HYPE CHAT 2

[heymonkey]

Aeleus leaning town on Reki:

I don't know what to make of not mentioning turmoil right here.

 

[heymonkey]

In retrospect, after Vere's last comment on it, I am certain they did try to kill me last night and you saved me, so thank you! (sorry, Sneeks)

 

[heymonkey]

Okay, with A's posts and Vere reporting "town" AND rac getting no results - I think Pancakes is neutral. I do not think she is scum with them.

I think Reki is, though.

 

[heymonkey]

So thinking this out:
25 players
1 extra death from vig
1 from lovers
1 from hype day

So we're basically at 22 players, really
4 scum + 1 neutral is within range, so if there's one more neutral, I would think there's only four scum, actually. So we may be closer than we thought. I'm still iffy on whether or not there could be an arsonist in this with the extra deaths.

OH OH OH
none of the pairs would have scum + scum, I bet! so that's something to look at!

1. Reki and Stantastic
2. Dr. Monkey and Vincent Alexander
3. rac and LaunchpadMcQ
4. Fat4all and Verelios
5. Blargonaut and turmoil7
6. Kyanrute and Maolfunction
7. Conditional-Pancakes and AllThingsPurple
8. MrHedin and empressdonna

That doesn't actually tell us much but if Reki's red, I bet Stan is clear.

 

[heymonkey]

If I'm right about the pairs, we really DO have this. We flip:
Reki
malus
either Blarg or turmoil if the game isn't over

bam

 

[heymonkey]

ALSO, LISTEN, A REMINDER

about an hour before actions lock, SAVE THIS THREAD. We will probably lose access and that way if one of us dies, the other one will have a record.

Roger, roger! I was gonna save, but not until right before beginning of the day. Glad you brought this up!

I got a little WIFOM with these pairings. Would they be made at random or hand picked?! Hrmm.

Yeah, we will probably lose it when actions lock, so don't wait!

I think coming when it does in the game - not until several days in - it's pretty broken if they are random. buuuut it's a bastard game

bam

Re-reading Reki posts and I have to agree on them feeling scum. I see a lot pot stirring posts that aren't really scum hunting so much as attempting to sow doubt with town. At least, that is how they read when you read with the assumption Reki is town.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Welcome, welcome. I just had to go with the odds, and you made the most sense as a target. And Sneeks the most sense as a middle-ground "might be scum, might be town." Glad it worked out.

Reki does a lot of information in the long reads. TownReki does this also. But yes, I think the doubt-casting, the hesitation, the solicitation - that pushes me toward scumReki. I've thought Reki a good candidate since d1, though. Which I think proves something itself. There have been so many obstacles to this!

Er....with the assumption Reki is scum. Mistyped.

As long as we don't have any last minute shenanigans, I'm feeling good about this. If I die tonight, I'll be rooting from spec.

Dumb question: why do you think Pancakes is neutral? I'm not wrapping my head around it.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Oh, and good morning :)

 

[heymonkey]

Dumb question: why do you think Pancakes is neutral? I'm not wrapping my head around it.

I think they've linked Pancakes and Reki together too much. Mentioning them together, etc. That coupled with Pancakes' weird focus on arsonists (possibly cult and not arsonist?), "death could be beneficial to town at the right time," etc. I lean neutral on Pancakes.

In case I die - I am not certain about the partner thing from the lovers day AT ALL but I strongly believe there are no scum/scum pairings so don't let anyone take it as gospel if you survive me but definitely talk about it!

good morning! My daughter is "disemboweling her breakfast" (a rubber dinosaur thing) so that's where I'm at this morning.

Roger, roger. And lmao. Did this poor dinosaur do something to deserve such a fate?

 

[heymonkey]

Roger, roger. And lmao. Did this poor dinosaur do something to deserve such a fate?

No, it's just that she's a dragon so everything is her prey.

You just gotta roll with it, man.

 

[heymonkey]

I feel like there's little left to be done. Blarg is a mystery, malus is being a little more forthcoming but still cagey, we need to sit on Reki, but a lot is going to depend on night actions. So I feel like I'm mostly thumb twiddling until then.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Yeah...I feel like I'm not being very productive, but I honestly don't know where else to look at the moment.

Should I bullshit anything with my phone action today if I live?

 

[heymonkey]

No, I'd be honest that we chose to lie to try to bait a kill and I'd say why - that we found the phone disappointing, but hoped we could turn it into something useful. Similarly, I'm going to tell them why I lied when we role claim today. I think today will be the day to be VERY honest and straightforward, because that's something scum can't do. This is where we close the box, I hope, and catch the rest.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Roger. When doing full claims, I suppose the smart move is that town asks those we suspect of being scum to claim first? No need to make it easier for scum to coordinate and plan fake claim(s).

 

[heymonkey]

That is a VERY good idea. It's harder to coordinate because of time zones and stuff but we should definitely try, I think.

 

[heymonkey]

I'm going to go ahead and save the chat and then I'll just add anything else we think of.

 

[heymonkey]

wow, we posted a lot!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Yeah, we did...lol. Just wanna say I loved this hype chat. Increased my enjoyment of the game a good amount, even though I was already having a good time.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I was tempted to have a little fun with you, lie and tell you that you're about to flip dead, and that I'm really the last scum just to see your reaction. But then I thought knowing my luck, you'd say the joke was on me, kill me, and win as the last scum.

hahahaha I wouldn't have believed you. I was VERY certain you were the vig. I spent a lot of time on that, btw - tracking reactions, who didn't react, what people did, trying to sort who could NOT be the vig but still seemed town, who seemed fake, etc.

 

[heymonkey]

Regardless of any pranks you might have pulled, though, I too have very much enjoyed this chat. It was so nice to have someone I could TRUST to talk with, work with, bounce ideas off of, even more so than in the thread. Thank you for partnering us, Fanto!

lol. I was very afraid that me flipping from quiet as a mouse to, "watchu say?" and popping out of my shell towards Faddy was going to give me away.

After Faddy claimed, I messaged Fanto in order to prepare her that I might have to shoot Faddy. I was nervous about shooting town Day 1, but the post that sealed the deal was:

No. you always claim as vigilante. If someone else is vigilante they don't even have to counter claim me, they can just shoot me in the night.

Faddy told me to shoot them. I'd have been a jerk not to acquiesce.

 

[heymonkey]

hahaha true!

bye, friend! I'll miss you!

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Good bye and good luck!
