Micro 1040: Shirley, You Blitz!

[Galron]

In galron we trust

ugh

Buck up, troops. We've got us a situation. None of us wants to be here. Call it a quagmire, call it a predicament, call it a fine kettle of fish. There's no other way to look at it other than I'm a wiffle ball that doesn't know which way it wants to break. It's like that time I told Jesse I had made him beans and eggs for lunch that one day, and I had only made him beans. Hwasn't having any of it. So I ended up eating a lot of beans. So in conclusion, as you can see we've got to get some barrel rolls so the skee ball machine doesn't tip over.

[Galron]

Galron is jester
Ez

Don't put me at E-1

[Galron]

Ack!

There's no unvoting

[Galron]

What!!!! Ohs Noes.

[Galron]

Have a snake.

[Galron]

Schadd, can I ask you a question?

[Galron]

You were town last time this was run. Are you doing anything different this time?

[Galron]

Also do you know what I did with my paper towel?

[Galron]

Also do you know what I did with my paper towel?

i do not know this actually.

This is distressing.

[Galron]

I think voting for Not Mafia is a thing that has to be done? Or maybe an insane game needs additional insanity in order to reduce insanity?

[Galron]

And then bugspray will be here to illustrate the insanity?

[Galron]

something that hangs out in my mind is to doubt any reason to believe someone is a jester/not a jester

This was my takeaway from reading.

[Galron]

He's going to be the lamp in the corner that someone every so often says, "Does that work or not? We should just get rid of it." It may be a good idea to see when it blinks on and off what happens. Now if by the time the party's breaking up and the lamp is still there, and we're still wondering who killed Mr. Mustard, I guess the lamp would be nice to have.

[Galron]

So okay.

[Galron]

VOTE: Meg

Spoiler:

[Galron]

Prove me wrong.

[Galron]

A stopped clock in a jester blitz.

The humanity.

[Galron]

Heyo what up, too many pages for me to read, can someone give me a tl;dr of the game state?

-one of the heads

if you're a nontown you help yeet the IC. tomorrow there will be three townies so all nontowns can massclaim (on day 2) and then we form an anti town voting bloc and start doing a cycle of yeet jester -> nk townie -> yeet scum -> nk townie -> yeet jester -> nk townie -> yeet jester -> nk townie and then everyone except town loses

btw theres no reason NOT to openwolf

Bugs is the first not-town here trying to look like he's explicitly jester. I'm leaning towards scum trying to hide as jester there.

Why not vote them?

[Galron]

Wait for it...

[Galron]

RH9 we need some cohesion.

[Galron]

Galron: IC

Hmm...

[Galron]

87 hours to go

[Galron]

Meg scored well on the ACT

[Galron]

I might be able to get behind that. I think one of the straight posters is a jester and one of the clown posters is a wolf. And I'd put "at least" as a modifier for both.

[Galron]

There's a side of me that wants to see Not Mafia flipped and a side that doesn't.

[Galron]

Hilarious

[Galron]

Hilarious

[Galron]

It makes me happy to see people achieve their dreams

[for postgame] wait is this the first time you've been a jester & won ? if so you're welcome for getting the ball rolling

You have some pull. Can you get him some golden udders or something?

[Galron]

Spoiler:

[Galron]

I stopped reading at vanilla town and replied confirm vanilla town

And this is a lie because the role PM also requires you to confirm the voting rules explicitly

mod error occured

Alright, and did you also not read the game's description before signing up?

Because your elimination order suggestion also assumed the existence of nightkills, AND would have just led to a Jester victory, even without the kills

So you want jester!me to win?

if i get yeeted and scum wins i'm gonna blame it on mod error confirming me when i had not truly confirmed =[

Here is bugsy's reaction to being put at E-1, which was about 1.5 hours after it occurred. Agree they are not a jester.

[Galron]

Would you help to free me from this prison?

Fine.
VOTE: Not_Mafia

RH9 what did you hope to accomplish by putting N_M on E-1?

[Galron]

vla through 11 January

[Galron]

Would you help to free me from this prison?

Fine.
VOTE: Not_Mafia

RH9 what did you hope to accomplish by putting N_M on E-1?

To stop him from pestering me on voting.

You realize the premise of my question was false?

