Normally I'd write a post bashing sigtexts but I'm sleep deprived and can't be arsed

Pfft, what is this? Everyone knows you have to work on American time on the Internet, so get to it.

Muy Importante

But it's so cold and dark and wet...

At least you're thinking about advancing the game. Some town-cred there regardless of your alignment

I'm sure someone claimed an ability to force flips to be true. I'd check but... phone and tired unsleep I think it was TDS or DA. Maybe Tolyk...

I win if Ragshake (or rather, Shakerag's Evil Twin) does not win. There seems to be an implicit "regardless of if you are alive or dead", but I'm not sure.

Flabort did cross out town-ally before naming me an outsider, so... Perhaps I need town to win too? That one is speculation though.

Seeing as I can't sleep again:

My wincon remains removing Ragshake from the game.

Why aren't you a lyncher then?
Also do you agree with the massclaim? Since [from my perspective] that seems the best way (even in the face of the mafia) to get coordinated here.

Massclaim at this point is... unpredictable, I think. 4mask has given us a list of roles, arguably confirmed when flabort admitted making a mistake in the number of townies. However, bastard kinda game, so the list may not be accurate, or 4mask is not town, the latter being exacerbated by 4mask's penchant for the gambit, so it may not actually be useful as a guideline.

Assuming it is: we know I'm the outsider, and Tumbleweed is town-ally, meaning there are 11 alignments up for grabs, and 4 anti-town players to grab them. Doesn't seem like terribly good odds for the town.

PPE: fuck it, ignore the previous two paragraphs PFP so no changes.

Massclaim as you suggest would be not useful at this point I think. 80 roles in the game with God knows what abilities attached split among... 10 actual players and a handful of NPCs? Even though we know my roles and DAs, there's still a ridiculous amount of room for someone to fabricate a role. If my suspicions of Tumbleweed being an investigation magnet are true, then we can't even rely on watchers/trackers or the like to confirm any particular claim

I'm presently bemused by DA's voting of Tiruin. I can't see that being a serious vote given he's basically saying "I have nothing but a likely flawed statistical analysis based on an incomplete data set and many, many assumptions to support my vote on Tiruin."

Like, seriously bro?

There're stuffs like pressure voting I've in my notebook that people do that sometimes to initiate conversation with others especially when the context is lacking.

Anything of content for him there?

Anything for the rest of us?

Mmm... Having thought about it a bit, it doesn't seem like a very good pressure vote for two reasons:

1. The purported reason for the vote was tremendously easy for the votee to dismiss it, which kinda defeats the purpose of putting pressure on someone.

b) You've been probably the most active player (haven't checked, but I read lots of your posts) so it should be - relative to all us lurky bastards - quite easy to get a read on you. The pressure would thus be better served on one of the other five implied suspects.

Might also be some distancing going on between you two. /thorough

Good lord too many things to reply to via phone. /not actually reading things... eventually

Anyway, most salient (other than DA's vote, so unvote, for the moment) was Tiruin's demands for my wincon.

One of my roles (reply... 404? has either my flip or a link to it, will correct that if it's wrong tomorrow. Late and tired) is an instant loss while Ragshake wins. Ragshake wins by being in the game, and he's in the game whether alive or dead, so yeah. I voted for 'im, no feckin' closer to figuring out how to remove him from the game.

Perhaps the new NPCs have something to do with it?/thinking out loud

Blankety Blank

Turn up the radio indeed. One of my favorite boss fights, and probably the most memorable part of the game.

It is unfortunately, at its heart, a mediocre cover shooter though, and the stealth mechanics are kinda OP after a certain point (and it can pretty much break the boss fight in the museum) the conversation stuff is interesting though, but a bit limited.

I think the devs have said there won't ever be a sequel though, which is quite sad since fleshed out mechanics would be pretty cool.

In saying that, I think the game may have been rushed a bit:
