... I dunno.  Is it towny of you to explain why and how that caught your attention and why you asked that set of specific questions instead of any other questions or question sets?
I feel like my response was pretty normal though?

As for why the interest in dopplegangers, just because it is my first time seeing this role. The other roles are just reskined roleblockers or detectives and stuff, but doppleganger is new for me.


The alien furret bit made me think of the same thing NQT~

And what does that nomming message even tell you Imp?

Orz, I am not in any game related chat with anyone.

But I am curious, what's the logic behind calling me Agent? Or was that just a joke?

*rolls*
Would be nice if Pigeon comes online orz..

Do we need to poke him more?

Animepigeon
Pigeon, come out or else we will really eat all your dreams!


We need more quiz questions...
If aliens exist, what could be their win con? I can only imagine them being a clone of Lovers or them having to discover DNA of someone.

Agentt, there are three "races": humans, aliens (a kind of third party) and doppelgangers. In the lore, I think doppelgangers are also technically aliens. So when the start post says "alien menace" it is referring to the dopps.

Real slim shady, huh?

Ah, thank you for having me everyone. You all were honestly too kind for someone as bad at playing as me.

Bro, I townread you hard. Granted, it was entirely based off meta which was obviously a mistake. I have no idea how every game you change your playstyle!
I roleplay a bunch aye, but really see me as a completely new player every game. Rebuilt a meta for me everytime.

So you're a metamorphic mirror-lord, who claims anxiety.... interesting.  And then drops lines like -

I didn't read the setup. Ask me anything and I'll answer as if I know everything about it.
A woman with Slit for a mouth asks you if she is pretty. If you say no, she gets angry and decapitates you. If you say yes then she turns your mouth into a slit too. What do you do?

And no,
the set of ['Agentt', 'CrystalisedMire', 'Imp'] ∉ x where x is the set of all mafia players.

Question btw, dopplegangers just fool investigative powers correct? Or are they a complete ditto of the role they copy along with the powers? Do those powers remain the same or do they get degraded into one shots?

But noooo.  You're just a genius, taking different thoughtforms as your form between the different acts of this play, each day of your stay, your way you sashay.  Cool.  Perturbing, but cool.  We'll see.



Imp, if you were given a one shot kill and had to shoot it now before the next vote count otherwise you explode, who would you target?

Agent T, same question.
~.~)
The second person who voted for anime pigeon..

First vote on them was just a joke, second one can be seen as mafia trying to piggy back.

In that case, what do you think about Imp's vote on ToonyMan?


Orz...it's probably just Imp doing impish things.

Quote
An "Impish" nature in Pokémon boosts Defense and lowers Special Attack. This is a good choice for Pokémon that focus on physical attacks and don't rely heavily on Special Attacks.

But it is indeed something I would see suspicious umu, though there isn't much push so it's really a meh thing. If she ends up not changing her vote, I would ask her reasons, but for now it's like everyone is just playing catch with votes.

'something you would see suspicious'.

Fooey.  Too careful.  Too strange.  Too delicate.  Too 'I'll be whatever everyone wants me to be, oh gods why does everyone want something different'.  I don't think I'm convinced.

looks away from the weird being at last

Crystal.  What do you read of the game so far?  What catches your eye and seems important so far?

A glance back at 'art'.

But I am curious, what's the logic behind calling me Agent? Or was that just a joke?

Purely wordplay, and based off your own claim about confusion related to spelling.

And what does that nomming message even tell you Imp?

I view it a bit like a nervous tic/ego signature.  A thing you do almost like an animal grooming itself, a person tossing their keys on one specific table when they get home.  I'm aware it's a bit more for you than that, but that'll do.

I hope we don't end up bullying anime pigeon

Discuss this more.  What's up with... and why concerned about... 'bullying' and AP?

Imp, can you clarify a bit more about what Agent struck you as weird. Was it the jokes? I'm trying to get in your shoes here. Were you joking about Agent having a chat, or did you have a reason for saying that? Just trying to keep them on their toes?



Agent T
Animepigeon
Wait, is that the third vote on an absent player...? I think you can do better than that.

Man these questions are fucking ret

Absolutely genius man we sure played Mafia good back in the day.

Traditionally it's the third vote you have to watch out for. Still, that's better than no reason.

I read a bit of Paranormal 27 where I make the astute insight that without hammers votes are shit posts until the deadline.

I was going to poke you about this anyway but now I am more curious about whether you feel the third vote rule applies in a hammerless game given you just voted Agent T over that.



I agree with ToonyMan that Imp is probably town here but I am interested in Imp's answer to NQT's question about wtf Imp is seeing in Agent T.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

Is Imp right about Agentt and Magma? Maybe. Hey, not too rough.

What about Agentt and Crystal? I think it is possible. I'm too young to die.

Or maybe NQT and Crystal? Also feels possible. Hurt me plenty.

I think it's unlikely there isn't at least one scum inside Agentt/Crystal. Animepigeon is a wild card but probably not with Agentt.

And no,
the set of ['Agentt', 'CrystalisedMire', 'Imp'] ∉ x where x is the set of all mafia players.

A set uses curly braces, not square braces. Nice try tho, thanks for playing
Wait, what programming language are we speaking in?
I didn't read the setup. Ask me anything and I'll answer as if I know everything about it.
What race are vigilantes?

While there's technically nothing indicating that vigilantes need to be any particular race, for balance reasons they are usually caucasian.

fucking lmao

If somebody claims to be psychic, how should town react to that claim?
I don't know. There are many psychic roles. Maybe we should take their claims with a grain of salt?
Question btw, dopplegangers just fool investigative powers correct? Or are they a complete ditto of the role they copy along with the powers? Do those powers remain the same or do they get degraded into one shots?
According to the original post, they're mechanically just the mafia of this game. Only some can fool investigative powers because they fill teh role of the godfather.

Agentt's vote on an absent player because I'm pretty sure it was the third vote on AP. Your posts are still incomprehensible to me but you're probably town. Jim Groovester's suspicion feels in good faith.

Can you elaborate on the evidence for these scum pairings?

You're probably right about AP and AtT not being teamed because AtT wouldn't hop on a bandwagon that large on their scummate.

I mean if we're talking programming, I don't know of any that allow you to declare a set with any sort of braces. Plenty of them allow you to declare an array with square braces, or a map with curly braces. I guess if you wanted to be a really bad person, you could declare a map with null values and use that as a set.

But no, I was talking about general math stuff.

Actually I think Sal is a good guy. Magma? Not so much...

Who's scum if it ain't you, Agentt? Rolling arbitrary dice to vote an absent player is not the way dude. Who is scum if we are wrong?

D1 is all smoke and mirrors, you have to throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. It's almost a game to see who says something interesting or controversial first.

I read a bit of Paranormal 27 where I make the astute insight that without hammers votes are shit posts until the deadline.

I was going to poke you about this anyway but now I am more curious about whether you feel the third vote rule applies in a hammerless game given you just voted Agent T over that.
Votes always annoy the person you're voting, at least a little bit, so they do signal something, but I get what you're saying. It's the final vote that really matters.

RE: Agent T, I just think a player who is absent isn't going to arrive here sooner if three people are voting him as opposed to two. It's a weak vote. So it's not really about the third on wagon thing, so much as excessive lurker hunting is a scum pattern.
