HMS Mutiny - The Wide Wide Ocean

[Radical Rat]

You did a real good job stringing us along, Elements. Almost got away with it even

[Radical Rat]

Also apologies to Gimli for scumreading you (and Eira) most of the game, but hey. We made it in the end

[Radical Rat]

i'm townreading eiralox please help me

This is exactly the feeling I got when I realized

[Radical Rat]

But yeah, it's just Mala and Flea now. Game's solved as long as Nancy and Eira don't tunnel each other

[Radical Rat]

If Eiralox had been the lim, you probably would have won

[Radical Rat]

Instead of Gimli I mean

[Radical Rat]

If Eiralox had been the lim, you probably would have won

Where do you think you would've looked if we hadn't spotted anyone and I claimed spotted?

Malakittens, obv.

[Radical Rat]

Only way we lose is if Eira's too stubborn to accept that Elements flipping roleblocker makes Nancy Town, but I don't expect that to happen.

[Radical Rat]

Eira, no
D:

[Radical Rat]

Honestly, the goon/VT thing is probably the same conclusion I would have come to if I were an actual vanilla parity cop or whatever. I was already scumreading KJ, Titus's result suggested vanilla, and the odds of hitting two goons was pretty unlikely.

It's why I didn't take that argument seriously at the time.

[Radical Rat]

They didn't spot Nancy because she's who they have to mislim. Flea's already posturing for it.

[Radical Rat]

And they didn't spot Eiralox because they need him and Nancy to fight. Removing either of them from the pool greatly increases the chance that Town correctly rallies around the correct solve we had yesterday.

And then of course Bella's not possible without a roleblocker.

[Radical Rat]

It does occur to me that it is TECHNICALLY possible Nancy's a traitor instead of Mala.... but I don't actually think that's the case here. Not when Mala has an incredibly implausible claim and also lied about that claim on top.

[Radical Rat]

I think we should be allowed to come back as Ghost Pirates to yell at the surviving crew

[Radical Rat]

An interesting development, but one that changes nothing. Unfortunately Flea has mastered the underrated but overpowered scum strat of being nice*, and unless Eiralox is able to overcome that and accept the truth we are still doomed.


*I do not believe fae is faking being nice solely for manipulative purposes, just that faer genuine kindness is also beneficial to faer goals as scum.

[Radical Rat]

Implying scum wouldn't want to shoot today is another great move by Flea. Putting doubt on the existence of an extra scum makes it easier for faer to steer the conversation away from Malakittens and onto Bella.

The obvious answer is that if scum doesn't shoot today, and loses the elimination, we're out of ELo and then it's basically auto-win if we have two eliminations to work with. However, a more arrogant scumteam would feasibly skip the shot to avoid creating an IC, and presenting that scenario as the default "correct" play instead of killing normally is a great foundation for very incorrect logic

[Radical Rat]

Well, that's probably it then, unless Eira's mood shifts again and he's able to sway Bella and Nancy back.

[Radical Rat]

How important would it be to have watched or know anything about Demon Slayer?

[Radical Rat]

Consider me interested, pending what other games I have going on when it happens

[Radical Rat]

Nah, Bella scum has no reason to claim anything. While it is unfortunate that she cannot see the truth about Mala, she's still absolutely Town here.

[Radical Rat]

Mala refusing to hammer is odd though. Guess she has to be 3P, and not Survivor
