Micro 902 Cultist Recruiter Mafia

[Almost50]

1. Don't be a dick.

A pecker is a pecker, by any other name

Spoiler:

2. This is a game for fun. Act like it.

Spoiler:

3. Pretending to break a rule IS breaking a rule.

Spoiler:

4. Don't PROVABLY quote priveledged information.

Spoiler:

5. Try not to allow outside influences to affect the game.

You mean like.. naaah! I would NEVER DayVig someone for being scum and beating me in a previous game. NEVER!

6. Follow Site Rules.

Spoiler: Site Rules

7. If you think it should be against the rules, assume it is.

So, I am assuming

lynching me

here is

against the rules

, because it should never happen. Right?

8. I will change these at any time for the integrity of the game or if I think it will increase the enjoyment of the players.

People who live in glass houses should only change outside.. or something.

[Almost50]

I have some RL things to take care of, so I'll be unavailable for about 6 hours. Have fun, boys and girls, and don't do anything AP wouldn't do.

[Almost50]

I believe my entry post was totally withing the "AP rules pf posting". That said, it was also to punish Jingle for actually making me read the rules.

[Almost50]

If I'm needed to answer any other setup questions, please use @mod so I know you're asking me.

@mod: How did you think of this setup? Where were you at the time? What ere you eating/drinking? What were you wearing? Who is the Cult Recruiter?

(Let's hope he answers all questions without thinking.The whole list of questions was designed to distract him so he would be tricked into answering the last one of them, but don't say anything until he does answer so he won't be forewarned. OK?)

[Almost50]

I believe my entry post was totally withing the "AP rules pf posting". That said, it was also to punish Jingle for actually making me read the rules.

Way to stall the game bro bro.

What game? I've already solved the game and just waiting for Jingle to confirm. Shos is the Cult Recruiter. Nor is the Original Cultists. Lynch Shos and win the game on D1.

[Almost50]

@mod: Check your PMs

No. DON'T!

[Almost50]

@Hectic
I prefer to be called Norwee as a nickname. But you can use whatever you wish.

How about if I called you "FK Bodø / Glimt; aka Masters of DRAW of late"?? Wild that suit you?

[Almost50]

Also, has anyone heard from A50 yet?

I did. Word is he's sitting on a couch facing a computer screen as we speak.

[Almost50]

OK. done catching up

VOTE: Shos

[Almost50]

Everybody should sheep me already. This who don't comply maybe subject to the wrath of either Judge Joseph Dredd or AP (or BOTH in extreme cases). The difference is JJD is a tough guy who loves to use the F word a lot, while AP has a milder appearance and loves to DO the F word a lot.

[Almost50]

Man, you are alot more meth crazy than I remember.

This is the real me with no strings attached. You saw me as scum replacement once and I had to go crazy to save the day, and the other game I remember playing with you only lasted a game day (and I think I was this aggressive and did drive a lynch on scum before the game was scrapped). If we played a third game please remind me which it was (Hint: I am AP & Judge Joseph Dredd in case I also played you under one of those).

[Almost50]

Also, a word of advice: Do not try to meta me, or at least don't make it your primary tool to sort me. People have tried and some have claimed to have perfect records (and they did at the time) and then never managed to match said record. I play a different style each game (or rather; I play however I feel. It depends on my mood.. on how familiar I am with the crowd.. on my role (I repeat: ROLE, not alignment), and even on who's modding!)

[Almost50]

on a side note, a50, have you recently become a crack addict or is this your midlife crisis?
shos is actively trying to gamesolve and helping. even if you think they're scummy, get your vote right now where it can actually pressure someone who's being legitimately antitown. I would suggest hectic.

1- I have Town lean on Hectic
2- What do you mean "even if you think they're scummy"? Why wouldn't I vote someone I think is scummy? And how long would you suggests I should wait in micro with CULT in it?

[Almost50]

I like A50

Can you please explain this? I mean. I've just called you the Cult Recruiter, so I'm not sure you;re liking my reads for a start. Are you liking the effort regardless? Is there something specific? Or are you like trying to pocket me?? I'm not quite sure.

[Almost50]

I like TGP. Whaddya say bawyz

I agree TGP looks alright so far

[Almost50]

So everyone should sheep you even though you don’t give any explanation of why Shos/me are the cultists?

I don't remember why YOU were a scum read precisely, but iirc it was something about your read on someone based on someone else calling you out.. or maybe I am mixing my games because I was half asleep last night and have posted in several places. I'll reread sometime later today to remember why I had you as the Original VT Cultist.

As for Shos; I believe his proposed plan benefits Scum (Cult) more. If we announce who we will be protecting beforehand the Cult Recruiter knows not to target this precise person, and we don't benefit from it at all because this target isn't in danger of being culted anyway. It's like a Doctor announcing whom they're going to protect beforehand so that the Mafia can shoot elsewhere.

