off that FBI agent vibe real hard right now.I actually believe you are one of the few players that can make that justification. However, even if you think ToonyMan is scum, a ToonyMan elimination is not gonna happen. You'll need more evidence than your gut feeling on that one. So, who else is scummy?
... classic luckyowl.. Except updated with some new factor.Okay, I just gotta let out my frustration at this point. Is this some new mafia meme I've missed where people say one thing and then immediately contradict themselves, and then act like they said anything?
Ugh, not my finest hour. It was interesting being able to talk while confirmed scum.Maybe the Dark Magus doesn't flip the first time? I'll have to check.Their rolename flips at least. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139118.msg5488594#msg5488594)
Dark Magus doesn't start with any allies, but they do have a one-shot convert.
Eh, I use a script to generate it based off my vote spreadsheet. Might as well make it easier on people. Uh...woops, hit modify instead of reply. Sorry! I sometimes forget that I can do that to other people's posts.LoL Meph.

Not that I know of, and call me out if you catch me doing it.
fine, BlularianKnight. They have the same townie act from Vengeful mafia 14 and gave that sorry plead to not vote him.OK I went and had a look:
Wow, I come back to Tric pulling roll shenanigans and Blu imploding. I think this sets a record for most D1 claims in a Supernatural?This is an aside, but I don't like this modern meta of a ton of people claiming Day 1, by the way.
I could buy a Blue LO scumteam, but if it was anyone else I think they'd have talked him out of it before he voted himself. My vote stays on Toaster for now, I want to see Blu's claim tomorrow though.Weird way to phrase that. Are you sure Blue will be lynched? Are you sure Blue will be res'd?
This is just Tric being Tric I think.No, I noticed it a couple times earlier from other people. I think it was Secretdorf with the "probably town or probably not town" read. Anyway, not important.
@Luckyowl:!!!
If you're alive tonight, you know what you should do.
Blu claimed Dreamwalker and at least when I posted Lucky was still going to be lynched. So presumably he'll get a Dream if he's alive tonight. He seems like he's going to be lynched now, so that probably won't happen now.I could buy a Blue LO scumteam, but if it was anyone else I think they'd have talked him out of it before he voted himself.

Fair enough, I haven't had to scumhunt Secret this game.This is just Tric being Tric I think.No, I noticed it a couple times earlier from other people. I think it was Secretdorf with the "probably town or probably not town" read. Anyway, not important.
Web, Mamobo doesn't know about Persus and hasn't tallied their newer votes.Oh shoot, you're right. I never programmed in replacements, and I can't do that in 40 minutes, but good catch. I can run something for that.
I think you answered your question.@Luckyowl:!!!
If you're alive tonight, you know what you should do.
If Luckyowl truly has a revive and is town, their only available move is to revive the lynchee or not to act. The lynchee has to be town for revival to be a sensible move. What do you know about this situation that I don't?
Okay...voting Toaster probably isn't going to make a difference, think you can push a lynch on Toaster? What about players with more votes?Blu claimed Dreamwalker and at least when I posted Lucky was still going to be lynched. So presumably he'll get a Dream if he's alive tonight. He seems like he's going to be lynched now, so that probably won't happen now.I could buy a Blue LO scumteam, but if it was anyone else I think they'd have talked him out of it before he voted himself.

Does that work better for you on mobile, Web?
I think you answered your question.What purpose does the "you know what you should do" serve? Town!Lucky certainly wouldn't revive a mafioso even without your comment, and scum!Lucky would have no reason to listen to town!you.
Lucky's choices:
1. If mafia, probably want to res no matter what.
2. If town, decide whether to res on N1 (mafia is a no-go, town...it's up to them, isn't it?).
I don't like this Blue lynch.I was literally just about to propose a juicebox elimination. Tell me that juicebox is Town based on their posts. It takes 2 minutes to read them.
Toaster, Juicebox, Luckyowl scum? I'm willing to slot Juice there above NQT.
Vector, Web, and Jim...I don't know.
You're not looking at it right. I'm telling Lucky it's up to him whether they choose to res or not tonight, do you get it?I think you answered your question.What purpose does the "you know what you should do" serve?

30 minutes to go... so Juicebox!Urrrghh......I really want to lynch Lucky......
You're not looking at it right. I'm telling Lucky it's up to him whether they choose to res or not tonight, do you get it?No, I don't get it.
Look at it this way Toony: if we lynch a scum player, a scum!Lucky can't res him without dooming them both. Juice is a great pick for it.The issue is that if juice is town and then gets revived, we know neither their nor Lucky's alignment.
Cool. Glad I'm telling Lucky and not you.You're not looking at it right. I'm telling Lucky it's up to him whether they choose to res or not tonight, do you get it?No, I don't get it.
PFPTwo Dreamwalkers? I don't believe that.
I'm just gonna go ahead and claim now. I'm a town dreamwalker, specifically I can see a random player's night role PM.
The main reason I misread was due to me skimming the thread due to the fact that I only really skimmed the thread, since I only had a few minutes until my shift started and there was quite a lot for me to go through.
Blue's claim did happen to catch my eye though for obvious reasons
I'm just gonna go ahead and claim now. I'm a town dreamwalker, specifically I can see a random player's night role PM.Hmmm...
NQT why did you redirect the bandwagon twice? Normally you only like to have it move once?
Two Dreamwalkers? I don't believe that.
I think 4mask's claim is a bit more dubious however, especially when you consider the possibility of a 4mask Toaster scumteam.
I say 4mask and Toaster together because of this:I don't believe there's ever been a Jester no.If it's helpful, my role is wererat.
There have been survivors though. Toaster got ressed as one after dying, I believe you had an ability too no?I got ressed into Lone Vampire; I had a block that killed if I used it two nights in a row on the same target. 3 and 5 started with a Wererat; a survivor with no abilities. PPE yes, that one.
It just feels little bit too convenient to me how this happened.
4mask is lock Third Party for me ofc
It's completely possible.PFPTwo Dreamwalkers? I don't believe that.

Also can we get a mamobo votecount?ToonyMan post is wrong, but yes.
CFD meaning? /and I've been a bit sus of NQT for a while. We can always go back to the original lynch of Secretdorf/Persus. But juice is way too chill.Can we CFD onto notquitethere please?
NQT why did you redirect the bandwagon twice? Normally you only like to have it move once?First I was conflicted about Lucky and saw it was close enough to switch things over to Blu, who I was more ambivalent about especially after their weird towel throw. But I always wanted Juice to go down, so I thought I'd see if there could be a push for it. And strangely enough there was.

I hate this stupid goddamn shit. It makes every player claim before Night 1 even starts.Yeah, but it's telling that juice didn't participate much in EoD before they were under the gun. It's jumpy to claim a passive role before there's no actions to claim.
Vector 72.5% Town: Vector gets to stand in the Townlean parts, but only because I know if they're up here, scum is more likely to NK them.
Luckyowl 65% Town: Luckyowl is a weird case. I think it's possible that they're scum, and if they are, we're likely going to find out tomorrow with the revive.Wait, you'd trust a revived townie?

I hate that I'm okay with all three of these wagons. That's not how D1 ends with a competent scumteam.
I hate cults.
Meph: If a Town Priest that is Pious (or whatever the term for "would res normally" is converted in the night to another team, what would happen to the res target?
Oh good, potential toofer.
Meph: In the above circumstance, if they were an IMpious priest, would they convert to their team or unleash a third party as in past games?
I hate cults.
I hate cults.A conversion is very possible last night. This kind of situation happened in Supernatural 7.
Oh. Great. Never mind what I just said.Oh good, potential toofer.If it goes wrong, it can go wrong in many different ways. But never as intended for the team the priest is on.
Meph: In the above circumstance, if they were an IMpious priest, would they convert to their team or unleash a third party as in past games?
Vector, I feel like you've been active-lurking. Your posts during the end of Day 1 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253264#msg8253264) leave me with a bad taste.I hate cults.Are you still town?
Yes. Started town, still town.
You?
Interesting that as far as I can see, Juicebox has never attended to my attacks against his character. Aside from being relentlessly defended by Jim, what does he have going for him?
Jim felt pretty lazy during EoD.
I feel like I haven't said much about juicebox so I don't see how anything I've said in his favor could be viewed as relentless.Maybe "relentless" was too strong, but you did defend him three times so I wasn't imagining that:
Since we either don't have a monster hunter or they seem to be holstering, I'm pretty sure we always flip LuckyOwl today. Especially with the threat of a potential double-conversion, we need to flip him to check blue's alignment.I'm cool with this if nobody is going to claim any kills.

You seem so quick to vote me out. 4maskwolf. Blu is has been rez he will speak soon. However I do have some troubling news to speak of. Before I went to Blu's grave I was visited by a voice who tried to convince me to give them my soul exchange for power. They even tried to say it will make me look town...I obvisouly decline the offer as I'm a preist and my role is to fix day 1 fuck ups.
Devils can only offer certain oneshots I believe but they can say whatever they want to the player. I can't confirm if it's outing or not.Okay I just read the devil PM in supernatural 9 and while I'm not sure which of the abilities they would have offered to Lucky it still tells us something. The devil is probably someone who thought Lucky was a wolf by EoD yesterday (though they could have said that to throw people off) because of the way they phrased their offer.
Blue, how was last night? Are you still a Dreamwalker?I'm pretty sure Lucky revived me - the flavor-text I got didn't state directly.
BluarianKnight: Are you still town?
No. I'm now a survivor role, Lone Vampire.

I don't think Lucky was scum during revival - but I'm not sure how scum-revivals work when you fuck it up.
My vote's on juicebox. I'd like to see his dreamwalker claim go through - I think it's bullshit.
Since we either don't have a monster hunter or they seem to be holstering, I'm pretty sure we always flip LuckyOwl today. Especially with the threat of a potential double-conversion, we need to flip him to check blue's alignment.Utterly ignores the survivor.

Juicebox is a decent lynch. Lurking is anti-town, not following through on promises is anti-town. And as a dreamer they would have to see another's dream. Let's see what it is.
Wait, converts are before resurrections so it has to be a convert that let's them keep their ability.Which tells us that if there's a vampire cult they didn't convert lucky last night. Looks like charismatic cults and dark magus you keep your abilities.
We know Lucky Owl isn't the converter... it's absolutely not a priority to kill him today. That Toony of all people hasn't grasped that is a tick in the Toony Was Converted box.The concern is that Lucky became a de-facto converter due to being converted during his resurrection.
We know Lucky Owl isn't the converter... it's absolutely not a priority to kill him today. That Toony of all people hasn't grasped that is a tick in the Toony Was Converted box.Are you saying this is a Vampire Cult then? I thought vampire slaves didn't keep their roles.
Also it looks like I was mistaken, vampires are full cults that allow people to keep their role, so it looks like all cult types allow people to keep their role?
Are you saying this is a Vampire Cult then? I thought vampire slaves didn't keep their roles.It was my mistake too. I thought because of the wording of the vampire lord power that he would literally create vampire slaves, but looking at the actual night actions, the converted vampire players still keep their roles.
Tiruin - You are a Charismatic Cultist, and the one who drew the others into your confidence. You who dusted off the ancient tomes, and spoke the forgotten truths of your faith. Once during the game you may choose to attempt to convert the target rather than sacrifice them. Note that you must be the one to approach them for this to work. With the ancient power behind you, there are few who could possibly resist such an offer.
NQT could just be setting up to vote you off despite your towny-ness.We know Lucky Owl isn't the converter... it's absolutely not a priority to kill him today.

And anyway, not to mention the big reveal of there apparently being a devil in town. Either
- There is a devil and we now have 3 third parties, a 3-person scum team with a new convert i.e. 7/13 players in the game
- As above, but scum team is dark magus: 5/13 players in the game, or two-person team: 6/13.
- Lucky is lying, is on the scum team, and is just seeding chaos.
- 4mask is the devil and so 4-6 non-town player.
I'll have to take a look at the old setups to see what would be normal numbers here...
NQT could just be setting up to vote you off despite your towny-ness.I think there's at least a 25% chance Toony was converted, yes. Do you deny that possibility?
Persus still hasn't really given anything useful, and he was the last replacement. Is anyone thinking on pushing him, or going for the luckyowl policy lynch? It's impossible to actually decipher things as town when the ones you can really push either don't give anything or disappear. I am half tempted to just come back on day 3 given day 2 is likely to be a repeat of day 1 but with a luckyowl lynch on the table.LuckyOwl isn't a policy lynch, it's a very pragmatic one: flipping him town gives us a guaranteed (or at least I assume it's guaranteed, I don't think I've ever seen a town priest revive someone as mafia) not-mafia player in Blue and flipping him wolf tells us what wolf team we're up against and gives us another probable non-town (and likely scum) in blue again. It gives us a ton of information and in the worst case scenario it's also basically necessary for the town to have a chance of winning.

Perhaps, but you still haven't really provided anything. It makes lynching them frustrating when they switch like that. The new person will be playing, and the old data must be ignored. Headache-inducing for me.

You seem to think there are three of them and you. Interact with more people. Also its amusing to be told by you that I've done nothing when as far as I can tell you've done nothing except confuse people and you've done absolutely nothing as I recall to interact with me.
Also you don't by any stretch have to throw out what the previous player in that slot did, it's absolutely valid (if slightly annoying to be on the receiving end of) to have part of your read on a slot based on its previous holder.All of this.
It very much sounds like you're just pissed an easy ML on a lurker might slip through your fingers.
Considering that the last time I heard someone complaining like that it was a wolf bitching about it in deadchat.
2. NotQuiteThere, who do you think the original converter was?If I had to shoot a converter right now, I'd pick Toaster. He's in the suspicious pool and has no claims. Killing the converter specifically is not as pressing if there's a charismatic cult. Shooting Lucky would be a step towards finding out, but I'd rather hit someone we don't know anything about to maximise chance of hitting scum. Who do you favour for today?
If there was a conversion, the conversion probably happened in this pool. Everyone else is much more lynchable. That all said, we actually want to lynch the converter as a priority. Let's assume the converter is someone moderately suspected from outside this pool:
Toaster - Unknown
IcyTea31 - Unknown
--
juicebox - claimed dreamwalker, let's see if they follow through on a dream
Persus13/Secretdorf - highly unlikely due to lynch composition
notquitethere - not me
TricMagic - mess of fakeclaims but probably not the converter because of it
BluarianKnight - confirmed dreamwalker
Luckyowl - confirmed priest (though I suppose there could be another priest in the scum team that he's claiming over)
4maskwolf - third party
We'll all be kicking ourselves if Toaster is evil in this game again. Why shouldn't we eliminate you, Toast?
TBH if I was the devil I'd claim, it's a pretty annoying role to try and win with, is only marginally different from a survivor in terms of "should it die", and needs to townside here anyway in case there's a conversion gimmick going on because they need to keep the game going.
Luckyowl
Juice wagon saw pushback from Vector and and Toony. Thanks for the CFD.
But yeah, we need to find the converter*. Let's quickly review who it can and can't be:I agree with your list (although I wouldn't be surprised if Tric thought it would be funny to claim VT as a Cult Leader). I think a converter would most likely be one of the following:
stuffI also don't believe Meph would use full cults again. This is almost certainly a one-shot conversion or the kill didn't go off for some reason.
I did a bit of classic Unique Targets analysis. I'm not posting the full results until at least D3 (4mask tried to game this metric in a previous game + you guys don't probably read it when I post stuff like this) but what I will say is:Wow scummy. Holding information hostage to stay alive.
Wow scummy. Holding information hostage to stay alive.Not at all.
@MOD:
Can a town priest's res fail so hard they bring back a townie as mafia? Can a mafia priest's res fail so hard they bring back a townie as town?
ToonyI disagree. I just recently saw you pull this card on Day 3 of MVM2. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=177886.msg8241874#msg8241874)Wow scummy. Holding information hostage to stay alive.Not at all.
1. It's information in the vote record anyone can see.
2. No one else believes in this stuff but me, so who am I holding it hostage from?
3. The information is more useful to me if scum don't know to tailor their actions to what they think I'm looking for. 4mask can confirm this last point, as he's done exactly that before. I want to be able to perform the same analysis on D2, so I'm not sharing what exactly I'm looking for/what I'm including or discluding until another day has passed.

NQT and 4mask, I'm a bit worried you all are trying too much to outguess Meph here. I do agree that there are possibilities outside of full-blown Vampire Cult.You're talking to two of the most mechanically and pattern-oriented mafia players on Bay12. Of course we're going to read through previous games and try and read into them. And honestly... we're probably right, all things considered. I'll eat my hat if there's a vampire cult or more than two starting third parties in this game.
Toaster - for the memesIf Toaster didn't start as a wolf I don't think he was converted last night, along with NQT he was on the list of "veterans getting heat" on D1 which makes him an undesirable conversion, very old memes (that only veterans with enough sense not to convert him would really remember) aside.
but honestly, the only people who have been playing Today are... and 4maskwolf, the guy who isn't even Town.-dabs-

Meph still believes in balance. If there's a 3-man team alive right now, we're basically all screwed. I'm like 90% sure someone was converted last Night, and the other 10% is me being generous. Which means I'm with NQT and 4maskwolf on this one.NQT and 4mask, I'm a bit worried you all are trying too much to outguess Meph here.

Of course now that we've brought up these things Meph might screw with them in the future just to mess with us, but still.
@NQT: Something like the single-target analysis was what I was waiting for. Unvote.Well, not exactly, but kinda. My thought process is that if someone wanted to convert a Towncore player, you would be on the list at the bottom, which could inevitably put you at the top, but... In a way to not overcomplicate my explanation, I think you being the most suspicious of the top four is too far down, but also not far enough down? You're not Town enough to be Towncore, and also, I figured if I wasn't converted, obviously you're not gonna be converted. I mean, I was third, and everyone knows third is the best.
Web: I'm guessing I'm a bad conversion target because I was heavily sussed yesterday?
I am present, and again I am town. I won't be saying much since I hate day 1 and would only make myself look scummy eventhough I am town. If anything I will be useful for townies during the night phase. If scum kills me then at least you'll see I'll flip and my night action will still go through either way.
You wound me Web.I unfortunately cannot argue against that logic because I'm wont to agree with you, and it's also why I disagree that Vector is the optimal pick. I'm literally the right person to convert and I wasn't converted, and if you skip me and go to Vector, I feel it's just... I dunno. Like, you just never aim for fourth. If you're doing that, you leave all four Townreads unconverted and go for NQT and play the long con while baiting them into arguing with each other about which one's converted.
I would be more surprised I wasn't converted except for the fact that, you know...there's Lucky the Priest around.
If Lucky wasn't converted (so either scum all along or somehow town) then maybe I'm too obvious a pick? I think me and Jim would have been the most obvious, which makes us a reason to avoid (unless Jim is actually scum). To that extent that makes me suspect you, Web, the most as a "smart" convert pick.
If you'd like to argue you're too obvious of a pick, I also can't argue against that one either. Which is why we pretty much just need to soft reset our reads list. I'm worried that you didn't soft reset and pushed me higher, which is totally wrong. I mean, if you want to argue I was Town D1, fine, but D1's gone. We're in D2, and we need reads that reflect it. You're gonna have to judge me by Today's standards first and then you should use Yesterday's to reinforce it or show changes.To be fair, my updated reads were written during Night 1. I'll be reevaluating through the course of Day 2.
I've eaten my hat because web put 5 SKs and no scumteam in a game before. After that, I've been pretty cautious.NQT and 4mask, I'm a bit worried you all are trying too much to outguess Meph here.

Well
Persus13
Lucky has apparently decided that silence is the best option so I'll talk to you instead. I have been... less than impressed with your play thus far this game, and more specifically today. Mind giving me three people you're suspicious of, three people you think are town, and why?
I forgot to ask some questions earlier that 4mask reminded me of while reading, let's fix that.
@MOD:
Can third-party be converted?
Is every town role convertable? If not, which ones fail and what is the outcome?
Jim Groovester, we've heard from Toony. How's life?
Vector
Jim Groovester
IcyTea31
webadict
Persus13
notquitethere
ToonyMan
Jim Groovester:What's your top three scum picks right now? You haven't posted any substantive thoughts D2.Aaannd Ninjad. That's actually good, because I really wanted to know if you kept your vote on Persus. It wasn't made with much reasoning that I saw D1, and it's back here again. This actually knocks Persus down my converter suspect list a fair bit, because you are my top choice for likely convert. If you're converted, it's probably not Persus. Thanks!
I would like you to restate your case on Persus, though, for clarity.
I'm not buggin' ya for "lurking," my dude. I know you have work. I just want to make sure you don't take the opportunity to lurky-lurk later on like in BYOR 15 cuz no one is paying attention to you.
I'd like to see someone above the gap hang, and I'd start with Vector. Vector, do you think there was a conversion last night? If so, who did it? Who'd they pick?
I'm not lurking!
@Luckyowl: Not only are you a pragmatic elimination target, but I think your play has been very anti-town. Now that you've done your sneaky Priest res what now? Why do you think scum would ignore a town priest if you're telling the truth? Who are you going to vote?
Well, that pretty much cross me off as a possible suspect. Since I brought Blu back from the dead. Sadly, it seems not as townie. From my understanding from meph explanation on how my one shot ability works. Is that I don't know if I'm pure or not. Which has nothing to do with my alignment. Also another tidbit. I ask Meph if my ability will trigger if I'm night killed and he gave more than what I asked and said that my night action is low on the pirority list so If I'm interuppted my night action won't go through. So if I were converted then Blu wouldn't be here.I think someone else said up-thread that conversion is even lower in priority and so happens after resurrection. You're quite right that no one thinks you're the converter. People are just wondering if:
"if Lucky flip town, then blu is town.."If you flip town, then people thought we could believe Blu's claim of being resurrected as a vampire. Unfortunately, Blu could also have been raised onto the scum team whether you're town or not.
Juice said they would be away for work during the day end. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253337#msg8253337) Fair enough, Toaster had a similar excuse (after voting Blue).Good catch, did make a note of that myself.
The difference is that Toaster never posted the rest of Day 1.
As soon as a Juicebox bandwagon formed (started by NQT), Juicebox is suddenly here and claiming. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253436#msg8253436)
Now why is that? My guess is that Juice has actually been following the thread the entire end of Day 1, but chose to lurk in the shadows while waiting for day end. That is extremely anti-town.
So we have a Devil who thought Lucky would be foolish enough to accept a soul deal...That would put the devil as someone who's played with Lucky before, because I can definitely see that logic. Scum!Lucky would probably accept, but also would lie about refusing, so it's not massively useful.
Overall, the least suspected players yesterday, in order, were:Why can't the converter be in that pool as well as the convertee?
Very not lynchable
1. Jim
2. Toony
Not Lynchable
3. Web
4. Vector
Everyone else...
If there was a conversion, the conversion probably happened in this pool. Everyone else is much more lynchable. That all said, we actually want to lynch the converter as a priority. Let's assume the converter is someone moderately suspected from outside this pool:
ICT, you jumped off the juicewagon on D1 which indirectly led to Blu's death. Was "pushback from Vector and Toony" all the info you wanted to collect? Why not follow through on Juice?My vote on juice's primary purpose was to collect data on reactions to the CFD, yes. I was fine with any of BK, juice or Lucky being lynched, Lucky was simply my preference. That has changed, though.
I'd love to hear what IcyTea's thoughts on the end of D1 and D2 so far because you seemed to be pretty out of it after parking your vote on LuckyOwl. I'm used to you having more/longer posts and being more of a day game leader, but a lot of your posts are reactionary or don't have followup and are pretty short.
IcyTea was all for lynching either Luckyowl or BluarianKnight (http://all for lynching either Luckyowl or BluarianKnight), but then voted juicebox (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253431#msg8253431). He backs into Luckyowl (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253449#msg8253449) again, noting "pushback from Vector and and Toony." He doesn't take this analysis anywhere. Why, IcyTea? What do you make of this now?I was multitasking, and was frustrated with how I'd get ninja'd ten times before I could get a longer post out, so I switched out my style for more agility, counting on the posts being analyzed during the night so I'd need to be less explicit. But since you asked:
The ideal convertee would be someone who is a little bit unpredictable (but not too unpredictable), has a similar town and scum game, and is/was universally considered locktown. Someone with a lot of cred.
And if it was me, I'd be playing D1 with two people in mind [webadict, Jim Groovester].
I'm guessing the converter is one of ICT, [Toaster], and NQT. My guess for converted would be ... hm.Why would you not convert Toony yourself?
I don't think it's Web, Persus, or juicebox. I'm still leaning one of [Toaster], ICT, Jim, Toony. 4mask would also be a good choice.
1. Why can't the converter be in that pool as well as the convertee?1. They absolutely can be, I just think it more likely that scum would not be the least suspected players. You have to make assumptions and go with the best working theory in this game otherwise you'd never make any decisions.
2. Why the passive voice: "least suspected players" and not "players I least suspect"?
My vote on juice's primary purpose was to collect data on reactions to the CFD, yes. I was fine with any of BK, juice or Lucky being lynched, Lucky was simply my preference. That has changed, though.OK, so what conclusions can you draw from this "data"?
They absolutely can be, I just think it more likely that scum would not be the least suspected players.The issue is, least suspected also means least pushed:
As you can see by Blu, being highly "suspected" doesn't mean a player is definitely scum, it just means a lot of people want them out of the game.I'd argue this is true in the opposite sense as well, as several of the veterans barely pushed against each other in direct interaction, and only looked at them from the side: they're not least suspected because they've concluded they're town, but because pushing against a veteran takes a lot of effort and damages towncred on both sides, so they're being saved for later Days.
OK, so what conclusions can you draw from this "data"?See the same post, under "Persus13, Toaster, general thoughts".
drfo okay with nqtThis is strange to me. You pushed hard that Luckyowl flipping scum would confirm NQT as such as well, and in your posts on this day, you've shown trust in NQT's analyses. For someone you mention so often, I'd expect a stronger opinion than "okay to lynch", one way or the other.

