Open 825 - PYP X/Y: HoS_S [game over!]

[Thor Ragnarok]

Greetings Asgardians

[Thor Ragnarok]

Scum probably went low to get better roles to win, so I estimate 2 or 3 scum in these players:

Bee 5
the worst 3
Cat Scratch Fever 3
Enchant 4
House 4

[Thor Ragnarok]

What's so special about 13?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Titus is probably town for picking 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

Scum would probably be a little less careless and pick a 2 digit number which was still very unlikely to be picked, but would beat other meme high picks

Like 53, it would've beaten the 69 meme pick

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why didn't anyone pick 0?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why didn't anyone pick 0?

Not a real number.

Why did you pick 5?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Weird strategy...

Did anyone pick their favourite number?

[Thor Ragnarok]

15 is a strange favourite number

[Thor Ragnarok]

Unless it's 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

In which case it's very respectable

[Thor Ragnarok]

I picked my favorite number to pick in PYP

In your opinion, what is the best bonus option for scum to pick, and which would you pick?

[Thor Ragnarok]

I meant 3. ):

Of course. Guess what my favourite number is

[Thor Ragnarok]

I did pick informed as scum. Not in this exact setup, but it was traditional PYP with the bonus choice. Depends on how tactically your team wants to play-- multitasking is better for teams with stronger dayplay, informed for teams with stronger nightplay.

I'll discount you and hoopla being a team then

[Thor Ragnarok]

Close, my favourite is 11. I actually have 10 clones

[Thor Ragnarok]

Oh no

[Thor Ragnarok]

Look what you’ve done!

Don't pretend you don't love it, Something_Smart

[Thor Ragnarok]

Do not do it

I just had sushi but it was supermarket sushi and kinda bad

[Thor Ragnarok]

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'm picking 10 every game from now on

Everyone else should pick a forever number too

[Thor Ragnarok]

I’m getting sushi.

This is scum

[Thor Ragnarok]

I have strange urge to townread Thor.

I am always town most of the time

[Thor Ragnarok]

I've heard sushi can make a person sick if they have a weak digestive system

[Thor Ragnarok]

So these pairings are likely not both scum, no reason to tank yourself

the worst 3
Cat Scratch Fever 3
Enchant 4
House 4
Flea The Magician 13
Gamma Emerald 13
PenguinPower 15
ManateeGal 15

[Thor Ragnarok]

Maybe that’s why you didn’t like yours?

My digestive system is so strong I could eat and digest a crowbar

[Thor Ragnarok]

Wasn’t it mentioned like a few pages ago that scum have done that before?

Only when hoopla was scum, she's an anomaly

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why do you keep ordering it if it makes you sick? Isn't that counterproductive?

[Thor Ragnarok]

I would do the same for a crowbar so I get it

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why do you miss midnight?

[Thor Ragnarok]

LOOK.

I get sick when I eat most other kinds. ):

there are plenty of types of vegetarian sushi!

Well what should I get next time!!!

I've heard some people cook fish before eating it, don't take my word for it though

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why did you pick 13?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Can I have fan art as well?

[Thor Ragnarok]

It's interesting how the numbers settled into that list

[Thor Ragnarok]

[Thor Ragnarok]

I look happy

[Thor Ragnarok]

But I'm being knighted by so many Gamma Emeralds at once... I am now Uber Sir Thor

[Thor Ragnarok]

Thor: do you have any content-based reads so far?

-Harvey

Those are hard for me, I'll let you know as soon as I have one

[Thor Ragnarok]

But what I do have are the draft numbers selected by 45 scum across 15 games:

1 - xxxxxxxxx
2 - xxx
3 - xxx
4 - xxxx
5 - xxxx
6 - xxxx
7 - x
8 - xxxx
9 - x
10 - xx
11 - xx
12 - x
13 - x
15 - x
20 - x
22 - x
42 - xx
413 - x

As well as Titus, it probably makes Harvey and Haley town as well, scum really don't seem to like going for high or meme numbers; 69 would be the second highest on this list

[Thor Ragnarok]

Gonna need to hear a meme case for this one

[Thor Ragnarok]

Still, that's only 2 in 45 picks

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why did no one pick 1 or 2 if no one else was going for it btw? I went for 11 because it's my favourite number but I would've gone for 1/2 to secure first place had I known

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why did no one pick 1 or 2 if no one else was going for it btw? I went for 11 because it's my favourite number but I would've gone for 1/2 to secure first place had I known

I mean... you don't *know* that no one else is going for it, right? It's reasonable to assume someone's gonna pick it
I'm sure anyone would've picked 1/2 if they knew no one else was going for it

-Harvey

Scum knew the other two of them wouldn't pick it though so I wonder why they didn't go for it

[Thor Ragnarok]

I miss midnight, where did the time go by....

