Touhou UCanPick 5 - [Game Over]

[SXTLHGaiden]

and so it's begun. Tradition mandates i post this:

[SXTLHGaiden]

iirc FakeGod doesn't accept bold generics eg

Vig Lexa

, you'll need to make it a proper spell card to count for realsies.

It's true. in order to use a spell card it has to be formatted like this

Symbol "Dance of the Dead Butterflies - Cherry Blossoms -": Sky_Paladin

[SXTLHGaiden]

ya know, i really like your name. It happens to be my favorite russian folk song.

[SXTLHGaiden]

well don't i feel loved.
then again, i've never been policy lynched. might be a good experience.
sure, people have claimed they were gonna PL me, but it somehow never happened.

[SXTLHGaiden]

ah, man. I gots a vote on me and everything now.

[SXTLHGaiden]

ALL THE PRESSURE!

[SXTLHGaiden]

Very quickly:
Gamma looks like scum.

I don't buy that Katyusha's role is explicitly town. I'd like a flavor claims as well as a claim of any other effects.
A,) I 100% believe that FakeGod might give scum an additional kill, especially if they can't really target it.
B.) The 'if I think they're scummy' caveat bothers me.
C.) It's clearly not a vig or anything like that. It's strictly worse than double day which has questionable utility when we're at odds anyway.

normally, i'm all for flavor claims, but given the setup, knowing flavor tells people when you can start using your 1-shot abilities.
Otherwise, i'd have flavor claimed right now.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Well, sky did play in touhou upick 4 [aborted] and there were enough spellcard being thrown around that he'd know the rules.

[SXTLHGaiden]

oh shit scum did have killing power in that one, hm

i guess i'm not an IC, which is fine, but still. i still think we should use my spellcard asap

almost every death in that game was scum hyper murdering.
I had a lot of fun.

[SXTLHGaiden]

didn't read that, doesn't matter. it's because of the 1 action per phase deal. it limits what's viable.

What? Where is that?

FG's first post. Under "Setup".

[SXTLHGaiden]

I also just learned that going to night phase advances the stage.

[SXTLHGaiden]

I also just learned that going to night phase advances the stage.

how did you not know this yet

i won't claim that i know how to "read" like you fancy "literate" people.
also, i pretty much just joined the game without reading anything.

[SXTLHGaiden]

If scum have extra killing power in this game where no one else can act in a phase I'd be surprised

If only one card can be played per phase, then would that apply to the scumteam too? Scum might not even get to play their cards if town keep playing theirs first.

Yeah, but that means if scum have an extra kill town has nothing it can really do about it if the scum is fast enough. plus there's the balance trickery of scum having the ability to destroy lylo

pretty sure FG has learned his lesson about having games be Timestamp Sensitive.

[SXTLHGaiden]

oh that reminds me

gaiden do you have any thoughts in terms of reads? most of your posts have been about setup stuff so i dont really know where your head is at

no real reads at the moment. I'm actually terrible at reading people though text. Much better when i can actually hear their voice.

[SXTLHGaiden]

TBH this is the most I've seen Gaiden post in a game - is it AI?

Totes

[SXTLHGaiden]

TG is right, the earliest you'd be able to use it is night 2. and if you do that publicly, then we can't use a spell card to save you.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Human

so i was gonna lay low and just wait till spots thin out before going in too hard

I'm upgrading my lolvote on Human Sequencer from 'sheeping Eddie' to 'serious vote'.

Oh man, i haven't seen this much blatant lurking since me.

[SXTLHGaiden]

don't forget you need FG to put the VC down.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Would you say your Pr is better than an alignment cop

Since that’s what Dunn claimed iirc

Also Gaiden do you have any thoughts about like reads yet...

gaiden.reads == garbage
i kind of want dunn to claim his character now that he already claimed his ability. But i might be feeling super paranoid about it.

[SXTLHGaiden]

you can just bother FG to post VC's. he is usually good about posting them when asked. At least from my experience.

[SXTLHGaiden]

@FakeGod: If we ask you to post a VC, willl you?

VCs are intentionally distanced in this game.

LAAAAAAME

[SXTLHGaiden]

It's a paranoia thing. Feel free to ignore it.

[SXTLHGaiden]

OK that's what I thought

So here is my spell card, and what I plan to use this day phase: I can investigate a player and if they don't have a spell card I learn their alignment

I think I want to investigate somebody who was off-wagon, specifically one of [Human Sequencer, SXTLHGaiden, DaLetterEL]

Which would require one of them using their spell card before I could check their alignment, of course

plan won't work...