[Almost50]

A50 with some quality content so far. Could I pay a premium for more?
Why Shos?

I've just explained it, but let me know if it wasn't clear enough.

[Almost50]

So, I did confuse my games. The reason I am calling out Nor here is because of his VT claim at the start of the game. This probably serves to attract the TOWN Recruiter subtly, and -being the Original Cultists- is a waste of the Town Recruiter's shot of the night.

[Almost50]

So, to reiterate: Nor appears to be calling out on the TOWN Recruiter to be on him. His "I want to be culted" is even more proof, because then the Town Recruiter would be inclined to prevent that from happening.

Shos' plan serves to help the CULT Recruiter more. That's why I called thing Shos is the Recruiter and Nor is the "UN-Townable" Cultist.

[Almost50]

shos right now doesn't have a high chance of getting lynched d1, and he's active and positively contributing. Save your vote for when a lynch on him's actually feasible, and vote someone with less positive contribution that you want to pressure.

OK, so I should go for someone whom I think is lynchable regardless I guess.

VOTE: TGP

You convinced me.

[Almost50]

vote someone with less positive contribution

Like, what the freak is this? I call it a scummy plan and you tell me it's "positive" contribution?? And you say that >I< am a crackhead?

[Almost50]

Hey almost, have time to talk about your TGP read?

I still have him as a mild/weak TOWN lean. I'm just voting him out of frustration.

[Almost50]

shos - I didn't even remember shos was in the game.
a50 - Same with A50.

I dunno what to say! The one who proposed the scummy plan and the one who explained why it was scummy, and you don't even remember we're in the game? I mean, at least 3 pages have been either by or about the two of us.

[Almost50]

Hmm.. U can lose this game.. for a more glorious motive:

PAYBACK

VOTE: DEB

Remember when you bailed out on me and I got on my knees and begged you not to sell out the town because I'd go berserk?
Well, you did it anyhow and then I lost the game although I was the one to have confirmed you town and I went out of my mind.
And.. they're coming to take you away ha ham they're coming to take you away ho ho he he ha ha to the dead thread where they hanf you upside down and call you named without an end, and they're coming to take you away ha haaaaaa
You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had sobbed and Gamma was sincere and didn't stab us in the back. Right?
You know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed, you laughed and then you said you didn't have remorse nor did apologize although it made me mad.
And.. they're coming to take you away ha ham they're coming to take you away ho ho he he ha ha to the place where you deserve to be to spend the rest of the game and weep, and they're coming to take you away ha haaaaaa
I stayed awake, I planned ahead, and looked for chances when I could get my revenge fir all you cruel unfaithful selfish deed.. huh?
Well you are done by for this game and I hope they lock you up in the ASPCA you mangy mutt
And.. they're coming to take you away ha ham they're coming to take you away ho ho he he ha ha to the dead thread where they hanf you upside down and call you named without an end, and they're coming to take you away ha haaaaaa
to the place where you deserve to be to spend the rest of the game and weep, and they're coming to take you away ha haaaaaa

Spoiler:

[Almost50]

Having caught up overnight, I am confident this is the Cult Recruiter:

VOTE: power27

Check their ISO vs DEB's. Tell me what you see.

[Almost50]

Who replaced power?

[Almost50]

Wait! Did Nor replace Power??

UNVOTE:

[Almost50]

FUCK ME! IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAID TODAY (I confused my games)

[Almost50]

Yes.. I agree shos is the top suspect in this game. I will vote when Nor decides it's time to vote here.

[Almost50]

@Nor: Sh0s is @L-1. Let me know if you're ready to end the day.

[Almost50]

A50 are you actually high?

No. I honestly did confuse my games, and I think I should stop at that.

[Almost50]

Shos is L-2. Not L-1

Oh, OK then..

VOTE: Shos

[Almost50]

I've got a proposition: The Cult Recruiter announces themselves. We -in turn- do not lynch, and -instead- the Town Recruiter targets them. This way the Cult Recruiter joins the Town and WINS.

[Almost50]

So who would we lynch today then?
Also, @Hectic, I'll explain why you feel that way post-game.

If teh Cult Recruiter outright claims we do not lynch anyone. The game is over once they are recruited back to town.

[Almost50]

UNVOTE:

And if applicable;

VOTE: No Lynch

[Almost50]

IF HECTIC FUCKING CULTED NORWEEG OVER ME, I WANT HIM TO BE LYNCHED

IDC

Neither do I care what you ant tbh. I gave him an offer and he accepted it. Why would I want to be a dick and kill him for it?

[Almost50]

And besides, you should be grateful he didn't target you, or YOU would have been in Nor's position now. You would have lost and he still wins. At least now you can take the win home.

