Open 776: Korina is a Cultist

[Slaxx]

My role PM says I'm the Antichrist, what does that mean?

It means if you combine with Christ you make water and a pillar of salt

[Slaxx]

Alright I have solved the game already

Korina is the cultist

[Slaxx]

Youre just a hipster/early adopter

[Slaxx]

What are the perks of being in this cult, are there child sacrifices or isolation chambers or board game nights?

All of the above, and more. We have a monthly trip to somewhere nice as well. I believe this month's trip is to Hawaii.

Awesome, I can finally meet Tulsi Gabbard, my ultimate dream.

[Slaxx]

OR SHOULD I SAY CULTIMATE DREAM LOL

[Slaxx]

OR SHOULD I SAY CULTIMATE DREAM LOL

Hey, so, how would you like to be my second in command in my cult?

Be way better than what I do now, the gig economy is killer

[Slaxx]

See I don't have faith in the town so I am just sucking up to the cult leader

[Slaxx]

Auro is the anarchist

[Slaxx]

Auro is the anarchist

What makes you say that?

He claimed it. Auro never lies.

[Slaxx]

To be more clear i am not RVSing, i think the joke is not actually a joke.

The same thing happened in the previous cult game where blatant scum claimed CL d1

I want alyssa lynched

Will all the perks of joining my cult change your mind?

You should have known better and recruit me n0 if you wanted me in. You made the choice, i think alyssa makes sense as a n0 target.

I would have randomized it if I were the leader

Can't outguess dice

[Slaxx]

If you promise me a change in win-con, I can play to my future win-con.

Let me think about that deal, and consult my economic advisor. I'm not sure if the orange properties for a change in win-con, while playing to future one is a worthwhile investment.

Your economic advisor is probably drunk as shit by now, markets are spiraling downward at a rate not even I could spiral downward at.

Ngl, I didn't realize you were even in the game.

Auro is the anarchist

He claimed it. Auro never lies.

Wait, was Auro the one who claimed antichrist?

Yis

Why? As a CL your true enemy are your own guesses, and anarchist's guesses. Why wouldn't you recruit a player with a solid reputation in order to avoid him being the anarchist?

Because this exact thing would happen where people automatically push the strongest player

[Slaxx]

VOTE: Farkran

Dude is making a big-brained play and was actually recruited N1

Calling it

[Slaxx]

N0

Whatever

[Slaxx]

This game is about reading people. If your goal is to amass numbers, and you have a way to do so that is inherently unreadable, optimal strategy is to play that way.

[Slaxx]

The fun of mafia is in the social aspect! Night actions are overrated.

[Slaxx]

Cultist is Conspire.

7th name on the list.

Its always the 7th.

[Slaxx]

Then this is like super cult-sided, no?

Yes

I wouldn't count this towards my winrate

But I don't count any games towards my winrate because I suck

[Slaxx]

I would like to form something similar to a townbloc with Chemist, Slaxx and Auro
Pls /confirm your participation publically

PEdit: the initial gambit of 'lol I'm cultist' is more likely to happen if you are actually recruited N1 than if you aren't.

Mom told me dont trust strangers

[Slaxx]

At least one of Auro/Alyssa told the truth I think

~Esper

Why

[Slaxx]

Yeah I don't think the cultist or anarchist comes out asking for townbloc tbh

[Slaxx]

VOTE: Alyssa

[Slaxx]

Klick why do you still think Chemist is town or want them in the block?

[Slaxx]

I don't think Korina recruits Chemist N0
Auro's first post nearly made me spit out my coke
Drixx looked obvtown idk.

Drixx is my rap name

So, I think Korina said he was randomizing recruits...although I guess maybe he shouldn't be taken at his word.

[Slaxx]

I'm not comfortable with a town-block because I agree with Espe, Auro could be cultists....But I am fine with an anti-cult block.

[Slaxx]

Auro could be Anarchist

My brain is fried

[Slaxx]

I don't think you're either, I don't see where your play comes from either anti-town faction.

Actually, if I may, I would suggest replacing chemist with farkran.

[Slaxx]

Town: Farkan, Klich
Not Cultist: Auro
Not Anarchist: Alyssa


That's what I got so far

[Slaxx]

I don't see page 1 interactions of Alyssa coming from Anarchist

[Slaxx]

Not Cultist: Auro

How am I a "not cultist" read?

