Open 736: Diffusion of Power - Game Over

[Music and Mail]

I mean, I don't really need time.

I just want everyone to hurry their asses up and lynch Carca so it can be tomorrow.

1- I am not lying about me being a N1 Doctor.

like, i was strongly not expecting to see this sentence.

My bluffs usually have more pros than cons. More to gain and less to lose. I agree I probably would have faked my night of action, but

only if I claimed after M&M/CMod

. Claiming a Doctor as a Cop is NO NO in this setup. It affects the balance and we have a 33% of having 6 Doctors and 4 Cops, which means faking a Doctor when you're a Cop guarantees we mislynch withing the claimed Doctors pool to oblivion.

To reiterate: I would never claim a "role" that I'm not in this setup, and I would not fake my night of action when I was the first person to claim.

My claim was done precisely with this in mind "if there's a N1 Cop they can claim and have me protect them". That was the idea rather than me blindly picking a target. I didn't even think beyond that point. It was a simple decision to make. N1 Doctor should claim to give a N1 Cop the chance to claim for protection and we thus are guaranteed a result at the start of D2.

[Almost50]

You know, sometimes I hate to explain the obvious. Did anyone (aside from probably skitter) ask themselves why I claimed on PAGE ONE?

Which reminds me: The post M&M quoted was the reaffirmation of my claim. My original claim came in post #8, and it may have looked like a casual jokey entrance, but to players such as skitter & BuJaber (and the trio of Creature/Gamma/N_M to a lesser degree) the message was clear: If you're N1 Cop say so and let me protect you. I got excited when skitter responded with her hypo-innos query, since I thought that was her signalling Cop and asking for confirmation. It turned out not to be the case, but no harm was done.

I understood exactly why you would have made the claim as town, it just didn't really sink in until I thought you were town.

[PenguinPower]

What's the Carca vote at?

[Music and Mail]

L-2

[PenguinPower]

VOTE: Carca

[Music and Mail]

jk it was L-1

ty for doing business

[Music and Mail]

(no it's actually L-1 but someone should remedy that

posthaste

)

[PenguinPower]

[Music and Mail]

That's not a penguin

[skitter30]

okay no im not going to listen to you anymore then that other person can get a train or something i dont care i will vote for you once i find that post that tells me how to vote again

have you ever played forum mafia before?

is english your first language?

==

i'm not really scumreading any of gamma/carca/a50

i don't see myself voting a50 at all today; i would probably vote gamma or carca over a no-lynch but i'm not really feeling any of those right now

==

No, so I can die anyway and A50 flails about how he thought scum would never kill me when there was a claimed doc on me and Skitter30 fakeclaims cop in his defense because she thinks her reads are the be all and end all and then town somehow manages to lose this from here.

do i really seem like the sort of person to fakeclaim cop or a result in a game like this?

==

people like skitter or mathdino or ruru or whoever you want to cite as an example think they're being original and creating a new avenue to beat me as scum when they refuse to listen to any of my reads and scumread me no matter what I do but I've been there and done that so many times with people doing that and it hasn't helped them that you'd think they'd get past it at some point.

i'm not ignoring your reads on the offchance that your scum and like bieng paranoid of you or whatever

i'm ignoring your reads because nearly everyone you've pushed today i believe to be town (me, implosion, a50, loosely gamma)

nor am i trying to pl you or whatever; in fact i'm strongly encouraging you getting conftowned tonight so that if you're town we'll all just know that's a thing and can move along with our existances

==

???

are you implying that the great PENGUIN POWER would claim scum as town?

I think not, heathen.

get yourself gone from my presence thou scumfuck.

No. When I flip town, never say you can read me again you egotistical fuckface.

REPLACE OUT

I'm not playing a game where everyone has a pair of underpants on their head

i feel like this is kinda townie tbh

i thought you were baiting the n1 kill; that you were more likely to be a doc than a cop; that you might be some other night than n1 but if that was the case you for whatever reason thought dying n1 was better than being alive on a later night (i don't know what that reason may be; i don't udnerstand what you do half the time)

i wasn't really expecting you to stick to your n1 doc claim either tbh

[PenguinPower]

That's not a penguin

It's the same thing.

It isn't actually a hammer.

[Creature]

I want to see what Carcalilly has to say.

[Almost50]

i thought you were baiting the n1 kill; that you were more likely to be a doc than a cop; that you might be some other night than n1 but if that was the case you for whatever reason thought dying n1 was better than being alive on a later night (i don't know what that reason may be; i don't udnerstand what you do half the time)

i wasn't really expecting you to stick to your n1 doc claim either tbh

LOL. I don't know what to say! The one person I thought fully understood what I was doing didn't.

1- Scum would rather shoot a Cop over a Doctor here. If I was trying to bait the NK then I should have (fake) claimed N1 Cop.

2- However, as I explained, faking your role isn't a good idea AT ALL in this setup. Even if I got shot based on my claim, my flip would give almost everyone (and especially scum) the chance to ridicule everything I said or did during that day.

OH, and.. Carca is a REALLY better vote than M&M
3- Faking my night of action would have only been a possible move by me if I claimed after someone else did. I can totally see me faking to protect that someone for the night (by making scum think they're protected anyway).

4- Being first to claim though eliminates that possibility. That's why I decided to claim that early.. to eliminate any doubts you/BuJ may have had on their minds if I claimed later. It was like "if skitter is a N1 Cop she would let me protect her, and she will know I wouldn't lie about it lest I get lynched myself on D2".

But OK.. I made a move that nobody understood at the time they were supposed to.. but no harm was done and we even benefited from it eventually. I now need to have a meeting with both Austin and Dredd to discuss if we should slightly change our methods based on the fact nobody understands us anymore.

[Music and Mail]

Reminder that Gamma is the #sole living question mark# in terms of my readslist and if there's a cop to get a result on them it would be amazing

[Creature]

Okay, Carca's and Gamma's votes are bad.

[Creature]

What do you think about skitter?

[Music and Mail]

i think that she's scum regardless of her role PM

[Carcalilly]

Gamma is the lynch today by the way.

No.

[Carcalilly]

You're scum, I'm not blaming you for anything besides your bad choice of alignment

You keep digging that hole deeper for yourself. You will be embarrassed when I flip, but I frankly want it to be the case to prove you can't read my play for shit.

Honestly both of you need to chill that page 41 conversation is going nowhere.