See the same post, under "Persus13, Toaster, general thoughts".Thanks, I must have skimmed over. I agree with your assessments overall, do you think Juice could be the devil?
Lucky not being scum doesn't make NQT not scum, only the contrapositve. I can like graphs and stuff, doesn't make them town though. Luckyowl can't lie on their own so they need someone that can. That's just easy rwading materi. I forgot what the point is budt don't think Lucky is scum, and nqt is gonna make me eat infographs for breakdastdrfo okay with nqtThis is strange to me.

do you think Juice could be the devil?Possibly. I think it's likely that it's someone active and closely familiar with Luckyowl's psychology. Offering "help to looking like town" is a less impactful offer than I'd expect from an experienced player, however. This profile could fit juice, minus the activity, but someone like Toaster or TricMagic would be a closer fit.
Which third-party can be converted?I forgot to ask some questions earlier that 4mask reminded me of while reading, let's fix that.Some of them. It depends on the role and sometimes who's doing the converting.
@MOD:
Can third-party be converted?
Is every town role convertable? If not, which ones fail and what is the outcome?
Most are. Sorcerers are immune to night actions and Monster Hunters either die to a conversion or are immune (depending on who's doing the conversion).
Toony: Why do you think Lucky is not a terrible lynch?Because he's scum. I'm more convinced he's been scum all along to be honest. I want to trust Web's read but I can't.
I ask Meph if my ability will trigger if I'm night killed and he gave more than what I asked and said that my night action is low on the pirority list so If I'm interuppted my night action won't go through. So if I were converted then Blu wouldn't be here.Where? In scumchat?
Lucky, what exactly did the Devil offer you?
No, conversions and kills happen right before disturbing the dead. Look at the action order in the OP.Well, that pretty much cross me off as a possible suspect. Since I brought Blu back from the dead. Sadly, it seems not as townie. From my understanding from meph explanation on how my one shot ability works. Is that I don't know if I'm pure or not. Which has nothing to do with my alignment. Also another tidbit.

So if I were converted then Blu wouldn't be here.I think someone else said up-thread that conversion is even lower in priority and so happens after resurrection. You're quite right that no one thinks you're the converter. People are just wondering if:
And I note Lucky ignored this question:Lucky, what exactly did the Devil offer you?
Lucky, care to answer?
Lucky's defense relies on an incredibly tortured interpretation of the facts, if you can even call it that. Meph already more or less stated that if Lucky was converted last night his revive would still have gone through and Blue would have been revived with Lucky doing the revival as a scum priest. Thus, the potential two-for-one people are talking about. So no, the fact that there was likely a conversion last night does not by any stretch of the imagination clear him, although if we are looking at a conversion team it would, imo, clear him from being on the team at start of game for balance reasons.When you say conversion team do you mean a full cult or a one-shot? I could see a two person scumteam having a priest and a one-shot, especially if its an impious one.
The thing is, only an idiot devil would say "You will give me you soul in exchange for this gift", right? They're under no obligation to mention that part of the deal.The problem with this argument is the flavor for the devil each time its shown up (Supernatural 1 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59269.msg1403507#msg1403507), Supernatural 4 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89665.msg2644008#msg2644008), Supernatural 9 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=167537.msg7592912#msg7592912)) contradicts this. Its pretty explicit about the whole give up your soul thing.
Since you're here, were you on the way to the graveyard or coming back from it? And you haven't answered Toony's question.And I note Lucky ignored this question:Lucky, what exactly did the Devil offer you?
Lucky, care to answer?
The devil offer night kill, misdirections, and protect.
Being lynched or voted is a powerful motivator for people to post, regardless of alignment, and Juicebox said it was a PFP. What makes you think this is alignment indicative more than just checking the thread on a break and firing off something?I'd love to hear what IcyTea's thoughts on the end of D1 and D2 so far because you seemed to be pretty out of it after parking your vote on LuckyOwl. I'm used to you having more/longer posts and being more of a day game leader, but a lot of your posts are reactionary or don't have followup and are pretty short.IcyTea was all for lynching either Luckyowl or BluarianKnight (http://all for lynching either Luckyowl or BluarianKnight), but then voted juicebox (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253431#msg8253431). He backs into Luckyowl (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253449#msg8253449) again, noting "pushback from Vector and and Toony." He doesn't take this analysis anywhere. Why, IcyTea? What do you make of this now?I was multitasking, and was frustrated with how I'd get ninja'd ten times before I could get a longer post out, so I switched out my style for more agility, counting on the posts being analyzed during the night so I'd need to be less explicit. But since you asked:
-Notquitethere led the EoD actively and competently. Pretty much past my accusation of trying to distract with mechanics.
-webadict was pretty passive, but I'm the pot on that.
-juicebox materializing from the aether to post after being CFD'd looks a lot like being spooked while intentionally lurking.
-Toony and Vector didn't join the CFD, which weakly links them with juicebox. Vector was pretty happy to relax as well.
-CFD didn't spook anyone into changing their vote to protect juicebox, which would have been telling.
-From what I can figure of the night so far, a Luckyowl lynch is no longer as informative as it would have been D1.

1. His posts have been sparse and delayed. He hasn't pushed any cases, he's only popped in to say he's town and to defend himself.
2. Someone else on his team could be the priest, meaning Lucky is still a possible converter (being completely puppeteered by his partners but still).
3. He has voted three times:
First on Day 1 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252919#msg8252919) to lynch a player he suspected as strong town so he can bring them back as confirmed?? (sure he says Web could be mafia, but Web isn't in their three mafia picks (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252924#msg8252924))
Second on Day 1 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8253395#msg8253395) to save himself from getting lynched over Blue.
First on Day 2 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254162#msg8254162) as an OMGUS against 4maskwolf.
Complete shit votes that are either a terrible plan or to protect himself. Has not scum-hunted at all, which brings me to my next point.
4. He has actively participated less than Juicebox and Secretdorf and they're not even playing.
5. Claims a Devil visited them on Night 1 (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254162#msg8254162) and they declined the offer. Lucky doesn't even fully read threads he's in as town, there's no way he would read other games. This smart-tell from Lucky makes me believe his scummates are assisting heavily.
Why wouldn't Lucky, a complete newb, accept a Devil deal?
"I just used up my priest revive, having another ability would surely help town."
The whole thing is fishy.
@TricMagic: Why did you claim Knight on Day 1? You realize that would only help scum?
4mask:One-shot. I will stake quite a bit on us not looking at a full conversion team, for reasons already stated. I'll get back to your response to me later, I'm at work, I just hopped on to say something to Toony. Your theory isn't bad per se but I'm playing under the assumption that we won't see an out-of-the-blue wolf team setup like that. Let's reduce that from "conversion team means Lucky started town" to "conversion team means Lucky >rand started town".Lucky's defense relies on an incredibly tortured interpretation of the facts, if you can even call it that. Meph already more or less stated that if Lucky was converted last night his revive would still have gone through and Blue would have been revived with Lucky doing the revival as a scum priest. Thus, the potential two-for-one people are talking about. So no, the fact that there was likely a conversion last night does not by any stretch of the imagination clear him, although if we are looking at a conversion team it would, imo, clear him from being on the team at start of game for balance reasons.When you say conversion team do you mean a full cult or a one-shot? I could see a two person scumteam having a priest and a one-shot, especially if its an impious one.
@4maskwolf:You can't have your cake and eat it too, Toonyman. You can't one minute ask why Lucky played mechanically proper because he could never do that and the next say demand to know why he didn't make an optimal play. You can't demand to know why someone didn't take an action based on a mechanical strategy devised after they already took said action, especially when you've already stated that there's no way they could take a mechanically optimal approach without assistance. And your implied take that Lucky wouldn't accept the devil offer because he's a wolf under that strategy shows a lack of thought behind your push because five seconds of thought on it would realize that a wolf would always take the first deal as well under that strategy, because it denies the town the extra ability and the town doesn't know they're a wolf and will refuse any more deals. It also allows them to slip in under the town's radar to get an ability for the wolf team.
That's true. I also retract my statement that the Devil should claim, it's better for town if they stay quiet about who they are.
I think only having one townie accepting a deal is good, but I don't see how we can make sure of that. Plus scum would have to risk taking significant loses if every remaining town player refuses deals after the first player accepts.
@Luckyowl:
According to 4mask optimal play would have been to accept the first Devil deal as a townie, why selfishly hold onto your life when we could get rid of two scum after via Devil?
Had I stayed silent I would have been lynched, and at that point being revived wouldn't really help any, I'd be roleflipped.It's not my fault you breadcrumbed the complete opposite kind of fakeclaim to the thing you actually claim to have! If you saw a werebear serial killer try to encourage people to visit him at night, wouldn't you say something?
@4mask:That doesn't really explain why one moment you were pressing him because "you made what I consider the best play and I don't believe you're a good enough player to do that" and the next minute you're pressing him because "why didn't you make what a highly mechanical player considers to be an optimal play". Those things are straight up contradictory, Lucky can't both be too incompetent to make a theoretically optimal play and so competent that he should have considered making a different theoretically optimal play before it was even brought up. It seems like you're just grasping at anything to attack Luckyowl regardless of whether your case has any internal consistency.
I see your first point and agree with it. If Lucky is scum he would definitely take the deal. I'm not sure what optimal play is which is why I used your name.
As for your second point, I don't see what's different. I've hated Lucky most of this game. If I see something I don't like I say something, doesn't matter who.
@MOD:
Which third-party can be converted?

A conversion wouldn't stop a priest from performing their resurrection the same night, correct?

Being lynched or voted is a powerful motivator for people to post, regardless of alignment, and Juicebox said it was a PFP. What makes you think this is alignment indicative more than just checking the thread on a break and firing off something?That juicebox was not a part of the conversation until the CFD, and jumped in eleven minutes after NQT's call for it. That's reading the thread, but choosing not to participate in it unless absolutely necessary, i.e. lurking.
I stayed on Toaster pretty much all of day end, does that weakly link me to anyone?Hardly, because you're another who barely posted in those last couple of hours.
This wagon formation always catches a wolf.EBWOP, because I remembered what the proper phrase was.
Well
Persus13
Lucky has apparently decided that silence is the best option so I'll talk to you instead. I have been... less than impressed with your play thus far this game, and more specifically today. Mind giving me three people you're suspicious of, three people you think are town, and why?
There's a big list of half the town who could be the converter and I'm trying to narrow it down. I'm suspicious of IcyTea and Toaster for passive play and being reactionary. Webadict made a comment D1 about Toaster throwing out questions to look active but without much follow up and that captured really well why I'm suspicious of both of them. I'm having trouble getting a good read on Vector, so I'll say they're my third, but Jim and Lucky/Blu could easily be here too.
NQT and webadict feel pretty solidly town, mainly based on my gut and their solid play. I don't really buy Toony's case on NQT, and think its largely based on null tells. I'm finding Tric super disruptive, and am not a big fan of his play, but I don't think he'd make three different claims as scum, so he'd be my third town pick. Otherwise, I'm not really getting the suspicions everyone's throwing at Juice, but he (or his replacement) needs to claim something tangible for me to solidly pick him as town.
Okay, I get it. My current guess is that Luckyowl is overly competent in decision making. I'll retract my question (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254602#msg8254602) here.@4mask:That doesn't really explain why one moment you were pressing him because "you made what I consider the best play and I don't believe you're a good enough player to do that" and the next minute you're pressing him because "why didn't you make what a highly mechanical player considers to be an optimal play".

So we can't keep third-party converts off the table.@MOD:You don't know. (This is a hidden set-up for Scum and 3rd parties, after all)
Which third-party can be converted?
Lucky is a confirmed liar. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254520#msg8254520)@MOD:Correct. A kill could stop it, but not a conversion.
A conversion wouldn't stop a priest from performing their resurrection the same night, correct?
I ask Meph if my ability will trigger if I'm night killed and he gave more than what I asked and said that my night action is low on the pirority list so If I'm interuppted my night action won't go through. So if I were converted then Blu wouldn't be here.Did you really ask this Lucky? Why isn't it actually true?
I don't think my 2 point is very strong, but yes you're right. We don't know what scum can do, but a res did happen at least and nobody else is counter claiming.2. Someone else on his team could be the priest, meaning Lucky is still a possible converter (being completely puppeteered by his partners but still).Why is the exact role-per-player composition of the scumteam important, especially when we don't know what else they might have?

ToonyMan, there's merit in your case on Luckyowl, but he's almost certainly not the converter, so why are you focusing on him?There's a lot we don't know and are assuming. I'm just going to scumhunt. I think it's likely there's a converter but only one-shot. I will vote someone else if I find them scummier.
-sigh-I agree with this.
... This isn't really better than secretdorf's list. Try harder.The pot calls the kettle.
... This isn't really better than secretdorf's list. Try harder.4maskwolf has the right to tell me to try harder. You don't. At this point I'm convinced if there's a Devil in this game, you're it because you seem to only care about three people in it and you not dying.
People have lives outside of mafia. You yourself are using that to explain why you've barely posted, same as Jim, but you're attacking someone else for doing the same.Being lynched or voted is a powerful motivator for people to post, regardless of alignment, and Juicebox said it was a PFP.

And I note Lucky ignored this question:Lucky, what exactly did the Devil offer you?
Lucky, care to answer?
The devil offer night kill, misdirections, and protect.

You yourself are using that to explain why you've barely posted, same as Jim, but you're attacking someone else for doing the same.I wouldn't have blinked if juicebox provided no response to the CFD, but they were present enough to jump and draft a claim minutes after its start.

Right, trying harder. I did bring a read list for day 1.You would know if somebody tried to kill you, Tric.
shakes head
Right now I have a few theories. ToonyMan hasn't really been giving townenergy today, so them being converted makes sense. On the other side is LO not actually reading as town to me now, particularly that one post I quoted. And being caught in a lie is kinda bad. NQT still reads negatively to me. So that really leaves Juicebox and Persus as the other two suspects.
So, the setup is one Converter, two Mafia, 1 Devil, 1 Survivor, 9 Town. Would that be a potential setup for this game? Or rather.. Wouldn't 4mask end up being the devil? That brings it to 10 town, 1 cult leader, a Devil, and 2 mafia. The kill failing could be them getting redirected. Granted, if Luckyowl is town that could mean the devil targeted me while Mafia targeted Lucky, so the two targets got reversed. Which is why there would be no kill last night.
Of course, we could also have 2 Mafia with one of them having a Convert, so we have a 3 person team now Either way it's a theory that I think holds some merit.

Why are you sure that we have a conventional scumteam?
That's a very different circumstance. There's no expectations going into a Wuba BYOR except "Web will try and balance it as best he can". No roles are known in advance, no scumteam composition, no nothing. There's not much point thinking too deeply about the mechanics because nothing can be said for certain.I've eaten my hat because web put 5 SKs and no scumteam in a game before. After that, I've been pretty cautious.NQT and 4mask, I'm a bit worried you all are trying too much to outguess Meph here. I do agree that there are possibilities outside of full-blown Vampire Cult.You're talking to two of the most mechanically and pattern-oriented mafia players on Bay12. Of course we're going to read through previous games and try and read into them. And honestly... we're probably right, all things considered. I'll eat my hat if there's a vampire cult or more than two starting third parties in this game.
Of course now that we've brought up these things Meph might screw with them in the future just to mess with us, but still.
Did I say don't read into previous games? No, I said don't try and outguess Meph. Meph's told us that there aren't any new roles, so looking at old games is fine, I've been doing plenty of that too, but going "Meph wouldn't do this" is a good way of shooting yourself in the foot.
I'd like to hear some more thoughts about Jim Groovester, if you wouldn't mind. What's got him in your "could be wolf" pile this game?Well
Persus13

I'd expect the newer people to go for someone who "looks strong" or their buddies (i.e. I think Tric might have converted LuckyOwl and that 4mask might have converted ICT or NQT).-angry dog noises-
VectorThe ideal convertee would be someone who is a little bit unpredictable (but not too unpredictable), has a similar town and scum game, and is/was universally considered locktown. Someone with a lot of cred.
And if it was me, I'd be playing D1 with two people in mind [webadict, Jim Groovester].I'm guessing the converter is one of ICT, [Toaster], and NQT. My guess for converted would be ... hm.Why would you not convert Toony yourself?
I don't think it's Web, Persus, or juicebox. I'm still leaning one of [Toaster], ICT, Jim, Toony. 4mask would also be a good choice.
Why don't you think web is converted?
Why are you going for convertee before converter?
I mostly agree with who you expressly rule out of converter and convertee.
General thoughts
I don't entirely understand the cases on Toaster right now. It looks to be a process-of-elimination type case from most people on it, but that doesn't make sense, when several veterans had put each other in the "read later" pile. I think it's too early for a PoE. If I had to build a case on Toaster, I'd start with the aloof attitude rather than maths, and even that's something Toaster has had in past games as town, or perhaps assuming that a veteran would convert Toaster as a joke. I don't really have any specific complaints about their play, myself.
Jim's game so far has been to go after me since I joined the game over Secretdorf, which is annoying, but I'm used to Jim going after me. Eventually he switched to Blu, didn't get involved in the CFD at all (I think he was busy?) and rode it out to lynch Blu by day end. While he's been vocal about LuckyOwl being scummy, he's also never actually voted them over it, and he also contributed to saving them from being lynched by choosing Blu over Lucky. So his game so far has been to vote to lynch one player who flipped town, helping save another player who he thought seemed scummy from the lynch in the process, and go after me, while it doesn't feel like he's actually doing a lot to get me lynched. That has a bit of saving an ally and pushing a case to appear active energy to it.I'd like to hear some more thoughts about Jim Groovester, if you wouldn't mind.

@NQT:
How does activity for players compare to this time on Day 1?
@Conversions:
I probably would have converted me to. :(
I guess it's worth humoring, if I was a converter I would have hit Toaster > Jim > Web I think. It might be worth asking everybody to say their top conversion pick if they were a converter.
@4mask:
I still trust your survivor claim. While it's possible for third-party to be converted I see someone who is actively searching for scum in a day where most players aren't.

Re: Conversion Picks: I mean, when I was the Dark Magus I converted Toaster. I might do that again, but I'd probably go after webadict after D1 personally. Also is there a point to this? Where I'm standing this feels pretty WIFOMy.Individually it's WIFOMy, yes. I'd say getting a sense of the thread's consensus on who optimal conversion targets are might be useful if we're facing a dark magus team, though less useful against charismatic cult (and pointless if it was just that a kill got blocked).

I felt a genuine helpfulness coming from Jim this game D1 that I didn't feel in BYOR 15 from wolf Jim (who largely sat there and old-man'd it up in thread) and actual attempts at solving. Don't have a good read on him D2 yet though, because lolconversions.
Now, the main reason I'm not reading more into this yet is A. this requires Lucky to be his buddy. Toony's case on Lucky has some solid points that's making me consider it, but I'm not entirely convinced that his case of Lucky lying wasn't just a misunderstanding/miscommunication. B. Jim's not been super active, so that may explain why he's effectively had two votes this game. But still, its bothering me, especially now that Tea is showing up and playing D2 and gave some decent responses to my questions and stuck to their guns when I pressured them.
I ended up missing that post. Why wouldn't I make a theory? And is there really a difference between mafia and wolves other than flavoring and role abilities?So, "because you don't know" is the answer.
Actually, why would this question even matter but for trying to lynch me 4maskwolf. I really am an easy target, a knight who can't be nightkilled and is likely to extend the game if lynched. Very Survivor. (Even if you do win by surviving, if you never aim at scum you won't die.)This is intensely stupid considering it's not even my question, I'm just repeating Vector's (though admittedly I had the same question as well). The answer to "why does it matter" is that you might have TMId knowing the nature of the scumteam by your comment, since you seemed very sure we were not looking at a Dark Magus.

As much as people are saying this is D1 all over again, we do have info to work of off. We know Blu was 100% town D1, so we can look at D1 through those lenses now. No night kill and a convert doesn't change their being a scumteam D1.
Just an idle thought. Problem solving third parties is something scum does too, although I'll agree that its not super relevant here.There was a third party in BYOR 15, IIRC it got ganked on N1 though long before it could actually fulfill its win condition.

As much as people are saying this is D1 all over again, we do have info to work of off. We know Blu was 100% town D1, so we can look at D1 through those lenses now. No night kill and a convert doesn't change their being a scumteam D1.
And I note Lucky ignored this question:Lucky, what exactly did the Devil offer you?
Lucky, care to answer?
The devil offer night kill, misdirections, and protect.
facepalms. Yeah, that isn't Luckyowl, that's someone else puppeteering the owl. Why wouldn't you take the protect? I'd love a Protect skill since it makes me a bulletproof doctor.
ToonyMan: Fine, you want to think I'm scum because I'm a compulsive liar. Sure. go ahead. luckyowl let's see if I'm lying.Oh god not another one.
I am like *this close* to just voting LO and getting this nonsense over with. *this close*I'm probably going to go there at the end of the day because I'm of the opinion that it's the mechanically correct wagon for town, I'm sort of ambivalent on his actual alignment.
I actually don't think LO is scum, though. Looks like a cracked townie to me.
ToonyMan: Fine, you want to think I'm scum because I'm a compulsive liar. Sure. go ahead. luckyowl let's see if I'm lying.
Individually it's WIFOMy, yes. I'd say getting a sense of the thread's consensus on who optimal conversion targets are might be useful if we're facing a dark magus team, though less useful against charismatic cult (and pointless if it was just that a kill got blocked).@MOD:
CAAAAAAAAAAAZ!This. Now. Please.
Hi.
What was you dreamwalker result last night?
Yes, this happened to me in Supernatural 6 when I was a Knight and got targeted by the Hunter. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131512.msg4781985#msg4781985)Individually it's WIFOMy, yes.

Will a player be notified if somebody tried to kill them?
For example, if somebody tried to kill a Knight and failed or somebody that was being protected was targeted for a kill and it failed.
Is a player notified if they are redirected?
Hi I'm a juicebox.-squints-
Gonna read this thread more closely before I make some real posting. One thing I will say though is that I don't have any dream to report, it was just random and unremarkable dreams last night.
Hm, so we're dealing with a converter? Well, that pretty much cross me off as a possible suspect. Since I brought Blu back from the dead. Sadly, it seems not as townie. From my understanding from meph explanation on how my one shot ability works. Is that I don't know if I'm pure or not. Which has nothing to do with my alignment. Also another tidbit. I ask Meph if my ability will trigger if I'm night killed and he gave more than what I asked and said that my night action is low on the pirority list so If I'm interuppted my night action won't go through. So if I were converted then Blu wouldn't be here.
Meph: If a Town Priest that is Pious (or whatever the term for "would res normally" is converted in the night to another team, what would happen to the res target?
Resurrections happen after Conversions, so they would act like a normal priest for that faction.
I can't..you know if I flip town and these ridículos claims are left here for people to see. It'll only make you look bad. There's better targets than me,Like NQT. Why, oh why would I create an eleborate or my "puppeteer" would create an convulted plan to lie about me rezzing? The fact you are thinking like this ironically makes me think you're town misguided.
So we have a Devil who thought Lucky would be foolish enough to accept a soul deal...That would put the devil as someone who's played with Lucky before, because I can definitely see that logic. Scum!Lucky would probably accept, but also would lie about refusing, so it's not massively useful.
Toony: Why do you think Lucky is not a terrible lynch?Because he's scum. I'm more convinced he's been scum all along to be honest. I want to trust Web's read but I can't.
Lucky feels...heavily filtered.
[snipped good case]
The whole thing is fishy.
I guess it's worth humoring, if I was a converter I would have hit Toaster > Jim > Web I think. It might be worth asking everybody to say their top conversion pick if they were a converter.
Toony that's actually a pretty compelling case on Lucky. Especially the TMI aspect with the devil. The thing is, only an idiot devil would say "You will give me you soul in exchange for this gift", right? They're under no obligation to mention that part of the deal.
Who the converter is does not matter, at least not more than finding any other wolf.
PPE:
Tricmagic outright refusing to answer Vector's question is interesting in italics.
Tricmagic, what makes you so sure we have a conventional scumteam.
facepalms. Yeah, that isn't Luckyowl, that's someone else puppeteering the owl. Why wouldn't you take the protect? I'd love a Protect skill since it makes me a bulletproof doctor.
Hi I'm a juicebox.Darn, I forgot that could happen. This is the result that happens Meph rolls a person without a night action in previous games.
Gonna read this thread more closely before I make some real posting. One thing I will say though is that I don't have any dream to report, it was just random and unremarkable dreams last night.
4mask:Except that this would make the vampire lord a fundamentally different role than the role previously played, which is against what Meph said at the beginning of the game (that there would be no new roles). So either we have a classic vampire cult with a proper vampire lord, which I find hilariously unlikely for meta reasons, or we don't have a vampire cult at all.Who the converter is does not matter, at least not more than finding any other wolf.
You'll forgive me if I don't share your conviction.
They are a role that has existed and has happened, so it is something that can happen again. All Meph has to do is handle the case of converting the roles too strong to be in cult hands (IE anything that gives them a kill and maybe priest) and that's boom job done, throw in that Vampire Lord. I will grant that I find a starter scum team of [Vampire Lord + Priest] to be extremely unlikely, however.
NQT: I'd actually like to ask you to detail your single-target analysis a little more. I love reading your stuff! The high point of every game.
OR the setup is constructed in such a way that nothing terribly broken happens. An impious priest would fit that description.Except that there’s an instant-lose condition to not lynching Lucky tonight too. If a charismatic cult got to lucky (which is MUCH greater odds than a vampire cult) we’re looking at 7 v 5 v 1 (counting the devil as townsiding) which is literally D2 MYLO since I always wolfside tomorrow on a mislynch in that scenario.
My thinking is that a Vampire Lord is such a red alert all hands on deck situation that D2 needs to steer in the direction that such a thing happens. If there's a scum-looking kill tonight, feel free to point and laugh at me, then we can all lynch Lucky. Until that happens, though, I'm assuming the worst.
Gonna read this thread more closely before I make some real posting. One thing I will say though is that I don't have any dream to report, it was just random and unremarkable dreams last night....Great.
I will add that I'm rereading Supernatural 6 because of Toony's question and there's a lot of similarities to that game and this one. The town Dreamwalker got lynched D1, no one died N1, and the dreamwalker got resurrected. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131512.msg4731464#msg4731464)Hah, wow if I squint it looks like the same Day 2 start.

