Title: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Game Over, Scum and Treasure Hunter win!)
Post by: Glooble on April 13, 2020, 07:44:13 pm
MacGuffin Mafia

You were all on your way to a charming resort town but unfortunately the airline mixed up all your luggage! You’ve each ended up with someone’s luggage, but not your own. Some of you have important items you'll need to find and retrieve. Some of you will profit from helping others get what they need. And some of you are members of the mafia, and won't stop until this charming resort town is a bloodbath.

Player list:
1. MiX
2. mail-mi
3. Galzria
4. shraeye skip wooznum
5. WestCoastDidds
6. Scolapasta
7. LaLight
8. Awaclus
9. DatSwan
10. Joth
11. Faust
12. Joseph2302
13. Sudgy
(14.) ADK
(15.) Eevee

MacGuffin mafia is a closed setup for 13 - 15 players. It's on the border between a "fair" game and a bastard game, but I have decided to err on the side of bastard just so people know what they are getting into. It should still be a balanced game in terms of each faction having a roughly equal chance of winning. I think. I'm gonna level with you, my track record isn't amazing on that front. But with any luck I have learned something from my failures.

The closest thing this game has to a vanilla townie is the Generous Townies. Here is their PM:

You are a Generous Townie. You have no special powers. Your weapon is your vote. At night, if you have at least one item, you must give at least one item to another player (unless this is overwritten by the item description.)

You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated, or when nothing can prevent that from happening.

Flavor will be pretty standard mafia stuff, sprinkled liberally with pretty standard Glooble/joth variety humor. Passages from a bad detective novel Glooble is writing on the fly.

Standard F.DS mafia rules (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=9211.0) apply with the following additions/ exceptions:

Days will be 5 days, nights will be 48 hours. Night actions will be due 24 hours before the deadline.

Passing items will occur second-to-last in the night action resolution order, before only nightkills.

If no player has a majority of votes when the night ends, the night will end without a lynch.

Even though this is a bastard game, the mod will not ever outright lie to a player. The mod makes no promises about misleading a player.

Bold, purple text is reserved for the mod.

The game will start whenever it fills up.

New info:

Everyone may pass 1 item to another player at night in addition to any other night actions. Items you obtain during the night through this or any other ability will be given to you at the start of the next day.

I came to this town hoping to relax. A little sun, a little excitement- maybe forget about what happened in Madrid. What I wasn't looking for was trouble. But trouble has a way of finding me.

First thing I knew was wrong was at the baggage claim at the airport. My own smart, brown satchel was nowhere to be found. Eventually I just took a leather suitcase and took off. But the suitcase contained more questions than answers...


With 15 alive, it takes 8 to lynch!

Yesterday rae sent me a recipe for sourdough scones and I made them this morning and sent her a picture. So, while I don’t think the baby is here yet (that would have been far more relevant comment than icing or no) I’m sure that it is soon.

I need stuff! I have stuff! I dig the whole mixed up files of Mrs. Basil Frankweiler vibe!

So, Didds...maybe we're talking about the same thing, so lemme ask you something that only you can answer.

Would you rather someone else have it?

Well, I want someone I trust to have it.

yo

Is this a “Hey, hello! I’ve missed you so much” yo, or just raising your hand as someone I can trust who might want what I possess?

I wouldn’t have considered the question of trusting myself sans MiX.  Other than that, I’d probably have done it myself.  It seems like the point of the game. We have stuff, and we need stuff, individually and collectively.

How do I find the right person to give my stuff to, and convince someone who has something useless to them that it would be better off with me?  Is there any way to make the swap-o-Rama better for town and worse for the baddies?

I do not have stuff, and I have literally no need of stuff... unless stuff has its own Value and uses - so I wouldn’t know anything about all of that.

Well, I guess technically I have “stuff”. I have money. A certain amount of money. I cannot separate the value of money that I have, so I have an exact amount of money. I didn’t really equate that to “stuff”, because it’s money and not “stuff”... but as it’s a singular entity, maybe it should be considered “stuff”.

Still, I have no need of Stuff, so I don’t really know.

Do you think MiX is scummy for prying into your Stuff?

Eh whatever let's do it now.

I have an item

It's 8 letters long, 3 of the letters are 'o's.

If you need that item, use the word in a post of yours within the next 48 hours.

I suggest that everyone with an item to give do something like this. It will probably be protown, and definitely be fun.

Or actually, nobody else with items to give has to do this.

Everybody who needs an item can use the word in a post in the next 48 hours, and all the givers need to do is pay attention.

If you like that version better.

I sat down in the back of a cab and asked the cabby to take me to my hotel. Then I looked inside the new suitcase I'd swiped from the baggage claim. The first thing I noticed was a clue. A clue to this mystery I'd suddenly found myself embroiled in. As I was contemplating the clue, I felt the cold steel of a gun at my neck.

"Don't scream, Mr. Jones," said a Russian-accented voice. "I don't want to shoot you. I mean, I might, but I won't enjoy it."

This is from the set-up post
"You’ve each ended up with someone’s luggage, but not your own. Some of you have important items you'll need to find and retrieve. Some of you will profit from helping others get what they need."

That, combined with my role QT makes me believe that it is important that folks be reunited with their stuff, and that its better for town if that happens sooner rather than later.

3 - you can give and

Claiming what you need or can give is a bad idea. It is actually probably worse than actually claiming what you have to give and what you need. I don’t think that is a good idea either.

Also - as the listed VT role is about giving items and there are a tone of people with items we should probably assume that skum could have the ability to steal items, or intercept, or block or something.

I don't get it. If scum can block item passing, but the items don't do anything if they're not together...then scum can't actually do anything useful. Besides, this is much better than randomly giving away items, scum's going to try to steal/intercept/whatever anyway, this is a way for town to not just have fruit vendors.

What?
Skum can block items. We claim who have items to give. We claim who needs items. Skum blocks that from happening? Idk if it’s even a thing, it is assuredly the smallest point of what i was making.

And yes it would be better to randomly give items away without knowing what item someone actually needs other than actually knowing you are giving something useful to someone.

I need something. Whomever has it will likely want to be sure before they give it to the right person. Whomever has it now probably can’t do anything with it.  It has two words.

I also have something that I cannot use, but is valuable to whomever can.

Because you are Didds.

Oh, MiX. We’ve come so far together in the last year.

You could also give or receive but would prefer to receive because you’re MiX?

Yeah, I guess. Although you giving it to me makes it better than someone else giving it to me.

Ok so obvious downside.
1 - you need but can’t give.
2 - you can give but don’t need.
3 - you can give and

Claiming what you need or can give is a bad idea. It is actually probably worse than actually claiming what you have to give and what you need. I don’t think that is a good idea either.

Also - as the listed VT role is about giving items and there are a tone of people with items we should probably assume that skum could have the ability to steal items, or intercept, or block or something.

I don't get it. If scum can block item passing, but the items don't do anything if they're not together...then scum can't actually do anything useful. Besides, this is much better than randomly giving away items, scum's going to try to steal/intercept/whatever anyway, this is a way for town to not just have fruit vendors.

What?
Skum can block items. We claim who have items to give. We claim who needs items. Skum blocks that from happening? Idk if it’s even a thing, it is assuredly the smallest point of what i was making.

And yes it would be better to randomly give items away without knowing what item someone actually needs other than actually knowing you are giving something useful to someone.

Is it my phrasing - i don’t get your confusion on this.

My point is, if we randomly give items away, they'll never reach their intended destination. And if we do that, scum can still do their scum actions to try to intercept the items or w/e. We should be finding out who has the item we need, or if we have the item that someone else wants. Does scum end up getting items because of this, yes, but they would anyway if it were random.

I need something. Whomever has it will likely want to be sure before they give it to the right person. Whomever has it now probably can’t do anything with it.  It has two words.

I also have something that I cannot use, but is valuable to whomever can.

Why say it then? Just give it away.

I am defaulting to a modified version of Skip’s plan....

If you need something, let folks know what you need. I don’t think you need to use a specific word to try to hide it in the message, but it needs to be specific enough so that it makes sense to whomever has it.

If you have something, There’s no need to let folks know what you have, or to let the person who needs it know you have it. You can choose to give it or no, depending on how you feel about the towniness of who needs it.

One way that we might be able to stave off scum intercepting the necessary exchanges is for folks who do not have an item, or know their item is not the needed item to engage in back and forth about an item so that the real conversations can be hidden among the other conversations.

Since this is a bastard game, there are also probably items of negative utility...let’s give those to the baddies.

So, I think way more conversations about stuff would benefit us most. Chaos! Let’s do it!

Eh, not a joke so much as a recognition that MiX and I have come along way in our regard for one another. In our first game I let myself get sideways about something that stemmed from his aggressive play style. In many subsequent games he has (probably) been annoyed that I am as interested in talking as in playing and it took him a minute to recognize that is legit part of my personality and not scum behavior. I feel like Mix’s style has really grown over the last year, and for him to say that he’d suppose my desire to give or receive a particular item is tied to be sense of self is particularly astute.

I think that at this point, I genuinely enjoy MiX and am glad to see him in a game. I think maybe that is reciprocal.

But my questions, and answers, are all about the item I need. And there's something specific that I learned about you that would make you answer the way you did.

So, hmm, we should stop talking about it, but if you think you have the item I need, send it over. Otherwise we can drop the subject. If you're not sure...I trust your judgement.

Hmmmm.... and Joth is definitely smart enough to know that using words of items is not cryptography

There’s a history on this forum of that rule being applied very broadly. Like if someone had an item that couldn’t be casually worked into a comment, they might try to indicate it with the first letter of each word in a sentence, for instance. I’m pretty sure that exact thing has been ruled cryptography in the past by mods on this forum. So I thought it was prudent to bring it up before it became a problem for the sake of the integrity of the game.

Ok, if there are people who need specific items, and we want to try and get them to them, then how about this for a plan: everyone posts a list of five items. If you need an item, you include in your list, alongside four things that you just make up. You don't need an item you just make up five things. If you see an item you have on someone's list, you can make a somewhat informed decision about whether or not to give it to them. Gives people some guidance on giving items while giving scum very little actual information.

It's not bad. I am not sure how well we'll be able to make things up that won't stand out as made up though, scum probably has more information to determine the scope of things that are in the game. But, it's certainly way better than previous suggestions.

Post by: scolapasta on April 25, 2020, 12:24:37 pm
So about this game. Looks fun, I like the items design.

Some thoughts / questions:

• Generally in games like these, do scum get to talk N0 or not just night N1? i.e. do we think they've had any chance to coordinate anything yet?

• So I assume everyone has stuff (where stuff could be $)? That's my read from the flavor, i.e. "You’ve each ended up with someone’s luggage, but not your own."

• some people have to give an item an night (at a minimum, the generous townies from the setup), some people do not. My guess is only the generous townies.

• here's a hypothesis I'm making without much evidence, those of us who need an item, need that item to use their PR. If that includes scum, then they may not be be able to block or steal anything today, though after tonight, if their partners have the items they need, they could self coordinate that.

• If this were true, I don't see a reason why a town person couldn't have an item need / PR that could steal or block either.

• So regardless if that's right or wrong, even if we figure out who needs our stuff, we don't know if we want them to have that stuff since they may not be town.

• Lastly, I kind of like the idea of listing (at least) 5 items. I agree the challenge is figuring out good fake items. But some of us must have some pretty obscure sounding stuff, so if so, those people should have a better idea of how to make up more stuff. Maybe?

Unless scum has like an insane way for narrowing down which items are real, I don't really see a large downside to this. Other than obviously if you mess up on accident and put an item that someone needs as a "fake item" but that is not actually the item you have ofc. But every plan will have a gamble of some sort.
Yep - I am down for this if everyone is.

Ok so I was in a huge rush when I posted the plan, and I'm just logging on again now.

Obviously it was not fully thought through. People don't need to post what they have. Overtly posting what you need is also bad. But I think the part about trying to hide the item you need into your post has merit. Except maybe the person who needs the item I have, probably you shouldn't put the word in your post anymore, because people will catch it. That's my bad for describing the word. Sorry. I was roped into this game without warning right before a 24 hour period when I knew I would not be able to post. I had a brief amount of time to read my role and the thread, and I thought of the plan. My choices were to post it immediately or wait until after the 24 hour dark period, and considering that we're dealing with a short game-day I chose the former. So, as I said, it wasn't fully thought through.

Catching up now.

I’m a bad lynch folks.

I mean, somebody has to be the day 1 lynch I guess, but I can’t be the only one who thinks my wagon looks hella scummy, can I?

I guess, we’ve got a few days yet, so give me some time to do some rereading and post some reads.

But lynching someone else would be preferable.

If joth had less votes I would vote for him, but I don't really think he's scum.

I'm also feeling a bit more comfortable with my MiX vote.  I remember in one RMM game I was in I was scum and had the power to secretly lynch someone when they were at L-1.  At one point someone got to L-2 and I freaked out, saying, "What if scum has the power to lynch early?  We shouldn't get people so close to being lynched!"  I didn't realize it then, but I was freaking out because I was trying to act like town, but I had the information scum has.  Thankfully, they didn't lynch me for it, but I don't want to repeat that mistake here.

This plan fails because the thing I need sticks out like a sore thumb and I'm not confident I can create 4 fake items. So, sign me out, I already talked with Didds, if that worked, it worked, if not, it didn't.

For others, I like the plan.

My conversation with the Russian had only confirmed what I already knew. There was mafia in this town. Organized crime. But what kind? How many factions? Did they care about the mystery I was trying to unravel, or were they purely focused on their own goals?

I thought about this as I flipped through a free periodical someone had left on the door step of my motel room. The personal ads were weird. Seemed like everyone in town just wanted random stuff.


With 15 alive, it takes 8 to lynch. Deadline is April 29th at noon ET.

There was a mention of game(s) where scum had some day lynch power where they could turn L1 into a hammer. Thus, my L2 vote would be an L1 vote if scum had that power. And the fact people were mentioning it made me think it could be relevant to this game. Better to get more wagons, get more info and then we can always still lynch joth later on if people want to. But D1 for me is about options not just everyone tunnelling one persob

Ok, I've been sitting on some information and I should probably start divulging it.

The item I need has appeared in another player's list of 5.

The way I see it, there are 3 possibilities:
A)The player in question really needs a different item on their list, and totally by chance happened to put the item I need on their list.
B)The player needs the same item I need, and is town.
C)The player needs the same item I need, and is scum.

I have personal opinions on the relative likelihood of these possibilities, but I'd first like to hear from others, especially the people who have provided lists.

B)The player needs the same item I need, and is town.
C)The player needs the same item I need, and is scum.

I have personal opinions on the relative likelihood of these possibilities, but I'd first like to hear from others, especially the people who have provided lists.

Option D) The player has the item and included in their list to get this kind of reaction (I think that's possibly NAI)
Ok that hadn't occurred to me. Though it seems like a bad idea as either alignment.

The item I need has appeared in another player's list of 5.

Interesting. But I don't think I could answer A without knowing what the item name is (which isn't me asking you to claim it)
To be honest, this is a pretty strange situation and I'm unsure where to go from here. Should I claim more? Should I wait for the other list posters to say more? The thing is, I want the person who posted my item to say more stuff before he's sure he's the one who posted my item. On the other hand it's probably bad for the other list posters to start saying things, because they're not really involved and should not be forced to claim anything further. So I'm more or less at a loss and have been for some time.

Why? Because someone would probably say that they needed an item from someone else's list (which you have done), and so if they benefit from being helpful, they will probably pass it to you

Of course, it's possible that multiple people did this, in which case it may not work. Or the person with it doesn't want to be helpful

Post by: jotheonah on April 27, 2020, 12:02:39 pm
Ok, time for me to do some actual scumhunting. I'm going to analyze my own wagon because I know I'm town. It'll be less helpful for those of you who don't, but you can go back and read it after I flip if you all lynch me, which you shouldn't.

I need stuff! I have stuff! I dig the whole mixed up files of Mrs. Basil Frankweiler vibe!

Needing stuff AND having stuff seems OP. Probably SK. vote: Didds

Vote: joth I also need stuff and have stuff. Uh in fact this is a scumslip because town would never have said this.

MiX starts the wagon. His vote is super dumb and annoying but he's probably not scum because he never is when I want him to be. His vote gains no traction so he tries to push it again. At this point I've posted twice and nothing of substance, so MiX's level of certainty is  totally inappropriate, but not out of character for MiX.

I know I'm having a bit too much fun item finding, but joth is still scum. So...vote for him. He's not coming from town's perspective.

Then I defend myself, MiX doubles down. It's all still dumb. Second vote is a good old unexplained faust vote.

Vote: joth

This is either a towny starting a wagon for information or scum trying to add some steam to a promising town-originated mislynch. No way to know.

Then a vote from ADK and sheeps from Eevee and LaLight:

Vote: scolapasta

I think scola’s “huh what does scum have N0 chat?” post is a blatant grab for newbie town cred. I don’t buy that he didn’t know that, it’s like that in literally every game.

vote: joth this kind of argument absolutely comes more often from scum looking for a reason to discredit towncred

vote: joth
buying what ADK is selling

joth really IS scum

vote: joth

Typically, I find the third vote to be a prime scum spot -- it's often the vote that turns a handful of votes into a wagon. But at least the vote has some substance to it. I think ADK's reaction to my post smacks of confirmation bias, but it's not especially scummy. The sheep votes, though, feel like pure opportunistic scum. If there isn't at least one scum between Eevee and LaLight I'll eat my hat. (No, that's not an item breadcrumb, but what a great one it would be if it were).

Skip chimes in with a support for my wagon but no actual vote. Also very scummy, setting himself up to hammer and not look bad for it, but staying off the wagon so that he doesn't show up in wagon analyses later.

Also, down for ash's plan.

Also, down to lynch joth.

Also, down to give scola towncred.

This next vote by Joseph is a little too blatant to be scum I think, but I  could be wrong. I don't know Joseph that well, but from what I know I can see him being that bold, especially if he has a partner he thinks will step in with the quickhammer.

This is like a buy-one, get-four bargain sale! I love a sale, but I’m not down with lynching Joth until we are ready to let the night market swap-o-Rama begin.
Vote: joth
#wagons

If joth had less votes I would vote for him, but I don't really think he's scum.

What a weird thing to say.

IN SUMMATION:

MiX: Totally obnoxious but probably town, scum doesn't work that hard for a specific town lynch on day 1.
faust: Null
ADK: Lean town, his vote felt towny and made sense
Eevee: Lean scum, exactly where scum jumps on a wagon
LaLight: Lean scum, exactly where scum jumps on a wagon, but they're probably not both scum
Joseph: Can't decide. Joseph also jumped off my wagon pretty quickly, which is either scum getting cold feet or townie wagon-jumping. The whole pattern on Joseph seems too blatant to be scum play, but it could be a double-bluff. Ultimately leaning town here.

Next step for me will be rereading the rest of Eevee and LaLight's game to see if I can find additional evidence of scumminess.

Ok, I re-read. Now I get it. I wasn't following at the time.

It is definitely interesting, though not exactly surprising, that there are items multiple people need (which seems more likely to me than someone randomly listing an item that  skip happens to need).

I think it's more likely that the people who need the same item are on different factions -- that's much more elegant game design.

So there is merit, especially on day 1, to lynching one person out of a pair who need the same item. That said, we have only skip's word here, so if he says [so and so] needs the same item as me, he could really have just named anybody who posted a list as a scum tactic to get that person lynched. So maybe this isn't presently actionable.
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 1)
Post by: jotheonah on April 27, 2020, 02:14:10 pm
There's just so many unknowns. The more I think about it, it would also be elegant design to use items as a way to give town more potential power without giving them too much actual power. So maybe there's one townie who has a blueberry gun so if they get blueberries they can become a vigilante, and another one has a blender and if they get blueberries they can make a smoothie which  acts as a  one-shot doctor  (just picking the first item on the list and making up a bullshit example).

That  approach seems easier to balance than having scum and town need the same things.

But I have to assume Glooble's design process here was at least partially rooted in our design for Unfortunate Events mafia, which had information (though not physical things) that town and scum both needed for different reasons. So that design seems a little more likely from a meta standpoint. And, in fact, both things could be true in this design.

Town on Eevee for this, because scum would definitely know more about items than Eevee does here.
How do you know what scum would definitely know?

Because there's more of them?  That almost by definition means they know more than us.  That's the whole point of the game is that the mafia know more than the town.

Regarding skip vs. mail-mi, I'll wait until mail-mi chimes in.  I would be a bit worried in assuming that one of them has to be scum, but I can at least see the merit in lynching one of them today.

Anyway, mail-mi has come back to thread and posted and ignored my revelation so I guess there's no point waiting around any longer.

The item I need appears in mail-mi's list.

Vote: mail-mi


Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

Interesting. I listed the item I need plus 4 random ones. I think that makes you more likely scum than town, if you happen to need the same item I do.

vote: skip

I will say I struggled with whether to make this Bastard or RMM. After the game I’ll explain my reasoning and we can all decide if I made the right call. Ultimately it came down to me thinking people would be more angry about getting a bastard game when they signed up for a normal one than visa versa.

I, for one, am treating this game seriously.

I agree with Glooble, we should be treating this game like a RMM gone wrong, not drunk mafia with extra roles.

DAMAs are fun and encouraged, however. At least from me, because those are always fun.

I, for one, will take the towncred for saying this already.

Ok so I was in a huge rush when I posted the plan, and I'm just logging on again now.

Obviously it was not fully thought through. People don't need to post what they have. Overtly posting what you need is also bad. But I think the part about trying to hide the item you need into your post has merit. Except maybe the person who needs the item I have, probably you shouldn't put the word in your post anymore, because people will catch it. That's my bad for describing the word. Sorry. I was roped into this game without warning right before a 24 hour period when I knew I would not be able to post. I had a brief amount of time to read my role and the thread, and I thought of the plan. My choices were to post it immediately or wait until after the 24 hour dark period, and considering that we're dealing with a short game-day I chose the former. So, as I said, it wasn't fully thought through.

Catching up now.

Ok, I re-read. Now I get it. I wasn't following at the time.

It is definitely interesting, though not exactly surprising, that there are items multiple people need (which seems more likely to me than someone randomly listing an item that  skip happens to need).

I think it's more likely that the people who need the same item are on different factions -- that's much more elegant game design.

So there is merit, especially on day 1, to lynching one person out of a pair who need the same item. That said, we have only skip's word here, so if he says [so and so] needs the same item as me, he could really have just named anybody who posted a list as a scum tactic to get that person lynched. So maybe this isn't presently actionable.

this. smart. good idea/catch.

If he claimed to by total chance pick out of a hat one of the thousands of words in the English language and it just happened to be the rope I need, we'd lynch him for sure. Actually I was hoping he would do that when I told him to claim

I think I have to vote: mail-mi here. In a vacuum, I was finding skip scummier this game, but I think the Occam's razor of this situation is that (A) it's more likely than not that one of them is scum and (B) mail-mi is the more likely scum than skip.

Lynching one of them has the added benefit that whoever has the rope can feel pretty safe about handing it to the survivor if the lynch flipped scum or withholding it if the lynch flipped town.

The downside is if we're wrong about the setup assumption and they're both town we could find ourselves set up for the double mislynch, as someone else pointed out. But mislynches the first two days are not that uncommon in mafia and usually survivable.

All things considered, it's usually town rather than scum than comes out early with claims in games like these, the downside of doing so generally being risking an early death which town tends to mind less. I see no reason to assume that two people who need the rope couldn't both be town. The people looking most scummy to me right now are the ones that are lining up two lynches from this, just doesn't seem warranted from the information we have.

The other thing we could do is ask them to claim why they need the rope? That would provide us some insight into who's townier or who's scummier.

I'm not saying it's tantamount to an investigative result. My feeling though, is that this evidence definitely is way more telling than any reads-based evidence that we're going to get D1. I think it's considerably more likely that mail-mi is scum than town, and as much as I love the idea of me having good reads and finding scum the old fashioned way, I'm prepared to admit I'm not very good at it.

Is it possible two townies need the same item? Yes. Considering it from a game design standpoint, not to mention certain implications in the flavor post that we each need to find our own luggage, I find more likely that scum needs my rope.

