Heroes Wanted! (Game Over)

Scum have daychat correct? Otherwise I'd say as a means of coded messages.

It's in the rules.... Scum indeed possess daytalk.

[123456789]

So my current TRs are FA, duckling and Sakura (who doesn't pick a mechanical fight with me as scum imo). I normally build a "Town list", a "not to be lynched today list", a "yeah ok you can lynch them list" and a "scum list". That said, are we coordinating the next leader openly? Cause while I think we should obviously go for as townie as possible in our leader list, there's some townies that I don't feel completely comfortable picking as leader (although still better choices than anyone not in townie list).

How exactly is it scum-motivated? Or rather, why are you jumping the gun here?

Oh so alisae is switching like the way ufo was in nintendo game

and probably is doing it to help scum

I don’t see how either of the given abilities help scum. They look likely help town more tbqh.

o

I don't understand FAs post, what was UFO doing in nintendo?

Oh, so you think Katsuki’s videos are coded messages? I hadn’t thought of that. Hmmmm . . . I don’t understand the nintendo reference either and what it has to do with Alsae.

It is really bad that you are deciding to go along with Sando's conspiracy theory here, and I think you are scum for it. Sando gets a pass because they asked the question about daytalk.

in nintendo switch mash, after I died n2 I became responsible for "switching" all the colours at night. there was red/blue, yellow/brown, black/white, etc. players actions would perform different abilities depending on what colour I chose at night. E.G. a role that, if white, peeks it's target and, if black, kills it.

I believe alisae has the power to either choose from a row of mod determined abilities every gameday, or craft their own in a way that can help scum. it's different from what I did in nintendo, but similar in the sense that both me and alisae need to achieve a wincon through manipulating the mechanics, without being "alive" in the sense of posting in thread etc.

Interesting theory, but why does Alisae pick a bulletproof option for scum? There isn't a vig currently, so scum don't need a bulletproof vest.

[123456789]

lol Finding secret messages in videos when scum is confirmed to have Day Chat and Katsuki's not scum.

What makes you think with such confidence that Katsuki isn't scum? I mean, he isn't guaranteed to be scum, not by a long-shot, but I'm not sure where this confidence in town!Katsuki comes from because they have barely posted anything.

[Nosferatu]

I'm definitely not repeating that day 1 again.

And so what im doing in this game was born.

Okay. So this, along with the "deliberately ignoring thing", ping me pretty hard. Normally, when someone looks at a post I made and chooses to ignore all of it except one part, they just do so without the snarky comment included. This generally results in them getting pushed more about the part they ignored by myself, and anyone else who was interested in the point(s) I raised.

I see deliberately calling out the fact that she ignored the rest of the post as an attempt to preempt said pushing. I was debating whether to ask if that bit of flavor in Sakuras post was characteristic of her posting style, or if it had a good chance of being preemptive scum deflection, but this last post seems to support my position . Here Sakura is again, preempting questioning about her reason for playing the way she is, by posting a link and a joke. She already said it was because of a game in the past, nobody asked for a link to the game or anything, but here she is ready to justify what she's doing before the conversation gets too deep into whether her behavior is anti-town or not.

I love that sakura is being pushed for this and find your reasoning extremely villagery from you, and I was villa reading your posting before anyway so this is cool. I don't know if I agree with this, though. I don't think sakura is necessarily doing what she is doing as an excuse to not work on the game, but rather because she is the kind of individualistic millennial generation type of player. I'm sure she'll start posting reads as the game progresses regardless of her rand.

I want to take a moment to just say I hate this post

there are other posts im commenting on while i read through

but i want to just pause for a minute and say that this post in particular just rustles my jimmies in a way that quite frankly unsettles me deeply.

[zMuffinMan]

i woke up this morning and thought

"well golly it would just make my day if ircher just took a whole page to ask headass questions"

and thank my stars that wish came true

what else did you expect to happen after he complained about the game growing too fast?

Interesting, how do they go about it do you think based on your game?

it's a different mechanic entirely. I believe alisae has to choose 2 powers from a row every gameday. she chose a protective ability today, for instance, which can be smart for the scum team so they get rid of this ability early to get their kills through in later gamedays when there are actual clears and scum needs to kill confirmed town.

Again, each member of the superhero team can choose what abiity they want. Scum can't influence another person on the superhero's team choice.

