EFHW and chairs get it

I'm afraid not. If they got it, they would say something like "If I was bart the SK, you would have to do X".

Why should they do that?

In the show, Bart is a loose cannon so not aligned with anyone. She is definitely bulletproof until the moment when she tries to kill Dirk and then she can be hurt and joins the cause.

So, maybe she has to target Dirk before she becomes a Good Guy.

Alignment changing is usually bastard. Lately we've played with it with warnings ahead of time. But there are no warnings of that sort in the OP. When I was a seriously nerfed serial killer in Modern Community, I pretended to be a psychiatrist hoping someone would counterclaim me and make me town. Found out later my claim should have been obviously false because changing alignment would be bastard. So my desperate hope for sanity was not to be.

I don't think alignment changing is bastard if you're the only person in your alignment and you're the one actively choosing to change your alignment.

Awaclus is correct. Everyone who tries to shoot down the plan is wrong.
Why do you like the plan so much? And why aren't people allowed to disagree with you?

For anyone else, such a statement would be a scum tell.  For Hydrad, it's simply a tell that you're reading something from Hydrad.

I'm glad I watched the show between signing up and the game starting!

I agree with Awaclus/silver that alignment changes probably aren't explicitly impossible just because we're in an RMM setup rather than a bastard setup.

I agree with EFHW that silver's response is somewhat mystifying. I think we just don't know enough to be sure the plan is a good idea. There's a chain of assumptions about Bart being in the game, about her being an SK rather than "universe-aligned", and about her being able to change to a townie. I mean, she's pretty much an agent of the universe anyway, so why isn't it equally possible that she's just a townie character like a vig or something? Whether vig or SK or something else, I think it's clear that scum has more reason to fear her than town, so I think it's reasonable to question Iguana's motives in presenting the plan. Thus I think it's odd that silver is so much on the side of adopting the chain of assumptions and scumreading those questioning Iguana's alignment.

In other news, scumpoints for those who've decided not to bother contributing to D1 until Ash has come back in with his grand plan. There's no way his idea can be worth stalling the game over. This is D1 in an RMM: he's not going to solve the setup.

What's the benefit of him posting an intent to post a plan, anyway? At best, it meets a busy person's their daily posting quota without actually resorting to fluff. In reality, it's encouraging the game to stall or to discuss Ash the player, rather than anything relevant to the current game.

Please resume normal D1 accusations, buddying, bussing, and the posting of theories of questionable worth now :-)

Okay, PSA.  My availability is generally limited to my commute, and on my phone.  So you should see spurts of activity.  I’ll do my best to respond/react to stuff that happened while I was not actively reading.

As for the long time, no sees — glad to see people active again!

Day 1 passes: Morgrim (obv), Galz (too useful as any alignment, most likely to die N1 as town), EFHW (lacking her trademark scumminess that I remember) and new people (see my debut game).

vote: igu, not rvs.  Good to see you again, buddy.

As for plans...

I will present two.  Pick one, or both, or none.

1) Mass flavorclaim.  Because of course.  But really, because flavor is clearly very important and it either super helps a lot of players at night or doesn’t.  And if it does, I posit it helps more town players than scum players so reward is greater than risk.

2) Everyone who knows the flavor posts a list of the major possible characters and likely alignments based on their knowledge of LL.  Bonus points: guess possible mafia roles.  This gives us fodder to discuss and opportunities for players to be scummy.

These aren’t plans to solve the game; these are to kickstart it and provide scumhunting clues.

But how to you know that nobody who posted intent to wait for your plan wasn't scum taking advantage of the excuse to stall? I think most people would be marginally more likely to want to slow things down here as scum than as town. Yes, it's very marginal, but that's where the concept of scumpoints and townpoints comes in useful, even if you don't want to have to be a good Bayesian about these things.