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'd sacrifice all of my friends for a day vigilante

[Thor Ragnarok]

VOTE: ManateeGal

Stock is rising quickly for this one. Let's all turn our headlights towards her so she knows every word she says is gonna be closely scrutinised and ripped to shreds

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why my thoughts? It's because together we're the most stylish in the playerlist, isn't it? It is, I knew it.

That goat looks annoyed

[Thor Ragnarok]

[Thor Ragnarok]

It might be an goat-eagle hybrid and we're both right

A Gogle

[Thor Ragnarok]

I knew it was only a matter of time before you recognised my greatness

[Thor Ragnarok]

Cat Scratch Fever is a cat though, not a person

Unless she's secretly a person and has told you in the scum PT you share together...

[Thor Ragnarok]

You're right, it wouldn't be fair for everyone else, I'd win it too easily

Town are better at making me smile or laugh, so I have my townreads now, Harvey/Harley

Miss Midnight
the worst
Bee

[Thor Ragnarok]

Cat Scratch Fever is town unless she's scum with 2 players who are also unaware the worst selects the number 3 every game. She'd have no reason to also pick 3 had she known

[Thor Ragnarok]

VOTE: Gamma

House, why did you move away from your main on Wake? I thought your playstyle there was quite smooth and buttery

[Thor Ragnarok]

VOTE: Gamma

House, why did you move away from your main on Wake? I thought your playstyle there was quite smooth and buttery

I has sads. You ignored my reachout.

It was a nice reach out. You have impressive flexibility

[Thor Ragnarok]

Thor did state it, but likely only as an observation of interest. Draft positions are heavily randomly determined, as opposed to number picks - so I doubt that Thor actually places any stock in that.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I only joined this game for the numbers

VOTE: Cat Scratch Fever

[Thor Ragnarok]

The wagon on me is very sad though :(

Perhaps the saddest point ever in the history of this PyP game

[Thor Ragnarok]

But I agree with the next part. @Thor, did you have stronger reasoning to vote Gamma than from your earlier likely-containing-scum pools?

Nope

My gut was town on House and meh on Gamma so I voted Gamma

[Thor Ragnarok]

What about him?

[Thor Ragnarok]

I don't know, she feels off. My reads are primarily stewed in the gut, especially early, so I can't explain further

[Thor Ragnarok]

And the numbers make her a much better vote than Gamma

[Thor Ragnarok]

How so? Gimme your read on the numbers. Expand as much as you like, fuckery welcome.

Okay, in a bit

[Thor Ragnarok]

Wow, I'm like a nuclear warhead as scum, take that back

[Thor Ragnarok]

Next game

[Thor Ragnarok]

Players more likely to be scum due to their position in the draft:

Bee 5
Miss Midnight 8
Something_Smart 9
Thor Ragnarok 10
Harvey and Haley 69
Titus 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
the worst 3
Cat Scratch Fever 3
Enchant 4

House 4
Flea The Magician 13*
Gamma Emerald 13
PenguinPower 15
ManateeGal 15

These players placed high on the draft, and are more likely to be scum. The advantage of knowing what your 2 scum partners are picking goes a long way for helping secure a higher position. The 9th position seems to be the cut off point for this criteria (326).

Players more likely to be scum based on the number they picked:

the worst 3
Cat Scratch Fever 3
Enchant 4
House 4
Bee 5
Miss Midnight 8

Something_Smart 9
Thor Ragnarok 10
Flea The Magician 13
Gamma Emerald 13
PenguinPower 15
ManateeGal 15
Harvey and Haley 69
Titus 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

Scum on average pick lower numbers, opting to to try and place as high as possible on the draft strategically, as opposed to picking a meme or favourite number. For this reason, it makes Titus, Harvey/Haley, and Flea (for picking their favourite number) much more likely to be town. The cut off for this criteria seems to be the number 8 (228).

