The Hip Costume Party Across Town

Kitsunelaine

hi i'm a backpack
hey at this point can I get full spoilers since it feels like we're so close to lylo

I wanna know who to root for

Current suspects are Wee/lokiduck/Soneji/Absolutbro/Sparks
 
All I'll say is that we're not as near LYLO as you might be thinking, this is a 20 player game on day 3 after all. Stakes are just rising quicker than usual.

If scum has a strong kill I think it should had shot sparks/soneji instead to ensure having an odd number of players left(ie removing MYLO and going straight to LYLO)

Now they have to play wifom with a doctor if they are out of strongkills

Yeah let's lunch a tracker claim over a vanilla claim what could go wrong

I hope most of those players are scum

If we're in the world where LP and Kalor are Scum together, then I think the game makes sense. Didnt LP vote for Kalor one time? Who would be Scum with these 2, besides Nin who they should get rid of before LyLo just to be sure.

Ok I looked at the vote tool now. I think Wee is Scum with them. Probably one more though, and if it's not Nin... let me look at the votes again quick.

Ok so it's either Stu, AB, or Stan. AB is the spicy one, Stu is medium spice, Stan is mild.

Aeleus has the call on spoilers and deciding on how long to tease you all with the truth. And considering some of these guess teasing is the fun option lol

Really at this point I'm just here for potential fires. Aeleus has been running everything and has been doing an amazing job.

Btw, the vote progression graphs for D1 and D2 are a total mess. I guess this format isn't really suited for larger games...

I can still post them if you want, but just know that I did warn you.
There was one thing that I was hoping for from malus subbing in and that was his graph game. I'm glad he's not disappointing.

That AB read list confirms my above Scum Team tbh. Bussing LP and Kalor, but keeps Nin below them, and then hard town reading Wee, but has her below me, Stu, and Loki even though his actual words seem to say that he has her as his Top Town.

Picket should be a mafia term but I don’t know what you would use it for
Picketing is when you have a completely opposing viewpoint to someone else and you openly protest against their reads.

Alternatively, Picketing is when the Scum Team rallies behind one of their own and openly protests against their lunch.

Since I verified he didn't move on N1 unless he is a ninja I don't understand why they don't just leave malus for later
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Malus is a bad vote imo. The reasoning is mostly based on Bae not being around very much, nothing Malus has done has seemed Scummy to me. Loki is just pot committed to that read at this point apparently, Sparks is just sheeping her, Wee is Scum, and I think Soneji is only voting there because his Lover is.

They should swap to Kalor.

They'll just stop talking until tomorrow now. :P

But no, good call, I probably should have done extensions for quiet times during LiS as well but I hadn't really seen that happen in the past so I didn't know I could.

Stu is currently Picketing Wee.

Also, the Scum Team is currently Picketing for Kalor.

For this one it's because of the holiday. Normally you wouldn't extend the phase because of quiet players...it gives Town an edge over Scum since they get more time to discuss.

I don't even know what they're talking about in there anymore.

Zeke: Why did you think Kits was Scum?
Z-Beat: I already said.
Wee: I'm being vague on purpose.
Stu: Kill Wee please.
Sparks: I have no idea what's going on and I also don't seem to have any of the facts about this game straight in my head.
Zeke: *truffleshuffle*

Apparently me thinking a dayvig shot is NAI is a scumtell lmfao

Town, it's okay to admit you didn't have good reasons for a thing. Digging further just makes you look scummy.

No judging though. Well, okay. A little judging. Okay, actually, a lot judging.
 
Can someone quote the post where Zeke admits that he shot me for Sparks?
Here you go

Ok...... so that was me. I’m daphne. Day vig. I have my butler “remove” a person. I chose Fran because I thought he was purposely creating noise when he said his poking stu was a shitpost. That was like his first time saying that.

hi i'm a backpack
A day vig who has to post the command in the thread is NAI.

A dayvig that can shoot by PM is likely town. If not scum is just getting a free secret kill.

An extra shot during the day for scum that they can post in scumchat isn't OP. Scum can sometimes get extra NK's, so what's a dayvig between friends? Depends on how the rest of the game is balanced, really, and we've only had one PR flip IIRC.

The big difference is that NKs can be messed with. They can be prevented (doctor), tracked, switched, blocked, etc. A day kill can only be prevented by BPs.

A secret day kill usually is really OP for scum. Obviously depends on the rest of the balance of the game but if there is a day vig who don't need to use their command in the main thread they are very likely town.

Yeah but I guess my objection and something that we can both agree on is that "very likely" isn't 100% certain, as well as the fact that Zeeks could be lying and the real shooter could be hiding. Given this game, it... Well.

My suspicion is mostly born from the fact that I can't think of any good reason a Townie would take you out. I can't think of a good reason a day vig would even USE their shot D1 if they're not obviously on the chopping block. It seems like a thing you'd keep close to your chest until you have a solid read. Not something you'd throw out like a day after the game starts. Now, if Scum were in the position of holding that power, I can absolutely see them taking you out this early.

Oh, yeah! Two game roles revealed so far, then.

