Isn't that already one over what we expected in a game where multitasking is not a thing?-

No it just barely fits. Also the inventor shot could feasibly be multitasked with another role IMOIn post 6275, Hermit Crab wrote: Isn't that already one over what we expected in a game where multitasking is not a thing?-

I do not expect the dethy to get easier to resolve as the game goes on. Someone's playing a very convincing scum game, and I don't see a way it's going to be less painful to figure it out. Yeah it sucks if we get it wrong, but right now we have margin for error, and going outside potentially reduces that. Yeah it sucks if we get it wrong, but it's going to suck worse later.
I strongly oppose wagoning Gypyx. Both in terms of the mechanics and because I don't really think she's scum.super secret alt-

I generally don't actually do cheeky scumclaims because I'm paranoid about them being picked up on. No, genuinely speaking Dragons and marci would have to be playing the game of their lives here. I had some concerns about marci, but she keeps making posts that sound genuine to me.In post 6278, Dunnstral wrote:

Wow guys, I thought it was a given that the cop shots used last night were on 'calibration' targets so yes, I'll confirm that if I used it, it was a calibration shot. I did kinda make a point of having the desired targeting clarified in the game D2 y'know.
I like Sunflower even more now after seeing fireisredsir come up with some thoughts that I also had.-

It’s fine if you disagree with sunflower but we need SOMETHING to go on as to why to shift the wagon, js-

Oddskeeper is roughly poison doc, Dunn.
Groupscum Thief being incentivized to collect fruit is low likelihood if scum have a fruit vendor who gave to town.
Groupscum thief wanting to collect fruit is still low likelihood as claiming fruit is likely and it allows potentially dangerous levels of swing if multiple fruit go to the same person.
3p thief collecting fruit is reasonable, but I’ve seen no evidence of a malignant 3p and am willing to table that fear unless such evidence coalesces."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

I’m relegating thief to “likely scum redirector”/“potential hunter” status in the balance net. It’s likely that they are just here to fuck with our copsolving. I agree that they’re probably not directly town, but I think it very likely that the downside if they’re 3p is more along the lines of a guaranteed mislim than a sudden game loss, so they’re like lowest priority possible.In post 6271, Hermit Crab wrote: I think the wording of our fruits makes it obvious there is a way people can have their fruits taken, do you not see that bingle? And if it was a town way, someone would have said something by now. I can see your point about marci, I just find it incredibly unlikely."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

If the scumventor isn’t multitasking that’s a pretty big fuck you from the mod.In post 6276, Dunnstral wrote:

I’m trying to solve it but I know it isn’t our highest priority, clearing the dethy should be it first followed by the bookie.
Are you still adamant it’s marci?-

No. I scumread Marci/FB/pengy all about the same, which is about where I want to be to have a serious wagon on D1. I will sheep if you tell me a different neighbor is scum.In post 6290, Hermit Crab wrote: I’m trying to solve it but I know it isn’t our highest priority, clearing the dethy should be it first followed by the bookie.

She’s my absolute last pick of the bunch. I’m pretty heavily leaning sunflower from a PoE standpoint.
Is dann town? I have very little experience to go on with him.-

My “I will qh Marci” was personal annoyance at her making my phone play music unexpectedly in a room with my boss."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

The parts of the game both of us were active felt like the last game I limmed town Dann for being unimpressive, but ultimately I limmed him there.In post 6293, Hermit Crab wrote: She’s my absolute last pick of the bunch. I’m pretty heavily leaning sunflower from a PoE standpoint.

Be back in about 15, starting my second 8 hour shift of the day."He brings the cool and the muscle" -FakeGod

Ten four. I had to clarify with Marci because half the game has weird scumreads on her and while I realize she isn’t being the most helpful she’s not scum.-

i think if there's a 3p then they are an arsonist who can prime targets by giving them fruit but they can also steal the fruit that was passed out by the fruit vendors and redistribute them for additional charges and this is why the fruit vendors are compulsive
so the normal fruits aren't dangerous but if they steal them and then send them back out then they like poison them or something idk
this theory is brought to you by someone who has never designed a setup and has never tried to and thought about this for about 30 seconds
im very confident in this theory i think it's right actually

kind of
if you asked me at most points in the game i would have said no
there's been periods of fun like when peta replaced in. that was fun. generally i've felt pretty iced out of the game for basically no reason which is like kinda unpleasant
i think it feels better knowing that the majority of that was coming from town? i think it was less fun when i thought it was scum because then i felt like i should be able to push back and couldn't. and instead they're just wrong and i'm okay with that
i don't really enjoy the dethy as a mechanic and that's making things less fun, i think "lim through this hood" is one of the least interesting ways a game can play out in general
i've had a surprising amount of fun this phase despite expecting to die and also finding out the majority of our solving overnight was wrong
maybe it feels freeing or something idk