I had this thought as well. The scum player will most likely have to lie and might give themselves away, but it also means  giving away a town power that scum then has to play around. Although, honestly, if we're right and we lynch scum, I expect the survivor to be the N1 kill so it might well be moot anyway...

vote: skip

I'll join this. I agree that the game design seems more elegant to be different factions needing the same item. Heck, they could even both be different scum factions and thinking it's town vs scum?

The other thing we could do is ask them to claim why they need the rope? That would provide us some insight into who's townier or who's scummier.

ppe 16!; wrote this had work call, I'm sticking to it while I catch up!
I'm not going to claim my power, but looking from an outside point of view, it's more likely to be a town than scum power.

All things considered, it's usually town rather than scum than comes out early with claims in games like these, the downside of doing so generally being risking an early death which town tends to mind less. I see no reason to assume that two people who need the rope couldn't both be town. The people looking most scummy to me right now are the ones that are lining up two lynches from this, just doesn't seem warranted from the information we have.

Think about it folks, if scum really is in a 1v1 here, there's no good outcome for them -- even if they manage to get town to pick the other one, their guy just gets lynched tomorrow.  The only move for a scum partner here that saves their partner for real is to attack the whole premise of the 1 v 1 and attack it hard, so hard that you make people feel stupid for believing in it and they back off.

It's idiotic game design to create items such that they're used exclusively by 1 town and 1 scum. We all claim what we need, we look at the counter-claims, we lynch amongst those pools, game over. It isn't a game at that point. You want to know what scum do? They promote bad mod design ideas to line up lynches and try to sell people on the idea that there's a world where that game design makes sense. There are 4 scenarios here:

Mail-Mi is not town. Skip is not town.
Mail-Mi is not town. Skip is town.
Mail-Mi is town. Skip is not town.
Mail-Mi is town. Skip is town.

Knowing that they both need the same item has very little impact on the the chances that we're living in any of the above 4 scenario's - and it CERTAINLY doesn't make numbers 2 or 3 exceptionally likely. Advocating that we lynch both as you've done is just lining up lynches. I will not be a part of lynching based on an argument of that the MOD doesn't know how to design a game.

Ok, I re-read. Now I get it. I wasn't following at the time.

It is definitely interesting, though not exactly surprising, that there are items multiple people need (which seems more likely to me than someone randomly listing an item that  skip happens to need).

I think it's more likely that the people who need the same item are on different factions -- that's much more elegant game design.

So there is merit, especially on day 1, to lynching one person out of a pair who need the same item. That said, we have only skip's word here, so if he says [so and so] needs the same item as me, he could really have just named anybody who posted a list as a scum tactic to get that person lynched. So maybe this isn't presently actionable.

this. smart. good idea/catch.

There's little to misinterpret here. You even bolded the part that you were clearly agreeing with for emphasis.

"I think it's more likely that the people who need the same item are on different factions -- that's much more elegant game design."

You've said, through your agreeing statements "this. smart. good idea/catch.", that you believe that it is likely that one of Mail-Mi & Skip is scum, as they share a need of the same item. If one were lynched and flipped town, then your belief, as you've made clear here, is that the other is likely scum. That is the definition of "lining up lynches" before flips occur - and in this case, based on a bad mod design theory.

This is a much more reasonable response. One of Mail-Mi or Skip may in fact be scum. The fact that they've claimed need of the same item is irrelevant. It's much more worthwhile to look at the how/when/why of their claims. In neither case is it a particularly logical scum play - they've both, independently of each other and at different times, set up claims that don't make sense from scum D1.

As I sipped my irish-coffee-hold-the-coffee, I listen the the waiter and the busboy gossiping about the sous-chef. Word on the street was he was working for the mob. Or at least that's what the busboy thought.

That is not true though.

Oh, and he let mail-mi claim the item rather than doing it himself, so that he had all the options available.

I mean, I disagree with your conclusion, but I respect your thought process to reach it.

Or, he could have been trying to figure out what he was doing, and was asking for advice?  I feel that especially fits here with skip being suddenly thrown into the game.  A lot of what seems scummy about skip can be explained as "he had little time to think of anything and has been trying to keep up ever since."  Now, between him and mail-mi, I would pick him, but I don't think he is as scummy as people seem to be making him out to be.

This is such a simplistic straw man. (1) it’s a closed setup, so we can’t game it in this way because we don’t know our theory to be correct (case in point, your current argument). (2) Like all claiming-related plans there are lots of ways for scum to manipulate it by lying about what they need. The setup is only solvable if scum admits to needing the same item as someone else.

Now let me defend my claim to why it’s elegant. The game creates a mini game about giving items to other people. If only town needed the items town had, THAT would be solvable— everyone would just claim what they needed and people would give it to them. If scum and town both need items town has, then there’s risk in every decision: risk in whether to share info about what you have/need, risks in whether to give those things out. And there’s trade offs for scum too— scum mail-mi can list the rope, inviting the possibility of a 1 v 1 but also the chance that he gets the rope that he needs to get whatever scum power it grants, or he can not list it and give up the power but avoid that situation.

All that said, I want to be careful not to fall in that trap where in the process of trying to defend a position I end up clinging much more strongly to it than it deserves. So, to be clear, it’s definitely possible Mail-mi and skip are both town. And lynching one and them flipping town should not lead us to automatically lynch the other one the next day— though I don’t actually think anyone’s advocated that explicitly. BUT I think lynching one of them gives us a better chance of hitting scum then lynching outside them.

And, finally, I think my vote for you was a bit overzealous. I stand by the basic premise— that Galz’s reaction was the only sensible one for a scum buddy if we are in a 1 v 1 situation. But I’ve been persuaded that the likelihood that we are in that situation is lower than I thought.

It seems entirely likely that there are objects that can help multiple folks, regardless of alignment.

The object exchange is the fun stuff (to me). Not everyone talked about stuff or made a list. I don't think it is particularly townie to have done so, but since it wasn't universally done, there is no reason for scum!mail-mi to have even made a list.  To me, listing is towny. Skip was early on the "lets talk about the stuff" game, which I think is pretty towny, too.  Long way of saving, I think this is town v town.

If you need that item, use the word in a post of yours within the next 48 hours.

That is, both had ways to avoid being put into a 1v1 today and neither of them took that out. Scum avoids this conflict if they have the chance to do so.
That is not true though. And skip in particular wasn't apporaching the claim in a townie manner at all; instead he first asked what people believed about two people needing different items before going through with the claim, the only reasons for which I can see are testing the waters for how a claim would turn out and getting people to talk more about items, both of which are scummy.

Oh, and he let mail-mi claim the item rather than doing it himself, so that he had all the options available.
The reason I asked people's opinions is because I wanted scums' opinions (mail-mi in particular) on record before they knew who claimed my item. After a while, I got tired of waiting.

I don't understand what you mean by your second point. Are you saying my plan was to claim whichever item he claimed? Seems like a strange plan.

This Mix-Didds thing is so curious, odd and interesting. Probably means they are both tow or one is scum and trying to rope in the other who is town, but not two scum from the same faction because what would be the point?

Are you softclaiming a third use of Rope?

Eh whatever let's do it now.

I have an item

It's 8 letters long, 3 of the letters are 'o's.

If you need that item, use the word in a post of yours within the next 48 hours.

I suggest that everyone with an item to give do something like this. It will probably be protown, and definitely be fun.

Can you go over why you thought this was a good idea, in extreme detail?
I don't really have a good answer for you. It was obviously a bad idea. I've already admitted as much. I'm actually kind of embarrassed about it. My only excuse is that I had very little time to think and I knew I wouldn't be able to post for 24 hours so I just said "what the heck" and went for it. In fact, in the very next post, I had already realized it was bad to say I had an item.

I'm sorry if this is unsatisfying, but know that I feel worse about it than you do.

I would look into the people that voted mail-mi initially, then jumped off for weak votes on other players.

It's not. It's making the point that arguments based on scumminess based solely on the concept of "Two people needing the same item must mean one is scum" are dumb. If Skip finds Mail-Mi's reaction, revelation, responses to be scummy then he should be able to formulate a case based on that. The fact is that we know nothing about this mechanic - and so if the argument is "I want to make it a 1v1 based on my belief of this mechanic", then you've got to be able to own the backside of that if the player in question is lynched and flips town.

Rereading thread now.

If joth had less votes I would vote for him, but I don't really think he's scum.

I'm also feeling a bit more comfortable with my MiX vote.  I remember in one RMM game I was in I was scum and had the power to secretly lynch someone when they were at L-1.  At one point someone got to L-2 and I freaked out, saying, "What if scum has the power to lynch early?  We shouldn't get people so close to being lynched!"  I didn't realize it then, but I was freaking out because I was trying to act like town, but I had the information scum has.  Thankfully, they didn't lynch me for it, but I don't want to repeat that mistake here.
I don't follow. What mistake? What's the relevance of the story?

The mistake of not lynching scum.  The story is relevant because MiX is doing the exact same thing as I did then, as scum.

Wait, what did I do that is similar to this?

vote:joseph

(forgot to bold)
Such a OMGUS vote

Nah, wasn't because it was on me, but because it was jumping the wagon.

Scummmmyyyyy.

That reminds me I need to keep track of reads of this game.

Have we ever lynched Faust day 1 before? Let's try it vote: faust

L a z y and I'm pretty sure it's also a scumtell for mail-mi.

Anyway, mail-mi has come back to thread and posted and ignored my revelation so I guess there's no point waiting around any longer.

The item I need appears in mail-mi's list.

Vote: mail-mi


Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

What does that have to do with mail-mi not saying anything? How was he supposed to know he had the doubleclaim?


And after these, there's nothing else. I can't recall anything that anyone has done of any significance other than this 1v1 and Galzria's arguments against this being a 1v1.

Skip's still scum I think.

PPE: Do you have any posts that are scummy for mail-mi?

Okay, how about this. If you're scum, you expect to lynch mail-mi and live. I can see the future, this is what will happen if you're not lynched today.

Also doing this 1v1 as town is bad because mail-mi can easily be town.

The vote didn't have to do with him not saying anything. What I meant was that my hopes of getting mail-mi to commit to an opinion on whether or not this was 1v1, before knowing if he was involved, were proving fruitless. Therefore, may as well just vote him already.

Or, he could have been trying to figure out what he was doing, and was asking for advice?  I feel that especially fits here with skip being suddenly thrown into the game.  A lot of what seems scummy about skip can be explained as "he had little time to think of anything and has been trying to keep up ever since."  Now, between him and mail-mi, I would pick him, but I don't think he is as scummy as people seem to be making him out to be.
You make it sound as though he entered the game suddenly on Day 3. The post where he talked about the double item was well after his entrance into the game.

I feel like mail-mi loses the 1v1 automatically by virtue of being called mail-mi. This also feels like a plan made by skip, and scum!skip probably loves doing this based on what I've seen of him.

I also confused skip with scolapasta btw, this is coloring my read on him. Skip doesn't have a finished game that I actually read. But the above's about skip.

If joth had less votes I would vote for him, but I don't really think he's scum.

I'm also feeling a bit more comfortable with my MiX vote.  I remember in one RMM game I was in I was scum and had the power to secretly lynch someone when they were at L-1.  At one point someone got to L-2 and I freaked out, saying, "What if scum has the power to lynch early?  We shouldn't get people so close to being lynched!"  I didn't realize it then, but I was freaking out because I was trying to act like town, but I had the information scum has.  Thankfully, they didn't lynch me for it, but I don't want to repeat that mistake here.
I don't follow. What mistake? What's the relevance of the story?

The mistake of not lynching scum.  The story is relevant because MiX is doing the exact same thing as I did then, as scum.

Wait, what did I do that is similar to this?

It was your whole thing of "scum have powers to block, intercept, etc. item transfer".  That's the reason I'm voting for you.

Swan said that first. Can you double check?

confirmed that was me that brought up that concept.

And looking at it, your post bringing it up had more reason to it, so I guess just Unvote.

If I had to pick between skip and mail-mi, even though skip seems more scummy to me, I would probably go for mail-mi, because skip is at least trying to be helpful.  No offense mail-mi, but don't be surprised if we lynch you because are currently being pretty anti-town.

I get it. I also just hate D1. I like later days when we have night info to go on. However this has been a pretty eventful D1 so it's been fun.

Also lynching me is not a bad choice, so long as you lynch skip after I flip town.

I agree about desperately wanting to see a night. So much so that I have considered a no lynch so we can get to it and try to figure out what’s what.

But then again, Joseph. Who doesn’t seem to be around or doing much other than repeating that he’s not scum.
You want a no lynch? I know it's a BM, but still doesn't seem like a good idea to me

Joseph is around and keeping up with things. Whilst having been day drinking the last 3 days....

And I think I've said my bit: I don't think the rope thing is town vs town. And I don't really trust either of them, lynch one and get some info

I think Skip thought that revealing these things about his item would be a towny thing to do and didn't realize it would put us in a 1v1.

If you want a night so desparately, you should probably put your vote on a wagon with more than one person. It tends to speed up the process.

Yeah, yeah okay

I literally don't have anything other than they have somewhat contradictory claims (yes both people needing the same item could be town, but with no other information I think that it's more likely that one of them is scum) and skip was the one who initiated it

That's good enough for a day one case for me. Wow me with something else

I offered Swan, most blatant example of lining up lynches I saw. Seems only Galzria thought it was an interesting line of questioning.

It's day 1, I'm mostly trying not to get lynched myself. To offset being not useful like that, I'm trying to take clear and strong stances in the posts I do make so if I do survive, there's something about me out there for later days.

Oh yeah definitely the best thing to do today is go off the wall insane and lynch some random instead of the 1v1, and then get lynched after when they flip town as most people are town. Yeah that's exactly what Eevee should be doing.

Look at the wagons, look at the deadline (what's the deadline anyway?) there's no other real alternatives to the conflict.

"Two people both need rope?" said the Mayor. "One of them must be working for the mob. But which one?"

I continued sipping my coffee mug of whiskey as I watched the scene unfold. Man, this town was weird.

I don't think putting in a lot of effort day1 is a good use of anyone's time. I would totally greenlight a random lynch -> into the night right now if I could.

Speaking against this 1-1 is how I'm trying to be useful too. It's not like I'm being intentionally useless, I just don't think there's much of anything I can analyze yet.

D1's the easiest day to catch scum because there's no conflicts or claims or anything, just classic reading people. And town's good at reading scum.

Then skip has the brilliant idea of outing people's item needs and here we are.

I reread the first part of the day with Skip. So first it takes him a few posts after mine (there are three of his posts between my list and the one where he brings up that we share an item) and then he lists 3 different possibilities of what it could be. At this point, he is not making it a 1v1 but leaving it open to possibilities. Then he reveals that it's on my list, then votes for me. However, again he is not making this a 1v1 because he says right after he votes me:

Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

So he still isn't intent on making this a 1v1. I think town would be more gungho about a 1v1 because a 1-for-1 trade town-for-scum is much better for town than it is for scum, especially this early on.

Also he allows me to claim the item I need first, so he has a plan on what to go off of. He could have lied and said he doesn't need to rope, so perhaps there are some townpoints there, but not enough to make up for what happened earlier.

There's my skip case, take it or leave it (I prefer you take it cause he's scum)

If town vs town, we can give further scrutiny to those who advocated for it (myself included).

Also of note that I was the first to pronounce him as scum more definitively, in this post:

Anyway, mail-mi has come back to thread and posted and ignored my revelation so I guess there's no point waiting around any longer.

The item I need appears in mail-mi's list.

Vote: mail-mi


Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

Interesting. I listed the item I need plus 4 random ones. I think that makes you more likely scum than town, if you happen to need the same item I do.

vote: skip

So I pushed more for the 1v1 than skip.

"Not leaving there for the rest of the day" means "Not leaving this vote for the rest of the day" which means he's not moving his vote from you which means it's a 1v1.

Are you scum?

Well, one of us interpreted it wrong. Would not be surprised about either interpretation being correct.

Thank you for your honesty. I like how that's the only answer I could give as scum, yet as town I could say much more. No idea about you, however.

I guess it would be better to ask skip than argue over its meaning without the person who said it.

@skip, with this sentence:

Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

Did you mean that your vote will not be leaving me for the rest of the day, or that you won't be leaving your vote there for the rest of the day and will move it later?

Of course, we won't know if the answer will really be what he meant then or what he wants us now to think what he meant then.

It's almost like you knew exactly what was going to happen if mail-mi had answered and it's completely irrelevant for your read on him.

Almost as if you just wanted him to say it's a 1v1 so you can 1v1 him and after winning it say that he's the one with the idea so how can you be scum. And use the D2 smokescreen (there's going to be a D2 smokescreen, I can see the sparks from here) to escape being the lynch.

It's so close to this being planned by you in an attempt to make him less towny regardless of what he says. Wow. Could it be?

To be clear, what it looks like to me happened is as follows:
My original post didn't necessarily imply that I would ever reveal whose list it was. I didn't state my opinion on whether or not this was 1v1. Scum with a bit of wishful thinking could reasonably hope that I might be talked out of any further claiming, that galzria-type arguments would prevail, and the whole thing might be forgotten. So, the best move would be to say nothing and hope for the best.

The answer to both these questions is really the same. I don't "know" mail-mi's scum. I didn't cop him. I'm just much more confident about him than anybody else. If I had to quantify it (which is a bit silly but whatever) I'd say about 75-80%.

Ok, I've been sitting on some information and I should probably start divulging it.

The item I need has appeared in another player's list of 5.

The way I see it, there are 3 possibilities:
A)The player in question really needs a different item on their list, and totally by chance happened to put the item I need on their list.
B)The player needs the same item I need, and is town.
C)The player needs the same item I need, and is scum.

I have personal opinions on the relative likelihood of these possibilities, but I'd first like to hear from others, especially the people who have provided lists.

How scum reads this post:

"I have a guilty result

The way I see it, there's 3 possiblities:
A) Bus driver
B) Miller
C) Actual scum

I'll claim who is it after reactions"

Current votes (I think)

skip wooznum (5): Awaclus, mail-mi, scolapasta, Joseph, MiX
mail-mi (5): skip wooznum, LaLight, faust, WestCoastDidds, A Drowned Kernel

So 10/15 people in this town have bought into this 1v1 thing enough to place a vote. Half of them think skip is scum, half think mail-mi is. Assuming no one switches one to the other, we need three of myself, Galz, Swan, Eevee, and Sudgy to commit. Galz and Eevee don't like the 1v1. sudgy doesn't seem to either, but said he'd vote mail-mi if he had to. I've been wavering. Swan .... Swan is the one who Galz accused of lining up mislynches, but weirdly he's not on either wagon.

I like that we're neatly divided into 3 boxes. If this is a 1v1, is scum fence-sitting, bussing, or trying to get the townie lynched? I can see an  argument for any of the above.  I think rookie scum votes for the townie here, advanced scum voted for their partner early on, and galaxy brain scum does what Galz did and tries to torpedo the whole paradigm.

If this isn't a 1v1, scum is not incentivized to do much of anything here, other than to sit  around and wait for a decision to happen. They're probably split between the two  wagons, with one waiting around to drop the hammer.

So it really does seem to me that whether or not skip/mail-mi is a 1v1, there's very likely at least one scum among the uncommitted. Can I interest anyone in pivoting to a Galz lynch? Or do I need to hurry up and pick a side already?

Well Joseph didn't consider it a 1v1 at all so he reacted pretty normally for someone who liked option D the best.

Will answer this in a bit - trying to button up some projects for work and I keep distracting myself with this and cocktails (oooh, just made (and am currently drinking) a fantastic coffee/rum/cynar/licor 43 cocktail that I served in a pre-smoked (cinnamon smoke) chilled coupe glass). I've actually been wondering if anybody would ask.

So it really does seem to me that whether or not skip/mail-mi is a 1v1, there's very likely at least one scum among the uncommitted. Can I interest anyone in pivoting to a Galz lynch? Or do I need to hurry up and pick a side already?
If you wanted to get another wagon started, then it's not a smart move to pick the person who would be most willing to join such a wagon.

Anyone who wants to lynch joth is scum. Except you, I guess.

There's a problem with D1, which is some people are bad D1 lynches. You're one of them, and so is joth in specific scenarios. Hint, the scenario is when I'm town.

I want to think a bit more about the people in this game and reread some to figure out where my vote would be best, but I have classes right now.  I'll look closer tonight, will vote then, and will try to be around for deadline tomorrow if I have to.  I know that if I had to, I would prefer lynching skip or mail-mi over a no lynch, so I would vote for either if I have to.

For the record, away from Skip/Mail, since this takes little time to put together (while I distract myself from work):

I would be down for a MiX/Joth/ADK/Swan lynch. Those are my top 4 for various, individual, reasons.

Like I stated earlier - I'll be done with my work stuffs in about 2 hours, and I'll answer Joth's questions about my reasoning behind my ADK vote then. I'm not going to go through and make individual cases on each of those 4 at this time though - but if anybody feels like doing so, and you think we have time to move a lynch there, you can count on my vote. Otherwise, I'll move my vote to one of Mail-Mi/Skip (again, not stating which I prefer right now) prior to deadline.

I have caught up and I am just a still quite lost. I feel like everyone is reading this through like a magnifying lens of damn clarity and I am stuck freeking one eye blind over here. My initial reaction is that the 1v1 seems slightly forced, but there are too many people involved with fairly serious opinions at this point for even half of them to realistically be skum.

I can come up with exactly one scenario, which hilariously has not been brought up yet, in which skip brings up the situation, then claims it is mail mi, then mail mi says it is rope, then skip says yeah that's the one... but the case is equally as likely/unlikely as any others that have been brought up.

I straight up forgot this was on a 5 day thing. So I need an hour or two to dig in a bit and then I will get at it.

I am also unenthusiastic about the 1v1...in all honesty I think its town v town and so just a stab in the dark.  But it has so dominated the conversation that there is very little else to go on.

Regarding skip vs. mail-mi, I'll wait until mail-mi chimes in.  I would be a bit worried in assuming that one of them has to be scum, but I can at least see the merit in lynching one of them today.

Post by: MiX on April 28, 2020, 10:21:53 pm
Ok here's why scum has to enter the 1v1 or they're outed.

Ok, if there are people who need specific items, and we want to try and get them to them, then how about this for a plan: everyone posts a list of five items. If you need an item, you include in your list, alongside four things that you just make up. You don't need an item you just make up five things. If you see an item you have on someone's list, you can make a somewhat informed decision about whether or not to give it to them. Gives people some guidance on giving items while giving scum very little actual information.

Thoughts?

Plan made by ADK.

Ok so I was in a huge rush when I posted the plan, and I'm just logging on again now.

Obviously it was not fully thought through. People don't need to post what they have. Overtly posting what you need is also bad. But I think the part about trying to hide the item you need into your post has merit. Except maybe the person who needs the item I have, probably you shouldn't put the word in your post anymore, because people will catch it. That's my bad for describing the word. Sorry. I was roped into this game without warning right before a 24 hour period when I knew I would not be able to post. I had a brief amount of time to read my role and the thread, and I thought of the plan. My choices were to post it immediately or wait until after the 24 hour dark period, and considering that we're dealing with a short game-day I chose the former. So, as I said, it wasn't fully thought through.

Catching up now.

Crumb before the plan came into fruition. It depends on who has the rope, but I'm scanning the thread for crumbs of the item I have, so if you do this intentionally there's a chance you can't come back. I guess it's easier to defend against "you said rope and you didn't need it" than "you entered a 1v1 and the other flipped town", eh.

I like ADK's plan. I'll start. We're listing items we need right?

Blueberries
Rope
Camera
Glasses
Hat

There's an argument for "well mail-mi could've seen the crumb" but...it's mail-mi. Besides crumbs are usually caught over night. Anyway, mail-mi puts "Rope" here because he needs it, regardless of alignment. After all, how else would he know there's a Rope?


Random post to say that he didn't immediately say he was conflicting mail-mi. Why wait? What are you waiting for?

Ok, I've been sitting on some information and I should probably start divulging it.

The item I need has appeared in another player's list of 5.

