I

PISS

and

SHIT

all over the place.

[humaneatingmonkey]

VOTE: WePick

Wow, that's a lot of people! One of those is bound to be scum!

[humaneatingmonkey]

I just realized that if any of us drops out of this game, it will be a struggle to find replacements - given that every active player seems to already be here.

[humaneatingmonkey]

Dann, why do you townread WePick?

[humaneatingmonkey]

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

this post is why i town read wepick

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

[humaneatingmonkey]

if a hydra gets eliminated, will it free the rest of its heads to replace in this game as another slot?

[humaneatingmonkey]

i prefer a hydra elimination actually because 11 players in one slot means there's no meaningfully reading that slot. for me at least. it's a skill issue.

[humaneatingmonkey]

It should

so it's more like a pinata then? where i eliminate you, and then i get to play with my favorite players after?

i don't need to say which players. they know who they are.

[humaneatingmonkey]

it would be fun to decide a 2v1 ELo between The Cabal and WePick so that prospect is actually exciting

[humaneatingmonkey]

imagine the amount of meta they'll have to pull on each other

[humaneatingmonkey]

@ITF are you an alt? or are you new?

[humaneatingmonkey]

We need to bow out before melo/elo if the game doesn't end first. But, we'd like to catch some scum first.

for boring reasons, who said this?

[humaneatingmonkey]

very lit

[humaneatingmonkey]

the only way you'll have me believe that you're not scum is if you win the cabal vs wepick showdown

[humaneatingmonkey]

btw, you're seriously claiming death miller? that's not a meme claim?

[humaneatingmonkey]

can you give us more info? what's your win condition?

[humaneatingmonkey]

so are you a death miller only in so far as you flip scum when you die? or if you're visited by an investigative, you'll be a positive result as well?

[humaneatingmonkey]

we can play, dann

[humaneatingmonkey]

I will tunnel you if you shit stir on a slot that it is pointless to shit stir on

can you say more? how is it pointless to talk about your claim?

[humaneatingmonkey]

btw, how many scum in 11 players? 3?

[humaneatingmonkey]

so i'm struggling to see why we'd like to keep you alive when you could just literally be scum and we won't find out until the game ends. i feel like i'd rather flip you then get pleasantly surprised when the game ends after we flip 1 and a half scum. eliminating you will give us a sample red pm too and i think that's relevant because anix didn't give out anything in the first page. scum could have a crazy wild reveal on win con and having that day 1 will be enormous.

on one hand, i don't see scum going into the thread with a bunch of all-stars and then going too scummy to be scum. they're immediately going to be in the elim pool one way or the other. so I'm weighing it against the possibility that you're the 1/2 scum PR that activates some sort of ability for your team upon death.

[humaneatingmonkey]

Or rather, I'm keeping an eye on things and the gaming will start when Klick shows up

what's the wait for

[humaneatingmonkey]

Klick to show up

okay if we're gonna be like that then

[humaneatingmonkey]

quote this if you want to party

but when the party starts, keep in mind that alcohol brings the truth out and weed makes your more paranoid

is this serious

[humaneatingmonkey]

hey cabal, was it a unanimous decision to claim death miller upon entrance? what's the structure like?

[humaneatingmonkey]

i dont know if an abnormal wincon is as likely as anything if anix decided to hide sample role pms. also, 11-headed scum unanimously voting to fakeclaim deathmiller is only unlikely if they're a goon or something. and that's assuming if it's a unanimous vote, not a majority/plurality. but if they're a special kind of scum that activates something upon death then it's probably going to be the top strategy, even unanimously.

[humaneatingmonkey]

...how unimportant do you think it is? is there anything in your iso yet or in this game that you think i should be paying other attention to?

[humaneatingmonkey]

what i mean about the structure question: do your heads vote? is there a top dog? is there a main player? is everyone unanimously voting for you to be more active now? what's the structure like?

I'll have a lot of questions like this because i don't think I've ever played with an ELEVEN HEADED HYDRA

[humaneatingmonkey]

i'm not particular on day 1, but sure. also we have roles that make you choose smoke or drink, so i don't think we're playing in-the-box.

are you townreading the claim, jjh927?

