Spectator Thread Doctor Who This Ain't - Spectator Thread

Mad as in angry, or mad as in crazy?
With a green check alleged on ketkat, and one pretty certain gameplay-wise on Fran, and a sorta-cop claim from Bae, tonight is a target rich environment for scum. Wouldn’t know what to do if I was a doctor.

Bear when designing the game, did you take into account that some games/modifiers could be more popular than others? Or were modifier names and effects matched by rng?

Because I believe non existent games and older seasons games are less likely to be chosen

The most awful possible situation just crossed my mind

player 1, who for some reason is trusted by player 2, is the doctor and heals player 2

Hope it's something pro scum, although I think likely isn't as last day phase's was so pro-scum
 

turmoil7

Well, masons and override are 3 confirmed townies in the setup, so my guess is

Town certainly doesn't have a full alignment cop

What insane amount of work, thanks for the game guys
:D Posts like this make it worth it.

It genuinely baffles me how many people thought the Love Boat modifier was ever going to be something other than this. Bear's not going to just put the Love Boat name on any old thing that doesn't require a zillion new boards.*

*In fairness to Grizzly, he built all the love boat boards. I just had to assign people to them.

I was considering making lover-pairs, but that would have been impossible to balance, especially if this was triggered late to the game.
 
Goddamn HVV was so close, hoping for D4 although they might not do it because it will be a bit late into the game.

I'm still guessing it will be chosen, since people assume it will bring items.

I fear this will be pro-town, there is no reason for not claiming if you are matched with confirmed town, that will close paths for scum

This is my guess of who is a town PR based on a spoiler Bear posted before

Fandorin is vanilla cop

We would eventually had attempted to kill flux so it is not all downsides
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
What I mean is, the role ins't inherently scum, I would keep a vanilla cop claim if there aren't contradictions(there were on my game so my lynch was justified, ie selling PR Flux on my claim instead of switching to rac or someone else)

“I mean, pocketing townies is a thing, I just don't know if turmoil's play was nuanced enough for that (though he did do a deep pull for that fake claim which I'll either give credit to him or a scummate for.”

Is sorian claiming credit for himself here lol? It’s the sort of thing he always says that makes him easy to read after a couple days play.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I wonder how the vanilla cop feels about claiming in the future now lol
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
As Fanto is confirmed he could just command rac to do his bidding, that could be bad, hope he lets him be free

I'm with Blarg on this one. Why is everyone just taking Pirate Bae at face value? Since she vouched for Ketkat literally no one has questioned it until Blarg.
 

cabot

Why.
Yeah, also masons and a cop on town side is quite powerful.

I Should've hammered that point more in the Mason chat. I only mentioned casual suspicion.

I think I finally got the 'spin' of the design

If it is what I think, I should had noticed before day one

What a fool, mostly because this is what I like the most in designs

I'm interested to hear your guess.

With 22 players left, it does make sense to look elsewhere than a claimed cop tho. Scum would need to go for them at some point, giving a flip, or a late-game lynch would verify all the previous checks.

@Grizzly

Don't tell me if I am right or wrong

The vanilla cop "is" the alignment cop. Our goon "is" our godfather and what I love is when a weak role is actually a strong role
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
at first I considered Fandorin more likely to be the vanilla cop because he asked about how I received my result, but I had AB close second because he was pretty quick witted regarding the Neapolitan play style

Now I am leaning on AB as the vanilla cop
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
I've learned to think that that the more active LP is, the dodgier he is. Quiet LP seems to be town LP.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
is it blarg and his reads are fandorin and fireblend? Thinking emoji
 

cabot

Why.
I see ketkat has taken my point about bae pocketing her to heart.

By that I mean completely ignored it.

Faddy looks like a weird neutral who doesn’t give two shits. Arguing that replacements mean scum? Seriously?
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I haven't played with Flux before, so if he isn't usually a mechanics paranoid player, I would think he is a neutral who has to play/avoid certain games to win or some other weird wincon

Pretty sure a bus driver is a switcher.
Moves two people around.

Oh ket is the doctor

Don't give your actions as doctor

Unless you lie about them

Hi. I probably should not have claimed as eary as I did but I was taking the chance of not being counterclaimed.

In the mood of the thread I was sure I would be in the running right until the end.

Actually the worst thing that could be in play is that Kyanrute is actually the doctor and told ketkat to counterclaim in boat chat.

That would be an issue and some next level play. Me and Dcpat were going to do that kind of shenanigans in GoT before he was savagely night killed.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
That would be incredible

And kyan wouldn't have reason to not trust ket as she is green checked

I was on a 15 minute break in class and I was quickly trying to catch up on the thread. Once I saw the Ketkat claim I skimmed the rest of the thread and went down to vote Faddy and didn’t even realize I hammered till after the fact when I saw the Zeke’s post above mine. I laughed and decided to poke fun at Zeke for not getting it. Then I blew up.
 
On the one hand, it'd be worth it to snatch the hammer away.

On the other hand, I'm reminded of that game where Zeke was a Bomb Defuser and didn't do his job the one time he had to.

I feel like scum is getting unlucky with the town kills though. If they didn't kill Cabot there I would of probably spent most of the day phase scum reading Fanto and Cabot. And if I didn't die then some people would of spent all day discussing how's there's too many protection roles or whatever.

Neeks asked me about my role in our boat of friendship, and I told her the truth, but I had a thought later that I should of lied and told her I was ordinary to see if I could bait a NK if she was scum, but I went boom so I guess that doesn't matter anymore.

Also, I'm starting to realize that I'm very bad when it comes to early game. I survived in my first game because I was new town gave me some leeway, but every other game I've had to save myself by claiming. Once we start getting deeper in the game, I think I do a pretty decent job of figuring out who is scum and what not, but I'm always trying to talk myself out of getting smoked early game.

Yeah, I wouldn't say I'm great early game myself.

I think for many of us though, we do better later in these games when we have more to go off of.
