[Varsoon]

Oh hi
VOTE: Bins

[Varsoon]

Wait, shit, Salamence's post is a scumslip, nvmd
VOTE: Salamence

[Varsoon]

What's that do?

Shit. man, she kidnapped herself.

P-EDIT:
Wait what

[Varsoon]

VOTE: Bins
I guess? Given the nature of all this new shit, you know

[Varsoon]

I don't know why you'd out yourself like that, dude.

[Varsoon]

How do I know your ability does the thing you said it does and you're town 'cus of it?

[Varsoon]

/shrugs
Realized this is a 9player micro
so squeezy tight
we can only fuck up like 3 times.

[Varsoon]

UNVOTE:

Miller in a setup that's 9 people.
Hokay.
Intent to hammer, I guess.

[Varsoon]

VOTE: Cho
Sounds okay to me.
Ive been really busy IRL but luckily this game didnt explode.

[Varsoon]

I actually have some reason to believe that Sala's lying in that claim.
'cus I'm kinda in a neighborhood with a doctor.
And that player isn't Sala.
VOTE: Sala

I was kiiiinda hoping the quick pressure on Cho would get Cho posting.
It kinda didn't. :/
I don't know how to feel about Layla's claim.

[Varsoon]

I believe that Salamence is likely telling the truth as far as flavor goes.
I'm extra sketch on there being two fucking doctors in the setup, though.

[Varsoon]

Well, hot shit, then.
VOTE: Cho

[Varsoon]

I, uh, I went with 7.
I also got my first-pick character.

[Varsoon]

It's as if Shos completely missed the

Roleclaim

and is focusing entirely on a flavor claim that I don't give much of a shit about.
:l

[Varsoon]

Why so 'ugh', Bins?

[Varsoon]

Well, that's the problem with Apathy, isn't it?
It's not really pro-town regardless.

[Varsoon]

I don't really have any experience with Cho, so /shrugs.
When someone gets run up for lynch and they're all 'eh', what do you normally do?

[Varsoon]

I'm pretty much on Layla's page here.
I believe the miller claim and I, at least, am skeptical about Salamence and have voiced that, but it seems like he's saying his ability is kind of like doctor but also not?

[Varsoon]

Cho, I'm not scum. Sorry, yo.

[Varsoon]

I don't see

why

you think I'm scum, though.

[Varsoon]

I also received a Waffle.
I wonder if there are repercussions for claiming that shit.

If that's a no-kill, it's good shit and means, hopefully, that the doc chose right.

Here are my reads:
Bins - I think this is town. Has really good engagement, I feel.
CB - Town. Despite not being on dat Cho wagon, feels independent and non-sheepy while having a clear head about things.
Layla - Iffy on this. I don't like the claim that much, so maybe it should be lynched? Eeeeeh. Was early and stuck to the Cho wagon, though, so I think Layla's off the table for today.
Lucky2u - Literally who? Very null. Might be scum looking for bussing townpoints. :l I don't like this slot's input so far.
Salamence20 - Initially bugged me a LOT but feels more town than scum at this point.
shos - I don't like Shos' pushes and the fact Shos wasn't on the Cho wagon. Would lynch.
Varsoon - Oh hai I'm town and can maybe confirm it in a bit?
ZZZX - Don't like how he's got me and my townier reads at the top of his scum-list and my scummier reads at the town-end of his list, but eh. Fairly null, although the engagement with the game is good.

[Varsoon]

Town.
I like your pushes and game engagement.
:3

[Varsoon]

My lynch-pool is Lucky, Shos, and ZZZX. I'd be happy with any of those.

[Varsoon]

VOTE: ZZZX

Gonna put my money where my mouth is.

[Varsoon]

That's L-1, by my count.

I don't think shos is town.
:l

[Varsoon]

No.
He's not the doc/neighbor of mine.

[Varsoon]

Nah.
We actually didn't get the chance to discuss your role during the night phase. I think we're okay with it, given the nature of the game.

[Varsoon]

Holy shit everyone stop.
CB's my mason partner.
We're being mass-redirected, likely.

[Varsoon]

Furthermore, I'm the actual doctor.
I tried to make it seem like I wasn't so that I could continue to protect us from kills but it looks like there's no more killing happening (if there was at all in the first place?).
CB's got an ability called 'Silencer'; He's able to make a player unable to post anything but votes and unvotes. Despite not using that ability, it was forced on Shos the other day, apparently.

[Varsoon]

I'm The Dude Lebowski, CB's Walter, for flavor.
I've been targeting CB with my doctor ability each night, hoping to protect him from kills. I... guess it's worked?

