Open 776: Korina is a Cultist

[Homura]

^

I'm even more of a non-entity than Conspire. Korina never picks me N0.

[Auro]

Homura, if you're town I expect to see you aggressively cult-hunt.
Right now you just have that post and an Alyssa vote - even if there's good reason Korina wouldn't want to pick you, it's still a possibility he RNG'd and you're cult.

Fair enough? Will we be seeing more activity from you now?

[Homura]

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.

You make the assumption that Korina picked me on the basis of knowing I am a hard-lurk player before the start of the game. As an unknown, the only way Korina would know that would be if they analyzed my games, where I demonstrated a fair amount of activity as a player. Furthermore, now that you pointed it out and started my wagon, the chances of Korina picking me after D1 are microscopic.

This bleeds survivalist.

[Homura]

@Auro, yes, but please note that I am far less confident in games outside Newbie queue and that will show in my post activity.

[Conspire]

VOTE: Conspire i'm fine trying this. There's too little content coming from a hydra.

I've massively overgamed myself as always. I'll catchup and give thoughts tomorrow.

[Auro]

I understand and relate to the lack of confidence!
But feel free to throw out your thought process as much as possible (that post pinged me this way, I feel this, I feel that) even if you're not -confident- in those stances. Basically just treat this thread like a thought-dump.
That way, at minimum we'll know you're town Cool?

[Homura]

Very.

this is patently untrue.

I've mentioned before that the method of what Korina picks on n0 doesn't matter, only the result. The point I made about culting a hard-lurk player mostly extends to later days after the game has had a chance to form itself.

[Homura]

Which won't happen, now that you gave voice to it in the first place.

out of everybody else, my read on Korina matches most closely with Homura being the cultist.

I'd like you to elaborate on this.

[RCEnigma]

Homura do you think Alyssa is cult?

[Alyssa The Lamb]

the benefits don't magically go away now that it's known

They're largely diminished in exchange for high risk WIFOM.

Largely diminished how exactly

A slot that's hard to differentiate doesn't suddenly become less valuable to cult when town is aware of the value within it. It's only true when there's only one such slot in the game, which there isn't.

He's being interestingly precise for how much shit he's pushing out. This is more consistent with him trying to show discord among the more active members and giving his cultist more room to hide by reducing the relative activity of everybody.

[RCEnigma]

His cultist meaning? Korina?

[RCEnigma]

Homura do you think Alyssa is cult?

[Alyssa The Lamb]

Korina's cultist

Which furthers my win-condition as cult. I want the game to stall out. I want to dominate the thread. I want to prevent the town from discussing anything in the first place. There is an easy way to do that—just shitpost my heart out, but where’s the fun in that? So I seriously reply to some posts and shitpost in reply to others. I tend to reply to every post, and I very certainly will, but, when this game inevitably stalls due to me openwolfing, promise me you’ll think things through?

[Korina]

I’m free to do what all scum want to do in order to win the game, but normally can’t because of the fear of being lynched. I can’t be lynched. I have no fears of death. Sure, I can be afraid my cultists may die, or I’ll hit the anarchist, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

I had the same premise but different conclusion, but I'll wait a bit before saying anything about it.

didn't you have a scumcase on me auro
