Overkill 1: Serenity/Firefly (GAME OVER)

[McMenno]

I have been tasked with replacing into this game. why I accepted? maybe because I'm a masochist. who are the scum?

[McMenno]

@AP if you haven't found a replacement I can come back if you're willing to let me cancel my replacement. I approached my boss about my work schedule today and he's cutting me some slack going forward since it's my recital semester.

... This is awkward.l

it's only awkward if you make it so!

[McMenno]

well, I hope I'm not dead by the end of this game

Isn't Reavers from Mass Effect?

He picked the wrong Sci-fi series.

Also, my attempt at getting out of the early stages clearly gave us SOMETHING. Now what people make of it is up to them.

No there are reavers here too....and I do not believe them to be town.

have games changed to the point now that they are unbreakable by flavor?

this post pings me. I'm up to that page.

cheekyteeky and northsidegal are also not vibing well with me up to that point.

I will now head to bed and read up more tomorrow, since I was already doing that when almost sent me the pm

[McMenno]

any random group of four is going to have scum more likely than not unless you believe there to be less than four scum so I don't think it's a very meaningful statement anyway

Thanks for reducing all my work to a 'random group of four'.

I'm just saying that saying that "this group of four probably has scum in it" is about as useful as rolling dice. you said you think toog and chara are scum. do you think cheeky and elsa are not scum?

also, you said that "If you guys still refuse to see how RC/Chara slot is questionable at best, let's lynch Toog instead. Consider my vote on both" and then you vote chara instead. why?

[McMenno]

I'm just saying that saying that "this group of four probably has scum in it" is about as useful as rolling dice.

Assuming 4 scum, there is an ~30% chance of randomly choosing 4 non scum out of 17 players.

With the killing mechanics in place, I assume scum have atleast 4 members since they can only lose 2 a cycle like town. That mechanic helps everyone.

I also think it may be 3/4 3p then? That sounds like a stretch but I'm going under the assumption that only 2 3p can die a cycle as well.

4 scum + 3/4 3rd party + 9/10 (over half) townies? That means at the very least, 3p have 2 others in hiding.

I can't imagine there being more than 2 third parties. your assumption of 10 townies doesn't sound very balanced for town in a 17 player game.

[McMenno]

well, the game ends when either town or "all threats to town" are eliminated, right? so that doesn't leave much room for 3ps other than survivours or serial killers. and if there's scum with killing powers then I can't really see more than one sk. you claimed survivour, right? do you think it's likely that there is another survivour?

[McMenno]

and by the way, did you receive any flavour as a third party?

[McMenno]

Okay, what's the tpwhatever case? Lurkscum?

[McMenno]

I am incredibly confused about that last series of posts

[McMenno]

The TPFKAP lynch will basically be a policy lynch considering his flip will be almost entirely informationless.

...and people gave me a hard time for saying we should lynch the third party player.

I don't see how it'd a bad thing to lynch scummy slots who are inactive over scummy slots who post content. When I quit mafia the meta in large themes was active town lynching eachother and scum just coasting so I fail to see why this is a bad thing

[McMenno]

{RR, Chara, NSG, Gamma, Mala}
{Elsa, NDS, BuJaber}
{NicoRobin, Chick, Thor}
{Jingle, McMenno, Toogeloo, Flicker}

If someone can tell me what the bottom 4 have in common I'll locktown you for the rest of the game.

it's that we're cool

[McMenno]

elsa said that her doc blocks all kills. and she's a neutral. so if it's multiball, I wouldn't be surprised at a town doc

[McMenno]

Interesting. Was TPFKAP possibly distancing here?

Like, just look at this, let's even accept that Nancy honestly thought TPFKAP knew exactly who their teammates were.
Is she *agreeing* that this is distancing?
Is she *disagreeing*?
Is she discussing her personal thoughts on anything?
Or is she making noise and hoping someone else will attack a slot for something?

