I'm running for leader so I am neither for or against. :/In post 9989, Creature wrote:Nero, are you against the bombing plan too?
but real talk:
I mean I certainly understand the risks
I guess my big fear is that the bombing is actually superhelpful b/c not only does eliminate a bunch of mislynch bait it also hits the scum in the POE ppol, if any. And that the fear mongering for Tor and Drixx are just scum thats trying to stop it b/c its their only defense?In post 9900, Nancy Drew 39 wrote:

Even if we went just old fashioned and lynched a playereach day scum are going to shoot exclusively from the town pooland I just feel like for this to work we'd need a significantly smaller POE pool and them blowing themselves up accomplishes that and gives the scum less ML bait.
I wish more had commented on this.Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm not sure who has what but the theory is still sound. If scum know why are lynching from the POE pool why would they shoot there? Of course, as you say the there are ppl in the town bloc with protection (not everyone though) Why did you feel the need to attempt to discredit this?

I asked you like a thousand posts ago or something absurd like that for SPECIFIC questions or people you wanted me to evaluate instead of a shotgun and you ignored it.
Not a good look Nero. Even less a good look when the game is over and you maintain your 100% rate of swearing I'm scum when I'm town.
I'm still trying to figure out what kind of inane thought process put you up for primary leader. I'll have to try just dropping a bunch of single line shit posts into games and see if that's a viable way to play.Get to know a Drixx - Recently Updated!-

Nice discredits. I shouldn't need to tell you what to do or how to play. If you are town then you scum hunt b/c it's your wincon. Of course, it's possible that you consider attacking all of Titus' attackers as scumhunting b/c that's all you've done and coast.In post 10005, Drixx wrote:

Speaking of discrediting ... what would you call your extremely selective memory on what I've done this game? I'm pretty sure I made several posts pointing out why Titus was scum. But you conveniently are forgetting those because you want people to believe I was trying to prevent her being lynched. Then there's the whole bomb plan which literally nobody was objecting to until I took the time to think about it and started posting that we should re-evaluate. Now we're not doing it.
But yeah ... go with I've just attacked "all" of Titu's attackers (an assertion which simply isn't demonstrable without bending yourself into a pretzel;) and otherwise coasted.
This is why I remembered playing with you while you didn't remember playing with me. You are universally fucking awful at this game, toxic towards people who so much as side eye you and completely irrational and impossible to actually play with.Get to know a Drixx - Recently Updated!-

(replace "Sando" with "very TRd person who doesn't have other things to do with their powers")
1) Give Sando Bomb N5
2) Drixx Doc's Sando N5 (it's a night only action I think?)
3) Sando bombs X on D6, we don't pre-announce this (bomb is anytime action correct?)
4) Echo shouldn't be able to happen since they have to submit it overnight and they don't know the target (echo is night only correct?)
5) If there was no kill N5 then decent chance Sando was target and we can decide whether to go through with plan or not
This minimises the risks while giving us a day-vig,.I think-

as scum won 5 games | lost 1 game | eliminated twice | dayvigged once | vigged once | survived once | perfect scum victory once

Have you considered the possibility of 2 vigs? You and another who would be Doc protected by Drixx but if the other vig candidate didn’t feel safe, you for sure at least, would be guaranteed a safe vigshot due to your being immune.In post 9963, Sakura Hana wrote:Ok so.
I'm scrapping the bombing plan.
I'll just give powers to people in the town bloc.
If ppl in PoE pool want to suicide killing someone, instead make a case for them being lynched.
I want tomorrow leadership now to be Nero/Tora.
Mostly while I trust Ausuka to be town, im not 100% sure she's into the mechanics side of the game yet, nor how much she has read, I would rather wait at least a day.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

I prefer Tora but unlike Nero, he still has his 1-shot bp, iirc? while Nero has no protection whatsoever.

