Survival Of The Fittest

There's a lot of different ways a vigilante can work, I think there'd be versions that just become VT if they hit non-scum instead of dying? Or maybe hitting bulletproof negates those. Honestly, it makes a lot more sense for a vig to be in this game than a serial killer (if there isn't a witch or some shit), if only by flavour.

Right now I believe Boogie's reasons check out. I'm not really overly worried about Cactus at the moment but I'm not giving him townpoints either.

But man, scum had to go straight for the new person? (At least I thought they were new...)

im gonna regret joining this game, but theres no way of revoking the contract i signed

Thoughts so far:

MW is pretty town if Poly is scum. Finding an excuse to townread your scumbuddy so transparently doesn't strike me as something scum!MW would do.

MeS is really very town to me. Yeah, scum can put up a cavalier facade since playing defensively tends to get you scumread, but to this extent? in the way that he's doing it? naw.

Suddenly, I have a rather bad feeling about MS and his new excitability.

You're being oddly transparent about things if you are scum, but this still reads as opportunistic dogpiling. Scumnull if MeS is town, hard town if MeS is scum.

At first I mean, role switching in this game is a distinct possibility, but unlikely if the game's gonna be more "not bastard" this time around.

Don't like this bit of speculation. If the game's not bastard, why do you think it's a 'distinct possibility?' Why bring it up?

So Methy is at L-2 now, I think. Not going to put my vote on him because I really don't see the point of quick lynching when we still have two days left. The only opposition I have to the vote is that I'm 99% sure he's not mafia and even if it's not losing much and it's just to get information I'm still hesitant to lynch someone I'm sure is not scum. If there really are no other ideas by the end then fine. Also his posts annoy me.

Don't like this if MeS is town. Sets things up to lynch MeS, but you still come out of it looking good because you were 'against' it.

I loosely agree with reads on Deamon being mildly sus.

I have more reads but I'm out of time for now. Think on your sins.

Alright, agreed on Boogie. Like, I honestly can't picture a reason why he'd lie about that? Maybe I'm not imaginative enough to do so. In that case, do we have two killy factions?

The big thing re: potential multiple scum factions, and to keep in mind, is that it means scum-hunting is not necessarily a town tell. Scum in a multiball game are free to enthusiastically hunt the other faction, which can leave notable blind spots or defenses of their own allies a more reliable thing to be on guard for. Of course, could still just be a vig, or an SK or whatever.

I'd love to hear from folks who advocated yesterday strongly one way or the other but haven't said much yet. With a new phase dawned, do you think we should carry on as before, or are new options becoming more appealing?

wow mw doesnt want my opinions im gonna blacken my soul gem now

You've already given quite a bit more than a bunch of people (plus promised more later--I am intrigued!)

I have caught up on the pages!

I'm still looking at Boogie with uncertainty as I still think that saying what their role is does kind of help town in a way but now scum can do away with him if they so pleased. Unless Boogie is lying, then I don't know what to think and I don't have any proof to back that up.

(Sorry if I'm still bad at reads, guys.)

Do you have reads on anyone else right now? Or just gut feelings?

Playing catchup now, but I generally agree with the points brought up e.g. boogie being truthful about being targeted unless he's playing a galaxy brain strat and the multiple killing factions being an almost certainty. Are we still going with the multiple mafia plus a vigilante/SK theory, or just two mafia or one mafia and one third party since if boogie was honest there would've been 2 killed had he not've been bulletproof?

I would like to hear Deamon's and Mimi's takes on things as they've both been fairly quiet both on the first day and haven't given their input after the first night yet.

No votes have been cast.

Approximately 4 days remain. 17 alive means 9 to lynch. What mistakes might you have made?

IRINA IVANOV: DECEASED.

(Bah. Oh well, someone had to die at some point, and really I'm not sure if my mafia skills are good enough to contribute that much, so perhaps it was good it was a vanilla townie like me and not some kinda power role that got dead-ed! Is the Afterlife thread coming along after I get another ghost buddy to talk to?)

crickets

when an entire day goes without discussion thats a mcfreaking bad sign, my megucas, especially when many people havent even posted this day phase

im occupied atm so i cant do mass reads but at everyone

okay for some godforsaken reason i thought today was friday for a moment so it hasnt quite been a full day but

still

Well, what’s there to do? Unless an investigator role managed to learn anything, we’re still at square one when it comes to information. The only play we could do right now is fire randomly and hope we hit scum.
