Open 842: Diffusion of Power [Postgame]

[Shirou]

NSG is probably not reading this at all but I really would have liked to see her read on me here

probably strong scum read but hm, who knows I guess.

I think only one person would correctly town read me here, maybe two?

[Tejate Raichu]

Alright. I'd still like to hear a bit from GL and actually especially Ceph since he hasn't spoken much today. I'll go ahead and declare non-specific intent to hammer either Shirou or Ceph.

I'm still leaning a little towards getting Shirou first, but if we're assuming GL town then order doesn't really matter.

[Shirou]

Honestly I think this game is already kinda over and from anyone's POV if GL is town we win and if GL is scum we lose, so...

is it bad that I would already like a hammer on Ceph? I know it's a pipe dream but uh, yeah kkkkk.

If I'm flipped today rather than Ceph because I can't keep my mouth shut and keep spouting scummy shit like this, do know that I would be leaning for Ceph tomorrow as well most likely.

p-edit: oh wow, seems like today may perhaps be our first quick day...

[Shirou]

The way that Ceph has been kinda shrugging off this game kinda reminds me of how he played on Jingle's large game where the setup was 2 micros by dividing the playerlist (forgot the name).

On hindsight, it also doesn't seem like anything similar to Baton Pass.

I feel like not only Ceph, but also NQ and redtea were kinda very demotivated from playing the game, and I don't think it's a coincidence...

Redtea may have been scum, but it's genuinely the first time in at least half a year that they played a scum game so non-energetically.

to be clear on Jingle's game he was scum and ended up replacing after increasingly talking less and less

On Baton Pass he kept posting and engaging.

Kinda a two-dimensional read since my experience with them is so small, but hm, yeah?

[Tejate Raichu]

Well, if Shirou is really okay with losing regardless of alignment if Ceph flips town... I guess we could just assume GL town and end this day. Shirou, you're prepared for the consequences of your own actions if the game doesn't end on my hammer?

[Tejate Raichu]

Also, could we all vote fast night if the game doesn't end? It kinda seems like we're approaching consensus on what to do, so turbolimming might just be the play.

[Shirou]

wait, wait, wait.

and what do you mean

my actions

exactly...?

I'm completely fine with losing, but to be clear, even though I'm partially responsible of course for losing the consensus trust you had on me by acting too emotionally to GL associating me with redtea back then, we wouldn't lose this game at all if either you or Ceph had followed what I said yesterday (checking either me or GL on a scum flip on NQ), if Ceph is town by any chance.

I'm completely fine with us losing if I'm wrong on Ceph, and if you're all fine with losing if you're wrong on me as well, feel free to hammer yes. That's the natural course of action this game would take even if we waited weeks. I know GL well enough to know that if he's scum, he's not gonna slip now that the game is almost practically won for him.

However...don't put the entire fault of losing this game on me if I'm wrong on Ceph okay? I don't think I would be the sole responsible for our loss here in that scenario, even if I had a part on it.

If by "consequence of my actions" you mean that I accept being turboeliminated tomorrow if we're wrong on Ceph, yes I do. I would be okay with that.

However if you mean that I should accept that if Ceph is town, us losing this game is all my fault, hm no? I don't accept that version of the history...

[Tejate Raichu]

That was a bit rash. If you're town, then yes I certainly had a part to play as well. Regardless, if you're fine with losing on a Ceph townflip, and you're okay with fast night, then I am okay with hammering right now.

[Tejate Raichu]

I'm willing to accept my own fault if we lose the game to GL scum.

[Shirou]

Oh, okay.

Ah, I'm getting a cold feeling in my stomach to be honest...scum claiming cop on D2 and clearing their own partner sounds kinda like a fantasy novel rather than what happens in an actual game usually but...

Hmm, I'm fine with it yes. Feel free to hammer. Liberate me from this game if I'm wrong *or* right on Ceph.

(Also yes, let's all vote for fast night here if the game doesn't end).

[Tejate Raichu]

Alright. I have this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach that's telling me GL might be scum, but here goes nothing.

UNVOTE: Shirou
VOTE: Cephrir

That should be hammer.

[Shirou]

Catboi, if we win today you need to post a really good chainsaw man fanart at the votecount you know...

it's like, a reward or something.

(you're free to post as well if it doesn't end though)

[Tejate Raichu]

If this isn't it, and I'm dead tomorrow... good luck everyone. Especially fua, I do not envy your position in that specific situation.

[GuiltyLion]

uhh well I'm town but I did ask for no hammer / want a chance to do the deep reread

I do think Shirou both goading the hammer but also acknowledging that he'd be fine losing to me doesn't really feel scum-indicative, so fingers crossed I guess

[Tejate Raichu]

Will you be voting fast night if it comes to that GL?

[GuiltyLion]

yeah, I voted it yesterday too

[catboi]

Vote Count 6.02

Cephrir (3):

Shirou, fua, Tejate Raichu

Not Voting (2):

With 5 alive, it took 3 to eliminate.

He was a...

Game thread unlocked for postgame discussion.

[Tejate Raichu]

All of the energy is leaving my body.

[RH9]

I spectated this game.
(Sorry GL and Tejate for wrongly SRing you in the Spectator PT.)

[Tejate Raichu]

I would have probably scumread me off of d2 play either. Looking back, it reminded me a lot of how I played town in the SH days. I believe I mentioned before but in SH's heyday, I actually used to be way better at scum than town. As scum I would pull off these crazy plays, direct bullets, and get people to trust me enough to elect me chancellor. Then as town, I would say the most incriminating shit feasible.

[RH9]

And well done Cephrir for making me think that you were Town and implosion was scum.
(And making me think that you weren't scum with numberQ.)

[Shirou]

Impressive town, you resisted miseliminating me for the rest of the game even though I messed up by getting too riled up about GL pushing me on D2.

kkkkkk

I can't believe I didn't die here at some point.

@NQ did you guys claim an inno on Ceph so that you were less likely to be investigated during the night?

To be honest, it was a smart move and you almost won, it's just unusual for scum to be so bold usually, even if being bold may be the best move.
