Open 776: Korina is a Cultist

[Conspire]

Didn’t get culted again. DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE??

~Esper

[Conspire]

I agree Farkran looks a little townie though

P-edit; oh yeah I’ve seen that happen too wrt to Alyssa

~Esper

[Conspire]

At least one of Auro/Alyssa told the truth I think

~Esper

[Conspire]

At least one of Auro/Alyssa told the truth I think

~Esper

Why

Like I said, I’ve seen something like this happen before + as a VT, I think you’re just less likely to make that joke because why?

[Conspire]

Hopefully we get a VC soon

~Esper

[Conspire]

Oh what

~Esper

[Conspire]

Wait is conspire una and friend?

You get one guess for each of our heads. Make them count

My guess for your main: cyrus?

VOTE: Farkran

To be more clear i am not RVSing, i think the joke is not actually a joke.

The same thing happened in the previous cult game where blatant scum claimed CL d1

I want alyssa lynched

Do you still believe this is true?

Blatant Scum's whole shtick is claiming scum/cult regardless of alignment. So, why use that as an example to cultread Alyssa for doing it?

-Cosmic

[Conspire]

lol really?

you culted me n0?

Ok then, if korina answered me truthfully then this also must be the truth, otherwise i could have no idea about who was recruited

VOTE: Alyssa

I don't understand this; what are you suggesting? Korina answered Alyssa truthfully when she asked about being recruited n0?

-Cosmic

[Conspire]

So, I don't think Korina's gonna be looking to recruit someone who doesn't enjoy scum; especially on night 0. I know of a few players in this list that have said they don't enjoy scum as much as town before, but the question is whether Korina is also aware of those preferences.

I think he's incentiviced to pick overall strong players that we are likely to keep around for at least a day or two even if we scumread them, since their reads would be useful if town.

-Cosmic

[Conspire]

Ok well I read Cosmic's posts and don't agree lol UNVOTE: I'll have to talk to him later.

~Esper

[Conspire]

I do think the push on us is questionable though. Why us, Slaxx/Klick?

~Esper

[Conspire]

I do agree Korina's choices are probably not random though. Korina needs someone who will stick around and random!culting could affect that. Insisting on random culting sends us on a wild goose chase.

~Esper

[Conspire]

It's definitely not random though. That's just boring.

-Cosmic

[Conspire]

Yeah, so Farkran isn't as scummy as I originally thought; Esper has similar thoughts to him regarding Alyssa's posts. She agrees that the Alyssa entrance feels unnatural.

Farkran, I'd still like to hear why you compared it to Blatant Scum claiming cult as cult in a previous game though. Were you aware he did that in every game?

I only played with blatant scum twice, town!bs did not introduce himself as scum, although he was a repin in a newbie game at the time.

This has not much to do with BS himself though, i think that such introduction is also scummy in a vacuum, like when you notice scum RVS-voting their partners. It happens much more often than it should for their own good.

(I got Cosmic to sheep me c:)

Yeah I agree with Farkran here. It's not about BS, more the joke itself. Also, I've briefly played with Alyssa before and I don't think she's the type to make that type of joke as a random vt. I still stand by at least one of Auro/Alyssa is, maybe not exactly the roles they claimed, but *something*

~Esper

[Conspire]

Actually, theorising about that last bit might not be helpful. Not sure.

~Esper

[Conspire]

This game is moving a bit fast for me tbh and Korina's spam didn't help.

~Esper

[Conspire]

I'm also not that familiar with the playlist; out of the ones I know though, I probably TR Slaxx a bit

Current thoughts: based on fun-value, I still think Korina's gonna chose someone he likes working with/is a strong player and in my mind, that's gotta be Alyssa/Farkran. Kind of changed my mind and I can see it going either way now. Either Alyssa's joke was scum indicative, or scum!Farkran made an easy push on the first thing he saw.
VOTE: Alyssa the Lamb

~Esper

[Conspire]

Which is, scum indicative but I dunno if that is the same as cult??

Not the same, but same enough.

Look at the language in conspires iso. Lots of “I thinks”, “probably” etc.

The only thing they seem confident on is that korina didn’t randomize, actually.

probably probably i think probably i think probably

~Esper

[Conspire]

I don't think I like the idea of lurker lynches either. Yes, what Alyssa said had some reason to it, but I think scum benefit of a mislynch>lurker lynch from town POV.

~Esper

[Conspire]

VOTE: Conspire i'm fine trying this. There's too little content coming from a hydra.

I've massively overgamed myself as always. I'll catchup and give thoughts tomorrow.

-Cosmic

[Conspire]

So cosmic didn’t keep his word and I don’t think I have time for this game after all. I don’t get why we’re being heavily SR’d, but it’s an oh well.

good luck town o/
