Rocky Horror Picture Show - players suck, game over

[MathBlade]

Hello!

[MathBlade]

Depends. If the cult-chats are always open, cutting the pause short doesn't have any effect apart from speeding things up. If the cult-chats, however, are 'pause-only', cutting the pause phase short shortens the time they have to plot. That would be good for town. Therefore, cutting the pause phase short is either neutral or good for town. It can't be bad for town.

But preventing an immunization by cutting the play phase short can be bad for town!

Haven’t read but this sounds decent based on the rules? How do I cut pause short?

[MathBlade]

I.. kinda... hate this game. At least one of my favorite players ever has replaced in, and will probably replace back out lol.
Mathblade can you do your setup spec magic and get us out of this mess?

Considering I have very limited cult game experience no.

And I am still reading the thread so setup spec with like no info in a cult game is like riiiiiiip.

You’re prob cult.

You probably don't. There are some roles that have the power of 'time warp' which can switch between play and pause. But if you don't have that power, you can only wait for play to resume like the rest of us.

Awww damn

[MathBlade]

At least, according to the voice

What are cults like TV show hosts or something?

[MathBlade]

I hereby designate mathblade as cult leader.

Clearly the slot was important enough to be replaced. Mod action analysis ftw

I hereby designate you as wrong. The rules specifically say that slots have to ask to be replaced.

More than likely the slot that’s being a lurksac longer than mine is the cult leader otherwise cult would have probably won.

Notice like no one died?

[MathBlade]

So what next? With no investigative results (nothing public anyway) and no lynches and the Vig out of shots.. do we have any sort of idea about what to do next (or more precisely whom to vote for the immunization)?

@Mathblade: Welcome and HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I wouldn’t mind the immunization

[MathBlade]

VOTE: Vecna

Don’t trust Lifth.

I just wish there was some way you could trust me. *sniff*

[MathBlade]

I lift 10 pounds everyday all day on my shoulders and chest bro.

VOTE: lift

[MathBlade]

And what can we do about it Almost50? It’s shit but blah. :/

[MathBlade]

So lovely....You're scum and I can't do shit about it......Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[MathBlade]

Prod dodge

If drealmerz doesn’t show a sign of life soon getting a list mod

[MathBlade]

actions have been resolved

thanks for your patience, not that you had a choice!

Actions resolved, but we are still in Pause?

I can see a chickadee culted. They talked today, but didn't mention results. Chick what did you do last night?

I don't get results when I chase someone. I forget who I chased (because it was so long ago) but I can go back through PMs and check if you wish.
I think I have one chase left.

Can you like not post when I replaced your slot?

That’d be awesome.

Jk I replaced CheekyTeeky I am insane nothing to see here

[MathBlade]

Lets start making a list of cult-people to look for correlations.

Mathblade
Vecna

For possible cult leaders if not then likely cult subjects

mutante

cult subject

I'm looking into a few others.

Keep lookin

Your eyes need a prescription

I am as neutral as they come

[MathBlade]

Mathblade, you havent gone into any long drawn-out arguments with anyone. Hence I also support the notion that thee areth cult.

Thoughts?

An argument is pointless.

I have thoughts on scum but what does it matter?

I could name both scum teams, then get recruited tomorrow and then it’s so

I can’t do a damn thing when I find scum so like it’s whatever.

Without actually lynching I am just waiting to get recruited so at least there is something to do.

[MathBlade]

So I just plan on lurking and prod dodging and selling my soul to the first cult brave enough to recruit me or just waiting for game to end in a neutral win. What else even is there?

[MathBlade]

This game is legit not mafia in anyway shape or form.

So I mean if anyone wants to have a conversation we could make it a GTKAS thread galore and just keep having people submit pause and play until this game is done but I have 0 influence over the ending and I make no claim of such.

[MathBlade]

So.. no flips .. no results .. no visible action .. and we're not even sure who is/isn't culted/immunized/already immune.

If anyone has any idea of what we should/shouldn't do at this point, please say your piece now. Thank you.
Also, if anyone has any results to share, don't be shy.

It’s extremely frustrating that there is 0 confirmation for anything. It’s like you’re almost playing blind.

This just isn’t mafia

I fucking campaign to get neutralized so hopefully the game ends and nope nada zilch

Instead I get labeled as scum which there isn’t. Neither of the cults targeted me either

So until people buck up and neutralize me it’s just gonna keep going

VOTE: MathBlade

[MathBlade]

@Saske: thanks for jumping in. Unfortunately this game had no prods or other way of enforcing participation, so it suffers heavily from lurking. And yes, we didn't get any cult leader so far, as far as we know.