[Almost50]

We can arrange with the mod to alter the N1 target and declare you a loser and Nor a winner!

[Almost50]

I'd rather actually get cult for once and have fun playing that, rather than y'know, NOT GETTING CULT.

That's what I'm saying, What fun would you have had if you got culted and then lost immediately the very next day? I would also like to roll cult at some point (or SK or Jester or .. etc) provided I actually do get the time to

play

it.

[Almost50]

You didn't read what I said. If I got culted, and this came up, I'd tell Hectic not to say he's the cult leader; I would, become town, Hectic recruits the recruiter, and then the next day, I sell someone out who wasn't actually cult, then I get recruited back to cult.

First, the Town Recruiter isn't outed. Second, how can you guarantee Hectic (or anyone in his position) will listen to you? You seem to have the perfect plan in your head, which is kinda cool, but here we are, and we need to deal with the situation at hand, and it's this: You are not cult. The game ends today/tonight. It ends today if more people want to lynch Hectic, and it ends tonight if more people want him to "see the light" and renounce the Devil and his evil ways. I belong to the latter group.

[Almost50]

The game isn't prolonged if we vote No Lynch either. Basically, he switched himself with someone else.. like in Final Destination. He cheated death by sacrificing someone else in his stead.

[Almost50]

If the Town Recruiter submits the action NOW the game will end instantly. We were about to MISlynch shos. Consider it the case and then the Town Recruiter "randomly" hits Hectic.

[Almost50]

Oh no. I see it likely that Norweeg is cult leader and Hectic is trying to save them.

Save him from what? We we bloody lynching SHOS!!!

[Almost50]

you know what? fine.
i'm the town recruiter. i targeted dong last night, so he is guaranteed town. when we lynch hectic today, i target shos.

That's the worst possible play EVER. WHY out yourself? What's the benefit? Neither you nor your target were in any danger of getting lynched.

Also, what's the point of that last part? If you believe Hectic to be the Cult recruiter the game ends with his lynch. If you think he's a bluffing cultist then Nor is the one to target. I don't get your logic at all.

[Almost50]

Oh Hectic outed himself?
Whst a fool.
I’m still town so it is entirely in my interest to lynch him.
VOTE: Hectic
Sorry buddy. It’s my wincon. Although i am interested who the heck you targeted since i’m still town.

Wait a minute! You didn't join the Cult PT??

[Almost50]

Gosh, see what a nice and well-explained post will get you NorwEE? You enraged/tunnely probable townie.
Thank you, Korina, Master of the Cult.

The main drawback from me seeing as Korina being cult recruiter is this post by DEB.
It doesn't seem likely that he would try sowing suspicion on his own cult leader to draw away the attention from himself.

Or it could be it was decided he was the day lynch and wanted to be slick.

[Almost50]

It seemed really stupid for towncruiter to claim today

You can say that again.

[Almost50]

Like in C9++ recently i jokingly wrote down "maybe both the cops are scum fake claiming" almost ironically. But then it turned out i was right and the whole debacle was scum theatre.
So don't mind me if i want to analyze every damn possibility.

I've never heard of such a thing! I never played in such a game. It's UNHEALTHY FOR MY BRAIN to remember anything about THAT game, so I'm in denial.

[Almost50]

OK.. caught up. It's probably bad to out an explicit readlist (because the Cult Recruiter may use it to decide their action if they're not lynched today), but Korina needs to eat rope anyway. The Cult Recruiter is between Korina and TGP (depending on whether TGP is true claiming or fake claiming)

VOTE: Korina

[Almost50]

Huh, if you're both fine with voting Korina, then who did he recruit?

Who cares? It's probably TGP still (if he's fake claiming) or maybe Dr Drew (if TGP is legit), but if Korina is the Cult Recruiter the game ends on the spot either way.

[Almost50]

Korina wagon formed pretty quickly. Thats very interesting. Seems to me like some people would like to see a fast lynch on korina without evaluating half of last page. Wouldnt you agree A50?

Oh, please don't give me that reasoning again! I'm about to snap at people saying "this wagon formed too fast". Would you rather I voted Korina tomorrow and Nor waited 48 more hours? Korina looks like scum here. Period. The persistence on lynching Hectic was scummy AF. And to note he explicitly said he did NOT want to lynch the Cultists on D1 means he

knew

Hectic was faking, and still pushed for a lynch on him. Is that too hard to see?

[Almost50]

Korina wagon formed pretty quickly. Thats very interesting. Seems to me like some people would like to see a fast lynch on korina without evaluating half of last page. Wouldnt you agree A50?

Keep it down up there, voice. Sometimes you drown out even my own thoughts. Put your vote down on Drew and we can pressure both then.