Pedit: How do I manage to get pedit'd TWICE while making this short post?

[123456789]

One is in Japanese (can anyone translate?) and involves a soldier

無敵のSoldier probably is a bulletproof crumb!?!

cupcake, are you crumbing bulletproof?

Everyone started vanilla, so why do you think Katsuki is crumbing bulletproof?

[123456789]

scum votes look dispersed and not coordinated in any way.

On the surface yes, but I struggle to believe scum played so suboptimally.

Scum can play as suboptimal as town can. Simply having more people helps, but with diminishing returns.

[123456789]

Hi sorry, I'll get to this, but I can say that I picked The Worst for leader because he's my bird buddy!

This is like the third time you have effectively prod-dodged this game. Please give some content.

[123456789]

that's fine. that's the point, actually...

for example...

pick two people (cerb and sando for example's sake, but put this to a public vote i guess)

if you have a town read on one of them, you vote inside those two names (no excuses - voting outside of these two names would explicitly mean you're not town reading either of them)

if you don't have a town read on one of them, you don't declare who you're voting for today, and this makes for a somewhat interesting scenario if a name outside of the two gets elected leader (because, really, it would have to be a co-ordinated effort)

or...

just force people to vote in those two names and claim it before the day ends so there's a roughly even split (e.g. 10ish people on each name), but this can be kinda iffy if theyre not both universal town reads (and i don't think i've seen someone that's actually a universal town read yet)

*shrug*

I feel like this strategy has some merits to it, but I'm not sure everyone (or even the majority of people) would necessarily follow this strategy.

[123456789]

in all honesty, i don't give a flying fuck about the leadership mechanic (it's cool and all, but it's a huge distraction in terms of signal:noise ratio in game) and i'll be playing this as though it's mountainous

i was just making a suggestion that made sense to me. i don't care whether or not it gets followed or what actually happens with it

i'm probably not going to be talking about mechanics anymore unless i spot something i think is egregious enough that it requires correction

Playing this as if it is mountainous is not to town's benefit; remember, scum have the advantage in mountainous, especially with 5 of them.

[123456789]

Every time Titus posts something with like 30 quotes in it my eyes roll a little further back into my skull

People scumreading muffin is pretty lul

Muffin scumreading me is pretty :<
I can kinda see 1-9 scum tho

Toranaga is probs town
Bbmolla too

And thus hs finally caught up

I don't really like this post.

You "kinda see" me as scum.... Why? In particular, why "kinda"? What makes you doubt your scumread on me or otherwise question it?

[Nosferatu]

FUCK my dude there is a multi quote button

seriously

[Kokichi Oma]

Hi Kokichi.

You have 11 posts.

Zero of them have any value.

Would you like to make any contributions to the game state?

I was on VLA. I'm back now. Who do you think is scum

[123456789]

People scumreading muffin is pretty lul

Por que?

Porque HS no sabe que el esta hablando sobre.

[Kokichi Oma]

Brass could be scum maybe

ISO me yo. The entirety of my meaningful thoughts on the game state are there! Titus and Toranaga and Sakura have all said things that me QQ, but nothing is particularly significant, like, not even significant enough for me to call any of them even scumreads.

Are you fully caught up with the game?

[Kokichi Oma]

Caught up enough. What do you think of brass

[Cerberus v666]

Caught up enough. What do you think of brass

I don't. None of their posts have actually attracted my attention in any way. Someone I will get around to ISOing, but currently very insignificant.

Yo, I'm not reading two pages of posts from one person, good luck to my replacement.

Votecount 1.6

Katsuki (2):

zMuffinMan, Gamma Emerald

Wtf? Why the hell is Muffin’s vote still on Katsuki after insisting he’s not scum. This makes no sense whatsoever.

that's really all you needed to quote

[Sando]

It is really bad that you are deciding to go along with Sando's conspiracy theory here, and I think you are scum for it. Sando gets a pass because they asked the question about daytalk.

If you want to insist that any theorising is scummy...you're gonna have a bad time. This is a complex game, people gonna theorise yo. Also I only "asked" to provide context, ie the fact that scum have daychat says it's not scum-scum communication. If you want to say it is scum-scum comms, you need to show why I'm wrong about daychat, since that's the basis for my theory.
