@Toony re: cluing in two players via PM of night actions: if I felt I needed an insurance policy regarding who to tell about an action I’d probably just post it in thread. That would achieve the same result and nobody could lie about it afterward.

Even though not claiming miller (equivalent) is sus, that just makes me more confident web is town. It's just realistic behavior from him.

@FoU:  You think it's hector?  I dunno.  It doesn't feel correct.
Tric feels sus, but hector feels sharp, in a way I haven't felt from him before. He reads as reasonably town, just going by his logical behavior, but the vibe check is failed badly.

Sharp… like a fox!

I genuinely have no idea what you mean, could you expand on this? You sound like one of those horrible people who use fire as an adjective so… preferably in a way an old man like me can understand.

PPE: I think Tric just accidentally cleared hisself…
Disagree! Mine clearly states my alignment, so the clarity of the flavor might just vary.

T’be fair the scum might have been told the town PMs don’t necessarily explicitly say their town, so it’s quite possible this isn’t clearing anyway.

hector is terrifying me for some reason. I don't know why. Vibe check says 'RUNNNNNN' even if he's smiling and being his usual towny self. That's a serial killer right there, I'm telling you.

I'm scared enough of hector13. Maybe I'll reread and see if I can back up my gut.

rahw, I’m a scawy tigew.

As an fyi, I don’t think you’re voting Tric for policy, it’s just how the wagon started.

I understand why you’re voting Tric (self-voting and zero inclination to actually do anything constructive, tied with not indulging in his usual unusual behaviour) I just don’t understand why you’re voting him at this point in the game.

If he’s scum he’s got two teammates (unless there’re three rogue ones which would be a bit weird) and my expectation (unfairly, really) is for you to drive the game forward. Burden of proficiency and all that.

I’m not discounting that this is being done via PMs, but I also can’t take that into account ’cause I can’t see it, but you’ve always had a propensity to kind of go off on your own to solve the game. *shrug*

The BBC have given up apparently. The subheading for the past four or so votes has remained the same, they just update the number in the headline.

It’s at 10 now.

That doesn’t make any sense, because you could replace “Town” with “Dopp” and it doesn’t change the content of the sentence.

What does you voting Tric do for the town that hasn’t been done by the other players voting him? Are you sure enough of the remaining 9 players that your this is the most valuable resting spot for your vote at this point?

Me and Knightwing are superheroes to defend Jack, Jim, Max, Hector, Vector, and Urist from the diabolical clutches of...Tric the Magic and Web 'Internet Crazed' Adict?

You say you’re a superhero but your avatar is Dr. Eggman.

Tric, since you’re here, why don’t you tell us who is scum?

FoU can tell us who is town, then the game will be solved and we can all go home, once the Corp send some relief in like a thousand years.

I don’t think I’ve ever been down that way. England was never really on the cards as a destination, though my school apparently thought Alton Towers was a good end of year reward for whatever bizarre points game they were playing. I also went to London twice and did not enjoy it, but I was there on my own in stressful circumstances (emigrating) and the second time heavily sleep deprived because for some reason there were no flights for the time in the morning I needed to be there so had to get the sleeper train down, which is a misnomer, as there was precious little of that going on.

My point with policy voting Brits was it’s just as arbitrary for policy voting Tric for being pants.

And yes, PMs or not is NAI, I just wanted to make sure y’all knew I’m not interested. It’s like third parties, they can go… away.

I don’t know

It’s D1 you maniac

What do you want from me

I guess Hector is a little suspicious.



Also, in other news, my braces have been replaced with retainers.


They fucking suck.

It’s so uncomfortable, I can’t talk right, I’m fucking dying over here

Better than getting your braces tightened and being unable to eat anything which isn’t mush.

Also, what are you going to do to figure out my slot? All you’ve done is OMGUS a non-existent vote.

Also also, is it xenophobia if I am also British, but don’t like it?

Anyway…

You know me so well <3

I will also join you in foregoing PMs. I’ve played a handful of games which had neighbour-like QTs and the game basically devolved into a handful of the town playing the game in their QT, and I was bored shitless because I wasn’t part of the secret gang. There’s nothing that can be said in PMs that can’t be said in the thread.
I was thinking about PMing two players what I plan to do tonight, does this sound like a bad plan?
Man...  You're like 3 steps behind, Toony!  If you ain't PMing now, you're not utilizing the best tool in the game.  hector13 just wants to be part of the action.

hector13 wants the action to be in the thread where everyone can see it.

Anyway, to answer Toony’s question, unless the two players involved are mechanically cleared to you as town, it is a bad plan. I’ll toot me own horn and remind you that I was a townlock read for you in a game not that long ago, when I was a bad bad baddie.


Let’s go back to my original position and see how they respond.

It also makes us look like a team, so if you flip scum I’ll be faaaaaaacked.


Can anyone tell me what we’re going to learn from this slightly ridiculous bandwagon?

Really, the first person off the wagon should be Tric though. I’ve got no love for policy voting you dude, but self-voting in RVS is - as we see with the majority of the town voting you - tremendously unhelpful. Poke someone.

If they have access to devices with information against state propaganda, they have access to devices with information about Yevgeny Nuzhin, the guy who defected to Ukraine, was traded back to Russia in a prisoner swap, then promptly executed by the Wagner Group.

Again, though, at what point do you give up everything you have ever known, knowing your actions will probably result in punishment on whatever loved ones you have back home, and you’ll probably never be able to go back?

It certainly does not make the Republicans look good. They’ve tried 6 times despite very little changing to actually make a vote succeed.

This is the naked ambition of Kevin McCarthy expecting everyone to roll over for him the same way he rolled over for Trump, versus the naked ambition of a pool of Trumpettes trying to get cushy jobs on committees and have a little extra power in the House, rather than getting on with the job of representing their constituents.
