Mason Thread Mario Kart: Double Dash |Mason| Double the Fun

[Natiko]

Welcome to Mario Kart: Double Dash! All rules from the main thread apply here as well. To avoid any sort of silliness, all regular Kart chats are formatted as "Bowser / Bowser Jr. Kart" as an example.

 

[Sorian]

Also I’m confused are both our carts Bowser/Bowser Jr. or did Muffin and I just happen to be the example?

 

[Poltergust]

Wait, so we basically already know 4 town players off the bat?

There are no alignment shenanigans going on here, right? I remember back in Conspiracy Mafia I was Lovers with someone Mafia-aligned. I don't want to get burned again lol.

 

[Poltergust]

Well, we're Koopa Troopa & Koopa Paratroopa.

...I call dibs on Koopa Paratroopa. :>

 

[Natiko]

Just the example. For the other two it would be "Koopa Troopa / Koopa Paratroopa Kart"

Well I mean we're all basically two players as one, so not really different to normal masons

Except we're 4 people arguing in here

The PM specifically calls you town masons and I assume yours does the same for us so we should be good.

 

[Poltergust]

Yeah, it did. That's why I thought we were four confirmed town lol.

(Or 2, I dunno.)

 

[Sorian]

Easier to think of this as a 15 player game and we are 2 confirmed town. The pairs is just another mechanic layered on the normal balance of the game.

 

[Sorian]

I’m shitting up everything so far. Excellent hours 1 and 2.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

gu gu joob @Sorian

what the hell did you do to get day zero cop phrase thrown into the discourse

 

[Sorian]

Go forth and just cause as much of a mess as possible, they can't lynch us and someone will have stumbled somewhere when looking back at connections after the first scum flip.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

holy shit Im in mason chat with sorian

whatttt

 

[Poltergust]

Since Sorian and Muffin are apparently Bowser/Bowser Jr., I guess team identity is completely irrelevant for this game. We can potentially have Mario/Luigi be scum, for instance.

 

[Sorian]

The second I saw that we were bowser/bowser jr., I immediately assumed mario/luigi would be scum. That's not why I'm scum reading Geno/Terra but it doesn't hurt lol

 

[Poltergust]

I have to say, I’m very curious about these track modifiers that we can vote on each night phase.

Since we’re double the normal amount of people in a kart chat, we have more influence over how the next day phase will be modified as long as well all agree on a particular vote. Of course, scum would likely have the upper hand for the time being since they most certainly outnumber us right now (I’m expecting 3 scum pairs).

I'm sure those track modifiers are where the "unusual" mechanics come in as opposed to the roles themselves. Expecting a lot of vote manipulation type stuff.

 

[Sorian]

It's weird, Monkey is faking those read lists hard, I know it's early game but she's not playing them off as jokes or weak takes or anything. She's presenting them as real early game solving but they are just self serving a bunch of OMGUS reads.

 

[Sorian]

Worth mentioning, if one pair dies, the other pair shouldn't claim mason right away. Better to sit on that info until as late in the game as possible.

 

[Muffin]

I just had an amazing idea, but you'll need to give me an hour or more to work it out

 

[Sorian]

That's fine, I start heading to work soon anyway so I'm going to be absent for about an hour or so.

 

[Muffin]

It is done.

 

[Sorian]

l o l

Probably too obvious to also force it to keep Poltergust/Sparks as low on the list as well but ace none the less.

 

[Sorian]

Ah the mid part of day 1 where people think they will kill be

 

[Poltergust]

If you are on the verge of being voted off, though, then I feel like I should probably interject with the role claim.

 

[Sorian]

Oh yes, of course, that comment was more for if one of us is NK’d. I’m not expecting us to hit the verge of being voted off today.

 

[Muffin]

Man I just spent like another hour making this joke tool read real data from the vote tool

 

[Sorian]

Man I just spent like another hour making this joke tool read real data from the vote tool

It’s good to have hobbies, I’m very impressed by your dedication tbh

 

[Sorian]

She won’t directly engage with me is the issue at the moment. I’ve given her a lot of chances to even poke fun and she won’t. I do agree that her frustration is feeling townie but that’s real weird. In regards to Monkey.