Korina's interactions with you didn't feel like he was trying to posture you one way or the other like they did with Alyssa and I

[Slaxx]

Wait. No, we must include Suji in the bloc too. Then let's get lynching!

Open to it. But why specifically?

[Slaxx]

Townblocks are literally just pro-town day cults

woah

[Slaxx]

Open to it. But why specifically?

Gut?

If Suji is fine with that I am too.

[Slaxx]

I think Drixx is the most obvtown player rn

Thanks, that doesn't happen much anymore. Something about getting older maybe.

So do we have to lynch or can we no-lynch?

[Slaxx]

Makes sense.

[Slaxx]

Then join us on the Ank wagon

I'm good, I think VOTE: Klick is cultist. Probably.

Try again

[Slaxx]

Why does cult try to form a town block right out the gate Day 1? That could have gone horribly wrong.

[Slaxx]

So what I've gotten from RCE's reads is Alyssa is town because I'm soft defending her and therefor vote Klick?

[Slaxx]

I honestly have no clue how you got me implying that out of that text but I've always said you know my motivations better than I do so guess I'll take you word for it.

[Slaxx]

There's no implication Alyssa was town.

I have literally never pushed for her as town. Just not anarchist.

[Slaxx]

who?

I was poking fun at RCE.

I think they are probably town for the entrance though, even if it was...off-base?

[Slaxx]

Starting to think Alyssa might be right on the cult still hasn't posted thing

[Slaxx]

Also, does she narrow down the lynchpool that much as cult this early? Its not a definitive statement, but I feel like if you are going for self-preservation you stay away from boxing yourself in like that.

[Slaxx]

People that are smarter than me. Is anarchist hunting antitown or no?

My understanding is its a free for all.

[Slaxx]

VOTE: Conspire

For the greater good.

[Slaxx]

VOTE: Homura

[Slaxx]

Oh god sifting through Korinas spam is going to test my ADD

[Slaxx]

Is like more from Horuma before day end

[Slaxx]

To the people voting Alyssa: she is narrowin her options down pretty far. Granted they are a lot of consensus reads, but even before that she was saying the cultist hadn’t posted when only a few people hadn’t.

Do you really think the cultist, who doesn’t care who gets lynched (mostly), is committing to that? I’m not as sure.

I think Conspire has played the most conservatively in considering keeping options open for lynches.

[Slaxx]

VOTE: Conspire

[Slaxx]

namely

there's two players that are this hard-lurk type player in this game, and those players are perfect to hide a cultist in since it's harder to accurately decipher which one is cult and which one isn't later on in the game.

We're likely to use our only mislynch today based on setup anyways, so using it to also remove that particular option from Korina's options is helpful to every non-cult alignment since NOW, with only one such person in the game, it's not a guessing game if the game suddenly only makes sense if one cult is having a notably weak showing in this game.

I kinda didn't want to talk about this in detail because I wanted to see how it plays out but I guess we can force it one way or the other.

So I was thinking about how viable it would be for cult recruits to be MORE likely lynch prospects since from a town perspective they are objectively bad recruit targets and therefore less cult equity.

But that is dependent on how the game is flowing and ultimately who ends up being the day 1 Lynch.

With that in mind im confident that the n0 was not in the upper bracket players [Auro, Ank] or the lower bracket players [idk who Korina would consider here] also it feels like pandering to put myself there but for posterity it would be me and a lurker.

N0 is likely middle of the pack that aren't high priority lynches but also aren't going to lead town of their own volition.

I don’t see the use in trying to outguess Korina. Each player can be analyzed from the perspective of survival vs hunting. To me, that’s leaving options open, not making definitive statements, and not inserting themselves in controversy. Out of the active players, that’s Conspire.

[Slaxx]

Which is, scum indicative but I dunno if that is the same as cult??

Not the same, but same enough.

Look at the language in conspires iso. Lots of “I thinks”, “probably” etc.

The only thing they seem confident on is that korina didn’t randomize, actually.

[Slaxx]

I feel pretty good about the vote. I’d like more from the lurkers, but out of active players Conspire is clearly (in my mind) highest equity for cult.

[Slaxx]

Conspire has posted but I dont know what about. Nothing has stuck so far.

Ding ding ding!

You don’t want to leave an impression if you’re trying to squeak through Day 1.



I agree that we need more from the lurkers. But in terms of active people in this moment, this is the way to go.
