Alright, nachotammy didn't vote at all until night 2, when they voted for dream 1 (whatever that means), and they're currently also voting for dream 1, but I've been told I can change that as much as I want until end of moonrise (which I guess is like extended twilight or something?)Wandering but not lost-

@brian: how confident are you (a %age would be nice) in your LLD read that you'd be willing to forgo potential clears to lynch her today?
Still not fully caught up, but am getting townvibes from Sakura and Ceph for semi-setup reasons.
Do we think that everyone including scum gets to vote for dreams? And does everyone find out whether their vote actually counted in moonrise?Wandering but not lost-

I kinda think you're both town from this tbh.
Desperado I don't really have a read on from his posts I've read, but having been the counter wagon d1 with a vote from baku has me thinking town. Syry's play eeems to fit scum-apathy (with a badly performing team?) somewhat well though. I think for lack of a better alternative I'll

Eh, suboptimal play because of overconfident reads is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I'm not fussed about an absolute percentage, and obviously I don't know exactly how strongly you feel about this read. Assuming you're town, you should consider whether, every time you're this confident in a read on a claimed investigative, you would have a net positive by lynching scum early, or a net negative by denying a town PR more investigations (and if genuine potentially drawing the NK). It's also worth considering that in this relatively large game with roles being given out we may well have other options for sorting LLD.In post 3401, Brian Skies wrote:

I'm leaning towards scum being unable to receive dreams, but I'd imagine that either way, there will be some town that can't? Sakura's claimed role is still quite weird. What happens if she targets someone who isn't dream receptive?
I'm quite interested in both parts of this quote.In post 2271, Sakura Hana wrote:

Are you sure you're not just (fake-)tunnelling here to avoid having to deal with the other wagons? Even if you think LLD is 100% the right lynch, I don't think it's happening.In post 3412, Brian Skies wrote:
I wouldn't be voting her if I didn't genuinely think she was scum.

You think that it's still early and that it'sonlyDay 3. To me, it'salreadyDay 3 and we're down two mislynches (Nos; the mason lovers).
I have no interest in being taken for a ride by the scumteam just because people are too scared to lynch a claimed investigative role. I don't think that's good play and never will. If you don't like the lynch choice, then you can either A) convince me that she's town, B) talk to me about my second preferred lynch (Smith), or C) convince me that another lynch will flip scum.Wandering but not lost-

I feel mixed about maria, but think twie or desp are pretty good lynches today. Don't really see how you (or anyone else) is getting town from low-effort syry. I could see a clean null if you think he just didn't get into the mafia here.Wandering but not lost-

I would be keen on popcorn massclaiming followed by sakura's target claiming who they are. We should claim dream related aspects, but not necessarily specific targets.
If no 'dreamer' is by default dream-unreceptive, that might indicate that most scum are.
Also did anyone ever get any further insight into what the nightmare n2 was? Was it like a 1-shot scum ability, or did it maybe have to do with something like adulterating the dream by sakura having targeted scum?Wandering but not lost-

Which we would find out by giving the watcher opportunity to claim that they got the power, not by having sakura claim who received it.In post 3746, hebichan wrote:my counterargument though, is that if the person did not receive the power, then they are not dream receptive, and therefore likely caught scum.
Given LLD's claimed inno, while I'm starting to disbelieve it, I'm fine with keeping smith to claim last.Wandering but not lost-

So dreamer flavour + lack of dream-unreceptive claims (again if anyone is, please confirm) has me thinking that scum are unreceptive, (although I suppose they might have a way of making themselves receptive or others unreceptive). Nonetheless I think Sakura can basically act as some sort of fruitvendor/cop, since I don't think unreceptive players could use the 1-shot abilities given, and probably wouldn't know they were targeted.
I think that means we should try to get 1-shot abilities and every day have the recipient claim that they got it (including today).
I don't think Hider really fits in the game tbh. The other roles are all bespoke and related to the dreams, while the standard roles are distributed as dreams.
I also just realised that we can probably tell the number of scum from ceph's thing, if they can't vote on it?Wandering but not lost-