So... can't we check LO's alignment by lynching BluarianKnight again? :DWe can't check Lucky's alignment that way. It goes both way between them.
TricMagic:facepalms. Yeah, that isn't Luckyowl, that's someone else puppeteering the owl. Why wouldn't you take the protect? I'd love a Protect skill since it makes me a bulletproof doctor.
A one-shot protect? You really think that makes it so good?

(also, still reading through day 2 now, you guys talked a lot. I must be less up to date than I thought bc I didn't see Bluarian claim lone vampire.)
I'm actually impressed that over half the town posted within the last hour.
Pretty sure we banned night-PM flavor solving after the fuckery that was Paranormal 26.So... can't we check LO's alignment by lynching BluarianKnight again? :D

TricMagic. Reason: lying repeatedly and wasting everyone's fucking time.
facepalms Town as in the collective group of players, not the alignment.I'm actually impressed that over half the town posted within the last hour.
But the only way you could know they are town is.... :o
facepalms Town as in the collective group of players, not the alignment.
To the equivalent of no action. Given flavor-solving is apparently banned for whatever reason, I just wrote a diary entry on my thoughts. (I was wondering if a dreamwalker would see it.)Flavor solving is permitted for some things, like determining which specific scum team you're up against by the dead body flavor. Confirming your actions as true based on the personal night action flavor you received, a la Para 26 and the dog, really shouldn't be legal, and I'm pretty sure that was the majority opinion postgame there.
Caz's role can't be confirmed, which is the issue with multiple Dreamwalkers. Of note is that Juice was part of the lynch on Blue, is there any role that allows you to steal the abilities of others?
I doubt the answer will be yes though. Also, its entirely possible that he didn't get your dreams Tric and someone else is a Witch or a Knight, or some other role that doesn't have/didn't take night actions.I don't take actions!
Meph: If a player asked for night flavor, would a dreamwalker be able to see that flavor?
Okay, I get it. My current guess is that Luckyowl is overly competent in decision making. I'll retract my question (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254602#msg8254602) here.QuoteWhy wouldn't the scumteam accept the same deal?I think they would, my guess is that Lucky is lying about declining.
My thinking is that a Vampire Lord is such a red alert all hands on deck situation that D2 needs to steer in the direction that such a thing happens.
Web ISN'T annoying, which strikes me as uncharacteristic.I resent that take.
@Webadict: If I had to throw down right now, I would say I'm like 73% sure that NQT is the converter. I'm happy to provide reasoning in a bit, but. Yeah. Very strong feelings that it's NQT.I'm not gonna say you're wrong because NQT has built up a lot of scum equity Today. Scum? For sure. Converter? I'm less sure of that one. But, we don't necessarily have to for sure hit the converter Today. We can just hit scum and work with that. I consider hitting the converter as a bonus prize at this point.
I'm also feeling Icy as the devil.
Persus13 is worried about guessing the scumteam, but that seems... really odd because Mephansteras said all roles are regifts, so a scumteam that matches one of the games is the most likely outcome. Like, I know I put 5 SKs in once, but that's definitely less of a Mephansteras thing.This I take issue with. I didn't say don't guess the scumteam, I said don't try and assume what Meph's thinking. There's a difference. The first relies on past information to make predictions, the other is making assumptions about what an individual is thinking at this moment in time. The first is reliable, the second is not.

NQT and 4mask, I'm a bit worried you all are trying too much to outguess Meph here. I do agree that there are possibilities outside of full-blown Vampire Cult. If someone did block someone last night for instance, they should probably do so again to verify.
And if Blu's actually a Lone Vampire, he can start blocking people as well.
Supernatural 1 Werewolf Leader
Supernatural 2 Cult Sexton
Supernatural 3 N/A (two player team)
Supernatural 4 N/A (two player team)
Supernatural 5 Werewolf Knight
Supernatural 6 Charismatic Cultist and Cult Knight
Supernatural 7 N/A (one player team)
Supernatural 8 Cult Leader
Supernatural 9 N/A (two player team)
I made an assertion yesterday that in the standard-style 3-person scumteams Meph always puts a "designated killer" role to carry the NK.
Utterly irrelevant atm but I'm bored and its interesting to know that my observation is accurate.
I don't really see what else you might've been referring to. Could you elaborate?
Couple things, Toaster.I've seen games lost solely based on "I don't think the mod would do this". Rereading the context I can see where you're coming from but I WOULD NEVER say don't analyze past games and you should know better than that given that's been what I've been doing for this entire game.
One: two of the cult-types (charismatic cult and dark magus) are one-shot converts, therefore finding the converter is essentially a moot point at this point (at least as far as stopping conversions go). The third, vampires, which are a true cult and thus a worthwhile converter to find... This is probably a little angly, but I don't think we're looking at one just from a "evolving Bay12 meta" perspective. Full cults are really obnoxious to play into; full cults that keep the roles of people they convert are absolutely brutal. And, largely, over the years full cults have fallen out of favor and have been replaced by one-shot conversions for games that want to keep a bit of a cult flavor or give the wolves a little extra power. I'm pretty sure that a full cult hasn't been seen in supernatural since Supernatural 4 for a reason, and that Meph's experiments with the charismatic cult and dark magus were in part ways to try and work around the fundamental issues of a proper cult.
Personally, I'd argue that it's more likely the kill got blocked in some way last night than that we have an old-school vampire cult on our hands.
Two: Tricmagic has claimed knight, though whether you believe that claim or still think he's a softing werebear is up to you. Regardless, knight is a not-terrible fakeclaim for a converter because it discourages SK kills and doesn't have any difficult fake claims to keep up and I'd argue he belongs one level lower on the "who's the converter" scale.
@ToonyMan: If Luckyowl is scum, then there definitely wasn't a conversion last Night unless you think Meph gave a two-man scumteam a conversion and a rez, which is a two person swing. That's on top of the two other third parties in the game. Is that what you're proposing? Because I think that's pretty unbalanced if it is.Fair point...I am willing to vote not Lucky if they play the game. This would at least show to me they aren't staying quiet for scum's benefit. A town player shouldn't be afraid of posting.
(Also, while I am not getting enough sleep, I would prefer you just assume I am and don't cut me slack for it.)If it's any reconciliation I suspect you over Jim as a convert.
Webadict:The thing is, I can't justify clearing them as scum because I'm pretty convinced one of them is a convert. The issue is determining which one because I wasn't converted. I also know that Vector would very likely have converted me, and I do not believe that Vector was converted. That's also using the obvious list, which isn't necessarily correct, but it's a good lead at the moment since we can always reread them.
Very convinced throughout D1 that Jim and Toony are town. I'd love to see Web address that view of Has Always Been Town Jim/Toony, and not Potential Convert Jim/Toony, which he addressed here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254365#msg8254365). And sure, yeah, my Top Picks For Convert would be Jim/Toony/Web/Vector shooting from the hip; that's a fairly obvious list to make. But what about reassessing them as cult leader? Would like to see this from Web.
Web, what about TricMagic? Do you still think they're town? I still think you gave me too much grief for holding a vote on him (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252522#msg8252522) until he stopped ignoring my question to him (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252309#msg8252309).
I can accept both of these. I think that it's not incorrect to suspect Luckyowl, but I do think it's incorrect that Luckyowl is scum. Luckyowl certainly needs to contribute or we're gonna be stuck in coinflip mode again.@ToonyMan: If Luckyowl is scum, then there definitely wasn't a conversion last Night unless you think Meph gave a two-man scumteam a conversion and a rez, which is a two person swing.

Okay, but if that's your take on it, then the safe measure is to eliminate the highest threat level, which is either the Cult Leader, no?I don't really see what else you might've been referring to. Could you elaborate?

Haven't seen anything particularly suspicious with Vector, the main thing is this bizarre TricMagic vote (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254763#msg8254763). I feel like their vote cases have all been policy lynches. Feel pretty confident they've been scum since D1. This means the D1 scumteam would at least include Vector. That's what I'm feeling.
I'm certain its not NQT
Your votes on Lucky and TricMagic were policy lynches.Haven't seen anything particularly suspicious with Vector, the main thing is this bizarre TricMagic vote (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254763#msg8254763). I feel like their vote cases have all been policy lynches. Feel pretty confident they've been scum since D1. This means the D1 scumteam would at least include Vector. That's what I'm feeling.So ... voting Jim Groovester (D2), Toaster (D1), Webadict (D1), ICT (D1) and NQT (D1 and D2, current vote), are all policy lynches? *nod nod*, *strokes invisible beard*
Yeah, OK. LOL. Says the mantoonyingtunneling LuckyOwl.
The Scribe's Tally Sheet
BluarianKnight: 5: Jim Groovester, juicebox, Luckyowl, Toaster, Vector
juicebox: 3: 4maskwolf, notquitethere, webadict
Luckyowl: 3: BluarianKnight, IcyTea31, ToonyMan
Toaster: 1: Persus13
Regarding the Tric point, I thought that Tric was claiming a third role with an actual action now, as opposed to flavor-actioning. You know, from Werebear to Knight to WTF. And I lost my temper. Oops.Fair enough, I believe this.
So... can't we check LO's alignment by lynching BluarianKnight again? :D
My thinking is that a Vampire Lord is such a red alert all hands on deck situation that D2 needs to steer in the direction that such a thing happens.
Why encourage town to panic? It's the easy way to turn off the smart part of your brain. Only scum would want this.
I'm Vector the Converter, and last night, I decided to convert ... Lucky. Lucky, the player with a spent one-shot resurrect.
There is exactly one vote in that tally sheet on someone who could not, at EoD, have been described as a policy lynch: Toaster.
...which Meph confirmed would have counted as Converter Cult Res.
ToonyMan: Fine, you want to think I'm scum because I'm a compulsive liar. Sure. go ahead. luckyowl let's see if I'm lying.
Actually, why would this question even matter but for trying to lynch me 4maskwolf. I really am an easy target, a knight who can't be nightkilled and is likely to extend the game if lynched. Very Survivor. (Even if you do win by surviving, if you never aim at scum you won't die.)
Actually, after rereading Jim Groovestar's posts this game, I'm going to vote him for now. Jim, what was your case on Blu again?
Just an idle thought. Problem solving third parties is something scum does too, although I'll agree that its not super relevant here.
Bleh, I miss the old Lurkertracker.
General thoughts
I don't entirely understand the cases on Toaster right now. It looks to be a process-of-elimination type case from most people on it, but that doesn't make sense, when several veterans had put each other in the "read later" pile. I think it's too early for a PoE. If I had to build a case on Toaster, I'd start with the aloof attitude rather than maths, and even that's something Toaster has had in past games as town, or perhaps assuming that a veteran would convert Toaster as a joke. I don't really have any specific complaints about their play, myself.
do you think Juice could be the devil?Possibly. I think it's likely that it's someone active and closely familiar with Luckyowl's psychology. Offering "help to looking like town" is a less impactful offer than I'd expect from an experienced player, however. This profile could fit juice, minus the activity, but someone like Toaster or TricMagic would be a closer fit.
I don't think hunting the devil is a high priority right now, though.
People see indications there might be a cult and freak out like "OMG must find converter" to the point where it blinds them to everything else. If there is a cult, they are one-shot and used it last night. The converter can no convert no more people. That's that, nothing more.
ToonyMan, there's merit in your case on Luckyowl, but he's almost certainly not the converter, so why are you focusing on him?There's a lot we don't know and are assuming. I'm just going to scumhunt. I think it's likely there's a converter but only one-shot. I will vote someone else if I find them scummier.
My thinking is that a Vampire Lord is such a red alert all hands on deck situation that D2 needs to steer in the direction that such a thing happens. If there's a scum-looking kill tonight, feel free to point and laugh at me, then we can all lynch Lucky. Until that happens, though, I'm assuming the worst.

Vector the Converter.
Gonna post this but dig a little more since I don't want to go to bed tonight without my vote somewhere.
I'd like to see their take on Luckyowl, and if they're really worth voting.Luckyowl was worth pushing, but now that I've seen their reaction, no longer the most valuable lynch target. You're not wrong that I've been playing carefully.
Finding the Devil now isn't a main concern here, but if I had to guess, this points significantly towards ToonyMan. Which would clear them from being scum. I think. However, ToonyMan denies this, so what the heck do I know?Nah, I believe it. "Will make you look town" doesn't sound like Toony's voice to me:
They even tried to say it will make me look town...
I still think Luckyowl is bad D2 lynch. He's a great N2 Monster Hunter target, but I don't think we have that luxury.Probably, since I'd have done that N1.
I don't think many people have put together cases on Toaster, so whose cases were you thinking of when you said this?These:
My gut feeling is that Toaster and Juicebox are scum with a third being between...Lucky/Vector/Persus.
We'll all be kicking ourselves if Toaster is evil in this game again. Why shouldn't we eliminate you, Toast?
If I had to shoot a converter right now, I'd pick Toaster.
Out of these six I suspect Vector, Persus, and Toaster the most.
So, I'd like to propose a Toaster elimination.
I'm suspicious of IcyTea and Toaster for passive play and being reactionary.
You point this out but let it go. I doubt I'm following the exchange properly, but what do you make of NQT bringing up devil candidates given your commentary that it's not high priority?I think NQT believes figuring out the devil will help narrow down people's roles and alignments, which could point to either alignment. As webadict pointed out here, the mechanical focus can be suspicious:
But, they're pulling the same mechanical angle that 4maskwolf is pulling, and my guess is that they're aiming for a fullclaim from everyone.However, NQT is known for mechanical focus even as town, and the specific situation you asked about is too plausibly deniable to really push: town!NQT and scum!NQT would have given the same response.
Really don't like Vector's attitude in the series of posts starting from this one:In fact, I'll do this: Vector.
They didn't have this much sarcasm for anyone but webadict before this.
Your reads have zero evidence.
@NQT:I didn't want to painstakingly count every post to the same equivalent time (which, given people's different schedules might not have been so useful anyway) but I did take a look at the first lurkertracker result (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8252944#msg8252944) which came at a similar time, about a day and a half into D1:
How does activity for players compare to this time on Day 1?
NQT: I'd actually like to ask you to detail your single-target analysis a little more. I love reading your stuff! The high point of every game.That's kind of you to say. It's the same kind of analysis I have done in previous games. I see who tries to get who lynched, discounting certain votes. I will give the full method on D3, like I said, to stop it being gamed, but these were the results from D1:
notquitethere - needs more graphs. a town nqt would have flowcharts. a town nqt would care. probably Devil.Buddy, I have done four different numerical analyses (sentiment analysis, aggregate suspicion, unique post count, thread engagement count) and I've analysed possible scum team compositions based on prior games. I don't see how this read makes any sense whatsoever.
I believe my biases are showing in that I will always think their elimination is helpful.Tricking you so completely in two previous games is really coming back to bite me now.
If their goal is to find the Cult Leader, they've suddenly changed their tune. It feels absolutely like their mechanically nailing down the Town PRs and threat assessing. They've even shifted away from their juicebox FoS.I became convinced that we're not facing a vampire cult so hunting the converter doesn't have the same priority. And I shifted off focusing on Juice because Juice wasn't playing! Now I'm back.
I can't think of Town!NQT acting like how they're acting Today.I honestly don't think I've ever been as town!NQT as I have in this game, but I understand that your track record for telling the difference hasn't been great.
here's how D2 currently stands:Spoiler: D2 Unique Targets So Far (click to show/hide)
and actually absent most of the day Juice->Caz.
Caznotquitethere - needs more graphs. a town nqt would have flowcharts. a town nqt would care. probably Devil.Buddy, I have done four different numerical analyses (sentiment analysis, aggregate suspicion, unique post count, thread engagement count) and I've analysed possible scum team compositions based on prior games. I don't see how this read makes any sense whatsoever.
Vector - Vector is town. Nice paranoid spread of votes on D1. Lot's of good push on D2.
ToonyMan - Toony is town. A bit tunnelly to fully put me at ease, but highly engaged in the thread.
TricMagic - Tric is town. Being touchy and fancy playing are all highly consistent with being town.
Persus13/Secretdorf - Persus is town. I'd be lying if I said I was fully happy with Persus/SD's play (especially their wasted voted end of day 1). But the push on them on D1, and their D2 play makes me more confident.
IcyTea31 - Perfectly average play, no great waves. One to keep an eye on. Could go either way. I like their most recent posts more than I like their posts on D1. On balance probably town.
Toaster - Toaster, along with ICT, is just good enough not to be in the lynch pool but not good enough for me to actually know by their actions that they're on my side. These would be prime slots for investigation. On balance, maybe scum but not the priority lynch.
Jim Groovester - Low number of suspects and low post count; curiously the least suspected player on D1, which might actually indicate having scum partners; defended Juice x3 times on D1 which might mean something if Juice flips scum. Basically, on very thin ice and pending informative flips to give more context.
BluarianKnight - Either a third party who could block and kill town players, or scum. A shame because they were a good player on D1 prior to conversion.
Luckyowl - The most suspected player in the game, we will never rest easily until this slot is cleared. Appears to be coached.
caz - Juice was highly scummy on D1, with no cases. Their D2 reads are mostly backwards (Vector at the bottom? Jim at the top!). I still want to eliminate this slot.
SCUM
I almost got a Juice lynch on D1. On reflection, I still want one today. Yes, this looks much the same as D1 at the bottom here: Lucky and Juice accumulated so much suspicion that we really can't go into LYLO with either of them. Caz's lack of a dream is not helping them here. Today I would support a Caz, Lucky, or Jim lynch. Blu would be OK to lynch as they're definitely not town, but they're definitely not the OG scumteam and it's possible their block could do some good in the night, assuming we have a kill team, they could block the killer.
Wow, a mystical method that declares yourself as the most townie player. How surprising.It's not mystical, it's a long standing part of my scumhunting approach, and if you look at the D1 numbers, it had Vector as most town.
I realise I could have been clearer in presenting this. I only mean to say that Juice wasn't here at all on D2 until you turned up to replace him in the slot. Your activity has been fine since arriving.and actually absent most of the day Juice->Caz.Excuse me? Why lie about this?
Tbh, you and Icytea rub me in the wrong way this game as basically posting endless data and wall of texts that end up nowhere closer to finding scum. Are you trying to bore town to death? I think it's working.You can find it boring, that's your perogative, but I literally just posted a big reads list based on my earlier analysis. We'll see if it gets me any closer to finding scum when you flip, right?
You mean they look town. Why so confident on saying what they are, unless you know? Btw, all these players are easily good at 'looking town', especially in this long day1 that offers no real pressure.I'm very confident in my town reads because they're backed by all the analysis I did before which is most good at finding town players.
Which one of these would you prefer to lynch? If you had to choose between them. I think your day1 grievances against Icy seem manufactured, as well as your lack of suspicion for Bluarian day 1. Not enough to stop them from being lynched, mind. Just enough to grow some town cred instead?How was it manufactured? And what kind of bizarro world argument is this about Blu-- do good town players always and only want to lynch town players?
I mean, 4mask is literally the least suspected player, but you seem to love them? Why so different read with the same justifications?4mask being 3rd party complicates that + 4mask on D1 was not the least suspected player, people even voted him. I collated the reads, Jim really was the least suspected. But anyway, that's not what makes him scum, that's just an interesting fact that might or might not be relevant, I don't know yet: what makes him scum is his slinking.
Mechanical lynch (no dream, omg!) is lazy. Lucky lynch is lazy. Jim lynch is lol. You look really bad after this post to me.How is lynching from the pool of people I find most suspicious lazy?? It's just good play! I don't want to get rid of you because of the lack of the dream, though it doesn't help, it's because Juice was most scum on D1 and your play today hasn't give me sufficient reason to change my mind. Please prove me wrong though!
NQT, Icytea, Jim, and Toaster. (early day) I can't trust any of you guys. To the point I wouldn't be suprised if we had a 1-man mafia(as werewolf converter, what that role is called) and 1-man cult leader to go along with the devil, and no natural nightkills at the start.(or they both just used a convert.) We apparently have a survivor and a vampire now. Chaso.Why are all three of your lynch choices outside of your "can't trust" list?
Luckyowl, Caz, and Persus. I'd say these three make sense to me as lynches.
Ok if everyone is just going to lynch me because juicebox was lurking then you might as well replace me out. Waste of time.I'm in fact currently giving you a chance, which is why I haven't butted into your conversation with NQT.

Ok if everyone is just going to lynch me because juicebox was lurking then you might as well replace me out. Waste of time.I understand your grievances and it feels genuine. Lucky isn't even trying compared to you, it pisses me off.

We apparently have a survivor and a vampire now. Chaso.There is no werewolf converter role and it's unlikely we have vampires (especially if we have a "lone" vampire), but you do pose an interesting scenario in which there's a small Charismatic Cult and a Dark Magus. However, outside of games explicitly labelled bastard or semi-bastard, I somewhat doubt there'd be two rival scum teams.
I love what you're trying to do webadict, but its very demoralizing to be told to investigate harder because I certainly feel like I've been doing that. I've read the thread like three times today, I've tried to focus down individual players, I've tried looking at vote interactions, and at the end of the day I've got no clue or fresh insights on who the scum are. And for the second day in a row, we're lynching freaking LuckyOwl. I can tell you who I know the cult leader isn't. I'm certain its not NQT or 4mask, and maybe not Tric, and everyone knows its not Blu, but that's 4 players out of 12.Honestly get where you're coming from. Sometimes more investigation isn't necessary. I'm mostly posting my thoughts in case I'm NKed.
Sorry for the rant. D2 has been a demoralizing, unfun, slog for me, and whoever the scumteam is, they're denying me the msot fun parts of the game.

If you believe the Cult Leader is the top priority, it's going to be hard to push the wagon from Lucky.Somehow I doubt that if Lucky is mafia...
Let's see if you can put your increased posting to some use. Everyone loves Jim, so tell me what makes him town specifically. And it's surely not his pivot to walls of text in this game, is it?I'm writing up a larger post with my thoughts atm, but I'll take a second to answer this question: my read on Jim yesterday was that compared to wolf!Jim, he was actually putting in effort to solving the game. Wolf jim spent a lot of his time bitching and making excuses to not read the thread and avoid making content, this Jim is still low-posting but his posts are ontopic and actively working to puzzle out the game.
One thought about post count and meta: I must make clear that I don't think Jim etc. are scummy for low post count by itself (in every championship game I played, players thought I was suspicious for posting less frequent dense posts over snappy short posts, but I was always town).That's MU meta for you. Why do you think I highpost now? I got tired of being called a wolf because I didn't take a giant dump in the thread every five minutes.
Come back when you have more, and I challenge you again: I've been on a scumteam with Lucky since D1? I chose not to NK, or tried to NK someone who was protected, or got RBed and no one claimed, hey, no NK, and funny enough, I blocked Veckle? Oh, and possibly the best of them all: Lucky is playing as though they're being coached by Vector and has been the entire time. These are the implications of your statement. Do they make sense to you?I'm trying to parse what you're saying here, and the WIFOM is getting in the way a bit for me here. Are you saying Toony is accusing you of being incompetent scum?
I needed something to engage with and I wanted to see if you'd change anything now that his roleflip was visible. It doesn't normally work, but its always worth a shot just in case it does. Why have you not voted Lucky despite finding him suspicious?Actually, after rereading Jim Groovestar's posts this game, I'm going to vote him for now. Jim, what was your case on Blu again?
Didn't you just reread my posts? Why are you asking this? I thought I was clear.
I voted him for being inauthentic, oddly people pleasing, falling on his sword about his bad play. On two occasions he was pressed by Toaster and myself and was asked to clarify his cases, and he answered twice with something completely unrelated to what he was asked on. Generally being more concerned about how he appeared over finding scum.
I don't think I was wrong about him but he obviously wasn't scum.
Ok if everyone is just going to lynch me because juicebox was lurking then you might as well replace me out. Waste of time.I get what your feeling, I replaced in to being the vote leader when Secretdorf replaced out. Maybe take a break from the game for a few hours. That worked for me just now.
To be fair, I'm mostly okay with a LuckyOwl lynch today, its just it feels like we've regressed back to D1 again, and a Lucky elim doesn't solve my null reads problem.I love what you're trying to do webadict, but its very demoralizing to be told to investigate harder because I certainly feel like I've been doing that.