The way I see it, there are 3 possibilities:
A)The player in question really needs a different item on their list, and totally by chance happened to put the item I need on their list.
B)The player needs the same item I need, and is town.
C)The player needs the same item I need, and is scum.

I have personal opinions on the relative likelihood of these possibilities, but I'd first like to hear from others, especially the people who have provided lists.

Claims that there's a "counterclaim", asks to "hear from others". He could've not done this, but if he wants to claim he needed rope, he has to defend against not doing this, so it's not exactly optional. And if he doesn't claim to want rope, then his softclaim might catch him in a lie.

Interesting. But I don't think I could answer A without knowing what the item name is (which isn't me asking you to claim it)
To be honest, this is a pretty strange situation and I'm unsure where to go from here. Should I claim more? Should I wait for the other list posters to say more? The thing is, I want the person who posted my item to say more stuff before he's sure he's the one who posted my item. On the other hand it's probably bad for the other list posters to start saying things, because they're not really involved and should not be forced to claim anything further. So I'm more or less at a loss and have been for some time.

Doesn't know what to do with the information. Which is fair, I certainly wouldn't if I was in his position.

Anyway, mail-mi has come back to thread and posted and ignored my revelation so I guess there's no point waiting around any longer.

The item I need appears in mail-mi's list.

Vote: mail-mi


Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

Except here he clearly knows what he was setting up for, so that's one contradiction. This reeks of planned and not at all organic from his information.

Now, why does he do this plan? Very simple: to get the rope and a mislynch. Isn't that what's happening if he wins it? Maybe he really wants it, I wouldn't know what it does.


I'm tired so that's all you'll get. It's elementary to say why mail-mi entered the conflict if he's the scum in it, he had no choice, and he can't just name a random item in the list because if it doesn't exist he's dead.

Good night. Will be here for deadline.

Which position is that?

Honestly, I was a bit taken aback by people being so quick to follow my plan, but my gut reaction is that getting this kind of thing out there is at least useful in getting the game going

If there is scum in mix and skip: scum is probably in the sidelines, because in that case lynching in the 1v1 is bad for them regardless of which one flips. As someone who was scum in the gladiator game being in position where you're forced into that dichotomy is very uncomfortable, and I think they would want to shift away from that

If it's town vs town... then scum's wherever.

So, I generally like to reread by person and say what I think of each person.

MiX: Holy cow, MiX posts a lot.  Anyway, I can see why he is always lynched.  The way he plays just seems scummy.  I understand that that's his meta and won't hold it against him.  I forgot that he had that whole weird claiming things with Didds at first.  It is weird that he went after Joth hard at first but then later started ultra-buddying him and then started saying he was so much town that anybody who wanted to lynch him was scum.  MiX never provides a reason for any of these changes.  In the end, MiX posted an insane amount, but didn't commit to much in all of it.  I feel like I just can't really read him right now, so null for now.

mail-mi: I already said what I thought earlier, and still think the same after rereading him.  He hasn't posted that much, dragged RVS longer than it needed to, and the only posts of substance he's made are related to skip vs mail-mi, and then one post going after Eevee.  I actually lean a bit scum here just because of how unhelpful he's been.

Galzria: He has mainly just been arguing against other people's conclusions, which is interesting.  His biggest thing is coming out hard against it being a 1v1.  I would say null, but with maybe a tiny scum lean because he hasn't said much other than arguing against the 1v1.

skip: Wow, this reread changed my opinion on him.  Everything has been mostly about his plan and such, but it all came across to me as genuine.  I now townread skip.

Didds: Very friendly (reminds me of Eevee in that way).  However, there is actually not much of substance besides that.  She does seem pretty busy so I'll give her a pass, so null for now.

scolapasta: Not too many posts, but tries to contribute with most posts.  However, there is not much to go off of, so null, but leaning town slightly.

LaLight: Holy cow, the lurker.  I didn't realize you have 8 short posts, and that's it.  Votes for joth with no reason, then votes for mail-mi.  Slight scum just for lurking.

Awaclus: Holy cow, another lurker.  He is against the item plans, then votes for skip once the 1v1 pops up.  Recently said he could vote off of the 1v1.  I don't remember him lurking this hard before, so slight scum on him too, but more than LaLight because there's even less substance in his posts.

DatSwan: Not much, really.  Gut feeling is more towny, but brain is telling me that he hasn't really contributed much, leaning more scummy, so I guess I'm in the middle here too.

Joth: Great contributor, so definitely off the chopping block for now.  But I could still see this just being a masterful scum play.  Cautious townread for now.

faust: Maybe I've just been reading too much and my brain is turning to mush, but I didn't see much that would tell me anything about him.  I seem to remember him being hard to read in the past.  Null, I guess.

Joseph: Not said enough to make a decision.

sudgy: obvtown

ADK: I keep forgetting he's in this game.  He's also not really said too much.

Eevee: Not said too much, and has even admitted to it.


I feel like I got tired towards the end there...  Anyway, in conclusion, Vote: mail-mi.  He is on the scummier side of my list, and will be much more likely to be lynched than a lot of the others.  Even if he's town, he has not contributed too much yet (to his own admission) and so we won't lose much if we mislynch him.

So I'm not going to quote the whole wall post but I will address the points made, even though I feel like I've already done so, and I feel like it won't change your mind. Maybe I'll convince Joseph or pasta. I hope it's clear which point I'm responding to with each of my statements.

1)It would be trivially easy to explain my use of the word rope as just a random use of the word rope. Moreover, it is fairly unlikely anyone would have ever even have noticed it. The rope giver would have just given the rope to mail-mi, and that would be that. Why would they scour the thread for crumbs once mail-mi explicitly listed rope? (This is the main reason everyone should know I'm town.)

2)I deliberately waited to counterclaim mail-mi because I didn't want him to know initially that he was the one I was countering, and the only way to do that was by waiting for others to claim.

3)The doubt I was expressing in my post of doubt-expression was that I was unsure if getting a reaction (or non-reaction, as it were) from mail-mi and others was worth the risk of, say, Joseph inadvertently revealing more about the stuff he needs. This was genuine doubt I felt at the time. I made a decision, but I was unsure if it was the right one.

4)You seem to be saying that my reason for doing all this is to get mail-mi lynched and get the rope. I think it's fairly obvious that if mail-mi flips town, I won't be getting the rope.

It's curious that multiple people floated the idea of creating a non-skip/mail-mi wagon, but noone really put any effort into making that happen. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide much insight into the situation; scum has an incentive to behave this way if there is scum among them (they want to get another lynch, but don't want to be seen pushing that angle hard) or not (they are content with the situation, but want to distance themselves).

It will be a good thing to look back on once we know more.

Well, skip v mail-mi here has been a tough decision. And Galz never came back and explained how he felt about ADK, which is a little annoying.

I'm townreading MiX ridiculously hard right now, so I'm tempted to sheep him, but I still don't really buy his skip case. I think he's trying too hard to make the square peg fit in the round hole. In many ways this is like a cop claim situation, where townie A says "I'm a cop and I investigated townie B and he's scum" and townie B says "No, I'm town, so townie A must be lying and saying he's a cop". What do we usually do in that situation? If it's not LyLo, we just lynch townie B, and then we lynch townie A the next day if townie B flips town. Because in our experience, it's very rare for scum to put themselves out there, especially on day 1 when all they need is a mislynch.

So if there's scum amongst mail-mi and skip, it just makes sense to vote for mail-mi, because he was the one who got caught up in this vs the one who initiated this. To me, that's the heart of the matter.

Now, you can ask whether the situation is really analogous. And you can ask whether we really will lynch skip if mail-mi flips town -- I suspect there are many ways for him to wriggle out in that case. And you can ask, as many have, if this 1 v 1 thing is really a thing. But the fact is, this is where we've arrived and I just can't defend the people who are saying 'lynch skip'.

vote: mail-mi. That's L-1.

1) Depends on who has the rope. Besides, I don't think scum can run away from all of these conflicts, I'm sure at least one of them is town vs town, it can't be the only one.

2) Right, but what did you gain with it? From what I'm seeing, you just stalled.

3) I didn't see any deliberation with anyone else regarding the best thing to do. A bunch of people chimed in, but you seemed indifferent, as if you already had the plan to out mail-mi. Which I believe is the correct play, but still.

4) Whoever doesn't give you the Rope is scum. Given no one else needs it, it would be anti-town to not give it to you if mail-mi flips, regardless of what he is.

Alright, caught up. Not as much happened as I expected.

Sudgy, where on the west coast are you? Contrary to my name, I’m in Texas but still San Diego has stayed with me.

Skip, what about you? Where are you located?

(Those questions are just because I like to have a complete map in my head)

Sudgy, I appreciate the careful reread of everyone. I don’t disagree with much you have posted there. Awaclus and Jospeh are noticeable to me for their lack of interaction. LL participated in the have stuff/need stuff conversation that has him more towny for me for now.

My would lynch list is based on lurkiness or lack of helpfulness, but not much that is actually scummy, plus MM who is on the not-as-town side of the 1v1. So:
Mail-mi
Joseph
Awaclus
Galzy

If there is a real desire for folks to shift away from MM, those are the folks for whom I’d move. I’m aroundish from now until deadline.

Which position is that?

Honestly, I was a bit taken aback by people being so quick to follow my plan, but my gut reaction is that getting this kind of thing out there is at least useful in getting the game going

If there is scum in mix and skip: scum is probably in the sidelines, because in that case lynching in the 1v1 is bad for them regardless of which one flips. As someone who was scum in the gladiator game being in position where you're forced into that dichotomy is very uncomfortable, and I think they would want to shift away from that

If it's town vs town... then scum's wherever.

The position that this is town v town, and that MM is on the not-as-town side of it, but that scum is probably just watching.

I think that most people either have stuff or need stuff, so some plan is better than no plan, especially as a counter to Skip’s plan that we just causally mention the time in a post which maybe worked for him but is going to be a lot harder for more obviously valuable items.

Thanks for the insight. I am of the opinion that you are smart, level headed, and observant and are not as easily swayed in the emotion of a moment or exchange as I am, so your take- when I think we are starting from a similar place- is helpful.

So honestly I saw this coming. I mean realistically it was either me or skip. It's skip of course, and you'll see that once I flip town. I made a little case, though it wasn't the most thorough or convincing thing in the world but hey it was a case. I also love how no one has actually seriously made a case on me other than "he's antitown" which isn't much of a case (especially because I wanted to just take some time to have fun because of some other intense games) and being on the other side of the skip 1v1

In fact, isn't it telling how my wagon just formed without a case, while there have been actual cases on skip that have been okay at least and his wagon has just stalled?

I say there's a good mix between the people who are insisting it's a 1v1 and those who are sitting back and letting it happen. I'd have to look back and see exactly who was doing what. From off the top of my head, joth was one of the latter type, and Galz and Eevee.

I reread the first part of the day with Skip. So first it takes him a few posts after mine (there are three of his posts between my list and the one where he brings up that we share an item) and then he lists 3 different possibilities of what it could be. At this point, he is not making it a 1v1 but leaving it open to possibilities. Then he reveals that it's on my list, then votes for me. However, again he is not making this a 1v1 because he says right after he votes me:

Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

So he still isn't intent on making this a 1v1. I think town would be more gungho about a 1v1 because a 1-for-1 trade town-for-scum is much better for town than it is for scum, especially this early on.

Also he allows me to claim the item I need first, so he has a plan on what to go off of. He could have lied and said he doesn't need to rope, so perhaps there are some townpoints there, but not enough to make up for what happened earlier.

There's my skip case, take it or leave it (I prefer you take it cause he's scum)

Also of note that I was the first to pronounce him as scum more definitively, in this post:

Anyway, mail-mi has come back to thread and posted and ignored my revelation so I guess there's no point waiting around any longer.

The item I need appears in mail-mi's list.

Vote: mail-mi


Probably not leaving there for the rest of the day.

Interesting. I listed the item I need plus 4 random ones. I think that makes you more likely scum than town, if you happen to need the same item I do.

vote: skip

So I pushed more for the 1v1 than skip.

Post by: Galzria on April 29, 2020, 10:44:07 am
In regards to why I like my ADK vote:

He first suggested the "plan" that has led us down this road (to an end that I believe is TvT) in post 157:

"Ok, if there are people who need specific items, and we want to try and get them to them, then how about this for a plan: everyone posts a list of five items. If you need an item, you include in your list, alongside four things that you just make up. You don't need an item you just make up five things. If you see an item you have on someone's list, you can make a somewhat informed decision about whether or not to give it to them. Gives people some guidance on giving items while giving scum very little actual information.

Thoughts?"

At first I didn't really think much about the suggestion, as I've stated before - I don't need any items at all (nothing in my PM says that I need or am looking for anything), so this whole exercise didn't really matter to me. But aside from the situation we're in now being an obvious drawback, it's also possible that knowing what items people need benefits scum - they might have items they're forced to give away, and don't want them to go to the correct people. Or they might have the ability to scramble items and want more control. Or maybe they know what certain items do and WANT to pair the item to it's owner for any number of reasons. The whole thing just reeks of control.

I didn't like the way he voted Joth in #187 immediately following Joth's vote of Scola - I thought Joth's point was valid (that it seems a stretch for Scola to be surprised by the concept that scum might have N0 chat), and the way ADK phrased his vote felt off to me - that Joth's argument "comes more often from scum looking for a reason to discredit towncred". I don't know that I can put my finger on it, but it did seem strange. It also stood out to me that his very next post, #215, was questioning why having more than one wagon was a good thing - this post came immediately following Mail-Mi & Joseph voting Scola. So twice in a row he jumped in to try and knock steam out of a Scola wagon.

ADK's response in #243 gave me weird pre-planned vibes, which, along with his questioning of faust's unexplained vote for Skip in #256 just rubbed me the wrong way. This has been the sole data point that I've had that suggests Skip might be scum, and why I prefer him over Mail-Mi.

ADK then votes Mail-Mi over Skip, then Eevee, then MiX in #395 - calling MiX's questioning of Skip asinine (if Skip would self-vote if Mail-Mi flips town). I argued with ADK at the time regarding his statement, but again, he's just felt off in the way he's defended certain people - first Scola, and more recently Skip. Definitely not in a "I'm town that's town reading these people" kind of way.

The last point has occurred after my vote on ADK, but just kind of fits this trend that I've felt from him. His responses just haven't really felt like they're coming from a townie place, his timing has felt weirdly off, his "plan" definitely doesn't feel like it's helped or will help town... and, yeah. That's that.


Between Mail-Mi and Skip, definitely vote: skip. Not convinced it's not TvT, but I have 2 scum reads on Mail-Mi, 1 scum read on Skip, and 1 scum read not voting... so...

Sorry, meant to get that out there last night. Took longer to finish up my work than I thought it would, had a trivia night with Swan & Raptor, and then was just dead tired after. Worked on typing some of it up but just couldn't keep my eyes open. Figured it was better to post it now than not post it at all.

mail-mi, claiming now is best, in case it makes us not want to lynch you.  We don't have time at this point to lynch anybody else, and your stalling is making it more scummy.

Sudgy, I love Portland! Covid stole my the trip we had planned in May. Between wine, beer, edible, and good ice cream it’s the stuff of dreams!

Breakfast is fair. and feels less arbitrary than an hour.

Good morning, Galzy!

The good thing is, I just got to my computer and my poptarts are in the toaster, so I'm good now.

I am a Sailor, and my PM says I'm pretty good with rope and I can tie people up if I get one, which protects them and roleblocks them. So I'm a VT without the rope, a Jailkeeper with it.

Your case was based on a misintepretation, skip pushed the 1v1 more than you.

Cool claim? Do you not have an item?

Skip, are you here? Thoughts?

There are a handful of us here....lynch MM, lynch skip, or no lynch are the most plausible options.

The stuff component make a lynch more consequential than usual (and interesting! Thanks Glooble!) so not lynching is perhaps advantageous.

Unless a ball cap is not at all valuable....

Point of note: Skip is the first to claim an item, in post #100. So before even ADK's plan, Skip is out there claiming stuff. Sounds like a way to goad out other claims, which is scummy.

He also continually clarifies himself about his "I have an item to give to someone plan." I find myself correcting my plans and finetuning them unnecessarily more as scum so I don't get caught with a bad, scummy plan.

Before skip goes for me, he's not pushing a 1v1. He's keeping his options open, asking others about what he should do, etc. Not until after I post does he vote for me, and he does say he's going to leave it there for the rest of the day. So he pushes the 1v1 more than I thought he did, but what else does he do at that point?

He also allows me to claim the item first, leaving all his options open again.

Also, his defense at post 316 is perfect for tomorrow when I flip town. "Come on, you think I'd do this as scum? I'm not that dumb." It's a bunch of WIFOM that doesn't turn out to be a good defense.

Also there's his unreasonable expectation of me, which Galz pointed out, that no other person who posted a list said "Whoa this is a potential 1v1, we should look into this." Not necessarily alignment indicative, but it's still there.

I for one am unimpressed with the claim. A scum jailkeeper is a little weird, but not impossible, especially if this is multiball. And he could absolutely just be a roleblocker. Or it could all be a lie.

I'm a little skeptical that scum would be weak enough that they have to work for their PR(s) but of course we don't have nearly enough info to make that judgement.

That said, if we don't have the votes to lynch mail-mi and we have an hour left... skip? ADK (I liked Galz's case)?

I really doubt we can get a non-skip non-mail-mi lynch through. So if we don't have the votes for mail-mi, I guess I can switch to skip to get a lynch. Maybe skip should claim too at this point?

ppe: a bunch

Eh, he's as likely to be scum as he always is. Basically about as randomly assigned as you can get. Nothing here makes him more town, nothing here makes him more scum. If you want a random lynch over no-lynch, that's about as good as you'll find.

I think I count: Galz, Didds, Sudgy, Joth, Mail, ADK, MiX (7) - as being around. That's one short of a lynch, and isn't my favorite group of people (this game) with whom to be deciding on a random lynch candidate. Definitely a couple of scum reads in there.

Didds, I'm from Portland.

The good thing is, I just got to my computer and my poptarts are in the toaster, so I'm good now.

I am a Sailor, and my PM says I'm pretty good with rope and I can tie people up if I get one, which protects them and roleblocks them. So I'm a VT without the rope, a Jailkeeper with it.
This is exactly my role as well...

Well thanks, but it would also make sense to have one good sailor one bad sailor. I still think I'd prefer to lynch you over anyone else, mostly because I don't know if we can get someone else in 20min.

Whomever has the rope will have to make the call on who is to be trusted with it.

I mean, I'm doubtful that the value of any item is in and of itself worth not lynching somebody. That is, I don't think a No-Lynch is the default play to avoid lynching somebody with an item to give. I assume most people have items to give, so that road doesn't really lead anywhere.

And there's a strong argument that lynching a VT now is better than randomly lynching and hitting a PR instead. Especially given the 20 minutes we have until deadline.

The question then is, on D1 (moreso than most other days, I think), is a VT lynch worse than a no-lynch? What if there's a chance that the assumed VT is scum?

Didds, you don't want to lynch either of the essentially claimed VT's because the items that they hold will be lost - do you honestly think randomly swinging the lynch to Awaclus will have better results? There's a chance he's scum, yes. But there's also a chance he's a PR - and almost a certainty that he too has an item to give... and that he won't get to claim that item.

Normally, I’d say that a VT is way better than a no lynch. But the items part has me confuzzled. I know that I need an item. In the skip/MM role, they need an item. Based on my limited sample size, If VTs get their items, town gets way stronger. So, losing the items is not st a marginal risk. A no lynch to keep the items is an affirmative choice, I think

Fair enough. But there is a greater chance he is scum than skip or mm, who I think are town. Chance at scum v pretty sure town seems reasonable

Back to PC, ready to rumble

mail-mi, claiming now is best, in case it makes us not want to lynch you.  We don't have time at this point to lynch anybody else, and your stalling is making it more scummy.

Didds, I'm from Portland.

The good thing is, I just got to my computer and my poptarts are in the toaster, so I'm good now.

I am a Sailor, and my PM says I'm pretty good with rope and I can tie people up if I get one, which protects them and roleblocks them. So I'm a VT without the rope, a Jailkeeper with it.
This is exactly my role as well...

I don't know whay that means though.

Lol.

One good sailor and one evil sailor? I honestly don't know.

I guess this makes no sense regardless of anything, honestly given my PR I presume both of these are fakeclaims, but what the hell does that mean?

Vote: Awaclus - let's see.

Awaclus is town wtf dudes this is literally random it will never land on scum unless scum's asleep.

PPE some

I can see VTs who have the ability to become PRs with the same item, so the limitation is the availability of the item.

Skip, do you have an item to give? (Just if, not what)

Then one of them does literally nothing I don't get it. There's only 1 rope! Is this setup designed for one of them to be a VT and the other a PR based on charisma?

Vote: Awaclus

No it's not lol. Awaclus is only lynched when he's town, I've seen this countless of times and I've pushed this even more as scum. Awaclus is going to flip town if he is lynched, first law of thermodynamics, only town is CFD this late.

Oh man MiX, you misplayed here, don't put this on us.

Regardless of my information why would you hammer Awaclus he did literally nothing. Who gets the rope now? No one. Excellent.

This conflict will continue and will be solved tomorrow all we did was postpone the inevitable.

Anti-town.

No lynch is anti-town. I would have gone for skip, but I couldn't go back to check the vote count. Had your count been accurate then skip would have been lynched.

Someone flipped over my table as the waiter, the bus boy, the sous-chef, and the host all ran to the back of the cafe, where a man with a handcart was trying to sell them fruit.

"Rope, no rope, who cares!" said the chef. "This guy gave us a rotten shipment of papayas last week! I bet you anything the mob put him up to it!"

"Wait!" said a woman. "You're really gonna kill him just for that?"

"No," said the waiter. "But look at his hat! That thing is hideous."

It really was truly atrocious.

Everyone else looked at each other and shrugged. They still didn't have any rope, so they just stabbed him to death with some cooking knives.

Suddenly I was glad I hadn't ordered any food. No way it would be sanitary.


Awaclus has been lynched. He was a Town-Aligned Compulsive Fruit Vendor. Now none of you get any tasty fruit. Good job.

Night 1 has begun. Night actions are due by 12:20 pm ET on April 30th. Day 2 will began May 1st at 12:20 pm ET.

After the horrible mob justice that was visited on the poor fruitseller, I really didn't think this town could get any worse. Boy was I wrong. In the morning there was a body lying in the main square, blood pooling from a would in his head. Was this a mob killing? Revenge from the fruitsellers relatives? Or maybe something to do with the mystery I was here to unravel?

DatSwan has died. He was a Town-aligned Investigator (modified motion detector/tracker)

Day 2 has begun. It will end at 2 pm ET on Wednesday, May 6th.

Thanks for the notebook skip.

I started the game with a code book. It allowed me to read the coded notebook I got from skip. I'll probably share the contents of the note at some point but I need to do some thinking on the potential ramifications.

In the meantime, though, I would give skip townpoints for giving me the notebook. However, given how yesterday went skip needed all the townpoints he could get, so I'm not ruling out that this was scum trying to buy my love. I'm just saying, if that is the case, it worked a little bit.

Sucks that we lost an investigative role ... hopefully we had more?

joth, were you told who gave you the item? or do you just know it was skip because he said he had it?

Also, a lot of things happened late day, but I find it suspicious that there would be two of the exact same role on the same faction. i.e. I'm still on board with lynching either skip or mail-mi.

I mean, both needing rope sure, but it would be much cooler if they needed it for different reasons.

Lean Skip, as Mail-mi claimed first, and skip just said me too.

I mean, there could be two sailors? But like I said, feels suspicious

What was offered to me was not the item I needed, although I see that it fits the description of not wanting to give to just anyone. So, I was thinking you were scummy for not giving me what I needed, so now you are less scummy for having tried.

So, someone has the item I need, but cannot use it. Unless it’s like the sailor and there are more than one of my me, but my sense is that my luggage is boring for anyone else.

Scum has it...

...what are the odds scum can use it Didds?

I do not think scum would have started with it. I don’t think someone would give it to someone they find scummy.

