[Dannflor]

[Dannflor]

[Dannflor]

I am definitely town this game.

[Dannflor]

[Dannflor]

i actually feel kinda sorry for the scumteam if they didn't think to ask for a sample town pm, i bet they weren't given one in their pt either

-mirage

-mirage

this post is why i town read wepick

what's town about it? it's not so obvious to me

I just think talking about the scum pt like that feels kinda awkward for scum

[Dannflor]

VOTE: ITF

[Dannflor]

i do not believe more heads are better than one in mafia

[Dannflor]

i also want to /in for chess

no i don't care im not in the hydra 1v1

[Dannflor]

join my wagon

[Dannflor]

ITF is scum

[Dannflor]

i do not believe either of the hydras are scum

jury is still out on hem

[Dannflor]

can we get crossfaded at the party, asking for a friend

[Dannflor]

wasn’t that in the sign up post

[Dannflor]

@Skygazer, Dann, Pooky, HEM, WePick

Did anything come from drinking for any of you guys?

-Luke

yes i learned something about skygazer's role

[Dannflor]

@Skygazer, Dann, Pooky, HEM, WePick

-Luke

yes i learned something about skygazer's role

could you share it

your ability has no nighttime component

i drank btw

[Dannflor]

selfvoting does not impact dann's ability

i did not know this about my own role

[Dannflor]

@Dann, does self voting impact your ability?

I don't think it has been specified I guess I'll ask

[Dannflor]

my role effect changes based on whether i get voted during a day phase, that is why I started D1 self voting, I didn't think to ask whether self voting counts

[Dannflor]

oh, that might mean it does work like any other vote then

I'll get back to you

[Dannflor]

did anyone target me with anything last night? i don't need to know what you did, just if I was targeted

[Dannflor]

VOTE: zefiend

is the game ez pz

[Dannflor]

skygazer you got correct info that self-voting is not beneficial in that self-voting basically deactivated my role for N1

[Dannflor]

i have a 100% scum elimination rate

omitting the times i eliminated town of course

[Dannflor]

VOTE: dannflor

[Dannflor]

VOTE: zefiend

[Dannflor]

I don't need anyone to vote me now

[Dannflor]

the cabal is likely not scum based on ITF's posts yesterday,

if appeals to logic mean anything delinquent anix

[Dannflor]

as far as I can tell zefiend's only crime is not being here quick enough yesterday

zefiend has many many more crimes to repent for

[Dannflor]

[Dannflor]

I'm assuming Anix

[Dannflor]

why do you want to prove it

[Dannflor]

sure I'll claim

if I *don't* get voted then the next night all night actions return a 0, this means they don't perform their primary function

if I *don't* get targeted with night actions, then the next day all day actions return a 0, this means they don't perform their primary function

I can choose one person each night to be exempt from this effect for that night and following day cycle

I assume I got targeted by a night action last night because otherwise I don't think jjh's day action would've worked and I chose someone else to be exempt

[Dannflor]

my flavor is a SUPP score of 0

[Dannflor]

i dont scum read you HEM dw

[Dannflor]

Do you have a better lead?

zefiend

[Dannflor]

maybe im scum too

[Dannflor]

quite frankly,

im not trying excessively hard because this is a meme bastard game that will only count in my w/l if i win

we've already killed 1 scum, i have no reason to think this game is exceptionally hard, this game is probably just over

zefiend has made scummy posts

i don't have any particular reason to think HEM is scum beyond this vague suspicion from a hydra i dont really trust to be telling the truth and honestly im not interested in it until someone decides they want to come out with hard information instead of vague threats

and ultimately i admit i think it would be quite cool if i voted nobody but myself and scum this game

[Dannflor]

I guess WePick's vague "70% chance HEM is scum" thing reads to me like a pocket read they hope becomes more clear mechanically, i kinda think they'd be more upfront if they had something like a soft guilty

which is not to diminish WePick's read, but I don't particularly have an opinion on HEM and I have a selfish interest in MY pocket read being correct

as far as Zefiend, their awkwardness could be attributable to this being their first game back on this site in years, I don't deny that

but i think they kinda overreact to suspicion while trying to maintain a jokey demeanor in [posst]471[/post]. that cross of being genuinely annoyed by someone taking your RVS post as suspicious while still trying to be like "lol idc im jsut being silly" is the type of contradiction that comes from scum a lot. you'll see townies drop the playful tone and just get annoyed, or stay playful and not seem annoyed at all, but scum ends up doing both a lot of the time

also idk what they are saying in 548. it's hard to figure out what position they actually have and it reads appeasey. like yes they don't mind mass claim but also they don't want to claim but yes they realize that's suspicious but maybe someone smart can figure out how to work around it. idgi

[Dannflor]

have you done anything all game

[Dannflor]

that's not an insult, just an illustration of how it feels like a bit of a nothing-observation to me

[Dannflor]

have you done anything all game

They brought me in, which basically means they were part of the mechanism that solved the game. What have you done, besides vote yourself?

vote scum

[Dannflor]

we can just start yeeting people and win

[Dannflor]

also down to just yeet klick to save anix having to find a replacement

[Dannflor]

VOTE: zefiend

[Dannflor]

[Dannflor]

my way *was* killing zefiend

[Dannflor]

you got to choose one

Bad or Scum

This is all a fair explanation. I'm trying to show intent on scum hunting and understanding the game but 1) it's bastard, 2) I legitimately missed a whole Day, 3) I reply to Cabal and get nothing in return (either strategically or because of having 11 heads)

I feel like HEM's done less than everyone to that end except Klick at this point so no problem going there. But if somehow Klick's role overpowers a prod then there is some serious bastardry going on.

contrast this to zefiend’s attitude towards me today

[Dannflor]

has everyone claimed yet

except for wepick ig

[Dannflor]

my flavor is a SUPP score of 0

[Dannflor]

I would have thought jjh's ability wouldn't have worked

admittedly Anix has been vague on what a role "returning a 0" really means

Who did you choose for the exception N1?

- Rat

pooky, don't ask me why except for a gut feeling that he was towny and also that if he had a day action he would make fun use of it

[Dannflor]

and I specifically was curious if I could stop jjh's action going off

[Dannflor]

I'm not sure that me giving immunity to a player would count as me actively targeting someone

[Dannflor]

like because there is a specific part of my role that says if I somehow got a night action, I would have to select myself to be immune to my role in order to use it

and that'd be kinda impossible if selecting someone to be immune was also a targeting action

[Dannflor]

don't rlly understand why we're going along with WePick's guilty when their first 100% guilty flipped town

what mech thing went over my head

[Dannflor]

tinfoil pooky's ability to be told random scum pt posts is true and how he and ITF were supposed to communicate

[Dannflor]

honestly that ability if true is wicked swingy and could just singlehandedly solve the game if it was a town role idk why i haven't thought about that before

[Dannflor]

like literally a PR hunting post made in the scum pt could be delivered to pooky and just reveal the team

i know the game is bastard but

[Dannflor]

unless the scum team was informed of that role ?

[Dannflor]

that would be funny

[Dannflor]

we got a real for reals guilty this time pinky promise

[Dannflor]

i knew it was HEM all along but i thought the game would be too easy if we killed him ya for sure

[Dannflor]

anecdotally i have better reads when i don't actually read the game

[Dannflor]

so how come jjh's day action worked
