^this was an amazing post. i'm still trying to figure out how lying cat talked you out of it.In post 305, Belisarius wrote:I found the FUD.
I realised while I was eating dinner just now that there was a big massive problem with my thought process from yesterday: I was treating LC as confTown because kaboom had confirmed the accuracy of his tracker result. Problem is, that doesn't mean confirmed town, that means confirmedtracker, and that's not the same thing, and I should have realised it sooner for two reasons:
1) I was just part of a review process where it was suggested that the scum be given a tracker instead of a rolecop to help them find Town PRs (I can't remember which game it is, but I think it's probably one that hasn't started, so even if I find it, I can't link the QT. It might even be one of mine, in which case it definitely hasn't started because the only reviewed game I've run was JCM)
2) Cabd pwned me with a similar trick in Cephrir's A Memory of Light
Here's where the FUD came in: LC seized control of the town yesterday with a plan. The only flaw in that plan is that it wouldn't work if I were a roleblocker. Thus was the seed of fear planted.
What happens today? LC claims to have been roleblocked, reinforcing the FUD instantiated yesterday.
I went nowhere last night. If I were tracked, I should be confTown right now. By claiming to be roleblocked, LC is keeping his options open to vote either of the other players should the opportunity arise. Depending on gamestate, he can try to kill either of us.
The original plan was to lynch kaboom yesterday, and Varsoon or I today. I fell for it and would have gone along with it quite cheerfully, unless I was designated as the 3p lylo lynch. As a scum plan, it would have worked flawlessly.
If I'm right, that play is worth 1,000 Magnificent Bastard points. It's very Seventh Doctor.
There's only one reason I'm not voting right now, and it's as follows:
Gimme surprise. Is it candy? I love candy.In post 297, kabooooom wrote:Yeah, i have a surprise for both you as well.
also,
this game is a case study in why self voting is (almost) always a bad idea.The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.-

Beliiii!! You should have given me more time!!
there was no single lynch in this game which used enough time to extract info on players intentions. As for me, i should have given more time to this game. I knew beli was town, but LC's play was pretty town. So i was confused.
thanks antihero for modding.
gg everyone.
well played LC.Nothing to see here, move on!-

while ya'll did get lucky and hit scum day 1, the quicklynches ended up biting you in the ass
in fact, this game is also a case study on why quicklynches are bad.The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.-

It's simple. I bought the argument that the setup couldn't have been balanced in a way where a D1 massclaim would have broken it.-

nah, wouldn't have broken it. the scum roles weren't inherently "scummy" and the town roles weren't inherently "townie". the roles were nerfed enough to where i didn't think a roleblocker was needed.In post 333, Belisarius wrote:

the most powerful role was probably bert's (the delayer) especially once you got down to 1 scum. but, as lying cat pointed out himself, there really weren't many town with night actions to roleblock.The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.-

Yeah I lied. Breaking the setup would have needed to be done day 2 or later, and would have required a spectacular amount of trust.-

Also Beli we're splitting the Bastard points. Jingle claims the core concept and I claim the execution and manipulation.
GG all, that was a scary one. We were on the edge of our seats the whole way through.-

no, i'm serious. you are a solid scum player (i forgot to mention that lover one where you were my man friend...)
even the scum game you lost, you weren't suspected at all and were nightkilled by your own scumteam (even after you pretty much outright told them you were the traitor in the game thread with a brilliant in-plain-sight crumb).The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.-
