Well so much for a 40+ day game. If the deaths keep piling up like this, this will be over in no time.
I've only played with him in one game and we were both Scum but he was quite happy to bus me despite me being the second most powerful role as the Scum Cop during that game. It's not out of character for him to bus and he may sacrificed himself because the role he protected was more important than his (in which case I worry about the scum PRs if he thought he was worth sacrificing)
Why else would you think a player who from what I know is a pretty good player would give up so easily?
But I'm not saying we should make that THE reason to lynch Verelios but I do think it should be reason enough to keep our eyes on Vere and the other potential candidates in the future.

No not really. Just gives me an eerie feeling especially after monkey said you were sounding too harsh earlier just to join the vote.
Y'know, I'm not gonna risk a modkill and link past games but I sure went and checked, and there is ONE WAGON (lol it was you) in that entire game where Sneeks and I were the first one on it. ONE. Out of all the wagons - and there were quite a few. So man, nah. Don't be daft. If I wasn't that sloppy in my first mafia game, I doubt I'd be that sloppy here. Tell me a reason you townread Ynnek enough to push this in the first place.
Well what about what I said earlier, how Gorlak who jumped onto the Grizz train early, unvoted with nothing but the unvote command and no mention of why (and mostly ignored from what I saw) and then jumped back on near the end.
That was really weird.
it was a joke, dude

Fair.
I agree with you that it's really weird. Let me take a second and read it over again but I did make a note of how he admittedly jumped on a 'bandwagon' with that vote.

HI CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS BULLSHIT MORE THO BECAUSE WOW THIS IS THE WORST DRIVE BY POST EVER
come at the citation king and you best not miss, muffster. I have receipts.
but i'm cool with hugging it out <3
Between the two vote leaders of Vere and Rynam? Rynam.
I also suspect Alexem is scum and is hiding a vote on Rynam.

There was a lot going on yesterday but can you explain what you meant by this?

gotta keep you on your toes, monkey. <3
What do you mean by your last sentence? aka what makes you lean that way?
Why do you suspect that?
And why do you think Ry over Vere Is it meta because otherwise, it's pretty much a guess with no posts apart from the event posts to look up.
Just curious where your line of thinking is.

At first I thought this was a quote or something from a movie, but googling doesn't bring anything up. Not the best attempt at trying to appear involved.
I would also like to remind people about the ITA stuff, if you haven't looked at or don't remember the rules:
Just incase people missed or forgot this, the ITA windows aren't open for a huge amount of time (and I'll certainly miss the first one) so good thing to remember if you want to be around for one or all of them.

Also he didn't reply to my post when I turned his question around on him.
If Ry went, he'd be my second choice for an ITA after that drive by.
eh, actually thought Extreme was Lux for a hot minute. Both have mgs icons and have been doing these kinda roleplay-y posts and haven't said a whole lot.
Extreme talked about lynches and Ferg and that was pretty much it d1. Lux had a really terrible no justification bandwagon vote on Verelios and then switched to Rynam later. Also like every other post is about Blarg not being there yet. Tbh wouldn't mind either becoming an ITA target after we get out the people who are completely inactive.

Grizzly rubbed me the wrong way by coming at me after the event, but never placing a vote on me.
Alexem later did the same thing, which I addressed in my response to him. Still no vote. Which is odd because it’s the exact same goad Grizzly used later and got lynched for.
There’s a possibility I’m just blinded by resentment? I did kinda touchdown dance when the punishments got handed out.

Well if they talked about it in the scum chat and then used it in the thread, I can see why you would think him I guess.
Not sure if I agree but it's a good thing to keep in mind.
Went back cause I remembered talk about roleblocking and stuff.
Can you expand about what you meant here? Just a bit confused if this is a joke or about how he was roleblocked or what.
Sorey if I don't really post much. Most of what I want to post gets posted before I can post anything.

I'm glad your are contributing.
The N2 thing being referred to is because he usually dies by N2.
(I only remember this because it was mentioned when he was killed off in Monopoly)
That said, the whole "We can worry about Grizzly" bit makes me wonder what he thought about Grizzly before/during the train (before he made himself an easy target) since I don't remember if he commented on him much.

Uh, post it anyway?
Staying silent is zero help to town and you want to help don't you?
Not helping. There is a lot of information that gets repeated and people converse with each other. I'm sure you could find something to post about if you really wanted to.
Is there anything that has been said recently about votes on Grizzly you have thoughts on?

