Hollow Knight Mafia [Radiance's Infected PT]

[Thestatusquo]

hi.

fucking finally I am evil.

as opposed to every other game I have ever played where I have been extremely innocent.

[Thestatusquo]

how dire is the situation with dan? How do I approach it?

[Thestatusquo]

How set up am I to deep wolf? How suspected is vp slot generally?

[Thestatusquo]

like is this mainly an activity wagon? The line of me knowing dan from back in the day and knowing he's just not very active is plausible if we think its important and this is salvageable.

[Thestatusquo]

Ok so its not like he's being lock scum read by a ton of people.

Gunna read the thread tonight and then see what I can do. I intend to be pretty loud.

[Thestatusquo]

Just vibe better dude

[Thestatusquo]

Have you considered that maybe short posts that go with the flow of the thread are potentially a more efficient use of you time than big clunkers?

[Thestatusquo]

No i had no idea you were in this game but it's a very useful and plausible lie lol

[Thestatusquo]

This game seems fine. Let's turn that frown upside down mister.

[Thestatusquo]

I think Dan needs to save himself

[Thestatusquo]

A little ate a little real time interaction a little agreeing with some of the things people who are SUS of you are saying. It's magic.

[Thestatusquo]

@dan I think fireisreds latest posting are a really good point and I think you really need to have some engagement with the here and now of the game to try to combat the point he's making which is that the impact of your substance is diminished by the form.

[Thestatusquo]

cakez do you usually play this disengaged as town? I don't think you're taking any stances or posting thoughts or attacking or defending anyone since I've joined the thread. I'm going to have a very hard time explaining why I'm not scum reading you if you don't participate a little bit more actively.

[Thestatusquo]

I think that will look pretty bad later but you do you boo. I'm not saying you need to stir the pot but asking people reading-related questions and vibing a bit would probably help you grab town reads.

I think I have alisae pretty pocketed which is crazy because that's not even what I was trying to do last night.

[Thestatusquo]

yeah that was the conclusion I came to also, sorry mate.

[Thestatusquo]

I mean that could theoretically confirm you but I think that role is pretty strongly meta'd as a scum role but might put off your lim for a day, I'm just not sure how worthwhile that is if it just pushes the lim onto cakez. But who knows.

[Thestatusquo]

the "oh I forgot I was gated" thing is soooooo :/

Town me would be all over it.

[Thestatusquo]

lmao thats what I'm doing. I think you're going down regardless.

[Thestatusquo]

If the claim saves you and I flip later that looks really good for me so thats the best world. If firebringer starts defending you thats gravy.

[Thestatusquo]

*and you flip later

[Thestatusquo]

Yeh I think we're gucci. I think I'm pretty well set up to deep wolf the shit out of this game.

What do we think about night stuff?

[Thestatusquo]

yeah dan is gone. Pour one out and such.

[Thestatusquo]

Black is definitely a potential mislim down the line especially if I die because he's defended Dan and me hard

I think so too but I think it would be premature to go for it yet. I think people will be inclined to town read the hard defense of dan in the immediate aftermath and will look back on it less fondly in a few days, plus he's just comfortably very wrong about a lot of stuff and decently loud so pretty useful to have around for right now.

[Thestatusquo]

I think peta kill points to me very strongly. Pretty much his only stance in the game so far is that VPB was scum.

Fireisred is a reasonable shot, though I wonder if people might eventually be willing to lim there.

Ari is probably a reasonable kill but might point to you a lot.

petapan
Aristeia
fireisredsir
Morning Tweet

This is probably the reasonable list of kills.

[Thestatusquo]

I'd rather just not be coordinated and see where the town goes. I think there's a good chance it goes well for us.

[Thestatusquo]

I think I'll be leaning pretty heavily on the flavor cop component of my role if ever forced to kill, feel like I should start using it now.

Think I'll target black since he's extremely unlikely to die any time soon.

[Thestatusquo]

*forced to claim

[Thestatusquo]

Actually scratch that I havent slept and thats a terrible idea because I wouldn't have any reason to target him. I think I should target FB but I think there's a good chance FB is a miselim target, same with RedFF.

[Thestatusquo]

Maybe Alisae.

[Thestatusquo]

wait has anyone here played this game? I need a crash course on flavor. Our flavor is damning, yes? And we don't have fake claims? Like am I wrong that the fake claims we're given here are useless since one of our "brothers" has already flipped and that flipped PM explicitly talks about our brotherhood?

[Thestatusquo]

@modtisi

How are these fake claims when the flavor explicitly still ties us together as scum?

[Thestatusquo]

its possible I am being dumb from sleep deprivation but I feel like if I claim a character that is brothers with a scum character that explicitly talks about how the scum PT is brotherhood related I will get hammered into a fine mist by about 10 people?

[Thestatusquo]

Ah ok yes I am dumb. The brotherhood PT is the neighborhood.

Got it. This is why I should sleep before I try to think about complicated planning stuff.

[Thestatusquo]

I don't have the main thread to spam so you have to deal with it here.

In some ways maybe its better for dan that he died.

[Thestatusquo]

I have extremely frantic energy.

[Thestatusquo]

1. Firebringer - Likely to go down on his own without much help from the squad. My main concern if hes some very confirmable obviously pro town utility role. That would kind of be an unlucky disaster

2. petapan - not getting limmed right now, potentially limmable later as paranoia grows. Has suspicions about me but otherwise is kind of off base but its unclear how much of that is due to disengagement.

