I think your slot's town seeing shaddow had a chance to lynch me but didn't.

So, I think we mostly agree our two candidates today are Tenshii and TTTT.

If Tenshii is scum this makes it more likely that TTTT is chosen; the reverse is not true. So this might indicate we should lynch Tenshii first, to minimize the chance of hitting chosen given that one of these two is scum.

Of course, I'm the one saying this, and the same reasoning says that if I'm scum Tenshii is likely to be chosen. So you might not trust that I'm arguing in good faith.

Wait, I guess if one of them is scum it doesn't matter if the other is chosen as long as we lynch them both.

i mean this spec is all pretty well and good (actually really helpful and informative) but on the other hand there's no real reason for it when you could just read everybody in the game who isn't TTTT, realize how town they are, and then realize that we still need one more scum

@Human
your theory is that in a two-scum game scum!TTTT hard-pushes his partner then jumps off the wagon and hard-defends after it looks like the lynch is inevitable?

Umlaut wants me dead
which more and more makes me think I'm chosen

This isn't actually what happened though.
  1. You pushed on Dave d1 but not hard. You said you wanted him turbo-lynched but never voted him.
  2. You voted Dave d2 but only after putting Hiraki to L-1 and only after Dave slipped.
  3. You unvoted Dave (without any new information about Dave) when enough time had passed that he was clearly not being speed-lynched.
  4. You continued to say Dave
    could be
    scum while not voting him.
  5. It was not at all obvious that the Dave wagon was going through until he self-hammered.
This can easily be explained as scum distancing from his partner, busing when it suddenly seems to become necessary, then backpedaling from the bus when it turns out not to be necessary after all, but continuing to keep his distance.

Alternately, if you're town, you have much less confidence in your reads than you let on. You were suspicious of Dave from the beginning, but overstated your degree of suspicion. When he slipped, you took this as sufficient reason to join his wagon, but then got cold feet. You argued that this was because he was "probably town" but actually you're just afraid of mislynching.

@Mod: would you be so kind as to edit that opening list tag to '
  1. ' for me?


Sure.

Why is Creature obviously Chosen? I don't think nightkill logic applies here because scum probably planned on no killing.

How did you get these odds?

Oh. True. Kinda. Idk, if you think you're more NK-worthy than Grendel then sure.

VOTE: TTTT

  • The set of living players is {M(afia), C(hosen)1, C(hosen)2, T(ownie)1, T(ownie)2}
  • Choosing two lynches means choosing a size-two subset thereof.
  • There are 10 size-two subsets: {M, C1}, {M, C2}, {M, T1}, {M, T2}, {C1, C2}, {C1, T1}, {C1, T2}, {C2, T1}, {C2, T2}, {T1, T2}
  • 4 of these hit the mafioso: {M, C1}, {M, C2}, {M, T1}, {M, T2}
  • 1 of these hits both non-chosen: {T1, T2}
So 4/10 = 2/5 probability of hitting the mafioso, and 1/10 chance of hitting both non-chosen.

Note that the lynch order doesn't actually matter, except insofar as if we were to lynch a chosen today the Mafia might decide to kill after all which if anything would slightly improve our chances (under the assumption that we were choosing randomly).

if I flip Chosen you need to lynch in Umlaut-Human tomorrow
if I flip VT then lynch in Umlaut-Tenshii

tbh I think we should go at Umlaut and Tenshii because they're less likely to be Chosen. Though, I kinda wished we could end the game rn.

This is your slot, not you, but Misa's push on Creature never really made much sense from a town PoV. Creature's reasoning for suspecting Vedith as chosen was fairly transparent and he had explained it by the time Misa voted.

Is anything else going to happen today?

It seems early to end it, but everyone has posted and no one seems to have anything else they want done. Creature and Human are both pretty obvtown so I'm confident that we win by lynching everyone whose name starts with T.

I also think I have a townier record than Tenshii, so I'm not worried about a 1v1 there.

Intent: TTTT


By the way, if TTTT should flip regular townie, the mafia can't NK. Can we all agree that in that case we should just skip the night phase?

yep, I'm chosen
The two most likely scum both want me dead

@Human
Umlaut is prob scum but look at Tenshii, too

See you in the dead thread Creature

Fwiw though I think this will flip scum.