 

[Muffin]

I think this is the first time I actually coded something outside of work, so same

 

[Muffin]

The frustration she expressed is the main point that makes me lean town, it didnt seem fake. But yeah, that part is weird.

 

[Sorian]

She might also just be frustrated too, she hasn’t been feeling well and then now her parents sick too could be getting to her. It’s hard for me to read much from the frustration on its own.

 

[Muffin]

Hm hard to place what Faddys reaction make me lean towards

 

[Sorian]

Hm hard to place what Faddys reaction make me lean towards

This is his normal stance to mafia so unsure if it means anything, he believes lynch all liars as a theory like 90% of the time even though that’s proven useless for our community

 

[Muffin]

Ok I future-proofed the tool for every mafia game to come, now I'm really done with it for now.

 

[Poltergust]

no one is ever going to call you that.

Everyone is sure in for a surprise later down the line lol.

 

[Poltergust]

Day 1 has always been a sore spot for me but I'm finding it extra hard this time around to get a good footing in there.

 

[Poltergust]

I'm fine with the Faddy vote considering he's acting weird and malus is a complete non-entity, but I don't think I'll hop on to the vote train just yet.

 

[Sorian]

Now that people are realizing what I've been doing, kind of, I think there are some good cracks to investigate, I just don't think I have the time tonight.

 

[Poltergust]

...Care to explain? Because my eyes have sorta glazed over all this early-game activity. <_>

 

[Sorian]

...Care to explain? Because my eyes have sorta glazed over all this early-game activity. <_>

Once Faddy announced that he's known for awhile we were innocent children (wrong guess but he did assume that awhile ago), the reactions people had are probably worth something, jman for example probably isn't scum, he wouldn't double down like this if he knew we weren't scum, I think.

 

[Poltergust]

Based on what I remember of Jman in Risk Mafia, he really does look to me like flustered town.

 

[Sorian]

Thread is getting weird

 

[Muffin]

Yep, no clue why people are frustrated with the game outside of personal stuff. A few fake claims beat a boring D1 with nothing to go on for sure.

 

[Sorian]

Imagine none of the rest of the thread goes off and we just do the boring lynch on Geno/Terra

 

[Muffin]

Ok I future-proofed the tool for every mafia game to come, now I'm really done with it for now.

So this was a lie

The tool now additionally shows players who are either dead or won in no particular order.

 

[Muffin]

Also I'm not feeling any of these lynches

I'd be up for Bear and Sawneeks I think

 

[Muffin]

Oh lol Faddy claimed

 

[Muffin]

Ah the mid part of day 1 where people think they will kill be

Looking at votes now this was very accurate

 

[Muffin]

Booo, the ZippSlip turned out to be nothing. Goddamn corporate VPN.

 

[Muffin]

Not feeling either Faddy&Malus or Chuggs&Hedin, but if I had to choose, I guess Chuggs? Faddys claim seems legit and the way he's going about it all seems very stubborn town

 

[Poltergust]

There's too much going on for me to get any proper say in. <_>

I'm not sure what to make of Faddy's tracker claim. I guess he at least gave us enough time to parse it through, but I dunno if I quite buy it yet.

 

[Sorian]

Not feeling either Faddy&Malus or Chuggs&Hedin, but if I had to choose, I guess Chuggs? Faddys claim seems legit and the way he's going about it all seems very stubborn town

Without the claim, I think I vote Faddy/malus there. Claim means not worth voting there yet even if it could be a lie. I think both those wagons are bad either way.

 

[Poltergust]

I dunno, I'm starting to feel more that voting off team Maddy is the way to go. I can't really see myself getting on board with the other trains.

 

[Poltergust]

Yeah, I think that's where my vote will remain. I'm not going to contribute to this EoD chaos.

 

[Poltergust]

Uh... so who got voted out?

We didn't tie, did we? :<

 

[Sorian]

Lol if we killed the doctors first we really are back in the meme territory of this early community

 

[Sorian]

I have no clue where the votes were at

 

[Poltergust]

Good, no tie.

