House of the Dragon - Game Over!

[Firebringer]

i really don't think worrying about picking the towniest of towns is all that big of deal yall making it out to be.
just picking in random we are more likely to pick town. I am really not concerned with scum stealing the king position and feel people who are such as LLD are over inflating the risk of it happening.

Really feels like LLD just wants to be kingmaker.

[Thestatusquo]

I understand what you're saying Re: gl just don't think i agree with it.

[Firebringer]

i have a hard time imagining the scum chat is filled with conspiracies to get one of them elected.
if anything they will steer it to town they know will make the worst choices.

[Thestatusquo]

ugh am I really going to have to read all the stuff I thought was flavor text in the vote counts?

There's no way thats true because they haven't suggested me yet.

Ah, yes, the most dastardly deed of...

wanting the votes I want to happen to happen in a game about building trust and eliminating people you don't trust.

I'm sorry what was your point again, beyond the fact that I am, infact, playing mafia with the sake of trying to win?

[Firebringer]

like isn't that obvious? just based on the theme of the game. Its not about initially winning the crown its about maintaining it. the scum plan would obviously be give incompetents the crown so as to fracture the town and then pick up the pieces later and install one of their own maybe at the end once all the dust is settled.

Its pretty obviou game of thrones strat.

except ur pretending u don't want power and u directly pushing for it indirectly. Maybe don't pretend ur not after the power and influence in the game if ur actions directly contradict it.

Might make u more trustworthy if u just not pretend ur not seeking to control the game and just flat out say it.

And so the next layer of thought would be to be scum, take the crown and execute innocents while pretending you are, infact, good.

It's not that obvious on how you would play and having a town king is crucially important in this early stage.

im pretty sure my strat is the one scum takes 9/10. So yeah. I doubt ur high brain thought that installing one of their own so they take all the blame for killing townies is brilliant. its high risk little reward.

I am sure u would do it. But ur not most scum players.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Bruh, we're all seeking to control the game in some way. Never did I say I wasn't trying to solve the game and gather a townblock and get my views across.

If I wasn't I wouldn't be posting. That's the implicit fucking agreement of mafia, a game of manipulation and social power. People try to convince other people of their points. Period.

The fact you're pointing this out like it's some big dastardly secret or that it somehow contradicts my other positions (it doesn't, by the way) is so facile I cannot believe I have had to waste a SECOND POST EXPLAINING WHY IT'S WRONG.

[Firebringer]

actally you would probably kill one of ur own so as to throw peoples doubts on u aside.
But maybe even you would think town would see through this as paranoia eventually comes at u. Which again makes the most sense for why you don't want crown.

Actually either alignment u probably doesn't want crown. I don't know where my line of thinking is going with this.

Oh my god you're almost there. You almost got there just one more logical step to go to realize why this was a full logical loop of nothing.

[Thestatusquo]

I agree that LLD wants to control who gets the crown but does not want it herself, but I also kind of think thats how LLD would approach it as either alignment.

[Firebringer]

Ehhh will come back to this if my LLD read develops anymore for smoking gun. Don't trust her.
Think her push for control here is more scummy than she lets on with this whole "we all try to control the game" like fucking no duh. U are directly pushing for control of the whole game not just for a bit of influence. But shea is right, that probably not a smoking gun of anything.

[Thestatusquo]

1. Rhaenyra
2. Titus
3. PenguinPower
13. Dwlee99
14. Charloux
16. mastina
19. ProfessorDrapion
20. Bellaphant

I just read the whole thread and y'all barely register. Have you read? Who do you think should be king and why? Who shouldn't be and why?

Please play the game. Also I swear to god if I am subjected to mastina taking her patented strategy of "constantly catching up" and "responding to things that happened 5 days ago in giant wall posts" for the whole game I am going to throw a fucking temper tantrum. So please do not do that or I will do whatever is in my power to get you eliminated regardless of either of our alignments.

[Datisi]

firebringer, do you have anyone else you want to give the crown to currently?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I agree that LLD wants to control who gets the crown but does not want it herself, but I also kind of think thats how LLD would approach it as either alignment.

I mean, as I said, I will absolutely take the dayvig on Day 2 assuming scum let me live through night 1, and then promptly be shot by scum if I'm right or removed from power by death if I'm wrong. If people want to put me in that position, I'm always willing.

But yes, I prefer to be outside looking in, yeah.

[Firebringer]

firebringer, do you have anyone else you want to give the crown to currently?

i already said at the beginning. I am giving my vote to anyone who promises me warden of the south and master of coin. I am sticking on current vote for the THEME reasons. No one has promised me anything. Its very disappointing.

Its almost like none of yall know how politics works.

[Thestatusquo]

VOTE: GuiltyLion

I convinced myself.

[Thestatusquo]

I'm having a little bit of a hard time understanding the strong unowen town read from you LLD, but also I'm beginning to start getting paranoid of hitting the posting limit and not being able to spam later when its important so probably going to drop off for a bit but I'll be checking in if anyone desperately needs to talk with me.

[Firebringer]

since no one is directly campaigning and even though i would be a terrible king.
I will say if i am voted as King this is my council:

Me (King Firebringer first of his name)
Hand of the King - Thestatusquo
Master of Laws - Dannflor
Master of Ships - Lukewarm
Grand Maester - Datisi
Master of Coin - Andante
Lord Commander of the Kingsguard - Junkochan

I checked ops and it didn't even mention how many members are on the council. But it should have all those positions.

[Enchant]

Wow, you really prefer to give PR to scum, instead of me, just because i am Enchant.

Good luck with this strat.

[Enchant]

I declare that i vote for no one, ever.

That one awaits a Dannflor delve and response, sadly.

But... I get it? I'll be able speak on it soon enough.