Drixx, I’m assuming you’ve never played with Nos before lol. I’d bet my life savings - what little there is of it - that he wasIn post 9970, Drixx wrote:
Then I apparently didn't express myself in a way that you understand. The usual course for gameplay for me is to figure shit out and then dump it when I'm reasonably sure. If I draw a night kill prior to that, then I haven't done anything useful to advance wincon. So what, precisely, would be achieved by painting a gigantic ass target on myself?In post 9785, Nosferatu wrote:
this makes me want to self-harmIn post 9753, Drixx wrote:@Nero - I'd appreciate a concise and specific list after the game of what is "bad" and what is "scummy" and why. Bad needs fixing. Scummy to casual view I don't give a shit about. My job isn't to be the most obvious townie who ever towned and get myself night killed straightaway. Especially since I'm hilariously bad on day one. It's basically a signature of Drixx play that you are going to suspect me.
and by self-harm i mean bash my head into a wall repeatedly
There are several games that come to mind where I literally waited until I felt the time was right and then acted in such a way as to draw the night kill. Hell ... in Mafiaception I drew the kill twice because the first time didn't work. But even though they knew the first kill attempt failed, they went to the trouble of getting rid of me.
So umm ... you shouldn't self harm. Maybe try and find something of value in the play of others which is different than your own and add it to the toolbox. It's a game. The game has a wide spread of approaches and skillsets which can be used to play it.
But for real ... this is getting out of hand now. We've got people saying they will hurt/kill someone IRL over this game.And now we have someone saying they are contemplating permanent self harm. Can we dial that rhetoric back just a bit please?kidding**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.

I am pretty sure that I did state that you did eventually call Titus scum so if anyone is misrepping here it's you. Its also d5 and we lynched Titus on d3. Time to move on? Who is scum and why?

that's a smart plan, but there is the risk of echo. scum can echo you at night and dayvig town the next day whenever you trigger. remember echo is night only, but so is the bomb. the bomb can be "triggered" by day, but it's "activated" as a night action. so yeah I think the mechanics are fair, except scum does get to echo.In post 10012, Sando wrote:

This minimises the risks while giving us a day-vig,.I think
the workaround to all the problems we have is to only give powers to people we ultimately trust. that's a good idea btw, very different from the multiple sui bombs one because we're trusting what seems to be town (you) with it, instead of POE'd down people.-

Actually this is wrong, Bomb can be activated as a day action, and when you do that it just counts against your next night's superpower usage, so long as you're not negated or hit a negated target that shouldnt matter, Power Echo DOES NOT last into the next day phase like most of the other BS counters scum can have, so that might be viable.In post 10020, Toranaga wrote:that's a smart plan, but there is the risk of echo. scum can echo you at night and dayvig town the next day whenever you trigger. remember echo is night only, but so is the bomb. the bomb can be "triggered" by day, but it's "activated" as a night action. so yeah I think the mechanics are fair, except scum does get to echo.I bloom in spring?

You’re suggesting that self-detonation is a factional ability? How does this make any sense - let alone, “obvious”?In post 9973, Drixx wrote:Since the plan got scrapped, I point out the obvious:
1.) Scum get handed bomb(s)
2.) Scum either set a triggered action for day start or just camp the game until day start to set off a bomb on Sakura.
And that's just one of several problems.
Like ... Iwantto believe that the game is solved and we could just speed up the win with Sakura picking 3 and only 3 people and forcing them to take bomb and bomb a specific target. It would be as simple as making a list of 5 people and telling each of them whom to bomb if they are given one and telling them to do the bomb tonight to avoid shenanigans (doing it during the day is problematic for reasons I assume people figured out already?).
But even as much as I've been thinking about it and how scum might subvert it ... my brain keeps saying that I'm missing something.
@Sakura - We're running down on time. If we're not bombing, we need to be gameplanning leadership swap and power pooling.
Also, as long as we don’t no lynch, Sakura is immune from all killing abilities.**********We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it.