Adding up each player's position number from each list, we can create some number reads:

Bee 5
Miss Midnight 8
the worst 9^
Cat Scratch Fever 9
Something_Smart 10
Thor Ragnarok 12
Enchant 13
House 13
Harvey and Haley 18*
Titus 20*
Flea The Magician 21
Gamma Emerald 21
PenguinPower 25
ManateeGal 25

Based on the stats, scum will be higher up on this list on average. Now, does this mean you should vote solely based on this list, or generate reads off it? No. But it should be used as an aid to your reads. Players higher on this list have a higher than random chance to be scum, and players lower on this list have a lower than random chance to be scum. 3 players get asterixis for being a little more likely to be town than their positions would suggest, based on picking meme/extremely high/favourite numbers. the worst also gets a fancy sign of his own since he picks 3 every game, so his high position is less relevant.

So, if I scumlean both Cat Scratch Fever and Gamma Emerald, I will be voting the cat. I will be more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Titus if she feels scummy, and I will be more wary and cautious if someone like Miss Midnight feels towny.

[Thor Ragnarok]

There's partner logic as well and players less likely to be scum together but there's no need for that now

It looks like Datisi likes to spread out scum in the playerlist between games, making all positions covered.
However, position 2 has NEVER rolled scum. This makes it due to be rolled scum, and makes Something_Smart more likely to be scum.

Datisi also doesn't like putting scum next to each other on the playerlist, other than 1 case 6 games ago. This makes it unlikely that scum are next to each other. So if Something_Smart is scum, Flea The Magician and Cat Scratch Fever are less likely to be scum.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Is there a reason you're so quick to discredit the stats?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Can you give proof of that?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Well I always figured the mods picked scum arbitrarily from the playerlist but had to avoid using bias to make it fair, but there's still ways to detect subconscious bias which is what I might have seen in Datisi - he spreads his picks out so #2 is due for scum, and scum aren't next to each other very often.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Well, that sucks

Well it makes sense why but less for me to go off of, thanks for letting me know

[Thor Ragnarok]

I knew, I forgot to mention it because he wasn't as high as the worst

[Thor Ragnarok]

What would be scummy about that, Miss Midnight?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It does make her more likely town unless she isn't scum with a few specific players + anyone who did proper research

VOTE: Miss Midnight

[Thor Ragnarok]

(most of the credit goes to hoopla)

Yes, I just added the extra data from that game

[Thor Ragnarok]

So, if I scumlean both Cat Scratch Fever and Gamma Emerald, I will be voting the cat. I will be more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Titus if she feels scummy, and I will be more wary and cautious if someone like Miss Midnight feels towny.

Given two votes on Gamma already, and your statement here (keeping aside that the premise of the earlier parts of that post has been discarded) wouldn't that be a stronger vote for you?

-Harvey

No, because I liked what he said about me in the last page

[Thor Ragnarok]

I think Thor is town. .-. Why would you fake that level of number analysis and keep going with it when you’re adept at faking things and could do normal things to get you townread? Calling it busywork seems shallow and if he was scum wouldn’t he have partners saying like “say this or that” instead of him keeping himself caught up in it?

And if he believes it for real then he’s just town anyways.

My saviour... I'll pay it off my debt to you across my lifetime using any sushi I can find

[Thor Ragnarok]

House and I are both town in my opinion

[Thor Ragnarok]

House and I are both town in my opinion

Why?

House's nuclear response to Gamma

[Thor Ragnarok]

Too suicidal with the way he acts to be scum

[Thor Ragnarok]

@Harvey: I do have some data on that, will reveal later

@the worst: Usually 1 scum goes for a slighter larger number and 2 scum go low to "win" the draft.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I think he might be mad about that regardless and also he’s been kind of mad a lot of the game or at least irritated :<. Do you think that if he’s been able to sustain it it’s less likely to be fake?

He's much better at burning bridges that weren't there rather than building them, he's not giving much reason to anyone to not vote him which shows the lack of a scum motive

[Thor Ragnarok]

Too suicidal with the way he acts to be scum

You seem to be an alt of an older (in MS years) player, surely you must have seen many players rage in games as scum, no?

-Harvey

Also, Thor, would you be able to summarize the reasoning behind the wagon on you? And your thoughts on that?

