[Persivul]

Persivul, what are your reads like now?

Elbirn town based on posts and votes.

You and skitter likely town based on posts. Two caveats: A50 made some scum speculation based on playing with you. He didn't press it much, and I don't trust that he's town, but it stuck in the back of my mind.

Varsoon is a special case. Based on his posting I would have him as scum, but he proved that he was able to make himself voteless, and if I were scum, that's not something I'd want to do. BUT, he might do it as scum if he was really confident that his buddies weren't going to be in danger (that's my second caveat on you/skitter).

BEF - still scum. I don't buy the too dumb to be scum argument. I've been scum with people that did really stupid things without asking about it. It happens. His claimed role would be negative utility for town, and you already claimed a negative utility role. That doesn't fit with common sense or especially with current site meta. Unfortunately he seems to be unlynchable.

mcqueen, implosion, A50 - what I'm working on. I can never read A50, but at least I have some idea of what he's said. mcqueen and implosion have left no real mark. It's generally a red flag when someone's been posting but is still a null by D3. That's why I targeted mcqueen last night.

[BrightEyedFish]

why else was there no NK?

Probably because I was commuted until today.
Y'know
The thing that was claimed today
in the thread
that you read

So scum claimed you were the attempted NK? Because I didn't read that.

[Varsoon]

BEF
You asked why else there'd be no NK other than fishing that a protective role might have been on you
Despite my claim existing
And here you are
STILL trying to get town protectives/anti-kill roles outted
VOTE: BEF
I just can't

When did I advocate for the explicit outing of a proc?

Yabut chara and skitter have feelz, so it doesn't matter what fish does.

[Persivul]

I'm thinking I was probably a strong option for a NK

So you think I'm town?

How did you come to that conclusion from that quote?

But to answer your question, I don't have you as a top lynch candidate right now.

[Persivul]

How did you come to that conclusion from that quote?

With the attention that's been given to the hood, scum!pers wouldn't want to kill the only other known member of the hood, thereby putting himself at risk. That's why yesterday you came out of the gate gunning for me, then were willing to switch to zito...but now I'm not a priority.

I switched to PZ with just a few hours left to deadline it had nothing to do with you or the hood.

[Varsoon]

You literally asked what else could have stopped the kill while also speculating that a protective was covering you at night.
You also have claimed a role that should be provable but that you still have not proven.

Exactly. It was speculatory. Are we not allowed to speculate and should just let you run the show?

I have no defense thst I haven't already stated for the 2nd part of you post.

[Varsoon]

Didn't you try targeting a second person that wasn't Chara?

Speculation's the usual smokescreen for rolefishing.
If you flip scum, I actually think it's very likely scum didn't try to kill me and you're trying to figure out why else the kill may have failed.

[Varsoon]

UNVOTE:

You can confirm your role at least, can't you?

[Varsoon]

I voted you earlier because, on top of the fishing, I thought you said that you tried targeting Chara TWICE with the neighborizor
But it seems like maybe you didn't?

[Almost50]

I confused the ascetic claim with A50 because they have a hydra named Almost Chara.

Well, it's no secret I enjoy playing in that hydra, but now I have an additional reason to enjoy it's existence even when we're playing separately.

[Almost50]

His claimed role would be negative utility for town

How is BEF's role a -ve utility for Town? I am 100% positive BEF is

mechanically

clear.

@Varsoon: So, what "other enemies" do we have, aside from Phantoms (flavor-wise, I mean)?

[Persivul]

How is BEF's role a -ve utility for Town?

It's not a regular motivator. It gives multitasking, which is generally a scum trait.

[skitter30]

why is he mechanically clear?

[Varsoon]

@Almost50: So there's the Typhon, which is a whole race of mimic monsters that are ostensibly at war with humanity. Phantoms are just a kind of Typhon. They've got different 'types' like Cystoid, Mimic, Moon Shark, Nightmare, Phantom, Poltergeist, Telepath, Technopath, Tentacle Nest, Weaver, and Apex.

As far as I can tell from the flavor of this game of mafia, we're probably all just the humans aboard the spaceship that the game of Prey (2017) takes place on. On the most basic level, the conflicts in the game are between humans and Typhon, but there ARE human enemies that you can fight in the game (and mind-controlled ones, at that) as well as robot enemies that exist. I think the goal of this game of mafia is to depict the surface-level conflict between the humans and the Typhon, though. There's some pretty huge twists later on in the game that kinda make you question who's the good guys or not but based on flips so far I think we can probably just approach this flavor as if it's non-mindfucky for now but don't rule anything out.

So, TL;DR: Typhon are the main bad guys, but robots and humans can be bad too.

[skitter30]

The following is public knowledge: the setup consists of a town faction (Human) and a single groupscum faction (Typhon), where "groupscum" is defined as having more than one player. Typhon will have daytalk and safe claims. It is not public knowledge whether other alignments exist in the game.

[Almost50]

@BEF: I probably can ISO you, but I'm lazy.. your target gets a Neighborhood PT with you, right? Does this happen instantaneously or when the day ends?
Also, even if the target had no action they should be notified they are now multi-tasking, yes?

In fact, the second question should be directed at the mod..

@Mod: Assuming the existence of a role that gives it's target the multi-tasking modifier, and that said role has the Day modifier..
Does the target get notified instantly that they have become multi-tasking regardless of whether they have multiple actions (or actions at all)?

[Varsoon]

Once again, if you're a fan of System Shock or Bioshock or even Deus Ex, I highly recommend this game because it's a spiritual successor to all of those and is a fantastic time.

[BrightEyedFish]

I voted you earlier because, on top of the fishing, I thought you said that you tried targeting Chara TWICE with the neighborizor
But it seems like maybe you didn't?

No, just once on D2.

[skitter30]

you didn't target anyone day1, right?
