BTXVI: Boons Ahoy! Spectator Thread

[Ranger]

if the kill had been up to me it would have been different

Wow!
You mean Theta Alpine wasn't calling the shots for the scumteam???

I wonder who brought that up on D2.

[Ranger]

i am a step or two away from being like ranger | mastina

You're one of the first, apparently.

People'll catch up eventually.

[Ranger]

Alchemist, myself, and OutWorldEr as a scum team did in fact sit and vote together almost all game once and nearly got a Mason faded.
But Ranger is correct that most scum do not vote together

Yeah, the exceptions prove the rule. I didn't say it never happens; I said it was very rare to happen, and I'm right.

[Ranger]

ranger is actually kind of correct

Wow the player who's been playing mafia for half her life knows how to identify what roles scum likely have?

What a shocker.

[Ranger]

Spoiler:

TL is not town ;)

Spoiler: believe it or not

I actually inferred as much. It was pretty obvious to me TL was likely a 3p, but I never brought it up because why would I? TL wasn't scum with Theta Alpine, I was hunting scum. Whatever 3p TL was didn't kill N1, so if not a serial killer and if not groupscum, it wasn't worth putting inthread, not even for bragging rights after.

[Ranger]

Because, in my mind, a 2-shot UB implies gaining two shots of the first deceased aligned PR.

In Normals, yes.
For a Boon game I figured, why not ham it up a bit? It wasn't a real role, why not have fun with the specifics?

[Ranger]

I obviously didn't disclose this publicly; I figured I was likely the only full VT in the game.

Wonder if that'll be right, too.

I opted out of being truthful because of when I was claiming. If I'm right, then

knowing what the setup is

after massclaim, I'd be arguably conftown. Since the town hasn't a clue what the setup is on D2 and massclaim wasn't going to happen, claiming truthfully wouldn't have cleared me at

that

stage.

Oh.
Thanks for telling me.

[Ranger]

My plan was to eliminate scum.
My backup plan was to not get eliminated D2, ideally without claiming my intended fakeclaim.
My backup backup plan was to not get eliminated D2, eliminate scum, and then after more of the setup was revealed, out myself as a VT, ideally baiting scum into a fakeclaim by them verifying an action I made up.

Can't say I didn't try!

[Theta Alpine]

i mean i was a vanilla goon
just also in a neighborhood for some reason

i would have claimed vanilla if i had been put to it
the choice for killing actually did end up being mine
it was just between two people as decided by my partners

Spoiler:

norwegian and firebringer were my choices though that should not be much of a surprise

i think i did good though

Spoiler:

not hammering frogs might end up paying out in the end after rangers flip

i am a good bit too cohesive to be plural though on that topic

[Boonskiies]

Good showing still.

Yeah, I generally use Neighborhoods as a function, not part of the role itself because I play a lot with the usage of Vanilla.

[Boonskiies]

As of right now, I think scum are in a good spot.

This is a town leaning setup if scum does nothing, but there’s been something that’s interesting that happened from scum that could either help them a lot or hurt them.

[Theta Alpine]

yeah
i think one of us was going to go down no matter what we did

hopefully the way i did it put my teammates in a good spot but we will see

Spoiler:

also realizing we could have maybe done a thing where we stopped our own kill aaaa

[Theta Alpine]

my teammates considering just trying to kill norwe again
or the idea i originally suggested night one

[Theta Alpine]

one thing is we kind of do have a strategy with our kills

Spoiler:

we did not want to kill in the widely townread players for uh
reasons
firebringer felt the safest of the more widely townread players and norwe was presumably a pretty safe shot but uh that turned out the way it did
though at this point norwe is practically confirmed town so they need to go anyways

[Boonskiies]

Welcome, Firebringer and TemporalLich.

[TemporalLich]

frick I managed to fail with an instant win button 3P

[TemporalLich]

and I thought I had the game set

and I didn't want to claim because blockers would be my ultimate weakness

[TemporalLich]

Spoiler: regarding my N1 actions

me calling klick confirmed town was partially because I targeted Enchant and Klick during N1 and didn't win, so that would either mean klick and enchant are co-aligned or the neighbor claim was fake

[Firebringer]

i died too soon

[TemporalLich]

Spoiler: part 2 of "regarding my N1 actions"

I was hoping putting Enchant and Klick at the top of both of my D2 lead rists would have been seen as a breadcrumb for my N1 actions once I flipped

I really didn't want to make an obvious crumb or fakeclaim "double visitor" or outright claim as I'd either get blocked or called scum despite being a 3P that needs to scumhunt

[TemporalLich]

but apparently I played my role incorrectly - my strategy was to act like Town but be EXTREMELY hesitant to claim as getting blocked means I lose the game

[WhemeStar]

Hi guys welcome

[Firebringer]

I was going to suspect firebringer today tbh but it seems like that will not be necessary.

mostly because I thought maybe he claims he sent something and didn't know what happened to it while actually sending the ascetic somethin and getting willboosted but seems like it wasn't that.

I thought Klick could probably be only mafia with TL but turns out he was just third party which makes kind of sense

so now I'm just ???????

ironic cause im looking at u 100% here

also hi wheme how did u enjoy the bunyip u stole

[WhemeStar]

I didn’t get to enjoy it I got shot