-Harvey

There was usually a good reason to channel it though

I dislike Miss Midnight the most, the worst critiquing my number analysis as being possibly malicious also makes me dislike him somewhat, that seems quite unreasonable to think. Nothing notable on the others

[Thor Ragnarok]

To bee or not to bee...

[Thor Ragnarok]

I dislike Miss Midnight the most, the worst critiquing my number analysis as being possibly malicious also makes me dislike him somewhat, that seems quite unreasonable to think. Nothing notable on the others

I'd like to talk about Miss Midnight in more detail.
the worst's critique is fair though - scum would have equal access to the data since it's public, and that taints reads based on historical statistics to some extent. So I can definitely see the perspective there.

However

I don't think draft picks factor in all that much in reality, so playing the WIFOM game by mucking up the picks has a small payoff compared to the roles you can achieve trying to get a high position. Rationally scum should try to score high *shrug*

-Harvey

Maybe you're right about the worst

I'll take about the midnight later now that Bee has joined the cause

You should too, Enchant

[Thor Ragnarok]

Long for midnight by voting miss midnight

[Thor Ragnarok]

Yes

[Thor Ragnarok]

Long for midnight by voting miss midnight

Enchanting?

[Thor Ragnarok]

I like Ydrasse as town lol

I don't think you've ever TR me so I went 'yay' IRL :3

Pourkay

[Thor Ragnarok]

Maybe

Explaining gut is hard

[Thor Ragnarok]

Town have the habit of refreshing and checking the thread at a rate far more frequent than scum. This is because the interest for solving the game can often be far higher than scum's desire to lie. Some scum can also be scared of opinions of their posts after they post, and may even close the thread entirely for some time, while town will eagerly refresh the page to hear opinions on what they've just posted.

I've been rereading the thread and I had an idea. There's a phenomenon on this site known as page topping, often conjoined to one word as such; PageTopping.

This phenomenon results in players wanting to score the top post of new pages. The top post of each page are divisible by 25, so post 500 would be a PageTop, and so would post 975.

Now, the interesting thing about these PageTops are that you can only perform them if you are present on the page and see the opportunity for one arise. To be present on the page, you must have refreshed it recently.

See where I'm going with this? In addition to town being more able to efficiently perform PageTops, they are also just more active on average, and will naturally land more PageTops over time. This results in town scoring far more PageTops on average than scum.

Here's the data:

I'll compile this with my data on the number analysis later to create a combined reads list.

[Thor Ragnarok]

@House: Using my gut combined with stats is when I see the best results for my reads, I've refined this over a long time of playing

@Something_Smart: Good call, I'll come back to that view later

[Thor Ragnarok]

Enchant + Thor is a great place to start.

Happy to join you on a Thor train.

This is my playstyle

[Thor Ragnarok]

This is my playstyle

You must get this a lot, then.

Yep, I do

[Thor Ragnarok]

Daybreak arrives

[Thor Ragnarok]

Does Xtoxm like playing one alignment over the other?

VOTE: Gamma

My scumread on Miss Midnight was because it felt like she was playing whack a mole but only punching the moles halfway with the hammer, like when she said she thought me listing 3 most likely scum positions was an attempt at really bad shade, when it was just an observation. She's applied a little more force on the Gamma whack though which I like.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'm building a plan.

[Thor Ragnarok]

You're an interesting wagon shift

[Thor Ragnarok]

I've been coming up with a game winning strategy behind the scenes. I think it'll be ready to post tomorrow so be excited.

[Thor Ragnarok]

@Thor does Venice mean anything to you?

I want to live there someday

[Thor Ragnarok]

I townread House, because i find his nature of posting a townie. He was plenty understandbly annoyed by Thor. I disliked push on him at all, because you seemed just sheeping Gamma who made up accusation like "Can't tell why but he is mafia". Like, i too have another reasons for townreading him, but can't tell them, now what?

I like this and I like Enchant's defense and read on me earlier. His meta was good and unnecessary as scum, I abjurate him to a townread.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Your cat looks like it needs medical assistance

[Thor Ragnarok]

Lowkey also not a fan of Miss Midnight disappearing again after the wagon shifted off of her : (

Short bursts of activity followed by long stretches of nothing is very characteristic of scum, this is true

VOTE: Miss Midnight

[Thor Ragnarok]

Your cat looks like it needs medical assistance

That's Me. Fuck You.