I am really bad at knowing and guessing scum roles/power/ability are because I’ve got limited experience, but I don’t think scum would need it other than not wanting anyone else to have it.

Unlike the item I tried to give, which of scum has, will certainly be used by scum. Dammit.

LaLight, do you have the option to give someone else items or can you only trade?

i do as everyone in the game.

i thought trading is better cause people can refuse if it's not their item

I wonder if there is two of every role, but only enough stuff for one person to use it.

Based on the wording of my role, I can (mostly, unless Glooble is trolling me) confirm that I’m not the only one of my role in the game (it’s possible there are more than 2 - but a specific phrasing suggests exactly 2). Hence my belief that Mail-Mi/Skip doesn’t necessarily equal 1v1 - however, I very much believe that my “counter” player/power is scum.

Interesting. I had no idea that I had a matching role. I mean, if that's more common, it would make it way too easy to just say "lynch one of the 1v1s" and find all the scum that way. So skip being a counterpart in no way means he's scum.

I don't want to say too much yet, but given what you said you wanted, I was thinking what I had was a part of it.  I was going to say that if it was useful, anybody else who has a similar part should probably give it to you.  But if it's not, then it doesn't matter.

I am leaning more town vs town on skip vs mail-mi, but I could still see one of them being scum (from a design standpoint).  I am even less on the "two people with the same role must be a 1v1" train now that it looks like it's more common.

Definitely interesting thoughts here. I could well be wrong on the "not 2 sailors" path. And true, if there are multiple pairs, then they likely aren't all be 1v1. Unless they're both in opposite scum factions?

But clearly some things can happen without an item, since things were stolen.

I started to answer this by making the meaning explicitly clear (which I’m confident I could do without violating any rules) - but I realized that in doing it would also make pretty clear to the other player with this role that I am exactly what I am - and as I’ve stated my belief that they’re scum, I’m not certain revealing that fully now is wise. I’m open to thoughts on this though.

No good reason. Just curious. I wonder if the item he has would be useful to you? It doesn’t make sense that it would....if you have the same role it would be useless to both of you, but I wonder if there is something important about finding our pair.

Stream of Conscious post:

I'm not sure how, without revealing more than what we want, we need to figure out if pairs are actually a thing.

I also don't think anyone should answers faust's fruit question until he answers it himself. As I see this as another possible scum gambit re: pairs. i.e. if someone else says they got fruit, he could say he also got it, and since Awaclus is gone, there's no way to confirm if that's truthful.

Though trying to sell pairs is a dangerous gambit as once we confirm there are not (if that's the case), we'd have several lynch targets. SO I don't know. I still think it's worth trying to learn though.

Other reasons I doubt pairs:

My item did not seem like an item that would be doubled (i.e. it was not a one word thing like rope or codebook). Neither does the codebook that skip had / joth got.

And the flavor text here (though, I'm not sure how much relevance flavor text should have):
"I swear, I just need some rope to tie up my horse," said the cowboy.
"Wait, a minute, I need rope to hang the curtain back stage at my theater!" said the director.

Seems to imply same item for different purposes. So one thing worth thinking about, is there a standard mafia role that would use the rope, such that skip felt he had to claim paired sailors?

I also don't think we're looking at a game where 50% of the players are scum. If we find that we have say three matching pairs, that might make things very easy for us

Sure, but this was flavor only after we knew there were two people for the rope. So this fits that. But it does specifically imply two different needs for the rope at a time when neither mail-mi or skip told us their specific need.

Not saying this is definitive in any way, but since we have townslip and scumslip, why not modslip?

Hmm, I was about t to respond that passing items happens before night actions. Then I realized that passing fruit is a mafia game standard night action, and not the passing of items that this game involves.

i.e. my initial reason of thinking this was a scum gambit is incorrect.

There could easily be a sailor that works for the mafia. That seems to be the flavor in this game.
So it's like... pirates?!

Uh...not really? Just a sailor that happens to work for the mafia. That's what I'm expecting one of them to flip as.

so, unless i misread and/or forgot something, no one needs an item I have. weird

You can’t use it? It seems like it would be useful to someone

nothing I can do with it.

I tried to give mail-mi the rope, but I was somehow blocked and the rope was stolen from me. I think it's probable whoever stole the rope is scum, and that they aren't the same faction as mail-mi (why would they stop me from giving him the rope if they were?), reinforcing my belief that mail-mi is probably town.

Alright, so Galzria.

First, I mentioned yesterday that he hasn't been scumhunting that much.  I tried to compile all the times he's said anything remotely like scumhunting: here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20294.msg835179#msg835179) (FoS on people for using the 1v1 and an unexplained vote on ADK), here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20294.msg835458#msg835458) (lists people for "various, individual reasons", but doesn't explain of those reasons), here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20294.msg835601#msg835601) (the one good one where he gives a case on ADK), and here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20294.msg835694#msg835694) (where he says he likes the Awaclus lynch more).  There is not much scumhunting at all from him.

What the hell is fence-sitting. Don't you dare introduce big boy words without an explanation.

PPE: Galz, that's exactly what I'm saying. Vote skip with me.

I have a preference if it comes down to one or the other. I’m not stating which that is at this time however.

This post here (which he repeats) seems like a cop-out.  "Oh, I don't want to give my opinion yet because I don't want to have an opinion yet, I'll just pretend to keep it a secret."

Fairly minor, but claiming what you have (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20294.msg834533#msg834533) is anti-town in my opinion.

I've already said this, but I'm not really buying his new explanation (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=20294.msg836235#msg836235) that he's giving today for his arguments yesterday.  It just feels like scum came together last night and were like, "Hey, here's a good idea.  Say this is why you argued against it!" and then he started using that today.  He could have said yesterday that he had reasons that he thought two people needing the same item didn't need to be opposing factions, but he instead went on a rampage about good design.

And, of course, if one of skip/mail-mi is scum, Galz looks even more scummy.  But even if they aren't, then all of what I just said above still stands.

There was something new in the air that day. The previous night’s murder had everyone on edge. And when people are on edge, they don’t trust strangers.

After the... incident with the fruit vendor, that cute little cafe had been shut down by the health inspector (turns out brutal stabbings are okay, but turning around and using the same knife to chop a cucumber is a bridge too far.) So I headed to the only other brunch spot in town- a run-down little diner called Jimmy’s. I had just sat down at a greasy little booth when a familiar dame walked in. I hadn’t seen that face in years, but suddenly the memories came flooding back. I didn’t know what she was doing here, but I knew it couldn’t be a coincidence.


Vote count 2.2:

mail-mi (2): A Drowned Kernel, MiX, LaLight
Galzria (1): sudgy
Not voting (10): mail-mi, Galzria, shraeye, WestCoastDidds, scolapasta, jotheonah, faust, Joseph2302, Eevee

With 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch. Day 2 will end at 2 pm ET on Wednesday, May 6th.

One thing I want to know about setup is how town PRs work*. i.e. as I hypothesized at one point that people who have town PRs can only do things if they get their needed item.

* I'm not saying anyone can answer me directly, because they may not want to reveal their PR

But it does seem likely scum can do things without items. I mean several blocks and steals happened on N1. Unless town could do that without items, of course.

I also was planning on calling out whoever first posted about scum being able to steal and block early in D1, but it turns out that was recently departed DatSwan. :(

so my case on skip continues:

So if scum can do things, wouldn't it make sense for them to claim the same item (and then role) as someone else and then block them from getting it.

I will be sad if we don't lynch one of skip or mail-mi today, or maybe galz. We should have yesterday, before so many moved to awaclus (including all three of the above).

Let's go over the logic: if scum targeted mail-mi with a "steal everything they get", that means they need the rope. Which means skip is scum.

The only reason I'm not voting there is because I think you're scum with mail-mi, but I just realized that makes no sense.

If scum potentially has to pass items to each other then there could be utility to a town stealer. The fact that there's apparently two stealing roles makes me doubt that they're both scum

Looking at the end of the Day, skip's reaction to the double role claim seemed genuine. mail-mi just sort of dropped off the skip wagon and joined on Awaclus for no apparent reason, and I don't see why town!mail-mi would do that. From skip's point of view, mail-mi called out the exact role that he had, and that made him reconsider. From mail-mi's point of view, skip just parroted his claim and there was no reason to change his read.

Also the bit where skip thought he was lynched and scrambled to get his item where it needed to go seemed genuine, so I'm not too interested in that lynch.

Presenting, for your edification, the Awaclus wagon:

Anyone interested in vote: awaclus?

Fits scum avoiding doing anything controversial and just skating by to a T.

Eevee's vote notably before the mail-mi claim which derailed the skip/mail-mi thing.

ADK asks why Awaclus, MiX says lurking, Galz says there's no particular reason to think he's scum

skip expresses a willingness to vote Awa

Vote: Awaclus

I figure it’s somewhat better than random

vote: awaclus

I will not vote Awaclus.

vote: awaclus

(After a couple posts saying that he will vote Awaclus to get a lynch and hoping that something else happens)

Vote: Awaclus - let's see.

vote: awaclus

faust shows up and votes skip, prompting mail-mi and LaLight to move to skip. Then he realizes the skip wagon was smaller at that point than MiX was making it out to be.

Yikes, was this wrong?

Vote: Awaclus

(followed by a mail-mi re-vote)

Vote: Awaclus

vote: awaclus

Note the time stamp, based on Glooble's stated deadline these were basically last possible second votes.

Posting this now, then I'll do analysis.

This makes me believe that Didds is town too, stealing items seeming like a scum power. Could be different scum factions of course, so not definitive but pretty strong evidence.
Well Didds could easily be lying, so "strong evidence" seems like a bit of a stretch, it's just Didds' word that something vaguely towny happened to her.
Not the type of lie I think they'd make, and the way they worded it makes me believe they at least new the way Glooble would word the action. I'd say I'm 80-90% certain that Didds isn't lying about having been swiped mid-give.

Well well well.

Vote: mail-mi

Can you explain this vote more than you have?
Looking at the end of the Day, skip's reaction to the double role claim seemed genuine. mail-mi just sort of dropped off the skip wagon and joined on Awaclus for no apparent reason, and I don't see why town!mail-mi would do that. From skip's point of view, mail-mi called out the exact role that he had, and that made him reconsider. From mail-mi's point of view, skip just parroted his claim and there was no reason to change his read.

Also the bit where skip thought he was lynched and scrambled to get his item where it needed to go seemed genuine, so I'm not too interested in that lynch.
I think you are throwing suspicion towards mail-mi for playing differently than you would, and I think you should know better.

I could go for a faust lynch. I think he tends to be the voice of reason, and I'm disagreeing with most of his reads here.

So, I would be very surprised if this wagon were scum-free. But I'd be surprised if there were a ton of scum on it. This feels like a panic lynch town did to itself.

I missed all the excitement because I had a work meeting at 11.

MiX is probably the most interesting player in the panic lynch because he was so sure Awaclus was town and so against it. Theoretically, it should give him town points but I'm never that sure as town.

Let me go through the votes in order.

Eevee -- IMO, not that scummy. I don't think scum starts an alternate wagon here. If mail-mi skip was town v town they definitely don't. If one of mail-mi skip was scum, I still think probably scum either stays on the town one to try to push it through or stays on the scum one because they've made peace with a bus. Scum has no incentive to play the 'come on, we need a lynch' card, since no lynch is ok for them and mislynch is good. Maybe scum!Eevee does this because he's betting town won't get their act togetehr and they'll end up with a no lynch, but I just find it unlikely.

WCD -- This is a pivotal vote, IMO. It starts a string of what-the-hell might-as-well votes. I think similar reasoning applies to the Eevee vote -- I'm not sure scum wants to derail a perfectly fine thing they've got going with the mail-mi/skip stand-off, and Didds has to know this vote has a decent chance of starting a real wagon.

skip & mail-mi -- these votes are pure opportunistic me-too-ism. I think this is where you most likely find scum on this wagon, though it could also be town. But the fact that we're looking at the two people who were likely to get lynched if this wagon doesn't work out, I don't think we can derive much from their alignment. Frankly, this is the right move for them regardless of alignment, especially if they are starting to doubt each other's scumminess.

Galzria -- Galz is interesting to me because of how much qualifying and dithering he does before putting down a vote. MiX says "I won't vote Awaclus" and doesn't. Everyone else just sort of votes Awaclus with minimal commentary. Only Galz and sudgy are sort of performatively reluctant about the vote. This is a scum tell, but frankly one I would expect Galz to be wise to. Still, everyone has bad days and it was a crazy, panicked hour so I can believe some poor scum play from Galz.

LaLight 1 -- see skip & mail-mi above, except LaLight doesn't have the "him or me" excuse. So I would call this a scummy vote. I think scum has very little downside in moving at this point.

faust, sudgy, LaLight 2 -- these are pure panic votes. they are 'we waited as long as we could, now we need to vote here or we won't have a lynch'. As such, they're not that telling. Especially faust, being the veteran player that he is, makes this vote almost as a reflex action, regardless of alignment. LaLight is just revoting. As for sudgy, well, I think there's a case for putting him in the same boat as Galz. He is the only one who sort of asks "why Awaclus?" then he doesn't get a satisfying answer, then he votes at the last possible second. It's a little less overt then Galz's performative reluctance but it accomplishes the same thing.

So all in all, here's my wagon analysis scum to chum: Galzria, sudgy, LaLight, mail-mi, skip, faust, Eevee, WCD

Honorable mention goes to MiX, whose vehement opposition to the wagon reads slightly  scummy in retrospect.
One might FoS me for being conspicuously absent for all the excitement, and I would accept that as valid. I haven't really looked hard at ADK, Joseph, and scala's actions in the last hour of the day or lack thereof -- there might be something there for someone who wants to investigate on their own. Certainly nothing stood out to me. You could make the case that ADK was positioning himself similar to Galz and sudgy, but didn't need to actually vote so he didn't. But the last-minute-ness of the votes kind of belies that -- by the time he knew he didn't need to vote it was probably too late to do so. So ADK comes out of this towny in my book.

I don't think I am? Not sure where this is coming from. I'm just pointing out that mail-mi was very happy to take an opportunity to get a lynch outside of the 1v1, and that is a thing that any scum would want in his position.

That's true. I momentarily forgot that Skip gave me the notebook. Dunno why scum!skip would do that.

Ok Mr. Smarmypants. All I'm saying is some wagons are very scummy -- i.e. they seem likely to have been started and encouraged by scum. Others are towny -- they seem likely to have been started or encouraged primarily by town. This seems like a towny wagon, though one with a lot of opportunities toward the end for scum to jump on fairly safely to get a town lynch, which is slightly preferable to a no lynch for them. So my read on the wagon is that we largely did it to ourselves, but a scum or two probably hopped on to help us along.

It may or may not be a hot take, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is making an effort to analyze the wagon AT ALL so I thought I would start with the basics.

Also joth, was the you needed both the codebook and notebook to decode correct? Are both items that can be passed? Could anyone decode if they had both items? or just you?

Is this at all tied in with a PR or will this just provide us with some info?

My assumption based on the info I have is that anyone with both could have decoded the message.

How many items did you start with?

To answer other MiX questions: I still think you're townie, but your certainty around the badness of the Awaclus wagon reads scummy. Less so because it's you and you often act sure about things when you aren't, I've learned.

Yes, I started with another item as well. Not likely to answer questions about what it was or whether I still have it. Suffice it to say it's unrelated to the codebook/notebook situation.

I wasn't told explicitly that I needed anything. I assume skip wasn't either. During the end of the day panic, when skip revealed the existence of the notebook, I figured it wouldn't hurt to outright ask him for it. Also, I think skip only claimed to have the notebook because he was behind on reading the thread and thought he was the one who'd been lynched. But you'd have to ask him.

Having a hard time answering this question any more explicitly than I have without veering too close to PM quoting. I didn't know I needed a notebook. I surmised that there was probably some item out there written in code, based on the existence of a codebook. When skip claimed to have a notebook written in code, I figured that was the item. You'll notice that I don't say "notebook" in my breadcrumb I just say "secret code".

Until the start of day 2, I assumed I could not read the notebook. There was no mention of a codebook in my qt. Even when joth mentioned a codebook at the end of day 1, I sort of assumed that was a static part of his role, not an item he could give away.

"Some how I get the feeling you're not here for a nice vacation," I said, looking up from my booth.
"Somehow I get the same feeling about you," said Natalia. She took a long drag on her cigarette.
"Hey, no smoking in here!" said Jimmy from behind the counter. Or least I assume it was Jimmy. For all I know it was just some fry cook. Or a member of the Russian mob. Or the normal mob. In this town, who could say?
"But it's for am-bee-once, Jimmy," said Natalia, intentionally mispronouncing the French word. "Don't you care at all about the am-bee-once?"
God, Natalia had always hated the French. Ever since that night in Paris...
But no, I couldn't afford to get lost on memory lane. I had a mystery to solve. And time wasn't on my side.
Also, that was Jimmy. I made a mental note.

I don't really see galz as scum unless mail-mi is scum. Truth is, I can't really see anybody as scum if mail-mi is town. Maybe joth? Maybe maybe faust? What's giving me pause is that mail-mi got thieved last night, suggesting he's town. But that could be a setup. If it's a lie, eevee would have to be in on it. And it wouldn't make any sense for scum!eevee to have the rope, as that would make me a totally useless as a pr.  And if eevee was lying about having the rope at all, someone would counter. But a setup (by that I mean that scum team targeted scum!mail-mi to give him towncred) also seems a little extraordinary. Adk suggested a town!thief, but that seems mostly negative utility, so I doubt it exists.

This is where my head is at. If it's a bit confusing, it's because I'm confused.

here's what I think.

i am a pawnbroker, I can offer people a trade of items I have and they have. i think it's not really the case of two town pawnbrokers and I think faust is scum one. he is a bot afraid of going 1v1 with me, so he's withholding and said something ambiguous like "i'm not done with you" (sorry quoting hard)

also Joseph, who knows faust's role decided to vote for me for no other reason than 1v1. I also think faust would disapprove his vote. so here goes. let's lynch either of them

This is a setup design question. You can make a setup by carefully designing everything through. In which case, it may not make a lot of sense to have 2 town pawnbrokers. Or you can have a setup idea of "let's have a bunch of double roles" and then determining randomly which of these pairs has scum in it. I don't really know what Glooble would do. But it's dubious to place so much weight in it, now that we know there are multiple double roles.

If I was afraid of going 1v1 against you, I would not have claimed.

Why did you use your role by the way, rather than giving away your item?

as for setup speculation, our roles are unusual from the other roles and i think you know why. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to have two towns like that and i am willing to risk it.

Instead of giving an item, they offer it for a trade: the recieving person has to give an item in return to receive it, but they can decline.

In other words, it's anti-town pro-them.

I think he explained his reasoning in #945.

The first does make sense, in that it gives the recipient the chance to reject it.

A couple of questions and maybe this was already explained:
• do you know what you would get in exchange when you make the offer?
• does the person you offer the trade form know it's coming from you?

It's not that I don't understand why you would trade. It's that I don't understand why you can trade if you don't need anything. It doesn't make any sense game design-wise to have a trader that gains nothing by trading.

Well I thought it was very unlikely to have a pro-town use.

But then I thought it was likely that you'd already get your correct item, and my offer was to make sure there was no miscommunication between you as my item also fits something you said. I could have given it to you, but you weren't too likely to need it and you were plenty likely to be nightkilled, and I didn't want the item to be lost if I give it to you and you don't even need it.

As to why this role is in the game, I cannot say. I first thought I simply wouldn't use it once I realized I could just give items. I then found a situation where using it seemed beneficial, but only very marginally so.

I think of this as basically another VT variant. It's not like scum could use the role to their advantage much more than town could.

I just mean if it's town v town, I have a hard time seeing the scum narrative of most players. I doubt that scum would push one player hard/ totally commit to one side in that situation so that would rule out adk, LaLight, mix, Joseph, sudgy, and pasta. Galz and eevee more or less totally dismissed the whole thing. And didds also seemed unwilling to think either of us were scum.

Obviously this is not conclusive, I'm just saying the scum narrative is hard for me to see.

It is possible eevee was targeted. It's just that as far as I can tell, eevee made no mention of having any item at all, let alone the rope. (Let me know if I missed something, eevee.) I would think that some of the people who claimed to have items would be targeted first. Like me, galz, LaLight, and maybe others I don't remember.

I'm very self-centered.

MiX is probably the most interesting player in the panic lynch because he was so sure Awaclus was town and so against it. Theoretically, it should give him town points but I'm never that sure as town.

Honorable mention goes to MiX, whose vehement opposition to the wagon reads slightly  scummy in retrospect.

This is a non-read. I'm flattered that you're forced to talk about me without having anything to say, but what's your take?

Also I see a lack of a vote after such an analysis, Who is scummiest?

Galzria, who I'm already voting for. Convenient.

Are you saying you don't want to Lynch in mail-mi/skip today? Because earlier you expressed a willingness to vote for skip

Where did you get that from?


Does that mean you could pass both to people who you think are town and selectively reveal the message?


I suppose I could. Not sure that that has a ton of utility though.

I could do a skip lynch. I'm not like dead sure he's scum, but he has certainly been scummy and people made some convincing cases yesterday.

I think stopping scum from getting items is futile and random and will steal items from town more often than not.

At this point I would like a town thief massclaim, but it's technically better tomorrow.

Roleblocker is like a tracker, they can semi-IC people eventually, and if they pick scum they usually know, or at the very least they stop a kill. Vigs flip the target regardless of their alignment which is pro-town.

But I get it. I just don't think it's worth stealing items from town. Scum's most likely going to get everything they need anyway, the only way to stop that is for town to deliberately not give someone the item they need because they scumread him. And, well, you don't need a thief for that.

didn't tell yet, why?
I thought from the chat you had
And if no one else wants it, can you send it to me? It may be what I'm looking for, but my list was very vague D1

It has to do with the items that I think Joseph and I are both seeking. I don't want to say more unless Joseph first claims what he knows about the items in question. If Joseph does, then I'll tell you all what I know. And I'll tell you why I wanted Joseph to claim first.

If Joseph doesn't want to claim, that's fine, we'll just both keep our mouths shut for now. Honestly I don't think this whole thing is particularly likely to help us catch scum today, so it's probably not what we should all be focused on with less than 24 hours to go.

Don't you want all the pieces? Doesn't joth?

I'd actually say in that sense joth is a more risky target, since he also already has deciphered a code. I'd call that consolidating power, personally.

And the alternatives are lynching mail-mi or Galz, never faust.

Llam-mi.... could I be the one who needs your item?
Mail-mi already claimed his item. Did you miss it or is this sarcasm?

Missed it. What was it? I’m on my phone so searching is hard

Your case was based on a misintepretation, skip pushed the 1v1 more than you.

Cool claim? Do you not have an item?

Skip, are you here? Thoughts?

Let me go reread Skip right around that time again without the misinterpretation.

I have an item. It's a Baseball Cap. It doesn't do anything for me.
Here it is.

LaLight's way more likely to do that as town, why are we voting for him?

because scum sees the easy wagon.

vote: faust

Self-voting. Oy. LaLight, you know this is a terrible plan right?

i mean if this convinces you faust is scum, it's the same 1v1 as it is now.

Ok how do you know faust is scum.

And how do you expect people to follow your lead if you self vote.

I should be around for deadline (though I do have a meeting at 2).

I'm still up for galz, skip, or 3rd choice mail-mi. Would also consider faust.

Baseball cap - could maybe be IC? (i.e. if the right person gets it? But if that were true, seems like they could just ask for it and why not give it to them if it's mod confirmed). So alternatively, maybe whoever has it is seen as town, even if they're not? (is that "godfather" role)

Anyway, just mindless speculation, while I wait for Colbert.

Yes.

Let's not do the 1v1 scramble like yesterday. I don't think we're gonna be able to solve the setup.

I'll do some reading tomorrow (hopefully) and see where I want to put a vote. I'd be willing to join galz, would vote skip if I have to. Probably prefer Faust if we have to do Faust v lalight.

Sorry I haven't been posting much, I've been reading but haven't thought of anything to contribute.  I agree that I don't think we can solve the setup at this point and with the number of "1v1"s that have come out I don't think we should be forced to look in those.  I'll be around tomorrow.  I've already said that I want to lynch Galzria, but could possibly go to some of the other people.

