Open 880 - Mod PT

literal magic i tell ya

[Alianna]

At this rate, we might get to see an SK win.

[Alianna]

Merlyn has requested replacement and become a spectator.

[Alianna]

hmm now do we point it out anyways when someone claims a role from the 100+ series or would that just make us look more sus (like why do we know it)

Maybe just let people claim and once everyone claimed use it as a reason to townread ppl who claimed a role in the 100+ series if they're the cold and calculating type

Moderator Announcement

There was some confusion relating to a post I made in the Normal Idea Mafia thread.

Serial Killer Rolecop 3-Shot Commuter

---

I'm referring to 17, 36, and 39. I only intend to use the first 100 posts for this run.

I never made it explicit in the Setup Information post, so I will clarify now that this was an earlier plan that I did not end up following. This game's setup was rolled using the entire 150-post deck.
That's all.

Oh no, is this undue mod influence?

[Alianna]

I would hope it isn't. It shouldn't be, it's a semi-open so people

should

know what all the possible roles are.

[Alianna]

Oh no, are people seriously going to use the timing of mod announcements to try to determine people's alignments?

[Cook]

i ran into this issue before

generally wait before you make the moderator announcement?

[Alianna]

Yeah, might have been smarter to do that.
I'm not too worried about it. It's not a big thing anyway.

[Alianna]

Ughhhhhhh, I am kicking myself over that.
Can I tell people not to speculate on mod announcements or is it too late for that?

[Cook]

i guess?

[Alianna]

i guess?

Idk, I messaged S_S again.

[Alianna]

i was trying to come up with a way to stop scum from easily claiming by doing something like claiming your post number mod 5 but that only helps scum

If the idea here is forcing scum to commit to a fakeclaim out of the gate, it can be done quite trivially.

Like, everyone secretly chooses a random (200+N)-digits prime p and a random (500-N)-digits prime q and publicly posts pq. Retrieving p is unfeasible; 200 and 500 can be freely increased if we want more security.

Thou this may be cryptography, idk;

@mod?

It breaks my brain, therefore it's cryptography.

[Something_Smart]

That's literally textbook cryptography. As in, it'd probably be in a cryptography textbook.

Good to know.

"Intentionally playing differently than expected and thus knowingly drawing attention" would probably be a better way of phrasing what I've been doing. The intention isn't to draw attention, but it's obvious that it can happen.

What it means is that you clearly have a much too limited view of my play range and I'm bloody well pushing back at that. I have a very ill-defined scum meta because I can't bloody well roll scum yet here we are, trying to put me in a 'doesn't seem like town play therefore must be scum' box. Regardless of how accurate that assessment even is. Last game, I was more townread early when I was mostly fluff posting, and the more active and opinionated I got, the more scumread I was, particularly by Python here. So it's pretty wild for them to park on me an expect me to just somehow become towny. I have said quite a few times that trying to meta-read me is a bad idea. The only possibly valid way is to just assume that I'm town because that's just how it freaking goes with my games this year.

Relatable, I can't roll scum either.

[Cook]

yeah at this rate SK might lose to being focused by the town sooner than they expected

seems right

[Alianna]

Kinda wanna claim the Doctor 1-shot Combined Cop Doctor and call HEM town, it sounds like it'd be really funny

Town Doctor 1-shot Combined Cop Doctor

Each night, you may protect someone from a single kill ability.

Once in the game during night, you may protect someone from a single kill ability and learn if they are

Town

or

Not Town

.

Oh no...

[Alianna]

seems right

I'll start the day in a moment then.

Oh also meant to ask, how would the N2+ Activated IC work in this game- is it an anytime during the day action, or night action only? Can it be blocked if so?

Normal Activated IC is usable at any point during the day or night.
Whether it can be roleblocked is a good question, but I'm going to say no because it typically triggers instantly upon request.

I think this is correct?

[Alianna]

...this action resolution is going to be a nightmare.

gimme a bit i’ll draw a diagram