Avoiding the hefty medical bill?

[Thor Ragnarok]

She definitely had sushi

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'll vote Gamma again if people don't wanna join the Miss Midnight express train

[Thor Ragnarok]

When she's here, she seems very interested in the game and energetic. So it doesn't correlate that she's had very long stretches of inactivity and had to be prodded twice. It means that interest and engagement when she is here may be fake, since she seems disinterested to post actively outside of it.

Why this reaction?

I often like to pretend to be super cool by shrouding myself in mystery and being enigmatic

[Thor Ragnarok]

That said, VOTE: Gamma

I guess? I'm sorry if I insulted or offended you. But like I said, it hurts me as well when people try to use me missing one day against me when I put in a ton in the time that I have here.

Just an observation based on what I've seen from scum before, I don't have an agenda against you, and it felt longer than a day. I'm sorry too for upsetting you.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Sorry, been very busy day yesterday and likely today too. I'll be back my evening.

Omg guys Auro was super active and then super inactive... he must be scum.

Auro felt towny early on and I don't think inactivity always means being scum.

Wait, but he also pagetopped.

Shit, now I don't know what to do.

It doesn't count if it's just 1

Is there a reason you're buying into my theories more now?

[Thor Ragnarok]

I, too, am fond of jokes

VOTE: Manatee

That ISO sent shivers down my spine

[Thor Ragnarok]

Booo

[Thor Ragnarok]

Something_Smart, can you clear up whether you agree with my theories or were making fun out of them? My opinion on you heavily depends on it.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Here is my plan:

night 3 vigilante or vengeful
1-shot vigilante or 2-shot PGO (active)
ascetic cop or bulletproof
draft cop or 1-shot watcher
doctor or roleblocker
universal backup or rolecop
neighborizer or voyeur
jailkeeper or tracker

If we have the setup on the left, this is what I believe we should do:
The night 3 vigilante should be left alive until night 3.
The 1-shot vig should not shoot if scum is voted out on day 1. If town is voted out, they should.
The ascetic cop should check who they think is scum but is unlikely to be voted out the next day.
The draft cop can check whoever they like to see if they have a role.
The doctor should protect a universally townread person.
The universal backup should wait.
The neighbouriser should target someone they think they will get along and solve with.
The Jailkeeper should target their biggest scumread.

If we have the setup on the right:
The vengeful should claim when death is assured and kill a consensus scumread.
The PGO should not activate and save themselves for later.
The bulletproof should enjoy themselves.
The 1-shot watcher should not do anything on the first night.
The roleblocker should target their biggest scumread.
The rolecop should target a scumread they're worried might be a cop.
The voyuer should target a high interest player.
The tracker should target their biggest scumread that won't immediately be voted out.

If we follow all of these actions, we can probably win this game from the sheer amount of roles that will be in town's hands. We just need to make sure foolish things aren't done like vigilantes shooting like heroes or cops checking players that will be voted out the next day anyway.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I don't know that id consider myself the ultimate authority on SS, but I'm pretty sure he was being facetious

I'd be surprised if his opinion is particularly far from mine: there's novel benefit to your analysis. There is probably some correlation due to thread presence, sure. Some of it is probably warped by the fact a higher % of players are town. It's a fun statistic, but not particularly useful for actually finding scum. It's also profoundly unfun compared to just playing mafia - if I wanted a logic puzzle I'd download an app.

Sorry if this sounds harsh. I feel like dragging the conversation back into 2d stat analysis is pretty detrimental to the gamestate.

Alright. I try my best to accommodate others by doing a combination of using logic and reads, but the puzzle side does interest me a lot.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Actually, is it not very likely that scum already knows which setup it is, unless they have no power roles at all? I'm willing to take that chance and will throw this out here for more transparent discussion:

We're in the left-side setup

[Thor Ragnarok]

What?

