Spectator Thread Doctor Who This Ain't - Spectator Thread

[weemadarthur]

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.

 

[turmoil7]

I thought the night was going to be 48hs

 

[turmoil7]

If tonight's target is vanilla I will cry

 

[turmoil7]

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

 

[turmoil7]

Personally I think it is the later due to conspiracy being in

 

[turmoil7]

The most awful possible situation just crossed my mind

Spoiler

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

 

[turmoil7]

@Grizzly chugger switched his vote

 

[turmoil7]

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

 

[cabot]

hello. I've been murdered.

 

[turmoil7]

role pls

 

[turmoil7]

and hello

 

[cabot]

I'm a mason.

 

[turmoil7]

dammit

did you caught my breadcrumb?

 

[cabot]

Probably not.

I was struggling to read you.

 

[turmoil7]

Spoiler: mason partner

'Fanto, Could a Blarg write that much and not indulge on contradictions later on? Only time could tell'

 

[cabot]

lol.

I never read into stuff like that, it would never have happened.

 

[turmoil7]

Did you share a chat or only knew aligments?

 

[turmoil7]

I was hoping you voted for Ket because you caught it t_t

 

[cabot]

Did you share a chat or only knew aligments?

We shared an energetic and enjoyable chat.

 

[cabot]

I was hoping you voted for Ket because you caught it t_t

I voted for Ket because in response to my post asking her questions, she ignored it and continued to scumread those who threatened her and only defend herself.

 

[turmoil7]

@Grizzly mason access pls

 

[turmoil7]

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

Spoiler

Town certainly doesn't have a full alignment cop

 

[cabot]

oh now the fuckers are trying to blame my drinking?

fuckin cabot of all peopble is throwing shade at me enjoying a peaceful drink before by day off?!?


fuck these guys

Yo, I'm trying to stop drinking.

I saw the light and it was the vomit stained toilet bowl.

Welcome, travelers! You're about to take a magical journey through the Tunnel of Love! For your own safety, please keep your hands, arms, feet and legs inside the ride at all times, and please watch your children.
We are currently in the process of loading our boats up over on Outer Mafia. If you have any trouble, please contact Grizzly, Rover or RetroMG. If you find yourself assigned to multiple boats please do not access the thread, and contact a ride administrator right away!

Thanks, and have a great trip through the Tunnel of Love!

Oh god

 

[RetroMG]

Oh god

You're telling me.

 

[turmoil7]

What insane amount of work, thanks for the game guys

 

[RetroMG]

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.

 

[turmoil7]

What would had happened if there was an odd amount of players left?

 

[The Bear]

What would had happened if there was an odd amount of players left?

One threesome

 

[turmoil7]

Be glad it happened a Sunday lol

 

[The Bear]

I was considering making lover-pairs, but that would have been impossible to balance, especially if this was triggered late to the game.

 

[Geno]

Goddamn HVV was so close, hoping for D4 although they might not do it because it will be a bit late into the game.

 

[RetroMG]

Be glad it happened a Sunday lol

lol I was actually rooting for another day. Sundays are family days for me. During the week around this time, I've got my daughter napping and I'm chilling on the couch.

 

[The Bear]

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.

 

[turmoil7]

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

 

[turmoil7]

Would the masons had been paired together?

 

[The Bear]

Would the masons had been paired together?

yeah

 

[turmoil7]

1. Fandorin & Brazil

lol

 

[The Bear]

1. Fandorin & Brazil

lol

I chuckled when the rng results came in.

 

[turmoil7]

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

Spoiler

Fandorin is vanilla cop

 

[turmoil7]

Is Sorian claiming namecop? What?

 

[The Bear]

Is Sorian claiming namecop? What?

nah, he was refencing the joke what the masons flavor was coming from (heroes vs villains had include and verelios fuse into one player, includious).

