BTXVI: Boons Ahoy! Spectator Thread

[TemporalLich]

I'd say Kraken is loosely based on the Light Fairy alignment anyway

[Boonskiies]

Yeah, just been modifying the Hunter/Hunted mechanic for a bit. Trying to find solid Third parties that aren’t Survivor or SK

[Firebringer]

i don't get what there was to even rage about with what was going on

[Ranger]

gloating in the dead thread does nothing

I realize it can be difficult to differentiate between gloating and snarking.

If I come across as the former, my sincere apologies.

I've little care about accuracy.

I care quite a bit about snark. :P

[Ranger]

Ranger asked me real early on about the Universal Backup information ready to fake claim, and you know I can’t resist a good gambit.

Yeah, you inspired me. :P

[Ranger]

... Also. Mod post contains VT sample which atleast one player received.
Because me and Meuh have mentions of hoods at minimum, and there's no other VTs, it means Ranger was conftown as only receiver of pure VT role.
That's probably rubbing salt in wounds is it?

A bit, but not in the way you think.

I was well aware claiming VT would've cleared me,

if

we massclaimed.
I knew we wouldn't on D2.
I knew if pressure on me had been one day later, I'd be cleared, yet with it on D2, I had no way to convince everyone I was the lone VT.
I figured it out on my own, yet had no proof until today I was right. Yesterday nobody would've listened to an argument of "I'm the lone VT in the game, therefore I'm town". Today they would.
It's bitterness, and my coping mechanism is snark.

Spoiler: Prediction:

Flippy eliminated, flipping town.
Either Enchant killed or Mala killed.

If Enchant, then if Mala has no guilty, she gets eliminated, flipping town.
If not, then one of Norwee/Dragons instead, also flipping town.

Then, Firebringer or Norwee killed.
Small chance of Peregrine, if she wasn’t eliminated earlier.

Then in a 5p lylo, you have Drew, Klick, and Frogs all alive with scum's least-charismatic players remaining.

Peregrine, Malakittens, and Dragons fit.

The townie in Drew/Klick/Frogs gets paranoid, yet ultimately votes uncharismatic town.

Post-game, they're left wondering, "How did this happen???"

Was dumb, accidentally put Firebringer there instead of who I meant; fix'd.

[Boonskiies]

Gonna be a close game.

[Theta Alpine]

it is indeed going to be a close game

[Firebringer]

drew probably is scum so not upset with direction they are going even if its taking forever for consensus and most people seemed checked out

[Firebringer]

i feel like cephrir is playing too dumb with continuing to suspect norwee, like i don't think scum would try push this angle. Would know that basically norwee hsould be considered confirm town almost to a T.

So im going with dragons, norwee, enchant, Mala are 100% town

that leaves frogs, peregrine, drew, emperor and klick.

ive committed to one of klick/frogs and more so on frogs
Probably drew/frogs is my solve guess.

[Theta Alpine]

well one day left for people to decide
we will see what happens

[Boonskiies]

Game got juicy

[Theta Alpine]

lot of divided opinions yeah
i am not actually sure if people can come to enough of a consensus to elim properly

[Ranger]

I've just done a meta dive on Doctor Drew. My suspicion was correct, his town and scum games are completely night and day. As town he's very free and confident, significantly more sarcastic, comfortable, and has his filter off. He isn't afraid to upset.
His scum game is watered-down. On the whole he gives much more straightforward content. He projects the reads he wants to be seen by the thread before committing to them, giving a sort of trail to see his progression from. He isn't comfortable, he is much more reserved and tries to be friendlier.

It's funny how I agree with Klick's take on what Doctor Drew's meta is and yet I had a complete opposite read on Doctor Drew this game.

Doctor Drew's town/scumgames

are

completely night/day. As town he IS free/confident, more comfortable, and his filter is off, unafraid to be upset.

His scumgame

is

watered down, giving more straightforward content. He IS more reserved and tries to be friendlier.

I don't know how Klick correctly identified Doctor Drew's meta and came to the conclusion this is his towngame though, because I came to the conclusion his play this game's watered down, straightforward, trying to be friendly, lacking the unfiltered sarcasm.

[Theta Alpine]

preemptively welcoming flippy into the chat

[Emperor flippyNips]

Sup

[Boonskiies]

Yo

[Firebringer]

so im guessing scum plan is just to flip StD tomorrow for the win.

[Firebringer]

scum are either killing klick or norwee tonight i bet

[Ranger]

so im guessing scum plan is just to flip StD tomorrow for the win.

Apparently, only two groupscum alive so tomorrow's not lylo.

Still, you're certainly right about the plan to flip Dragons tomorrow.

[Ranger]

scum are either killing klick or norwee tonight i bet

Killing their allies?

Nahhh.

They're killing Enchant tonight.

So far, so good for this prediction.

So far it looks like

Spoiler: current course

Likely Enchant killed.

Could

be Norwee, but Enchant's more of a nuisance for the scum by not siding with them, whereas Norwee has been siding with them so far; I favor Enchant for this reason.

Tomorrow, Dragons eliminated, unless through some "miracle" a dark horse in the form of Malakittens/Norwee/Peregrine manifests. I'll assume Dragons.

Final night, Norwee killed, because he served his purpose.

The surviving two in Mala/Peregrine/Dragons are in lylo.

The town outside those two doesn't hard-pivot, votes wrong, scum win.

[Boonskiies]

Balance Talk.

Spoiler:

Like, no doubt about it, this was a town sided setup. I meant to make it slightly lean town sided, because I think that's a bit more balanced with how I try to create the 'gameplay' of the game. Somewhat like a Mechanical Puzzle that can be Socially Manipulated. Like to a cartoonish level, though. A traitor, in theory, would have been what made this a bit more even, but I didn't feel like going traitor, so scum just took a bit of a hit right there.

Scum are doing well considering, and I do think it's gonna go down to the finals with this one.