[Thor Ragnarok]

I don't remember playing one although I might've long ago. I've read up on some of the recent ones though, Hoopla's been a good source

[Thor Ragnarok]

Care to explain what I slipped or am faking to slip?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Ah, my impression was that we were bidding on which side of the draft we'd like, with the majority bid deciding the setup. I see what you mean now.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Your reaction is almost the exact same as people in this game when I didn't understand the setup:

viewtopic.php?f=83&t=87385

I was town

[Thor Ragnarok]

phase two - bidding for roles:
~ once the draft order has been determined, each player pm's the moderator of the game with the role they'd like to be.
~ i will assign one power per pair, as players have selected. priority will be given from the top (winner) of the draft.

Sigh. This seemed to me that it was one power per pair across the table, and we were submitting roles to bid on which side we'd like.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'm used to these reactions, it may not be this game but hopefully in future games people realise I don't get everything immediately sometimes

[Thor Ragnarok]

This has helped in making me think you're town though! You'll just have to wait longer to see I'm the same

[Thor Ragnarok]

It's not that section of the rules that gave me that impression, it's an assumption I made at the start of the game, and why reading that rules section later did nothing to correct my false assumption

[Thor Ragnarok]

You really seem to believe I'm faking this and scum, I think if you were scum you would just immediately see it as me being town and have no reason to doubt it so much

[Thor Ragnarok]

I find it funny how sure you are!

Post-Edit: No, because your outrage here seems genuine, and attacking a possible townslip as scum is always risky if others disagree with you

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'm also town

[Thor Ragnarok]

Do I really need to explain that you? The wording you're using

[Thor Ragnarok]

"you're so full of it"
"you're straight up not town"
"you're lying through your teeth"
etc

[Thor Ragnarok]

Why do you think you know who I'm an alt of?

[Thor Ragnarok]

Your critique of my read on you does give me pause honestly, I don't see why you can't see a reaction like this is towny and why it's so unreasonable for me to townread you for it. I question whether you're being contrarian because you think it'll look better but I doubt that benefits you, so I stand by the read.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Nah, everyone who thought I was faking townslips in my last game were town, but they realised I was genuine eventually

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'm very curious... I would love you to say if you're wrong but wouldn't want to be outed if you were right so I'll take that postgame DM for sure

[Thor Ragnarok]

Thor, why don't you want to reveal your main? I doubt many people would remember you or know who you are, so it wouldn't mean anything to most people.

The past history feels like baggage, and I feel lighter without it being known or referenced to. It's not for any tactical advantage, I just feel more comfortable this way.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Because he is claiming to be quite possibly the worst person at understanding setups on the entire site. And that may be true, but statistically it probably isn't.

Rude... but I'll allow it just this once

[Thor Ragnarok]

Manatee's posting is better on this page, feels like apathetic town over frozen scum after hearing her throw out her thoughts on her wagon. The careless feeling is good.

VOTE: Gamma

Wish I could explain why I keep going back to Gamma but a lot of it is gut.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I need to go back to the workshop and come up with an alternative strategy, I'll get to it.

[Thor Ragnarok]

VOTE: Titus

I'll go digging for your questions later, Magic Flea.

[Thor Ragnarok]

@Cat Scratch Fever

Her townreads feel driven by agenda, an example would be this post:

Sads here PP. Lots of sads.

MM, PP is town.

Mama Bear hates when her kids fight. Can we defeat gods instead of each other?

It's less designed to actually convince Miss Midnight that Penguin is town, since it has no reasons, and more designed to pocket both players.

[Thor Ragnarok]

It is direct shade, yes. Protection like this:

This is kinda random, but would people be amenable to a Bee wagon? I feel like she hasn’t really gotten much pressure this game

No. I'd hammer Manatee for the sake of the thread before I voted Bee.

we can do bee d2

Or we can listen to me D2

[Thor Ragnarok]

You're not convincing anyone with this sort of thing. The only players it convinces is the person you're protecting that you're town.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Looking forward to seeing the worst and Something_Smart tied at 6 votes each tomorrow.

[Thor Ragnarok]

There's no need, I'll sleep for him.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Sure, I'll fit in an extra 4 and a half hours for you.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Based on Thor's mechanical spec 98, 326, 664, and 858, he seemed to have good reason to scumread Enchant based off of numbers alone, but Thor never actually placed a vote on Enchant.

I feel like their mutual townreads on each other were pretty flimsy as well.

Fair. My immediate thought after seeing the flip was that I looked absolutely terrible for it. I think I voted for like 3 counterwagons to Enchant or something like that.