If you believe the Cult Leader is the top priority, it's going to be hard to push the wagon from Lucky.
Who is the most likely to be Cult Leader to you?
I'd like to see someone above the gap hang, and I'd start with Vector. Vector, do you think there was a conversion last night? If so, who did it? Who'd they pick?
Also, I'm tired of cults. Sorry town!
The situation looks good for a vampire cult, unless a kill was prevented or blocked or something. That'd be a relief, really, because I hate dealing with cults.
Obviously you're interested out scum squity, but why Bluarian first?To answer this I put my own posts through the grinder for an appropriate response:
I'm okay with launching Vector if Lucky decides to play or is dead.Whyyy though? What are people seeing in Vector that NQT is not seeing?
Icy has fallen off hard. Voting Lucky "for the sake of having my vote do something" is pretty -squints-At the time I made that vote, an issue was that the votes were spread out extremely wide, and I hadn't voted anyone yet. The purpose was to start a wagon, any wagon, to push Lucky into playing and to see who else would get on it.
Icy, the only universe in which we lynch Vector today over any other player is if we get a full claim as a vampire lord right now. I know you say it's your gut, but thankfully we don't all share a colon with you. It's great to develop and push suspicions throughout the day, but as we edge closer (8.5 hours!) we should be picking our forever lynches now. Who are you seriously going to push for today?See below.
Ok if everyone is just going to lynch me because juicebox was lurking then you might as well replace me out. Waste of time.I'm in fact currently giving you a chance, which is why I haven't butted into your conversation with NQT.
Ok if everyone is just going to lynch me because juicebox was lurking then you might as well replace me out. Waste of time.
Yeah, I was willing to give you one chance. You completely blew it faster than Persus did. And like him you haven't redeemed that mistake. I've never actually played with you before to my memory, so no clue if this pecking is your playstyle or not. But it doesn't fit well.
It's not because juice was lurking, it was his cases.
Which one of these would you prefer to lynch? If you had to choose between them. I think your day1 grievances against Icy seem manufactured, as well as your lack of suspicion for Bluarian day 1. Not enough to stop them from being lynched, mind. Just enough to grow some town cred instead?How was it manufactured? And what kind of bizarro world argument is this about Blu-- do good town players always and only want to lynch town players?
I've taken Caz's criticism to heart that I'm a boring player. In that vein I've tried to find more outré scum hunting techniques. To that end, I fed the last few pages of Webadict's posts into a markov chain:Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Bluarian who should town lynch today?
I guess I should be saltier about Vector's complete lack of a case on me, and the fact Web sheeps me on half the things I say and is still voting me. But whatever, I think they're town. They'll come around. Jim just seems to be the classic third-on-a-wagon scum sticking his boot in.
Alright guys, can anyone explain why y'all voting for Luckyowl?...
I've said (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254866#msg8254866) a few reasons (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254895#msg8254895) why.I'm okay with launching Vector if Lucky decides to play or is dead.Whyyy though? What are people seeing in Vector that NQT is not seeing?
My galaxy brain take is that Vector converted Toony last night.
Toony has a sudden shift of scuminess. If I was the convertor, he would have been my pick N1.
ToonyMan I think is a convert.This is sort of good for us because I would consider the role I have to be very useful for town. I don't know who's actually scum trying to throw shade on me, but it works in town's favor if you choose not to kill me because of this narrative you've crafted. If I play my cards right I could ruin's scum day.

NQT lol
If Jim, Vector, and Webadict are all scum then it's already over.
And I note Lucky ignored this question:Lucky, what exactly did the Devil offer you?
Lucky, care to answer?
The devil offer night kill, misdirections, and protect.
facepalms. Yeah, that isn't Luckyowl, that's someone else puppeteering the owl. Why wouldn't you take the protect? I'd love a Protect skill since it makes me a bulletproof doctor.
NQT lol
Oh Toony, why are you doing this. You had so much townequity left, then you do this. As is, voting thirdparty gets us no closer to lynching scum, and Lucky needs to go..
I'm certain its not NQT
Wait, why's that?
Oh Toony, why are you doing this. You had so much townequity left, then you do this. As is, voting thirdparty gets us no closer to lynching scum, and Lucky needs to go..
I suppose I'll reiterate my case on Lucky one last time.It's a tough choice for me.
If Lucky was converted by a charismatic cultist, today is MYLO unless Blue revived as an SK.
The very existence of that possibility means we have to play like we're in MYLO to avoid an instant-loss.
The most reliable way to head off this scenario is to launch Lucky.
Thus, Lucky must die to avoid losing to the worst case scenario.
QED
I don't think NQT is the converter.
Tricmagic:NQT lol
Oh Toony, why are you doing this. You had so much townequity left, then you do this. As is, voting thirdparty gets us no closer to lynching scum, and Lucky needs to go..
Are you saying NQT is third party?
Oh Toony, why are you doing this. You had so much townequity left, then you do this. As is, voting thirdparty gets us no closer to lynching scum, and Lucky needs to go..
Ugh, Ninja'ed, but: what's this about, Tric? Why are you convinced NQT is 3rd party?
Is this shift occurring because of the whole devil thing? If NQT is lynched and flips as such, that says a lot about the ones pushing it.Nobody but you believes NQT to be the devil.
As a question, what is the possibility that LO started as scum? He doesn't need to be converted if he was already part of the scum team.0% if there's a conversion team (this is a meta read but I'll stand by it), about rand if a kill team.
... Look, I literally hate the Lucky wagon. The Lucky wagon is where people go to stop trying. Anyone on the Lucky wagon that doesn't believe there is a Vampire Cult is lazy and voting wrong. That excuses Toaster. 4maskwolf is a Survivor, so they'll vote whatever doesn't get them ire, and the same goes for Bluarian. I literally don't understand why Lucky is voting for Lucky, so if you want to policy lynch self-voters, fine, whatever, I get it. But NQT doesn't think there's a Vampire Cult, and they were voting for Lucky. ToonyMan is all over the place and they were voting for Lucky, and the more I read from them the scummier they look. TricMagic is getting shifted down into scumleaning for whatever they've been doing Today, and I haven't even gotten to their read yet.-shrug- agree to disagree. You've seen my math, if you don't agree that it's a scenario worth considering that's up to you.
I'm just boggled, guys. Luckyowl is the lazy vote. If you want to eliminate them, FINE. I say FINE because we're basically forced to, but we should be finding better targets than "I'm taking my ball and going home" Luckyowl.
PPE@Vector: I am most certainly not the Devil. If I were, I would have claimed as such. Also, I'd be giving you Devil deals. I am disappointed that you think I'd put value on Lucky's soul.
Resurrections happen after Conversions, so they would act like a normal priest for that faction.

Thread consensus devil is Icy AFAIK.
Ugh, how did I misread this the wrong way:I've stated this in the past, but I don't think a Dark Magus cult converts Lucky. It doesn't put them in the same "about to win" scenario that it does for a charismatic cult and Lucky was considered wolfy enough that it's not worth it to get the double-convert (since the moment lucky bites it Blue immediately follows). Better for a Dark Magus to convert someone else.Resurrections happen after Conversions, so they would act like a normal priest for that faction.
OK, I get the Lucky push even more now (and it speaks well for Toaster for bring it up, unless that's not a thing the scum team thought about.)
Web, what do you think about 4mask's argument that the scum team could be aiming for a two-fer by converting Lucky so that he'd hopefully raise Blu onto their team, getting two scum for the price of one? I don't think we need to suppose a Vampire cult for that to make sense, Dark Magus or charisma cult works the same there doesn't it?
So far, Consensus, not established Fact.
-shrug- agree to disagree. You've seen my math, if you don't agree that it's a scenario worth considering that's up to you.I don't even believe it matters to you, so I'm not really sure why I'd trust your math. For you, anyone else also works.

Look, I don't know the nice way to say this, but Luckyowl is a garbage fire as scum. He's just not good. So, like, if you wanted Bluarian on your team, fine, cool, Blue is a decent scum player, but Luckyowl would tank your whole team, so it just doesn't seem like a fair trade.
Consensus is awfully strong. I mean, what, three people have said that?Okay, that was pretty funny.
Also yes if Lucky flips cult priest then Toaster is lock clear never rescinding.Yes, I agree. Toaster wouldn't be raiding the stores for tinfoil otherwise.

Toony, 100%, especially if we're looking at a conversion team. Toony has felt very off to me today in a "might have been converted" kind of way and I honestly think he was more likely the convert last night than Lucky, the Lucky vote is just to play it safe.-shrug- agree to disagree. You've seen my math, if you don't agree that it's a scenario worth considering that's up to you.How about this, if Luckyowl is Town, who does that implicate? For me, I'd say ToonyMan and TricMagic. ToonyMan has been pushing the Luckywagon all day and TricMagic is... like, super weird.
Unless we're lucky about Lucky, I'm not quite sure this spread catches town in under three hours to go:Which, again, is fair, if we'd like to take the information here and utilize it. But, we're spending all Day saying it's Luckyowl and nothing else. I'm just jumping through ToonyMan's posts and it's really just Luckyowl for the first half of them and just tunnelling hard on it. Although, writing that out now, I can't actually tell if that's the old Toony Tunnel. Maybe I'm thinking of everything wrong.

Web, I think you're right. It's not a good tradeoff for scum. I'm solid that they'd pick from the pool of top players. My earlier Lucky vote was on the assumption that Lucky started as scum. But this whole situation does feel a bit like Bluarian's D1 where he's throwing in the towel (though if we let off every player that gives up we'd never get anywhere).
Because you're telling me what's right for Town, but what you're really thinking about is what's right for you. That's sort of the game we're all playing here. To you, it's a surefire vote. Either it hits useless Town or it hits useless scum. Both of those are okay for you. But, one of those is slightly better for me than the other.-angry dog noises--shrug- agree to disagree.

Weren't you the one talking about how I was townier than many actual towns and that I clearly had the town's best interest at heart?
Why the change?

I think you're a convert too, Toony. Are you going to vote me?It doesn't matter, every scum member is going to push this narrative as well as hapless town. The way rumors work is you just say them over and over. I'm just glad it means scum will have to worry about me at night...
I would be less paranoid if Lucky was here!!You have literally been saying Luckyowl and Vector over and over, so why did you vote NQT?I think you're a convert too, Toony.

I would be less paranoid if Lucky was here!!Completely agree.
Because you're telling me what's right for Town, but what you're really thinking about is what's right for you. That's sort of the game we're all playing here. To you, it's a surefire vote. Either it hits useless Town or it hits useless scum. Both of those are okay for you. But, one of those is slightly better for me than the other.(https://media.tenor.com/images/081a1bc5907b5403370d43f88a4b2f2d/tenor.gif)
BluarianKnight: why are you voting for Luckyowl, yourself, and why isn't Toony voting for that reason?...
Increased size is in the original.
ToonyMan
Your argument is that BK is scum because... he voted you and thinks you're a convert?No, it's that I think Lucky is scum and now Blue sees an opportunity to flip off scum...or he's just a claimed survivor doing what they do.
Because I'm dumb and listened to the voices in my head after getting back from work.I would be less paranoid if Lucky was here!!You have literally been saying Luckyowl and Vector over and over, so why did you vote NQT?I think you're a convert too, Toony.

Your Occam's Razor needs some sharpening. Which is more likely: that I spend all day warning the town about a worst case scenario that I win in anyway and push a lynch on the only person in the game who is confirmed not to be a Serial Killer (the only alignment that directly threatens my wincon) despite not actually caring who lives or dies, or I do the same things because I'm following through on a promise I made to townside.I don't have gifs for you. I have nothing but nice words that will hug you.
Question was not pointed at you, and was largely rhetorical. Did BK read why Toony's vote is there?BluarianKnight: why are you voting for Luckyowl, yourself, and why isn't Toony voting for that reason?...
English, motherfucker, do you read it?
NQT's and Persus' side case on Jim interests me. Would like a response to it.Ah, I get your point. Yes, I meant why BK was voting for Lucky, and why Toony's reason is different from that.Question was not pointed at you, and was largely rhetorical. Did BK read why Toony's vote is there?BluarianKnight: why are you voting for Luckyowl, yourself, and why isn't Toony voting for that reason?...

Lucky, if you post in this game that we are playing I will vote anybody you want, no exception.We're on Bargaining now, eh?
If I disagree everybody can lynch me, how's that?? Is that enough to bring you in??
Well, I'm gonna get lynch one way or another. At the end, I weirdly think ToonyMan might be town as he's trying his hardest to get me lynch. A scum player wouldn't have gone through extrme length knowing I'll flip town and they will have to justify their hard push onto me. Web is oddly passive, and I think town should think about that a bit.You know, you actually won't get eliminated if you do something.
Overall, lynching me won't get us nowhere. But if that is how my townie brethen and scum want to go for. Then so be it.
LUCKYOWL WHO DO I VOTE
I voted for Luckyowl because he's been off all game - and he's done nothing but dig that hole deeper. But after catching up, I swapped over to Toony - for the fact that he's been acting off since N1 - as others have pointed out. His NQT vote is strange as hell - without much reason. So I'm putting my finger at him.Toony bussing Lucky, while not impossible, is a ridiculous world. I can't believe Toony would tunnel this badly on a scumbuddy for an entire Day.
I don't see the point of voting Lucky anymore - he's too safe of a vote, and I'm starting to feel like he's either being sacrificed, or being tossed out by other scum as the easy option.

What more is there to be done?You're at 4, one of which is your own vote. Move your vote to one of the players with 2, and tell Toony to do that as well. Voilà. you're out from under the gun. Please play the game.
Bb-b-b-bb--b-lUcky----LUCKYOWL WHO DO I VOTEVote for who you think is scum. ToonyMan. If it's me then stick with that.
Caz, I know from bitter experience it's miserable to place in to a slot which people have already decided on. I'm willing to give you another day to show us that you're town. Just stop grousing. You've got as many votes on you as I do and I'm not being lynched today. And I simply overlooked your question before. As should have been obvious from the reads, I'd prefer a Toaster lynch over an ICT lynch and that's only grown as the day's gone on.
Do you think your Toony vote could form part of a wagon?
I can think of exactly one reason why scum!vector would actually consider doing this, which is, as I guess people have noticed, as a WIFOM-shield. So I'm not trying to say something along the lines of "yeah, it's impossible." Sure. It's possible. You know me: I do crazy stuff when I'm playing scum. But what I am trying to do is press people to see if their theories make internally consistent, logical sense and ask whether they really want to put their tinfoil hats on right now.
ToonyMan I think is a convert.
Irresponsibly notquitethere, and I'll try to check in before the end of day but I doubt I'll see it.
I guess I should be saltier about Vector's complete lack of a case on me, and the fact Web sheeps me on half the things I say and is still voting me. But whatever, I think they're town. They'll come around. Jim just seems to be the classic third-on-a-wagon scum sticking his boot in.
I could shift to you. But don't trust any of you four. And Lucky is awol. Probably going to show up in the last hours to mess with the vote and generally deny town info through silence.

I don't know who Caz thinks will join their Toony wagon, but OK.

- Caz is mostly being reactive in-thread and had the world's sloppiest readslist, which was nothing but hot air, despite having watched the game since D1.

Why are you self-voting? It's not a good look in any game.
I don't want to be mean. I just want you to play the game. I think you are Town. I think what you are doing right now is anti-Town.Well, I'm gonna get lynch one way or another.

Fine, unvote, Webadict. that's where I'm putting my vote.
The way I see it:
If Lucky is town then I'm in trouble and Webadict is either town or completely played me as scum. Blue is most likely just third-party.
If Lucky is mafia then I'm going to have unpleasant guests tonight, Webadict is probably scum...hmm..., and Blue is either third-party or also scum.
You know what Lucky, if you're town I do strongly suspect Web. Let's do this.-squints-
Webadict
I mean, that's better than self-voting, but why?
FOUR? How do you get to four?? EVERYONE can't be scum.Actually, in Tric's world it's seven. Four to not trust, three to lynch.
Why webadict? also why not post until now?
These last few hours are going to be interesting 8)

Notably, I didn't apply the same standard to anyone else in that game.

I think he's an uninform townie. But still, I got pretty mad by those weak reasons. I'm a lot calmer now. So yeah.
I agree, he's felt way too not angry. Where are my genuine angry outbursts Web? Of course now that I've said that you'll have to be really convincing.I mean, that's better than self-voting, but why?Just gut-reading. But Web have been acting a bit too passive. It's a behavior that felt quite similar to his scum play in Vengekill 13 on day 1 and day 2ish.

I honestly don't know what Toony's gameplan is, sheeping his #1 suspect.It's this:
Lucky, if you post in this game that we are playing I will vote anybody you want, no exception.I can kinda figure out step three of the plan, let's see if it'll work.
If I disagree everybody can lynch me, how's that?? Is that enough to bring you in??
Hey if Lucky is town I still said I think Webadict could be scum playing me.
Tric has levels of paranoia I can only dream of. This is why I think they're town.Agree.

Webadict
@4mask and Toaster:Why does everyone want me to be angry? I don't want to be angry. I'm a terrible person when I'm angry. I like to think I'm a better player when I'm angry, but honestly, that's mostly just an excuse to be a bad person. Or maybe I am better when I'm angry. I definitely tunnel harder.

why were you voting for NQT is you think they're town?
I'll be honest, I feel like this "anger tell" is something from old webadict that hasn't really translated over. The only time I can remember web getting angry in a game we played together was when my dumb, immature ass picked an out-of-game fight with him in Para 25 back in 2017.
Persus13 started off Today with a push onto Blue for a potential Vampire fakeclaim and voted for IcyTea31. They shift their stance pretty fast on Blue and I'm not exactly a fan of their NQT and me Townread, but they do bring up a good point about ToonyMan on NQT that I appear to have missed earlier on. Their vote for Jim Groovester is a really big RVS style vote to determine the Convert.[#748] (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8254698#msg8254698) However, in a later post, they believe that Jim Groovester was in fact the Cult Leader [#862] (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=178146.msg8255076#msg8255076)I honestly don't see the case here. The only alignment-indicative thing in this analysis is the inconsistent read on Jim, but the first link doesn't directly say anything about the convert, and the second is about a gutshot, a separate context.
Even though a Jim lynch is for sure not happening? You're the only vote on him, I believe.I disagree, there's some wind for a Jim lynch, though it doesn't seem to be anyone's first choice.
We have NINE players up for the lynch. It's all to play for! Hell, if we really try we could get a 13-way tie today.Bad NQT.
We have NINE players up for the lynch. It's all to play for! Hell, if we really try we could get a 13-way tie today.I'm actually pretty surprised I don't have any votes on me.
You're read as the Devil by several people is part of why, since a Devil is not worth the time to get rid of.We have NINE players up for the lynch. It's all to play for! Hell, if we really try we could get a 13-way tie today.I'm actually pretty surprised I don't have any votes on me.
I'm actually pretty surprised I don't have any votes on me.Everyone's thinking better the devil you know
Also, you know Luckyowl's flipping town wouldn't confirm you, BluarianKnight?
Toonyman, if my hand must be forced. All things considered this was probably the conversion last night but there's surprisingly little movement towards it despite the number of people who agree.
Toaster, the Jim lynch could still happen. Your vote on Vector sure as hell isn't doing anything. Unless I missed a swap off it?
You and Web fighting doesn't count. :-X Plus I mentioned in my Day 1 reads that my eyes glazed over.I agree, he's felt way too not angry. Where are my genuine angry outbursts Web? Of course now that I've said that you'll have to be really convincing........... he and I had a massive fight about this D1
....................................... why don't you go look at that
.............................................................................................. Web trying to be calmer and less volatile is perhaps a maturity-tell, not a scumtell.
There was certainly the Shadowdump fight recently, but I feel like he's tried to become less insulting since the game we played together off-board when we, er, were trying to avoid moderator action.This was what I was thinking of yeah.
This is good. Who else do you believe is scum?I mean, that's better than self-voting, but why?
Just gut-reading. But Web have been acting a bit too passive. It's a behavior that felt quite similar to his scum play in Vengekill 13 on day 1 and day 2ish.
I'm actually more willing to believe this because of their vote on me. I don't think scum!ToonyMan would follow through on it. It's just a little too conspicuous for my blood.I was pretty annoyed by ToonyMan bogus push so I went to play some games to calm down than make more of a fool of myself.Wait, bogus push? What alignment do you think Toony is?
I think he's an uninform townie. But still, I got pretty mad by those weak reasons. I'm a lot calmer now. So yeah.
Web, this Persus thing is a blind alley. Look into it D3 if you like, but he's not a candidate for today. Take a look, does this spread catch scum with an hour to go?Maybe you're right. Out of the top contenders, I'm willing to believe Luckyowl and ToonyMan are Town (which, yes, I realize that ToonyMan just jumped up like 5 places for no reason, you can bug me about it later.) I'd be lying if I said Jim Groovester is my first choice because they're for sure not, but I'm gonna suffer some whiplash for this take, but I'd be okay thinking ToonyMan is Town over Jim Groovester.

If at the start of the day someone told me D2 was going to end in a Jim/Toony tie with Web coming second, I'd be quite surprised, but here we are:Might be the fact that I'm apparently going to be awake for the witching hour, but I have this strange feeling I've been here before.
Web got mad in a recent game (MVM2), and I think he regretted it.
If I had to pick from the current top three, I'd vote for Jim, but I still want to hear from BK before I'll think about that further.We know that Blue didn't start as the scumteam. The only thing you'd be gaining is knowledge of whether Lucky is scum or not, and that's only if Luckyowl is pious. I seriously don't think Luckyowl is scum, so it's a wasted vote.If at the start of the day someone told me D2 was going to end in a Jim/Toony tie with Web coming second, I'd be quite surprised, but here we are:Might be the fact that I'm apparently going to be awake for the witching hour, but I have this strange feeling I've been here before.
Can you define that color code, NQT?
That's a fast sidestep to Jim.Given the spread was 1s and 2s on everyone I think it's obvious it needs to be a fast step to someone if we're to lynch scum this day, no?
Bunch of pages after dinner and the vote has shifted to Jim why?Because he's scum. Look at his last post.
I'm feeling good about this wagon.I'm really feeling the Jim/Caz/Toaster scum team right now. IcyTea would be the Devil.

I'm down with the IcyTea31 is the Devil reads (which sounds a tad more sinister than I mean it). I think that's correct.Can you define that color code, NQT?
It's the same as my reads list earlier: green is town, grey is hmm, orange is third party, red is scum. However, that Lucky read is residual, I'm starting to come around to the view that he's a frustrated townie. His play here is identical to Blu's D1. Feels he's facing an uphill struggle, throws in the towel with a self vote, is convinced to actually play.
There's an offsite game where web went full rage mode in the thread?Never got a chance, and you know it, you monster.
I gotta point out again that since Jim already said he'd be afk at day end, we are trying to lynch someone who can't defend themselves. -.-Who is a better choice, then?
Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.I 100% agree with this.
Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.Or toony as of a few pages ago. Need to read, how much time is left?
This would explain Juice's super scummy end of Day 1 and why Jim has been so bad during Day 2.Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.I 100% agree with this.
Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.Huh. You're bouncing around a lot this EoD.

HEY LUCKYOWL I SEE YOU ONLINE
Who is a better choice, then?
And why is toony voting web?
I gotta point out again that since Jim already said he'd be afk at day end, we are trying to lynch someone who can't defend themselves. -.-This is nice. You're defending him now, just like Jim defended Juice x3 times.
I also disagree with the Persus13 and the Luckyowl read, but the rest looks pretty accurate.I get why you'd disagree with the Persus read, but I truly am certain about this from D1. I'm starting to doubt my Lucky read myself.
My mind is currently traveling at 1000000000000 miles per hour.Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.Huh. You're bouncing around a lot this EoD.
Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.I 100% agree with this.
Actually, that's a lie. I 95% agree with it.Swap Persus13 for Toaster and I can agree with it, though.
It's not ToonyMan. It's not Luckyowl either. It's not Vector. It's not IcyTea31. It's not NQT. NQT can be the surprise pick. 4 of these are Town, for sure.Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.Huh.

Toony is sheeping Lucky as an inducement to get Lucky to play the game, which is very generous of him and maybe borderline genius play.

Toaster and Caz would be the D1 scum team, Jim is the N1 convert.This is a sensible conclusion, though it requires ignoring a couple points I've noted on other players. Of course, other team compositions would require similarly skipping a few notes.
This is just a post to say that I'm not going to be around for day end. I have no clue what the vote count looks like right now and I have no idea what's going to happen after I leave, so I'll leave it on Jim for gut read plus defending Lucky while also finding them scummy.Yeah, nope.

"Sheeping is bad and you shouldn't do it" is a take.Rightly or wrongly, this is actually the default Bay12 position; it's part of what makes the site meta so different to elsewhere. People are expected to have their own reasons for voting.
Some random thoughts:
If webadict were scum I think he would just go to sleep. Making in depth reads on every single player is way too much effort to justify if you are both tired and scum. That said, I still don't trust myself to read him correctly in any situation.
I'm liking Toaster more on Day 2 than I did on Day 1.
I'm liking ToonyMan less on Day 2 than I did on Day 1.
I have a dilemma in that I can vote irresponsibly or I can not vote at all since I don't have enough time prior to day end to do another thorough posts.
I have misgivings about notquitethere but not a coherent case.
Luckyowl is indeed playing terribly and has basically disappeared, as has BluearianKnight, and I won't weep for either of them if they're gone but I don't think either of their lynches productively advance our win conditions.
ToonyMan I think is a convert.
Irresponsibly notquitethere, and I'll try to check in before the end of day but I doubt I'll see it.

