MT 2219: The Battle of Calculasia - Endgame

[MathBlade]

I buy its explanation I think we do A50 today.

I think mostly it’s just lingering DGB paranoia because it’s DGB.

Since I can’t quantify or explain it so it’s probably just town.

To be fair Xlos I have been trying to die for a while now.

I do not follow what methodology scum are doing with the kills at all.

Voting History as of End of Day 4:

This tracks who voted whom each day. Each line is formatted like Player A (2): Player B (2) --> Player C (3) where Player A is the person voting, player A votes player B in post #2, and player A votes player C in post #3. The use of ==> instead of --> indicates that the vote was not changed from its current target. People indented four spaces instead of two are replacements for a slot.

Key: * = F-1 Vote; + = Hammer Vote, $ = Self-Vote, ^ = After Hammer Vote.

Night 4 begins:

The room is once more plunged into chaos as various voices battle against each other. An hour quickly passes, and the arguments reach a climax. Suddenly, Almost50 stands up and throws the book in his hands at one of you. Everyone stops what they were doing previously and focuses on Almost50.

"I've had it with this nonsense. No one needs me anyway. Everyone thinks I'm useless just because I don't always reach a definitive conclusion like the rest of you," he shouts. One of you yells in response, "Good riddance! I never cared for your 'inconclusive' nonsense. We want results, not maybies or possiblies." Almost50 retorts, "I bet you're one of those Intuitionists yourself! They surely don't see the value in being conservative with one's conclusions."

The earlier responder ignores Almost50's retorts and removes a book from their pocket. This time, they turn to page 161803. They quickly scan the page for Almost50's name and marks it out several times with a black marker. Almost50's body quickly starts to become indistinguishable with the background. After another few seconds, it fades completely and leaves behind an index card. Another amongst you grabs it and reads it aloud to the rest of you.

Almost50, the

Ratio Test

(effective role: Councillor of Calculasia Informed Neighbor), fades into obscurity Day 4.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome, Almost50, to Mini Theme {#}: Battle of Calculasia!
You are the

Ratio Test

!

The ratio test is just one of many tests involved in determining whether a particular infinite series converges or diverges. It involves looking at the ratio of successive terms in the series to determine the convergence of the series.

Abilities:

1.

Convergence Test

: You share a neighborhood with other players in the game. This information will be sent in a separate pm. You also know additional information about the setup. This information will be sent in a separate pm.
2. Effectively, you are an

Informed Neighbor

.
3. You win when all threats to the Council of Calculasia are eliminated and at least one Councillor is still alive.

Confirm by pm'ing me your alignment, flavor name, effective role, and any partners you may have.

Night 4 will end Saturday, July 17 10:00 PM EDT or in (expired on 2021-07-17 22:00:00).
Night actions are due at least fifteen minutes before then.

I am not offering fast night this night.
Since Galron did not get a chance to post, he will need to respond to the night start pm within (expired on 2021-07-16 23:12:32); failure to do so will result in a prod.

[Ircher]

Day 5 begins:

Once more, all of you take a fifteen minute break from the hunt. The room becomes very quiet. Everyone is on guard after what transpired during the last few breaks. At first, nothing happens. Then, you hear a loud crash. You turn to see where it came from, and everyone's eyes focus on Xlos. His chair is turned over, and Xlos himself is on the floor. Uncountably many holes puncture his body.

He tries to get up but fails. His life force soon expires, and his body explodes into a thousand tiny pieces that then disappear. All that is left behind is a small index card that one of you picks up and reads. They then relay the news to the rest of you.

Xlos,

Integration by Partial Fractions

(effective role: Vanilla Councillor of Calculasia), collapsed from a lack of rigor Night 4.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome, Xlos, to Mini Theme {#}: Battle of Calculasia!
You are

Integration by Partial Fractions

!

Unlike differentiation, finding antiderivatives analytically can be challenging, so there are a variety of tricks and techniques to find them. One of these is integration by partial fractions. It is used to find the antiderivative of rational functions (functions that are a quotient of polynomials) by decomposing the original into a sum of simpler functions.

Abilities:

1. You possess no special abilities other than your vote and your voice.
2. Effectively, you are a

Vanilla

.
3. You win when all threats to the Council of Calculasia are eliminated and at least one Councillor is still alive.

Confirm by pm'ing me your alignment, flavor name, effective role, and any partners you may have.

