SIR Disease Mafia - Game Over!

[Aristophanes]

I'll wait for Hoctac's explanation but I don't think that's a slip.

But you think mastina's "original Role PM" was a slip?

Goddamn, man.

Quick, you're doing something in this game that you weren't doing at all in the last completed game we played together.

You were town in that game.

Therefore: Something is different with you in this game. If the variable here is not your alignment, what counter-theory would you propose?

[Voted]

Who are we lynching?

[Nero Cain]

I'll wait for Hoctac's explanation but I don't think that's a slip.

Saying things are slips is like sucking on poopy balls.

Maybe but the way our brains are programmed is to find things that don't belong. It's not like scumslips haven't happened b4 but 99.9% of the time is just town either saying something stupid or someone not smart enough to figure things out. Like how I used to get pushed for saying "there are X # of scum in the game." Ppl thought its a slip b/c mods used to not spoon-feed us the setup and the not Nero players couldn't figure out setups even though its super ez to do so. I don't really begrudge players for thinking something is a slip b/c that's how we evolved.

Hactoc. A Scum!Hactoc clears you BTW.

You know answers like that are the main reason you get lynched all the time, right?

[Nero Cain]

Blair, he thinks he's hot shit now b/c he was able to "call" scum in a game when there were like 2 confirmed town and there were only 5 slots that could be scum and he got all 3 right...out of 5. Such solid work.

I already said I am fine being lynched. Was there something else, or...

No, she is just trying to reinvigorate the BW on me because she doesn't like what I am doing rn.

[Blair]

I'm trying to get you to answer a direct question, actually.

Surprisingly difficult, I have to admit.

That's because there isn't a question there. How many games have you played with me? Different game combinations means I come across differently. You are chasing the wind here trying to resurrect a wagon on me.

[Almost50]

Yeah Blair/Hoctac is actually where I think I want to go for today.

VOTE: Blair

Can we please stop playing suboptimally?

I'm a Frail Partygoer. Frail = I die immediately if I'm infected.

TSE vs Blair is one of the worst duels that could ever happen in this game.

[Almost50]

Wait wait wait, Nero, who used that wording “my original pm” over “my pm” because that’s damning fucking evidence. Wording is everything.

That would be mastina. Are you reading the game or no?

I am taking this as a rhetorical question.

VOTE: 5G Tower

I would also do Jake, but that would be purely a PL as I have no read on the slot.

I got what I needed from this, thank you.

Vote Hactoc to show your colors.

Spoiler:

[Blair]

Party at your place, Quick?

[Almost50]

I am reading, I just missed it. VOTE: Mastina definitely caught infected

Assuming it's true (for the sake of arguments) why would you want to lynch her?

1st: You don't win by lynching the infected. Scum do. If scum infect someone each night and we lynch them the next day the 3 original scums will endgame.

2nd: She used a "hint" to notify us of her infection (presumably) so she actually wants to be redeemed back to her "original" status and be able to serve the TOWN. Why lynch THAT?

3rd: Even if you are leaning that was indeed a slip, the fact it may have been "her way of posting" (which I believe it is) is still a valid option. Given that EVEN IF your view is correct the lynch is still suboptimal to Town wincon, your vote here is lazy at best.

[Quick]

Party at your place, Quick?

Never.

[Almost50]

we shouldn't lynch for infected. we should be lynched for OG scum. There's a chance mastina can be cured.

Town mindset. (Now don't anyone blame me and quote this tomorrow if I change my mind. People DO get infected overnight, and I call things as I see them at that point)

[Almost50]

but it's still really weird though. Like, a simple "my role pm says...." would have been sufficient and made a ton more sense than "my original pm"

I don't think scum!Nero would choose this particular mountain to climb.

I kinda agree, but "some" people hate meta reads, so I'm keeping them to myself.

[Nero Cain]

But you think mastina's "original Role PM" was a slip?

Goddamn, man.

Doesn't that same logic apply to you as well?

I mean, in a game with alignment changes and thus being sent a new pm when you get infected does she (or anyone) think it Was the best language to say something that could be even interpreted as "hey I got a new pm!". it's tone-deaf, at the very least.

oka then showed a game where she has used that language before and I was like "ok". If she's scum, I think it's far more likely that she planted that language in there she she could argue that it wasn't a slip and is angry that she's getting pushed.

I mean going from "fuck u nero" to "u r trying to go out of your way!" is just an overreaction and the later is just a mound of bullshit and kinda discrety. Like, I just saw something that I felt was suspicious and pointed it out and she's trying to make it out like this is some personal thing? I mean, fuck that noise.

[Almost50]

Wait why am I being voted?
I’m legit the only player in the game that can’t be converted.

Is this in a mod post somewhere?

I;m inclined to believe it's in a mod "PM" in someone's own inbox.

[Almost50]

And I have a feeling that he may not be the only one, but I don't want anyone else claiming it if there are others out there. (Better to have scum TRY and FAIL. That is a more effective way of fighting the epidemic/pandemic)
