Irrelephant it's good to see you again

and WhyMafia are you scum again

Recommend picking three players to do this task (at random? townreads? not sure how to get those at this point), organizing how it will be done in advance, and then lynching any of those three that ruin it for the rest of us

Since 25 posts per page, we can split this between three people.
Each person does like 8-9 posts per page, making sure not to do more than 6 in a row.

Players may not post 7 times in a row. Your 7th post will cause the count to be reset. Additionally, if you make a 13th post on a single page then the count will also be reset.

This is to prevent players from spamming the thread to reach the count.

The bolded part is a lie

"powers in three" - saboteurs?

I looked for patterns or a different hidden number (one thousand sixty twenties?) but didnt see it.

re: scumhunting - we wont have the VCA, so we have to use both analysis of who isnt advancing the ball as well as NKA.

Question for the board re forum code - if we submit and get a preview, do we get a second preview if we submit from that screen? Or if we get a preview should we go back to the start

This ain't too bad. I'm not in fact scum. Quite fortunate for me ; P

[Irrelephant11]

19

you always get a preview automatically if you hit submit and there's a post that appeared in the time you were writing

Actually I think we should use Elephant's plan in the last three days. For now, we should also keep chattering. It will help the "pre-night" decision.

21

oh yeah winning a challenge sends us to night phase too I forgot
I was thinking only losing challenges did that

WhyMafia reminds me of Not_Mafia making me want to lynch him

I think the power in threes is that you only need three people to solve the challenge. Due to the 25 posts per page and 13 post limit per person per page. That's what clicked for me.

Oooh it's an easy one this! They only have to count to one thousands and sixty twenty!


There's magic in numbers and powers in three,

But only one number in mind can lead to the key.

325 is the number to lighten your heart,

But if you count wrong then you will have to restart!

wait but what does the first line mean

I think that's a good plan.

Thoughts on ignoring this counting thing until the second half of the day (i.e. last three rl days)?

Then we can discuss for the first half about strategy, game mechanics and scum hunting without the spam of posts and constant preview/refresh? And also gives all people a chance to properly discuss/engage ...

[teacher]

28

Why not do both? We can chatter and intentionally throw if all agree?

[Irrelephant11]

29

No, if we can win while discussing there is no reason not to. Anyone know if we have to get to 325 or "one thousands and sixty twenty"?

[GuiltyLion]

personally I kinda like the pressure generated by the progression as it generates info in people might decide to unilaterally throw, people might get us uncomfortably close to finishing w/o reads on everyone, people might make a 'mistake' and we can argue whether there was scum motivation in throwing at that point, etc

there's no reason to totally ignore it at the moment I think, and it'll be hard to generate pressure via other means with no votes

we need to be really proactive about who we want to vote and our reads, so we are held accountable as they change from day to day. rn my vote's on WhyMafia

[Irrelephant11]

31 can we use the vote tags? might as well as we go

[GuiltyLion]

32

also if we do designate a few people to guarantee that we win the challenge as we wrap up the day phase, I think we can trust even if they are scum that they won't throw, as throwing at the point where we can no longer save it should be a policy lynch tonight if it happens

Im still working on "one thousands and sixty twenty". So far I have tried converting 325 into base 3 ("powers of 3") and cubing it (same logic) and not come up with anything that could resemble that number (1620? 2200?) Im inclined to think its just flavored conversation for the picture that came before the poem of the challenge.

[Enigma]

35

Could we also brainstorm, based on how we understand the challenge, how scum could be recommended to throw this (they get additional instructions according to the mod) apart from the lol whoopsies approach?

[Irrelephant11]

36

"one thousands" > 1000
"and sixty twenty" > 80?

1080?

pedit: Well they could recommend a delaying tactic like "thoughts on ignoring the counting until the last three days?"

[teacher]

37

They also get told the answer to the puzzle sometimes.... Perhaps this one is self-evident and the question is whether scum will decide to self-sacrifice or not.
