Open 776: Korina is a Cultist

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

[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.

[Homura]

Very.

[Homura]

"Auro is lamist"

[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.

[Homura]

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

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

[Homura]

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.

I feel like we're on two different pages here. You said I'm hard to differentiate because I'm a lurker, which means Korina gains more value from culting me. But now that I've been wagoned and I'm in several players' lynchpools, Korina recruiting me later in the game is high risk, because I'm under scrutiny. My slot has already lost its value by engaging in this 1v1 with you.

[Homura]

Homura do you think Alyssa is cult?

Yes, I think she has higher cult equity and is pushing me to take the pressure off of her.

[Homura]

I don't know whether to be insulted or complimented by that.

[Homura]

I'll be insulted.

Why do you think I'm being coached, Auro?

[Homura]

Elaborate on the timing part?

[Homura]

How does cult gain from clearing you as a cult target in that case?

What does Alyssa gain by pushing you against conspire who is a stronger wagon with more weight behind it?

Isn't the whole point the fact that I

wasn't

cleared and that I'm the most likely cult target because I lurk?

[Homura]

My wagon was top wagon for several pages and Conspire wasn't being pushed at the time.

[Homura]

All good.

Who's your second topmost scumread?

[Homura]

Don't think Conspire is cult.

My gut's on here after the last few pages.

[Homura]

I do think there's some credit to that like I said earlier, and he'd have to think about someone who he actually thinks will survive 2-3 days in this game and even considering WIFOM that's not a totally safe bet. Still not really a clear though, more of a flat towntell than a clear.
But why are RCE/Suji lower? Are they just mostly null for you?

And Homura is scum via PoE

Am I to assume you don't have scumreads, then?

[Homura]

Yes

And your scumread of me outweighs the Korina-options towntell?

Why?

[Homura]

Kill: Korina

[Homura]

@Mod, can you delete all my posts from the game?

[Homura]

All 5 of them. Please and thank you.

[Homura]

Well, my Open game quota is fulfilled. Thanks for making it quick, Farkhan.

Time to never leave Newbie queue ever again.
