I think thats role dependant to be honest. Theres quite a few uses to keeping a chat. I just specifically wanted this one to be lost after the Night.

I checked back, Zeke asked me if he had to paraphrase his own posts and then specified he meant his reads list specifically. I replied saying he could paste his reads list.

I didn't expect either player to copy swathes of the chat somewhere locally and then paraphrase it entirely. That sort of removes the entire point of losing access to the chat afterwards.


I'll be clear in subsequent chats and games.
Ok yeah, that makes sense. Because I think at the time that Zeke asked you that, we were talking about saving each others lists in case the other died so we could share them. When you said it was ok to post our own, but we had to paraphrase the other, I think we both took that as you approving of our plan but telling us not to copy/paste them directly in the thread. But that obviously wasn't what you intended with that answer, so yeah, that was just some miscommunication I think. My bad.

Why.
Disagree with Stuart there, lynching coolest gets rid of potential noise and they're in an alright position to do it.

We've did the 'wait for the review thread' before, it's a nothing point. Frankly, what Coolest has done so far is acceptable from a legality of play perspective (minus the gif spam), so a review thread won't clarify anything.


It's the same as the fake red check stuff in previous games, there's nothing to add as a rule there because its a valid play. It's just a valid play that a lot of people don't like. So you deal with that through policy lynch.

Yeah, I’m about over everyone using kid gloves when it comes to people that join games just to shit them up. How many post-game talks have people had with Coolest where he apologizes and says next time he’s going to do better just for another game to start and he shows up to take a dump on it? Policy lynch people that spend more time trolling the games than playing them. Eventually they’ll either change or stop playing.

I umm, don't know? I didn't know there had been any. Other than maybe Marvel.
 
SweetNicole tore into him pretty good after Kingdom Hearts if I remember right.

Oh yeaaaah. She also gave quite a few good advice tbh.

I will say @CoolestSpot for whenever you reach here, please no more fake gambits and claims. I mean I hate being mean to people ^^;; but if we see another one and someone wants to policy lynch for it, I won't say no to that.

Why.
As a counter, I'll say Coolest: do all the fake gambits and claims you'd like.

Within reason, I'll lynch you for it.

to clarify, I mean the type of claims you've done like in this game where you claim and then take it back a few hours later. And then claim a note and none of us are sure what to believe.

If you're scum, fake claims are fine, just not the type you've done as town. Where you claim and take it back over and over.

If that makes sense ^^;

If you're gonna go crazy with the goofiness and the silliness and the gambits and stuff, at least take a page out of Blarg's book and make it meaningful.

Blarg might be utterly crazy, but there's a method to his madness that isn't merely random.

Yeah, this is why I never liked when people compared CS to Blarg. From my experience with Blarg, he is a very good player regardless of alignment.

When he was Scum and I was Town, I never really wanted to lynch him until it started becoming obvious that he was lying. When I was Scum and he was Town, we wanted to kill him right away because we knew he was smart, looking at the game from a different point of view as everyone else, and probably up to something. Turned out he was a cop.

For CS? I've only ever seen him as Town and I've always been fine with people wanting to lynch him. That's not good.

Yeah, fake claims, gambits, oddness can all be acceptable if you are able to get results from them. I get that plenty of people play these games for fun and don’t care a ton about the results, but if your strategy leads to you consistently being a detriment to your team and you consistently see people getting genuinely frustrated by it maybe you should reevaluate.

It doesn't help when instead of explaining it, he just goes *shrug*

Can't blame people for being annoyed about it

Yeah, I don't know why he doesn't just say that in the game thread lol. It almost felt like he let his guard down when he was one on one with me haha, whereas in the game thread he needs to keep his usual demeanor going at all times I guess.
Well, looks like we got our wish and he finally explained himself in the game thread lol.

Hey Fanto,

even if they get Faddy, do you think they will get the others with the way it's going?
I'm not sure, I think there's a chance though. As long as no one gives LP a pass for the scum reads on Sophia, which it doesn't seem like anyone wants to, then I could see him going down. DCPat is tougher to justify right now I think. Faddy is the one they need to go for first though I think.