Join a wagon, Persus isn't happening today.
This is nice. You're defending him now, just like Jim defended Juice x3 times.
Juice was a lynch want for you yesterday. What changed with Caz?I told Caz I'd give them a day to settle into the replacement role and do their best job as town, that's all. My view of their slot hasn't changed massively since, but I'd rather not lynch them when I said I wouldn't:
Caz, I know from bitter experience it's miserable to place in to a slot which people have already decided on. I'm willing to give you another day to show us that you're town. Just stop grousing.
Uhm... if he's afk he can't defend whatever ideas come up, which can blow out of proportion easily, yeah. He's been pretty quiet today, but he seemed town d1 to me.Then who?
Who what?
Who what?We're not done voting until the Day ends. If you want to defend, do it. Why is Jim a bad elimination?
Uhm... if he's afk he can't defend whatever ideas come up, which can blow out of proportion easily, yeah. He's been pretty quiet today, but he seemed town d1 to me.But his activity and effort dropped massively D2 (which it admittedly did for several others, including myself), and the lack of a nightkill puts conversion mechanics on the table.
I'm voting for Toonyman? But, sure. What's the reasons for Jim? If it's that they've been quiet, then just look to LuckyOwl or Bluarian for worse cases than this. If it's for passivity, Vector has been doing this except they've actually been here the whole time.While I don't think Jim should be voteleader, I do think that they have enough scum equity to vote them, especially over ToonyMan and Luckyowl. I would probably have agreed with you about 1 or 2 hours ago, their actions just... seem like Town!Toony? Like, I just expect Town!Toony to push the vote on Luckyowl after they came back because Luckyowl had a really bad take when they came back.
I'll take the point about his activity dropping, but since I think Toony is the converted... :L
A bigger point is, imo, attributing activity to alignment is just a crapshoot. So you are trying to lynch someone on a crapshoot reason who can't even defend themselves. What does that make you?
NQT's Tally Sheet
Jim Groovester: 5: notquitethere, Persus13, Vector, webadict, IcyTea31
Caz: 1: TricMagic
notquitethere: 1: Jim Groovester
ToonyMan: 2: BluarianKnight, Caz
Vector: 1: Toaster
webadict: 2: Luckyowl, ToonyMan
Not Voting: 4maskwolf
Day ends: 12 minutes
It's ironic that out of everyone else I can only trust web and the claimed survivor at the end of the day.
I'm not budging unless Lucky is here.
Though I really hate doing this with ten minutes to go; I thought there was another hour.If only.
You just tied it Toaster.Yes that's deliberate.
Hot damn, maybe don't tie the game six minutes to go! Any reason for thinking Toony was converted applies doubly to Jim!The game's no fun if people aren't on edge the whole time.
Web, you seriously can't see Convert Toony?I mean, maybe, but not before I see Jim Groovester convert!
I'm so mad right now.I DON'T WANT TO SCREAM. I AM TRYING REALLY HARD.
Okay no takers then.-angry dog noises-
Jim Groovester to avoid ties, though I still suspect Vector. Sorry Toony fans, but Jim's more likely the converter, full stop, and a solid convert choice to boot.
I'm so mad right now.I DON'T WANT TO SCREAM. I AM TRYING REALLY HARD.
1 whole minute and the toast is burnt.13 seconds to tie. Thats all folks. See you tommorow.
If LuckyOwl has a kill, why didn't he target webadict who he wanted to lynch yesterday? :LThat's what I want to know too. But since I'm like 99% sure Meph wouldn't randomly throw us into a multiball the killer was either Lucky, Blue, or a monster hunter that hasn't claimed (I'm not familiar with monster hunter flavor but "removing their heart" doesn't feel like it).
I'm really feeling the Jim/Caz/Toaster scum team right now. IcyTea would be the Devil.I was looking back to see if I could find who Toaster's N1 peek was and man did this post not age well.
Multple.. Caz, Luckyowl...This isn't a multiball. Quit your ridiculousness.
I'd propose Icytea and 4maskwolf as one team. Persus OR Caz with Luckyowl as the other. And blue as the loner third party revived by scum.
This has no logic or basis behind it, but I'll check through day 1 later.
Also if I die tonight, I'd just like to say: don't lynch Persus.
Persus13:I'm certain its not NQT
Wait, why's that?
NQT putting secretdorf as townie off of a single post as well is pretty thonk.
Side note.So if you think I'm scum today, you need to argue why the scumteam converted me N1 when I was in the top 4 lynch choices that day.
Sort by postcount, become mafia expert. Secretdorf has a lot of wolf equity and his townread on NQT was just mrrrr enough that I'm considering that scumteam as a possiblity.
Don't Devil kills usually involve copius amounts of fire? And how much can we trust a third party who already lost the game here? My first thought on the Toaster kill was that BluarianKnight lied and is actually a Demon. The other kill definitely feels like a Dark Magus to me, checking back on the flavor.Wait wasn't NQT the one who died by fire? I thought Toaster had his heart removed.
NQT died by dark magic fire, which is consistent with the Dark Magus kill flavor. I just checked previous Supernaturals and Devil kills were either killed by superhuman strength with chunks missing or the whole house burned down.Don't Devil kills usually involve copius amounts of fire?

Unfortunately because of the existence of a Dark Magus we can't clear Persus off that claim, he could have been converted and killed NQT for the towncred.Again, you'll have to argue that the Dark Magus chose to convert me when I was one of the top 4 lynch choices Day 1 in a 13 person game.
@Caz:
Forget you're a dreamwalker? Results please.
Caz why haven't you claimed your Night action yet?
Caz: Toony's right, spill the beans on your dream.
I want to know if Blue roleblocked anybody. If that can be confirmed then I think it really is Lucky and Web. The NQT and Toaster kills look very coordinated.It could also be all three of Lucky/Blue/Web, since in that case Lucky would have to be priest, Web would have to be Dark Magus, and blue would have been revived by a wolf priest and could full well have converted into a mafia member.
I'm not saying I suspect you right now, because I really don't, I'm saying that I can't mechanically rule you out as a wolf.Unfortunately because of the existence of a Dark Magus we can't clear Persus off that claim, he could have been converted and killed NQT for the towncred.Again, you'll have to argue that the Dark Magus chose to convert me when I was one of the top 4 lynch choices Day 1 in a 13 person game.
Persus saying that devil kills are sometimes superhuman strength means Toaster could well have died to a Lucky devilkill, beaten to death and heart ripped out seems pretty superhuman to me.Yeah, I needed to reread the flavor. For more detail, Toaster's death in this post (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=59269.msg1361440#msg1361440) is from a Devil kill. Iirc, Leafsnail was from the Demon, which reassures me that Toaster wasn't kill by a demon, sorry for throwing that out as a possibility. This is the Night action flavor (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=89665.msg2644016#msg2644016) from S4. One kill was house burned down, the other was superhuman strength again. Supernatural 9 had a devil who died too early to give out a kill.
Cool, than we're in agreement.I'm not saying I suspect you right now, because I really don't, I'm saying that I can't mechanically rule you out as a wolf.Unfortunately because of the existence of a Dark Magus we can't clear Persus off that claim, he could have been converted and killed NQT for the towncred.Again, you'll have to argue that the Dark Magus chose to convert me when I was one of the top 4 lynch choices Day 1 in a 13 person game.
Vector trusts me because they read through the whole game and came to the conclusion I'm not converted with points and reasons as to why. Webadict sussed me all of D2 until I stopped voting Lucky and then suddenly I'm town to him.Why did Lucky vote webadict then?
@Persus:
I believe you.
Distancing, presumably.Vector trusts me because they read through the whole game and came to the conclusion I'm not converted with points and reasons as to why. Webadict sussed me all of D2 until I stopped voting Lucky and then suddenly I'm town to him.Why did Lucky vote webadict then?

I'd like to see blue claim their block before we get any more claims.Yes. I'm just claiming I wasn't roleblocked for now.
I have no idea. Maybe Web told them to do it?Vector trusts me because they read through the whole game and came to the conclusion I'm not converted with points and reasons as to why.

Caz getting fuck-all two nights in a row as a claimed dreamwalker, while not impossible, is pretty -squints-
Well, I was roleblocked last Night so that clears Bluarian of the kill.Does it though?

Dark Magus can roleblock, as can a Guard.
As one of the most powerful practitioners of dark arts, you have many powers at your disposal. Each Night you may select one of the following.
Kill a Player (Counts as a Scum Faction Kill - No limit)
Make Yourself unkillable for a night (2 Uses)
Convert another player (1 Use - Gains the ability to use your Faction Kill, you will gain a Quicktopic when this is done)
Cast the Rune of Calamity - if the target player gets lynched they kill a random player when they die, except you. (1 Use)
Roleblock another player (2 Uses)
Inspect another player to see their Alignment and Role (2 Uses)
Give Yourself another vote for the next day phase (2 Uses)
In addition, you have the Ward of Undeath already cast, which can bring you back from Death. It will only work once, however.
Yes. That's actually what happened in Supernatural 7, Persus got lynched on Day 5 and Day 7. Though presumably a nightkill could also pop the ward of undeath, if it didn't hit the magus while they were unkillable.Well, I was roleblocked last Night so that clears Bluarian of the kill.Does it though?

Aren't they a survivor?
I want Icytea and webadict to claim, as it's likely one of them is the dark magus.

Assume you are a mafia-aligned Dreamwalker and knew who the devil was. would you want to lynch them so they don't give any more kills to town? Particularly when there was a knight willing to sell their soul for that power, to be able to use it at the end of the game.Juicebox/Caz was an even less likely convert than the one you insist isn't a thing (secret/Persus), they were literally the CFD at EoD 1. Caz is either the Dark Magus or town, in my reckoning.
Well, I was roleblocked last Night so that clears Bluarian of the kill, but I am working right now so I can post more tonight.If Blue confirms this then I also am strongly feeling the Icy/Lucky team.
You haven't contributed anything useful after switching in and NQT who gave you some space for the day is now dead unable to press you. Convenient right? And you don't have anything to report from Dreamwalker, which is starting to fray. And we already had one Dreamwalker on town's side.

and NQT who gave you some space for the day is now dead unable to press you. Convenient right?Not really. It's not like NQT was the towniest person around. And why would I kill someone who WAS giving me a chance, as you have so put? There's plenty who didn't want to do even that, lol.
And you don't have anything to report from Dreamwalker, which is starting to fray. And we already had one Dreamwalker on town's side.Not sure how you can blame me for either of those.
Assume you are a mafia-aligned DreamwalkerI want to know in what universe I got converted N1. You think juicebox was converted day 1. You were here for day 1, right? The idea is insane.
How does this happen in this mythical scenario? but, ok...
and knew who the devil was.
would you want to lynch them so they don't give any more kills to town?...do you remember people painting me as Jim's scumbuddy because I was literally trying to not get them lynched?? WTF?

Web, would you consider doing us a solid and running a full Mamobo?Mamobo Number 5? Sorry, this statement really amused me for some reason. Was Blu helpful at all N1?
My pick for Dark Magus would be ICT, for what it's worth. Yes.
I had him pegged as the Devil because of that. I'm still surprised it was Jim.We must lynch Icy, he has my hat.

Aka. Yes, you're right. Frankly I'm getting to the point where I just want to PL Tric on the off chance he's a dark magus hiding behind a werebear/knight soft (and to get rid of, well, all this).
snip... Right, that post sends you over the cliff of my scum radar.
snip... Right, that post sends you over the cliff of my scum radar.
Put simply, if you were scum from day one, a good bit of that post is breakdown without address.
And I was asking you if you would do that if you were dreamwalker scum who found out about the devil.
Right now I just feel powerless. There isn't anything I can do to help, and it frustrates me. At least having a kill in my pocket for when it's needed would be something.
Mamobo Number 5? Sorry, this statement really amused me for some reason. Was Blu helpful at all N1?
6 town max and we have to lynch scum 3 times with 2 survivors in the mix. Dark magus has a doublevote ability. Yeah it's mylo.Three times... there's only two scum, unless exactly Lucky was converted.
Lol Tric.
Three times... there's only two scum, unless exactly Lucky was converted.
True.Lol Tric.

Bluh I always use the short form and then realize my thoughts make no sense outside my head.True.Lol Tric.
Three times... there's only two scum, unless exactly Lucky was converted.
Dark magus auto-revives.
Actually it seems like going for the convert would be the optimal play here, Dark Magus can't use any of their fancy toys if they have to carry the nightkill and with the convert gone town can comfortably get two lynches in a row.
It also frees me up to always townside since one wolf can't threaten me, unless the magus has time to set up their supersaint thing.
OK, but since there was a Magus kill last night, doesn't that mean that they wouldn't be Supersainted today?Magus kill can be carried by anyone on the team, Toaster carried the kill for most of the game in Supernatural 7. That means the Magus could have set up a supersaint trap today.

I very strongly doubt that Town!Lucky would choose to pewpew NQT.
“We lost two of our own last night. Both pure of heart, and faithful defenders of our lands. Toaster, our Seer, was beaten to death and had his heart ripped out. Notquitethere, who seems to have been part of some Coven of Witches, was burned to death by some dark magic. Foul murders, both of them, and show that we face not a single threat but multiple.”I think Lucky killed Toaster and IcyTea killed NQT here.
Impossible, it's a night action to give them a double vote and they converted.(https://i.imgur.com/MhWrJHz.jpg)

No, it lets us read a revived Townie though.Luckyowl 65% Town: Luckyowl is a weird case. I think it's possible that they're scum, and if they are, we're likely going to find out tomorrow with the revive.Wait, you'd trust a revived townie?

Makes sense. And yeah, giving themselves a second vote is their night action.Mamobo Number 5? Sorry, this statement really amused me for some reason. Was Blu helpful at all N1?
I disturbed the grave but didn't actually try to reach out after all, because I was worried that Blu would rezz scum.
It was less that I didn't want my power role revealed because I thought I would be a scum target, rather I didn't want to help any scumteam PoE a vig or cop by ruling me out.
@MOD Question:NQT asked Meph this last night and the answer was "you don't know".
You mentioned in one of my previous questions that some third party can be converted by some scum team. Would you mind saying if 3rd party Devils can be converted?

Meph: If a one-shot ability fails to work, be it by roleblocking or an invalid target, is it expended or refunded to the user?NQT asked Meph this as well, but specifically about one-shot converts and Meph refused to answer the question.
After some more thought I've changed my mind from earlier: Lucky could be the convert, but only with Caz, Tric, or maybe Icy as the magus.

Wait... if LO is town... then....If Lucky is town:
dies quietly
I think it's time for a fullclaim. The knight is already outed, the cop is dead, the priest has used up their power, the witches are outed, we don't seem to have a monster hunter, and we might as well make it harder for the convert + magus to hide.It does seem to be mylo...I want Blue to confirm their role-block on Webadict and then I'll do it.
Meph: Can dark magus target their own ally with rune of calamity?If that's the supersaint thing they can target anyone with it, even themself.

If Lucky is town:
1. It goes against all my reads of him this entire game.
2. They took a one-shot kill from a Devil and lied about it, then shot Toaster in the face.
3. Either Webadict or Vector is probably scum. Or both? *shudder*
I will Mamobo in a bit.Guard is generally pretty obvious because your front door is locked. That sounds most like a Vampire RB, but I agree it could be a Magus block.
I am a dirty no-good Thief. I can confirm that Vector is, indeed, a graverobber. I'd know one anywhere. They cannot be the Dark Magus.
I was trying to follow IcyTea last Night when something overtook me and I found myself unable to move. I thoight I got vamped, but it could've been a DM RB. Maybe a Guard? Idk seemed very supernatural to me.
Why did I kill Toaster? Are you really serious about this? Lol. Let me ask you this, why would I even kill toaster? Right now, I'm putting 4maskwolf and ToonyMan in the same scumteam.Lucky this isn't about accusing you of being wolfy.
ToonyMan has always been town-scummy to me and the only reason they did a hard switch on day 2 was because they knew my flip will ruin their reputation. So they enter day 3 and had me as a strong town only to be 'convince' that I am the scum through dumb reason. Obviously my death will only ensure a scum victory.
@Lucky:
You didn't answer the question. Did you kill Toaster? Is Vector lying about what Jim said?

So they enter day 3 and had me as a strong town only to be 'convince' that I am the scum through dumb reason. Obviously my death will only ensure a scum victory.
Supposedly, Jim told Vector that you actually accepted the deal and took a kill. The kill on Toaster was performed in a way that's in line with a devil-empowered kill. If you did perform it, just say so, and explain why. It's not about being wolfy, it's about keeping track of actions.
If you didn't perform it, then just confirm that you didn't, and we'll go from there.
Watch toaster claim a hidden track or inspect and was town all along.Why did I kill Toaster? Are you really serious about this? Lol. Let me ask you this, why would I even kill toaster?

Haha, for real. If I did I would've protected NQT. I guess I'm placing my vote on Vector. For that ridiclous lie.
But that does make me wonder though. What type of deal Jim was trying to give me? He told me wanted my soul exchange for protect, role-block and night kills. If I knew the devil was a neutral party I would've accpet it and probably never bring it up and then revealed today that protected NQT.You only get one if you accept, for the record.

Lucky, that is the type of question that's called a trap. And you couldn't have both a protect and a kill.
... Opps. Typo.Icytea could still be the Dark Magus, or less likely, the convert. Not sure what this question is about.
And what of Icytea?
If LuckyOwl has a kill, why didn't he target webadict who he wanted to lynch yesterday? :LI am EQUALLY perplexed.
Oh hey, webadict's alive D3? Do we do the thing?Nah, that's a 95% chance for a Town win.
The fact that Jim was actually the Devil means Icy has hella wolf equity, I mostly left him alone yesterday because I was sheeping the idea that he was the Devil.Agreed x2. I believe that NQT got NKed and I got RBed because we were both crumbing as cop.
PPE: Persus claim seems legit, I was gonna go back and try and find NQT's buddy but he saved me the trouble. It checks out, NQT was big into "not secret/persus, literally not ever".
(Also means I'm right about Lucky this entire game and Web successfully broke my mind at end of Day 2 by telling Lucky to stop lurking.... I would never actively choose that, and you know that.
Vector trusts me because they read through the whole game and came to the conclusion I'm not converted with points and reasons as to why. Webadict sussed me all of D2 until I stopped voting Lucky and then suddenly I'm town to him.You were a very good candidate for the conversion, especially since I wasn't. I know for a fact Vector cannot be the Cult Leader, and while there's a chance that they were Converted, there is now 100% certainty that they did not start off the game as scum.
@Persus:
I believe you.
Fair. I did a quick glance over and saw I was blocked and it seemed vampirish in nature, but that's my bad. I don't think it was a Guard.Well, I was roleblocked last Night so that clears Bluarian of the kill.Does it though?
Dark Magus can roleblock, as can a Guard.
LIES. Luckyowl is lying. Vector is definitely a Warlock. Vector's claim matches everything I've seen. Luckyowl definitely took the deal and definitely killed Toaster. And it DEFINITELY doesn't make sense because Luckyowl should've killed me?@Lucky:

I'm a Wizard. (https://youtu.be/VU__Y3mUA1M)
Night 1 I protected Luckyowl because I believed Web's read on them. We didn't know what the scum team would be like so I did it to deny scum from killing the priest before they could res anyone.
Night 2 I protected Webadict. I was this close to protecting NQT instead, sorry NQT...
I assumed that my targets weren't aware of the protection since Lucky didn't say anything on Day 2 about it. I actually slipped that I protected Lucky at the beginning of Day 2 but I'm not sure if anybody saw that...
If scum decide not to kill me tonight I'll try my best to outguess them and prevent anyone from dying.

What? Well, I'm not the wolf? I thought we're dealing with cults?
It was definitely a Luckyowl kill. It's a terrible Luckyowl kill, but a Luckyowl kill nonetheless. I am truly, utterly, baffled. Unless I don't know how a Devil works.
@Mephansteras: Does a Devil get to only pick one person per Night to make a deal with?
You are a Devil, here to seduce the folk of this town into surrendering their souls for power. Each night you may select a player to Offer Power to.

I'm town because I know I am town.Then let's lynch blue!
I'm not sure how dark magus playstyle works. But I would go out of a whim and say Dark Magus is 4maskwolf and the convert has to be Vector. But I'm willing to believe that Jim gave Vector the wrong info to throw off the game for town and get me lynch for kicks. Or maybe a redirect? If that's the case then I think we might have a ToonyMan/Webadict.
The second kill is obviously an SK. Which easily leaves blu as the SK.

Why should I be looking at vector luckyowl?
No, here's the thing: Someone killed Toaster. They did so with Devil kill powers. Luckyowl literally claimed being given a Devil choice and saying no.Imagine randing a third party with actual abilities.
A Devil can only give one Devil power per Night.
Luckyowl killed Toaster. There is no other explanation, unless there is a SECOND DEVIL???

Are you mad?! I haven't done anything last night. I refuse the devil deal and used my one shot ability to rez Blu. Why do we need a second devil? I pretty sure someone might be a third-party with a night kill.
Can somebody link the differences between known third-party kills?I'll start looking.
@Meph: If a Warlock talked to a dead Devil, could they make a deal with them?
That's an extremely clever idea, but not one I thought of.I mean, certainly a possibility, no? I can't get good answers about powers I don't have, unfortunately, so I can't disprove it, but we are relying on you for information we don't have access to. You're the one that says Jim said Luckyowl took the devil deal. And it could be mylo right now. Just... Lots of factors to consider.
So, the idea would be that someone converts me N1, I disturb Blu's grave, I'm scum for all of D2, I disturb Jim's grave, I get a kill, I use the kill, and my Dark Magus buddy who converted me did the main NK on NQT?
I don't think Lucky killed Toaster last night - he was the person I blocked, not Webadict.That's, uh...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Proof you can kill the Night you receive a deal:I disagree. For one, Meph games have a pretty strict "one action per night" rule, and Warlock meeting someone is an action so they shouldn't be able to take both actions in one night. In that action you posted the Warlock chose to take no action that night and was thus able to make the kill concurrently.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The question is if you can actually talk to the dead AND accept a Devil power AND use it all in the same Night. I'm still looking.
Because that seems very much like it all pieces together, no?

Okay, so maybe...
Maybe... Maybe Luckyowl is a Necromancer? And Bluarian is a Zombie?
And there's a Dark Magus ~somewhere else~?Apparently to kill Luckyowl?
Here's another question: Why the fuck would BK block Lucky when Lucky is supposedly powerless?
Because I was aiming to kill him N3, if you lot decided not to kill him.Okay understand.
If I was SK, why wouldn't I take the Web claim?
And there's a Dark Magus ~somewhere else~?My point exactly. Or one of them, anyway. And he never actually answered that question.

Fine, here's what I did last night;
I targeted Toaster.
Sure seems grand, being that I've targeted the guy who died last night, huh?
Again - I did not block Web - please note that down.

OK, that's an outed scumteam. You claimed to block Lucky so that Lucky wouldn't take the fire for the kill, now you're claiming you blocked Toaster since you've been caught.Can we kill blue first?
So, let me get this straight. We're claiming that:Seems to be? Alternatively, Dark Magus blocks Web, the convert factionkills NQT and Blue SK kills Toaster.
Dark Magus blocks Web.
Lucky uses kill on Toaster.
BK uses factional kill on NQT.
Is that right?
So, let me get this straight. We're claiming that:Dark Magus converted Luckyowl N1.
Dark Magus blocks Web.
Lucky uses kill on Toaster.
BK uses factional kill on NQT.
Is that right?
I meant to type blocks me, but I'm dumb.So, let me get this straight. We're claiming that:Dark Magus converted Luckyowl N1.
Dark Magus blocks Web.
Lucky uses kill on Toaster.
BK uses factional kill on NQT.
Is that right?
Luckyowl is Pious, so BluarianKnight is converted as well.
Luckyowl takes the Devil deal.
Luckyowl kills Toaster.
Bluarian factions kills NQT.
Dark Magus blocks me.
That fits perfectly.
I'm not the SK - nor converted. I said the truth, and I'm being thrown under the bus because of it.You LITERALLY said that you blocked Luckyowl, in an attempt to clear them.
I'm not the SK - nor converted. I said the truth, and I'm being thrown under the bus because of it.Then who killed Toaster.

Why did you claim to target Lucky if that wasn't true?
Who are the wolves?
Why did you block Toaster last night?
Toaster was on my list of 'probable convertor' after JimFor the record, this is why I think SK over wolf. He's literally admitting his reasoning for the kill here: he thought he had a bead on the wolfteam to further his wincon and missed.
I'd still like to hear from Icytea.I mean.
Also keep in mind when reading 4mask's posts that 4mask has strong reasons to want to kill Blu because they're the main person who can cause them to lose.
I'd still like to hear from Icytea.True, but why would Bluarian cover for Luckyowl like that?
Also keep in mind when reading 4mask's posts that 4mask has strong reasons to want to kill Blu because they're the main person who can cause them to lose.
If Blue is claiming the kill on Toaster then...Your guess is as good as mine.
what...
Luckyowl said the Devil visited them on Night 1. The Devil is now dead. Blue couldn't have Devil killed unless they're a Devil too.
Why would Blue admit to killing Toaster.
The deep problem I have with this admission is that means Lucky is telling the truth about not taking the Devil deal.I 100% believe that Luckyowl took the Devil deal. I believe that Bluarian tried to cover for them. Because both of them are converts.
Which means Vector is lying, or Jim is an asshole.
Blu's either a Lone Vampire as he claims, a Demon, or a Converted Dreamwalker, if I understand this game right. Some of those are more likely than others, however.I'd still like to hear from Icytea.True, but why would Bluarian cover for Luckyowl like that?
Also keep in mind when reading 4mask's posts that 4mask has strong reasons to want to kill Blu because they're the main person who can cause them to lose.
Luckyowl was definitely converted. Bluarian is part of the team. Blue is the unknown factor because we are 99% sure that Luckyowl was a Priest. Bluarian could be anything.
The deep problem I have with this admission is that means Lucky is telling the truth about not taking the Devil deal.I've been saying the latter is entirely possible all day.
Which means Vector is lying, or Jim is an asshole.
Also again, if Toaster was an SK kill, his body would be far more gruesome than no heart, if my flavor recollection is right.I mean he claimed the kill.
Also again, if Toaster was an SK kill, his body would be far more gruesome than no heart, if my flavor recollection is right.I'm slowly rolling through, but the flavor seems fairly consistent with Devil kills. Demon kills are much worse. I haven't found a Ghoul kill yet, but I think they leave skeletons. Zombie kills are much higher brute strength than Devils and less than Demons, but also not possible without a Zombie which literally cannot exist last Night.
Man, you're really trying to get me with this. Web? ::) . Me and Blue are not working together. Yes, I revived him. But that is all I did. What he became after his revival is a mystery to me. But I'm glad he blocked me because this pretty much clears me of killing anyone. Expose Vector of possibly lying or Jim being a dick and the most important of them all. Blu couldn't have killed if he blocked me. This mean we are at MYLO and the scum is trying to push the lynch onto me. Right now I think we might have a Web/ToonyMan. Or possibly a Vector/Web.You're not making this easy for me Lucky.
From my point of view. I feel I can trust Blu for blocking me. I'm not sure what's his wincon, but hopefully it's a town wincon.Blue recanted the claim and claimed the kill on Toaster, coming up with a convoluted and mechanical impossible story for why he's TOTALLY NOT AN SK in doing so. He's literally outed as SK or mafia. And if he's mafia, he's with you. So from your perspective, he's either an SK, or, well...
Of course I still think Vector is scum who thought he could just lie like that and get away and the more he stay silent on it the more I feel like he is the scum. Webadict might be the convert who is trying to use flavor kill as a way to get me lynch. Honestly if he's town shame on him because they're more damning players like Vector's silence on my claim and ICT who haven't even claimed anything. The fact you're not pushing ICT as the possible killer is worrisome.
Oof. I just read through.lol
Blu: ¿¿Why? ?
@Lucky:
What's your read on IcyTea?
I still think Web and Vector are scum team. But that's only because I know I didn't take the deal and if I did I would've claimed that I took the deal today and would've protected NQT with it. But as I said many many times. I didn't know the devil was a neutral party.Okay. Okay. There's a simple method to solve this, Lucky.
How many times do I need to repeat that the flavor of Toaster's kill doesn't match a Demon here? And if he's not a Demon, you need to argue what other SK he could possibly be here.Werebear?