[Varsoon]

So yeah, I don't know what the heck is going on in this setup.
I get verification if I protected a player from Nightkills, which leads me to believe Sala's claim.
Each time I actually block a night kill, I get a white russian. If I ever successfully block two or more, I lose my ability to doctor people because I'm drunk.
I assume this is to stop a 'follow the X' sort of playstyle.

[Varsoon]

Alternatively, we've all been mass-redirected and you're just speculating. :l
My role pm specifically states that CB is 'aligned with the Town.'

[Varsoon]

Actually, Bins, how did you know you were redirected the other day so assuredly?
:l

[Varsoon]

I'm gonna freaking claim I got redirected

YA SON OF A BITCH THAT RUINS TWO NIGHTS FOR ME

I GOT REDIRECTED

AS IN

I KNOW I GOT REDIRECTED

CAUSE MY ACTION WORKED DIFFERENTLY

What action do you have that's not cop?

[Varsoon]

Based on how the role pms for flipped scum are written, there seems to only be 2 scum, layla.

[Varsoon]

They're all "Your partner is..." and "You and your partner..."

[Varsoon]

VOTE: Layla
Following Lucky down the Rabbit Hole.

[Varsoon]

[Varsoon]

I didn't get a waffle this time, by the by.

[Varsoon]

I think your waffles are a way for us to tell how the redirecting is working

[Varsoon]

Well hot shit.
:l

[Varsoon]

I guess that's that.

[Varsoon]

I've actually been misreading my role, lol.

I'm Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski.
I can target a player and any players that visit my target will be protected from all kills that night. I earn a White Russian for each player who is protected this way. I've been misreading this and just thinking it was literally just doctor. Well.
If I ever have more than 2 White Russians, I can't use the doctor ability.
I share a masonry with CB, who I know to be Walter Sobchak and aligned with town.

I have another ability called I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in but the description is just Yea yea oh yea.
/shrug

[Varsoon]

Oh, also, yeah, what layla said.

[Varsoon]

Oh, I thought that was a hammer on Layla. Huh.

[Varsoon]

Actually, Bins, just tell me your target and I'll reflexive doc the same person and hey you can stay around.

[Varsoon]

I've still got doctorin' powers. I targeted CB again, lol.
I don't even know what's going on this game, but I don't wanna lynch CB.

[Varsoon]

I'd be more comfortable voting Shos over Bins or CB.

[Varsoon]

Ya'll can make this lynch happen without me.

[Varsoon]

So! Yeah!
What do?

[Varsoon]

Lynching Bins kinda solves a lot of this too, to be honest.

[Varsoon]

Well we get to see if your claim isn't bullshit, for one.

Hey! It's not like I'm votin'.

[Varsoon]

[Varsoon]

I was really tempted to get a bunch of people to /in to this game and choose John Turturro characters for, like, almost every slot.

I'm cool with you releasing the Mason PT!

This game was a lot of fun. I loved the roles and flavor. :3

[Varsoon]

Holy shit all those 10s
I can't even

[Varsoon]

I can't believe Shomer Shabbos
Man dese roles

[Varsoon]

Shit yeah, I even got a white russian in there.

I think my only criticism, if any, would be that I wasn't aware the bolded always denoted an ability--ergo, I would have never thought to use '

just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

'

[Varsoon]

Yeah! I really liked the role PM formatting a lot, though!
You'll see it return in my Steven Universe game. Hopefully there won't be any confusion over what's what. :3

I think modifying it to a survivor-type wincon probably would be a little more in town's interest.

[Varsoon]

I liked the White Russian wincon, I think that was inventive as far as third party wincons go.

[Varsoon]

Yeah, regardless, town played fantastically here. Really smart lynches, good use of abilities, so on and so forth.
It's surprising that the game was so short page-wise, too. Things happened in a very concise manner.

[Varsoon]

I dunno, CB, you didn't have any killing power (that wasn't reactionary), so once Bins was free to cop people all over the place, you were doomed. I guess you could've silenced Bins or something? Hm.

On Saturdays, when people vote for you, it counts as two votes. Shomer fuckin' Shabbos.

[Varsoon]

I was actually really worried that we beat the whole scumteam and the other third-party was Bins.
I kept mulling over how to possibly get a Bins lynch without people wanting me super dead right after.

[Varsoon]

Bulge saw all them 10's and got mad thirsty
EVEN THE REVIEWERS BE TRIPPIN
This was a fantastic game regardless, I agree.
