Open 838 – ISITMAINAC [Endgame]

[Three]

Guess.

[Looker]

I don't know. Jacket gets a free win unless the Vig listens to scum - I don't know who the scum would be that would be able to stop Jacket's win if he's the one you're saying is scum. I'm confused.

[Looker]

"Jacket gets a free win unless the Vig listens to scum" = my interpretation of 947/948

[Scorpious]

Honestly I'm checking out unfortunately VOTE: jacket

If Three's right hooray, if not we can Speedrun this thing into the ground and move onto a game that doesn't devolve into shitflinging.

+1

Although I feel it’s too late.

[Nathann]

Well, that's unfortunate. Hope for the best, but I would lie if I said I have faith in the flip.

For the record, I did read the posts before deadline. And the conclusion I had come to was that Scorpious was not groupscum, because it took so much dragging to actually get ADSE's wagon over the line, with at least one groupscum already on Scorpious. And if Scorpious was really part of the gang, they wouldn't have even gotten to that point.

Like, I wasn't trying to tilt you, I was genuinely trying to look into your thoughts because we were coming to the opposite conclusions.

[Nathann]

This doesn't really make me feel better about Looker's slot, but I'm yet to read in detail everything he's posted. Though I doubt Looker and Three are aligned, so if Three flips red, there's that at least.

Kind of odd that Greeting wasn't posting at all from when Scorpious voted Three and incorrectly called out E-2 in 872, but he's there within an hour and a half of Looker accidentally hammering in 940. Should check Greeting's activity patters at some point to see if that is plausible.

[Greeting]

What’s more odd is that the host failed to post vote counts and two players (

Scorpious

and

Looker

) failed to count the votes properly. It is, of course, not their job to do so, but if I were the one to hammer someone, I would have been far more careful.

As for my activity, it is strongly dictated by my day. If I have a busy day at work, I will not check in at work, but past 5PM or in the evening. I often also read the thread on my way to work, but today I didn’t.

I regret my vote on

Three

. I guess that if I arrived there before the hammer, I would have pulled out. Still, I think their last play was very unhelpful for town and their snarky and aggressive reactions only made it worse.

[Greeting]

On a side note, this is also why I prefer the plurality mechanic to an absolute majority. Not only is it more exciting, but also, ironically enough more predictable because people care about the VC far more than with hammers.

[Scorpious]

I am so beyond confused.

Three (5) [HAMMER]: Jacket, Three, Greeting, Scorpious, Looker

Three has been hammered! The twilight timer already passed.

With the Salmon Handlers meeting notably emptier, discussion doesn't last all day. With some time to go, the gang decides

Three

is to leave. Calling on the powers of a local magician, a hole in the fabric of reality is opened and

Three

tossed into it. The hole promptly closes thereafter, leaving

Three

trapped...

...somewhere in the much more peaceful New Jersey.

Now look what you've done.

After a nice, relaxing Christmas, everyone returns to beating each other up over salmon.

Greeting

doesn't though – ended up in a ditch on the other side of town. How unfortunate.

Day Three begins!

headcount

(7): Scorpious, RH9, RCEnigma, Save The Dragons, Jacket, Looker, Nathann

With 7 alive it takes 4 to reach a decision.

With 6 dead the deadline is 132 hours, of which (expired on 2022-01-01 01:47:02) remain.

[Nathann]

I'm interested to see Nathann and STD flesh out their suspicions, but, again, kinda just got here and started playing.

Assuming you're asking about your slot - my early suspicions were that StrangeMatter is spending more energy making sure everyone thinks that they're sorting Save The Dragons rather than actually sorting him, or anyone for that matter. Then they basically disappeared, then you replaced in and continued that tradition, and

then

an accidental(?) hammer dropped and I decided to take a break over the Night phase.

RCEnigma, is massclaim a good idea here? Considering the shortened deadline, we should get to it if we're planning to.

[Jacket]

VOTE: Looker

Three sucks. Obnoxious player. Not dealing with them again.

[Nathann]

VOTE: Looker

Weren't you thinking the slot isn't scum? Is that for the hammer, or should I stop being lazy and actually read?

[Jacket]

VOTE: Looker

Weren't you thinking the slot isn't scum? Is that for the hammer, or should I stop being lazy and actually read?

I was changing m mind toward the end of yesterday seeing as he was providing almost nothing to the game, and the hammer sealed it.

At least there was only one death.

[RCEnigma]

RCEnigma, is massclaim a good idea here? Considering the shortened deadline, we should get to it if we're planning to.

Yes, it's MeLo so we lose on a miselim. I mean I'm kinda ready to lose this game already but if you want my input I'll give it.

We do not have a Vig but we do have at least 1 more pr for the town.

SK with roleblocker means we rolled T 1 or 3 times.

I also have a loose order I'd want claims in I think. But I see some merit in massclaiming by role and not by slot.

[RCEnigma]

I just wanna like elim jacket and if we lose we keep it moving.

But I'm out right now so I'll give some attention to the game maybe later tonight.

[RCEnigma]

It's 50/50 since std,looker,Scorpius,jacket contains 2 town but also both scum.

[Nathann]

The game isn't lost yet, so I don't think we should be calling it already. If you do have a claim order in mind, you should maybe tell us what it is? Like I said, slower game, shorter deadline, I don't wanna waste half the day on massclaiming.

It's 50/50 since std,looker,Scorpius,jacket contains 2 town but also both scum.

Both?

[RCEnigma]

Yes? Unless you're claiming scum here?

[RCEnigma]

Oh I forgot rh9 was a person in this game.

[Nathann]

Yes? Unless you're claiming scum here?

Math isn't my strong suit, but isn't 2 groupscum + 1 SK = 3 scum left?

[RCEnigma]

It's 2 scum and a third party. They aren't the same and aren't going about the game the same way. I can't feasibly remove you as possible SK but I can elim your slot as not!scum.
