Ahhhh, the first-post shoot as a reaction test gambit...it's a bold strategy cotton, let's see how that works out for them.

Your reads are always horrible.

shoot: cheecky

[Taly]

To avoid mindless killing that really does not serve anything but to create WIFOM; I suggest we all vote normally as if we were to lynch people.

Using your shot early means you're no longer a threat that day and thus not going to get shot, given there's no alliances set up yet.

That said, anyone who shoots Taly gets shot by me, so yeah you'd best shoot me first peeps.

I don't see the point in alliances because I don't think there's any 3p in the setup. Townblocs are a more effective approach here.

And having a shot doesn't mean you're a threat; as long as you're actually devoting a reason behind your shot and not doing it for shits and giggles.

But i so want to shoot taly for the lulz

Shooting me is just going to lower the threshold of town deaths that scum needs to win.

If you want to get the ball rolling, put up a vote or reads.

P-Edit

@Taly, let's make a townbloc mmmk.

You state you'll shoot anyone that shoots me, I've stated I'm shooting your shooter. As people join townbloc we create a circle of protection via mutually assured destruction. People without a shot left can't join, since they can't "protect" anyone else.

Keen?

Let me make sure of how this plays out-

We protect each other by shooting who shoots us.
People who don't join the townbloc and wavelength with the protection won't be apart of this.

My biggest worry is, how would we have a strong idea someone is town who assures protection/a shot against a shooter? It's a bit early to form reads.

@Taly:

Click Preview. Find the countdown button and click it. Put the deadline in the form yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.

@Taly:

if one week passes without any kills, the day will end.

Townbloc is sort of a misnomer, more a non-shooty-bloc.

Step 1: Person A says they'll shoot anyone who shoots person B. Person B says they'll shoot whoever shoots person A. Thus anyone wanting to shoot A or B gets shot themselves.
Step 2: Person C wants to join. A shoots anyone shooting B, B shoots anyone shooting C, C shoots anyone shooting A. Thus you have circular protection.
Step 3: Keep extending this out as people join.

If we decide that someone in the bloc needs to die, we just nominate someone to shoot them, I'll take that as first responsibility if required.

That said, I think this would work if we just all said "we'll shoot anyone that shoots into the bloc" without the whole circle thing, but I'm just spitballing at this point.

Reread my first post. I posed the same question to

Cheeky

about his shot. I voted to see your reaction and I think that scum would be very quick to shoot in this game. You don't seem to be taking this seriously that much, and building associatives/dichotomies are not helping.

@Taly:

oh

5 days then? That'll less likely prevent people getting bored and fruitless discussion to commence.

Also, do you have any thoughts regarding the posting playerlist so far?

[wingedcatgirl]

So wait is Taly trying to recreate the breaking strategy that destroyed that other game with lots of dayvigs?

Because I had been wondering what exactly was stopping us all from just. doing that again.

... It is

something

stopping us, right?

[wingedcatgirl]

wait no Taly's doing the polar opposite of that thing.

... Look. I'm sleep-deprived.

[CheekyTeeky]

Srceenplay it goes kill: CheekyTeeky. Sorry Ari, I thought you were wolfy.

[Almost50]

Also, do you have any thoughts regarding the posting playerlist so far?

Not yet. All I have is contradicting possibilities/theories, so I'm staying put. You're doing great with the idea of voting instead of shooting though.

Circular protection might be easier to document moreso than votes, but I still want people pushing their town and scumreads as if we were thinking about someone to lynch.

That'll keep town in cohesion.

Sando

strikes me as town, this is a bit weak but it's based off first impressions. He's engaging constructively, and while I'm still pondering the circular protection strategy, I do not want him to be shot.

36

I'm trying to prevent people from daykilling without thinking. I don't see how that benefits town.

:/ I just wished people were actually voting though. At least to entertain how effective this strategy is, because I think it's very valid.

[Srceenplay]

each day, each player may write shoot: playername, and the named player will die.

the reason the strategy would not work is mentioned in the rules actually

because apparently some of us have bulletproof which would throw that strategy off

Scum presumably have their own dayshots, so if we did it we're just guessing that town has more vests/better strongman than scum.

You have to thin out the crowd first.

Votes is fine to scumhunt, the protection strategy is just to impose some controls on the randomness, it has nothing to do with scum vs town, other than town preferring order while scum prefer chaos.

[Ankamius]

Oh Cheeky got shot.

Srceen can be town, then.

UNVOTE: CheekyTeeky
VOTE: Sando

oh yeah that too

I endorse this variant of the pacifistbloc by virtue of being much easier to set up. Since simultaneous shots aren't a thing I think there's no downside?

[Almost50]

OK..

VOTE: the worst

This vote is totally RVS by intention. TW hasn't even posted, so I can't really have a read on him.

As for the RVS reason.. erm.. it's duck hunting season