VOTE: Drew

NO! You come back to Korina first and foremost. TGP could be Korina's recruit and thus Drew would be a mislynch. At least with Korina I can guarantee you either the Cult Recruiter or the Culted player.

[Almost50]

Dont you think that the korina wagon itself is a distraction? Almost50 came out of nowhere and norwegian got on the wagon without saying anything about it. I think thats the real problem here, whereas i've been laying the foundation for drew for as long as i have been properly playing.

So what are you suggesting then? Korina's town and which of Almost/Norwee is cult?

I just don't get Korina missing a really important rule for a cult game which I'd expect him to be fully aware of.

Oh yeah, all of this^

So, why the freak are you still on Drew then?

[Almost50]

First off: I am never a good recruit for Cult, because I am -also- a prime target of the TOWN Recruiter, so I wouldn't have been culted, OR I get targeted N2 *by the Town Recruiter) and I expose the Cult.

Then, as for "I dunno bla bla" you agreed that Korina was a GUARANTEED Cult flip. Drew is a 50-50, and if he flips town it's bloody LyLo tomorrow.

Now we lynch Korina. He flips Recruiter we win. He flips cult member and TGP can target Drew, whereas we lynch Drew.. he flips Cult Recruiter and we win (same a s Korina), but if he flips Town we're fucked because even assuming TGP is legit he doesn't know whether to target Korina or shos (his main suspect), and he is guaranteed to be the target of the Cult Recruiter, so if TGP targets the wrong person we already lose our Town Recruiter.

Lynching Korina guarantees we have only 1 target for the Town Recruiter (again, assuming he IS the Town Recruiter)

[Almost50]

I think I figured it out by the end of page 20: Korina was the Cult Recruiter all along. He targeted Shos last night and wanted to bus at the start of the day to buy both time and town-cred. 80% confident the game ends with a Korina lynch.

[Almost50]

Hey Drew, why aren't you voting for Korina yet? If you're afraid of putting him on L-1, that's understandable and I sympathise with your fear of lolhammers. The voice in my head is famous for those I think (Please play rps with me already, voice).

So I will very kindly remove my vote on Korina so you can hop on and enjoy yourself.

UNVOTE: Korina

Kindly get back on Korina and watch him squirm (as well as Shos). If this backfires you can always blame it on me, taunt me, ridicule me, and make fun of me for the next few games. Right now I'm confident Korina's D1 play 9and especially the entry) was a bluff to hide his EXCITEMENT at having actually rolled Cult. Reread in light of that and I'm sure you'll see it too. Also, ISO Korins vs DEB.

[Almost50]

I changed around my reads a bit more after looking back at people's ISOs. The last readlist was just from skimming, basically.

{myself}

{norweeg}

{hectic, a50}

{drew, dong}

- Null

{deb, shos}

{tgp}

{}

The readlist Korina provided was this, yet he never voted DEB. He voted TGP, Nor, TGP on D1. Why nor DEB? because he was the original cultist? Why not Shos? Because he intended to recruit him and THEN bus him for Town credit.

[Almost50]

Please check post #261. Yes, I know.. typo, but the question was clear enough and especially so since the one about the Cult Recruiter was just before it. In short, neither of the Recruiters an self-target. Thank you very much. Now PLEASE vote Korina and end this game. Here's an incentive if you need one: I'll fake claim Masons with you the next time Jingle runs this same setup.

[Almost50]

If not you, I'd lynch A50. Regarding your partner, that's a trick question of course because alignment change is super difficult to find. But it doesn't matter, I'm not looking for the goons, looking for the head.

My townreads are

korina and hectic

the Cult Recruiter and the guy I'm trying to pocket right now.

FTFY

[Almost50]

VOTE: Korina
By my count this is L-1, take notes

This was D1. Now Korina's his tor TR. You figure it out.

I'm fine lynching either of Korina/Shos and TGP targeting the other, but I really do have much more confidence in Korina being the Cult Recruiter now. (If he was Culted bu Shos he wouldn't have tried to quick lynch him at the start of the day, which -if successful- would have ended the game in his own defeat. That would have been explicitly playing against his win-con)

[Almost50]

Your OMGUS is entertaining
That 83 vote was a reaction test in the first day of the game, how can you compare. Also that was not even L-1 lol

OM.. GUS you say??

OK. done catching up

VOTE: Shos

This was my first vote of yesterday, to which you responded with:

Oomph.
I like A50
Can we focus on TGP?

But let's leave yesterday to yesterday. Let's talk about today:

Yes.. I agree shos is the top suspect in this game. I will vote when Nor decides it's time to vote here.

@Nor: Sh0s is @L-1. Let me know if you're ready to end the day.

Shos is L-2. Not L-1

Oh, OK then..

