The Whiteboard
Agentt: 4: Crystalizedmire, notquitethere, Salvatore Monday, ToonyMan
AnimePigeon: 1: Agentt
ToonyMan: 2: Imp, Magma Mater



Day ends ~5pm Pacific Friday

A few clarifications since many people have not played a Paranormal mafia before.
1) Lore-wise, Doppelgangers are a form of alien infiltration weaponry. Game-wise, they're just the scum team with flavor. So Doppelganger is the team, and they can have a role same way the town players do. There are a couple of dopp specific roles, and you may want to read those to see what they can do. Flavor-wise, the mafia kill involves the target being eaten or slashed/bitten to death.
2) There is also the possibility of non-dopp Aliens as 3rd party
3) This is more of a deadline based game, so you don't have to worry about hammers or the day ending suddenly. I keep the option open to end the day early if everyone has voted and things have stalled, but I generally don't need to.

what ferret

The flavour at the start of the game has ferrets in it, I thought it was a clue but I guess not.

What did you think was under this hood?

"To ferret" means to search for something, like a ferret hunting rabbits in a burrow.

^idk, a cat?
Anyways, I'm in agreement that Toony looks suspicious. Salvatore also looks suspicious after that vote since they both look like bandwagoning. Unvote, I don't want the day to end early if the day ends when everyone has voted.

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.

Venn diagram of Agentt's previous communication that I saw in the first game off-B12 where I met him (ended before EoD1 no contest, but he was town), all my limited but exists direct communication with him, my time with him in both scumchat and the thread and reading him in deadchat last game here.

This is an extremely different Agentt.

Why I can't tell ya (Like, I am not so sure this is alignment and if so which alignment).  However also minor sense of wrongness, not just differentness.  And none of my read is mech based.  This is very very vastly early for me to read his wincon movement.

However.  Based on my previous interactions with Agentt, including out of game ones, person to person.

I would say I strongly believe Agentt is not speaking alone.  Who Agentt's partner is, I don't know.  It's not me, but what he's shown in totally in my range.  Also in the ranges of Sal, Mater, AP (and AP is a dark horse there; but AP showed me the depths of info tracking and range he can do.  But he's not most likely here, but the meme 'sleeper Agentt' would be hilarious, and AP is sure being a 'sleeper' visibly so far this game - and the last time I was in a game where AP was anti-town I marked him early, he subbed out, and I chased his slot relentlessly and it subbed a second time, it did eventually flip maf after the game ending from no contest/flip reveal error.  However, AP is unlikely because of content; would mean he's been doing a lot of backreading outside of his interactions with me before the game + what he shows.  But there's out of game connections between AP and Agentt, so I am privileged to know that they communicate well and it wouldn't be weird for them to work hand-in-glove, which is not an accusation of any behavior this game that's wrong, but is a measure of how clean those two may work together if paired by mech - the preference is there too).

I would say outside the range of Crystal, not impossible for her but she hasn't show me that range and type of thinking.  Also I can't measure the range of NQT, so throwing that in possible and unable to measure how likely.  I am surprised if it's because of partnership with either Jim or Toony

I also cannot say I see anti-town in the pairing and choices.  I just see the likely pairing.  Or Agentt is speaking entirely unlike his normal self and normal personality presentation and normal anything/everything.  This is outside the range I believe Agentt would show and I am 80% sure he could not think of to show if he were independently discussing.

This is 'not-Agentt' as best as I can tell.  Different ego signatures.

I love this.  This is beyond awesome.  Yay for NQT, the precious and prized, the funny and wise!

... I wonder if the wisdom will extend into readable and followable gameplay - but I totally get and love this joke and its feel!

Oh, Unvote.  Thanks for not making me feel directly sheepdog-level focused on, 'Imp is different from others' still, Toons.  Looking forward to watching what I can see of how you pay attention to everyone.

I violently reject the continued existence of AgentT.

Here's what I'd like help with though.

I don't strongly read alignment in Agentt.

There's suggestions and they make me uneasy.

Are town-town pairings likely in this game, anyone?

I am very strongly reacting to Agentt.  I dunno if I'm a bloodhound barking at someone who smells weird or smells dangerous.

@Imp I'm really not seeing what you're seeing. I think you're taking a journey down a ferret-hole here. Just focus on alignment-indicative things instead.

Nope, can't.

As in, I don't have a good set for alignment indicative, not until I chew hard and long on whatever I found.

And I can only share what I see.  So I share what I see and everyone can help sort out what it means.

...

But it's sad funny if it's AP + Agentt, and AP is sleeper Agentt through Agentt, and Agentt is yelling about the stress in a weird way.

That's very spec though.

AnimePigeon, would you please come down from your throne like in The Pick of Destiny when Dio descends?

"AP can you hear me?
We play but you're not here
I'm askin' for your guidance
Won't you come down from your throne?
I need a present player who will teach me how to read..."