@voting attempts: funny. One of the two scummiest players starts a train and the only player even more scummy than him jumps right on. No point in hiding that you are scum partners any more, huh, Math and Chick? Sorry, but I won't vote for any of you two.

But so that scum isn't the only faction with a going train, let's start a different one:

VOTE: Vaxkiller

He seems genuinely invested in the game, in spite of the slow pace. Of course scum can also genuinely try to find scum from the other team. But so far he seemed to me somewhat towny.

Are you trying to have the game go forever then?

What happens when everyone else is culted and/or immunized and it is just me left and then nope I must be culted so vote for the moderator?

Oh and shove it mutant. You’re obvScum with Lift.

VOTE: drealmerz7

#protestWagon

Who is with me?

[MathBlade]

Oh and shove it mutant. You’re obvScum with Lift.

Why are you so hostile over me accusing Chickadee?

I mean, we all know the answer, but I'd like you to entertain me.

I am hostile because scum control this game, I can do nothing about it, and when I try I am labeled scum.

Someone

finally

listens and they MUST be scum *rolls eyes*

Your “case” is pathetic.

I just want this “game” over with.

My case proves Chickadee is cult through logic and probability. If you disagree, point out any faults in the logic. I don’t see any. Hence, I conclude she is cult.

There is no case/probability as there is no foundation from which to make such claims.

I will reread your case tonight but when the playerbase doesn’t have any clues/motivation there is no way to say any given action is scummy except from associations and as soon as I post game comes alive saying I am scum?

People just don’t want active neutrals. It’s that simple.

[MathBlade]

Blah been busy. Will read later.

Words words words.

[MathBlade]

Prod dodge

[MathBlade]

24. MathBlade

Yes let’s help cult by doing that?

Been up way too many hours and see 0 reason for mass claim.

[MathBlade]

I feel like anyone that wanted to claim has probably claimed by now knowing that there are literally no risks to it. The only unclaimed PRs right now would be culted ones.

No no no no not how this works and you know it.

[MathBlade]

Someone should make a list of who is immunized and who isn’t. Then we immunize everyone not yet immunized so the game fucking ends.

[MathBlade]

I am literally VT in this game since my doc shots are used up. There is literally nothing for me to do.

I think that or bastard game is why no prod requirements.

Let’s just immunize everyone and if game continues lynch the mod and of game continues after that get a list mod:

[MathBlade]

Because it only helps cult

[MathBlade]

As town literally

powerless

My vote means nothing.

I can’t do anything at night.

I try to stop cult from winning and called cult.

The only thing I got left is to stop antitown bullshit.

[MathBlade]

Spoiler: All immunized

[MathBlade]

Honestly this feels whatever at this point.

I think we just go through the player list and immunize everyone and I wouldn’t be shocked if game still didn’t end. It just feels so bastard and no agency. Like I can’t literally do anything towards my wincon of neutrals winning except begging for immunization. But that is what a cult would say there is 0 control I have over my own fate. Thus not mafia.

[MathBlade]

VOTE: TheGoldenParadox[/b]

This game is still not mafia.

[MathBlade]

VOTE: TheGoldenParadox

This game is still not mafia.

[MathBlade]

Meh I quit caring when this wasn’t mafia and I had no agency.

Like a game with no prod limits and no ability to do anything is just bad.

[MathBlade]

Nah I was cult since my first post.

Just had nothing to do and no way to help mutant. So I just tried to make mutant look town.

If I was outed cult it really never mattered.

[MathBlade]

I hereby designate mathblade as cult leader.

Clearly the slot was important enough to be replaced. Mod action analysis ftw

I hereby designate you as wrong. The rules specifically say that slots have to ask to be replaced.

More than likely the slot that’s being a lurksac longer than mine is

the cult

leader otherwise cult would have probably won.

Notice like no one died?

No I was culted and claimed cult for lolz because no way to kill me.
The fact that he says the cult instead of a cult or one of the cults is a slip.

@math
I was like SOOOOO sure you were in a cult because of this and I was SOOOO wrong!

[MathBlade]

The funny thing is, I didn't realise Math replaced CheekyTeeky. So my posts accusing him of being cult with Chickadee were genuine

I just figured you were distancing and played along!
