Hey y'all! a lot of unexpected V/LA goings on on my end (or more accurately, I expected the V, but not the LA)

Intention to hammer, but unlike the rest of y'all who claimed they're getting killed in the night, I'm actually going to get killed in the night, so I want to get all the words out I can before doing so

Dangerous Experiment
Event
$7

Place your Radioactivity token on the Rats pile. For the rest of the game, when your Rats trash a card costing $2 or more, gain a Ratman from the Ratman pile.

Setup: Add Rats as an additional kingdom pile.

What is a Ratman???

Spiderman:Spiders::Ratman:Rats

Hi I'm here. The majority of my time has been catching up, followed by a bit of time spent trying to think of what I want to say

I had a very real reason that I'd still rather wait until it's finished to discuss


Haven't forgotten this.

The order was essentially in ascending order of confidence in what they *ought* to have been claiming, in an attempt to a. give those who had not said (what I thought of as) alignment indicative things as little time as possible to communicate with their partner before claiming something b. to lure my biggest scumread at the time, faust into a false sense of security in regards to how I viewed him, leading to him not thinking as carefully how he claimed. Cuzz was at the bottom with me as *surely*, my perfectly accurate method for deducing whether one was claiming VT or PR (now 1/3 I think?), pinged Cuzz as claiming VT, no doubt about it,
as emphasized in this post:

Yo big apologies for not bein' able to speak near the end of yesterday
My thought words would have been something along the lines of
"The datwsan lynch I'm..fine with, but I fear they may be town. Beyond their own actions, I find it extremely unlikely that, (still under the assumption that every claimed pr is "confirmed" town) there are no scum of [Lalight, Robz, Cuzz]. I think I'd prefer a lalight lynch, but I'm not sure how much I trust [iguana, faust]"
In retrospect, I should have contributed to pushing lalight, if for no other reason than "not 'probably town'"

[wrong things]
I guess that mathematically means I should give you a townread then?

I think I agree with you? Assuming I understand the things you're saying and you're saying what I'd like you to be

vote: PPS

@iguana, thoughts of a massclaim are reasonable, but what say you to faust's response?
in regards to this post:
hey really sorry I got really far behind on this game and am trying to catch up, but I really really do not see why faust is out of the gate immediately voting for two claimed PRs when we've had two mislynches and are in a not so great spot.

I never did get around to my planned full reread of faust but he has generally been rubbing me the wrong for much of the game. town!faust is a slick scumhunter and digs for evidence and builds cases on people and pushes them and I just do not see much of that this game. combined with the above it's time for a vote: faust

PPE: 1 and boy is it a doozy

I'm a VT.

Would be interested to hear the reasoning that led Ghacob to protect a claimed VT over a claimed PR.

wait, what? who should they have protected, pps?

Uh TWM was a pretty clear choice IMO

oh yeah, I'm being stupid. but there's like mad wifom with this stuff, and iguana has been so towny this game that it will completely shatter my world if he turns out not to be, so i don't think he would have been a bad choice either. not sure it's worth the surprise that faust is expressing.

Nah, I definitely misplayed.

My attempts at explanation why were trying to say that I was so busy worrying about PR/VT as a means of getting better odds at scumhunting, that I forgot about the reason to care about PRs in the first place, their Power

Now since I answered your question, you might return the favor.

For town!faust (who is clearly a PR, as none of their reasons to vote and argue @PPS make sense as a VT) to cooperate with pps in a lynch, you would have to think TWM is scummier than PPS.

Underestimation of PRs' power, mostly, specifically completely ignoring them in who to attempt to save, as that's what I've been doing*, and assuming mafia would do the same

Why in the world did you vote PPS at the beginning of yesterday!?
Because he was scummy.

Still is actually.

I... then why did you cooperate with them to lynch town yesterday?

PPE: 1

workin' on it.. don't really feel motivated to answer since you're "suddenly" one of the scummiest folk around

There are no Action cards that are considered "mine" (spare me the refreshing jokes). I buy a Gold. Later that same turn, there are still no Action cards that are "mine". I play the Gold that I bought. What happened in between?
Under these same conditions, do the reverse. That is:

Buy Villa, Ambassador, Inheritance, turning estates into smithies

I...that certainly could involve playing a Gold? And does not involve any of the other parts of the puzzle..?