[humaneatingmonkey]

Uhh... I'm not trying to figure out how to interact with an 11 person hydra. I'm trying to figure out the logistics of saying you got 11 heads unanimously voting to claim at daystart and wanted to know how that went.

[humaneatingmonkey]

claiming a death miller out of nowhere is scummy isn’t good thinking

says you

[humaneatingmonkey]

if you're scum, you wouldn't be a death miller you would just be scum

[humaneatingmonkey]

what the hell is ITF

[humaneatingmonkey]

Once per day, if a member of The Administrative Team took no action the previous night, you may choose to Ban a Warned player.

Someone will die today

[humaneatingmonkey]

I'm assuming all scum has it, especially if no one died tonight

[humaneatingmonkey]

Arsonists

[humaneatingmonkey]

Why do you scumread me?

[humaneatingmonkey]

i chose smoke and it says you don't have an ability

[humaneatingmonkey]

so zefiend is not actually god?

[humaneatingmonkey]

i think dann, sky probably town. pooky and halfasleep town but less so because ITF is super bussable. jjh probably town too. zefiend questionable after rescinding plausible claim but folding when challenged. i'd vote there if i'm not scared of that ending the day phase immediately. I'm still waiting on klick.

[humaneatingmonkey]

Does anyone really scumread me here? I'll claim if people want to eliminate me but there's a negative incentive to claim right now.

[humaneatingmonkey]

i think dann, sky probably town. pooky and halfasleep town but less so because ITF is super bussable. jjh probably town too. zefiend questionable after rescinding plausible claim but folding when challenged. i'd vote there if i'm not scared of that ending the day phase immediately. I'm still waiting on klick.

What do you think of WePick? How do you feel about their claiming to have something they feel is incriminating on you? Does that make sense to you?

It depends on what they have on me, if it's my role name then I understand and it's NAI. If it's anything else, I don't believe it.

[humaneatingmonkey]

i will not full claim until it's absolutely necessary. make it absolutely necessary and then we talk, but by then i should warn people that there's a negative incentive in doing that.

[humaneatingmonkey]

where is klick?

[humaneatingmonkey]

i don't trust like that. get dann or sky to agree and then we talk.

[humaneatingmonkey]

baby, you're just one in eleven heads and a slot in ten players. i can wait.

[humaneatingmonkey]

VOTE: Klick

game moves tooooooooooooo slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[humaneatingmonkey]

intent to hammer

[humaneatingmonkey]

im very tuned out at this point, it's probably just zefiend

[humaneatingmonkey]

VOTE: zefiend

if this ends the game, that would be two games won today

[humaneatingmonkey]

and if there were a 3p, cabal's stand-out activity and tryharding plus the sus claim immediately outs them as the third party

that's right i'm sussing you back

[humaneatingmonkey]

I'm the Red Crown, if Anix finds me they get a night kill. I'm not informed if they find me in the day or the night, just that they find me. So I know there's a role named Anix, I was just not sure if it's a third party or admin-aligned. If mafia team are arsonists then game would have been over by now. I also don't want to reveal myself because a name like "red crown" isn't really a good look, but there's negative incentive to claiming early.

[humaneatingmonkey]

also the wording is specifically vague in that I don't know what alignment Anix is, just that if Anix finds me (yes, finds me - that vague - I don't know if that means if my role card is flipped or if they have a mechanism to target me during the night) they get the ability to ban in the night

[humaneatingmonkey]

I'm good with this just as long as everyone agrees to eliminate Cabal and WePick before ELo.

[humaneatingmonkey]

I'm gonna give this a solid read sometime in the next 48 hours. Probably not, if I'm gonna be honest. But I'll try to give a solid legacy

[humaneatingmonkey]

I think there's no way Dann is bussing scum. If we can confirm halfasleep has an extra vote, there's no way they're bussing scum. But we need to confirm it today.

[humaneatingmonkey]

I didn't realize we're now down to 7 players and we only have 2 MLs max.

[humaneatingmonkey]

Wepick, what happened to your 100% guilty?

