[Titus]

Hi. I am the new Slerpy Slot. I have a lot on my plate but will give this game priority.

What should I know ASAP?

[Titus]

VOTE: Venmar

I'm a one shot delayed one shot rb.

I find it impossible to buy Venmar's claim.

[Titus]

That's your negative role?

Negative is the delayed.

[Titus]

I mean he really did role block everyone last night. Well, someone did anyway.

I don't understand what your getting at.

What are the odds of my weak role being in the game as town with Venmar's role being town? He is likely real...but scum.

[Titus]

That's your negative role?

Negative is the delayed.

Wait. So your negative modifier doesn't even really affect your ability to use your powers? Eeeeeh why are we all lapping this up feels like something possibly given to scum to reduce the gateway

This is utterly terrible attempt to confuse.

Negative Modifer Delayed (1 shot)
Positive Roleblock (1 shot)

Second why would town have two roleblockers?

[Titus]

venmar, titus, change your votes, those wagons are not happening today

Venmar is nearly outed scum. I think you're townish but FMPOV nothing else should happen. Nothing else is happening either. The problem seems to be more of a) badic setup design or b) my failure to convey the obvious.

Town having a one shot rb and a global one shot rb makes no sense.

[Titus]

Titus: can you please say what it is your delay is delaying? i'm really very confused. if you use it night 2, what's delayed? you can't roleblock until night 4?
also, i fail how to see a global roleblock (absolutely negative utility) can be counterclaimed by a targeted positive roleblock. it makes no sense.

When I submit my one shot rb, it fires the next phase. Simple.

Town doesn't usually get two roleblockers especially if one is much more powerful than the other. This is an excuse for scum Venmar to block all town abilities.


Simple.

[Titus]

I'll just wait and let you guys do whatever today.

[Titus]

Town having a one shot rb and a global one shot rb makes no sense.

This game was designed as follows.
1. Each player was given one of the artists they submitted.
2. I chose three song titles for each artist to represent their three abilities.

3. Player alignments were randomized.

Titus. Please thumb through the game rules of a Upick before spouting off with this nonsense.

They are randomized everygame. That doesn't change game balance.

It also does not change the total lack of town motivation of blocking all town but letting the nk go through.

[Titus]

Titus do you think i'm a bad enough player that i'd just out myself randomly as scum?

re: Vaxx; i don't think my tone has been inconsistent, i have just simply gone from softing to just being extremely blunt about what i think will happen n2.

pedit: lol you're getting real close all of the sudden vaxx

No. I just think you didn't expect a CC due to lurkers or that your role needed claiming to sell. I don't think you are a bad player at all. Claiming lightning rod is a strategy I used relatively effectively years ago as a scum lightning rod.

It seems like people are just overcomplicating. I will just keep my vote where it is and listen rather than people repeating "confusion" over and over while I repeat the same thing. We can agree to disagree until everything else catches up. Either I'll be shown wrong or they will.

I have no intention of moving my vote until a better scumhunting opportunity comes along.

[Titus]

They are randomized everygame. That doesn't change game balance.

It also does not change the total lack of town motivation of blocking all town but letting the nk go through.

Venmar's ability is negative utility and yours isn't. nothing to do with each other.

it's that simple.

We'll agree to disagree.

Please understand three song titles for artist.
Randomize.
Roles picked.

Town doesn't get two rbs.

I did read. I am not going to insult your intelligence or effort. Please do the same.

[Titus]

you're oversimplifying, the two abilities are completely different, and i also have a damn roleblock. town can be given two of the same ability, there's no rule that says they can't.
do something productive now, Titus, or i'm going to think you're the scum counterpart to

me

.

I did do something productive. Go ahead and vote me. I already announced I had limited time and I am prioritizing this game. I am doing the best that I can and highlighting scum where they are. However, if my opinion is unacceptable so be it.

The game was stagnating before I did anything at all. I will just have to wait for more emotional ways of scum showing tbemselves.

[Titus]

Notable that hebichan and mollie (and to a much lesser extent UT) both locktowned me on D1 but have since moved me into nullpool/lynchpool without explanation, now that 2 potential votes on me died at night.

This is really icky. I feel like both wagons today are scum-driven. I'll obviously vote a nullread again to save myself again (unless Gamma has provably positive town utility), but this is getting kind of ridiculous.

@Espeonage: I mean if you want the honest/ugly answer, I'm not getting wagoned as hard right now because 2 votes on my D1 wagon are now dead.

Who should we be voting?

[Titus]

This is really icky. I feel like both wagons today are scum-driven. I'll obviously vote a nullread again to save myself again (unless Gamma has provably positive town utility), but this is getting kind of ridiculous.

Who are scum driving the wagons? I actually think there's a decent chance scum are waiting around for us to eat our own heads off given the lack of consolidation.

[Titus]

I'm beginning to think the lack of coordination is some town players wanting garbage wagons, tearing up anythinv because it is not their pet wagon and ranting. Other town get demotivated because they feel they lack agency and leave. Thus getting my entry into the game.

[Titus]

Rather surprised at the Venmar kill. I would have voted him every day until he died until convinced he wasn't viable.

That probably means sad faces.

[Titus]

Curious.
My negative ability is that I give someone else the ability to cast my vote.
I'm guessing the now-dead Venmar has it, if my intended target doesn't.

And you are not announcing your target because?