Can we at least agree not to wait until the literal last second to lynch this time?

At least Eevee seems to townread LaLight then if you believe in a 1v1 the vote kind of makes sense. But ADK... like he voted LaLight after the self-vote, and then switched to me? How does that make sense?

I'll be really surprised if town decides that's the way to go. So if mail-mi (or me, god forbid) gets lynched, let the record stand that I think any townie participating in it was using some weird logic -> for once I feel comfortable (pre-emptively) calling the wagon scummy!

I ISO'd Galzria's D2. Obviously not obv!town, but I like it. Given the fact no one else claimed to be his role (unless I missed something, I'm sure there's someone else out there that knows that they must be partnered with someone else, as Galzria knows that) that tells me it is indeed a 1v1 and scum's hiding from Galz, which means he's town.

So, yeah.

PPE 2: That answers you?

I could see scum!Galz claiming that for town points, at least enough to make it plausible.

Then he's inevitably caught. Meh.

I'll read your case now.

Read it. Don't like it. He's been scumhunting and pushing what town!Galzria would know to push given his claimed role. I don't see the inconsistencies.

Lynching Galz is a lazy lynch, and lazy lynches don't often end up being good lynches, because scum can hide in the wagons more easily

If Galz had claimed on D1 I would be way less suspicious.  His claim at the beginning of D2 screamed to me that he had just finished talking to his scumbuddies about some new plan.

Post by: MiX on May 06, 2020, 01:20:41 pm
So let's see why everyone is town and shouldn't be lynched.

Mail-mi: Was robbed. Why would scum target Eevee out of nowhere? That means they most likely targeted mail-mi, which means he's town.

Skip: Why would he claim to have the notebook instead of to need the codebook? Weak, but that's all I can think of.

Galzria: Claims to have a role that he knows there's more than 1 of, no one else claims such knowledge.

faust: Let's not.

Eevee: Was robbed, or claimed to have an item that town needs, there's no reason to say that you had the rope if you wanted to explain no one having it with "I was robbed". Unecessary suspicion. Also can't be scum with mail-mi or skip.

Joseph: Let's not.

Didds: Has my item, if scum had my item my role would be flawed. Was robbed as well

MiX: Was robbed, why rob either Didds or me if I'm scum and I'm getting what I want? Makes no sense. Not to mention things are going to get crazy in a bit, which makes me more town, but I guess that's not as solid as "was robbed"

Scola: Has one of the 3 pieces of Exodia. I'd rather let that play out.

Joth: Has the books of wisdom. If they're important, scum NKs them. Let's not do their work for them.


Who's left: sudgy, ADK, LaLight

I see...we should lynch one of these 3. As LaLight wants to die:

Vote: LaLight

On the "who's left" list, skip should also be there. Also willing to do that.

Out of sudgy and ADK, ADK's the one that seems to be pushing an agenda, so I'd rather go for him.

People wanting to lynch mail-mi:

Do you think I'm lying about trying to give an item to him but being intercepted or that some unclaimed town power made that happen or that scum intercepted me giving an item to one of theirs?
Honestly I can't go ten minutes without double-guessing and triple-guessing myself on this point. It's possible scum targeted you. Is it likely? Dunno. Apparently you used the word rope? That definitely makes the scenario more plausible.

A few hours later, as we lay together on my crummy motel bed, Natalia stood up and pulled out a gun.
"Where did that even come from?" I asked. "You were literally naked?"
"Oh I don't think that's the question you should be asking," said Natalia. "The question you should be asking is, do you have what my boss wants?"
"It doesn't have to be like this, Natalia," I said.
"Oh, but I think it does," she said, shaking her head.

I needed to keep her talking. These old motel beds were cheap, and I'd heard this one creaking a lot during our... exercise earlier.
"It would really help," I said, reaching down and twisting a piece of metal under the bed frame, "If I knew what your bosses were looking for."
"Nice try," said Natalie, brandishing the gun. "But I think you do know. Now tell me, before I do this the hard way."
"Well, this was fun," I said, "But I have to BOLT!"
And with that I pulled the bolt out of the bed frame, causing it to collapse under me. Natalia fired a shot, but it went right to where my head had been a minute ago. In the confusion I managed to throw myself out the window.
I ran down the street, naked except for the sheet I was wrapped in... right into another freaking angry mob. I swear, this town.

On the plus side, the mob made it easier to lose Natalia. I tied the sheet into a fashionable toga and tried to blend into the crowd as they strung up some poor soul in an improvised gallows. There was some confusion as they thought for a while they might not have a hammer to finish assembling the thing, but at the last minute, a hammer appeared.


Final Vote Count

Galzria (7): sudgy, jotheonah, scolapasta, WestCoastDidds, Eevee, mail-mi, MiX

Sure. Of course, but when theres 5 new messages every new minute? I mean you misread scola and skip during a much calmer period.

Anyway, are you saying you only switched to galz because I answered that? You would have preferred a no lynch? No one else was going to get there.

"So what'd this guy do anyway?" I asked someone in the mob.
"He dug up graves!" said the man. "In the cemetery! That's icky."
"Wait, that was his job though," said another man.
"Still gross!" said the first one.


Galzria has been lynched. He was a Town-aligned Graverobber. Night 2 begins now, and will end at 2:20 pm ET on Friday, May 8th. Please submit all night actions by Tomorrow, May 7th, at 2:20 pm.

I couldn't go back to my motel room- not with Natalia and whoever she was working for sniffing around. But I figured, I needed somewhere to go to ground and this guy wasn't using his place, so I holed up for the night in Gravedigger Galzria's cottage by the cemetary. That's why I was there when they dragged WestCoastDidds' body in.

"You, dig her a grave!" said one of the burly men. "And while you're at it, dig one for that gravedigger! Hey why hasn't anyone done that yet?"

"Hmm, I wonder," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. But I guess the man's skull was too thick for the sarcasm to make it through.

"Look, you're in the gravediggers hut, so get digging. Or find someplace else to squat!"

I decided to find someplace else to squat. No idea what happened to the bodies.


WestCoastDidds has died. She was a Town-aligned Modified Doctor

Day 3 has begun. It will end at 2:30 pm ET on Wednesday, May 13th.

Not voting (11): MiX, mail-mi, skip wooznum, scolapasta, LaLight, jotheonah, faust, Joseph2302, sudgy, A Drowned Kernel, Eevee

aight

It's a pocket knife.

Here:

I need something. Whomever has it will likely want to be sure before they give it to the right person. Whomever has it now probably can’t do anything with it.  It has two words.

I also have something that I cannot use, but is valuable to whomever can.

I was sure Didds needed exactly it.

Thanks.

Why?

Because I wtill think he is scum. Other than the reason I already told, that I think that out of all the roles, the doubles of me and faust has the highest likelyhood to be town/scum, there's also the reason he didn't think about this and didn't force 1v1 with me, which I think indicates that he is, indeed, scum who didn't want to trade his life for mine.

Other than that there is the weakest point of "it's already D3 and faust is alive" and the other point that we didn't lynch scum yet, which means scumteam is strong and the strongest scum I know in this game (sorry to everyone else) is faust.

Also what did he even do? vote for me for selfvoting? Lay scumhunting, I would say. Town!faust would have done much more than that to this point.

We can solve the game in 5 days as long as Galzria doesn't lurk. Which is to say, we can.

I'll stop talking to people that I've talked to now to reduce post count. Help me do this, somehow.

I'm pretty sure he's the thief and he has 2/3 pieces of the owl, and we really don't want him to live to steal the third. If we don't lynch him, than I would recommend one of our sailor bois tie him up, if either of them ever managed to get their hands on that rope.

We don't think there's a town thief right? It definitely seems like a scum role.

If I get it, then I count as winning, leave town, but can give all my other items away. And this doesn't affect if town or scum wins i.e. the game continues for everyone else

what did you steal from didds?
Random, but she was the most anti me D1

Why didn't you give it to me?
Didn't have a choice, stole it and only found out what is was at the end of N1

I stole from joth instead, because it's better for me

I can't steal and trade on same night, it's 1 and only 1 of {steal, grave Rob, trade} every night. And so when I know joth had something I want, steal is better

Incidentally, do you have the copper owl? If so, we can trade and I'll give you WCD's item

usually it's the role that can get the items from dead people, I guess

in other news, I didn't trade, I gave my item away to one person of those who didn't claim what they needed whom I townread the most. I don't know if they need my item, but I couldn't trade with them I think.

If you're not gonna say who has it, is there any reason not to say what it is?

It's a pocket knife.

Here:

I need something. Whomever has it will likely want to be sure before they give it to the right person. Whomever has it now probably can’t do anything with it.  It has two words.

I also have something that I cannot use, but is valuable to whomever can.

I was sure Didds needed exactly it.

I don't know what it does. Flavor text says paraphrasingly that you can use it to save yourself from trouble.

No, otherwise I would've just called Joseph scum lol.

I need something Joseph stole that he doesn't need but didn't share either. I think that makes him scum, because survivor doesn't...care...and it can't hurt him to claim to give it to me.

I stole from Didds, was random with a 3/14 chance of getting what I wanted
And I was planning to give the item away N2, but then joth told me they had an owl piece. Surely everyone can see how someone with a win condition of "get all 3 owl pieces" is incentivised to get another owl piece rather than help others?

Maybe I don't know, call it backseat modding or something.

What matters is that Joseph is not mafia. And he also can't win without mafia, because they stole one piece of the owl. So now we're at an impasse.

The impasse is lynch Joseph while people claim stuff about themselves. Or lynch mafia and hope I actually get to use Joseph's item. But if we mislynch we most likely lose, chances are this was a 4 mafia setup (probably traitor) and we're at 6/4/1.

I think Joseph is probably telling the truth. The notebook I decided, which Another town player will be able to verify once I send them the codebook, says that whoever collects all three pieces of the bird will win the game— as an individual, not a team. Also, and I think this is flavor-relevant, it’s the journal of an archaeologist who came to this town to retrieve the final piece and assemble the owl. I think Joseph is probably that guy.

At first I thought Joseph’s claim wasn’t probably false, since it would be weird for him to have one less win con then everyone else. But the fact is, even if he’s scum, it’s ok to give him the bird, because an individual victory will remove him from the game, which would be very much like a scum kill for the arithmetic of the game. So not only should we not lynch Joseph, I think we should maybe lynch elsewhere and — if we hit scum— whoever has the final piece should give it to him. I think a shared win is totally acceptable for town at this point over a loss. Although maybe that’s bad for math of Joseph really is third party. Someone else math this.

Anyway, unvote for now.

Venturing out into the town, I couldn't help but overhear the chatter. It sounded like the cat was out of the bag as far as the owl was concerned. Or the owl was out of the bag about the cat? But what was the owl? Who else was looking for it? And what would happen if one of them found it before I could? I needed more information. Also more whiskey. But information was hard to come by, and I knew exactly where to get the whiskey. So I settled on that, and headed for the bar.

Joth, can you say everything you know about the codebook? Everything, every detail, if I have to ask follow up questions you're scum.

This is important for me to know your alignment.

All I know about the codebook is that I started the game with it, that it is full of cyphers, and that I was able to use it to decode the notebook.

@joth, are you saying that anyone with the three pieces (and not just joseph) wins?

That’s my understanding from the notebook, although it’s also possible that you have to have all three pieces plus the decoded notebook— that is you have to “activate” the win con.

Have you decoded the entire notebook? i.e. is it possible there are multiple things to decipher and you have deciphered one. I think this is unlikely, but thought I'd toss it out there.

This seems strange to me - we already now that some roles (at least generous townies) have to give an item away. So it woul be extremely hard for them to get all three pieces.

Something doesn't smell right here.

Given this is RMM, it's somewhat likely that there's few Generous townies. It's also likely that the notebook information only works for Joseph, although less so.

I just find the whole thing off, and I don't think joth and Joseph are both telling the truth.

It doesn't make a lot of sense for one of them to be scum and seeking the item, because if they did that, then their partners would know they're trying to betray them.

And also, scum stole one of the pieces from me. That wasn't Joseph. It would only have been joth if he was scum, but if scum knew about the owl, then they wouldn't want one of theirs to get a hold of it, so how is this order submitted?

I have doubts about the owl being a wincon-enabler at all.

Scum stole from you without knowing what you had. You think they're BOTH scum? I think everything makes sense: there's a 3-piece item that makes someone win, except there's 1 third-party with the tools to do this, as town doesn't have enough power and scum won't coordinate to do this. Everything seems fine.

I feel like you assumed I was scum when making this theory.

Sure, but non generous townies are already more interesting to play, than generous townies. Why give them even one more thing to play for? the only way a generous townie could win via the owl (if this claim is true) would be to have three separate people give it to them.

I guess what I'm saying is I don't believe anyone can win with it, or maybe no one can.

ppe - same doubts as faust

I mean , I guess there's the aspect of town not wanting any other town to get them or else we'd lose one member. And similarly for scum.

Still seems less likely. But not sure why joth would make that up.

So, I've think I've stated at least some of this before, but just in case.

I started with one piece (though at the time it wasn't clear to me, though maybe should have been that it was only a piece. Noticed statue on joseph's list, wasn't sure I could trust, chose to give to joth instead.

Joth who are you giving the codebook to and how can we organize it without telling scum?

Also, do we care that scum knows, best they can do is kill them or learn nothing.

We also need to hear SOMETHING from sudgy or ADK, because scum are the ones that say absolutely nothing about themselves.

I presume both of them are scum, but I have nothing to attack them with other than this.

We can go over another "why is everyone town", this time in order:

Eevee: Had the rope, if scum has the rope why would they claim that? And if they're scum, so is faust, and they would both have to lie about being robbed. This is very unlikely.

faust: Was robbed. We know there's 2 thieves because of Eevee and Didds both claiming that D2, and now we have a third-party claiming one of them. This means there's a scum thief. Now, they either did nothing, which I doubt, or they stole from faust, which makes him not mafia. I also don't think there can be any other third-party with Joseph telling the truth, as they could easily try to get the owl anyway. Thus faust has to be town.

Joseph: Claimed non-town, so he's not mafia. Besides, I want my item, and I think he's telling the truth about forgetting he could give it to me. Worst case scenario scum has to fakeclaim to have it been robbed, best case scenario scum has to steal it while town gets to do other things. Win-win in my book. Let's not lynch him.

MiX: Didds has my item, scum stole from faust, why would they steal an owl piece? They have no usage for it. This tells me scum didn't know what it was, which means I'm town. You can entertain the idea that town having what I need is very amusing, but on the other hand when I claim you'll see why this would be bad design if I had my power as scum.

Joth: Gave me the notebook if you didn't notice, told the truth about the owl, tried to get the owl for himself which is strictly anti-scum if he's scum.

So, who's left?

mail-mi/skip: One of these is town, sure, but not the other one. Mail-mi claimed to have a baseball cap, but I presume no one needs it, as I haven't heard anything about it since. So...what gives? Fakeclaim? Skip gave the codebook, but that's an item I think scum could easily have, as all it does is give information about a third-party. One of them is being a jailkeeper, so we should somehow find out which is scum.

LaLight: Second pawnbroker, had a piece of the owl alongside scola and faust, I don't think they can all be town. The self vote and intentional 1v1 on faust tells me they aren't playing for a town win.

scola: Claimed to have an owl piece, but nothing else. Can easily be scum laying low, although at least they said something.

sudgy/ADK: Claimed nothing, I presume one of these is the scum graverobber, waiting to get something from the grave to know what to claim, especially since we have no idea what Swan had.

Preferred action of the day: have sudgy/ADK claim something, then look into mail-mi and skip to see who's scum. Maybe have a scola fullclaim as I really don't like his day play from what I can remember.

We also need more talk about people and not just those that talk the most. Today's been about Joseph, but he's not the lynch. So let's focus elsewhere.

Scola started the game with piece B, gave it to joth N1, stolen by Joseph N2.
Faust started the game with piece C, offered to trade with mix N1 (mix declined), stolen by unknown N2.

I thought he said somewhere that he has two pieces, and nobody else claimed to give any to him.

I don't know. I'm working my way through your "why is everyone town" and I agree with most of it. Otoh, I was hard townreading adk and LL. It occurs to me that the owl might have some different effect in scum's hands, which means joth might be scum. Scola and sudgy are also good candidates. And then there's always mail-mi!

My scumread on LL is giving way to sudgy/skip scumteam. sudgy defends skip all day and pushes mislynches.

Vote: skip and I'd like a claim from sudgy in their next post.

Oh no, one person voted for me, I have to claim!  Not happening, unless we're doing a massclaim or something.  I will say (since I've already hinted at it) that I started the game with an owl piece and gave it to Joseph.

See you did claim in your next post.

Reread D1 and D2, lynch order:

Sudgy: Pushes mislynches, read D2 for Galzria push all day, zero regrets today, look at how he defended the 1v1 D1, and then skip once he had to make a decision (he voted mail-mi), seems to be helping scum much more than town.

LaLight: Forcing a 1v1 on faust which is essencially a smokescreen and anti-ton, self votes for AtE, terrible reads, on mail-mi's wagon a bunch.

Skip: Scummier of the D1 1v1, mostly because I think he's sudgy's partner.

mail-mi: Cap is useless, hasn't given it away I presume, no one needs it, we need to close the conflict with skip, likely to be scum if skip's town.

Scola: D2 push on Galzria, not doing much, not as town as most.

ADK: Out of the non-town, he's the one pushing the best things and overall looks townier.

Joseph: Well he's not town, so if we must, we can do this.

Post by: Joseph2302 on May 10, 2020, 03:57:18 pm
So the story with the owl is:

Joseph started the game with piece A, still has it.
Scola started the game with piece B, gave it to joth N1, stolen by Joseph N2.
Faust started the game with piece C, offered to trade with mix N1 (mix declined), stolen by unknown N2.

Is this an accurate and complete account?

Joseph started with a piece? I guess that makes sense balance-wise.

Who's scum?
I thought he said somewhere that he has two pieces, and nobody else claimed to give any to him.

I don't know. I'm working my way through your "why is everyone town" and I agree with most of it. Otoh, I was hard townreading adk and LL. It occurs to me that the owl might have some different effect in scum's hands, which means joth might be scum. Scola and sudgy are also good candidates. And then there's always mail-mi!

Ppe
I started with 0 pieces
Was given one N1 and stole one N2

Everyone but Joseph has claimed to start with exactly 1 item. This seems to make sense. For me it clears the chance he's scum, although I'm fairly sure there's more items than what have been claimed.

For example, I can't find what Didds wanted. Maybe Swan had it?

At the bar, there was another heated conversation going on. Seemed like everyone thought they knew exactly who the mafiosos were. Only problem was, no two people had the same suspect in mind. I kept an eye on the door, but there was no sign of Natalia or the Russian and his goons. Was one of their accomplices hiding in this very bar? Or were these patrons getting ready to string up another innocent townie?

And more importantly, where was the rest of that owl?.

Dunno if it's an owl, I just know it's for some kind of bird. It got stolen from me last night. MiX was the only person who knew I had it.

How did you not know it was for an owl? What DID you know?

Whoever doesn't want me to make 1 post per quote+question, just say so.
As stated, I know that it was made of Copper, and that it belonged to a bird. I suppose I am not ornithologist enough to deduce what bird based on the piece of the bird I had.

Items unaccounted for: The items Didds and Swan needed.
Items without known function: Magnifying Glass (ADK), Baseball Cap (mail-mi), Knife (LaLight)

We can be relatively certain that the Baseball Cap and the Knife were not the things that Didds needed, or she would have said something. The Magnifying Glass might have been. It is reasonable to assume that Awaclus did not need an item, since a) his role did not have a "Modified" part, and b) he would have claimed so

We also know that there is a least one Generous Townie in the game, and there are only 4 people left who could be Generous Townies.

The Knife is confirmed to be in the game. Unlike the Baseball Cap, for which we have no reason to assume it is even a thing.

I am also going to assume that there are at least 2 Generous Townies, which means 2 out of 4 from Eevee/ADK/sudgy/scola would be town. Most of these are who MiX pushes as scum, which doesn't leave me with a great feeling either.

If anyone started with more than 1 item, now would be the time to claim as such.

sudgy or scola is scum, mail-mi or skip is scum, LL is scum, this looks correct.

Hm. The money is a second item we have no clear use for. It could well be something scum needs.

There is also an angle where scum needs the baseball cap, I suppose.

Vote: LaLight

Mostly because (A) we need a wagon today and (B) I am ridiculously sure MiX is town and I like his reasoning, and faust is generally a strong player who I’m also townreading, though less strongly, so this seems like the right place to sheep. If I have time to do some rereading of LaLight of my own I’ll do that today.

I mean I didn't know it was a part of a statue, I did assume it was the statue and didn't trust Joseph enough.

I would've kept it myself, but I had to give an object away each night; I am a generous townie.

(hopefully claiming today make sense)

If what Joseph says is true, why don't we have him stick around and help us lynch scum? i.e. have him give one piece to someone who is most town (MiX). After we've gotten rid of some scum, we'll give him that piece. Win / win.

Well, not much I can do about that. Except point out that the very setup describes this role, the generous towny. So we know boring roles like mine exist. Would it be less boring if it started out with a different item? I still would've had to give it away.

I know you won't listen to me because you think I'm scum, but scola's situation is exactly mine.  I guess I will claim now, I'm a generous townie, and started with an owl piece.  His situation is identical to mine.

That's strange, because mine said that it was part of an owl.

Sure, but if you had the head, it would make sense you would know it was an Owl. Without the head, it was just a bird to me (and I assume faust).

I think everybody else (that is not a generous townie) are not required to give away items.

I did ask that question a few times, no one confirmed either way, but it does seem like it.

OK. I agree that is boring. Read all the above I've posted.

And you're asserting I'm scum, because that's too boring.

Well, not much I can do about that. Except point out that the very setup describes this role, the generous towny. So we know boring roles like mine exist. Would it be less boring if it started out with a different item? I still would've had to give it away.

Yes.

I'm fairly sure you're scum because I'm infinitely more powerful than you, and that's super boring for you if you're actually town.

I mean I get MiX's opinion that this is boring (and agree), but again, it says it right in the set up. Some of us will be generous townies with no other power:

You are a Generous Townie. You have no special powers. Your weapon is your vote. At night, if you have at least one item, you must give at least one item to another player (unless this is overwritten by the item description.)

I mean once we know this exists, how do you make it less boring?

Everyone but Joseph has claimed to start with exactly 1 item. This seems to make sense. For me it clears the chance he's scum, although I'm fairly sure there's more items than what have been claimed.

For example, I can't find what Didds wanted. Maybe Swan had it?
Okay clarification needed: I started with 1 item, but it's not useful to me
Or anyone else based on what people have said

Do you still have it?
Yes

OK, ADK is scum. I received nothing.

And everyone else who tried giving an item but was intercepted was told that it was intercepted. (right?)

I do agree with MiX that scum might be willing to enter a 1v1 based on #s here. But one way to help prove my innocence would be for other generous townies to claim. I mean, how many can there be?

Also, ADK, why give it to me? I didn't claim any needed item. DatSwan at least had a telescope in his list, and that may have been a roundabout way of hinting at a magnifying glass. Did you not trust them (like I didn't Joseph). But then why me?

As scum, why would I say I did not receive the item (and immediately have a provable lie to ADK)?

If I didn't want anyone to have it, it'd be better to just say I got it and gave it away in N2. As scum, I would even have known who "we" were going to NK and claim to give to that person, so it'd be lost. (after all, town graverobber is dead).

I agree, that the hinting idea is might just be plain wrong. I'm only basing this on after the fact that:
• Swan was a modified* motion detector / tracker
• claimed to need the telescope (none of the other items seem relevant, but who knows?)
• no one else said they needed a magnifying glass (though not everyone made lists)
• magnifying glass is reasonable close to telescope, at least in concept

* maybe this was obvious to others already, but "modified" to me seems like you are your PR, if/when you get your item.

I had a very redundant system for making sure this didn't happen and I have no idea how it failed.

