Open 688: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: Alban
O-K

[RadiantCowbells]

nicely voted

[Vedith]

Also, I think Gamma should check anyone he wants tonight (excluding me).
If we pick his target, and he's not scum then scum are killing who he checked if they can't kill us.

[Gamma Emerald]

That's why I said what I said. We lynch Town, scum has to kill one of (Kelvin, Titus, Giga) to have a shot. We lynch scum, scum trying to guess my target means a suspect is gone. Might waste my power but it keeps them from killing a townier player.

[Kelvin Smith]

UNVOTE: alban

This should absolutely still be the lynch. I just want a few hours to discuss things more and don't want scum, overzealous town, or alban to quickhammer.

[Vedith]

Okay

[gigabyteTroubadour]

v/la until friday, phone broke and it'll be tough to catch up at a normal pace for me - across all games but only posting here

once i go out and get a train ticket i'll be back here. left off at page 139.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

zzzz back finally

[Gamma Emerald]

Hai giggles

[gigabyteTroubadour]

hey

so far the plan sounds good with vedith and kelvin

also alban's reads are still really off if he's doubling down on kelvin/rc scum

he's the kind of scum who does push really weird lynches so i could do that. still though if we're not getting a replacement for navy it might be better to lynch that slot and save the mod the trouble of getting a replace in and cop alban. either way i'm down

[gigabyteTroubadour]

We can play this type of game on that but you know I don't coast.

uhhhhh

you totally coasted the last diffusion of power :/

tbf that was more on the town than not (i was kind of bullied out of my scumread of you by trans (and myself mostly)) but still......

[RadiantCowbells]

I don't think that it's navy/titus but something to keep in mind there is that there are confirmed scum in the docs

and like I said Navy's play sort of resembled bussed!Navy from a previous game

so lynching Navy solves the 1 doc in the docs issue and allows Math/Titus to townblock the remainder of the game

And bussing Math let's you coast forver.

We can play this type of game on that but you know I don't coast.

Am I coasting now?

[gigabyteTroubadour]

yeah finished catching up

not moving my vote at this point because the game feels mechanical more than read-based now which is fine for me - alban or navy are both perfectly fine lynches and we have n4 prs planned out. cool cool.

basically pending a navy replacement.

{vedith}
{rc, kelvin}
{gamma, titus}
------------------- null
{alban, navy}

game feels basically solved here

[Kelvin Smith]

Well, I was able to conceive of scenarios where we could still lose, even if we lynch scum today, so I guess I won't go too deeply into that.

VOTE: alban

I'm very comfortable with the plans I've posted. Just to reiterate:

If Gamma claims Night 4 Cop and we lynch scum today

Titus on Vedith
Vedith on Gamma
Kelvin on Gamma
Gamma on anyone of his choosing (do not announce)

It's like this because the only way Vedith dies is if Titus is scum, so Vedith can't die without Titus revealing herself.

Gamma claims Night 4 Cop and we don't lynch scum today

Kelvin on Vedith
Vedith on Gamma
Titus on Gamma
Gamma on anyone of his choosing (do not announce)

It's like this because Vedith's life is too important here to leave in the hands of Titus. And if Vedith does die, you guys would know that I'm scum, which would be very valuable to the town. Also, Gamma dying would reveal that Titus is scum.

Feel free to hammer, giga.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

uh do we care about a navy replacement

[Kelvin Smith]

If I should die today, remember that it still might not be Navy, Titus is worth looking into, and don't just assume RC is town. I still think all three could be scum contenders, so don't get complacent.

[Kelvin Smith]

uh do we care about a navy replacement

I've PMed Almost50. He's been looking for one to no avail. We'll just have to keep waiting for now. If Gamma checks her, we'll know. Or if he finds scum elsewhere and alban flips scum, we'll still know.

[Titus]

Why don't we lynch Navy? Saves almost the hassle and reveals a lot.

VOTE: Navy

VOTE: Navy

After this post, I'm prepared to call Titus scum if alban flips scum.

VOTE: Navy

what does it tell us

What happened during day 2. Namely that it was probably your ego shouting down a scum lynch and you got lucky.

[Titus]

Or that you're scum hard bussing Math.

[Gamma Emerald]

You mean Day 3? Also I don't think you really have room to talk down to anyone rn.

[RadiantCowbells]

Namely that it was probably your ego shouting down a scum lynch and you got lucky.

Or

Or that you're scum hard bussing Math.

Okay so correct me if I'm wrong but you're saying that

1) if Navy is scum, I was egotistical and bad but somehow got lucky when I correctly lynched scum.
2) if Navy was town, I was hard bussing Math.
