ranger what chess elo are you

I peaked at 500, when I played regularly.

What can you tell us about the chess games this match? List of moves/Name of opening/How much did your opponent blunder/Did they ever En Passant/Castle?

You're going to be disappointed. When I say I peaked at 500 playing regularly, I mean I'm

significantly worse

now, because I've not played chess in 15 years.

The first game went like this. (I thought I was playing against an idiot. Turns out I'm the idiot.)

White Queen's Pawn two forward to d4.
I put my Black darksquare bishop's Pawn to f5.
White's darksquare Bishop to g5.
I put my Black rook's Pawn to h6.
White's darksquare Bishop to f4.
I put my Black knight's Pawn to g5.
White's darksquare Bishop to g3.
I put my Black darksquare bishop's Pawn to f4.
White's king's Pawn to e3.
I captured the darksquare Bishop with my darksquare bishop's Black Pawn to e3.
White's lightsquare Bishop to d3.
I put my Black knight's Pawn to b5. (I was aiming for their rook, since I was sure they couldn't save it.)
White Bishop moved to g6, which was checkmate.

The second game never played out.

White king's Pawn to e4.
I put my black queen's Pawn to e5.
White queen's Pawn to d4.
I forfeited, due to friend emergency.

Why didn't Ircher hammer himself when he was at E-1?

Ircher's already in antispew mode, and the town can continue talking in PTs during the night with the information of his flip. Hammering himself doesn't prevent the town from gaining anything.

In contrast, if Ircher in antispew mode can actually swing a Rautherdir elimination, then Ircher gains a free mislim and goes down instantly tomorrow.

[Ranger]

I'll say another possible motive for no hammer is a supersaint aspect to Ircher's role, so it'd be best to have someone we can afford to lose as the hammer, just in case. I'd volunteer Morning Tweet, as her role's more powerful from the dead thread.

[Rautherdir]

Nightmare mechanic means self-hammer isn't as valuable if we already have a proposal up. Or yeah, vengeful sort of thing.

[Rautherdir]

Annoying cause from my perspective Morning Tweet is almost certainly town, but yeah scum wouldn't be hammering in that situation and this is the odd moment where someone's role works while dead.

[Rautherdir]

Alternatively we try to get the next person in the poe to hammer. Oh and uh I guess I should probably do this:
HURT: usesPython

I have another theory about what is going on but it's not likely I think and I don't know what to do if it is the case.

[Ircher]

Make both town assuming there isn't a cult. If there is a cult then uh. Hmm. Ircher if scum have a reason to suspect a cult please just tell us because they're probably close to a win right now.

Why would I help /you/ of all people here? Your scum, and you know it.

[Rautherdir]

It's the difference between me trying to shoot scum tonight and me trying to catch cult.

[Rautherdir]

If you have a mechanical reason to think I lied abouty role and actions then uh. Not sure what to tell you cause I said the truth about both.

[Morning Tweet]

I believe scum have figured this out by now so I'll go ahead and say it. My flip would actually prove Morning Tweet and Ranger's claims and make both town, given that both of them claimed the unique modifier before I claimed my role which has the reason for that modifier existing. If Ircher flips with the redirecting component then my night action should be very predictable.

I don't see any reason scum can't have a unique ability. But granted, it does seem like our roles are too powerful or not meant to be outside of town's hands

[Morning Tweet]

I think there's been adequate time to call your shots if you wanted to say where you're aiming

technically we could have someone in PoE hammer but the allure of gambling has already gotten to me

[Morning Tweet]

if i die i die


VOTE: Ircher

[Rautherdir]

Scum could also have unique, sure. The main connotation was that your roles were probably true, and both medium and IC are pretty much only ever going to be town roles.

Spoiler: Game 1

1. d4 f5 2. Bg5 h6 3. Bh4 g5 4. Bg3 f4 5. e3 fxg3 6. Bd3 b5 7. Bg6#

Spoiler: Game 2

1. e4 e5 2. d4

Anon definitely has some skill in tactics to spot 7. Bg6# but they missed an earlier checkmate with

Spoiler: 6. Qh5#

1. d4 f5 2. Bg5 h6 3. Bh4 g5 4. Bg3 f4 5. e3 fxg3 6. Qh5#

which makes me think they played 6. Bd3 as a natural move to develop their bishop and only then spotted the tactic. I think I can clear Snivy here by playstyle since he played much more solid and conservative moves with us compared to the aggressive 2. Bg5 or gambity 2. d4

[usesPython]

Checking Snivy and KKFC creates a winning POE right? like even with cult we hit the CL with that POE

[sheepsaysmeep]

lmfao

[sheepsaysmeep]

I'll play u in chess to clear myself

[sheepsaysmeep]

anything interesting happen that ive missed

is there like a circling summary post of mechanical stuff or something

Ircher got hammered I think and he apparently had information that Rauth lied about night actions. Ranger plays chess at night so we're chess hunting to see who it is. I think that's about everything?

[sheepsaysmeep]

wild

[sheepsaysmeep]

if nurse/ircher slot is mafia I claim another round of non-w/w cred for something like multiple day phases ago

[usesPython]

Metaing Irchers chess games on this site I think I can clear him from being the chess player (Not that it matters rn though)

[Korina]

Flip will happen when I get home from work—apologies for no VCs yesterday because work exhausted me.

[Flea The Magician]

Catch ya later aligators