You're saying it affects whoever is holding the knife? But you don't k ow what? In the case of the hat, it seemed Awaclus knew what the passive ability was. Why wouldn't that happen here too?

All I know is that it gives me a passive ability, but that I don't know what it does (it can be useful to get out of certain situations or something like that, don't quite remember the wording).  I'm guessing Awaclus' case is different from the knife and the hat.

We know that the rope is used to tie people up. When people get tied up in the movies, don't they usually cut themselves out with a knife the bad guy didn't know they had?

maybe the knife is a counter to the rope -- it passively makes the holder un-jailkeepable.

Good thought - I wonder if it could also make you unlynchable? (maybe as a 1-shot)

And I was thinking about these passive items; it could make sense for the ugly hat to tell you what it does (makes you hated), as that's something you don't want. Whereas if it's passive and good, there'd be no reason to give it away (unless your generous, of course, but at some point some non generous person would get it).

I ask this because the description of the magnifying glass (paraphrased) talks about seeing object up close, so if that's all you know, I could see Swan thinking telescope, instead of magnifying glass.

Mine is very explicit, to the point where I could add the letters of what I have and what I need to answer Didds back in D1.

Ah, right, good point. I suspected as much.

Still a mystery then. If only I had something that could be investigate that more. /dumbjoke

Also, those of you who need items, how specifically does it explain what you need?

I think it's possible Swan didn't know his item exactly. This setup doesn't seem to be internally consistent, which can be a good thing, as it helps scum fakeclaims, or a bad thing, as we have no idea what Swan knew.

but who needs a knife? that's weird

Glooble told me it has a passive ability, so I'm guessing that it's something similar to the hat.

Also, sorry guys, but my homework is harder than I thought.  I'll still try to get my thoughts out there some time tonight, but it will be later than I originally thought.

what?! i didn't know that

I asked for clarification because the description of the knife sounded like I could maybe do things with it, and it was then that Glooble told me it has a passive ability.  I'm thinking that was just an accident on his part.

I have been rereading, but it's been taking a while.  I'll get it finished somehow.

Well, I'd still rather we vote for you today, but that didn't seem to be going anywhere.

There are a few reasons, which together added up enough, that it seemed like an acceptable 2nd choice:
• the self vote
• the 1v1 vs faust
• the  fact that I do currently read MiX as town, so am willing to sheep him, at least for a day

Question to Joseph: What three things on your list had to do with a copper owl?  Only the statue makes sense to me.
Question to faust: You listed items you needed, but you don't seem to need anything.  What was that all about?
Notable: a lot of people claimed to not need things.  This might be useful to know.
Notable: Joth is the only person to have claimed to start with two things.  Is this scummy?

I think for your question on Joth, it's pretty NAI, maybe slightly townie (if it's true) because from a mod perspective I wouldn't want to put too many items in scum's hands at the beginning of the game.

Answering unknowns from sudgy: faust did try to trade me an owl piece, specifically the Wings, so we can name the individual owl pieces (there's a Head, Wings and ??? from what I've seen).

Oh, I see, but joth still did claim to have another item:

Yes, I started with another item as well. Not likely to answer questions about what it was or whether I still have it. Suffice it to say it's unrelated to the codebook/notebook situation.

Post by: sudgy on May 12, 2020, 07:00:24 pm
I'm going to go through every player say everything that happened with them, and then try to think of a town narrative and a scum narrative for each player.

MiX: hints at a lot of power, but hasn't claimed anything.  Refused a trade from faust for possibly an owl piece N1.  Not really much to say here.

mail-mi: Everything on D1 with the rope, Eevee failed to give him the rope, and it seems he still has the baseball cap.  Everything makes sense as town.  As scum, things make a bit less sense, but scum could have just targeted Eevee to steal, and it seems like this is how it would be because it's how Joseph works.  In the end, I think it's NAI.

skip: The other sailor on D1, and gave the notebook to joth N1.  Unless they're scumbuddies (in which case they wouldn't coordinate in-thread), this makes more sense as town than as scum.  A power that involves the combination of two items seems powerful, so skip wouldn't want joth to get it as scum.  So, skip is town.

scola: Claimed GT, gave an owl piece to joth N1 (didn't want to give it to Joseph), received magnifying glass N1.  As scum, why would he give the owl piece away?  Again, like skip, scola is town.

LaLight: Claimed pawnbroker, tried to trade pocket knife with Didds N1, gave pocket knife to me N2.  Again, like the others, this seems more town.

Joth: Claimed non-GT, everything with the notebook and codebook.  As town, he's been not doing the best things (and even working for a non-town wincon at some points).  He doesn't really have anything making him look like town.  Granted, the same issues are present with a scum narrative, but it seems to make more sense to me as scum than as town.

faust: Claimed pawnbroker, had an owl piece, tried to trade it with MiX, then got stolen.  I could see this as either scum or town.

Joseph: Claimed third-party needing to get owl pieces, has been playing towards that goal, I believe him.

sudgy: Giving the owl piece to non-scum is more towny than scummy

ADK: Started with the magnifying glass and gave it to scola.  Giving is more towny, but there's nothing else here.

Eevee: Tried to give mail-mi the rope but got stolen.  Giving is more towny.

I would like to lynch in {MiX, mail-mi, joth, faust}, but could possibly lynch some others if we had to.

Great summaries, will be useful to study.

But I'd like to clarify - While I was given the magnifying glass N1, it didn't arrive the next morning.

So it's not "false" erroneous or otherwise; it was delayed in shipment and didn't arrive at my hotel until middle of D3.

So, giving could be seen as town, makes sense. Especially with owl pieces, there's no reason to give those away as scum.

I guess one question I have is do scum need items?

I had assumed if they did, that those items would start with town. But now I could also see them starting with their partners items. Because if they give them directly, while powerful, also could be very suspicious.

For example, scum A gives scum b an item. We eventually lynch scum b, and learn their role and that the item they got seems elated. Now we would strongly suspect scum A. i.e. scum starting with a partner's scum item has cons that balance the pros.

They either coordinate publicly, and then A can be town, or privately, and then we never know A had the item.

If scum needs stuff, it's most likely from town anyway.

Okay so if you read the GT information, it has something weird. I'm the only person with that weird thing. Why.

This setup makes no sense.

So your claiming GT?

What's it to you? We massclaim tomorrow.

“It doesn’t make sense,” the old man muttered too himself. “It doesn’t make any damn sense.”

“What doesn’t make sense?” I asked him.

“My job,” said the man. “My luggage. All of it. It just doesn’t. Make. Any. Sense!”

“He may have had a little too much,” said the bartender. “Someone make sure he gets home okay?”

“Or,” said someone in the crowd, “and hear me out here, we could brutally murder him.”

“Hmmm,” said the bartender. “I like where you’re heads at. We should definitely murder *someone*.”

I edged my way towards the door.

The argument that "x is scum because their reads don't make sense to me" is not universally valid. It depends heavily on the players involved and the type of read given. Specifically, faust scumreading LaLight for self-voting in the situation where LaLight self-voted seems extremely disingenuous.

“What about that guy who owns the pawn shop on third?” asked someone in the crowd.

“Oh yeah,” said someone else. “He sold me this jacket but it has a stain on it.”

“Probably mafia.” Said someone else.

I headed the opposite direction of third as the mob rounded the corner.

Another morning, another murder. They found the corpse floating in the river by the docks. I recognized this corpse. He'd been pleading with some of the angry lynch mobs to lynch somebody else. Course I also remembered him holding a pitchfork when all was said and done.

MiX has died. He was a Generous Townie.

Right. But if scum gets the item and wins the game (solo) that’s like a scum NK as far as town is concerned. That player leaves the game.

This setup makes no sense.

You are a Generous Townie. You have no special powers. Your weapon is your vote. At night, if you have at least one item, you must give at least one item to another player (unless this is overwritten by the item description.)

I'm assuming MiX was talking about what I bolded in this quote.  He also said he had a lot of power.  Joseph, I'm assuming the item MiX needed had to do with the item he had, which had nothing to do with his role.  Does the item you had seem to be missing a part?

For my night action, I can investigate who has pieces of the copper owl.

N1 investigated Galzria, didn't have any (and tried to give the rope I started with to mail-mi but was intercepted and the rope was stolen)
N2 investigated Joth, found out he had the torso and know has the wings

N2 investigated Joth, found out he had the torso and know has the wings

What do you mean by this?  Glooble told you that Joth knew who has the wings?
*should say now, not know

Now?  Like, the current moment?  Last I heard about the wings, faust got them stolen from him N2.
Wait, yeah that means joth stole them from faust!

faust, because he still hasn't answered my question.  He probably was saying he needed an item for his scumbuddies, and then later noticed he had the same role as LaLight.

Seems like the best plan is to lynch joth today, so he can't steal the third piece from Joseph tonight. Then Joseph can start graverobbing him to get additional pieces and win and leave the game. Then we lynch mail-mi tomorrow.

I'll think about it some more and I'll be back tomorrow night.

N1 Galzria big player, usually good to have info on him. Turned out not so this particular game
N2 Joth there was a lot of discussion around him and the owl
N3 Joseph thought it was just him needing the owl, so it seemed like relevant information. also i had decided i want to play for town so checking how truthful joseph is about the owl seemed prudent.

So, here's a theory: what if when someone wins with the owl, they can also give all of the owl pieces?  Then scum can just keep giving each other the owl pieces, and they win.

I'll likely vote joth, but want to reread first. If joth is scum, does that make faust suspicious too? joth gave him codebook and notebook (via Mix) and then faust says what joth says is true.

I'm thinking scum could be joth, faust, and skip.

I prefer skip to mail-mil because mail-mi claimed a sailor role with details first, then skip said "me too". If mail-mi were lying what are the chances he guessed exactly skip's role. Though I guess the role could be the same, just different factions.

OK, so I'll need to think which of those two.

It doesn't work for him to have stolen the rope N1. Because on N2 de definitely gave the codebook to MiX on N2. He couldn't have also given the rope to a scum sailor.

I'd also like us to question eevee a little more.

Can you explain this sentence more clearly:

N2 investigated Joth, found out he had the torso and know has the wings

I get the type is "now" instead of "know", but am still unclear. Are you saying you investigated joth N2 and were told he had told he had two pieces, the torso and the wings? I'm trying to understand why the "now" at all, were you told he had just acquired that piece, then? (i.e. he had torso N1, then acquired (presumable via stealing) the wings N2)?
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 4)
Post by: scolapasta on May 15, 2020, 10:44:29 pm
Once eevee confirms he had both pieces when he investigated N2, I think it will be safe to lynch joth (and will throw the hammer). But I'd really like to confirm we're understanding that key sentence correctly before we do.

So an unvote now, until we get this clarification would go a long way.

Post by: mail-mi on May 15, 2020, 10:51:18 pm
I have a couple of thoughts, but I don't think joth is quite as scum as everyone is saying. I'm not going to say them out loud because if he is scum I don't want to give him any fakeclaim ideas.

Meanwhile, to me, skip is 100% scum at this point, we should have lynched him d1.
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 4)
Post by: sudgy on May 15, 2020, 10:54:49 pm
Unvote, at least until joth chimes in, but boy do I want to lynch him.

Anyway, first off, I fully trust Eevee.  I'll eat my hat if Eevee is not what he says he is, I believe him so much.  That said, I interpreted what Eevee said as "Joth had the torso at the start of the night and received the wings by the end of the night."

Also,
It doesn't work for him to have stolen the rope N1. Because on N2 de definitely gave the codebook to MiX on N2. He couldn't have also given the rope to a scum sailor.

He didn't give the codebook to MiX on N2.  He said he gave the notebook to someone, but I could never figure out who.

Wow. A lot going on.

There’s a lot fishy about Eevee’s claim, including the timing of it. Seems like a scum fakeclaim to get the last mislynch so they win the game. Shame on you all for falling for it. I had the talons and they were stolen from me. At no point did I have the wings.

Vote: Eevee

As for my role, I’m a Spymaster. I started the game with a codebook and a bug, which I could plant on another player each night. The bug has a chance of telling me what a player did at night. Night 1 I bugged mail-mi and was told it picked up nothing unusual.

Night 2 I bugged Galzria and was told that it picked up the sound of some activity, which I thought was suspicious but not really definitive so I chose not to claim it.

Last night I bugged skip and was told that when I went to recover my bug, I found it had been discovered and smashed. Idk if that means he’s scum, or scum visited him. Or none of the above.

Glooble, you may not be able to answer this, but does scum win when at least half of the players alive are scum, or when all players alive are scum?  (and nothing preventing it from happening, of course)

Or maybe a better way to ask the question: Assuming town has some kind of roleblocker role, and it's just them and one scum left, who wins?

My idea is to get us down to mail-mi, skip, and Joseph, then Joseph leaves, and who knows what happens next.

Actually, a much, much, better idea: Joseph, try to steal from mail-mi or skip.  If you get the Rope, give it to the other, and then once there's one mafia left, we can keep blocking kills with a couple town to spare, give you all of the owl pieces with all of the time in the world, you leave, and we still have a couple more people to lynch the last mafia with.

My idea is to get us down to mail-mi, skip, and Joseph, then Joseph leaves, and who knows what happens next.

Actually, a much, much, better idea: Joseph, try to steal from mail-mi or skip.  If you get the Rope, give it to the other, and then once there's one mafia left, we can keep blocking kills with a couple town to spare, give you all of the owl pieces with all of the time in the world, you leave, and we still have a couple more people to lynch the last mafia with.

Nice, I was also thinking having joseph steal is the rope tonight is exactly right.

To be clear, I wasn't saying that their plan is to get the pieces from Joseph, but to give them all to him.

Joseph, help us get the rope, then after we can block you can win. (scum can't risk NKing you, because they need to get rid of town, know that we know who they are).

At this point I think we know everyone's role, so I'm not going to bother with updating my claims post, but we should keep track of where the owl pieces are.  Joseph has the torso, and I think the wings and the head were stolen by Joth.  He could have given the wings to a scumbuddy last night if they wanted to.

faust, you never answered my question from before.  Why did you claim to need items on day 1, when LaLight said he didn't need items?
I did not claim that?

Here are my things:

Golden talisman
Scarf
Access card
Pickled fish
Rollerblades
The plan was for everyone to post a list of 5 items that includes the item they need, and for people who don't need any items to just post a list of 5 random items, which is what I did. As otherwise it would be obvious who doesn't need anything.

Also, note that this makes scola and me basically confirmed town, because we could have unvoted and hoped Joseph would join us as scum if what Joth says is true.
Yeah I doubt the whole scum team would out themselves in a hope to convince Joseph.
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 4)
Post by: faust on May 16, 2020, 02:02:31 am
I think mail-mi and faust, but less sure about those.  Faust still hasn't explained why he posted items he wanted D1, and since skip/mail-mi are now basically confirmed to be town vs scum, it makes faust vs LaLight more likely to be town vs scum as well.
How does that logic work? One would think that if we know there's a scum in mail-mi/skip, it would be less likely that any other given player is scum.

I do. It appears that joth was indeed telling the truth.

There's this. ^^^ for faust.

Also, in case we were doubting joseph, joth is seemingly confirming him as not scum, too.
Well he was. I could give you the things to confirm, but you'd have to give one away before that, so I think they need to go to someone else.

I'd also like us to question eevee a little more.

Can you explain this sentence more clearly:

N2 investigated Joth, found out he had the torso and know has the wings

I get the type is "now" instead of "know", but am still unclear. Are you saying you investigated joth N2 and were told he had told he had two pieces, the torso and the wings? I'm trying to understand why the "now" at all, were you told he had just acquired that piece, then? (i.e. he had torso N1, then acquired (presumable via stealing) the wings N2)?
My investigations also cover the past. The result was that joth had had the owl torso last night (N1) and now (N2) had the wings.
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 4)

Yeah, I'm concerned the plan specified below:

Partners, I think that you should do the plan tonight that I suggested doing last night.

is to get Joseph all the pieces of the owl.

So is there a way for both Joseph and town to win at this point?
When I win, I can give my items (presumably not the owl) to other people. So I can distribute any other items I have (currently none) amongst others

Joth probably has two owl pieces, so if we lynch ADK (the scum graverobber) tomorrow, your owl pieces will be safely stuck in the grave while we work out the Rope situation, we lynch faust as well, and then once you've given the Rope to the other Sailor, we keep No Lynching until you find all of the owl pieces, then you win, and we'll have enough people to lynch the last scum.

"Should keep killing random people?" asked the Bartender. "We don't seem to be hitting any members of the mafia."

"Oh hey, I'm a member of the mafia," said someone in the crowd.

"Really?" they all asked, pulling out various implements both blunt and sharp.

"Uh... psych?" the mafioso tried. But it was too late.


DAY 4 FINAL VOTE COUNT:

skip wooznum (1): Joseph, mail-mi
jotheonah (5): Eevee, sudgy, A Drowned Kernel, Joseph2302, scolapasta
Eevee (1): jotheonah
Not voting (9): mail-mi, skip wooznum, scolapasta, jotheonah, faust, Joseph2302, sudgy, A Drowned Kernel, Eevee

With 9 alive, it took 5 to lynch.

jotheonah has been lynched. He was a Mafia Goon who had also been converted into a Treasure Hunter.

Night 4 begins now. It will end at 12 pm ET on Monday, May 18th.

sudgy has died. He was a Generous Townie.

Not voting (7): mail-mi, skip wooznum, scolapasta, faust, Joseph2302, A Drowned Kernel, Eevee

With 7 alive, it take 4 to lynch.

Also, Treasure Hunters are not Survivors. They end the game and win alone when they get all the pieces.
Wait, the game ends for everybody? So all other players lose?
That isn't true according to my role as written in my QT

Are you a Treasure Hunter?
Yes
But my role clearly says that the game continues so town or mafia can also win

If eevee was telling the truth, then lynching Joseph will convert eevee into non-town. Which is bad. Also, eevee confirmed that Joseph is third party, so they're either both mafia or neither.

Let's run some scenarios. These are from my perspective, mind you. I'm excluding one where Joseph is mafia, that doesn't seem to make sense given what we know.

- 3 scum left, Eevee telling the truth.
That puts the only remaining "true town" at me and whoever of skip/mail-mi is town. Maybe. There is some argument to be made that skip and mail-mi are both scum I guess. Anyways not much to be done in this setting, we can lynch scum but once we are at Joseph/Eevee/X (scum) remaining, Joseph has no reason to end the game in a loss for them.

- 3 scum left, Eevee is one of them
Situation is similar as before, agian we need to rely on Joseph but they won't end the game for us. It's notable that before that, Joseph has an incentive to lynch scum because that opens up graverobbing.

- 2 scum left, Eevee telling the truth
We cannot lynch Joseph because that leaves us in the same situation as the 3-scum scenario detailed above. Other than that, town does have a majority and can push through any 2 lynches for a potential win.

- 2 scum left, Eevee is one of them
This is the only scenario where lynching Joseph does not lose the game. But we can just lynch Eevee instead.

Post by: faust on May 19, 2020, 03:00:02 am
I don't think we can realistically get the rope into town's hands at this point, Joseph is on a timer and will prioritize getting owl pieces.

There is something to be said about keeping the Sailors around to keep Joseph in check. But then they are our best shot of finding scum.

Not super likely. Seems like town's powers, being contingent on item, are fairly weak, and there are up to 2 third-parties plus an option for additional players to follow an anti-town wincon.

It's not impossible, but we should probably act under the assumption that it's not the case.

Honestly what's bugging me is, if mail-mi was scum with the rope, why would he blow his cover and block eevee? The risk/reward just doesn't add up. People were more or less willing to swallow that him and me were t and t, as evidenced by the fact that we're both still alive. Using the rope to block eevee would confirm that one of us is scum. And who knows if eevee is even doing anything worth blocking? I feel like I'm missing something.

True, true. Well. I feel like it's a worthwile effort to check for interactions with joth. If there are actually three Sailors nd the scum one is unclaimed... then we have a big problem.

Who could that be? Only one of scola/ADK right? Even from an outside perspective, it is known that I have another role. maybe I'll also go look into their reactions to the whole rope situation.

Joseph tried to steal from adk N3, but adk had nothing. So he can't have the rope unless Joseph lied.

Scum is blocking you. They're probably doing that because they believe you're lying, that the game ends when you win, and everyone else loses. It doesn't matter whether or not you're actually lying. All that matters is you need to lynch whoever's blocking you if you want to win.

Here's another thing that's bugging me (though maybe faust can't help me with this one). On D2, joth and Joseph each claim to have a piece of the statue (I think). At this point, joth has already decoded the notebook, so he's a treasure hunter, looking for more pieces. Joseph does the predictable, logical thing and steals joth's piece. But joth doesn't steal Joseph's piece. Instead, (according to faust and eevee,) he steals faust's piece. Did he know faust had a piece? He definitely knew Joseph had one. What's up with that? Did faust give joth the piece, and actually joth had no ability to steal? All ideas are welcome.

Your assumption leads me to another question. What exactly did joth want with all these owl pieces? Did he want to win alone and ditch his buddies, or is there some other use for the statue in scum hands? Joth flipped as a goon, implying that he had no special stealing powers. So probably if scum can steal, it's a factional thing? So joth is running about the place, using mafia's factional steal to get owl pieces for his own personal win? I mean...

Plus, last night scum didn't steal Joseph's piece. So have they stopped chasing the owl?

It makes sense either way, doesn't it? joth lied to his partners to go for the solo win, or he told the truth, so scum knew that Joseph would end the game if he got them all, and they tried to get hold of one owl piece to prevent that from happening.

Eevee, if we lynch mail-mi today, do not investigate Joseph. It's pointless, we're not lynching him. Investigate one of the others. I would suggest scola, but adk and faust are also fine. Scola claimed to have a piece that he gave to joth night 1. Faust claimed to have one that got stolen night 2. Confirmation that they have never had any other pieces, and that they no longer have those pieces that they once had, would be good. Also, confirmation that they actually had those pieces at all is important too. Although not for faust, as mix already confirmed that. 

Anyway, don't investigate Joseph. It doesn't matter if he's lying. It only matters if other people are lying.

One of mail-mi or skip is scum (and where we should probably lynch today if we're not lynching joseph) and the other's probably town. After that I think I'd vote faust over scola
(How is lynching Joseph your first option?)

Honestly the main reason I don't want to lynch mail-mi is because then I'm gonna get shot tonight, and all y'all are gonna end up lynching faust, which will be a mistake.

• Generally in games like these, do scum get to talk N0 or not just night N1? i.e. do we think they've had any chance to coordinate anything yet?

Why wouldn't they get to talk N0?
Scola, did you ever answer this? Why would this game be different than any other game?

This is scola's second? game, and he was town in the first one, so it could just be newbie innocence.

That is correct. (well, 2nd or 3rd game , I can't remember if this was before M126. Regardless, I was town in that one too.

Why do we think scum killed sudgy last night?

The point is that I wasn't aware that they could talk in N0 in those other games either. i.e I never thought it might be different, I just didn't think to wonder about that in those other games. Well that's not exactly true: for Hunger games there was N0 talk. But it wasn't just for scum but also all the different districts. So that game definitely seemed different.

So if you didn't think to wonder about N0 in the other games, why did you think to wonder about it in this one?

I mean, I already explained that for Hunger Games - that was first and everyone had some kind of N0 QT. I can add it was explicitly in the set up - since it was specifying when during N0 scum could and could not talk.

For M126 (I checked and confirmed it started before this). It just wasn't so important. These RMMs have more going on, what with (in this case) items. So there's more to coordinate than just who to vote for, and that's what made me wonder.

Honestly your question sort of presupposes a specific answer to my question. Scum didn't decide in a vacuum to kill sudgy, they compared him with other potential nk candidates, and decided he was the best. So until you tell me who you think was a good nk target, I don't really know the intent of your question, or how to answer it satisfactorily. Are you asking why scum didn't kill me? Eevee? you?

I will say one thing, though. If I'm scum, then scum started with both the codebook and notebook, which would make vey little sense to begin with. Then, on top of that, instead of keeping this to themselves, and waiting to see what the codebook/notebook did, scum publicly outed that info to the whole thread in an extremely strange and impromptu moment during twilight of D1. So there's no way I'm scum.

