I feel like as town you tend to have a more flowy state where you push people for being scum without really being invested in it that I'm not seeing in your Sakura push, idk how to explain it

So what you’re saying is you regret spamming the thread to double the original length in the span of 8 hours?In post 643, Something Cool wrote:In post 632, Night Lights wrote:I think reducing the Day to "me, you, and Python arguing" and "people townreading Alianna" isn't fair and isn't true. There's been a lot more than that and it's only been 2 days into the game
Why has your opinion changed on ending the Day early? I'm not really buying the above as a legit reasonIn short, both Python and I feel like we're crowding the thread, and I personally feel drained by this day phase.
Maybe you are right and we are getting more content to read off of, I just feel frustrated with how the game is going, because it feels either it's going to be a boring town sweep, or a torturous slow trudge through the day phases.<Embrace The Void>

-PythonHmm. Ok. I'd have to check the town games you've played with me to see if this is a real thought you'd have but I'm feeling pretty lazy atm
I feel like I was somewhat unreasonable in F&I but I could be wrong. Do you have an opinion on this?
And the only thing I remember about FaI is us pushing Drew and Bulge for the most tinfoil pre-flip associatives on the planet

Also, I think Python and I are similar in that 90% of what we do as scum would be exactly we do as town. I have admired Python for being able to read me correctly as a whole when others consider me some 'weird unreadable enigma' lol.'dREW DID IT BETTER' - T-Bone

You seem pretty convinced that there should be a nightkill though, and having a protective in that case also has investigative power because blocking a kill on someone means they're clear. There would likely be some question still of whether there just wasn't a nightkill at all or it was blocked, depending on the timing, but it could still be decent info. Which seems a little unbalanced if there's nightkills. And how would there even be nightkills, when it's a fact there isn't a factional one and vig is apparently restricted to town only? Could there be some sort of two-part killing action that requires two jesters to both use their action in order to make a kill? Something along the lines of arsonist where a target is marked and killed later?In post 610, Something Cool wrote:

On the other hand, if there's no nightkills, why is there even nights when there can't reasonably be useful investigations either? Nights are basically about play and counter-play around the primary thing each faction uses to try to get an advantage- kills and investigations.
You and Dragon don't seem to be on the same page with this- you're talking like you expect 7/2 with nightkills. Dragon seems to have talked himself out of the idea that there's nightkills though, by his backtracking on the idea that voting a more null slot like Kitty early would be a good idea."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Black is more aggressively focused on her pushes as scum whereas she pushes in more places but less vigorously? Something like that?"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Jailkeeper would keep the nightkill ambiguity, and the specific wording is that Dark Jesters do not have a factional killIn post 662, Aureal wrote:

Actually hot take, if there's night actions but no nightkills is it worth it to no lim?

Okay fine, maybe you can have a townread after all.
Though I bet you'd be better at faking this than Snivy."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

what partthe JK's target played in the kill attempt: killer or target, it doesn't make it any more ambiguous whether there was a kill than a standard doc protect would be. I guess gating it where the enlightenment level is 1+ would fit, though."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Likewise, I suppose it wouldn't be completely out of the question for there to be an investigative that only works at level 2 (which should only happen when there's only one more town than jester I think?) because forcing a 1v1 isn't an autowin there."Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."

Forcing a 1v1 is always an autowin in 7/2 because you just make everyone vote outside of the 1v1 until you either win or hit 2/1 and just vote for the person not in the 1v1 and win from plurality rulesIn post 670, Aureal wrote: Likewise, I suppose it wouldn't be completely out of the question for there to be an investigative that only works at level 2 (which should only happen when there's only one more town than jester I think?) because forcing a 1v1 isn't an autowin there.

Actually a 1v1 is an autowin in 6/3 as well, as long as the setup can reach 2/1 LE 2+ a 1f1 wins the game

Okay yeah, I see what you meant about only being able to have two nightkills, so just being tied to the LE is inadequate.
Spoiler: a few examples
If this is how the game will play out, with us being forced into a situation where town only outnumber jesters by one regardless of how successful we are, does that counter-balance the difficulty of jesters needing to all be voted out? Hmmm"Yeah after a point it felt like Aureal was the only one talking sense despite being a goose so I just followed."
