[The Keeper]

I smell The Poop on you furtive.

lack of thought? Other than the fact I'm dead, the spiders and flies are working overtime.
Persistant agenda? You mean because you're the only other person who's actively here so I'm grilling you?

[The Keeper]

Meanwihle you're fencing so dang hard on it being me...

[The Keeper]

Malediction and Benediction are symmetrical in nature of factional abilities; Those include a conditional factional kill and a factional conditional publishing cop. They are both rather simple. Our kills only work on town not on each other. Our cop is published only if we get a negative result, if positive it is privately relayed to us. Our team used it N1 on Keeper opted not to use it N2 and used it N3 on Hugir (who at that point was obviously green to me anyway).

Confirmation, Diversion
Deviation

Affiliation, Captivation, Propagation.
One of us three plugs into that.

Affiliation would not, we can see the affiliation PM. Though it provides some confirmation. If you're coming at me tell me how I fit into the question?
Propagation, looking back at the PM... actually... hmmm...
Captivation would also fit from an alliteration perspective and alliteration is fun.


Confirmation - Check if your action was successful.
Propagation - Others confirm your action was successful.

Affiliation works with Affiliation to become affiliates. The only person who can confirm the action of affiliation is affiliation, I have no mirror that isn't town. We also lost the ability when we found each other.

Captivation can only be confirmed by the target, and they can keep quiet. But you get a PT with them.

Feysal your absence is notable, I wish for your input on my musings. Furtive for what its worth, your input too.

[furtiveglance]

Like I said before, your role being a scum one could fit the 'mod misdirection' we were warned about. I'm interested in what you think that notice was in reference to.

[furtiveglance]

I feel like this F3 is really difficult. I hope spec chat isn't yelling about how obvious it is

Which notice?

And yes it could, as could yours given what was claimed by you and executed.
Thing is I read between the lines and used my gut to determine the masonry, it doesn't confirm anyones alignment. Me and FL were never confirmed to each other and the thread was generally ignored.

Spec chat is yelling to give me the Game Over. I'd bet my Dollar on it.

Day 6

[Feysal]

Feysal your absence is notable, I wish for your input on my musings. Furtive for what its worth, your input too.

I am here and have read everything you have said, but I'm not sure where you are going with this. Talking about which role is most likely to be scum sounds like trying to outguess the mod, and that is a game I have little interest in playing.

My thoughts are that from a flavor perspective, your role and mine are neutral, while Captivation would have been more likely to be Benediction. What kind of evil power would be based on love? And there is also the balance angle to consider. 1-shot loverizer would be like having a vengeful kill, significantly stronger than checker.

[furtiveglance]

I'm gonna vote The Keeper then, I've had them as scum for a while. Sorry if this is a big throw

VOTE: The Keeper

[The Keeper]

VOTE: furtive

A cross vote it is, just as I'm getting around to grilling feysal

[furtiveglance]

You never know, we could both be town still and just be about to lose

[Feysal]

You never know, we could both be town still and just be about to lose.

Unfortunately, you are right. I see no reason to twist the knife, rather I should just end this.

VOTE: The Keeper

I have won games as scum before, but with the exception of one supremely embarrassing off-site game, I'd never survived as scum. After all these years, I suppose I should feel pride for the accomplishment, but I feel nothing. I'm just glad it is over.

I expect I'll have more to say later, but for now, I can say that almost everything I said was genuine, except when it came to my partner. Fortunately for me, ActionDan made it easy to look the other way. And I meant what I said about this game being confusing for town and scum alike. We had some wild theories in our PT while we were trying to figure out who Benediction was, and even what happened during the nights. Until Hugir confessed, I did not know what had happened on night 3, only that the roleblocker theory could not be correct, but I thought Hugir might have genuinely believed it.

The game had some wild twists and turns, and twice I came close to claiming scum. At one point I already thought all was lost, and I could do nothing to stop Hugir from winning - and then, as if by miracle, Furtive survived.

For now, I thank all for the game. If you have any questions, ask away. I have nothing left to hide.

[furtiveglance]

My bad (again)

The disciples of

, Feysal and ActionDan, are the victors!

You have (expired on 2023-05-15 07:25:00) to request any redactions before PTs are released.

[Enchant]

Don't worry i will blame Flavor Leaf

[Flavor Leaf]

Congrats.

@Abnegation - WE HAD IT WITH FEYSAL.

ActionDan did well at setting up the game and controlling it, though, so big props there.

Glad I died tbh.

[Flavor Leaf]

Don't worry i will blame Flavor Leaf

Eh, still better than giving up because I didn't like a night action that happened :shrug:

[Aisa]

Congratulations to Malediction!! I think it was well deserved. Thinking back on the game, it always felt like they were a little step ahead of town.

Shame the rain dance didn't work.

[Flavor Leaf]

ActionDan is a legend. Can't praise high enough at how good his scum play was.

Like, I came into this game seeing he was scum, and he worked the game, and got me to not only ease off of that scum read, but move me off of his partner Feysal, and we all faded Abnegation.

All while creating a permanent riff between Furt and Flavor.

Like, I knew it wasn't as strong as the game made it feel it was, but that's the strength of what ActionDan did.

That's just the stuff that was directly tied to me too.

[Enchant]

Don't worry i will blame Flavor Leaf

Eh, still better than giving up because I didn't like a night action that happened :shrug:

I don't understand this jab.

[ActionDan]

Ggwp!

Thanks all and especially GIF for being a good sport and gracious at the end.

Fun game, probably balanced but by nature of the roles very swingy any faction could be sunk quickly by nature of the roles. Imagine the chaos that could happen 2 kills a night and actual cop results flying around

Pedit: wow boonskies you're making me blush
