Day One/Night One status:
Everybody was kung-fu fighting!
With blows as fast as--oh wait.
Wrong game.

[Vedith]

Why is it whenever I find a game I'm really interested in I get killed by Mafia...

[Vedith]

Also, hi TGP.
Sorry about the push, I thought there was a good chance of you flipping, and a NoLynch would have basically ruined day 2 for town imo.

I'm hoping town get more active this phase.

[Vedith]

It was really hard to get decent reads with a lot of quiet players.
Darkwing Duck, AP, and Moment I really like for town.
LabRat01 I feel should be town but something twists my gut.
Kokichi Oma and mcqueen I would have probably focused on day start.

After tgp's flip I am less certain how we are supposed to strategize here.

For the record, the mechanic was designed as to give town multiple ways they could utilize it. It was

designed

to be flexible. It was designed to be able to be used in multiple different strategies. I wanted the town to be clever, to find the most advantageous usages of it altogether, to be able to scumhunt utilizing it and to hone in on who the scum were with it.

I even built in emphasis on the no-lynch in the case of derp-gladiates specifically so that situations such as D1 wouldn't happen.

The setup is undeniably scumsided (and losing one of the town's strongest PRs, with a second PR having wasted their ability last night and a third having done something useless albeit not detrimental), but I was cautiously optimistic about this town being able to pull through. Am somewhat less certain now, obv, but at least we're not seeing six town dead by D2. (Which was possible, btw--lynch lovers D1, scum nightkill lovers N1, and then a specific role interaction could generate two more dead bodies.)

[Vedith]

The only way I can see the Dance master power being powerful is if 2 scum are paired and they have a scum PT.
But even then the argument isn't greatly valid and getting 2 scum to pair isn't the easiest thing to do.
Seeing what a town says to a town or a scum says to a town in theory is about the same.

The 6 dead by end of day 2 was my main worry when I thought people wanted to all pair up and lynch a pair day 1.

I'm so tempted to see the spoilers but I really want to keep track viewing. I'm sure I will crack soon enough.

[Vedith]

The less LabRat posts the more I want to say scum.
I assume the only reason I was killed was to get rid of a poster, not because of my reads and pushes.

[mastina]

LabRat is V/LA right now. Reason I had to warn them that if they were gone the entire day phase I'd need to replace them.

[Vedith]

Oh yeah, completely forgot that!

[Vedith]

I suspect the lovers PT is as quiet as game.
If no one is trying to advance the game, they should be pairing.

Leaving the day this long with no information and only 1 pair is huge for scum.

[mastina]

Actually, the lovers PTs are both incredibly active.

[Vedith]

Well that's probably a good thing then. Show's that there's at least 1 town out of them I guess.

[Vedith]

whyd this slow down so much ?

Because the 2 top posters of the game aren't currently in the game...
If town, instead of asking why, they should be pushing for things.

[Vedith]

Aronis lynch would be terrible for information.

[Vedith]

>tfw a dead person has second most posts and mod has sixth most posts

Even more so in a Blitz.

[mastina]

I'll do what I can to get in the swing of things

(This is a double pun off of how lynching someone is described--they swing--and also off of swing dancing, which IS a Ballroom-style dance.)

[Vedith]

That's pretty PUNny

Yay I'm getting friend to talk to \o/