 

[turmoil7]

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

 

[turmoil7]

How is vanilla cop a scum role? lol

 

[The Bear]

How is vanilla cop a scum role? lol

Scum team could use it to figure out who is PR. Basically a weaker version of role cop.

 

[turmoil7]

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)

 

[turmoil7]

I wish I roll town vanilla cop one day

 

[turmoil7]

Thanks Sorian for the help with my claim

 

[weemadarthur]

“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]

Spoiler: a town pr

I wonder how the vanilla cop feels about claiming in the future now lol

 

[turmoil7]

Spoiler

As Fanto is confirmed he could just command rac to do his bidding, that could be bad, hope he lets him be free

 

[saenima]

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]

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.

 

[turmoil7]

Spoiler

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

 

[The Bear]

I'm interested to hear your guess.

 

[weemadarthur]

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.

 

[turmoil7]

@Grizzly

Don't tell me if I am right or wrong

Spoiler

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

 

[saenima]

Ok that makes sense. I still think it's a flimsy claim and will give appropriate side eye.

 

[Stuart444]

Just looked at the game, lp hasnt made even one post today?

 

[turmoil7]

LP - lean town

They should probably policy lynch that slot but there are many leads that they want to solve today

 

[Stuart444]

I vote for mod kill lol

 

[turmoil7]

Spoiler: town pr speculation

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]

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

 

[turmoil7]

It feels awkward to have the whole thread talking about me lol

 

[turmoil7]

Spoiler: a town pr

is it blarg and his reads are fandorin and fireblend? Thinking emoji

 

[cabot]

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

By that I mean completely ignored it.

 

[Stuart444]

Someone spoil me here. Chuggs: Scum or Town?

 

[weemadarthur]

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

 

[turmoil7]

Someone spoil me here. Chuggs: Scum or Town?

Spoiler: chuggs

afaik not scum

 

[Stuart444]

Spoiler: chuggs

Spoiler

Great, I haven't gotten scum vibes from him personally, just glad I'm correct on that (I also had a 1 shot BP claim once but my circumstances were better when I claimed haha. Still I feel for him)

 

[turmoil7]

Spoiler

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

 

[turmoil7]

Can someone ELI5 the difference between commuter and bus driver?

 

[weemadarthur]

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

A commuter just goes away and leaves an empty place.

 

[The Bear]

Let's see what happens now that Faddy has told the thread he is a doc.

 

[Alexem]

Will they believe him?

 

[The Bear]

Will they believe him?

I wonder. Usually doctor claims aren't lynched unless countered.

 

[The Bear]

now we have two doctor claims!

 

[turmoil7]

Who? I am following other vote mess

 

[The Bear]

Who? I am following other vote mess

Ketkat counter claimed

 

[turmoil7]

Spoiler: Spoilaz, friendo

Oh ket is the doctor

Don't give your actions as doctor

Unless you lie about them

 

[turmoil7]

I can't edit the post above, I should had put a spoiler tag on it

 

[Alexem]

Come on Zeke, it's hammer time!

 

[turmoil7]

Isn't majority already?

 

[Stuart444]

HAHAHAHA, oh fucking hell Chuggs. Well done, laughed out loud at that.

 

[turmoil7]

That happens for stealing Zeke's show

 

[Alexem]

Damn it Chuggs, you foiled a perfectly good Zeke trap!

 

[saenima]

Damn.

 

[The Bear]

that was fun

 

[Stuart444]

oh fucking hell, I feel for you Chuggs.

Can't even be mad though tbh, that was fucking hilarious

 

[Faddy]

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.

 

[Faddy]

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]

That would be incredible

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

 

[The Bear]

Love boat day did end in double kill.

Poetry.

 

[Verelios]

#Hubris

Should've let Zeke hammer Chuggs

 

[Chuggernaut]

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.

 

[Stuart444]

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.

 

[Chuggernaut]

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.

 

[Chuggernaut]

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.

 

[Chuggernaut]

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.