[SXTLHGaiden]

so many claims going around. had dunn full claimed yet?
anyway, why don't we have kat vig someone, we then lynch. At night TG jailkeeps dunn. then d3 dunn cops TG or kat for guaranteed IC?

[SXTLHGaiden]

i mean, this only fails iff both scum are in {kat, TG, dunn}

[SXTLHGaiden]

I'm stage 6 though. If things go that way and they no kill we get an extra lynch. Also I'll get to rolecop like, 5 people, which could be bad for scum potentially.

damn, i was under the impression you were stage 3 or 4...

[SXTLHGaiden]

oh man, another Gaiden vote this game.
what's the reason this time?

[SXTLHGaiden]

VOTE: Gaiden
don't like that response

well, i don't like your face. so there.

[SXTLHGaiden]

How can you hate what you haven't seen
How about rather than be reactive you actually give some damn reads

people really complain about my reactive playstyle.
i've even been asked how playing like this can be fun.

[SXTLHGaiden]

How about
if people don't like how you play
fix it?

why?

[SXTLHGaiden]

well, to be honest, with each post dunn makes, i want him to be unalive.

[SXTLHGaiden]

I'm down for all happy fun time murder plans.
As for my claim.
I'm Ibuki Suika.
Stage 6
spell card: for 1 stage, become unkillable, lose my vote, and make a person L-1.
FG says that if i use this on a person who has a vote on them they insta-lynch.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i have most flavor knowledge. i'm kinda iffy on things past ten desires.
as far as i know, it just makes me unkillable if i use it at night. i didn't ask FG if i needed to specify a target. The L-1 thing doesn't persist across stages.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Gaiden doesn't mind being copped.
Should Gaiden hammer?

[SXTLHGaiden]

also gaiden i wanted to do the classic soviet hammer that im apparently known for now

Go forth Comrade.

[SXTLHGaiden]

Last note about Gaiden. My role has as a night action a natural extension of the day role. Gaiden has claimed nothing. He is certainly not full-claiming.

claimed nothing?

[SXTLHGaiden]

If you guys get a Gaiden lynch together in 2 hours I’ll hammer

Otherwise I’m kind of forced to do TG anyway

so long as hebi's night action is decided before hand, i'm fine with this.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i'm still curious why text thinks i'm not full claiming.

[SXTLHGaiden]

i dunno. if i use it at night i just become unkillable. blame FG for it not making sense with everyone else's.

[SXTLHGaiden]

well, my card is ded.

[SXTLHGaiden]

how many alignment cops do we have left?

[SXTLHGaiden]

cool, we can vig our way to victory then.
anyway, until hebi comes by and says "unfortunately, Gaiden is town" i'mma be all pretend-conftown with you.

[SXTLHGaiden]

why are you town again

cause i'm the towniest motherfucker ever.

[SXTLHGaiden]

well, hebi conf-towns me. then we decide that the conftown only fails if both of us are scum then we see what to do about that later.
i'm told we have vigs, so we start coordinating shots when we are able and whittle down the questionables while katy and i tank NK's.

[SXTLHGaiden]

paranoid gaiden is always in favor of verifying claims. since dunn died, we can't just use a card to verify hebi, unless someone's holding out on us.

[SXTLHGaiden]

also, this is the longest i've gone without voting someone in a game ever.

[SXTLHGaiden]

splatoon is the best shooter.

[SXTLHGaiden]

SXTLHGaiden has voted at various parts of the game so the unvote is strategic

This is 100% untrue.

[SXTLHGaiden]

I haven't voted this game.
what game are you reading?

[SXTLHGaiden]

also, this is the longest i've gone without voting someone in a game ever.

[SXTLHGaiden]

I think that I probably saw this post when scrolling past earlier in the game and mistook that for a vote from you (Gaiden). You weren't high enough in my likely-scum-candidate list for me to note who you were voting

for

.

and yet you made up activities for me...

[SXTLHGaiden]

Eddie Cane [2] - Text Generator, Elbirn
Text Generator [1] - hebichan
Brian Skies [2] - Sky_Paladin, Gamma Emerald
DaLetterEl [1] - Purrcocet
Human Sequencer [3] - Dunnstral, Eddie Cane, Katyusha
Gamma Emerald [2] - Human Sequencer, DaLetterEl

Based solely on this VC, I'd look at lynching Elbrin or DaLetterL.

Can you explain why Gaiden is conftown?

cause everything i do screams conftown.
also, was copped by hebi.

[SXTLHGaiden]

yeah, shooting hebi is wrong most scenarios. i mean, first thing, they shoot katy.
Then, they can shoot me or an actual utility role.
the only way hebi dies is if we decide "wow, we really need a 100% confirm on Gaiden"