It depends though, I hope they see the light, but I could see them going for a lot of mislynches before they get everyone. Alexem, CS, Absolutbro, Z-Beat are all lynchable in my book. Then Zeke has his connection with me, Melon can be scumread easily. So yeah, I'm not sure yet. They definitely need to lynch Faddy ASAP though I think.

I swear to god, if people give Faddy a pass because "Well, Faddy vs. Sorian though" and "He's never been Scum before, so obviously he would be a master level Scum player!" I am going to explode.
Stuart444 said:
Why? Because it's his first time in the 'know' aka knowing who's scum, knowing everyone else is town or neutral. Having to try and lead town to lynch other townies, etc.

So his playstyle is changed because it fundamentally has to change. He has to 'try' and act like he's town, but that's all it is. trying to 'act' and the act is failing.
Exactly.

So DCPat started the Alexem train (weakly), but the only real "I think he's Scum" vote is from GP, and it was just something he threw out there before leaving for Thanksgiving for the day.

I would hope no one else will join on the Stu vote. Zeke seems to be town reading him for now pending future flips, so I don't think he'd even want to put his vote back there today.

The votes on Z-Beat are weak votes that I would hope aren't going to go anywhere.

Stu's vote on Faddy is the best vote of the day so far honestly. I'm amazed no one else has voted for him yet after all the thought he's put into that scum read.

Your first scum game can be pretty terrifying. You think constantly of your actions hurting your team more than the all out attack mentality you tend to adopt as town.

Faddy just needs to go after players who are being scummy but who are not scum.

There's a good few that a case can be made for

As for the game, just got caught up. I am very nervous about how this will go. I like how Stu is trying his best to rally the troops though. He knows his read and vote on Faddy are the best of the day.
 
He's had no sleep. At all.

So he's probably not even going to see days end and is putting in as much effort now as he can before he sleeps whenever he does.

It's unfortunate so many players in this game have been feeling under the weather in one way or another. I think Gorlak had said something about feeling sick, you were feeling sick on D1, and now both Sophia and Stu are having troubles with insomnia. :/

That's too bad.

This is the second time someone has referred to voting for Faddy because of Stuart's read to be "voting blindly".

NO IT ISN'T!

Voting blindly is just randomly choosing someone to vote for. Voting blindly is looking at who is in the lead and placing a vote for one of the two trains without actually trying to get a read on them.

Voting for Faddy here because of Stuart's scum read on him is the opposite of voting blindly.

I read Malus' post as meaning this isnt the only game she had low posts.
To be fair here, my meta on Melon got completely swapped after how different she was in Conspiracy compared to GoT.

In GoT, Zeke is right, she was a high post count player if I remember right.

In Conspiracy though, she was a lot more quiet. This feels about the same as that, and that's Malus' only reference for her behavior since that was his first game.

Honestly, this is how I see it right now:

People have been saying that Faddy is probably just Town, because he always is, right? So therefore, there shouldn't be much about Faddy in this game that is all that different from how he has been in the past. Faddy is an easy town read usually, he's always active, he's engaged, if people are scum reading him he usually defends himself well and keeps pushing for his targets.

However, what's happening in this game? People have been suspicious of Faddy, he's not an easy town read, he's not been very active, he's not very engaged with what's happening in the game, and while people are scum reading him he is sitting aside and not really defending himself or doing any scum hunting work of his own, even this close now to EoD.

At the very least, Faddy is not playing like anyone who has ever town-read him in past games is used to seeing him play. That should give them all the ammo they need to want to vote for him and see his flip.

Same. I was expecting him to come in with a bus vote where he just says he Town reads Stu and agrees with him.

Well there's the thing...

I roleblocked Z-Beat on Day 1. He can easily weave a story around that and lynch Faddy for easy town cred. It's probably what I'd be doing right now.

But LP doesn't seem to be posting at all :(

This is either going to be a short run to the finish or a chance for town to cannibalize themselves. Best option for scum is likely divorcing LP from anything Faddy or DC. I can't see Stu not going down the DC rabbit hole and if he dies then town's going to prop up his Faddy->DC connection. Chances he survives are small.

For what it's worth, Sophia PM'd me on Discord the other night and we had a good talk, so I'm not really mad about anything anymore. Still somewhat salty I didn't get to play past D1, but oh well.
