VOTE: numberQ

why do you believe my claim?

Because I'm informed Scum, of course.

[Almost50]

IV is Town
schadd is "likely" Town
T3 "I lean" Town
Pooky is ALWAYS Town (if not then he wins as Scum)

Not such a bad start for me.

Oh, and Clemency is a CLOWN (it's funny because it rhymes with Town)

[Almost50]

imagine using a readslist in a meme game

you're lucky i can't blow you up yet

[Almost50]

idk what tvs is but this number1 fellow is definitely scum, yes.

It's was TYPO, as he meant..



(It's funny because it rhymes with NumberQ)

rvs or did something about my entrance ping you?

i think im still interested in answers to these questions if either of u get around to it

I did answer in 72

[Almost50]

a note about flashwagons while it's on my mind, no idea if this is insightful or not, feel free to disagree ofc

im kind of scared about leaving people at L-2 even in this game; i think when someone gets to L-2 there's a huge incentive for scum to just go in and hammer/build up the wagon/hope another townie joins, etc. Like let's say two wagons are developing on X and B and X, Y, Z are the scumteam. If X dies then mafia insta lose but if even in the absolute worst case if Y scumclaims and hammers B then X, Y will get blown up and Z at least still has a fighting chance. Like even if associatives get really really bad scum will do anything to make sure the wagon goes to someone else because horrible associatives > instaloss is my point. So as town our job is to not let these sort of situations get even close to happening by making sure wagons don't go to like 5 votes easily without strong reasoning/deadline scramble.

as far as an overall game strat take

i kind of just like the idea of drawing out/playing the Day 1 phase as opposed to keeping it contentless and purely memey (no offense to the memers y'all great too). I just remember as scum being really scared that town would elongate Day 1 and try to scumhunt, etc., while we were all in limbo of just not knowing if town would converge on one of us on D1, which is why we went for the meme-flashwagon strategy. Obviously at this point it doesn't look like scum is going to take that approach and that this game already looks different, etc., etc. but i think it may be helpful to keep in mind that scum are under a lot more pressure than us on D1 which is an advantage we lose the moment we end this phase - scum have a lot more to lose than us.

this is all maybe kind of obvious but for me at least worth keeping and mind and verbalizing

And you ask why I TR this?? COME ON!

[Almost50]

I will grant you your wish provided you promise not to decide the target on your own. I think we should collectively decide who will target whom (basically making the scummiest players eliminate each other). Unless -of course- there are

good

scum that can appear Town all the time.

[Almost50]

yeah im giving away the autonomy of my explode and turning it into an orthodox vote process
right now it doesnt mean much but what i'm thinking is if i continue with the same idea d2 it'll locktown me because scum would not and should not ever do this
obviously dont take it into consideration yet because day 1 i can say that just to prevent dying as scum and losing the game
correct me if my logic is wrong

Mate, Scum won't explode against Townies. You're either GOOD Town who will keep your word, BAD Town who will still explode in whomever you want, or SCUM who won't explode willingly at all.

[Almost50]

im sorry i got really excited

I'd suggest you stop watching Playboy & Penthouse channels, but I doubt you'd listen.

[Almost50]

@Clemency is proposing to be directed by the majority to explode unto someone. He wants to use his explode.

[Almost50]

I say 1 more max and the 6th vote is a scumclaim.

yeah i can live with that
VOTE: cows

VOTE: cows

Just because IV says it'd be a scumclaim!

[Almost50]

ooh

UNVOTE:

[Almost50]

@IV: A little paranoia is good. Too much is bad though. If X is Scum we win. If not, you have Clemency as your first bomb and I volunteer to be 2nd.

[Almost50]

Pedit: A50 what are you doing? Why vote then unvote

To piss you off. because you dared say "6th vote is a scumclaim"

[Almost50]

but we have time to decide who to kill I think we should use it

Take your time. Just don't say things like "if you do this you're scumclaiming". You and I both know it never works that way. At least WAIT till someone does the deed and THEN say it's a scumclaim in your book.

[Almost50]

a50's just a pedant :^)

I'm a senior professor in ape college, Monkeyville.

[Almost50]

my eyes hurt resisting sleeping pills is painful

Why resist? Go sleep. I'll personally see to it that you get hammered before you wake up.

[Almost50]

so you guys actually don't know clemen?

Who dat? Never heard of him.

[Almost50]

lets just get our steak

*Sigh*

Pooky was mod-killed for promoting the slaughter of the mod

[Almost50]

Woo I summoned two out of three, that ain't bad

Summoning a demon is MUSH easier than dismissing it though.

[Almost50]

Idk why A50's #105 rubs me the wrong way.

Oooh! GROSS, dude!

[Almost50]

VOTE: numberQ

[Almost50]

I'm starting to get bpred too. Further conversation isn't likely to get us antwher we haven't been already. It's not like someone could have crumbed a role, or someone decides to check another at night. You can't put someone @E-1 and ask them to claim either.