I've also realized something I really should have thought of before though - skip is definitely town. I mean the whole affair with him giving the codebook to joth doesn't make sense if they are both scum.

So Vote: mail-mi is the best thing for today I think.

Eevee is a very central character in a lot of the actions and claims that have happened over the course of the game. It's been hard for me to come up with a scenario where he's scum, and complicated for me to consider the implications of all the claims and stuff. Could you walk me through your process?

Like for example, did he really start out with the rope? What's the point of my power if he did?

Yeah this was mostly coming from my D1 reread, I didn't consider the rope issue. Makes Eevee more likely town. There could be a Traitor to make scum-scum trading more relevant, but if there is then I think we're dealing with 4 scum and that will be bad.

If eevee is scum, he made up the getting roped N3. If he made up the rope thing N3, then Joseph made it up N4. I don't see another way.

Also of note, glooble has confirmed to me that the rope is loud.

I don't think that is a necessary implication. Scum could have the Rope, have chosen to not use it N3 so that Eevee could fake, and have chosen to use it N4.

Of course that still presupposes that Eevee actually started out with the Rope, which seems weird.

This is compelling to me. I also think skip has been playing townier than mailmi in the recent days.

But I have no home- can’t go back to the motel where Natalia’s goons could find me, can’t go back to the gravediggers house in case I get asked to do more work. I have to get out of here. But not without my owl.

Vote Count 5.2

Skip wooznum (1): mail-mi
Joseph2302 (1): A Drowned Kernel
faust (1): Joseph2302
mail-mi (2): Eevee, faust
Not voting (2): skip wooznum, scolapasta

With 7 alive, it take 4 to lynch.

Well if this were the kind of LyLo where scum can quickhammer with one vote then we'd already have lost, so that shouldn't be something that informs your decisions.

scola is incidentally pretty high on my scum radar, so that might be a good lynch regardless. Is it better than mail-mi? Good question.

I'm an apprentice treasure hunter. Seems it's a back up role for Joseph, I'm town until he dies and then inherit whatever powers and factions he currently is/has. I prefer playing for town.

I guess what I'm wondering is, it can't actually specify Joseph specifically, so how is it phrased? Is it something like (and I know you can't quote directly, but I can in my example) "When a treasure hunter dies, you inherit their powers and factions"?

there’s been two of many other roles, fos at anyone speculating about a third sailor
Two of what? Technically, there are three Pawnbrokers, since Joseph apparently has that power as well.

3 claimed Pawnbrokers. Do we have any corroborating evidence that faust is a pawnbroker?

In my experience, people generally don't answer questions unless they're explicitly called out by name and requested to answer. So at this point, I've gotta assume you've generated all the response that you're ever going to.

Will probably have some short posts today during work hours with some questions, some answers to asked questions.

Hoping still for a longe reread tonight.

My current order is faust > ADK > eevee. Though some aspects change each time I think about it.

@eevee can you give some more description of how your role is described? does it just say when the treasure hunter dies? Is there more to it than that?
I'm a town aligned apprentice treasure hunter, however if the treasure hunter dies, I will inherit their powers and win condition (unless it would make it impossible for me to win). I was tols nothing more, and all the info I've received about treasure hunters have come from joseph in this thread and joths flip.

Hey I also know the length of the rope, if that would that clear that I started with it for the people doubting that.

I'm surprised at how little we are talking about mail-mi/skip. Unless someone has some information they haven't divulged yet - since we know one of them has to be scum, surely figuring out which one should be our top priority? I don't think there's a third sailor somewhere, there aren't that many people left.

Wait uh... this is pretty relevant. Can you find out any more about which circumstances would make it impossible for you to win? Like, if Joseph dies with a piece of the bird on them, and there are no more Graverobber, would you stay town? And what if there are only scum Graverobbers?

I know that you probably cannot ask that specifically, but maybe you can try some more general questions.

Uh if we don't think about a third Sailor then it shouldn't even be a question that we lynch mail-mi. The only reason to stop and think is a third Sailor.

Post by: scolapasta on May 21, 2020, 12:46:14 pm
OK, still on reread, but time to post some thoughts based on the questions I've asked:

1st. Agreed sudgy was towny, I do think I was as well, so why choose him or me, or over the probably town!sailor or town!PR? I guess maybe getting rid of towny makes sense, but (and here's where my experience might come in), I could also see wanting to get rid of roles that could hurt you. That said the ropeless sailor might not be that dangerous (and a good candidate for them to direct a mislynch) but getting rid of eevee could be useful to them. (on the assumption that eevee is town).

But they preferred a GT instead, and sudgy over me. Why? Get rid of him and try to ignore everything he said there at the end. (i.e. no one has brought up what we think of his assertion of faust and ADK as scum)

I agree we just still probably decide between mail-mi and skip*. Though the challenge with that is that's it's 50-50. But maybe at this point 50-50 is our best shot? I had been thinking leaning more towards skip, but the scum starting with both codebook / notebook is a con against that. I do have a question out to Gloobie about that, but don't expect an answer today, since he said he'd be busy.

* i've been wanting this 1v1 since Day 1, but never was able to get traction any day, so would invariably switch to something else, unfortunately always incorrectly.

The part I'm trying to wrap my head around is eevee's  role (and what I've been asking those questions):

I'm a town aligned apprentice treasure hunter, however if the treasure hunter dies, I will inherit their powers and win condition (unless it would make it impossible for me to win). I was tols nothing more, and all the info I've received about treasure hunters have come from joseph in this thread and joths flip.

Hey I also know the length of the rope, if that would that clear that I started with it for the people doubting that.

"If the treasure hunter dies" - the thing is, there's more than one treasure hunter. Not at the start of the game, sure, but joth flipped as converted treasure hunter. If that's true, then wouldn't eevee now be scum? It is a big difference between "a" and "the".

Then there's joth's gambit, of Joseph join us. That would only work if there were 4 scum yesterday. But if so, there would be 3 now just need one town to vote for a town and the rest could pile on and win the game. And there have been many different votes today.

I think the key is understanding the owl. And faust has the opportunity to pass on either notebook or codebook to someone and kept it to himself. And the way to pass to a GT is to pass to someone else first, then both pass to GT on same night; faust is an experienced player to have seen that option.

So one of mail-mi / skip (but which). faust. and then is there a 3rd? is eevee now scum? All that is were I'm at.

So while I would be ok with one of the sailors @ 50/50, I think faust is more guaranteed tonight. And maybe we cna somehow get something more about the sailors in the meanwhile.

vote: faust

OK, also faust has me high on his list, but I mean why would I hammer yesterday, when I did? Why not at least wait to see if something would change and, if looking for town cred, hammer later?

While I honestly don't see how you'd think I'm scum, even if there's some doubt, how I',m the most likely scum? That's just faust trying to get rid of another GT.

Post by: scolapasta on May 21, 2020, 01:18:53 pm
Another reason for considering faust:

He's now a Treasure Hunter, due to reading notebook / codebook (at least that's how I read joth's conversion). What if becoming a Treasure Hunter gives you the power to steal? Well joth gave the items (via Mix) to him.

AND, I think we may need to reevalute the early day thefts. in other words, joth was only a mafia goon until he got the items which was only as of N3. So he wouldn't have been the thief. Right?

How did you go from this...

...to this?

Scola has been "pushing" the 1v1 every day, but not very hard and ends up turning away from it, since it's a 50-50 with one of his partners. I need to to a reread of scola (I know, I've been making promises and never keeping them) but I think outside of skip he's our best choice.
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 5)
Post by: scolapasta on May 21, 2020, 03:29:52 pm
Partially because my thoughts evolved while I was typing.

It started with the 1v1 being maybe decent as 50-50 and something everyone was considering. While I've been on the fause train, all day, I wasn't sure if others were. But as i wrote more, I became more convinced of faust and that others would see the logic in my arguments.

So basically, I'd like us to get the scum jailkeeper out of the way, but we only have 50/50. Meanwhile, I'd say faust, in my book is more like 90%, so why not get him out of the way today, while we try to learn more about the 1v1 (which I did say in that post).

It is true I've pushed the 1v1 every day. And I stand by that. There is a difference though. Early on, I think it's safe to assume town outnumbered scum significantly, so the 1v1 made complete sense. We trade one scum for one town. (and if it were wrong, we at least learn a lot about the setup). Now however, late in the game, the 1v1 at 50-50 is scum friendly. We still need to do it sooner or later, but if we can learn anything more before it, I'm happy to delay it one day.

And on the earlier days, you'll notice I stayed on the 1v1 until it was clear it was going nowhere. I disagree with "not very hard".

And you list skip again, though he had the codebook?

I'll have to do a reread to confirm what you're saying here.

I'm conflicted on skip. I mean, there has to be a scum sailor, and I know it's not me, and so it's either skip or someone who has been lying. And I'm flipping back and forth on those options right now.

Well, that's not all in my defense. I didn't realize I was on trial. My point there was that I think both sudgy and I had similar town cred from yesterday, yet everyone is saying sudgy was super towny, and suspiciously people are considering me here.

I think my actions yesterday don't make sense of I'm scum. I think my pushing 1v1 on D1 and D2 and D3 (I forget how vocal I was on D3) point to my town cred.

I think all your suspicion of me points to you being scummy. Sudgy was on to you, so you had him NKed.

scola, do you seriously think mail-mi/skip is 50/50, i.e. they have the same chance to be scum?

Yes. Because I really can't figure it out. I thought it was skip. It was not 50-50 for me. But then it was pointed out tha he had the codebook. SO then I reverted back.

That's why I've been wanting to do the reread that I (also) haven't gotten around to, to get a feel for one vs the other.

I could be convinced to go back to the 1v1 if I could get away from 50-50.

And I also think there's more to the owl than what you and joth are telling us. The owl is the key.

I mean, there a Treasure Hunter, an apprentice Treasure Hunter, and people can be converted to be treasure hunters.

And you made no effort to share those items with anyone - to spread information. And joth worked to get you them.

A few quotes from yesterday (mostly from sudgy):

huh, I was typing something else, actually hoping to hold off on joth vote (waiting for eevee clarification).

But that's sounds like a confession, eh? Luckily, I'm awake and joseph's not.

Vote: joth

Also, note that this makes scola and me basically confirmed town, because we could have unvoted and hoped Joseph would join us as scum if what Joth says is true.


Yesterday:
Oh fudge. Standby.
Does this mean faust does indeed have the notebook?
I do. It appears that joth was indeed telling the truth.

Today (and trying to add suspicion to Joseph):
Seems Joseph is a cult of some sort?
I have doubts. Let's wait for faust.

Whom did you investigate last night?
It's a reflection of the other win condition. I would also flip with both town and Treasure Hunter.

Also, Treasure Hunters are not Survivors. They end the game and win alone when they get all the pieces.

I don't buy your explanation of why you waited to say something.

There's this. ^^^ for faust.

Also, in case we were doubting joseph, joth is seemingly confirming him as not scum, too.
Well he was. I could give you the things to confirm, but you'd have to give one away before that, so I think they need to go to someone else.

Or you could have said here that you thought it was pro town to not give away. Something doesn't add up.

I'll admit that at the start of day 4, we were in pretty bad shape. I definitely felt discouraged, like the game was already lost and I didn't really know what to do. But then eevee came in with this awesome claim, which went like, a crazy long way towards solving the game, and I feel like we're totally in it at this point. I mean, maybe the rest of you disagree, but this for me is like the perfect situation for a mafia game. Day 5, tons of teeny tiny pieces of information, trying to piece everything together to decide who most likely are the bad guys, but it's really hard cuz there's so much you have to keep in your head at once. This is like, the reason to sign up for a mafia game, the most fun situation a mafia game can generate.

I had thought 3. But I now think joth was just bluffing to make us think there were that many. (there's also a small part of me that wonders if that was trying to make us not suspect Joseph, but I'm not really sure I see a plausible way he's scum and not 3rd party like he says)

So then maybe just 2? faust and the scum!sailor?

So what do people think about who was able to steal? i.e. I don't think joth could N1, since he flipped goon.

A newbie question: what does Loud mean? I read up and thought it said you knew who performed an action on you. But if that were it, then Joseph or eevee would know who tied them up. So it can't be that. Does it just mean that they know they got tied up.

So what do people think about who was able to steal? i.e. I don't think joth could N1, since he flipped goon.

A newbie question: what does Loud mean? I read up and thought it said you knew who performed an action on you. But if that were it, then Joseph or eevee would know who tied them up. So it can't be that. Does it just mean that they know they got tied up.
So if there's only two living scum, what exactly did you do yesterday that was so towny?

As to the loud business, I'm probably just using it wrong. I meant, like you say, they know they got tied up with a rope. I'm not sure if there's another term for it that's more precise, though.

Honestly, I can't answer how what I did would seem towny to you and other. If I were scum, I would obviously be trying to appear towny. And I also would if I were town. So you decide.

I just don't think that if I were scum my play yesterday would have been the right move.

I was in the middle of making a case for why eevee was lying*, then joth confessed and I hammered. Rather than even try to wait (no one had to know I was still awake) and see what happened with joth's plea to Joseph. You're right in that if there's only 2, his plea was a bluff. But I didn't (and still don't really) know if it's a bluff not. And I think scum would have allowed the chaos to survive a little longer.

* the case I was making is probably irrelevant because I had a fact wrong. from the setup I thought when you would only get your items the next day, not during the night (the setup is clear that you will be given to you at the start of the day). But I did get clarification that you actually have the item that night, you just can't use it. I don't think I would have tried to make this case (which I never got to even complete) if I knew it to be false.

Maybe scum is worried about my investigative powers? I admit it's odd, but I think there being a third sailor is also unlikely.

100% agree that this is the best part of the game!
how did scum know about your investigation powers?
Ah, I didn't remember I only claimed today. They wouldn't know, my bad.

I'm an apprentice treasure hunter. Seems it's a back up role for Joseph, I'm town until he dies and then inherit whatever powers and factions he currently is/has. I prefer playing for town.

For my night action, I can investigate who has pieces of the copper owl.

N1 investigated Galzria, didn't have any (and tried to give the rope I started with to mail-mi but was intercepted and the rope was stolen)
N2 investigated Joth, found out he had the torso and know has the wings
N3 investigated Joseph, but couldn't complete the action because I was tied up with the rope

Uh, Eevee, you were tied up night three.

Oh fudge. Standby.
Does this mean faust does indeed have the notebook?
I do. It appears that joth was indeed telling the truth.

There's this. ^^^ for faust.

Also, in case we were doubting joseph, joth is seemingly confirming him as not scum, too.
Well he was. I could give you the things to confirm, but you'd have to give one away before that, so I think they need to go to someone else.

Or you could have said here that you thought it was pro town to not give away. Something doesn't add up.
I hadn't made up my mind at that point.

Yes it was n3, no i’m not scum but dumb.

Interesting that it was mail mi who caught the mistake, although i guess he’d be cognizant of the usage of rope as a sailor regardless of his alignment.
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 5)
Post by: skip wooznum on May 22, 2020, 07:00:12 am
There's still some stuff I'd like to write up, and I hope I'll have time and energy for all of it. For now, I guess we can start with the easy stuff.

The title of this post will be



Eevee, the Conf!town
An Exercise in Attempting to Townclear Eevee, for the Purpose of Having One Less Thing to Worry About

Essentially, the argument that Eevee is town boils down to three things.

1)He claimed to start with the rope, with nobody counterclaiming. I see no way that scum could start with the rope, because I'm town and need the rope, so how would I ever get it if scum starts with it.

(In the interest of completion, there is one scum narrative that I've dreamt up here. It's possible that Swowl started out with the rope, and on N1 the mafia killed him and stole from him (brutal, I know), and scum!eevee knew it was safe to claim rope, because Swowl, the ropist, was dead. This seems fairly unlikely, but probably worth noting)


2)My role pm makes literally no mention of the rope being loud. I never would have even considered the possibility that the rope was loud. I can only assume mail-mi's pm (or the pm of whoever is the scum sailor) looks the same. So when Eevee claims that he was roped up on N3, he is almost definitely telling the truth. If he wasn't actually roped up, what would induce him to think that the roping would be loud. And well, if he really was roped up, then he's almost definitely town.


3)Looking back at eevee's claim (post 1623 and the ensuing conversation), it's clear he isn't partners with joth. He makes his claim without realising that it incriminates joth, which is interesting but, I guess, could go either way. But what's really interesting is what happens after. Sudgy points out that joth is likely scum, and, almost immediately, (75 seconds) eevee comes back to agree with sudgy and place a vote. I put it to you that this is not partner behavior. A partner would take a minute, kick himself about his botched claim, and really think things through about whether this situation is salvageable, or does he really need to bus at this point. He would not jump right out like that and vote. There's nothing to be lost by not posting anything, and waiting and thinking before making that vote.


So, eevee is town.


The End

With regards to 1, it's a strong point; the only thing I will say is that with Traitor mechanics, it would be possible for scum to both start with the rope and need to rope.

2 again a good point, it is not impossible that having the Rope and being a Sailor lets you know about it being loud. Also, stealing is loud, maybe scum had already learned to expect actions to be loud.

3 is good. It could still be a Traitor thing, but even then traitor!Eevee still probably take some time for consideration.

So overall, I agree. I have been worrying a little because a lot of things around Eevee's claim seemed a bit off, but I agree that all things point to non-mafia. Of course it might still be that he has been aligned with Joseph from the start, but there's nothing to be done about that now.

The stealing is maybe the single thing in this game that I've contemplated the most. I think what makes it so confusing for me is that there is no clear place for my train of thought to begin. But I can try to organize my thoughts on this, as it's something I've wanted to do since the beginning of the day. Let's start with the facts.
1)Didds claims she was stolen from on N1. (Bullet)
2)Joth claims he was stolen from on N2. (Owl torso)
3)adk claims he was stolen from on N3, but he had nothing that could be stolen.
4)Joseph claims responsibility for points 1-3.
(These first four points are pretty simple and more less take care of themselves without further explanation. Now we get to the good stuff.)

5)eevee claims he was stolen from on N1. (Rope)
6)faust claims he was stolen from on N2. (Owl wings)
7)Joseph claims he was stolen from on N3. (Owl torso I think but can't find it now.)
8)Joth is found (by eevee) to have the owl wings N2.
9)Joth flips goon treasure hunter.
10)Joth only became treasure hunter after N1.
11)faust claims recruited treasure hunters do not recieve stealing abilities.
12)eevee claims being roped N3, nobody claims beyond roped N2. (This is relevant indirectly.)

Did I miss any facts?

Now that that's done, we cam start thinking up what ways we have of explaining everything.

(Hopefully) to be continued.

Made some corrections in bold. Left the emoji as is. Added a fact

So in analyzing this stuff, I think the first things to consider are the two claims by faust (6 and 11). If faust is town, then he's telling the truth about those things. That would mean that joth stole from him N2, and despite being a treasure hunter, he had no special stealing privileges. It seems to me that the only explanation (tell me if you have another)  is some sort of factional stealing ability, similar to the factional nk. That fits pretty well, and also answers the question of, how could thief!joth have stolen the rope N1 and given it to the scum!sailor N2, if he was busy giving the notebook to mix on N2? The answer, of course, is somebody other than joth used the factional steal N1. So all that works out, I think. The next thing to consider would be, did joth lie to his mates about the owl? I was bothered earlier by the fact that joth chose to steal from faust N2 when he already knew that Joseph had an owl piece. It could be that scum has some type of itemcop or owlcop and knew faust had an owl piece. If scum were owl hunting, joth either lied, or there's some other use that mafia had for the owl. But the explanation might be simpler. Maybe Joth wasn't going for owl pieces at all. He couldn't justify owl hunting to his scum buddies. Faust was confirmed in thread to have an unidentified item of some sort, so the mafia targeted him, without specifically aiming for the owl. All of this looks pretty internally consistent, and a viable narrative to explain everything. (And the only viable narrative that has a town!faust.)

Next, we'll explore a scum!faust world.

One problem with the town!faust narrative is that there were no thefts reported last night. If the steal power is factional, there is no reason for it to have stopped with joth's death.

It could be that scum has a choice to steal or graverob (much like Joseph) and last night chose to graverob. I'll have to think about how much I like that explanation.

No, I'm more or less convinced mail-mi should be today's lynch as well. Your investigation tonight will help us figure out who should be the lynch tomorrow.

I'll likely vote joth, but want to reread first. If joth is scum, does that make faust suspicious too? joth gave him codebook and notebook (via Mix) and then faust says what joth says is true.

I'm thinking scum could be joth, faust, and skip.

I prefer skip to mail-mil because mail-mi claimed a sailor role with details first, then skip said "me too". If mail-mi were lying what are the chances he guessed exactly skip's role. Though I guess the role could be the same, just different factions.

OK, so I'll need to think which of those two.
scola's first pot after my claim, very scummy, especially if skip is town and mailmi scum.

Also, note that this makes scola and me basically confirmed town, because we could have unvoted and hoped Joseph would join us as scum if what Joth says is true.
Got to disagree with sudgy here, seems awfully risky for scum who is still in a  great spot even with joth gone to out themselves completely hoping a 3rd party faction will help them. But it's a point toward scola's towniness that he votes for joth here.

also notable that mailmi defended joth until the confession.

I think mail-mi and faust, but less sure about those.  Faust still hasn't explained why he posted items he wanted D1, and since skip/mail-mi are now basically confirmed to be town vs scum, it makes faust vs LaLight more likely to be town vs scum as well.
some more parting thoughts from sudgy, may he rest in peace.

I think mail-mi and faust, but less sure about those.  Faust still hasn't explained why he posted items he wanted D1, and since skip/mail-mi are now basically confirmed to be town vs scum, it makes faust vs LaLight more likely to be town vs scum as well.

why mail-mi over skip? I've been thinking it's been skip, but not nearly as sure anymore.

I do think the extra vote after I hammered is suspiciously trying to get town cred.

might be veering towards confirmation bias, but scola having town cred in the forefront is not a towny state of mind after a hammer.

I'm assuming faust is scum pawnbroker, mail-mi/skip are the town/scum sailors, and ADK is the scum graverobber.

I'm sold. Skip/Faust/adk. I've been scumreading ADK since day2.
mailmi townreading scola

Honestly what's bugging me is, if mail-mi was scum with the rope, why would he blow his cover and block eevee? The risk/reward just doesn't add up. People were more or less willing to swallow that him and me were t and t, as evidenced by the fact that we're both still alive. Using the rope to block eevee would confirm that one of us is scum. And who knows if eevee is even doing anything worth blocking? I feel like I'm missing something.
maybe scum has some owl pieces they've been lying about and were worried I'd cop them? Something's up with the owl pieces, as scum decided to switch to Joseph last night. There's so much we are in the dark about of the mechanics compared to joseph and mafia.

One of mail-mi or skip is scum (and where we should probably lynch today if we're not lynching joseph) and the other's probably town. After that I think I'd vote faust over scola
ADK has been notably non-committal about mailmi vs skip. Otherwise I think his play fits for apathetic town or lurky scum that doesn't want to rock the boat and ruin a good thing.

@faust, best guess, who are the bad guys?

As of now, having reread only D1, I'm thinking Eevee>scola>ADK.

I've also realized something I really should have thought of before though - skip is definitely town. I mean the whole affair with him giving the codebook to joth doesn't make sense if they are both scum.

So Vote: mail-mi is the best thing for today I think.
faust, has your stance changed from this?

my takeaway from the reread is that faust is townier and scola scummier, adk more or less the same. i'm basically operating from the pov of mailmi being scum and skip town, i'll of course update if it doesn't turn out thay way but it feels we are likely lost in that case anyway so it's more convenient this way.

I will inherit their powers and win condition (unless it would make it impossible for me to win). I was tols nothing more, and all the info I've received about treasure hunters have come from joseph in this thread and joths flip.

Wait uh... this is pretty relevant. Can you find out any more about which circumstances would make it impossible for you to win? Like, if Joseph dies with a piece of the bird on them, and there are no more Graverobber, would you stay town? And what if there are only scum Graverobbers?

