Open 796: Haunted Village Game Over

[MURDERCAT]

Hi Isis!

[MURDERCAT]

Let's town block again if you are town

[Exorcists]

Murdercat, have you ever faked a town-slip as scum before?

-Lance

Almost certainly

If you want my self meta about my scum game I am happy to provide it, but I am usually hesitant to because it is really wifomy and people are then unable to form their own unbiased conclusions.

It won't hurt to hear it. Shoot.

I don't really see how setup spec can help but I'm also not super stressed about people getting rolefished by it. I think it will just generally be more gamewinning to dayplay well.
This just kinda seems like a setup where the scum got to have lots of fun picking what roles they want to use but for everyone else it's just a normal queue game.

I played a Marvel flavored version of this game off-site and rolled cop and fucked up my investigation result crumbs to gamethrow, but mostly it just seemed like a Normal game to me (in a normal queue game crumbing too unclearly as cop is similarly bad!).

[Isis]

I like exorcists so far, I think they have an eagerness to progress through low information phase and past that's plus town.

[PlusJOYED]

so maf have rolecop, roleblocker and non consecutive strongman. thats 5 so we must have 8
I don't wanna speculate on prs this early but I have a suspicion of 1 existing due to the mafia picking a strongman
ahh people beat me to it

As town I hard commit to getting people elimed when I become confident they are scum. This usually involves detailed cases, hard pushes, and actively encouraging my town reads to vote with me. This might happen on D1, but is probably more likely to happen on D2.

I put in effort as scum, so long detailed posts are NAI. I can and have bussed, but I am usually hesitant to do so.

I think the biggest tell in my scum game is that I can't fake the level of enthusiasm I have for eliming scum that I have when town.

As town I will often do somewhat questionable things to provoke reads, which may get me miselimed. I do want to try to tone that back this game and just obv town from the start.

As you can tell I've been thinking a lot about my own meta because I just set up my wiki to include all my completed games the other day

[egotisi]

What does egoing the thread mean?

posting a post in a thread for the first time, making it show up in your egosearch ("view your posts"). neat stuff.

[Tayl0r Swift]

datisi, is GB scum?

[Isis]

Oh I thought that was a bugspray hydra, is bugs not anywhere in this game?

[Tayl0r Swift]

the real question is: who is hectic?

[Isis]

you're right tho

Is this arbitrary, or are you a believer in voting people who already have some votes in RVS?

[MURDERCAT]

Tayl0r I remember you saying that it took you a while to get going as scum in our last game together. Based on that, I read your early memeing as townie as, I feel like you would be a little more hesitant to post something like 11 as scum even though it's an obvious joke. (I certainly feel that way as scum). What do you think of that read?

You seem to be very self-aware of your meta. On one hand, I do like that you're willing to voluntarily offer it like this, since I'd guess it'd make you a little more uncomfortable as scum. However, this seems to be the first game where I assume you're trying to eliminate the usefulness of this meta, so I like it, but not as much.

Yeah there's also other reasons I'm changing things that I can't talk about due to site rules

Tayl0r made posts like that in our Noir game, at least one time, she said "should someone tell me what I should be thinking" after I had just explained that I thought only scum would say that

That was later in the game so if you think she would only do that midgame and not during the beginning you could go with that I guess. I think it's probably within her range to do it as both alignments though.

hmm i like where youre coming from, but its wrong. when i said it took me a while to get settled i just meant that i was fence-sitting to see which way the wind was blowing and all of a sudden town had moved on before i positioned myself. as town sometimes i can take a while to get invested and start getting reads too though. and i can definitely shitpost as either alignment.
