mystery box of silver 10. (done)

^You could argue this is scummy

[Nero Cain]

my vote for ban hydra or that I'm unvoting a guy @ L-2 when we still have 9 days left?

[mastina]

why do you need 5 real scumreads?

Because that'll be the number of scum in this game.

It's too large for four scum but too small for six scum. schadd_'s MBOS games are heavily vanilla, utterly ruling out six scum, but while they may be heavily vanilla, I don't see a world in which the setup is balanced with only four scum; there needs to be a fifth.

Thus, I need five real scumreads.

[mastina]

Which game was this? I can meta dive you if you want but I'd rather hear from you.

I honestly don't remember.

made me want to lynch him so....IT DID!

VOTE: Gamma

Sheeping my masonbuddy.

[mastina]

Gamma I’m finally gonna guillotine you like a year later, I’m excited

Pfffft

Both

[mastina]

Hey mastina, I was gonna vote Titus
Can you confirm once more your strong disagreement with this course of action

Absolutely.
If you voted Titus I wouldn't instavote you because you're enough of a troll to vote locktown reads of mine even as town.

But if there were a gladiate between you and Titus, I would lynch you 200% of the time here. I wouldn't be happy doing it because I believe you're town--but in a contest between the townitude of you and Titus, Titus wins by a landslide. She's never getting lynched as long as I live.

[mastina]

Okay my role is like, the worst imaginable that could be assigned to jjh927

Funny, my role is, like, the best imaginable that could be assigned to mastina.

[mastina]

When Mastina shows up at the same time as me I'll roleclaim and get to some serious discussion about which of the people who I've played with extensively decided to give me this role

Not gonna lie.

I think people are interpreting "themes of the series" to be "theme of this game specifically".
Wherein I think that's mistaken, that they're being too literal, and that schadd_ meant

across all ten MBOS games

.

I am of the belief that, no, not every role in this game was assigned by the scum to the town before roles were handed out.

that's ok as I don't really care about the opinions of scum.

Subject: mystery box of silver ten: titans of the votehouse LETSA GO

motifs of the series:

assignment of roles to town by mafia; heavy information to mafia; night actions being determined by events (e.g., two players are assigned to collaboratively use a doctor ability); normal roles or otherwise non-flashy roles; uncertain guilties vs. certain innocents; setup fake-outs; vanilla by any other name tastes just as sweet.

Like.

I don’t disagree with Mastina, I did not mean or rather no longer thought that all the power roles were assigned by scum when I went back to read it.

[jjh927]

Ooh this is well timed

[jjh927]

Anyway so I'm ascetic

[mastina]

plusjoyed is pinging me so hard

Yup, I see that.

Not convinced in PlusJoyed being scum, but if I had to make a D1 solve, it'd be in the realms of,
{PlusJoyed, Bell, Gamma}, plus two of {maybe-maybe-MAYBE-Taylor, possibly-NorwegianBoyEE, potentially-Morning Mage, potentially-Ban Hydras}.

In the latter group of four, if I had to guess: probably one from the former two, and one from the latter two.

I'd have to reread the interactions of everyone from DiamondSentinel and below in my last readslist, in regards to each other, to find and reform a more exact solve. (Because there's also the chance the do-nothingers of Christopher and DDL could be scum. Also, EchoVision is a scum candidate, but not on the same tier as Plus/Bell/Gamma are.)

I feel like if I put a little more time into those sorts of interactions I can get close to a more exact solve.

Not gonna lie tho--today I wasn't actually feeling up to posting, but I realized I needed to in order to stay up to date in the game so I'm actually too tired to do that more refined searching.

I do feel like I'm on the right track, seeing the right idea, just need to hone in and perfect it when more of my mind is available.

[jjh927]

Can we not end the day before the weekend please ty

[Bell]

Anyway so I'm ascetic

You were not being subtle about this.

[Bell]

Mastina why are you so bad at reading me if you’re town?

[Bell]

Also do you really think plusjoyed would come in and meta @me as a scum partner?

[jjh927]

Anyway so I'm ascetic

You were not being subtle about this.

I wasn't trying to be

[Bell]

I know. I’m just not sure if it was a good idea to do that. I know that aesthetic’s tend to be scumm but that town can be.
I don’t see a lot of reason for you to claim so early as scum though.

[Nero Cain]

I think I want to do SB or ban hydra today.

[jjh927]

It needs to be a day1 claim from me so people don't waste protectives

[Bell]

It needs to be a day1 claim from me so people don't waste protectives

makes sense.

[Bell]

As scum you wouldn’t gambit like this would you?