I know that you probably cannot ask that specifically, but maybe you can try some more general questions.
I made some inquiries about this, haven't hears back.

if mailmi is scum, this is very suspicious of scola - the tide is turning towards a mailmi lynch, scola tries to frame it as a 50-50 (while us pushing it obviously think it's a better chance based on their play and our reads) and redirecting us towards faust

So, while it is odd that scum decided to out they have a sailor, I think that's still the most likely explanation. Maybe they role-copped me, maybe they were able to figure out something more about the owl pieces (Joseph is still not telling us everything is  a pretty safe bet).

Third sailor seems like a more convoluted explanation to me. I'm also firmly in the camp that there are only two mafia left and joth was just bluffing yesterday (a very on brand thing for him to do).

You can present a cohesive narrative for a third Sailor, and tell us who that is.

@faust, best guess, who are the bad guys?

As of now, having reread only D1, I'm thinking Eevee>scola>ADK.

I've also realized something I really should have thought of before though - skip is definitely town. I mean the whole affair with him giving the codebook to joth doesn't make sense if they are both scum.

So Vote: mail-mi is the best thing for today I think.
faust, has your stance changed from this?

my takeaway from the reread is that faust is townier and scola scummier, adk more or less the same. i'm basically operating from the pov of mailmi being scum and skip town, i'll of course update if it doesn't turn out thay way but it feels we are likely lost in that case anyway so it's more convenient this way.
I have some mild worries that scolapasta is a third Sailor hiding in the dark. But then again, mail-mi is pretty scummy, maybe I'm just paranoid.

I think it has to be either ADK or scola, our two claimed GTs. I think they're both scum, and either they're scum by themselves (with a third Sailor) or skip with them. I think Eevee is what he says he is, and you have been pretty towny today.

Let me go scrounge up a reread of ADK and scola.

Here's a question to all: How did scum know Eevee had the rope? I think we've established that stealing comes before giving in the night action order, so scumone (new word, I'm coining it) had to know that Eevee had the rope. Or maybe they just got lucky.
Title: Re: BM30: MacGuffin Mafia (Day 5)
Post by: mail-mi on May 22, 2020, 01:36:13 pm
Rereading ADK, day 1 (I've got some work to do, so I'm setting my goal low right now):

He's the first one to suggest the item claiming plan that created this 1v1 mess. Could he have discussed that in a scum QT prior to game? Maybe, but I think it's pretty NAI.

His first serious vote of the game is on joth, which is a little towny, though it could be a early-d1-bus for towncred.

Then he spends most of the rest of the day pushing for the 1v1 (Specifically, me for the 1v1). If skip flips scum, I would look directly at ADK for a partner.

That's the end of D1, and I'm not quite sure what to think yet. Not very scummy, not very townie.

So what do people think about who was able to steal? i.e. I don't think joth could N1, since he flipped goon.
The stealing is maybe the single thing in this game that I've contemplated the most. I think what makes it so confusing for me is that there is no clear place for my train of thought to begin. But I can try to organize my thoughts on this, as it's something I've wanted to do since the beginning of the day. Let's start with the facts.
1)Didds claims she was stolen from on N1. (Bullet)
2)Joth claims he was stolen from on N2. (Owl torso)
3)adk claims he was stolen from on N3, but he had nothing that could be stolen.
4)Joseph claims responsibility for points 1-3.
(These first four points are pretty simple and more or less take care of themselves without further explanation. Now we get to the good stuff.)

5)eevee claims he was stolen from on N1. (Rope)
6)faust claims he was stolen from on N2. (Owl wings)
7)Joseph claims he was stolen from on N3. (Owl torso I think but can't find it now.)
8)Joth is found (by eevee) to have the owl wings N2.
9)Joth flips goon treasure hunter.
10)Joth only became treasure hunter after N1.
11)faust claims recruited treasure hunters do not recieve stealing abilities.
12)eevee claims being roped N3, nobody claims being roped N2. (This is relevant indirectly.)
13)joth gives mix the notebook N2.

Did I miss any facts?

Now that that's done, we can start thinking up what ways we have of explaining everything.

(Hopefully) to be continued.
Made some corrections in bold. Left the emoji as is. Added a fact

So in analyzing this stuff, I think the first things to consider are the two claims by faust (6 and 11). If faust is town, then he's telling the truth about those things. That would mean that joth stole from him N2, and despite being a treasure hunter, joth had no special stealing privileges. It seems to me that the only explanation (tell me if you have another)  is some sort of factional stealing ability, similar to the factional nk. That fits pretty well, and also answers the question of, how could thief!joth have stolen the rope N1 and given it to the scum!sailor N2, if he was busy giving the notebook to mix on N2? The answer, of course, is somebody other than joth used the factional steal N1. So all that works out, I think. The next thing to consider would be, did joth lie to his mates about the owl? I was bothered earlier by the fact that joth chose to steal from faust N2 when he already knew that Joseph had an owl piece. It could be that scum has some type of itemcop or owlcop and knew faust had an owl piece. If scum were owl hunting, joth either lied, or there's some other use that mafia had for the owl. But the explanation might be simpler. Maybe Joth wasn't going for owl pieces at all. He couldn't justify owl hunting to his scum buddies. Faust was confirmed in thread to have an unidentified item of some sort, so the mafia targeted him, without specifically aiming for the owl. All of this looks pretty internally consistent, and a viable narrative to explain everything. (And the only viable narrative that has a town!faust.)

Next, we'll explore a scum!faust world.

Questions? Comments? Points you disagree with?
Let me know.   

(Hopefully) to be continued.
Alright let's keep analyzing the stealing. (I'm becoming increasingly suspicious that nobody else is interested in this, but I think it's still worthwhile for my own benefit.)

So, the other road to go down is that faust is scum. This would mean he's almost definitely lying about being robbed N2. Why/how would scum rob scum? So, he probably just gave the wings to joth, then. That's pretty weird because N1 faust offers to trade the wings to town!mix, and then N2 he decides to give it to his scumbuddy? Why not do that right away N1? I guess it's possible that joth only wanted the owl after he got the notebook N1, so on N1 faust and the scumteam had no use for the owl yet. Then starting N2 joth lies to scum about why he needs the owl, or there is some other use scum had for the owl. What's unclear though, is this: if scum didn't steal from faust, from whom did they steal, and especially, if they were going for the owl, why not steal from Joseph? They stole from Joseph N3 (at least if we take Joseph's word for it, which I do, mostly), why not steal from him N2?
@Joseph, are you like 1-shot theft proof, or something?

Long story short, I think there are more holes in the scum!faust narrative than in the town!faust one. But neither is impossible.

I think I'm done meditating on the thefts, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

Joseph, did you receive part of a useful item last night?
I received an item yes
What makes you think that it would be useful to me?

I don't want to say too much yet, but given what you said you wanted, I was thinking what I had was a part of it.  I was going to say that if it was useful, anybody else who has a similar part should probably give it to you.  But if it's not, then it doesn't matter.
Okay without saying too much, yes you're correct, it was partially helpful (as I'm looking for something with multiple pieces)
This is Joseph on D2 more or less openly claiming he has a statue piece. Easy target for scum if they want it.

Post by: skip wooznum on May 22, 2020, 03:26:32 pm
Honestly what's bugging me is, if mail-mi was scum with the rope, why would he blow his cover and block eevee? The risk/reward just doesn't add up. People were more or less willing to swallow that him and me were t and t, as evidenced by the fact that we're both still alive. Using the rope to block eevee would confirm that one of us is scum. And who knows if eevee is even doing anything worth blocking? I feel like I'm missing something.
maybe scum has some owl pieces they've been lying about and were worried I'd cop them? Something's up with the owl pieces, as scum decided to switch to Joseph last night. There's so much we are in the dark about of the mechanics compared to joseph and mafia.
You keep saying things that imply that scum knew you were a cop when they blocked you. I honestly don't know what to make of this. It's just a strange mistake to continually make and I don't know why you're doing it and it's making me nervous. Stop making me nervous. Thx.

If I have time to do some rereading of LaLight of my own I’ll do that today.

Partners, I think that you should do the plan tonight that I suggested doing last night.
This post (unlike the one trying to convince Joseph to join the bad guys) does not really read like a bluff. It therefore gives a slight indication as to who the scumteam is. Would joth give this message in-thread if faust were on his team? I think he'd probably just trust faust to make the right decision concerning whatever this plan is that he's talking about. I know, wine and stuff, but whatever, it's worth pointing out.

Lots to respond to, but I don't have that much time (partner's birthday tomrrow) so I'll see what I can get to here. (and will be on later, at least for some short times to post quick thoughts).

Yes, gave to sudgy, no one claiming they needed it, felt safe giving to someone I read as towny.

You mention the stealing."(I'm becoming increasingly suspicious that nobody else is interested in this, but I think it's still worthwhile for my own benefit.)"

I'm fairly certain I mentioned the stealing a while back, let me see if I can find it: Here it is:

So what do people think about who was able to steal? i.e. I don't think joth could N1, since he flipped goon.

Because I 100% agree with you that there's some weirdness going on here. So thank you for your detailed post on what was claimed stolen and when.

I really don't see why scumapasta would push the 1v1 each day. (unless there's a 3rd sailior, but I've basically discounted that idea). I think that and D4 speak to my being town.

when I said skip vs mail-mi was 50-50, do note that meant a change in the direction of mail-mi. I had been leaning more towards skip until it was pointed out that that would mean scum would've started with both codebook and notebook. BTW, my still unanswered question to the mod (no worries, I know you're busy) was to ask if item distribution was random?

Assuming it's not, I'd be ok with a mail-mi lynch today. I do think the fact above and skip's desire to remind people of the stealing push me in that direction.

It is possible that faust is not scum. I do think it's unlikely.

Am I the only one who things joth giving the codebook / notebook to faust (via Mix) and then faust lying about it (saying on one day joth is telling the truth, and then doling out new info* the next day) quite suspicious? I don't see a valid reason not to expose that the day he got the items. (if true, it would be good info to know more about Joseph's true role, and it would show that Joth was lying, and add to his scuminess factor)

So while I do still more strongly about faust and prefer that, I am currently off the fence on skip / mail-mi. I would love to get an answer to my question on items before we vote, but if I don't I'll assume non random. And that points to mail-mi. I could go with that another day.

And joth gave to him. I guess it's possible joth did that to set faust up? That seems less likely to me, but is a possibility.

Later tonight, I will go back to all the stealing that happened to try to see if I can understand it better.

I'm not sure I like the narrative that scum can steal and NK. (unless that's what makes this a bastard game). It feels more likely that it is somehow tied to roles.

I agree with eevee's analysis of scola's D4. I'd like to just add one thing.

Scola seems to believe he deserves similar levels of towncred as sudgy for his D4. Now, if there truly are 3 living scum, then yes, they both deserve tons of towncred for putting that lynch through before Joseph had a chance to shift alliances. But if there are only 2 living scum, then scum knows there are only 2 living scum. So, you get no cred for hammering caught scum, cuz he's getting hammered regardless. This is fairly obvious. Sudgy's towniness had nothing to do with the actual lynch and everything to do with his entire approach and attitude in his posts around the claim. He was genuinely excited that we caught scum and it showed through in his posts. Scola's posts are almost exactly the opposite. He's hedgy to the point that it looks like he's basically praying for joth to come in and make a reasonable defense of himself and avoid the lynch, and maybe even lynch eevee instead. So, his bid for towncred baffles me, as I think his play was fairly scummy.

N1 A was stolen, b was stolen.

Ppe 3

I did explain my hedging. At the time, I thought eevee was lying based on setup:

"Everyone may pass 1 item to another player at night in addition to any other night actions. Items you obtain during the night through this or any other ability will be given to you at the start of the next day."

To me this mean that if joth had in fact stolen (or was given) the wings on N2, he would not actually received them until D3. Which would have meant eevee was lying.

I was in the process of asking the mod in QT about that (I didn't want to reveal my suspicion of eevee publicly, so he couldn't hedge a defense), and then joth out right confessed. Which is when I hammered pretty much immediately.

I agree with you if only 2 scum, joth gets hammered anyway, but I do think scumapasta would wait at least a little to see if joseph would unvote or some other shenigans could happen. I do know see that my hammering is not as towny as sudgy. Sometimes it's hard for me to evaluate because, honestly, as town, I think everything I do is towny. :)

So while I do still more strongly about faust and prefer that, I am currently off the fence on skip / mail-mi. I would love to get an answer to my question on items before we vote, but if I don't I'll assume non random. And that points to mail-mi. I could go with that another day.
Yes, you expressed interest in the stealing, and it was unfair of me to suggest that nobody was interested. What I meant, was nobody other than you was interested. If you look at my post, I actually start by quoting your post, because it was the catalyst to get me to start doing the work.

About pushing 1v1 each day, I distinctly remember that on D2 galz and mail-mi had competing wagons, and you were pushing galz hard. I think you're confusing pushing the 1v1 (potentially a towny thing) with pushing me and not pushing mail-mi (definitely a scummy thing).

I highly doubt you will get an answer about the item distribution.

Yes it is strange that faust lied about the notebook. But it is also strange that he told the truth the next day. Maybe even more strange, I would venture.

OK, here are skip's numbers, reordred by Night:

N1:
1)Didds claims she was stolen from on N1. (Bullet)
4)Joseph claims responsibility for points 1-3.
5)eevee claims he was stolen from on N1. (Rope)

--

10)Joth only became treasure hunter after N1.

--

N2:
2)Joth claims he was stolen from on N2. (Owl torso)
6)faust claims he was stolen from on N2. (Owl wings)
13)joth gives mix the notebook N2.


--

N3:
3)adk claims he was stolen from on N3, but he had nothing that could be stolen.
4)Joseph claims responsibility for points 1-3.
7)Joseph claims he was stolen from on N3. (Owl torso I think but can't find it now.)
12)eevee claims being roped N3, nobody claims being roped N2. (This is relevant indirectly.)


--

9)Joth flips goon treasure hunter. (11)faust claims recruited treasure hunters do not recieve stealing abilities.)

Partners, I think that you should do the plan tonight that I suggested doing last night.
This post (unlike the one trying to convince Joseph to join the bad guys) does not really read like a bluff. It therefore gives a slight indication as to who the scumteam is. Would joth give this message in-thread if faust were on his team? I think he'd probably just trust faust to make the right decision concerning whatever this plan is that he's talking about. I know, wine and stuff, but whatever, it's worth pointing out.

This definitely feels like confirmation bias.
I very much doubt that it's confirmation bias because I noticed it during N4, when I still thought faust was very scummy. (I waited till now to mention it, but I noticed it a long time ago. I do that sometimes, I can't really say why.) I will admit that it's weak, just not conf!bias.

Lots to respond to, but I don't have that much time (partner's birthday tomrrow) so I'll see what I can get to here. (and will be on later, at least for some short times to post quick thoughts).

Yes, gave to sudgy, no one claiming they needed it, felt safe giving to someone I read as towny.

You mention the stealing."(I'm becoming increasingly suspicious that nobody else is interested in this, but I think it's still worthwhile for my own benefit.)"

I'm fairly certain I mentioned the stealing a while back, let me see if I can find it: Here it is:

So what do people think about who was able to steal? i.e. I don't think joth could N1, since he flipped goon.

Because I 100% agree with you that there's some weirdness going on here. So thank you for your detailed post on what was claimed stolen and when.

I really don't see why scumapasta would push the 1v1 each day. (unless there's a 3rd sailior, but I've basically discounted that idea). I think that and D4 speak to my being town.

when I said skip vs mail-mi was 50-50, do note that meant a change in the direction of mail-mi. I had been leaning more towards skip until it was pointed out that that would mean scum would've started with both codebook and notebook. BTW, my still unanswered question to the mod (no worries, I know you're busy) was to ask if item distribution was random?

Assuming it's not, I'd be ok with a mail-mi lynch today. I do think the fact above and skip's desire to remind people of the stealing push me in that direction.

It is possible that faust is not scum. I do think it's unlikely.

Am I the only one who things joth giving the codebook / notebook to faust (via Mix) and then faust lying about it (saying on one day joth is telling the truth, and then doling out new info* the next day) quite suspicious? I don't see a valid reason not to expose that the day he got the items. (if true, it would be good info to know more about Joseph's true role, and it would show that Joth was lying, and add to his scuminess factor)

So while I do still more strongly about faust and prefer that, I am currently off the fence on skip / mail-mi. I would love to get an answer to my question on items before we vote, but if I don't I'll assume non random. And that points to mail-mi. I could go with that another day.

Yes it is strange that faust lied about the notebook. But it is also strange that he told the truth the next day. Maybe even more strange, I would venture.

True you did quote me.  And I agree I may not get an answer about item distribution, though I'd expect then I'd get "I can't answer that." Silence, currently, I think just means gloobie is busy.

on D2 I did push Galz. Note part of my reasoning was that he was so adamant about there not being a 1v1. So I do tend to think that this push (albeit wrong) was still part of my "it's 1v1" belief. I hope that makes sense.

And up until recently, I was on the scum!skip side of things.

Some quotes, about 1v1 on early days:

Feels to me at this point we should lynch the 1v1, and we will learn a lot from that.

If town vs town, we can give further scrutiny to those who advocated for it (myself included).
If town vs scum, we can give further scrutiny to those who were against it.

And if scum vs scum (different factions), then win-win!

One thing I want to know about setup is how town PRs work*. i.e. as I hypothesized at one point that people who have town PRs can only do things if they get their needed item.

* I'm not saying anyone can answer me directly, because they may not want to reveal their PR

But it does seem likely scum can do things without items. I mean several blocks and steals happened on N1. Unless town could do that without items, of course.

I also was planning on calling out whoever first posted about scum being able to steal and block early in D1, but it turns out that was recently departed DatSwan. :(

so my case on skip continues:

So if scum can do things, wouldn't it make sense for them to claim the same item (and then role) as someone else and then block them from getting it.

I will be sad if we don't lynch one of skip or mail-mi today, or maybe galz. We should have yesterday, before so many moved to awaclus (including all three of the above).

Either way, I do think he's scum. We'll find out soon enough.

I don't, good job lynching town yet again and avoiding every single 1v1 again, great job town proud of ya.

Now claim to get robbed.

Hey, I was on skip all day, and said I wanted to the 1-1 since yesterday. Switched when that wasn't going anywhere. But OK.

Post by: scolapasta on May 22, 2020, 04:58:44 pm
it might be useful (though not conclusive) to see who was in favor of the 1v1 and who wasn't.
(in other words: 1v1v!1v1 :) )

Not conclusive, well because of galz. Actually it'd be interesting to see where everyone who is now dead was.

Also two other quick things before I run (back later). we never found out what galz $ could / would buy, how that worked.

And has anyone looked at how joth (confirmed scum) voted? will that give us any clues?

And the thought of confirming you actually have a baseball cap by giving it to somebody honestly hasn't crossed your mind?

I don't feel the need to confirm I have it. I'd rather it not fall into the wrong hands.
This post is so scummy I can't even.

You have an item. You don't know what it does, and nobody else has claimed to need it.  There is no outside confirmation whatsoever that this item exists. So you're alleging that town!you makes no effort to confirm your claim, indeed feels no need to confirm your claim, and instead uselessly hoards the item for a vague fear that it might "fall into the wrong hands". Scum can steal. They could have taken it from you at any time. You haven't had a single townread at any point in this game that you felt safe giving your item to?

@Joseph, if faust is the only scum left, it doesn't matter what you do, we have majority without you.

If faust is telling the truth, and there's another scum, your best option is to lynch faust today. If you vote no lynch, the game ends tonight. There's no way to know they're telling the truth and that they'll give you all pieces tonight. Better to lynch faust, make them give you a piece tonight, plus you steal one tonight, then tomorrow you steal the last piece. The game goes longer if you lynch faust. Longer is better for you.

We were worried that Joseph was hiding something, so we tried to win on our own terms. We thought if we get all the owl pieces we might activate some sort of special power to help us achieve that. Now we have them all but cannot use them, so turns out we need Joseph after all.

That night Natalia and the Russian appeared outside the tent where I was hiding. They dropped a burlap sack on the ground next to me.

“You can have this,” said Natalia. “Turns out we didn’t need it after all. We control the town now. I suggest you take your trinket and get out.”

The owl was in the bag.

I was on a plane that night. The mob was running this town now, and I needed to be anywhere else.


skip wooznum has died. He was the Town Sailor.

scolapasta has been endgamed. The mafia team of Jotheonah, Faust, mail-mi and A Drowned Kernel has won. Joseph2303, the Treasure Hunter has also won.

True. In my (weak?) defense it was more of a "one of you or mail-mi" and thought you were the more likely of the two. If we had lynched you and mail-mi D1 and D2, this would've been a very different game.

You were definitely scum, with your...uh...townieness, and your...better position in the 1v1...and...uh...yeah no you were town I'm sorry.

Town really dropped the ball this game. Sucks that I helped us with this.

Aight just finished with the speccy.

To those who like me, your comments are appreciated, and I like you too :)

And yes, as was pointed out in the speccy, in retrospect, the correct play D5 would be to get Joseph to quicklynch faust before faust could get online and negotiate. (And it probably would have worked too, what with Joseph being super mad at scum for needlessly stealing from him both nights.) It's just that in my mind there was no way adk was mafia, I didn't even consider the possibility. Forgetting the balance issues of having 4 scum (which have been debated already and I don't want to get into it), there was also the fact that yesterday we very slowly and very deliberately lynched mafia, which is impossible to do if there isn't a town majority. So I was 100% convinced that the game was in the bag. I just thought it would be amusing to see what wild story faust would concoct to try to get out of the lynch (borderline bad sportsmanship but I was really excited for the win). Well, I guess I learned something.

Also, I found it oddly cathartic that scum, out of the goodness of their hearts, let Joseph win with them.

It's strange because I think it would be even more cathartic if they double crossed him. It would serve him right, the way he threw town to the wolves without even a second thought. Also, for not giving mix the bullet.

That was already used up, as we tried and failed to steal from you before.

The redirecting was exclusively for killing actions, so it wasn't used up. The reason your steal failed was that mail-mi jk'ed him which apparently makes him untargettable for any and all night actions.

Trading's anti-town because Pawnbrokers don't need items so there's no reason to do it in the first place. In practice it's a "you traded so you must be scum" "oh it's pro-me so I did it anyway" type of thing.

It says Treasure Hunter won but it was unbelievably out of Joseph's control to win that game, and he only won because scum wanted him to. That was a kingmaker decision all the way.

Not sure what your point is? That is just something that can happen in mafia games. Why would you want Joseph to not have won here?

There's two ways to see Joseph's position: he sided with scum because it's the only way for him to have a chance of winning, or he was kingmaking. I defend he was kingmaking.

I'd be interested to know a little more about how you came up with the design.

I thought that a weakness of the setup was the fact that you told us outright that the "VT" was Generous Townie, which put scum in a very difficult position vis a vis fakeclaim. It also made it hard to pass items around meaningfully. Why force people to give items away?

Rope only had 30 feet, so you could only use it twice. I used the last of it on Joseph the night he was tied up.

Wasn't the night you tied him up also the night he tried to steal?

I agree there was no way for Joseph to win without scum at that point. But we had to try. I don't think we could've gotten Joseph to vote faust that last day.

We just killed too many town too quickly.

I am glad I identified some things, albeit either too late, or to irrelevant:
• that telescope meant swan needed the magnifying glass
• that the hat (though it wasn't a a baseball cap) made you loved
• correct read (which was really sudgy's read) on faust, but it was too late.

Biggest regrets:
• I didn't push hard enough on the Sailor 1v1
• I leaned skip over mail-mi for too long (it started with an incorrect assumption that if two people needed the rope, their roles and usages of the rope would be different)


Overall, I think the game was a lot of fun and worth playing, though it did seem unbalanced in favor of scum - 4 scum, plus no town PRs to start, only if we got the right items, but scum could both kill and steal at night.

And I'll repeat that if there were a way to get an alt win condition (like the owl) it should allow for all players; i.e. non generous townies already had some "spice" with trying to get their items, then there was also this alt win, while we generous townies could do nothing but give items.

Also, it would have been a very different game if faust had played ball with me and let me have a solo win. And I think most other scum partners would have. He's just the right mix of cautious/suspicious...
