Oh DAMN PInt was the survivor? Nice job dude!

[Mathdino]

I'm so glad that so many of you who signed up for this game had the chance to read my personally written guide on How to Be Someone Else. A major thanks to northsidegal for allowing me to use this game as a platform to really help these players. After all, who would sign up to Be Someone Else if they didn't really want to Be Someone Else?

I'm a transparent flavour writer. As such, below are all of the sources I used to put together this guide.

Welcome, Porkens. You are

Adel

, aligned with the

Town

You tend to think "outside the box" or perhaps, more accurately, "outside the thread". Your efforts at coming up with unique ways to crumb and ways to communicate securely are part of the reason why cryptography is banned today.

Because of your efforts at private communication,

once per day you may add someone into a neighborhood with you.

In addition, while you are alive,

all private threads that would otherwise only be open during the night will remain open during the day.

Finally,

rules banning cryptography do not apply to you

– they still apply to everyone else, however.

You win when all threats to the town are eliminated.

you will kill the player who you targeted

The voices cry out endlessly, screaming from all directions and shouting over each other to be heard. With so many voices in your head, it's hard to even hear yourself think... or at least, it used to be. Where once there was noise, now there is emptiness: an emptiness that yearns to be filled.

This is your personal "hydra" thread. At any time you may

privately

contact anyone

not participating in the game

and ask them to join your hydra. They will receive access to your hydra thread, where you may discuss the game with them freely. Should you prefer, I will contact players myself on your behalf to request that they join.

Welcome, The Worlds Cutest. You are

Chara

Not Chara

, aligned with the

Town

.

You begin the game as

Chara

. As Chara you are generally obvious when town and have a history of not being mislynched, so

it will take one more vote than normal to lynch you.

Each night, however, you may choose to go from being

Chara

to being

Not Chara

. As Not Chara, people who come to kill you will still be looking for Chara,

so you will survive one nightkill attempt against you.

Once you have chosen to be Not Chara, you will remain that way for the rest of the game (you can't go back to being Chara, i.e. it will no longer take one more vote than normal to lynch you).

huh? i gave myself scum? well, as long as it's you playing and not me, i guess i could help you guys out a little bit. no "mod is mafia"-style business, but i might be able to make a few "errors" in your favor.

One time only you may have me "mix up" someone's night action target,

redirecting them to somewhere else for that night.

Additionally, one time only you may have me "forget" to resolve someone's night action,

preventing them from performing any actions that night.

Your neural net and scumhunting skills have already figured out who the scumteam are –

CheekyTeeky

and

Gamma Emerald

. The thing is, this game would be too simple if town just followed you, so you're siding with scum here.

If you're going to be helping scum, you might as make good use of your neural net and search for PR tells –

each night you may investigate a player to determine their role.

You will receive results in the form of that player's role PM.

Should the other members of the Mafia die, you will gain control of the factional nightkill.

My lynchpool right now is {Gamma, Cheeky, TWC, Wheme(policy), Pintu}
Gamma: I already explained my case.
Cheeky: Provides little in the way of game content, preferring to say things like "why are you guys so scummy" and then proceeds to have the biggest mislynch bait ever as her top townreads. I don't see that coming from this great of a town player, especially considering the difference between this and Gold Rush, although that may be normal newbie queue playstyle differences.
TWC and Pintu: Both perfectly good and capable players that are staying under the radar. I'm willing to partly excuse this as there could be multiple reasons for this absense.
Wheme: Provides none in the way of actual game content, trolling, which is NAI, but makes me want to PL him.

This lynchpool contained all 3 scum and the third party, and served as the actual lynch order for the game.

tfw you're Mathdino and you're the town MVP of a game that you didn't play

[RedFlavor]

GG
Read EA chat, it was pretty fun
I really liked to roles of the game
And also congrats tgp, that scumpool was really the order of lynches lol
Thats probably why he died n1

[RedFlavor]

I really wonder what RedFlavoe rolecard would be

[RedFlavor]

Thanks northsidegal, MathDino and Not_Mafia for hosting and thanks Creature for letting me be him (I did not ask though)

[Keychain]

I definitely never ended up reading this but the EldritchAbomination idea was pretty cool, and the rest of the roles too. Good work North and mod team, congrats town and survivor.

i forgot the link to the mod thread, it's there now.

speaking of which, shoutout to ellibereth for this:

i've read 0 posts in the game

but i think wheme chose me and got cop just because i think wheme chose me and i think they would make me a cop

I enjoyed being a voice in the head of a player in this game <3

Brilliant roles and fantastic flavour nsg & math.

while we're at it

Subject: Be Someone Else: Mod Thread

thats cuz FuzzyLogic still lives.

To those who are scumreading Fuzzylogic:

I have a bit of a flowchart for you.

DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH HIM?

Yes

-->

HOW MUCH EXPERIENCE?

*

Extensive

-->You and I need to have a talk, mate.
*

Limited

-->You need to describe it then.

No

-->

DO YOU WANT TO DO AN EXERCISE?

I have one in mind which can help you with Fuzzylogic's alignment, if you want.

I'm not sure how long back this stretches. How far back the absolute lack of wagons on Scumfuzzylogic goes. But the flowchart was first developed back in 2018, so even back then this trend existed. That item on the flowchart wasn't something added later; it existed from the get-go, from the onset, from the very first development of the flowchart.

Scumfuzzylogic doesn't get wagoned...

[mastina]

This was a game I was in!

[mastina]

Btw, shame on you.
You used a mastina quote and mastinaesque role for mastin2 instead of mastina.

I wanted wheme to win.
Though about calling him hard town in the pt but relented.

[Mathdino]

i'm extremely surprised that no one thought to just troll vaxkiller with terrible reads

[Ellibereth]

surprised it didn't happen organically kappa

[pinturicchio]

I had this meme made in case I got lynched/killed



Thank you NSG and Dino, it was a great flavor and a great experience!