I'm trying to figure out how your role is meant to be used, because I'm p sure ffery/Cabd/Vi would have something interesting in mind and wouldn't just red herring it.
If everyone can vote on dreams and you get the count at hammer, that's not really very interesting. It's possible everyone can vote, but the masons (or 2 scum. or 1 each) happened not to. But it makes the most interesting mechanic if scum can't vote and it can be used to partition town/scum, although if that's the case I think that'd suggest there are only 2 scum left (and that power might be pretty OP).Wandering but not lost-

Me neither, which suggests we have something wrong?
Did maybe the masons dying cause the nightmare? The flip says they're 'modified' in some way.
How would you feel about follow-the-BP-hopefully-kinda-cop until scum are forced to waste a shot on Sakura?
I kind of think LLD is more likely scum than town at this point, but a no-lynch or 2 might also help with her claimed role.
I would say for setup reasons it seems likely that either Sakura's role can be used as a cop, or we actually do have a hider.Wandering but not lost-

My gut tells me that game-design wise the nightmare wasn't a scum ability. It's just more fun to give scum targeted roles and have nightplay require skill. I'm thinking it's the sort of thing that would be related to maybe scum being lynched D1, or the modified mason lovers dying N2.
I'm a bit worried that not all of the claimed dream-roles are town. Forcing scum to all claim VT by having specifically themed town-roles without either fakeclaims or ambivalent scum PRs seems not great. Ceph's, Sakura's, and Smith's are all pretty trivially verifiable, so if scum those would have to be actual scum roles.
I don't get as strong a TvT vibe between Sakura and Maria as I did with drealm earlier. Sakura was pretty reasonable in pointing out a missing explanation, and I don't think Maria's attitude of "well you could have just asked me" is reasonable - she's just being obstinate, either as a way of deflecting or because she just is obstinate.Wandering but not lost-

That's only relevant if lld is town, so at least no-lynch is preferable to lynching lld.
I've played a few games with syry, albeit a while a go, but I'd be very surprised if he's suddenly readable based on enjoyment, and even if that was the case the circumstances of his replacing out mitigate that somewhat.Wandering but not lost-

I don't see ceph being scum here, neither by play nor by role. I also don't see town!lld's claimed role existing, but being useless. I think lld has painted herself into a corner, as there really isn't a sensible gamestate with her as town.
I think she's bussing one of twie and drealmerz, and falsely cleared one of hebi and regfan. Of the former, I'm not really sure, but between the latter I do think being able to receive and send on the dream mildly suggests reg is more likely town. I guess there's also a chance it's twie and drealmerz, so I'm looking at lld + 2 of {twie, dreal, hebi}.
I don't really see this game making sense otherwise, so I think it's worth considering lynching lld today on the off chance we get a vig/doc or something giving us another shot to spare (maybe dream 2?). OTOH maybe whatever ability we get when no-lynching is going to do more to clear this up.Wandering but not lost-

Please explain why you think this is the case?In post 4066, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:The world where my results are TRUE and the world where my results are FALSE POSITIVES due to dream sensitivity interactions. In this post, I will discuss both worlds.
In the world where my results are true, the end result is very simple. Hebi and Regfan are conf. town. Sakura is basically town by ability. Leaving 4 options, Ceph/Serra/TWIE/Drealmerz.
Of those 4, Serra is the most town, based onCephrir's ability being more useful to scum than town, Drealmerz being a scummy fuck and TWIE being a lurk fuck.
So Drealmerz/Cephrir/TWIE, probably.
It rather looks to me that LLD saw she was running out of suspects so made up an interpretation of his ability in order to sell a scumread on him.Wandering but not lost-

The only scenario I can see in which lld is town is if her role is fucky, in which case I would always take another night instead.In post 4119, Regfan wrote:Run me through this a little more since the only argument I can see here is "If she's town she targets someone else if we NL and we get more information" but that's kind of meh in that if we're NL'ing she shouldn't be hiding at all since if she's town and we NL and she hides behind someone if it's mafia we outright lose, if it's town mafia shoot that person and two people die and we lose. So like, isn't the opposite the case? If we're playing in the LLD!Town world lynching elsewhere here is the move since it means she can hide tonight if we hit.Wandering but not lost-

You really think there wouldn't be fake claims when one of the roles was almost literally a dream eater and firmly evil? Cobb from Inception is a bit grey in parts, but still firmly a good guy.
