TemporalLich's Grandest Idea uPick [Game Over]

[Cook]

then i realized "wait. this explicitly doesn't reveal the PM's of the team that made it, and it can't be randomly passed to mafia if i refuse it."

"this

has

to be legitimate. they'd only give this to me if they thought i'd use it."

i thought about it. i really did. i thought about posting to thread that i could end the game tomorrow but it wouldn't be any fun at all for anyone involved.

[Bingle]

So… you’re saying that the gamebreaking thing someone was actually allowed to do is the gamebreaking thing I was specifically prevented from doing by the mod?

[Cook]

Id have to read to see if bingle was hinting at you to use whatever

i'm thinking bingle (et al...?) thought i was a mafia traitor and was going to give it to me for that

but, yknow, i can't confirm that

[Cook]

So… you’re saying that the gamebreaking thing someone was actually allowed to do is the gamebreaking thing I was specifically prevented from doing by the mod?

i don't know what you were specifically prevented from doing! i'm not on your team, bingle!

[Bingle]

You’re legitimately accusing me of having given you the ability to reveal everyone’s roles publicly as mafia so that I could… immediately lose?

[Cook]

yes, and i'm about to call your bluff right now

PULL THE TROLLEY LEVER

[Bingle]

Okay, I guess? I’m kind of confused as to how literally gamethrowing is a bluff, but… I’ll take the win if you’re telling the truth?

what kind of a low down "ruin the game so it ends in a favorable result" scoundrel do you take me for of course i didn't accept your invention

why is this guy still alive btw

[Bingle]

I feel like I’m being accused of breaking into work on the weekend to catch up on paperwork without telling anyone.

Incidentally, that’s actually a thing I did yesterday, so I’m pretty sure I didn’t also do it in this mafia game.

[Cook]

surprise! your boss is mafia. none of this is real. you have to come into work at amway tomorrow.

wake up

wake up

wake up

wake u-

[Cook]

but seriously, i've told you what i know. i have caught scum and i'm willing to bet the farm on being right

we can search for partners, we can massclaim, we can do whatever. this is gonna be our way forward on PMELO though.

So the premise here is that I gave you an invention that would be actionably gamethrowing and you refused it. And then I claimed that tlich wouldn’t let me give you the invention that was actionably gamethrowing, despite tlich actually allowing said invention to exist. And then also you didn’t accept the actionably gamethrowing invention, which in itself would be pretty much gamethrowing.


I’m trying really hard not to be insulted at how shit at game design you think I am, tbh.

With 10 alive it takes 6 to exile.

Day 3 will end in (expired on 2023-10-23 17:00:00) or when an exile is reached.

[pisskop]

I have no clue whats going on wrt the setup, but I do think cook is 3p or town. And I do like competing wagons

VOTE: bingle

[Bingle]

I think cook is town, fwiw. I think that she’s smart enough to know I absolutely would not hand someone a button that lets them make me lose the game if she thinks about it, but I have absolutely no doubts that she expects me to flip mafia right now.

so you made the invention...?

i think you're talking in circles

[Cook]

fwiw no role exists in the GIM thread proper that does this exact thing with the exact framing of it being a trolley problem

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm confused rn

[Cook]

I'm confused rn

night 1, i received an invention from the mafia. it was a trolley problem lever.

i could pull it and out the full, unredacted role PMs of every non-mafia player in the game. this would kill me in the process, but would guarantee that town won the game.
i could not pull it and kill a random non-mafia player, and pass the lever to someone who isn't mafia. (free nightkill and kick the can down the line)

i had the option of accepting this or not. earliest i would be able to pull it was today had i taken it

this seems ludicrously unfair for this game, so i decided not to take it

but when bingle then claimed he had a gamebreaking role?

can you put the dots together

[Cook]

the confusing bit is that this invention or a corresponding inventor for it doesn't show up in the gim thread

[Cook]

so i really don't know how it could have shown up...?

[Cook]

there's a lot of confusing stuff here now that i'm thinking about it

[pisskop]

And just to be sure, you actually got a power, and not just a message from a note writer?

[Cook]

And just to be sure, you actually got a power, and not just a message from a note writer?

i'm pretty certain, since i got a receipt back confirming i was rejecting the lever