VOTE: Shos

These where before the claiming shenanigans after which I switched to Korina

Then you came in after the push on you cooled off to say:

nobody considered if me-DEB are a fitting duo

OF COURSE nobody did, because it was never the case. You were still TOWN aligned by the end of D1.

You even followed it up with this:

I've got a proposition: The Cult Recruiter announces themselves. We -in turn- do not lynch, and -instead- the Town Recruiter targets them. This way the Cult Recruiter joins the Town and WINS.

Holy shit guys this sounds actually plausible lol

is it wrong?

Sounds pretty much like you SR me at that point, right?

THEN you came up with the following weird statement:

OK so did A50 just lolhammer DEB in surprise? Considering the flip, what do you think of this? A50 literally didn't post the entire DEB votes period.

This was WHILE YOU WERE CASING NOR, so it very much looks like lining up lynches to me, because ME & NOR COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SCUM TOGETHER ON D1. You are building your narratives around the D1 scum lynch, and ONLY ONE OF US (if any) could have been aligned with DEB at the time.

But you also said:

Korina was definitely town D1

Which is even a weirder stance to say the least. You're attacking the one who started the wagon on DEB and the one who hammered, and you are asserting someone who stayed off the wagon was definitely town??

Then your reaction to Hectic's fake claim was "o dear". Jardly the reaction of someone who believed the claim and was excited we were about to win. Yet in your following post you said:

We can just lynch norwee first and if he flips scum have the townifier target hectic, right?

Now did you not believe Hectic (as your first reaction suggested) or did you buy into it and thought it a good idea to lynch Nor first??

WAIT! There's more..

I like 383 and now lean scum on drew
---
I'm at page 17 and still willing to lynch norwee and direct the townifier towards hectic.

That's the THIRD SR of D2 already (and I'm not in them 3, mind you). By now it looks like you're throwing SRs at random to see what sticks. You SR one person, willing to lynch another and direct the Town Recruiter towards a 3rd??

Now your 494 was another defense of Korina in particular. Seems to me you're willing to lynch just about anyone EXCEPT Korina today.

Another note: Korina was VERY MUCH willing to lynch you. That's how I know HE is the Recruiter not you.

And it's now time to THANK YOU for forcing me to ISO you now. Check this out:

@Hectic, I'm aware if the cult leader gets recruited, the game ends. HOWEVER, THE GAME ALSO ENDS IF THE CULT LEADER IS KILLED.
We decide to no-lynch and recruit you tonight. If we're wrong, cult just got a free night. If we're right, town just won AFTER THE NIGHT HAS ENDED.

If we lynch you, recruit Norweeg, we're guaranteed to at least get some

See 492
I'd much rather the opposite

The Cult Recruiter is communicating with his disciple right under our noses.

Translation: Korina is telling Shos that if the town no lynches they don't get a new member (because Korina would be forced to retarget Shos). However, if he (shos) eats rope then "they're guaranteed to at least get something", to which shos reasserts he wants to lynch Nor instead. (So tomorrow the cult are still of 2 members and the town has lost a member anyway, same as with Korina's original plan to lynch shos today)

But call me crazy in that one. Let's see.. up until this one:

VOTE: NorwegianboyEE
VOTE: NorwegianboyEE
VOTE: NorwegianboyEE
VOTE: NorwegianboyEE
VOTE: NorwegianboyEE
VOTE: NorwegianboyEE
VOTE: NorwegianboyEE


I think this is L-1

There still is no mention of an explicit SR on me (or a will to either lynch or direct the Town Recruiter towards me). It wasn't until I posted:

I think I figured it out by the end of page 20:

Korina was the Cult Recruiter all along. He targeted Shos last night

and wanted to bus at the start of the day to buy both time and town-cred. 80% confident the game ends with a Korina lynch.

that you expressed your will to lynch me. Hell, even during your catch up you still didn't make a mention of me until well after that point. And suddenly Hectic is TR now.

And then you say that >I< OMGUS'ed you???? Nice try... actually, NOT!

[Almost50]

@Everyone: Please read 590 IN FULL, then decide for yourselves.

[Almost50]

He's the only one who can't. Hectic or TGP should hammer home.

[Almost50]

@Mod: May or may not be able to post within the next 72 hours. V/LA

[Almost50]

I'll have you know I am not the Recruiter nor have I ever been culted. I have some IRL issues though, so you won't find me posting like the A50 you're all used to for a while, but I thought that might help.

P-edit: TGP already posted today?

[Almost50]

TGP hasn't posted anything in his profile since November 23rd. So i'm worried he literally didn't do anything this night.

If that's true, then at least we know he isn't the Cult Recruiter 100% of the time.

[Almost50]

Reading the game again it seems the most likely that the cult leader is Shos.
We never should have given up that wagon on him and switched to Korina.
VOTE: Shos

Count me in, but I'll take it slow with actually placing a vote today, just in case.