[Galron]

Indeed.

[Galron]

I wonder if N_M still thinks Meg and RH9.

[Galron]

VOTE: meg
radical rat

[Galron]

Actually

VOTE: schadd

That hammer came after not saying anything about bugsy

Also not liking schadds last post

[Galron]

That's fair. The thought just kinda occurred to me and I knee jerked voted. I should have said something first. You're probably right about that.

[Galron]

But really I'm not feeling all that optimistic. We seen to be in mad max mode and I don't really like it.

[Galron]

And no one voting.

I'm going to ask for another vote on Meg.

[Galron]

Lol

[Galron]

actually you can feel free to take this to mean that i think you're some other thing that's not town or mafia or jester. i wont stop you

OK. But I still think that RR and AtE is more likely to be Mafia than me.

You don't know your alignment then.

This has jester written all over it.

[Galron]

Blurghh.

[Galron]

I think I'm headed to voting schadd_ here.

[Galron]

schadd_ & RH9, what do you think of AtE?

[Galron]

I realize it's 4:30 AM for RH9, so I may not get an answer from him.

[Galron]

VOTE: radical rat
VOTE: AtE

[Galron]

The count will reset

[Galron]

We are in ELO and we need to discuss.

Still, I would prefer discussion.

So discuss.

[Galron]

I don't think Winnie is maf. I doubt we get a test out of him since he in Germany and it's the middle of the night

[Galron]

Galron, do you think that AtE (the player) is using AtE (Appeal to Emotion)? I'm getting the feeling that they are trying to do that.

That's exactly what is occurring

[Galron]

Hammer.

[Galron]

great! with that flip, two things happen:

• i get confirmed town! specifically, ate will flip mafia barring insane circumstances (pedit: pog). with that being true, if i were mafia, i would have chosen to hammer winfried when i got the chance to (759), because in that case winfried is either town or jester, and there's little reason to think he is jester. BUT THIS ISNT A GUARANTEE!!! in fact, there is this possibility that i'm mafia & i have some wild reason to think winfried is the jester, so i am instead trying to thread the needle and get two town executions. TO MITIGATE this outcome, i will argue to execute winfried (actually, i'll argue it because i think winfried isn't the jester, and allow me to elaborate)
  
• mafia gets sealed out of winning the game. if i'm confirmed town, and galron is confirmed town, there is no way to get parity with just one mafia.
  so our goal becomes to eliminate slots purely based on whether they have probability to be mafia compared to jester.
  that is what i'll be thinking and trying to talk about today. i believe winfried is the slot with the lowest chance of being jester -- galron, you said yourself that you don't think he's maf, and more than anything else i think that's a sign that he's not the jester (i believe he's most likely to be town, but this is one of those statistically unintuitive situations where we ignore the possibility of him being town because it's irrelevant). so we execute him first, which has the added benefit of confirming me town that last like 5% or whatever.

I agree that this confirms you not mafia, but I don't think you were ever at e-1, so I can't rule out jester. It would be a big balls play to open wolf and try to get two town lims out of this, which I don't put past you, but it's pretty remote so I'm not going to cloud myself with it.

[Galron]

Radical Rat wanting me to hammer Winnie smacks of maf.

[Galron]

If a member of the mafia is sent to Clown College, they may continue to post in the mafia PT.

Let's not forget this.

[Galron]

And good job with that hammer RH9. Thank you.

[Galron]

Well fuck, I've just been wrong on all my reads this game huh?

I do still think RH9 is Jester, and WINfried has the highest chance of being AtE's partner, so... Welcome to the Town I guess, schadd_?

VOTE: WINfried

I know it's early, but we're not in Elo anymore, and I really don't expect to change my mind on this one.

schadd_ doesn't this vote confirm radical rat as town?

[Galron]

Actual it confirms him as not jester

[Galron]

They, sorry. I think I've been getting schadds pronouns wrong too. Sorry about that

[Galron]

I think this game is over one way or another but I need to do something first. I'm claiming intent.

[Galron]

Jester's need the game not to end. That vote risks that occurring.

[Galron]

VOTE: winnie

No redactions

[Galron]

Great fun everyone

Thanks for the game, Jingle -- it was a blast

[Galron]

Wailing and gnashing of teeth.
