Open 783: We Need a Fourth (Game over)

[A Fourth]

Don't worry, Klick. I'm here.

[A Fourth]

Welcome! Because of decreasing number of players willing to play open set-ups, MS decided to design highly advanced artificial intelligence, which is going to replace and surpass human players. It is me! I already prepared the best possible algorithm to break this poor set-up and i am 100% sure that we are going to win this game! Make sure to nominate me for Paragon after my glorious victory.

Nice to meet ya, Bot. What do you think of Not Known right now? Feel like OMGUSing him?

[A Fourth]

Good point... did you read the rules before voting, Not Known 15? Are you a newbie? It's okay if you're newbscum; I'll go easy on you.

[A Fourth]

Oh hey, it could be a conspiracy!

[A Fourth]

What is Not Known 15's most admirable trait, Klick?

[A Fourth]

To be clear, if the scumteam was me/A Fourth, the game would be over - TownBot would shoot NK15 and whoever joined the wagon second.

This gives you some town points, since town may not have realised this yet. I hadn't but I

probably

would've reread the mech before voting, I think.

Uh, hi.

CONSPIRACY

[A Fourth]

Good, the bot is scum.

How is that a good strat? You lose 33% of the time there from a town PoV.

[A Fourth]

I thought i'd seen your main at some point for some reason Tommy, but I looked and it's not outted. *shrug*

You should vote for Bot.

You should signal if you know with the secret code you established with Tommy years ago.

Why vote for the bot? He's been quiet so far but I get the feeling he's just getting his footing.

[A Fourth]

Not Known 15, what is Klick's most distasteful quality?

[A Fourth]

Alright.

Bot is getting lynched today. The question is whether I'm hammering, or AF is. I don't think it's a conspiracy.

Who do you think should go first, NK15?

Then this game is going to have a very anticlimactic, random ending, because I'm never voting Bot.

What changed your mind?

Are you cOnSpIrInG?

[A Fourth]

In order for me to ever place the second vote, I need to believe Klick and Not Known aren't both scum.

If the bot is scum with one of you two, then it doesn't matter. We shall see.

[A Fourth]

Not Known 15, what is Klick's most distasteful quality?

Don't be shy, 15.

[A Fourth]

LAMIST, eh? My favourite. What do you think you've done that makes you obvtown?

[A Fourth]

I can see you both as scum still. If you're both scum, your objective is to distance as much as possible and convince me this isn't a conspiracy. Going with contrasting plans doesn't mean you're unaligned.

[A Fourth]

I thought i'd seen your main at some point for some reason Tommy, but I looked and it's not outted. *shrug*

You should vote for Bot.

In fact, this is really bad. Were you going for a quick win here and then backpedalled when you saw I didn't play ball?

[A Fourth]

Huh, I think that actually works.

[A Fourth]

VOTE: Not Known

Okay, I see no reason not to do this. Come in with that HAMMER, Bot.

[A Fourth]

Funnily enough, if you and Not Known are mafia, the best you can get now is a draw. I'm hoping you didn't realise that lol

But most likely, the bot is flipping scum here since one of you probably would've figured that out.

[A Fourth]

So Not Known was bussing the bot lol, that's hilarious.
I wonder why he chose you, I would've had a significant amount of paranoia right now.

[A Fourth]

How's that? I don't think there's any way this game can end in a draw?

Well, if the bot is town and you two were scum, Not Known 15 would be lynched and reveal me as town. Then, the bot votes you and I decide between you two.

But even if you convince me to vote the bot, we would both die because the bot kills the first two voters. So with everyone dead, it's a draw.

[A Fourth]

Anyway, it should be obvious I didn't take the lose or draw route as scum.

VOTE: Bot

[A Fourth]

Trueee, there's so many potential loopholes to exploit here. The rules should be altered if we're doing a round 2, which I'm definitely down for btw.

[A Fourth]

Maybe we should get A Third in to really spice the game up.

[A Fourth]

Did you actually misinterpret the rule about the Bot shooting on D2? Or did you find that technically it could be interpreted that way and start playing it that way to see if it would stick?

Funny thing... I assumed it worked like you did too which is why I voted Not Known. Meanwhile, I forgot the mafia PT existed and only remembered after I hammered Not Known, which is when I brought up the draw thing straight after reading it and clarifying with Kerset. Kerset, feel free to release it btw.

[A Fourth]

Yep, should've gone for the 50%.

Well, I hope I'm the one being conspired against this time. I've missed that feeling.

[A Fourth]

I was ready to slam a hammer vote on AF

Ouch. Can't you place it gently instead of slamming it? Jeez

[A Fourth]

I'm ready for round 2.

[A Fourth]

Sounds legit to me.

Maybe it's an all town conspiracy this time.

[A Fourth]

You should react to that, Not Known. I'm pretty sure he's reaction testing you.

[A Fourth]

Klick, why do you feel so different this round?

[A Fourth]

Klick, why do you feel so different this round?

You two haven't been interesting enough yet.

If you feel like I'm scum, lynch me. I have a decent idea of what I'll do if I flip.

Really? Bit early for that.

Want to give me any hints?

[A Fourth]

You should react to that, Not Known. I'm pretty sure he's reaction testing you.

So what? Yes it could have been a reaction test to a reaction test. But doing that over and over again isn`t going to help.

Do you think I could be Klick's partner?

[A Fourth]

For one, I don't think it's a conspiracy. You don't read as scum with NK15.

Don't think there's been enough for you to think that. What's different from last round?

Tempted to hammer Klick.

[A Fourth]

How? Why is Klick town now?

cOnSpirAcY

[A Fourth]

I think it's Klick + Not Known/Bot

Unsure which of the latter two. You've done a decent job of distancing with that earlier reaction testing but this turn is eh.

[A Fourth]

Wow, you have so little faith in me lol

[A Fourth]

Yeah, fair enough. Well played, I'll take the carry.

Here's my case; I really doubt the Bot can top it:

Spoiler:

[A Fourth]

Thank you, I worked hard on it. gg!

VOTE: Bot

[A Fourth]

Mafia thread was a fantastic read. I love your confidence, Bot, but you need to relay a little more of that in-thread if you wanted to fool Klick. Nice try though.

Thanks a lot for modding, Kerset! It's an interesting little setup and I had fun.