[Almost50]

A50, could you please explain to me why you have been willing to vote me since like D1 without hesitation?

OH! Forgive me for not explaining it all the while. My bad. WAIT! Maybe I did??

As for Shos; I believe his proposed plan benefits Scum (Cult) more. If we announce who we will be protecting beforehand the Cult Recruiter knows not to target this precise person, and we don't benefit from it at all because this target isn't in danger of being culted anyway. It's like a Doctor announcing whom they're going to protect beforehand so that the Mafia can shoot elsewhere.

[Almost50]

a doc doesn't make his target conftown, so that was a faulty line of thinking even then...

Tomato, tomato. That's not the point though. The point is letting your enemy know your move beforehand is such a bad idea no townie would even consider, and certainly not one with as much experience as you have. Not buying it.

I'm pretty sure both by elimination and gameplay that our pool should be norwei and a50.

And this is one more reason why you are scum, because neither me nor the guy from Kongeriket Norge/Noreg are cult

[Almost50]

@Nor: I skipped directly to the last spoiler of 699, and -to tell you the truth- I wasn't amazed. "This could be him doping this", "maybe he thought that".. etc. If we're using our feeli8ng and "possible interpretations" I'm sure I can case each and every slot in this game, including my own. I mean, "this could be me trying to appear townie because I know Drew is town, or it could be me trying to protect my recruit, or even me shielding my recruiter". Key word "could". Is it the case though? Well, I'm bot convinced to say the very least.

Now Shos was brought to L-1 on D2 and I was responsible for derailing the lynch, so let me correct my mistake. (Note that I still thought if Korina was the Recruiter then Shos was still a cultist on D2)

[Almost50]

I'm on Shos in spirit. Only ONE THING can make me change my mind now.

[Almost50]

Damn. Whats that one thing?

The extremely unlikely case that someone comes out to CC TGP, and then claim they were on Shos last night.

[Almost50]

Let's pretend to be little kids learning their ABC (cuz that's honestly as much as I can use my brain at this time):

What we know:

1- None of the Cult members have been re-recruited to town at any point of the game.
2- IF TGP was still town on D2, he either targeted Shos or Drew, or didn't target anyone (if it was me I would have submitted my action early, but I dunno if TGP would think of that)
3- The problem with two is the "slightly significant" possibility that TGP was already culted by the time he claimed, in which case -Occam's Razor- Dong is the likely Cult Leader.
4- I'm still not convinced by 3 because it doesn't explain Shos' persistence on his D1 plan being a good idea, when I know he knows it's a "goof" idea.
5- So going by 2 (i.e. TGP was unculted Town Recruiter on D2) tells us Dong is the one and only player we should auto-clear for today, because no one would recruit anyone other than the outed Town Recruiter on N3.
6- Aside from that, every other slot is the same alignment they were on D2.

Now can anybody add anything beneficial that does not include phrases like "I feel.." or "it may be.."??

[Almost50]

Sure here's another point:

- Vote wagon analysis -
Everyone has shown interest in voting Shos up to a point where he got to L-1. The only one that hasn't voted Shos is Dong. Whom is confirmed town assuming TGP wasn't culted on N1. Meaning it is very unlikely he is Cult leader.

That's a good take. I am unable to check for myself at this time, but I'll take your word for it

So, if we exclude Shos/TGP/Dong from being specifically the Cult recruiter, and me knowing I am not either, I'd find it quite implausible for you to be defending "a cultist at best" in Shos. So that leaves us with Hectic & Drew?

I now see your PoV. Thank you very much

Anyone else?

[Almost50]

Meh, carrying on from where I left.. assuming TGP took some action it would still have been on Shos or Drew. Right? Hevtic now has the higher probability of being the Cult Leader (at least theoretically), and the 3rd slot is the magical slot for Scum to bus their p. I mean, it's not hard evidence on it's own but it's a lead that does NOT negate the case.

VOTE: Hectic

P-edit: Don't tempt me, Shos. If Hectic is indeed the Cult Recruiter then then post #14 is proof your plan plays right into the Cult hands.

[Almost50]

@Almo: Unvote please. It makes no sense to rush this when a player hasn't even posted today yet, with that player's role being one of the most important in the game. If you're town, it's only a matter of time until scum quickhammer me.

UNVOTE:

[Almost50]

Literally everyone who's posted today other than Drew has shaded/voted for me. There's no way I'm the leader here.

That's an inaccurate deduction. There are 4/5 townies still (allowing for a failed recruitment attempt) and it could be that those who did post are those townies left, and that your team is avoiding the thread.

[Almost50]

If Drew was confirmed towncruited i’d vote Hectic.
If TGP did fuckall or target Shos i’d vote Drew.