And if he's not a Demon, you need to argue what other SK he could possibly be here.And how many times do I need to repeat that Blue's actions means he's either wolf or SK. "Oh that doesn't match the demon's flavor boo hoo" doesn't actually matter because if you think he can't be an SK then he has to be a wolf with Lucky and Lucky did the kill. Simple as that.
Perhaps BluarianKnight ate Toaster's heart when Toaster targeted them?I thought about this but IIRC seers don't leave their houses, back in Super 7 I would go into a meditative trance in the comfort of my own home. So presumably they wouldn't walk up to a werebear to get ganked?
Agreed. Bluarian is 100% scum.How many times do I need to repeat that the flavor of Toaster's kill doesn't match a Demon here?

Right, but Werebear was an SK in Supernatural 7 (but never got a chance to attack as anything other than a Zombie)Perhaps BluarianKnight ate Toaster's heart when Toaster targeted them?I thought about this but IIRC seers don't leave their houses, back in Super 7 I would go into a meditative trance in the comfort of my own home. So presumably they wouldn't walk up to a werebear to get ganked?
Also there's no precedent I know of for reviving someone who wasn't a werebear as a werebear, and no reason for a werebear to claim survivor.
I am very convinced Lucky and Blue are both newb scum who have no idea what they're doing.
Which makes me very confused why you would actively want this.
Org is easily found, his body lying in a pool of black blood in the courtyard before his house. A large chunk is missing from his neck, and long scratches extend down his back. His face is twisted into a horrific rictus that could almost be called a grin. Cautiously, you search his house. Demonic symbols cover inside of the house, many painted in what seems to be blood. You're not sure what sort of Demon possessed him, but whatever he was it wasn't very pleasant.
“It seems that NUKE9.13 was burned to death last night. Her house caught fire. We’re not quite sure how, there seems little evidence to go by. But we can only assume that foul play was the cause.”
“IronyOwl was a Witch, a practitioner of ancient magics. And while I usually do not mourn the death of a heretic, he does not seem to have been working for the Vampires. I hope we do not feel his loss too keenly this day. I’m not sure who murdered him, but the blow that shattered his chest was powerful indeed. I imagine he felt little pain, at least.”
The room is splashed red with blood. Scrolls and books like scattered about, soaked and ruined. The body is in tatters, with little recognizable beyond a few fingers and the head. Oh, gods, the head. Eyes open in unimaginable horror, and stuck upon a candlestick on the desk. You're not sure what could have done this, but you all pray that whatever it is leaves you alone! From the various books and and such in the room, you deduce that he was a Warlock. Shame, if it were anyone else perhaps he could have determined what happened.
JanusTwoFace does not join you this day. Concerned you all go with the town watch to his house. It’s obvious, form the smashed front door, that something is wrong.
Inside you find his body. Beaten, broken, lying in a pool of blood. Whoever did this was brutal and excessive. He probably died long before his attacker was finished.
“BlackHeartKabal, or what is left of him, seems to have been eaten. However, we should not mourn him too much. It seems, based on a series of tattoos still visible on his neck that he was a host for a Devil. No doubt here to cause mischief, or worse.”
“We also lost Thrakor last night. I’m...I’m not sure who killed him. He looks like he was beaten to death with a club or something like that. Nor am I sure why he was killed, although I know he was innocent of the crimes that have locked you here. It seems he was a Priest of the old gods. I have a feeling we will miss is wisdom and guidance in the days to come.”
Werebear I would expect clawmarks, but you do raise a good point that the kill flavor for werebear I don't believe has been previously established. But reviving as a werebear makes no sense to the flavor of a werebear, so its extremely unlikely that Blu is one.How many times do I need to repeat that the flavor of Toaster's kill doesn't match a Demon here? And if he's not a Demon, you need to argue what other SK he could possibly be here.Werebear?
Do you want Toonyman to think Blu is an SK and not a wolf? Because otherwise you going after me for this one seems a bit odd here. It doesn't match the demon's flavor, so Blu is not a demon if he killed Toaster. Its as simple as that. Yes that means Blu is scum.How many times do I need to repeat that the flavor of Toaster's kill doesn't match a Demon here? And if he's not a Demon, you need to argue what other SK he could possibly be here.And how many times do I need to repeat that Blue's actions means he's either wolf or SK. "Oh that doesn't match the demon's flavor boo hoo" doesn't actually matter because if you think he can't be an SK then he has to be a wolf with Lucky and Lucky did the kill. Simple as that.
I'm bitching at you about it because so few people are actually voting for blue, despite him being the objectively better choice of the two (presumably has a power role vs Lucky expending all of his) and because on the off chance you're wrong Blue is still an SK while Lucky could be innocent in that case.Do you want Toonyman to think Blu is an SK and not a wolf?

What I'm imagining Magus Chat looks like:LOL!
Night 1
IcyTea "I will convert Lucky so I can possibly get Blue as a 2 for 1 deal! The towncore players will all suspect each other! It's marvelous! Teeheehee!"
*does conversion*
IcyTea "Okay listen up, I want you two to lurk your fucking asses off. Don't make cases, don't do shit. The town will rip each other apart!"
Lucky&Blue "Aye-aye sir!"
Day 2
IcyTea "I'll just sideline and not get voted by anybody..."
Lucky "...lurklurklurklurk..."
Blue "...lurklurklurk..."
IcyTea "Lucky get in here! Toony said he'd vote with you in the thread!"
Lucky "Whatever you say boss!!"
Night 2
IcyTea "Okay that went well. Tomorrow I want you two to do exactly the same as Day 2. I'm gonna be a bit late today so make sure not to post anything until I'm back.
Lucky&Blue "Yes sir!"
Day 3
Lucky "Where's IcyTea? I don't read anything I guess I'll post!!"
Blue "Me neither!"
*Lucky and Blue post furiously*
Okay Persus. Please explain for me, because to me, it makes perfect sense:Read my last post.
Why did BluarianKnight cover for Luckyowl? Why did Luckyowl accept BluarianKnight covering for them? Who killed Toaster?
The flavor is consistent with a Devil deal kill. One player is known to have been given a Devil deal. One player was revived by said player. That player claims to have blocked the Devil deal player. Then that player claimed to have blocked the dead player.
What are they?
Killing blue or Lucky doesn't make a difference, killing the Dark Magus to deny their abilities does.I'm bitching at you about it because so few people are actually voting for blue, despite him being the objectively better choice of the two (presumably has a power role vs Lucky expending all of his) and because on the off chance you're wrong Blue is still an SK while Lucky could be innocent in that case.Do you want Toonyman to think Blu is an SK and not a wolf?

The Dark Magus has a revive. We have CONFIRMED scum. If we remove them, the Dark Magus cannot use their abilities and kill.The Dark Magus gets one more night of using abilities. Exactly one, of which they will use exactly their supersaint ability on the other outed wolf.
By killing the converts, you remove the Dark Magus' abilities.
Am I lost here?
Also Lucky why aren't you voting blu if you think he's an SK?
SK is an important chop here because they can swing the game against the town hard if they miss scum with their kills.
Persus is right on that front. A dead Dark Magus can't do anything that night they're dead. So Lucky and Blue would be a spent Priest and a...scum Dreamwalker? They'd only be able to faction-kill one person and the Dark Magus wouldn't be able to use any of their abilities at night, pretty sure right Persus? You were in this exact scenario.Yeah, I was dead until the morning after and Toaster just had the factionkill.
The Dark Magus has a revive. We have CONFIRMED scum.

And apparently that fact is driving Persus into a frenzy despite the math still screwing over the magus.
Exactly! It doesn't matter. Honestly, the only person that it puts at risk is YOU. We literally only gain from it. Vector will be confirmed, ToonyMan probably dies Tonight.

Persus13
Your spirit reawakens after spending a while resting in the pocket dimension you reserved for you soul in case of your death. With a sparking of power you reform, your body coalescing within your house.
You look regretfully over at the shattered Obsidian totem that served as the receptacle of your soul. It was expensive to make, and it will take some time to procure another. But it seems it was a wise investment.
You look out at the rising sun. The Ritual will summon you again, and this time the fools of this town know who and what you are. You will need to be clever to avoid the Mark of Justice a second time.
This is very true.The Dark Magus has a revive. We have CONFIRMED scum.

And presumably you're also 100% sure that Blue is an SK. Getting rid of the SK right now is more important than a wolf because SK+wolf = potentially two dead townies and a massive scumsided swing.Also Lucky why aren't you voting blu if you think he's an SK?
SK is an important chop here because they can swing the game against the town hard if they miss scum with their kills.
Because I'm 100% sure Vector is scum.
I'm pretty sure the Dark Magus cannot use any of their abilities while dead during the night. They only come back the start of the next Day. The converts would only be able to use the faction kill. Why is this hard to understand?You're correct, but what's so hard to understand about "the Dark magus' abilities are actually just awful and will have zero impact on the game regardless of how many they use."
I'm pretty calm here, actually. You seem to be the one agitated here.Uhh... yeah?
Technically, this is really more of a you problem.I'm pretty calm here, actually. You seem to be the one agitated here.Uhh... yeah?
Because if you're wrong you're going to get me killed over some fucking asinine "oh we can't possibly let the Dark Magus get off one more of their useless actions" shit because if you're wrong, blue is an SK who knows they can't win and likely spite-kills me tonight for calling them out. And I'd rather not lose because the town wanted to fuck around and try and find the magus for no mechanical advantage.
I mean you're not wrong.Technically, this is really more of a you problem.I'm pretty calm here, actually. You seem to be the one agitated here.Uhh... yeah?

And I'd rather not lose because the town wanted to fuck around and try and find the magus for no mechanical advantage.
Yeah screw off claimed survivor.Hopefully.
I'm pretty sure Blue is just scum and claiming the kill Lucky performed. There's no SK so don't worry I'll be dead tonight not you 4mask.
Because if you're wrong you're going to get me killed over some fucking asinine "oh we can't possibly let the Dark Magus get off one more of their useless actions" shit because if you're wrong, blue is an SK who knows they can't win and likely spite-kills me tonight for calling them out. And I'd rather not lose because the town wanted to fuck around and try and find the magus for no mechanical advantage.So you don't have a problem with losing when we lynch Lucky or Blue tomorrow and that randomly kills you. Because that's more likely at this point.
Okay, here's the only problem with your scenario, Persus: It's either TricMagic, IcyTea31, or Caz.Never tell me the odds!
So, we have to determine which of these three is the Dark Magus. It's a 33% chance to hit.
I mean I'm cool with lynching Blue and then dealing with Magus bullshit tomorrow, but might as well figure out which of the three is the Dark Magus while we're here right?I'm okay with this. I think that's the point.
I disagree. You're harping on flavor and I understand where you're coming from, but we only have a single demon kill on record so you can't actually know for sure what the full range of demon flavor is (look at devil and ghoul flavor, it comes in many varieties). And it doesn't even match devil kills fully, devil kills don't muck about with fancy things like tearing out people's hearts. \While I think some of the things said there have wolf equity, other things said there have hella SK equity (literally explaining his thoughts that he thought Toaster was the converter) and I'm more willing to risk being randomly offed by rune of calamity than I am the (in my mind) much more likely chance that blue is just an SK.Because if you're wrong you're going to get me killed over some fucking asinine "oh we can't possibly let the Dark Magus get off one more of their useless actions" shit because if you're wrong, blue is an SK who knows they can't win and likely spite-kills me tonight for calling them out. And I'd rather not lose because the town wanted to fuck around and try and find the magus for no mechanical advantage.So you don't have a problem with losing when we lynch Lucky or Blue tomorrow and that randomly kills you. Because that's more likely at this point.
How about I promise to protect you tonight? Will that make you willing to hunt the Dark Magus?I'm fine hunting for them but until Icy claims there's not much to really go on, and even once Icy claims... eh? It's basically between whatever Icy's claim is and two players who've essentially claimed no action, not much to go on mechanically and all of them have decent Dark Magus equity.
I mean...mechanically the Dark Magus could be more than just TricMagic, Caz, and IcyTea.You also forgot me, I could also be the Dark Magus. In fact I'm more likely than either you or Web because both of you have mechanical reasons not to be magus (web was supposedly RBd and confirmed Vector's role, you have a preestablished alibi for your D1 protect) whereas I straight up don't beyond "eh, maybe toaster inspected me?" which he's not here to confirm or deny.
They could be me or Web. It can't be Vector because Web is mechanically clearing them, unless they're both in cahoots (which looks basically impossible).
There's nothing clearing Web and there's nothing clearing me either. We're just cleared behaviorally.
The same way I think Caz and TricMagic are cleared behaviorally.
I understand why you don't want to vote IcyTea even though I'm 99% sure they're the Dark Magus at least.
Also Dark Magus open-claiming survivor would top pretty much any gambit I've done in the past, and that's saying something. It's a fun take, though.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Webadict is probably a real Thief, he was converted by Vector on N1. He knew I was probably a Wizard because he checked me probably on N1? Then he does the factional kill on NQT.
Vector is Dark Magus and is bullshitting a case on Lucky the newb for a lynch on them today. They convert Webadict on N1. They do something else on N2 since Web is performing the kill.
Blue is res'd as a SK Devil and killed Toaster. Why wouldn't Blue just fake-confirm they blocked Webadict? It would be an easy out, doesn't matter what kind of third-party they are. It makes no sense to me...
IcyTea, Caz, and Persus: I need some insight on this. Lucky is impossible to understand, Blue's claims make no sense, TricMagic is super bad, and 4mask just cares about surviving.
I'm not saying I believe this is true, but I don't want to get blindsided by how simple lynching Lucky or Blue seems.
I'm NQT's Coven Witch buddy. We've been loosely coordinating our play since I replaced in.Adds up:
Also if I die tonight, I'd just like to say: don't lynch Persus.
So, let me get this straight. We're claiming that:One possibility is that web is the DM and used the factional kill, leaving BK possibly innocent if Luckyowl's revival failed. BluarianKnight's behaviour is off, though, so I'm fine with lynching them, especially because as noted by 4mask, being wrong on this and lynching a survivor won't hurt the LYLO clock.
Dark Magus blocks Web.
Lucky uses kill on Toaster.
BK uses factional kill on NQT.
Is that right?
- Did not deny being the Devil despite being frequently assumed to be such.I ignored the rolefishing.
- Heavily focused on "lynchableness" D1 rather than looking for scum.Funny you didn't ask this earlier. By "lynchable" I mean "scummy or anti-town enough that I wouldn't mind lynching them".
- Has been tunneling me all game as scum - or - cop on little evidence, straight out of RVS.Citation needed on the tunneling part; I've pushed other players. And I still think your prior low-profile play fits the scum-or-cop archetype.
The strategy of low-hanging fruit + tunneling a hard-to-get vet is an optimal low-effort strat. for scum.I'd like anyone reading this to go through my posts and then try to honestly say that this has been my strategy.
I disturbed the grave but didn't actually try to reach out after all, because I was worried that Blu would rezz scum.This makes no sense. You disturbed a grave (took action) but didn't contact BK (didn't take action)?
It was less that I didn't want my power role revealed because I thought I would be a scum target, rather I didn't want to help any scumteam PoE a vig or cop by ruling me out.
That's an extremely clever idea, but not one I thought of.I was going to vote you in this post for lying about communing with Jim, but at this prompt I tried to put it into a timeline:
So, the idea would be that someone converts me N1, I disturb Blu's grave, I'm scum for all of D2, I disturb Jim's grave, I get a kill, I use the kill, and my Dark Magus buddy who converted me did the main NK on NQT?
I'm very convinced that Luckyowl, Webadict, and NQT are town.Considering D2, Luckyowl being there is both surprising and unsurprising. After such a tunnel, you can probably read what he ate for breakfast today.
Now that I think about it, I need to ask Meph if a Devil can be converted. He explicity marks Jim as a "3rd party Devil" in the OP.Why is that relevant, when the flip shows us that it didn't happen?
Here's what I'm thinking:This is a sensible case, probably the only one with scum!Vector, though from what I've understood, Toaster's death flavour doesn't quite match an SK. It still leaves BK as the lynch for today, though.
Webadict is probably a real Thief, he was converted by Vector on N1. He knew I was probably a Wizard because he checked me probably on N1? Then he does the factional kill on NQT.
Vector is Dark Magus and is bullshitting a case on Lucky the newb for a lynch on them today. They convert Webadict on N1. They do something else on N2 since Web is performing the kill.
Blue is res'd as a SK Devil and killed Toaster. Why wouldn't Blue just fake-confirm they blocked Webadict? It would be an easy out, doesn't matter what kind of third-party they are. It makes no sense to me...
IcyTea, Caz, and Persus: I need some insight on this. Lucky is impossible to understand, Blue's claims make no sense, TricMagic is super bad, and 4mask just cares about surviving.
I am a dirty no-good Thief. I can confirm that Vector is, indeed, a graverobber. I'd know one anywhere. They cannot be the Dark Magus.
Vector is definitely a Warlock. Vector's claim matches everything I've seen.Web/Vector is a team I've marked as unlikely, and as there were multiple disturbances on BK N1, I think Vector being a warlock is possible. However, since I can attest Vector did not visit Jim's grave (or anyone's) N2, this would make them the convert performing some other action.
Luckyowl did not use their power to kill me, the person they suspected.This leaves the question of why Luckyowl claimed the devil visit at all.
Luckyowl is a bad guy that killed Toaster.
Vote Luckyowl for elimination.
Honestly, that's a pretty Level 1 read if I say so.
Okay, here's the only problem with your scenario, Persus: It's either TricMagic, IcyTea31, or Caz.Could you restate how you've cleared everyone else? TricMagic is unlikely, Caz I agree is possible.
So, we have to determine which of these three is the Dark Magus. It's a 33% chance to hit.
Launch blue again and see what role they are.Not a terrible plan due to the LYLO clock point, but the first point is never true.
If they're an SK we take a good hard look at Vector and webadict.
If they're a survivor we've still pushed back the LYLO clock one day (survivors count as wolves for the LYLO clock, a phrase I'm sure I'm not going to regret later) and we just launch Lucky sky-high.
I'm not the SK - nor converted. I said the truth, and I'm being thrown under the bus because of it.Then who killed Toaster.
Why did you block Toaster last night?
I considered Vector/Web but it's a long shot... like how would they know Blu was rezzed as a serial killer?The same way town are looking at that possibility: behaviour. The difference is, they'd know Blu is an SK because in that world they're the scum.
You think Vector came up with a plan on-the-fly N2 after Jim died that they're a dreamwalker and Lucky took the kill except that actually happened?Could have made that plan backwards at the start of D3.
I think Lucky and Blu are just panicking and being bad bc they couldn't handle the stress of continuing to post in the thread all game, decided to lurk all day to avoid suspicion (probably told to, as you said) because when they're actually in the thread it's a garbage fire of contradiction.You realize that in the world where Lucky and Blu are told to lurk, they are in fact scum?
Icytea: You want to weigh in on all of this?See, well, this entire post.
I disturbed the grave but didn't actually try to reach out after all, because I was worried that Blu would rezz scum.This makes no sense. You disturbed a grave (took action) but didn't contact BK (didn't take action)?
It was less that I didn't want my power role revealed because I thought I would be a scum target, rather I didn't want to help any scumteam PoE a vig or cop by ruling me out.
How does this not make sense? They actioned to open the link but then didn't post in the quicktopic/PM?, is how I see this. So they could be confirmed by the grave disturbance but avoid being outed, like Vector claims... This seems like a dumbtell Icy.But they knew that Luckyowl, if truthful about being a priest, would disturb the grave anyway, so it wouldn't confirm the action. What's the motivation here?
Vector/Web/Lucky/Blu.How do you get Vector, Web and Lucky/Blu, into a team with a single converter and one converted or double-converted via revive? There's only one scum in the beginning and only one conversion shot.
Vector/Web/Lucky/Blu.How do you get Vector, Web and Lucky/Blu, into a team with a single converter and one converted or double-converted via revive? There's only one scum in the beginning and only one conversion shot.
How about the following as mechanically possible?
Caz/Lucky/Blu
Vector/Web; SK Blu (unlikely due to kill flavour)
4mask/Lucky/Blu
Web/Lucky (peek Vector N1, convert Lucky N2; Blu third-party; town!Lucky would have lied about accepting the devil deal, and doesn't explain Blu chainsawing Lucky, so unlikely)
Toony/Lucky/Blu (unless I missed the wizard claim being somehow confirmed)
But from your point of view, Vector has to be scum due to lying about their actions?There's no lie, as long as Jim is a valid warlock target even without a grave, which is something I'm currently waiting for an answer from Meph on. Looking at the possibilities, however, Vector is only scum in two unlikely scenarios: there being two devils or Blu being an SK with strange kill flavour.
So are we lynching Blu today and hoping for more information to crop up in the night's actions?I don't have a problem with that, though there's still plenty of Day left to see how things go from here once the other players who were waiting for me to post see me.
Vector and IcyTea's claims contradict. Webadict's claim clears Vector.Vector's claim: communed with Blu N1, communed with Jim N2.
For a moment you see his true form before you. A hellish Devil, surely sent from the underworld to perform dark deeds during these uncertain times.I went back and checked the flavor and it looks like Devils indeed leave no bodies, or are at least flavored to.
With a roiling cloud of black smoke he vanishes from sight, leaving only the thick smell of brimstone hanging in the air.
@IcyTea:Yes, except in the world where webadict is the Dark Magus and converted Vector.
Doesn't that mean that Webadict is confirming that Vector isn't the Dark Magus if Vector went to Blue on N1?
@IcyTea:Yes, except in the world where webadict is the Dark Magus and converted Vector.
Doesn't that mean that Webadict is confirming that Vector isn't the Dark Magus if Vector went to Blue on N1?
Okay...so how are Lucky and Blue both mafia? Are you saying Lucky's res failed so hard that Blue flipped to mafia?@IcyTea:Yes, except in the world where webadict is the Dark Magus and converted Vector.
Doesn't that mean that Webadict is confirming that Vector isn't the Dark Magus if Vector went to Blue on N1?
How would Vector visit Blue's grave on N1 if they're Dark Magus? Web and Vector can't both be lying.By being the convert.
Okay...so how are Lucky and Blue both mafia? Are you saying Lucky's res failed so hard that Blue flipped to mafia?In that world, Lucky is town and revived Blu as an SK. Doesn't explain why Blu would defend Lucky so hard, but the original accusation against Lucky (that he accepted the devil deal) would come from Vector i.e. scum.
IcyTea's softball counter claim feels very scum!IcyTea to me. They've been calculative this whole game.I don't think you've ever played in a game with me as scum. Where is this metaread from?
Playing you when you're town.IcyTea's softball counter claim feels very scum!IcyTea to me. They've been calculative this whole game.I don't think you've ever played in a game with me as scum. Where is this metaread from?
Even a serial killer who got converted on revive. Or monster hunter if they don't die on conversion, though given they were dead already... Dreamwalker is a role that can be falseclaimed because you never got anything.I'd still like to hear from Icytea.True, but why would Bluarian cover for Luckyowl like that?
Also keep in mind when reading 4mask's posts that 4mask has strong reasons to want to kill Blu because they're the main person who can cause them to lose.
Luckyowl was definitely converted. Bluarian is part of the team. Blue is the unknown factor because we are 99% sure that Luckyowl was a Priest. Bluarian could be anything.
How many times do I need to repeat that the flavor of Toaster's kill doesn't match a Demon here? And if he's not a Demon, you need to argue what other SK he could possibly be here.Werebear?
What I'm imagining Magus Chat looks like:

As a monster hunter, the converted blue targeted the heart. Saying he lost his abilities and gained a roleblock is a good fakeclaim, given the Magus can do that.
Don't question it.As a monster hunter, the converted blue targeted the heart. Saying he lost his abilities and gained a roleblock is a good fakeclaim, given the Magus can do that.
What are you smoking? Bluarian died and literally flipped dreamwalker.
Because if you're wrong you're going to get me killed over some fucking asinine "oh we can't possibly let the Dark Magus get off one more of their useless actions" shit because if you're wrong, blue is an SK who knows they can't win and likely spite-kills me tonight for calling them out. And I'd rather not lose because the town wanted to fuck around and try and find the magus for no mechanical advantage.So you don't have a problem with losing when we lynch Lucky or Blue tomorrow and that randomly kills you.