 

[Sorian]

Probably for the best, mildly expecting that Faddy played me based on malus’ reactions

 

[Poltergust]

Aw, Faddy was town.

 

[Sorian]

Phew, wasn’t played

 

[Muffin]

I wish I had a good excuse that I was MIA for the last hour but in reality I got lost in the business management minigame in Yakuza 7

Sorry, wasnt my intention

 

[Poltergust]

Phew, wasn’t played

I... don’t think that’s how you should react to losing a tracker.

 

[Poltergust]

Is there a keyword we use when voting for a track, @Natiko ?

 

[Muffin]

I'm for voting Rainbow Road

I'm that kind of masochist

 

[Sorian]

I... don’t think that’s how you should react to losing a tracker.

Eh, tracker in a role madness is kind of useless. Very few chances at gotcha moments.

 

[Sorian]

I would also vote rainbow road tbh

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

Rainbow Road

sorry for being out had to turn off my phone for my sanity

 

[Poltergust]

...I kinda want Baby Park

 

[Sorian]

Depending on how flavor heavy this was made, there is a case for us choosing bowser’s castle too lol

 

[Sorian]

So actual game thoughts btw, do we believe the last second doctor claim? I honestly thought Zeke had way more votes and that was just a last second fuck let’s try something, but with how the votes were, that actually probably did save them. I was even ready to unvote if I had had a better grasp on how many votes were out.

 

[Natiko]

Is there a keyword we use when voting for a track, @Natiko ?

Just highlight it. You all get individual votes just like in the game thread.

 

[Poltergust]

OK, fine, maybe Baby Park will show up some other night.

Vote: Rainbow Road

 

[Sorian]

Rainbow Road

 

[Muffin]

Rainbow Road

 

[Sorian]

Rainbowroad

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

Rainbow Road

 

[Sorian]

Rainbow Road

:V

 

[Poltergust]

By the way, whenever I say "Sparks" when referring to the kart chat I'm talking about all three of you. :3

 

[Sorian]

lol I assumed as much

 

[Poltergust]

No track voting? Booooooooo

Also, wtf Sparks; Launchpad and ATP literally admitted they were scum.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

I feel it was forced tbqh altho tbqh I haven't really read all of it

 

[Sorian]

Wonder if the switcher tried to kill us again -_-

 

[Poltergust]

Hm, Sawneeks is making good points about the how weird it would be for scum to both RB and NK the same person, and that if they were to RB anyone it would've been the doctor so that they'd ensure a NK.

Something about all of this seems... off.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

Something about zeke seems off... don't quite know what it is

just off about zeke claiming doctor and handwaving suspicious shit

 

[Sorian]

Zeke doesn’t know how not to be sketchy as fuck and from how active Zipped tends to be, I wouldn’t be shocked to find out Zeke is making most of the calls. I can’t lynch that spot yet in good faith because 60% chance Zeke is just screwing up his own game.

 

[Muffin]

The "Neeks killed Monkey and put on a Monkey costume" bit seems plausible, but who would be other scum? Is there a case for wee and Febe? Kind of felt weird about them so far.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

I'm leaning on weebe as scum

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

Should I roleclaim

 

[Poltergust]

Why? We're not quite in danger yet.

 

[Nomad Sparkster]

Is BearNeeks town?

 

[Poltergust]

I don't get a scum-leaning from them right now, at least.

 

[Sorian]

Should I roleclaim

The answer to this question is always no

 

[Sorian]

The "Neeks killed Monkey and put on a Monkey costume" bit seems plausible, but who would be other scum? Is there a case for wee and Febe? Kind of felt weird about them so far.

It could easily be wee/Fire. I think we kill geno, saw, Fire, lux and the game is over. Maybe MAYBE Fanto or Zeke but I feel like they'll become obvious over time.

What makes you think Blarg is town?

 

[Sorian]

What makes you think Blarg is town?

Something about Blarg’s targeted jokes and L_P’s questions makes me feel like they are solving.

 

[Muffin]

Are these fools really going to push us now to get the mason claim

 

[Muffin]

Oh wee claimed vig

 

[Sorian]

Did she?