That’s what comes down to for me now.

Then we need to wait for TGP (or his replacement). Then again, it's a foregone conclusion that slot was culted overnight, so anything they say today is WIFOM.

[Almost50]

Some other theories I thought of:

Almo as cult leader. Hammered DEB when there was no saving him. Hasn't been suspected or pushed all game.

Norwee as cult leader. Recruited Drew night 1 back when he was townread, and that's why Norwee panicked when I suggested Paradox recruit Drew.

I don't want to be an arse, but I'll be blunt: If I ever roll scum with DEB I'd replace out on the spot.

Furthermore, you do know why I voted him in the first place. You may (or may not) also know that I do not bus unnecessarily, and -in that case- it would have been an unnecessary bus because of his role. He was the unrecruitable original cultist, and there was a 50-50 chance (from my own PoV at least) that the Town Recruiter would target me anyway, so if I was "going down" very likely I don't need to hammer my buddy (in fact saving him could have had the Town Recruiter target him on N1 which would have been THE BEST I could have ever hoped for)

What I'm trying to say is you all know (or should know) my play isn't straightforward, so don't assume I bus when most people do. The right play there -if I was the Cult Recruiter- was to save DEB

while keeping him pretty much under suspicion

to bait the Town Recruiter.

[Almost50]

A50. Shos is not the cult leader just sayin.
Vote Drew with us?

Didn't I already reach the conclusion Shos isn't the Recruiter? I am divided between Hectic & Drew, and I don't know which is more likely to be the Recruiter though.

[Almost50]

A50 what's your opinion on Drew?

Right now I think it's 50% Drew, 49% Hectic, 1% anyone else.

[Almost50]

My problem is I don't have much experience with Drew. When I played him before he was just as calm, and had nothing "too obvious" in his play to make me go like "this isn't what you did when you were Town before". In other words, if I was playing with a Drew alt I wouldn't be able to tell it was him, while I "think" I "may suspect" it's Hectic if he was playing under an anonymous alt. hectic does have some distinguishable characteristics to his posting style.

[Almost50]

Why... Do you appear to be more eager on voting Hectic while downplaying the possibility of Drew being cult leader?

A theoretical A50/Drew team would be possible no?

FFS I unvoted him as soon as he made his point. And ANYTHING is possible. But I have already explained why recuiting me to cult would have been a really bad move for them, unless they believed I was the Town Recruiter.

Let me put it this way: If I was playing with myself, I would not dare recruit me, because I know when I play under A50 I am a prime target for night action (not the case with the other two alts, ironically)

[Almost50]

But you are willing to vote Drew over Hectic right?

Yes.

[Almost50]

Almost is the cult target for day 2

@Hectic
I think A50 is being honest about not rolling scum with DEB. Instead he got culted on D2 when DEB was already dead. Drew is the leader.

2 people can't be wrong. I concede. I was recruited on N2.

VOTE: Drew

[Almost50]

As for 817, I started off with declaring I would have replaced out if I rolled scum with DEB. Then I went on to talk about the GENERAL CASE, which is "if I rolled scum with someone and they ere put in that situation". And yes, I do have a strange capability to save my p if I was put in that situation, and the next day we probably would have joined forced bussing the person we recruited on N1 too.

[Almost50]

And the possibility of cult leader A50 might still be valid. I’m just basing my read on him appearing to be cautious about voting Drew all game.

Can we please at least get he story straight? Am I the leader or have I been recruited? I'll plead guilty yo either one, but certainly not both (or we would be found)

[Almost50]

Thing is A50 never needed defending
Nobody ever pushed him hard. Even I, when I pushed him, it was half assed compared to my push on you. Now I'm just sure you're a cultist, but dunno who your leader is. Surely not Drew lol. You and A50 have frequently voted together

Oh, shit. This guy has got me all figured out. Yes. I an the Cult Recruiter and I recruited both Drew & Nor on N1. I also tried to recruit Korina on the same night, but he wasn't converted so I figured he might be the unrecruitable VT and that's why I lynched him.

Last night I also recruited TGP, so I am just wasting time until he/his replacement arrive so we can hammer home.

Note: Jingle wanted to end the game already, but I told him not to unless we either recruit or lynch all the townies. That way the kingdom is reunited and we can start out conquest to take over other games too.

Sounds like a 1v1 to me!

What?! Are you also claiming having been recruited on N2?

[Almost50]

Orrr this could be a distraction from hectic?

That too. I ALSO was recruited by Hectic on N2. In fact, I have been recruited on all game nights (previous and subsequent) by all players, and I also have recruited everyone on every single night.

So what is this now? You admit Drew is your cult leader?

Of course. Don't you know I'd do anything you want me to, say anything you tell me to?