Damn day open is quiet y’all. Where is everyone?

A50 we are Gonna have words post game. Wtf was that self vote?

I am trying to figure out if like you thought Titus+DGB paranoia or if you were just pissed at the wagon?

Like you thought earlier it was me/Wheme/Xlos. I know I am town and Xlos is dead.

Like this game is …wtf?

[DrippingGoofball]

WTF was my reaction to being alive today.

[MathBlade]

WTF was my reaction to being alive today.

Assuming you’re town I think smart scum doesn’t kill you. That would make Xlos unlimmable and this is elo. Given Xlos was the kill they must have believed you weren’t a one shot.

Assuming you’re scum well…then scum killing you is dumb.

Like the Jake kill seems dumb.

How do we have smart and dumb scum?

I looked over the game and I am just confused.

[DrippingGoofball]

What about the other NKs?

[MathBlade]

I mean imho murdercat slipped PR like I said earlier so that would be a smart kill if my theory is right
T3 pretty much screamed “I am the fuckin” rolecop in his intro and then claimed flavor so….?

To me those are just like duh kills and aren’t player indicative. It makes me think scum weren’t suspected D1/D2 but that’s just gut.

Who do you think is scum?

[WhemeStar]

Hello I’m Betty dude me up I’m town bitches idk who to igor though p oh

[Galron]

A50 getting turbo launched was p dumb. Whenever I've run into a pissed off A50 it's because he's been right. Or at least he's ended up being right. That means dgb and Titus are town. Math and wheme are the team. Which makes sense
No way that hood was full town. Unless Ircher is just messing with us there's no way that 2 p hood both had the same role and alignment.

I'm never voting Titus or dgb.

Now i understand why wheme wasn't resolved first. Math was too busy running interference.

A50 told us wheme was scum.

I want to hear from Titus before I vote though.

[Titus]

I'm not voting Math unless it gets to 3p lylo.
I'm not inclined to vote DGB.

That leaves Wheme or Galron.

[Titus]

I haven't decided everything though.

[Galron]

WTF was my reaction to being alive today.

Exactly. It's just bad scum play. The one person who kept talking about a supposed vig was probably more afraid of that than you. I thought Math was tossing around vig just to create a muddle, but it looks to me like he probably actually believed it and thought it was xlos when with all the power that's been shown a vig would just break the game. Especially after you claimed multi shot.

It's not bad scum play. DGB gets no extra result tonight and keeping it alive means paranoia around it. It's lylo regardless. Meanwhile Xlos was never getting voted out today, even if it was lylo.

Like the Jake kill seems dumb.

How do we have smart and dumb scum?

I looked over the game and I am just confused.

Jake was likely killed because he was the biggest proponent of not eliminating A50.

[Titus]

Right now, I have my favorite vote as I have some reason to argue everyone else is town (no matter how flimsy). I want to watch and predict to see what my suspect does.

I have two theories. If we survive today and flip my main suspect, then tomorrow becomes a game of wifom of which sibling to kill.

A50 told us wheme was scum.

I want to hear from Titus before I vote though.

Wtf is this?
Uhm no. Almost50 gets angry when he doesn’t understand or not in control. Sometimes he is right sometimes not. He does blatant manipulation as scum.

The fact he asked Titus if she was scum and immediately self hammered makes me think A50 thought Titus was scum.

Like I keep running back to Titus+DGB by kills and play but that post is so bad and Xlos death means DGB likely town unless that kill was planned in advance.

Titus where is your VCA?

[MathBlade]

I'm not voting Math unless it gets to 3p lylo.
I'm not inclined to vote DGB.

That leaves Wheme or Galron.

This is an AND.

I am town. If you say you’re not voting me (which the only reason not to vote me is that I am town if you think I am scum you vote me). If you are “not inclined” to vote DGB means you’re townreading it.

If you don’t think it’s Wheme and Galron then you’re not actually positing anything useful and this is hot air or DGB is your buddy.

[Titus]

Titus where is your VCA?

The NKA is literally my VCA based on how the wagons unfolded. Before we flipped Toog, we had three dueling wagons which were all on town.

Jake was killed to ensure A50 got eliminated.
Xlos was killed because he got town to work together and was never getting eliminated.

I have a thought on why T3 was killed. It disagrees with yours, but I want to sit on it. I may sit on it until tomorrow game day but definitely for a day or two IRL.