Pedit: I am fine with you not wanting to mine. But at that stage YOU'VE ALREADY TAKEN THE DEBATE AS FAR AS IT CAN GO BECAUSE BUJABER ISN'T GOING TO CLAIM SCUM IF HE'S FAKING HIS THEORY.

I agree you can decided this for yourself and get back to us - I fail to see the point of the debate in helping you, he stated his theory, you noted your hole - thus endeth the excitement.

Sheep me on Nancy Drew?

She’s a Martyr. Isn’t that the definition of a martyr? They know who their teammates are but not the other way around? I know that was the case for scum!Wisdom in Labrynth.

I don't believe you're just playing dumb... I've only seen one player be this tonedeaf about roles

VOTE: nancy drew shogunate

sorry for not being "in"to this game, some rough days

[McMenno]

and I would request cheekyteeky to stop spreading fake news about me or have their team shoot me tonight

Yuck.

*notes resistance to wagon*

is not wanting to be lynched scummy nowadays

[McMenno]

Well if Robin's strategy of not even playing this game while being elsewhere on site can be considered Null or even town by some... Then yes, Menno.

in all of the games I've played with nicorobin and their alts I have never actually seen them do anything of substance... isn't that impressive

[McMenno]

sorry I'm not really "in" to well like, life, right now

my reads are about as solid as a jelly pudding

I don't have any hard townreads

mala, nsg, cheeky, the other n shogunate??? are all like. bad. kill them

[McMenno]

I couldn't be arsed to lynch you so yeah sure

[McMenno]

that is like so many questions and I'm like so tired so not now good night

[McMenno]

okay, I haven't posted for two days. I know, I'm terrible. this mala wagon is a good wagon

VOTE: malakittens

let me get to jingle's questions that he asked me

[McMenno]

Any particular reason on Mala/NSG scum? Is the Shogunate vote more than a sheep/PL and if so what about their play seems more scum than derptown?

Any reason why you think your reads are shaky this game? Is that a normal thing for you? Do you have an approximate enddate to when your reads usually firm up? Is there any interaction/game state feature that you can point to as being particularly difficult to parse?

from what I've read they "feel" off to me. I haven't read their entire isos yet, maybe if I do that something could jump out.
for nancy. I liked thor's case. and cheeky was voting me and that was a counterwagon. and I really cba to try and lead a wagon on my own

when I played in the past I usually found one read to "latch onto" so to say. not as in posting extensive cases on them. more like voting them all the time. I haven't really seen like that this game.
maybe they firm up when I find it in me to read from page nine to my replacein.
this gamestate seems pretty typical to me. there are like four or five or six people actively posting. the rest are like lurking. the usual for large themes

[McMenno]

The biggest fundamental flaw with Chickadee's claim is that it requires someone familiar with the flavor to interpret it. Imagine signing up for this game with zero flavor knowledge. Maybe you just liked the player list or something. And then the mod tells you that you have to figure out your own reults based on random images.Tha's game solving inside of game solving, Inception levels of difficulty

this isn't a problem with the claim. flavour knowledge is important for this game, i can guarantee it.

seems like it, since this game seems to have been half broken already by flavour already.

so the "unclaimed lynch pool" is between like four or five people currently? but now there's a toogeloo wagon as well. is that based purely on setup spec or because reads?

since malakittens is apparently third party

VOTE: ari

[McMenno]

hey, I'm also technically retired.

Wait when TF was McMenno a Wagon and why? XD

It seems I missed that!

the wagon on me is obviously a scum fabrication to slander my name and take the head of a virtuous town player.

now that I think about it, my vanity vote is better server VOTE: CheekyTeeky

[McMenno]

yeah well, don't do that

[McMenno]

I'm truly sorry to almost who like asked me to replace into this game in the hopes that I'd be reliable but another thing in my life, especially a mafia game, is just not something I can handle right now.

Please replace me.