[Almost50]

Let’s just ignore this

scum joker

and lynch Drew already.

All of these

STRONGLY OBJECT

[Almost50]

Bah! At least acknowledge the bloody humour. You can't tell me it didn't make you smile!

[Almost50]

Hectics not the cult leader then

Thats one less loose thread

Oh yeah.
Guess Almo and I could hammer him here.

I can??! Hmmm.. well, you do the honours. Congratulations.

Spoiler:

Hectic is either not reading or is feigning ignorance beyond limit.

VOTE: Drew

[Almost50]

Oh, give it up already. If you don't hammer then shos should.

Right now I think it's Hectic as the Recruiter and Drew & TGP as recruited. The problem for Hectic here is lynching Drew pits his side @ 4 v 2, and if he hits the unrecruitable townie tonight he would be tomorrow's lynch.

In any case Drew isn't town here, since if he was Hectic would have already hammered him even if he had already hit the unrecruitable (i.e. if it was only Hectic & TGP at this point) because he would have been confident not to hit the unrecruitable.

Disclaimer: there's also this bizarre situation where both Hectic & TGP targeted Dong on N1, which means it's hectic and TGP still but they don't know who is unrecruitable.

In any case, I would have taken my chances and hammered already so as not to expose myself as Hectic did, but I guess it's too late to restart the Hectic wagon now and my vote is already on Drew because Nor decided it ain't hectic, so who am I to argue against his wisdom?

[Almost50]

@Jingle: Paradox hasn't posted in 6 days. Will he be replaced?

You guys sure you don't want to unvote and wait for this, and for Drew to say some final words to see if he can convince us on something we've missed?
Cult!Sh0s wins if he comes online here and Drew isn't the leader.

P-edit: Oh, really? Now, that's interesting.

GDI! I

promise you

it's Hectic.

[Almost50]

Almost *claimed* cultist

That's untrue. I didn't *claim* anything. I just *stated* it.

I also find it most peculiar that this was the only thing you fot from all my statements. I had also stated lots of stuff, including having culted everyone but X, AND having been culted by like everyone.

[Almost50]

So you really are Norwegian!

If he is; he's been hunting high and low for excuses not to play the game.

[Almost50]

Which means Doctor Drew is definitely not the Cult Recruiter

Hold on, hold on, hold on. If you're going to take the game over; at least make it an educational session for me. Would you mind explaining how you came to that conclusion?

[Almost50]

Okay, it’s Shos or A50 then.

Kill one,

Cult Recruiter hits the other

. This is end game.

Didn't expect you to be openwolfing tbh.

[Almost50]

Ah, damn.

A50, that’s unfortunate as hell.

I’m sorry I replaced in.

A50 is the Cult Recruiter

It's ok. I am fine losing this game, but I request you explain to me some. You don't even need to do it now. Post-game is good enough

[Almost50]

Almost *claimed* cultist

That's untrue. I didn't *claim* anything. I just *stated* it.

I also find it most peculiar that this was the only thing you fot from all my statements. I had also stated lots of stuff, including having culted everyone but X, AND having been culted by like everyone.

This is where he essentially states that he is not Cultist Recruiter, which means I could be wrong on him being Cult, but Idk yet. I need to talk to him now that I’m in the game.

A50 and I just won a scum game together, and he knows that’s one of my catchphrases.

He can confirm it once he shows back up.

For starters, GET YOUR TERMS CORRECT/ This game doesn't need more confusion.

Your slot is a claimed TOWN recruiter. TOWN. We want to lynch the CULT recruiter. OK? Pay attention and stop confusing the two.

Second: I do NOT bus and you know it. I only do it when it's absolutely necessary, and it was certainly NOT an absolute necessity on D1.

Third: Your slot claimed YESTERDAY. It is CONFIRMED that you have been culted overnight.

So, you can either lead the town astray, get them to lynch a townie and then recruit me as a courtesy (you are not the Cult Recruiter though, so I'm not sure that works) or you just let them lose the game all by themselves. Just don't try to frame ME to get the win, please.

[Almost50]

Good game.

I was cult leader. Recruited tgp day 1, told him to lie about recruiting me. Then recruited almost. Was fun to play

Gambits like those are becoming silly tbh. I was never recruited.

[Almost50]

Doctor Drew, cult recruiter, has been lynched.

The Town of NorwegianBoyEE, Korina, Flavor Leaf, Almost50, Dongempire, and Hectic has won!

FFS, why didn't you change the game title? Must be real fun to see me responding to an already finished game.

[Almost50]

I said A50 or Shos for a reason,

Yeah.. when in bloody doubt.. FoS A50.

[Almost50]

Almo, you goddamn troll.

That's how I'd respond when the whole doggone game suspects me for no good reason at all.