Curse his soft and comfy pockets! His meta defense of me was too sweet.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I have strange urge to townread Thor.

It was already too late that point, the spell had been cast.

Also, I think would probably join you in voting him if he was my partner because it's an easy opportunity to distance without me being attached to the vote.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I think Thor, Bee, Heley and Helay, MM, House townie enough to pass.

Murder everyone else and we win.

VOTE: Cat

Probably 1 scum in his townies list. House and I are always town. Bee was pushing Enchant a lot.

I'll vote for Miss Midnight or Auro.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Enchant doesn't vote for Miss Midnight when I asked for his help twice and he never explains his townread there. He at one point says gut and at another says he thinks scum can't produce the drawing she produced...

Contrast that to his other townreads which he has plenty of explanations for and I think it may mean she's scum.

I'd vote her but I don't wanna look opportunistic and I'm scared everyone's just gonna jump on board of me any minute now so I will cower under the rug of my attic and only emerge when it is safe outside.

[Thor Ragnarok]

GeorgeBailey

Is a medium role allowing this? There doesn't appear to be one in the setup list (which I carefully examined in the worst's honour), so I'm unsure why Enchant was able to say this and what the relevance of "GeorgeBailey" is. Is that someone in this game?

VOTE: GeorgeBailey to test.

Man, combined with your avatar your posts make me chuckle so much. Thanks <3

<3

Don't know why people condemn misunderstanding stuff so much but whatever

[Thor Ragnarok]

I don't believe this is a genuine thought, as you are obviously aware of the effects of white knighting as displayed in this post:

You're not convincing anyone with this sort of thing. The only players it convinces is the person you're protecting that you're town.

Enchant gave reasons which

do

convince people if you look at his posts defending me, Titus did not.

[Thor Ragnarok]

If you cop checked me because of how bad I looked after yesterday, I'd rather you reveal the innocent check sooner rather than later. Let's not let the day waste away as everyone slowly but surely roasts and piles on me, just reveal it now.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'm going back to the observatory to see if I can figure something out.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Can a couple of people unvote me? I'm really starting to feel the pressure and it's making it really hard to form coherent thoughts without being worried more people will scumread me for saying something dumb. It's hard for me to work in these constrained environments.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Oh it felt like a lot more. Scum really cursed me by killing the worst it feels like.

[Thor Ragnarok]

What were you, Infinity?

? i was nightkilled?

VOTE: Thor

possible fake townslip

What you said sounded like you were going to give us new reads but what happened to the old ones?

i don't have many of them

i think gypyx is town

i think thor is scum

@jessica i think Thor did that to fake a townslip

[Thor Ragnarok]

You got it right the first time, House. You shouldn't have let people sway you.

[Thor Ragnarok]

I'm clearly never scum with Miss Midnight if you look at how she reacted to me earlier in this game.

I have the power to kill and I'm willing to direct my shot based on what town thinks is best.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Locking in on a flawed theory is a toxic way to play. There was too much evidence to ignore.

The numbers are an aid, not the sole driving force.

It would be toxic if I only used the numbers to vote and ignored my normal reads.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Bee 5

Miss Midnight 8

Something_Smart 9

Thor Ragnarok 10

Auro 69

Titus 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

the worst 3

Cat Scratch Fever 3

Enchant 4

House 4

Flea The Magician 13
Gamma Emerald 13
PenguinPower 15
ManateeGal 15

I'd be shocked if none of the top 5 were scum. Bee and Titus seem likely town for pushing Enchant and Titus being counterwagoned to him. Something_Smart has felt towny this game for other reasons.

This as well as Enchant's play and reads leads strongly to one of Miss Midnight or Auro beings scum.

The other scum by my wager is in the bottom 4.

Given Enchant picked 4, House is always town, and it makes Cat Scratch Fever a lot less likely to be scum too since scum like to spread their number picks out and not pick numbers next to each other. The faulty reasoning in this is that they don't like being too close to each other in fear of looking partnered, but this is flawed and not how randomness works.

[Thor Ragnarok]

It's also possible that both Miss Midnight and Auro are scum, to be clear.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Of the bottom 4, I like Penguin the best.

[Thor Ragnarok]

It is true that Manatee's number is odd, but I don't see the relevancy

[Thor Ragnarok]

Cruel!