[Almost50]

@IV:

I would rather we got over the "we hope to get Scum on D1" plan and started planning for the explosion phase. Here's what I think:

I would assign YOU (because you ARE my only confident TR) to list 3 ordered pairs, as in:

A to explode on B
C to explode on D
E to explode on F

I would also recommend that you take into account that Clemency, A50 & Pooky have volunteered to be the 3 suicide bombers, so your task would be to assign each a target and order the pairs.

Should one of the suicide bombers refuse to fulfil their duty the "target" should then nuke them (ex: A refuses to explode on B, B should explode on A). You should also probably assign a vice-leader in case Scum went out of their way and tried to nuke you before the 3 explosions were done with. That vice-leader does NOT have the right to edit your original pairs, but can decide what's next. (Of course if the Scum who exploded on you is on your original 6 that means assigning the "now free suicidal bomber" a new target)

Think about it and let me know what you think

[Almost50]

we should decide on a strategy whether that’s chaos or people voting for top scumreads to bomb each other or me choosing

Pooky whats your take on that

If people won't accept your leadership, I still will. Give ME a target, and tell me if I should go first, 2nd or 3rd

[Almost50]

I'd be up to explode on someone considering how useless I feel playing this game.

I'll probably target POOKY if you don't. 300 gives me the creeps. (Like, "I'll target a Townie, and them give them a chance to explode unto someone else, thus excluding myself from the list for starters, and making it less likely they hit Scum because there are only 2 others left".)

VOTE: Pooky

BAD BEAR. (I still love you though)

[Almost50]

i mean if they refuse ill still blow em up

Not my point. Scum!You would give Town!"Target" time to blow themselves up against another Townie. That's how I interpreted it.

[Almost50]

its also exactly what i did in the last run of this game

And you wouldn't try to mimic your Town play as Scum, would you?

[Almost50]

yeah im not saying i agree

You didn't say you disagree either

[Almost50]

Keep hammering away at the post count kings

We try our best. Game is stagnant anyway

[Almost50]

Almost50 has been prodded. He has 24 hours to post before being replaced.

Mean

[Almost50]

What am I supposed to say or do? One joins a game of suicidal bombers and expects to see some SUICIDE BOMBING going! How naive of me, right?

[Almost50]

I remember your D1 reads in team large normal being fairly good

That was a one-off. Usually my D1 reads are mediocre at best. I am a stronger player towards the end of the game.

That said, this is no conventional game by any means. I don't mind playing some Mafia, but I also want to get to the fun part. The EXCITEMENT of waiting for a flip and how people react to X blowing up against Y.. etc.

Where my head is at? I dunno. THAT is why I had nominated you to be the leader. I TR you and -since this is more of a "Green Beret Operation behind enemy lines" kind of game, I am willing to be a good soldier and obey my leader's commands.

VOTE: A50

why are you selfvoting

Because this game sucks rocks and I won't have another round of debates. If my lim gets the game to the "knock-outs stage" so be it.

[Almost50]

im unsure about the assertations of being a stronger player lategame when you vowed to explode early and are now self-voting now
but can i glean any AI information about that? probably not. you town bro?

Let me go from last to start:

YES, I am TOWN here.

Now ask anyone who has played 5+ games with me and they will tell you that I am indeed a better player towards the end of the game. Info + mechanics help me solve much much more than gut and feel.

This game is NOT A CONVENTIONAL GAME. There are NO MECHANICS TO BE REVEALED. There will be no "interactions", no VCA.. etc. It's a meme. literally a guessing game. I don't believe I will have better reads if I last longer, because the one who will explode is most likely a TOWN PLAYER, so theor choice doesn't give me any additional info (except for theirs and their target's flip). Like, let's say I could explode now and I choose to target X (feel free to replace X with the player of your choice). I flip green and X flips (again, consider both cases). Now what does that tell you about Y & Z?

[Almost50]

VOTE: Pooky

I do believe that's where I was voting last before I self-voted

[Almost50]

No. His 300 is it

[Almost50]

So you want me to insist on being the day lim and try to block the wagon on the one I SR??

[Almost50]

Pooky is person who can dodge d1 elim EASILY as mafia.
He doesh't need to claim "I will explode instantly" claim dooming self.

Ser-fucking-iously?

i can just explode on Clemency (or Almost50).

You must think both Clem and I suck at Scum then. Yeah?

[Almost50]

You said to bloody sheep you when you flip green, but you didn't say unto WHOM? I'm fine if YOU decided the pairings today if YOU are the lom (because OBVIOUSLY if you do flip red then it's a no go anyway as the game would instantly be over)

[Almost50]

Okie dokie

[Almost50]

Hey, (s)Pooky: Do you have experience with cows? I tried to search for his name in your topics and it appears this is your first game together.

[Almost50]

VOTE: cows

I actually want one of numberQ, Strange ir Pav.. naaaaybe T3. I mean, one of the vanity voters is voting their scum buddy for distancing, so yeah .. cows looks bad too. T3 looks better because I think all scum are avoiding both wagons at this point