Morning air and sleepythought. K, so that's true. So who did the other kill?As a monster hunter, the converted blue targeted the heart. Saying he lost his abilities and gained a roleblock is a good fakeclaim, given the Magus can do that.
What are you smoking? Bluarian died and literally flipped dreamwalker.
Of note, 4mask likely isn't dark magus at this point outside of WIFOM, as they need to kill me with Supersaint to actually win the game with just themselves left. Or manage to lynch me. Anything else is a draw. Assuming Supersaint can kill a knight.
Morning air and sleepythought. K, so that's true. So who did the other kill?
Tric pass me the leaf.HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX.

How's it feel 4mask that the last day of this game is going to have TricMagic as a part of it? Do you think they'll vote correctly?

As is I'm more likely to go for an Icytea vote if things go normally than a Caz vote. Especially since Caz has 2 days to get a dreamwalking result, though I doubt he'll live to see those days. If alive that means they could happen upon a mafia result, and they can't turn a lynch onto me as easily.I am assuredly dead tonight, unless scum want to pin me as Dark Magus, but then that gives me a chance to stop their kill tonight.
Webadict guessed correctly I was a Wizard before I even claimed. If Webadict was Dark Magus why wouldn't they have killed me last night? It's too risky to leave me alone. The only way this makes sense is if Webadict was not actually sure what role I was (in other words, they were lying about guessing my role during the second half of D2) and used the Dark Magus role-investigate two-shot ability on me last night while...Vector and Blue performed the kills? But Lucky claimed being Devil visited on Night 1, there is no one else that could have went Devilroid on Toaster.You know what they say, too many cooks spoil the soup.
There's too many liars if Webadict is Dark Magus.
Blue shouldn't have tried to cover for Lucky. I think scum team would have had a better chance of winning if they threw Lucky under the bus instead of Blue going insane and claiming the Toaster kill.
Whenever everyone is done discussing for the day I'm okay shortening.Same. Unless Icy has something to say.

But Lucky claimed being Devil visited on Night 1, there is no one else that could have went Devilroid on Toaster.I am most certainly a Thief. I am most certain that Vector is a Warlock. I am almost positive that Luckyowl and BluarianKnight are scum. I am fairly certain IcyTea31 is the Dark Magus. I guessed what you were based on your meta.

Why would Bluarian try to protect a town!Lucky though?It could be a bad fakeclaim that implicated Lucky by accident, or, even more out there, a deliberate action to implicate Lucky after blue goes down.
Why would Bluarian try to protect a town!Lucky though?Okay, in this hypothetical world, Bluarian tried to fakeclaim on Luckyowl... I think?
or wait, you think Jim is lying about Lucky taking the deal?Yes, in that world. I think.
I forgot about potentially implicating Luckyowl. It could be setting up a mislynch Tomorrow?Why would Bluarian try to protect a town!Lucky though?It could be a bad fakeclaim that implicated Lucky by accident, or, even more out there, a deliberate action to implicate Lucky after blue goes down.
It's THEORETICALLY possible but I don't think it's at all what happened. As memory serves until blue botched the fakeclaim Lucky was the one under pressure because nobody believed that he hadn't actually performed the kill. There was only a question of "is blue also involved in this" and all blue had to do was wash his hands clean of the whole thing if Lucky/Blue is t/w. Why set up a mislynch tomorow when you can have your mislynch today?I forgot about potentially implicating Luckyowl.

I'm not a part of the scumteam.Would you like to explain why?
Actually, I'm dead either way today - as double checking, I've got quite an impossible task in front of me.
Scum want me dead as well as town - they want my head.
Jack A.T. has not joined you.
The High Priest steps forward and into the center of the circle. "I have grave news, friends. I awoke with a terrible vision, that one of our faithful has fallen. And, to my sorrow, it has proven true. Jack A.T. was discovered dead in his home this morning, his body burned to nought but ashes and bone. We know now that he was a Wizard, using his magic to help protect us against evil. He shall be sorely missed."
The circle is smaller today. Jim Groovester is not among you.
The High Priest looks grim. "His body was found, burned to ash and bones. The same way that Jack died."
"He was a heathen, it is true, a Lone Witch practicing a nearly dead religion. Be he was a good man, for all of that, and I fear we will miss his council in the days to come."
It is Flandre who does not join you today.
The High Priest looks on, sadly. "We have lost another ally of the town this day. Flandre was a gifted Dreamwalker, as she had claimed. As with the others, she was burned to death last night. We have lost so many good people to this evil. You must stop them!"
notquitethere, however is not with you. The High Priest glumly reports that he, too, was found burned to death last night. He was a Warlock, and while his magic may be dark is seems he had the town's best interests at heart.
The next morning finds you all back in the circle once again. Well, except for Nerjin.
It seems that he, like the others, was found burned to death in his house this morning. The High Priest confirms that he was indeed a Seer working for the good of the town.
And neither Toaster nor notquitethere ever arrive.
But eventually the Count does show up. His face looks grim.
“We lost two of our own last night. Both pure of heart, and faithful defenders of our lands. Toaster, our Seer, was beaten to death and had his heart ripped out. Notquitethere, who seems to have been part of some Coven of Witches, was burned to death by some dark magic. Foul murders, both of them, and show that we face not a single threat but multiple.”
5/8 shortensCaz, Lucky, Blue, and Icy. So it's 5/9 people.
4mask, Tricmagic, Toonyman, Vector, webadict
Also, I told you so. To everyone except Toony, but especially to webadict.Okay, but you're a Survivor, so it still doesn't really matter.
Also, I told you so. To everyone except Toony, but especially to webadict.
I'm mostly harassing webadict and Toaster who explicitly disagreed with my "lynch Lucky" push on D2.Also, I told you so. To everyone except Toony, but especially to webadict.
You told me what, exactly?
Day 4 may finally be the day we lynch Lucky. *tears fill his eyes*We finally live in a society.
I'm not a part of the scumteam.Would you like to explain why?

Shorten
I've got a kill-a-day power, yes.If you're telling the truth we can't fully trust Webadict and Vector. We'll know when you flip.
Night will go for 24 hours, though that's somewhat flexible. If you do not have your action in within the 24 hours you run the risk of losing your action for the night, though. If you choose not to use your action, please send that instead of just waiting for me to get on with the night without you.
I do have interesting information. I apparently wasn't blocked. So, I've got juicy information.
IcyTea31 is...
Innocent. IcyTea31 did not do anything suspicious last Night, so that pretty much proves it's not IcyTea31. This means it's Caz or TricMagic.
Also, the flip Yesterday doesn't necessarily point towards a Luckyowl convert, but it does leave Persus13, TricMagic, Vector, or Lucky as the Convert.
I just looked at some of the flavor from supernatural 7 and... maybe the Dark Magus can't be tracked at all?I do have interesting information. I apparently wasn't blocked. So, I've got juicy information.
IcyTea31 is...

Hold on: can't Dark Magus self-action? As in, couldn't they super-saint themselves without leaving their house?
You move silently through the town, using your magic to warp the senses of the people to hide your presence. No need to let them know that you are out and about, after all.
Eventually you make your way to 4maskwolf's house. You casually walk around the house, staff dragging along the ground. When the circle is complete you pull out a pouch and walk around the house the other direction, dropping shards of obsidian inside the circle as you go. That done, you pull out a small box and very carefully pull out the insect inside. Setting it down on the edge of the circle you watch as it makes its way toward the house. It grows in side as it gets closer, pulsating with dark purple magic. Finally it passes through the walls on its way to its victim, a mere image of an insect.
You smile to yourself. That'll be a rather exciting surprise for the town when 4maskwolf dies!
You cloak yourself in shadows and stroll down through the town. Off to where 4maskwolf spends his nights.
When you are close enough you pull out a small box from your belt pouch. Within you release a shimmering black spider. It dances between your fingers, weaving threads of darkness into a scintillating web that reflects the night sky above you. Power wells up inside you and you channel it through the web, casting its shadow out over 4mask's abode. With a sharp clenching of your fist you crush the web, causing the shadow to collapse into the building. You chuckle. Whatever power he may have, it will avail him naught tonight.
You pluck the spider off of your thumb and return it to its box and head back to your house.
You stand in a circle of power. The lines of energy drawn into this one are those of mind and soul. You wrap them around you, shape them, and then cast them out into your hand. The porcelain ball you hold shifts and changes as you fix your mind upon notquitethere. The orb cracks and shatters, the pieces flying apart and reforming themselves into new patterns. You study the new statue for a bit, consulting the book in front of you for meaning. It seems he is your enemy, a follower of the gods here, and a Warlock to boot. Not a major threat, that, with magic so weak it can merely contact the dead. But good to know what opposes you.
The energy dies down and you place the statue on a shelf. You have much to think about.
I'll wait to post my information until we hear from ICT and Caz.No graves were disturbed.
Also, the flip Yesterday doesn't necessarily point towards a Luckyowl convert, but it does leave Persus13, TricMagic, Vector, or Lucky as the Convert.Tinfoil: can we close out the possibility of 4maskwolf being the convert?

There's a theory that I was the N1 inspect, yes, and that that's how Toaster knew for certain I wasn't the converter.Also, the flip Yesterday doesn't necessarily point towards a Luckyowl convert, but it does leave Persus13, TricMagic, Vector, or Lucky as the Convert.Tinfoil: can we close out the possibility of 4maskwolf being the convert?
Didn't the cop soft them as benign? Please someone have that post handy. >_> *looks back at the hundred pages of play*
"Survivor" and "fallback lynch" are not words I'd like the hear in the same sentence again. Please don't.Also, the flip Yesterday doesn't necessarily point towards a Luckyowl convert, but it does leave Persus13, TricMagic, Vector, or Lucky as the Convert.Tinfoil: can we close out the possibility of 4maskwolf being the convert?
It's LYLO due to the Dark Magus' doublevote if 4mask is still a survivor. If he's the convert, it's MILO. Behaviourally, I've had little reason to doubt the claim, but he's pretty much the fallback lynch as the one guaranteed not to lose the game for town.
IcyTea (assuming Vector confirms they visited no grave last night)I could have blocked Vector if I were the DM, but that would also require webadict to be lying, or for the DM's block to be unfollowable, which is an unknown.
I dreamed about Toonyman, who apparently protected me. Which Vector can prove, no?
Vector is a medium, toony was a doctor, web is a tracker, assuming both web and Vec's claims are true.I dreamed about Toonyman, who apparently protected me. Which Vector can prove, no?
So that's your game? Vector, can you confirm this? I am completely lost on who's role does what. Vec is investigative, Toony protective? And Web a tracker.
Lucky~, anything to say?
Toony died at night however, so can't confirm this till tomorrow. One more day of survival if false.Vector is a medium, toony was a doctor, web is a tracker, assuming both web and Vec's claims are true.I dreamed about Toonyman, who apparently protected me. Which Vector can prove, no?

Web and 4mask are town-aligned by this point in my eyes, even if one is a survivor. Question, how would someone who checks if graves are disturbed not leave their house to check them?
Three reasons:I do have interesting information. I apparently wasn't blocked. So, I've got juicy information.

WHY wouldn't you check Lucky given that the convert has to do the kill?
1) BluarianKnight being SK does not immediately confirm Luckyowl is the Convert.
My ability is passive. The flavour is that I check the graves in the morning right before coming to the trial.Question, how would someone who checks if graves are disturbed not leave their house to check them?
First good point you made all game.
Am I the only one that remembered we need to get rid of the convert BEFORE the magus??Remind me why. As I understood it, the point of killing the convert is that it forces the scumteam to use their action on killing rather than support...which lynching them does just as well.
2) If IcyTea31 was the Dark Magus, I assumed they would Super Saint their Convert and I would Follow that.Why would this be a problem? You'd still catch the killer.
Lynch convert first, DM kills, lynch DM twice to win.Am I the only one that remembered we need to get rid of the convert BEFORE the magus??Remind me why. As I understood it, the point of killing the convert is that it forces the scumteam to use their action on killing rather than support...which lynching them does just as well.
Okay, so basically your comment is a no-win situation unless I saw Luckyowl do the kill. If I swapped to Luckyowl and saw nothing, you'd be yelling at me for swapping away from IcyTea31. I don't really see this as big of a deal as you seem to.1) BluarianKnight being SK does not immediately confirm Luckyowl is the Convert.
So you think LuckyOwl is town now???
True, but that's sort of a problem that would be better addressed before the Night starts as opposed to after it ends. If y'all want me to Follow Luckyowl, then it's a lot easier to do so when you say so.2) If IcyTea31 was the Dark Magus, I assumed they would Super Saint their Convert and I would Follow that.Why would this be a problem?

2) If IcyTea31 was the Dark Magus, I assumed they would Super Saint their Convert and I would Follow that.
3) I literally said I would Follow IcyTea Yesterday, and while I did consider Following Lucky as a gambit, I also briefly entertained Following ToonyMan or Vector to prove myself but ultimately realized that ToonyMan is dead 9 times out of 10 and Following Vector wasn't exactly gonna do anything to find scum.
So, yes, I did Follow IcyTea31. They didn't kill anyone. They're not the Convert. I thought that I'd be able to see both, but I didn't consider that the Dark Magus might not be trackable.
Okay, so basically your comment is a no-win situation unless I saw Luckyowl do the kill. If I swapped to Luckyowl and saw nothing, you'd be yelling at me for swapping away from IcyTea31. I don't really see this as big of a deal as you seem to.
My goal was to remove a potential suspect from both the Dark Magus and the Convert pool.
It is also entirely possible that I forcibly locked down the Devildeal kill by keeping IcyTea31 at home.
If y'all want me to Follow Luckyowl, then it's a lot easier to do so when you say so.
I'll wait to post my information until we hear from ICT and Caz.ICT and Caz have posted now. I'm interested in what you've got.
@Meph: What abilities could a Thief Follow for a Dark Magus? Can an ability that self-targets be Followed? If I have to ask privately, let me know.
Also, not all roles require the player to leave the house. Generally, magic sounding roles are going to work like Psychic roles in Paranormal. If your role does not require you to leave your house to use, you will be informed of this fact. Roles who don't leave their house cannot be role-blocked by the Guard, though he still protects them.
Meph: Would a thief see anything if they tracked a sexton?
Vec, what did Toaster have to say?How did you know this?
And if you knew this, why didn't you react when I said no graves were disturbed?Vec, what did Toaster have to say?How did you know this?
Literally the only sensible action if Vec is as they claim.Vec, what did Toaster have to say?How did you know this?
I dreamed about Toonyman, who apparently protected me. Which Vector can prove, no?So you basically got a PM of him putting up wards on your house or something?
@Caz: So, your idea is that Lucky can Devildeal kill and faction kill in a single Night, or...?
Genuinely curious here.
@Caz: Also, why do you not believe that IcyTea31 could also be the Convert instead?
You or Tric could be the Dark Magus, and have recruited IcyTea31, but you never considered that. Why not?
I dreamed about Toonyman, who apparently protected me. Which Vector can prove, no?So you basically got a PM of him putting up wards on your house or something?

You did neither. Oops!
Let's put it this way. You dreamed about Toony protecting you, he dies. Vector tries to confirm you, he dies. Your role isn't confirmable, and the only protector is dead. There is no reason you shouldn't be the lynch today Caz.
Unless you want to implicate Lucky in Toony's murder. (Which is at least possible, his actions yesterday weren't the best)
Vector tries to confirm you, he dies.I'm going to guess you mean Toaster, whose results Vector should have retrieved and I'm eager to see, but how would you know if Toaster targeted Caz?
What he's saying is that Caz's claim is fundamentally unconfirmable if Vector dies tonight, which is a nontrivial possibility in any scenario where Vec isn't a wolf and would always happen if Caz were a wolf.Vector tries to confirm you, he dies.I'm going to guess you mean Toaster, whose results Vector should have retrieved and I'm eager to see, but how would you know if Toaster targeted Caz?

Why would Toaster know about it? If Vecotr can confirm it it will occur tomorrow. And oh so coincidently he dies that night and Caz still turns up no info.

Wtf does this mean?
To note Caz, my role may not be confirmable without someone investigating me, but at least it's not an active role that should return results but never seems to, always promising more and more tomorrow. But it never happens.
A question to Meph again, don't auto actions go off along with any other night action? I seem to think they are the type of thing that always go off no matter what they are.
Why are you picking apart web's posts? That's the strange part for me, as I don't quite believe them scum.
The fuck? Why do you want me to hunt Lucky? If you think he is suspicious, you do it your damned self. Why are you telling me to focus on someone else when I pick apart web's posts?You implicitly implied I should be focusing Lickyowl, that IcyTea21 wasn't just confirmed not to be the Convert, and has likely just been confirmed as not the Dark Magus due to Vector and I confirming them.
Guess I did both.My goal was to remove a potential suspect from both the Dark Magus and the Convert pool.
You did neither. Oops!
I'm going to wait to vote until I actually here from Vector, but I'll probably be voting Caz.

You implicitly implied I should be focusing Lickyowl,I said you should have investigated LuckyOwl, which seems pretty obviously the most useful thing you could have done last night.
that IcyTea21 wasn't just confirmed not to be the Convert,2nd time you've said this without evidence.
and has likely just been confirmed as not the Dark Magus due to Vector and I confirming them.
Guess I did both.My goal was to remove a potential suspect from both the Dark Magus and the Convert pool.
You did neither. Oops!
Persus13 is a Witch with NQT. They're confirmed not the Dark Magus.Right, so just us three. I didn't do it obviously. Caz will say he didn't do it. Lucky will stay completely silent as we lynch him and supersaint will trigger, which implicates someone who's night wasn't confirmed. Toaster's info would be nice to have from Vector.
Caz... I'm not gonna yell at you, but you're fundamentally wrong.The fuck? Why do you want me to hunt Lucky? If you think he is suspicious, you do it your damned self. Why are you telling me to focus on someone else when I pick apart web's posts?You implicitly implied I should be focusing Lickyowl, that IcyTea21 wasn't just confirmed not to be the Convert, and has likely just been confirmed as not the Dark Magus due to Vector and I confirming them.

Excuse me? How have you confirmed Icytea as not the Dark Magus? You got no action result on a role that doesn't show up in action results. How do you spin this as confirming someone?Guess I did both.My goal was to remove a potential suspect from both the Dark Magus and the Convert pool.
You did neither. Oops!
Are you trying to take credit for Meph making a mistake in the PMs? WTF. You literally did not confirm anyone. You are lying.
Also I'm drawing a blank at why Web can't be the converted, anyone want to explain that one to me? On my list of 'magus possibles' I have Tric and web, but 'converted possibles' doesn't have web at all. Is that right or am I being dumb?
I honestly see no way LO is town right now.
Are you suggesting we lynch 4mask Caz?
Caz... I'm not gonna yell at you, but you're fundamentally wrong.
IcyTea31 can confirm themselves off of Vector and metagaming-wise by Meph, so they are NOT the Dark Magus. Vector is NOT the Dark Magus because IcyTea31 and I can confirm them. IcyTea31 is NOT the Convert because I can confirm they did not kill last Night, and it is very likely that the Dark Magus used their SS ability, unless you have information otherwise. The only one that isn't confirmed by them is me, but I fundamentally clear them no matter what.
Are you lost still? That means IcyTea31 cannot be the Dark Magus unless both Vector and I are both the Convert. And the only way they could be the Convert is if I'm the Dark Magus.
Technically, I could be the Convert or Dark Magus by actions, but it's also possible that Toaster clears me, in which case, you'd be eating some mighty tasty humble pie. Unless you'd like to say that IcyTea31, Vector, and I are all scum.
PS: I want to note that the Demon is not listed as 3rd-party.
... Caz, yes, I already mentioned this, but the blood in your eyes must make it hard to read.I honestly see no way LO is town right now.
Bear with me here because I just realised something important.
Why would a scum LO turn down a free devil kill? Lucky claimed they were offered it and declined. Vector claims Jim said Lucky took the kill (Jim lying?). No kill happened. In what scenario would scum choose to use roleblock over another kill? Unless we can find the answer to that, Lucky looks suddenly town. (and I'm starting to hate this game :D)
Cool, so it could be Web/Tric without requiring spanners. Please prepare this 'pie'.Okay. So, it's indeed not me and Vector then, and that would prove that IcyTea31 is not the Dark Magus or the Convert. And I 100% proved one of those things, which goes directly counter to your statement otherwise.
Also the only reason to convert Lucky was to use their priest power to convert more mafia members (unless they wanted Lucky for their... other qualities), yet Blu was resurrected as a demon. Does this make Lucky more or less likely to have been converted given that there's some flavour about 'pious priests' and whatnot? Do only converted priests have the chance of resurrecting demons? Or did Lucky get the worst dice roll? (Inclined to this one tbh, the dies in this game are cursed)Caz, is it possible that Luckyowl DID use the Devilkill and it hit the wards that ToonyMan set up?
Toaster still thinks that the flavor from his being killed was devil-based, not demon. He feels that the demon kill would have been a hell of a lot messier.
PS: I want to note that the Demon is not listed as 3rd-party.
If Lucky was converted he'd have been town when the Devil deal was made. He and the demon could also have both killed Toaster (which would make sense with the flavor).I honestly see no way LO is town right now.
Bear with me here because I just realised something important.
Why would a scum LO turn down a free devil kill? Lucky claimed they were offered it and declined. Vector claims Jim said Lucky took the kill (Jim lying?). No kill happened. In what scenario would scum choose to use roleblock over another kill? Unless we can find the answer to that, Lucky looks suddenly town. (and I'm starting to hate this game :D)
The argument is that the demon didn't kill because they didn't want to out themselves. Who do you think the town looks at when a random kill matching SK flavor suddenly pops up during the night? That's right, they immediately look at the recently revived player who openly claimed third party. You don't make that kill because it's as good as outing.QuoteToaster still thinks that the flavor from his being killed was devil-based, not demon. He feels that the demon kill would have been a hell of a lot messier.
so why weren't there 3 kills last night? Devil, demon, mafia. I still haven't seen an argument why the mafia would opt for a roleblock instead of a kill, ESPECIALLY if magus can't even be tracked while using the mafkill.
Okay. So, it's indeed not me and Vector then, and that would prove that IcyTea31 is not the Dark Magus or the Convert. And I 100% proved one of those things, which goes directly counter to your statement otherwise.
Well, okay, technically, IcyTea31 is only the not the Convert because I prove their not the Convert because the Sexton would probably still check the graveyard regardless of alignment.
Caz... You just make me shake my head.
Caz, is it possible that Luckyowl DID use the Devilkill and it hit the wards that ToonyMan set up?
The argument is that the demon didn't kill because they didn't want to out themselves.
I personally think it was a demon kill with different flavor than last time, though that seems to be an unpopular opinion.The argument is that the demon didn't kill because they didn't want to out themselves.
Ok, they didn't kill because they didn't want to out themselves, and then spent the entire day not playing or trying to help town?
You guys keep going on about the demon kill flavour being brutal, do you think if Toaster was night killed by both a demon AND a devil they would still be in one piece? Well, two pieces. My point is, they'd be in more pieces.
Yeah I really don't think that the devil kill was used. Unless the wolf team is Dark Magus web/convert Lucky which... no, that's literally never a thing.If I'm Dark Magus, then Luckyowl still is the Convert in that scenario, and that would indeed explain a doublekill and point towards me as scum. In that case, I still lose my partner by eliminating Luckyowl, and I'd be making the Mafiakill Tomorrow. I'd have to kill Vector, so I'd claim Caz killed Vector and then I'd win. So, technically, that's a possibility that isn't accounted for.
Also, I think that the kill on Toaster was a demon kill. There's only been a single demon kill in the entire history of the series and people are acting like it's the only flavor demon kills will ever have. Beating someone into a pulp and ripping their beating heart out of their chest strikes me as more demon than the devil hulk out style.
Perhaps, but Devilkills don't typically destroy hearts, which is an element of brutality beyond normal Devilkills. Honestly, it seems like you're just really against the idea of being tracked because IcyTea31 got cleared, and there suddenly less suspects.The argument is that the demon didn't kill because they didn't want to out themselves.

No, I'm now pretty sure that's the case. Luckyowl couldn't Devilkill N2, so they still have it.I personally think it was a demon kill with different flavor than last time, though that seems to be an unpopular opinion.The argument is that the demon didn't kill because they didn't want to out themselves.

So, Luckyowl either still has the Devilkill or they used it N3 and hit ToonyMan's protection target.
You're one of the remaining town info-roles if you're not on the scumteam.So, Luckyowl either still has the Devilkill or they used it N3 and hit ToonyMan's protection target.
You think the mafia tried to kill ME last night? Why on earth?
Assuming you're telling the truth about ToonyMan, perhaps they didn't want to take a chance on killing someone that was going to be protected by ToonyMan.So, Luckyowl either still has the Devilkill or they used it N3 and hit ToonyMan's protection target.

Honestly, it seems like you're just really against the idea of being tracked because IcyTea31 got cleared, and there suddenly less suspects.
Lucky taking the Devil deal is also assuming Jim is reliable, which I'm not sure why people are assuming a third-party who has lost already would be.
You're one of the remaining town info-roles if you're not on the scumteam.
If I'm Dark Magus, then Luckyowl still is the Convert in that scenario, and that would indeed explain a doublekill and point towards me as scum. In that case, I still lose my partner by eliminating Luckyowl, and I'd be making the Mafiakill Tomorrow. I'd have to kill Vector, so I'd claim Caz killed Vector and then I'd win. So, technically, that's a possibility that isn't accounted for.