[Thor Ragnarok]

VOTE: Auro

Round 2 finally arrives

[Thor Ragnarok]

Let's wait for the claim from Miss Midnight's replacement. Even if we do vote her out regardless, any result she has stored in the case that she's town could be useful.

Although, do we know who's on the replacement list? If it's a strong scum player lined up who could change people's minds, we may want to reconsider that approach and pull the trigger now.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Fair enough. Let's scare them.

VOTE: Miss Midnight

[Thor Ragnarok]

Well then, here's hoping. I still have a good feeling about this.

[Thor Ragnarok]

My name is Thor Odinson Ragnarok, and I will pick my power, in this game, or the next.

[Thor Ragnarok]

My name is Thor Odinson Ragnarok, and I will pick my power, in this game, or the next.

I would highly recommend shooting Auro.

Noted.

[Thor Ragnarok]

(I will not comment further at this current time, let's keep scum guessing)

[Thor Ragnarok]

My name is Thor Odinson Ragnarok, and I will pick my power, in this game, or the next.

Not sure what annoys me more ..

The End of world event being used as a name, or the mech ignorance.

Ragnarök is what happens when Fenris breaks free of his chains, eats Odin, Tyr, Heimdall and I think Freya; and Jorgmandr aka the world serpent wakes up and basically turns everyone into a hashtag. Thor and Loki also specifically die.

Fun fact about Norse lore, prophecies HAD to happen. That's why Loki killed Baldr, it was fated and had to happen.

I'm an alternate universe Thor, my canon is different from yours.

In my universe, Ragnarok and Thor were one and the same. I betrayed Asgard because they were weak and stuck in the past. My new civilization is the Cantina Band Bar.

[Thor Ragnarok]

[Thor Ragnarok]

I have the power to kill and I'm willing to direct my shot based on what town thinks is best.

Seems more hard than soft.

If only there were a vig role that couldn't shoot till a specific night, that might explain why he hasn't shot yet...

Yeah, I didn't clarify for the chances that scum wastes a roleblock or jailkeep on me

[Thor Ragnarok]

Or he's mafia, and wasn't lying when he said he has kill power, and is laughing at all of us now

VOTE: Auro

[Thor Ragnarok]

Vig is a strong scum role, and Thor's soft doesn't make me want to yeet him any less. Moreover, I find it suspicious that someone who's admitted to not have strong reads would pick a role like vig.

VOTE: Thor

I would just pick vengeful if I was scum...

Shooting someone is the most impactful thing you can do from those roles in my opinion. I thought there was a good chance 1-shot vig would be gone from the 3 above me, so I opted for night 3

Also, I should do my due diligence

UNVOTE: Auro

[Thor Ragnarok]

Yeah, I don't mind

[Thor Ragnarok]

Something_Smart has seemed quite town to me, he gives off meditative energy.

Auro, I voted for you for the same reason I voted for Miss Midnight the previous day; the number theory points to you being scum.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Thoughts on who I shoot for each of the possible wagon cases and flips?

E.g: Auro flips town, I shoot ____
Auro flips scum, I shoot ____

[Thor Ragnarok]

I mean for each possible wagon

[Thor Ragnarok]

Yeah that's fine too if we just wanna shoot the two bottom players in the tar barrel

[Thor Ragnarok]

Thoughts on who I shoot for each of the possible wagon cases and flips?

E.g: Auro flips town, I shoot ____
Auro flips scum, I shoot ____

Who do you think should flip?

Auro, he forgot to wash the dishes again

[Thor Ragnarok]

Disagree with both of those, Alchemist

[Thor Ragnarok]

Disagree with both of those, Alchemist

Do you mean you disagree with Flea's scumreads on me and S_S? That's kinda interesting; I've been pushing you like all day - you don't find that scummy?

Nope, why would I? You emit a town energy.

[Thor Ragnarok]

Disagree with both of those, Alchemist

Guessing that means Flea?

Yes, the Conjurer

[Thor Ragnarok]

Nice

Assuming Auro flips scum, opinions on who I should shoot?

[Thor Ragnarok]

I should be clear based on picking Night 3 Vig over vengeful

[Thor Ragnarok]

This is one of the most thrilling games I've ever been in

I can barely keep up

[Thor Ragnarok]

We could go for a cheeky yeet on VOTE: Gamma Emerald