You should still say it, though. It can help give us an idea of where you stand on things.
Correct, meanwhile I have to set that damn alarm :( Damn other people not in my time zone.
melonrabbit

Yeah, Monkey replied and took it like we should worry about Grizzly later b/c he was roleblocked though and Alexem didn't really tell her that wasn't what he meant. So I do want to clear up I guess.
He sat out the Grizzly lynch and was expressing doubt about the motives of any last minute train so I don't think he was scumreading Grizzly.

So who shooting?
Who's shooting who? Are we gonna be organized about this or continue in anarchy.

Well we get one per day, not one per ITA so gotta be careful but currently I'm aiming for Rynam
Not sure if it ups our % if we all shoot at someone (like was speculated earlier) but I'm doubting it and think it may be better to go after different inactives to get rid of some of the 'dead air' I think.
I seem to remember me replying to Hecht who specifically said Grizzly was roleblocked and so he'd worry about him later?

Actually thiking about that more i have to wonder about the wisdom of trying to wrangle this herd of cats into any kind of focused direction, It seems like it would give many an easy out of having to justify or hell even really consider where thier ITA is aimed.
it would be a bigger miss to sort out in the immediate aftermath but i think having players action be their own could be a lot more fruitful later down the line,
at least for my style of reading people at least.

A game large enough that even monkey of all people can forget her own posts on only day 2,
what madness dimension have we entered?
what madness dimension have we entered?
You've only ever stated that "Shouldn't waste an ITA on me", not anything on what other people do or even about discussing it in here.
Just able to post. Holy #$@ 4 deaths! We've come a long way from Buffy. I know its 50 players and we have to move it along but could they be knocking out 4 players a night ? This game will be over quick.
I'm glad others have called out @Kawl . What would the point of a townie creating more chaos in the final hour of voting? It looks even worse when we ended up getting a Scum.
But wouldn't that be horribly inefficient ? If we organized we could just work our way down the list. If we each have 15%, statistically i'd think we were bound to get a hit with 6-7 people focused on 1 person. If scum is taking out 4 of us a night, we have to be able to match them somehow.

I would agree. It's only gonna cause unecessary division.
I took a moment to think about this, and I don’t have a stellar answer for you. Seeing no one else vote for Verelios in the day 1 event is a part of it. I’m willing to believe that event’s result was a hasty response that spiraled out of control, especially with how Vere and Geno were behaving afterwards.
It’s not strong reasoning, but I’m sticking with it for now.
On this case, we'd be bound to get a hit but less likely to hit scum
if it's RNG fully, everyone aiming at different targets means if we get lucky, we'll multiple hits and maybe one of them will be scum. Downside of this is we may get multiple town
Also being on different people than 'organizing' gives scum less of a chance to hide since they won't be able to bandwagon on an 'organized' shot
Stantastic
Our Badminton Stanpion
efficiency to what end tho? like do we have that many we are so certain we need shoot?
i dont much care about causing more deaths at the moment, more about the material from which to read people on.
So it's less being sure about Ry and more ruling out Vere due to the earlier stuff you mentioned? Fair enough. It's D2 now and we'll hopefully have better feelings on stuff by the end of today I'd hope.
But... I would also say that I don't think we can afford not to use ITA ASAP. We need to thin the herd.
Also, does this forum have threadmarks? It should.

also i'm going to go sleep sometime soon but i'll probably wake up early enough for the first ita
gonna shoot some inactive, rynam and briefscat stick out on the post list. trigger also has like 3 posts but there's at least a little more there.
also agree that we shouldn't organize. even a failed ita on someone who flips scum later would help with reads and scum could hide/control w organized stuff.

like if there are targets that many agree we should shoot, then i image many people will shoot them regardless right?
Obvious targets shouldn't really need organizing if they are indeed obvious targets, and if they arnt obvious then people wouldnt agree to said organising
but really i just want to be able to hold people accountable to their actions.

Are you posting these opinions in another thread?
Exactly. If a poster is able to control the conversation if we were trying to organize, it'd be bad for Town. Likewise, scum could hide behind a town members organizing. So bad idea.

Maybe if we all shoot at Blarg it'll unlock him.
I hope he survives the ITAs today. I'm curious why everyone is so obsessed with him coming into the thread >_>
Blarg is an experience.