The next time you play a Doom card this turn, each other player gets the next Hex down as well.

Not a doom card itself!

I mean, there are other problems with this card. Leprechaun and Cursed Village are Doom cards but don't give your opponents Hexes. And there's the price. You don't have to think that hard before posting ideas in this thread.

The Doom subtype means "during setup, bring the Hex pile"

Most interestingly, the card works despite attempting to give out Hexes as a non-Doom card because it's a non-Doom card. It only does something if another card in the Kingdom is responsible for Hexes being there.

There's some interesting (good? probably) space in a card that gives more and more Hexes the more and more you play it, but that's certainly not this card, and name of thread and all that, yes yes.

Issue: If getting the log fails (in this case, because I don't own the expansions that were in the game), it will immediately concede your next game.

Someone rename this thread:  "The Necro Wars".  Then everyone immediately shut up and let the games begin.  See you in 2 years.

I shall reclaim my title.

pacovf, you joked about doing it.

I actually did.

Man, imagine if I had actually noted it down on my calendar, then missed posting on the thread long enough that someone else managed to ninja me. That would be stupid.

And before you ask, the obvious reason to read me as town is that no scum would play this poorly  ;D

For clarification, my intention was
6. Cuzz
7. Ghacob

and
6. Ghacob
7. Cuzz

were equally acceptable to me
I would ask why but you carefully said you didn't have a real reason in the first place so bleh.
I had a very real reason that I'd still rather wait until it's finished to discuss

I don't like most of your words but they mostly don't mean anything anyway
discussion of the "massclaim" I'm still waiting for after the completion of
what in the world...most of my words don't mean anything. Care to elaborate, my words about you being scummy or my words about the claims being a bad idea. Because I think I'm pretty clear in my reasoning for both and you could easily try to convince me I'm wrong instead of just not addressing anything and being rolefishy/pushy.
You said so many things of little substance that I was convinced that your goal was to annoy me and provoke a response over anything else.

Moreover I am still not sure why on just ghacob's request we have begun massclaiming in an order he didn't even put himself on it.

Robz - VT
Lalight - VT
guana - VT
Mcmc - not claimed
Faust - not claimed
Ghacob - not claimed

TWM - targetable pr
PPS - cop
Galz - even night watcher
Space - one shot cop

Iguana's claim lets scum know for sure he isn't a pr which sucks, it ruins what iguana tried to do and like I said before we got nothing from it. Iguana I think is likely town but I thought that before the claim. If me Faust or Ghacob claim a pr what in the world does that really do for POE. I hate that we have done this for the record.
misinterpreting my post, admonishing me for not putting myself and cuzz on the list, proceeds to not put cuzz on your list

Ghacob has 13 posts. Why is he being townread by others?
Using post count to start a scumread is...innefective. Post count isn't alignment indicative in general and forms a poor argument, but especially a. for me, because I have a tendency to make long posts like this one over 10 smaller posts b. because you isolated me from Teproc as if in an attempt to make my post count feel even smaller to start off with

I think the only thing I know at this point is that Ghacob is town.
WHhy?
Making a point to question both people who read me as town, pretending(?) to not know an obvious reason to think I'm towny

Okay so its really just robz and twm claiming ghacob as super town which is actually nice because I think it is highly unlikely Ghacob, TWM, and Robz could possibly be the scum team and they are all people I find relative levels of scummy.
You find it a...good sign? that you know at least one of your scumreads is wrong?
At that, claiming to find TWM in "relative levels of scummy", despite the other half of your "argument" against me, being that I'm voting against a claimed cop

Claiming that this doesn't help with POE, despite that being a thing that it does by definition of having an odd number of scum and an equally distributed town between the two binary options.

Overall, despite posting many words, I find nearly all of your many posts forming an argument against me insubstansive, feel they are designed more to annoy then to present a reasoned argument, and they even go so far as to make your arguments on other subjects weaker


Congrats, I went off on you a bit, does this make you happy?

Second of all, thank you for your softclaim of VT.

I don't actually have the most certainty in this order but, again, it's far more important that it happens then a specific order for the claims