Stu appears to be seeing what I'm seeing now more or less. He saw it from a different angle though, with Wee and Kalor being Scum together instead of Kalor and LP being Scum together.

I think any one of those three would be a good vote today.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Zeke is at his most Zeke when he is accusing people of role fishing, and Soneji appears to be having some culture shock in terms of how people around here treat role claims.

Meanwhile, LP is just trying to get people to vote for Z-Beat instead of his partners, Wee and Kalor lol.

malus said:
I also don't really understand the sudden push for wee. I hope this is not again Stu having solved the game while nobody believes him.
Come on, when has that ever happened? I mean, apart from all those times where that's exactly what happened.
 
Just found out huber's shenmue 3 livestream is happening during day end.

The sacrifices I make for mafia :P


Edit: Even now I'm pretty sure I'm being confused for Saenima, 'not Aeleus' indeed. >:(
Wee said:
If i’m wrong about malus, it will be a shame, but he alrady claimed vanilla, so it won’t be such a terrible downside. Not great of course, but not like killing the doctor. Or that time I totally tortured aeleus, who I think still hates me.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Seriously though, if people really pay attention to this day phase, there is like a whole faction of people in this game that are pushing for anyone but Wee/LP/Kalor/AB, and that faction consists of exactly Wee/LP/Kalor/AB. Also, the name of that faction is the Mafia.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yeah, he's probably the Scum RB, hence why the team is trying to keep him alive so badly right now.

No for real, I'm not playing this game anymore. I don't know how to play anymore. I have completely lost my ability to read people as Town or Scum or to analyze votes for clues.

I will stay in the Discord I guess, but I am not going post in here anymore, I am not going to continue following the game, I am not going to follow the OT anymore, I am not going to sign up for any more games. I may or may not run games still, but probably not.

Maybe you just need a break? Also this is just a crazy game. Throwing it all out forever seems like a move.

I'm catching up now and woof y'all. Woof. I don't know the logic behind people making some of these claims.

you should just give it a break for a bit and then hop back in. Stepping away for a time helps get yourself back into it.

also it's not helping that scum is playing alright and town is playing extra scummy. everyone is blending in.

However this Day End is really really important for Town if they look into it. Kalor kinda had the right idea when he posted that 'a scum lunch today will be by sheer luck and not by another other means' since they really fell into Malus. There were a few people that were on Malus due to scum reads (wee stands out to me) but the others were either just against Kalor or shifted from the claim.

Town can nab more if they pay attention to who shifted, who stayed out of the KalorxMalus fight, and who showed up last minute. They can clean up a lot if they do that.

Fanto you shouldn't stress yourself over your reads. Noone is going to be right every game. If they were there would be no game.

This game is supossed to be fun. Just don't worry about your performance and try to enjoy it.

Besides, I'm pretty sure that you will sign up for Conspiracy.

Might as well share the alignment spoilers for those who want them
Malus, Absloutbro, Lone_Prodigy and EzekelRAGE are the mafia. There is no neutral

*truffleshuffle*

So Zeke was scum? Why shot me? My reads where really bad.

Pre game Zeke said his plan was to shoot one of his allies when they were about to be lunched to try and cement a town claim. He shot you without any prior warning and later said he wanted to see if he could get away with it (he was also starting to get paranoid about getting cop checked)

Don't be too hard on yourself. Nobody gets the whole scum team right on D3 and
you had 2 out of 4 down which is more than I usually have
.

I feel like I'm a better town player when I'm scum, since I actually put effort into my reads then.
 
Before I forget here's some interesting trivia, doesn't spoil alignment but does spoil the existence of a role and how it relates to Scrappy

Scrappy was actually a godfather up until the game was put up for adoption. There is no cop.

I was convinced Stu was actually a cop that checked me N2 and got town due to the switcher

a godfather with no cop in a game is not bastard and i will die on this hill
Scrappy being a Godfather was considered bastard since it was lying about an alignment clear. But a Godfather being in a game doesn't confirm a Cop!! it just suggests it!!!!
 
Hey all.

Subbed out cause I'm just depressed as fuck today (borderline suicidal...) and I just wasn't feeling able to continue.

Sorry for leaving you in that position VA!
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
Agreed - you're a good guy, Stu, take all the time you need to get yourself on track. We're all looking out for you. Same to you, Fanto - I think a breather from mafia would be a good idea if it's getting you down. After you've stepped back for a while, I'm sure you'll feel better joining back in down the line. Mafia's fun, but life comes first - games can always wait.

Damn, this game took a toll on a few people huh, hope y'all come back stronger!

As for alignment spoilers
I knew AB was up to something!
 
Just to make sure it's obvious, for me, it's nothing to do with the game. It's just due to the way I'm feeling, I felt I'd better just sub out.
 
Holiday weekend was brutal. Just now catching up with this game and my professional opinion is that it's complete nonsense and the points don't matter.

Town had no business catching scum there, Stu was making the most sense even though he was ultimately incorrect, but Malus should not have been the lunch in town's current position.

I'll be straight up mad if town wins this game through sheer luck.