Feels like weird posturing. Also not sure what the point of this soft claim would be. You take the time to fake claim the TD as a gambit to presumably get reactions. Now you try and discourage people from shooting at you instead of taking the opportunity to see who could be goaded into a suspect shot? Any chance you can shed some light on your motivation?
You, yes even you lover, are better than this.
Why are you against discussing shots before hand?
Eh, I’m not convinced. Why wouldn’t he just do it in the scum thread? Only way it works is if Stuart did the first post or two of his own volition and then Grizzly coached in both threads to stage a reason for him to backpedal.
Not sure this theory makes a lot of sense. Vere was also punished right? So it wouldn’t fit to sacrifice himself for Vere due to the roleblock (plus Grizzly’s abilities were pretty strong). That leaves Rynam, but with how hard Grizzly was pushing Vere I don’t see why he wouldn’t just continue that path in this scenario to get Vere lynched instead. They’d basically all have to be scum for it to even start to work.
Sooo you gonna be around some more orrr..? I’m used to you posting as little as possible, but D1 your output was bad for even you.
Hmm, that does read like stalling. I hadn’t noticed that when I looked back. Something to keep in mind, but he does have an ‘out’ in the roleblock so I wouldn’t say it’s firm evidence.
I’m shooting, probably going to wait for the second or third set though to gauge if any inactives actually step up or not.
We shouldn't discount that possibility either. We might have been lucky and had mostly scum being voted on.
Though it begs to question how powerful their abilities would be for a freaking RB Godfather to give himself up.

Unlock him? I thought we couldn't interact with him?
Ynnek7
OH MY GOD, THEY LYNCHED YNNEK
Thats the mysterious entity, which people were joking about being Blarg, but I don't think is actually the case.
Also since you bring this up, isn't that even more curious? Why didn't he continue and instead roll over and let himself get lynched. He's better than that unless he had a good reason for letting himself get lynched.
But I'll drop this for now (well I did mostly earlier) but keep the idea in my head as we move through the day and see what happens today.
Hey, @Ynnek7, if you could shoot someone in this thread right now, who would it be?
If you could give someone a bulletproof, who would it be?
Same questions to @Stuart444, and hell, anyone else who wants to answer.
Not yourselves.

He may not be the Mysterious E.
Right now. Ry or Kawl.
Ry because inactive apart from his opportunistic eventing
Kawl because he frustrates me after the whole fake claim, his 'gambit', his soft 'claim', etc. Think there is a good chance he's scum or neutral
Bulletproof: Probably Melon. I've read them as Town for a while and nothings changed how I feel yet.
Ynnek7
OH MY GOD, THEY LYNCHED YNNEK
Actually, just thought about this since Stuart quoted a post from Mazre. Once the low activity posters are taken care of, it may be worthwhile to avoid discussing future ITA's.
We already saw that Gamora had the ability to boost the attacks. It's possible that scum might have a similar ability to boost an attack if they think it will be used on town, or maybe a way to lower the chance if they think a target will be scum.

Who is Blarg anyway?
I was going to mention this earlier but resisted for a bit since there was other stuff to discuss at the time but
I'm guessing since that was a Boost, they probably have a Boost as well. Hell, maybe multiple boosts for both Town and Scum. There may also be a power that turns down the %
I think it makes sense to have people that and boost or decrease the chance of a successful shot. The chance isn't even huge (15 the default) so maybe one that takes it down to low or null aka basically a BP for ITAs only.
Can't be sure but it's worth considering if we're talking about ITA modifier powers.
melonrabbit
The only good kind of melon
That's a loaded question.
When he arrives you will know and you will never be the same.
Why would there need to be boosts? Aren't Mafia kills usually point and shoot?
Well shit. Now I want to know! I love life changing events! Like childbirth or assassinations!
Not ITAs. see the ITA section for the rules.
They aren't like the Kill Commands issued by Scum during Night or Vig shots issued by Vigs.

Ynnek7
OH MY GOD, THEY LYNCHED YNNEK
I'm not really sure about who I'd bulletproof. Probably either Melon or Splinter. I felt they both responded pretty well to the thunderdome. A part of my would give it to Blarg just because I'd love to give him more of a shot at playing in case he's picked off during the ITA.
I might shoot either Ry or CoolestSpot. Rynam for the event antics, and Coolest due to his opening post powerclaim/fish.
Oh shit I forgot everyone had a chance to use that.
Yup but you only have one shot per day phase, not one per ITA phase (3 ITAs in one day).
So be careful when you use it, you won't get another chance until the next day phase.