You're doing that thing again where you claim you can clear people that you can't. How does a thief clear a dreamwalker?To the first, because if you're the Dark Magus, you have to kill. I'm able to Follow the faction kill, but I believe that Mephansteras did not say so in the post in thread. If it eases your mind:
Why am I the only one noticing that webadict has constantly lied and misrepresented throughout this day?
The Dark Magus has a double vote ability, so it could eventually be used to take you down, otherwise I'd be in agreement.

No, you don't win, I'm a knight so can't be nightkilled. At some point I have to be lynched for scum to win.
Note that tonight, Vector can visit Toony to see if Caz is lying, while Web follows Caz to see if he targets anyone.
This then means that either Persus or I are the Magus. However this only holds true if Caz is tracked continuously while we lynch our way down. If the kill occurs anyway.
You know, this is a bad situation. Web will likely end up killed via supersaint. Then Vector will die that night, leaving us with a dreamwalker saying I or did the kill, which can't be trusted. If this goes through, it's game over if I'm lynched, as a tie can no longer occur. Worst part is 4mask can easily assist to win the game, so it's 2-2. Kingmaker 4mask.
Pretty much every theory I've seen involving Lucky being on the scumteam involves him being converted. The conversion would have happened after the devil offer.Lucky taking the Devil deal is also assuming Jim is reliable, which I'm not sure why people are assuming a third-party who has lost already would be.
True, but why would Lucky turn down a kill action if they are scum? If they didn't take the deal, they're likely to be town, no? Or do you think even a town Lucky would turn down the deal?
A Thief follows you while Vector talks with Toony. By your own statement Toony protected you. If this is a lie, you get lynched, if not, you are safe from the lynch. If someone dies while you get followed, you are effectively confirmed town, since you didn't do the kill. Unless it's web, but in that case Vector lives and states what Toony told them.Honestly, it seems like you're just really against the idea of being tracked because IcyTea31 got cleared, and there suddenly less suspects.

The fact you can't even comprehend them getting rid of a dreamwalker is astounding Caz, you are a Russian Roulette of confirmation and scum-outing. Hence why Toony protecting you makes sense, and hence why such makes a good falseclaim today. Toony is dead after all.
Its also mechanically impossible for me to be the Magus.True, but that could also mean that Luckyowl lied about saying no when they took it so that no one knew they had it as a potential lylo breaker.Pretty much every theory I've seen involving Lucky being on the scumteam involves him being converted.

Except Supersaint, which means you get followed and likely lynched if web dies, unless Dreamwalker actually returns something of note. Toony protecting you is a decent guess that could happen.
How is it so broken, as in this scenario where LO is the convert you are the Dark Magus.

@Meph: Can a Thief follow the Mafiakill if a Dark Magus makes it?
All kills are in person, so yes.
True, but that could also mean that Luckyowl lied about saying no when they took it so that no one knew they had it as a potential lylo breaker.I'm not convinced Lucky would think that far ahead.
Wait, does this mean Lucky said they didn't take the offer before they were possibly converted? Or did that happen the same night? My brain is broken.Same night.
inception.
I am present and also town.
did your scum team told you to say that? or are you going rogue?
I am present, and again I am town. I won't be saying much since I hate day 1 and would only make myself look scummy eventhough I am town. If anything I will be useful for townies during the night phase. If scum kills me then at least you'll see I'll flip and my night action will still go through either way.
yeah, I work during the day and finish in the evening. So I'm mostly not here for a good while. When the game started on weds I came back to 7 pages of nonsense rvs and memefeast post that I didn't wish to give a 'read' on those sort of nonsense so I went off to play some M&B:2. Here I am and now it seems I'm up the chopping block. So I'll laid out a proposal. I am the priest and I think we should lynch webadict. Mainly for two reason. If he is scum, then we just outted a pretty terrifying scum player, if he is town then I can rez him at night bringing him back into the game as a more powerful confirmed town. It's a win-win in all account. A dead scum! Web is great and a confirmed town! web who was brought from the dead is even better.
I think the mafia team includes, you,Icytea31, and NQT. But I don't have anything solidfying those claims yet. Just a gut read. I personally wanted to stay quiet for two reasons. First I wanted go off and play games with few hours I have to myself and two I am afraid that I would get night killed all I hope is that someone can protect me as I res Web if he turn out to be town with his lynch. Sadly. I doubt anyone would join in with my plan, but it's the only way I can confirm myself as a town player by bringing a possible town player and make them a powerful confirmed town player. If we lynch a scum! Web then that too confirms me.
Why Web instead of TM? because I trust/distrust Web. He's too townie, but that also makes him quite terrifying as Web is always townie even when he is scum. So killing off web can bring my paranoia at ease knowing Web was either a scum in sheeps clothing or a town player who I can bring back from the dead and make him even more formidable. I would rather deal ToonyMan some other time.
Well...damn you're right. That too worries me. I just hope everything go as plan.
1. I mean, I have done that before in my first mafia game Paranormal 26. Where I said I didn't want to engage until day 2 then I ended up soaking up day 1 discussion. 2. Because getting a confirmed Town! Web back is better in my opinion. I mean lynching you is fine. But I'm more worried with Web hiding underneath the radar.3. well, if lynch Scum! Web and he is back in the game on day 2 wouldn't that just be backwards on my part?
oh my bad, not really sure. It's not easy to know just yet we would have to wait and see as the game progress. I mean, what does Vampire scum do on day 1? or what does a cult scum team do as well? probably the samething as any scumteam: act as town. So I'll answer your question with I don't know as I am not familar with this set up nor have a gut feeling on what type of scumteam we have.
But couldn't your fight had just been staged? I have to doubt everyone. Vector. Just because you fought with him doesn't mean all checks out. You know that very well.
Well, who do you think we should lynch who seem scummy? I'm up for JB,TRM or even SRD.
You're right, I simply don't trust Web or Vector under my beliefs. They are both fully capable of just faking a stage so the only way I can cut through the possible act is by doing something unusual like lynching someone who is seem townie since you know, the scum is going to try to act more like townie no matter what. But I'm fine with lynching a possible scum player like JB, TRM, or SRD then I can bring one of them back from the dead. Me personally, I wish to lynch TricMagic instead of JB. Because TricMagic engage with the game more than JB.
is all the vote piling onto me? well, there goes town rez. A damn shame really.
I think ToonyMan is the scum team. His playstyle remind me of SecretDorf in terminator. He tries to act like he's trying to help me out, but really he is trying to get me lynch. I already told you I worked today. Yet you ask me where Am I?
Why even vote Blue? wouldn't that just make me look scummy? look. Even I am going to lynch then just hammer me. I already role claimed and you'll see that I'll flip town.
I am going after him, because things are aligning for me. Why go after JB who look scummy? but is probably town? why go after paranoid Tric who is most likely town? Sure, there is scummy players who acts scummy. But good scum player try to act as town. ToonyMan is giving off that FBI agent vibe real hard right now.
fine, BlularianKnight. They have the same townie act from Vengeful mafia 14 and gave that sorry plead to not vote him.
You seem so quick to vote me out. 4maskwolf. Blu is has been rez he will speak soon. However I do have some troubling news to speak of. Before I went to Blu's grave I was visited by a voice who tried to convince me to give them my soul exchange for power. They even tried to say it will make me look town...I obvisouly decline the offer as I'm a preist and my role is to fix day 1 fuck ups.
wow, if you're town you're really trying to throw off a town victory. Sorry for not being here when I had other things to do?Why scum ignored me on night phase? probably to get me lynch on day 2 with bogus reasoning(seriously, we're all going to ignore that 4mask wanted me lynch because"if Lucky flip town, then blu is town..)...and I already voted 4mask, ToonyMan. but I'm might as well place my vote onto you..
Hm, so we're dealing with a converter? Well, that pretty much cross me off as a possible suspect. Since I brought Blu back from the dead. Sadly, it seems not as townie. From my understanding from meph explanation on how my one shot ability works. Is that I don't know if I'm pure or not. Which has nothing to do with my alignment. Also another tidbit. I ask Meph if my ability will trigger if I'm night killed and he gave more than what I asked and said that my night action is low on the pirority list so If I'm interuppted my night action won't go through. So if I were converted then Blu wouldn't be here.
The devil offer night kill, misdirections, and protect.
I can't..you know if I flip town and these ridículos claims are left here for people to see. It'll only make you look bad. There's better targets than me,Like NQT. Why, oh why would I create an eleborate or my "puppeteer" would create an convulted plan to lie about me rezzing? The fact you are thinking like this ironically makes me think you're town misguided. if I knew the devil deal was a neutral party and the deal was good for town as well. I would've accepted it and probably never mention it so I don't give the scum more info on what else I can do.
Persus13: The voice came when I was preparing to leave to the graveyard. Distrubing the dead is low on the pirority list. You can look at the OP order action.
I won't say no more. As I said I thought the devil was some sort of scum. I wasn't aware it was a neutral party. ToonyMan: Fine, you want to think I'm scum because I'm a compulsive liar. Sure. go ahead. luckyowl let's see if I'm lying.
Well, I'm gonna get lynch one way or another. At the end, I weirdly think ToonyMan might be town as he's trying his hardest to get me lynch. A scum player wouldn't have gone through extrme length knowing I'll flip town and they will have to justify their hard push onto me. Web is oddly passive, and I think town should think about that a bit.Overall, lynching me won't get us nowhere. But if that is how my townie brethen and scum want to go for. Then so be it.
Vote for who you think is scum. ToonyMan. If it's me then stick with that.
What more is there to be done?
Fine, unvote, Webadict. that's where I'm putting my vote.
Just gut-reading. But Web have been acting a bit too passive. It's a behavior that felt quite similar to his scum play in Vengekill 13 on day 1 and day 2ish.
I was pretty annoyed by ToonyMan bogus push so I went to play some games to calm down than make more of a fool of myself.
I think he's an uninform townie. But still, I got pretty mad by those weak reasons. I'm a lot calmer now. So yeah.
Why did I kill Toaster? Are you really serious about this? Lol. Let me ask you this, why would I even kill toaster? Right now, I'm putting 4maskwolf and ToonyMan in the same scumteam. ToonyMan has always been town-scummy to me and the only reason they did a hard switch on day 2 was because they knew my flip will ruin their reputation. So they enter day 3 and had me as a strong town only to be 'convince' that I am the scum through dumb reason. Obviously my death will only ensure a scum victory.
Bruh, Of course he is...
Haha, for real. If I did I would've protected NQT. I guess I'm placing my vote on Vector. For that ridiclous lie.
But that does make me wonder though. What type of deal Jim was trying to give me? He told me wanted my soul exchange for protect, role-block and night kills. If I knew the devil was a neutral party I would've accpet it and probably never bring it up and then revealed today that protected NQT.
Your case against me is laughable. Alright that's set. Vector, TM, and 4maskwolf. If I die that's pretty much it for town. TM is really wasting his time when he should be looking at Vector. Who is obviously lying or probably got some sort of tampered "evidence" by a scum player to cause this sort of havoc.
What? Well, I'm not the wolf? I thought we're dealing with cults?
Well if I'm lynch you'll see I'm telling the truth. But of course I'm being set up as an easy lynch so mafia can enter Mylo.
Nah, out of spite. I would've killed ToonyMan.
I'm town because I know I am town. I'm not sure how dark magus playstyle works. But I would go out of a whim and say Dark Magus is 4maskwolf and the convert has to be Vector. But I'm willing to believe that Jim gave Vector the wrong info to throw off the game for town and get me lynch for kicks. Or maybe a redirect? If that's the case then I think we might have a ToonyMan/Webadict. The second kill is obviously an SK. Which easily leaves blu as the SK.
Because the claim in my eyes is wrong. Therefore Vector is seems to be scummy. But again I'm willing to trust Web and say Jim is probably being unreliable for jokes.
Are you mad?! I haven't done anything last night. I refuse the devil deal and used my one shot ability to rez Blu. Why do we need a second devil? I pretty sure someone might be a third-party with a night kill.
Man, you're really trying to get me with this. Web? . Me and Blue are not working together. Yes, I revived him. But that is all I did. What he became after his revival is a mystery to me. But I'm glad he blocked me because this pretty much clears me of killing anyone. Expose Vector of possibly lying or Jim being a dick and the most important of them all. Blu couldn't have killed if he blocked me. This mean we are at MYLO and the scum is trying to push the lynch onto me. Right now I think we might have a Web/ToonyMan. Or possibly a Vector/Web.
From my point of view. I feel I can trust Blu for blocking me. I'm not sure what's his wincon, but hopefully it's a town wincon. Of course I still think Vector is scum who thought he could just lie like that and get away and the more he stay silent on it the more I feel like he is the scum. Webadict might be the convert who is trying to use flavor kill as a way to get me lynch. Honestly if he's town shame on him because they're more damning players like Vector's silence on my claim and ICT who haven't even claimed anything. The fact you're not pushing ICT as the possible killer is worrisome.
Oof. I just read through. Blu: ¿¿Why? ?
Well if he's SK. We might as well vote him out. At least it will give us sometime.
I still think Web and Vector are scum team. But that's only because I know I didn't take the deal and if I did I would've claimed that I took the deal today and would've protected NQT with it. But as I said many many times. I didn't know the devil was a neutral party.
He's been real quiet. Too quiet for my liking. But with Blu's claim on killing Toaster. I think he's just busy in IRL then scum lurking.
The Jig is up. Blue. They got us. It's all over./s
Blu can't be scum. . Why would he claim he killed Toaster as scum? He's definetly the SK. But scum? Not even. I'm still fine with lynching him as getting rid of third party is better than getting rid of another possible town. More likely someone other than me will get killed and of course the scum is going to try to push me for an easy lynch. Only three players have tried to get me lynch. Vector, Web, and ToonyMan. These fellow are hard scum to me. Web using flimsy flavour kill to make me the liar who accpeted the devil's deal. ToonyMan trying to push for my lynch early on and realize if I flip it'll make him look scummy so he tries to back off and even did fake "I'll vote whoever you vote." But changed it anyways. They started the day off as me being a strong town, but when Vector fake claim he automatically made me the scum. He wants to use pass games that I am a liar. But not for Vector? Who lied to Web as the scum in a 3 player game convincing Web that SD was the scum? But no, I'm the one who is lying. Yeah, no u.
Because I'm 100% sure Vector is scum.
Vector
I still think Vector is scum because I know I am town and he just lied. But now I am certain we have a vector/Web team. So when I flip town that'll show that Vector is lying. While Web tries to defend him claiming Jim probably lied. Which is WIFOM. Is Jim known to be a sore loser and lie?
LuckyOwl, do you want to repeat your claim that you didn't take a kill and didn't kill Toaster with it?
Vector
I still think Vector is scum because I know I am town and he just lied. But now I am certain we have a vector/Web team. So when I flip town that'll show that Vector is lying. While Web tries to defend him claiming Jim probably lied. Which is WIFOM. Is Jim known to be a sore loser and lie?
You really think scum would give up their supersaint to go digging graves and give up the possibility to control the lynch?
What am I saying, it's obvious you haven't even bothered to read the thread.
If Lucky was converted he'd have been town when the Devil deal was made. He and the demon could also have both killed Toaster (which would make sense with the flavor).I honestly see no way LO is town right now.
Bear with me here because I just realised something important.
Why would a scum LO turn down a free devil kill? Lucky claimed they were offered it and declined. Vector claims Jim said Lucky took the kill (Jim lying?). No kill happened. In what scenario would scum choose to use roleblock over another kill? Unless we can find the answer to that, Lucky looks suddenly town. (and I'm starting to hate this game :D)
Which means they would be rezzed as scum. Or third party due to botching the resurrection. Claiming day 1 was not a good idea lucky.If Lucky was converted he'd have been town when the Devil deal was made. He and the demon could also have both killed Toaster (which would make sense with the flavor).I honestly see no way LO is town right now.

If you look at the night action pirority you'll see that convert is first to distrubing the dead. So I wouldn't have been town if I rez Blu.
Lucky, if you actually think Vector and I are scum, like you have for the entire game, then you aren't paying attention. In order for us to both be scum, either IcyTea31 is scum or some really convoluted series of steps happened that still point to you being scum.
Your Devildeal was done before the Convert.
I don't think it is both Caz and Tric.
You accepted that you were roleblocked by a Vampire that never existed.
You did the kill Last Night.
@Tric: Persus13 is clear because they are a Witch.
Don't let yourself be fooled by logic!

I knew we were doomed when Lucky flipped town. I had Web in mind last night as the Convert, but I guess he played us too hard to think him DM. Well damn!Funny story about this: webadict's claim was weaker than it could have been, because he planned to claim to have tracked Vector to blue N1 before Vector actually claimed it but didn't get a chance to post until after Vector had claimed.
Good game scum team, and props to 4mask for his audacious claim.
I'm just going to have to policy lynch you in all future games.-sad 4mask noises-
...You SSed YOURSELF? Also two kills wtf.Well, I assumed I was gonna get inspected and die. Things just sort of worked out really, really well.
I ain't even mad. GG.
I made a lot of bad plays this game - not my proudest moment. Still was getting my feet wet with a real Mafia game on the forms - add that with a bit of family drama, and I was a mess. Surprised I made it so far - I should've jumped on the Web claim. I suspected he was giving me an Out, but I wasn't sure.Actually the opposite. I could use that as evidence you were scum and get you eliminated. The flavor I chose was slightly ambiguous but vampires have specific ways they roleblock. I just didn't realize that until I started looking back.
Well done Web, didn't see that one-- though now I think on it there were some clues. And 4mask, good claiming-- being super active in the thread sold it; I'm just going to have to policy lynch you in all future games.I actually converted 4maskwolf for that exact reason. Even if they were a Survivor, I figured they'd make it to Lylo and win. Them being an SK was a bonus, honestly.
I like to think I managed to pick up on Jim's inherent scumminess, even if it was a misfire on a devil. And giving Caz and Lucky another chance was absolutely correct.
I was right about Toony and Vector being town, and I was able to solidify Persus's Witch claim on my death so there was that.
Here's the Witch Chat (https://www.quicktopic.com/53/H/gQmvuh4CTdvRb).
And finally if there's one thing this game proves is that you should never shorten at LYLO...
Protecting Web over NQT on N2 was an utter failure on my part. I seriously couldn't decide between the two and picked Web last minute for defending me even though Lucky suspected them...That is what Town!web would do, so fair.
*sigh*You are the only person I owe an apology to.
Lesson 1: Do not try fakeclaims in a game you know little about. Lesson 2: Know Web's meta better. Lesson 3: Lynch Survivors if they don't have a day they need to survive to.That third lesson is entirely false.
Lesson 1: Do not try fakeclaims in a game you know little about. Lesson 2: Know Web's meta better. Lesson 3: Lynch Survivors if they don't have a day they need to survive to.1. Don't fucking claim Knight on Day 1. Pro Tip: Fakeclaim a juicy power role as a Knight to DRAW kills.
As a reader after I was dead, I did find it very puzzling how everyone just accepted that Web had cleared Vector, as if Vector needed clearing or that that was something he could do or would have made sense for him to do if he could do. What was I missing? Also ICT and Vector had contradicting claims but both were town, what was the misunderstanding?Icy and Vector weren't contradictory, just esoteric mechanics and mod error. Devils don't leave bodies, and thus lack graves, but can be contacted by warlocks regardless. The next one was mod error to not send Icy his PM.

What was I missing? Also ICT and Vector had contradicting claims but both were town, what was the misunderstanding?Well... I did rely on my claiming Vector to passively clear myself, and sort of lent my own towncred on them as well. It was sort of like an investment scheme, where we both look more Town by doing so, and I chain my own alignment clearing on them. It's tough to prove but my point it out now means it becomes part of my scummeta that I can't use as much next time.
After two games in a row of being burned by survivor claims I'm never trusting them again.
This... yeah. We make our own monsters.After two games in a row of being burned by survivor claims I'm never trusting them again.
and we come full circle to the reason why survivor claims get insta-lynched.

I considered a converted 4mask, which would have actually give town a chance, except they had a kill too rip. Can converts stop having kills too Meph?? It happens so often in mafia wins.
By the way Meph this is officially your longest game on Bay12.
Also the game flavor was great as always. Its why I keep coming back to these.Seconded, the flavor was excellent. Also, Meph apparently takes requests (within reason), so that's good to know for the future.
1. Jim will absolutely screw people just because
If there was a deadchat Vector would be grumping in it.
You guys CFDed me on Day 2 when I wasn't around.Being the other party I'm okay with you being lynched instead.
That was obnoxious.
Stop doing that.
You guys CFDed me on Day 2 when I wasn't around.It was maybe obnoxious but you made one of the classic blunders: never go up against an NQT when death is on the line. That third wagon vote on me was a misstep.
What does CFD stand for?Complete Failure Demonstration
30 minutes to go... so Juicebox!
If I'd have done nothing Lucky would have died, which would have probably been for the best to avoid the painful Priest uncertainty.Agreed. No Lucky after D1 would have been...different.
Did Caz get Tric's dreams twice in a row? That's the only possibility for N1 and N2 since everybody else had actions or was dead. That's so unlucky...Icy received nothing on N2 but yeah, super unlucky.
Is Lucky more of an asset to scum when they are scum or when they are town?Lucky was the only player that "pushed" a case on scum, Webadict.
If Luckyowl had been elimmed D1, I would probably have been elimmed D3 or D4. I just don't see how Toaster doesn't inspect me eventually in that scenario.If I'd have done nothing Lucky would have died, which would have probably been for the best to avoid the painful Priest uncertainty.Agreed. No Lucky after D1 would have been...different.
Okay, well,I put on my S game (for scum) for this. Also because I owed you for that 3p defeat :PQuoteIf there was a deadchat Vector would be grumping in it.
aside,
1. Notable Games Archive?
2. I will say that even though other players seemed to be very familiar with this format, this was very whackadoo for me compared to normal mafia, in an enjoyable way. I haven't been so sure that I was winning and actually being curbstomped in ... feels like forever.
Agreed.I actually think some changes to the Town roles to have LESS uniquely defined ones would be better. Werebear, Guard, and Knight could be combined. Priest, Exorcist, and Wizard could be combined. Just start combining them until they have a unique theme. Like, Priests are all about HEALING MAGICKS, and then they could resurrect, they could cure the sick, heal the wounded, protect against foul spirits. A Knight is all about WEAPONS and could be battle-scarred and ready to kill, they could have one last arrow to use, they could protect themselves or others, they could even lend out their sword to a trusted confidante. Doing all these helps make the game unguessable, because if someone claims a Knight, all you know is that their power relates to their abilities with a weapon. The many definitions available really give them only one real role now, but a Witch could already be in a Coven, or they could create a NEW Coven, or they could make potions to give away, or they could summon their own familiar.
Supernatural is supposed to be my test-bed for neat ideas that can be broken by everyone knowing how they work. So I really ought to be mixing stuff up and either majorly changing or phasing out the various 3rd parties and whatnot over time.
Even some town roles, like Priest, really need to be either reworked or phased out a bit. Too much meta-gaming goes on with them right now.
But I do have plans.
I didn't have a good defense against Lucky's plan.Is Lucky more of an asset to scum when they are scum or when they are town?Lucky was the only player that "pushed" a case on scum, Webadict.
And by push I mean lurked a lot then voted them for completely reasonable reasons (and ones he should have pursued further) then lurked some more.
His Day 1 plan on lynching Web to check and then reviving him...hoo boy if we actually listened.
Yes I lied. Doing that and seeing the resulting chaos was the most fun I've ever had losing though.
Luckyowl absolutely destroyed me on Night 1 with his reply to my deal and 110% didn't deserve what I did to him.

What does CFD stand for?Since nobody answered your question properly, it stands for Chinese Fire Drill.
I would be willing to tag-team the next Supernatural with some, er, balance tweaks if you'd like.
Great flavour, especially the ending one.

To be honest. I just hadn't have enough time to be active and the time I do have for myself I usually be with my people or playing games. So I am sorry, if my lack of activity seemed scummy. But life, man.It's not always about what you feel is right. It's about what you can convince others about what is right. In that way, Mafia is a game about the perception of perceptions. Whose perceptions are fundamentally flawed because they are Mafia, and who can you get to perceive them as Mafia as well? If you can't convince people you're right, then it doesn't really matter if you are or aren't.
I honestly wanted to get lynched eariler because it would've easily make Web or ToonyMan scummy. My intuition told me that Web was the mafia when he tried to defend Vector. I'm not sure why no one saw that. But this is what I mean when town should outguess the mafia. Anyone who is trying to be perfect town is scummy. A real town player is unsure and are more likely delve into wild theories or make little mistakes here and there.
My intuition told me that Web was the mafia when he tried to defend Vector. I'm not sure why no one saw that.Then post saying that and vote him!! I can't agree with someone who isn't pushing any cases.
Lucky, if you're town this is the most important day of your life.
You need to explain to me why you're town and who is scum.
Who is the Dark Magus?
Who is the convert?
Where is the second kill coming from?
If this is all a ploy to deceive town and cause us to mislynch you I don't think we can recover from it.
If you are playing to town's wincon you will take this seriously and answer me.

Yeah, you're right on that. I think it's my unwillingness to build massive cased as those can be drainning to do. Instead I prefer to give my opinion on the game. But the problem with that is what you said. It's not convincing. At the end. You were able to get people to overlook your odd defensive case on why Vector is town no matter what because I was too lazy to go in depth on why it looked so scummy. How your whole case against me throughout the game felt force and ridiclous. Honestly the best move was too lynch me on day 1. So I wouldn't have brought back a demon and it would've made you and ToonyMan look scummy.