-Bell

The weird edge case happened. Consult zefiend's flip and behavior prior to it.

- Rat

what do you mean by that

[humaneatingmonkey]

I'm the Red Crown, if Anix finds me they get a night kill. I'm not informed if they find me in the day or the night, just that they find me. So I know there's a role named Anix, I was just not sure if it's a third party or admin-aligned. If mafia team are arsonists then game would have been over by now. I also don't want to reveal myself because a name like "red crown" isn't really a good look, but there's negative incentive to claiming early.

There sure is, do you have any night actions or abilities or just your entire game is about hiding from one player?

-Bell

I can shine. I haven't done it yet, because it will probably just reveal me to Anix

[humaneatingmonkey]

how?

[humaneatingmonkey]

It blinds anyone who targets me during the night and causes their night action to fail, and then something written about making it easier to spot me. Super vague stuff, it does not even reference Anix. Just that it will make it easier to spot me

[humaneatingmonkey]

the red crown is blue, user-aligned.
if i'm scum, i'm not so dumb as to claim anything touching the red color if i know that's basically going to be a scum claim. i would have access to ITF's scum flip. i would have access to Anix's gameposts.
i would have still needed to play to my win con.
i'm also not so dumb to soft anything about anix if i know an anix is looking for me so they can get a night kill.
i also don't think that a role that summons delinquent anix is necessarily the anix looking for me. i never thought it's actually anix, the user the mod, trying to find me.
i just know that there's an Anix that does not have access to their night kill. I'm not informed if Anix is admin-aligned or a 3-p. i'm informed it's trying to find me, but what method or how isn't explicitly said.

[humaneatingmonkey]

it could be, but after night 1, i'm doubtful

[humaneatingmonkey]

I think the person who WePick is claiming to have redirected them should claim. If the person doesn't exist, WePick is confirmed to be lying. I think I'm the easiest miselimination right now, as I'm the only one outside of ITF's wagon (though I was there in spirit) and if Wepick is scum, I'm the person to push. I don't think town!WePick extracts information from my slot twice if they've already have before, and I think if scum!WePick makes any other plays (claim information about someone else) then it's less likely for them to gather votes because they'll be alienating another slot.

[humaneatingmonkey]

If town, WePick is definitely overselling their confidence in my slot. I'm thinking how eleven hydra heads just decide to do that, so I'm thinking that it's just a very confident and charismatic person leading the charge. If the rest of the game townreads me then they should at least flip WePick first so they can decide for themselves how valuable their results are once they read their flip. I guarantee you it's going to be a nothingburger.

[humaneatingmonkey]

well, jjh is there as well but I think WePick is already positioning against them here after I flip

Red always mafia

I will take you activating delinquent AniX again as a scumsiding 3p claim, btw. I think it’s a reasonable assumption that donning the red crown will make delinquent AniX scum.

[humaneatingmonkey]

tell me you're cheesing fam

[humaneatingmonkey]

This is my thoughts on the matter

[humaneatingmonkey]

(I'm the chad and WePick is the soyjack)

[humaneatingmonkey]

good luck guys

[humaneatingmonkey]

this is unwinnable for you btw, if you're scum

[humaneatingmonkey]

they're even apologizing in advance

my legacy reads are wepick is probably the last scum or the cabal. the cabal has some serious TMI-feels before zefiend flipped. if scum is jjh or pooky, then ggs

[humaneatingmonkey]

oh i don't understand a single thing that's happening in this game mechanically. i was just provoked into voting by the soyjack.

hater

[humaneatingmonkey]

massive L

[humaneatingmonkey]

if cabal is scum then there's a chance that it's probably not the last scum after all, and we've been fed bad info. being a death miller and all, they really shouldn't reach ELo anyway

[humaneatingmonkey]

whatever losers. im obviously still the alpha of this playerlist

[humaneatingmonkey]

zefiend, you're right about players being cliquish, but the thing about fitting in is pretending that you do. we're all nerds here. feel free to pretend as if you belong.

[humaneatingmonkey]

i'm pretending i belong right now!