5. Aristeia - Is never getting limmed, will definitely have to be NKed at some point. Some suspicion of me, some of cakez.

6. Alisae - Is pretty wrong about some stuff, and is likely to be loud about it. I think I have this slot pocketed.

7. fireisredsir- I think fire is likely to get more townie as the game goes along and we're going to have to put a bullet here at some point.

9. furtiveglance - I think this is a pretty easy miselim if we want it based on peoples reactions to him.

10. Klick - I have no idea what klicks position in the thread is and have a hard time thinking of concrete stances.

11. Morning Tweet - There's much more equivocating about MT in the thread than I expected so while I generally expect this slot to need NKing when shes town I am not sure right now.

13. Mistyx - Potentially a mislim but I think misty is pretty good at staying alive and seeming pretty town from my limited experience.

14. Black - This slot could potentially be mislimmed later but is pretty untouchable right now. Luckily he's pretty comfortably wrong and the ways he is wrong will likely push him to town read me even stronger. I think very much in my pocket.

15. redFF - Could be miselimmed, also seems to think I'm very town

16. Cat Scratch Fever - CSF is another slot that I think is townier than the thread at large seems to think. I'd say normally we'd need to put a bullet here but I'm not sure we need to? Could be worth it to avoid her getting her feet under her and not sure the kill looks bad for anyone in particular.

17. Asri Teroka - I think this slot will actually be much harder to lim than you'd expect. We'll eventually have to kill that one I think.

[Thestatusquo]

Is there a chance we have a traitor in this setup?

[Thestatusquo]

I don't really have an opinion on using it or not. We do need to make a decision on who to kill and who does it.

I think I'm going to cop Alisae. I think I can deal with the fallout from killing petapan if we just want to do that.

[Thestatusquo]

Placeholder

cakez kills peta

tsq cops alisae

Feel free to change this if you disagree with it y'all.

[Thestatusquo]

Is peta the right kill? It would be nice to get some fresh from you gimli

[Thestatusquo]

Feedback*

[Thestatusquo]

That's a pretty scum siding role.

[Thestatusquo]

Uh ok. We might be about to get fucked.

[Thestatusquo]

Lmao he had a one shot jk and used it n1 and blocked our kill because he thought the target was scum.

Fucking a

[Thestatusquo]

I mean its good distraction but I much prefer the nightkill lmao.

[Thestatusquo]

Welp. This day is just about the worst possible thing that could have happened to us. Fun times. I was worried about this game not finishing before TM but like fuck me.

[Thestatusquo]

So what's our plan, gimli? Cry in a corner?

[Thestatusquo]

I vote cry in a corner.

[Thestatusquo]

We must have a traitor, theres no way this setup makes sense with just us 4 and us getting our asses kicked every direction.

[Thestatusquo]

If we had just shot ari lmao.

[Thestatusquo]

It was, I am going to say, not exactly a good day night day cycle for us.

[Thestatusquo]

I still intend to win this game fwiw.

[Thestatusquo]

I think I'm very widely town read.

The problem with role madness is there's so many ways to get fucked.

[Thestatusquo]

Have you been town reading furtive?

I feel like we need to go home run and give vigs to the people most likely to use them badly as long as you can justify a town read on them.

[Thestatusquo]

oh duh, yeah.

[Thestatusquo]

I think furtive is a good target. Then he just yolo shoots me and we die. Oh well so be it lmao.

[Thestatusquo]

So which of our fucking 5000 conf town do we kill.

If aris role is like furtives that could mean its a 1 shot and shes essentially vanilla.

[Thestatusquo]

I don't want to kill klick, I want to keep the "all scum hood" paranoia alive.

I don't hate killing MT, but I think a better shot of that kind might be CSF.

[Thestatusquo]

I'm down killing csf

you down doing the kill?

Any thoughts on who I should flavor cop?

[Thestatusquo]

mmm you're probably more likely to get tracked or whatever, maybe I should do the kill.

[Thestatusquo]

isnt that explicitly a reason to track you? To see if you're telling the truth?

I could flavor cop CSF and then also kill them so if I get tracked I can claim my true role along with my alisae result

[Thestatusquo]

actually a better version of that plan would be to not use the flavor cop so I can claim thats what I was doing.

[Thestatusquo]

maybe its just not worth playing around that scenario because in that scenario theres no way I endgame anyway and I need to make endgame.

[Thestatusquo]

Gimli kills CSF

Shea cops firebringer

[Thestatusquo]

oh, I assumed multitasking by default mb.

Gimli what do you think?

[Thestatusquo]

Yeah I mean it seems pretty important that your action goes off gimli so I'm ok with this.

[Thestatusquo]

o7

[Thestatusquo]

Fuck this game.

[Thestatusquo]

Honestly can we surrender?

@gimli @datisi

I don't see a viable path to winning this game

[Thestatusquo]

Like even if i somehow don't get limmed today I'm going to need to keep proving my role which i won't be able to do anyway without multitasking and gimli is also on borrowed time here.

[Thestatusquo]

Ok gl hf. I'm gonna self hammer at my earliest opportunity.

[Thestatusquo]

o7

Good luck and thanks for all the fish. If you win this game I'll personally compose a poem in your honor to use while nominating you for the well deserved scummy.