[Titus]

VOTE: hebichan
i was scumreading hebi yesterday for gut, Math was there, and 1-shot amnesiac cop is only a negative if you're scum.
my negative did target hebi, by it's nature there's no way to know if it hit her or Venmar.

What does amnesiac mean in terms of role?

[Titus]

Can you just tell us what it was chara? Or is there some small chance you can learn something from it by yourself?

Edit,

You dont know what an amnesiac cop is?

There's two variants.

[Titus]

VOTE: Molle

Let's sort each other baby doll.

[Titus]

Gif breaks smh

[Titus]

[Titus]

Apparently my mollie vote was not counted...

VOTE: Mollie

[Titus]

Not a code. Just saying like I feel it in my gut.

[Titus]

Ok does anyone care about this game anymore? Legit talk.

[Titus]

VOTE: Espeonage

hebichan is town, Cooldog is town, Varsoon is town.

trying to read Titus for acting like "herself" is pointless when this game is so low energy. i'm happy to lynch anyone outside my townreads that also isn't Titus.

Hey sheep dog.

[Titus]

@mollie, who did you want lynch d1 and d2, why did that not happen?

[Titus]

I need the day. I'm in a bad place IRL. Sorry guys.

[Titus]

Mollie, how long should we wait on the confirmable role? We're getting close to lylo.

[Titus]

VOTE: Vaxkiller

[Titus]

So why have you not gotten scum lynched?

[Titus]

So why have you not gotten scum lynched?

Oh? It's up to me?

See espionage was town.

I meant at any point but glad to know we should look into Espy after you.

[Titus]

Are my votes delayed or something? I know I voted Vax and...

[Titus]

VOTE: Esp

We need a lynch but this wagon is garbage.

[Titus]

I'll be back later. Just alive.

I think we should have everyone pick two players they do not want to lynch. Assuming multiball, that ought to give us a unique lay of the land.

[Titus]

hebichan and elton might share an alignment

[Titus]

i think Titus and Elton are a strong possibility for a team. i need to grab the posts.

I would lynch Elton.

[Titus]

Upset your partner cannot TR you? We need to solve the game and get crosskills. TR reads can be how scum reveal who their partners are.

If you really felt I was scum, you could vote me.

[Titus]

Well this is easy. We reach a consensus on Elton John and Mollie decides to 1 v 1 me without TRing Elton. Plus a sudden reversal on the read of me.

This is why you make people announce who they TR in lylo.

VOTE: Pirate Mollie

[Titus]

Well who prevented us from lynching Elton and who will help you lynch Elton tomorrow?

[Titus]

@mollie, who did you want lynch d1 and d2, why did that not happen?

the pple who got lynched

this sucks because the only one of you i was sure on for scum was Elton.

there has no real discussion this game. I am unsure on elton but I feel pretty sure on titus. I have been crumbing my role like crazy. my only real strong town reads are cooldog and hebi.

since I have practically zero to work from, since you and gamma keep putting me in poe pile when I have zero reason to belong doesn't distill a lot of confidence. lynch titus if she flips scum then revisit elton tomorrow but look for potential partners and who steered any suspicion off of sleepy krew. I was townreading skrew but since titus replaced in she has done nothing to move the gamestate forward and she hasn't, this is scumtitus I wld bet a kidney on it.

sorry but I want to get my way for once

Yeah what?

Also when I FoSed you, you 180ed on me so fast...

that is not what happened, yu haven't fosed me all game except when I addressed you. so don't even.

you are not town. and I notice that you are not arguing with me.

It also does not change the total lack of town motivation of blocking all town but letting the nk go through.

I think I see where you are getting at!

hi titus

what about the second nk if nking was a factional ability and the factional abilities were not blocked? this makes a bit more sense from the pple who have been screaming that it is multiball or that there is an sk in play.

okay this is gonna be pretty controversial but guess what, I DON"T CARE

I think titus is on to something cos I swear I have seen an sk global block before and it might have even been a reck game or varsoona game (varsoona can you confirm this? it was the bloodbourne game).

venmar's play makes sense for an sk. an sk usually has a strong counterbalance to both town and scum roles. I am not sure how that wld match with a global roleblock being a negative utility for an sk, but venmar has to know he put all town actions back including protectives and investigatives. mebbe there is an additional piece, something he isn't telling us. plus I don't think i am buying his postruing anymore. cos is what he is doing - he is posturing.

I am gonna try to think this through, cos I am not sure that titus's role and venmar's can both be town not matter how different the roleblocks are.

there something hinky with this.

VOTE: venmar

Don't think I ever had a global roleblock, but I have had roleblocks that could block multiple players.

what do you think of the likelihood that I am on the right track? the only that doesn't make sense is the global block being a negative utility for an sk. but I think titus might be telling the truth about her role. it wld be lovely to lynch grp scum but ffs I am not okay with 2 town deaths a night and I have a hard time understanding why anybody else wld be okay with this.

VOTE: Molle

Let's sort each other baby doll.

Apparently my mollie vote was not counted...

VOTE: Mollie

I can tell you right now this will not end well for you.

I wld suggest you look elsewhere. I need to clear up something first tho

Are you town reading them?

I don't think scum!titus wld go after me in this way.

at least I don't think.

You thought I was town because of how I claimed against Venmar. I voted you to sort you because I was worried about you buddying me. You threatened me in response but still called me town. So no, your allegations that I only FoSed you because you spoke with me is incorrect.

[Titus]

GG.

Kinda obvious Mollie was scum but there just were not enough towns.

This is why groupthink is bad when scum get lynch after lynch.
