FILM TRIVIA AND MATH CONVERGE INTO A PERFECT READ GOOD JOB
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
AMBULANCE didn't you say you were a Dog too? You never said what kind, what kind of dog are you
Hawthorn
I'll explain my reasons later
If it's between Chuggs and Neki I would prefer Chuggs. I would also be into the dogs, Randomless, and HP. This all being for tomorrow. After tomorrow, because of the possible spread of infection, I might have to reevaluate some of my town reads.
I don't think we should share the claims made in this thread with the other group, of course unless one of us is caught in a contradiction or something.

Oh, yeah, no need to tell the whole thread about the claims. At this point I'm operating under the assumption that all 9 of us are still uninfected. (May change when morning hits) Assuming there's a low number of infectors in the other half, there's no reason to give them information.
What I'd like is to solidify maybe two or three targets we can spread our votes on and watch how the other half reacts to it.

I'm in agreement with that. I'm not certain that we're all currently town, but I'm comfortable operating as though we are for now. I think Chuggs should be near the top of the list, but it's possible he'll show up with some convincing explanation of why he's missing, in which case we should be prepared with an alternative.
Also, we should make sure we all make notes before day start, because I'm pretty sure this thread will actually disappear, not just be locked from posting.

you can vote to test me, I don't care. I'm sure there will be people in the other half who will want to test me anyway.

Isn’t testing done at night? Or do you mean us just identifying who we’ll be voting for at night in the thread?
I dunno a power to not leave the base doesn’t seem very scummy to me personally, and behavior wise I wouldn’t say Chuggs was particularly scummy.
I think I’d recommend voting the dogs starting with Nat (Sorry friend!).
I think that's a typo.
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
Wild idea, what if the infection spreads through quoting each other (which counts as close contact?), maybe we should stop quoting each other just to be sure (but if this is the case it's too late) ((but do it though))
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
...nah ZATP wouldn't have the time to keep up with that kind of contamination mechanic, back to reality for me
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
Also, I'm thinking we should ask players to Name-claim AS FREQUENTLY AS POSSIBLE
What if THE THING as scum has no fake names to employ because it has to be somebody who already exists?
Maybe we can catch it out through witnessing a double Name-claim of a same name

Finally something we can agree on.
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
...unless that's mitigated by it always being a nameless Dog and never a person...
Z-Beat, does your role have a way of finding dogs?
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
...no it would still work gameplay-wise if there are name conflicts, therein lies the dilemma(s)
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
Players having to fight over an identity
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
THE THING wouldn't Name-claim as somebody then Name-claim as somebody else the Day after as that'd be the most obvious tell... which does NOT eliminate the possibility of it being able to transform into different people... just that we have to establish everybody's Names ASAP
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
oh yeah you're right
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
or are you
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
isn't THE THING capable of doppelganging?
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
oh wait yes you are right ignore me
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
wait so why are people agreeing with me about the mass Name-claiming if there's no doppelgang danger
to find the dogs primarily
Hawthorn
I'll explain my reasons later
Yeah, I don't see any purpose to a mass name claim.
Why do you want to find the dogs?
Why do you want to find the dogs?
Working off flavor, one of them is probably the thing. It's a good place to start at least, same reason why you want to test the ones in here as soon as possible.
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
But if HP is correct, the mass Name-claim would reveal exactly five (5) dogs, with one (1) of them CANONICALLY being THE THING Dog ergo scum, yeah?
So that's why you want a Name-claim yes, purely for the dogs? Right? Correct? Affirmative?

ok yeah I get it now
Natiko
Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
Apologies Neki!
I don’t have any weird paraphrasing nor do I have the exploding wincon.
Maol and I both crumbed the dog thing, and the sample role PM didn’t indicate that’s what a vanilla would be. Additionally, Ambo did something that I won’t get into for fear of it skirting role PM quoting rules, but it makes me very confident he’s also not lying.
Well that sucks
Yeah, I’m fine being tested
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
spare me this Chaotic Neutrality, you bring that book down right now if you got some dirt that can help us sort out the dog pool faster
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
if HP's calculations are correct, worst case scenario if we Old Yeller Of Mice & Men all the five (5) dogs that's at least one (1) guaranteed THING
My role PM specified that I'm a good puppo, and Ambo said the same thing. I think that's all it is.
same. I don't have the explosion win con either
Hawthorn
I'll explain my reasons later
I don't think we can be THAT sure that one of the dogs is the Thing. I know it fits with the flavor, which is compelling evidence, but not conclusive, could also be that in our game the infection starts with a human.
The reason I don't want a name claim is because this will DEFINITELY tell the things where all the power roles are (all the humans) allowing them to direct their infection targets at the humans.

I think we can't operate with the notion that the thing isn't going to get that information pretty quickly. I don't expect the 9 of us to be left uninfected very long, so I do think the thing will get a big chunk of info to use pretty quickly anyway.
If there's a chance to kill one infector right off the bat, I think that outweighs the downside of the thing getting information on who PRs are. They still won't know which roles are more desirable right away.

I have no objection to name claims being pushed for.
I’ll just say it’s a spelling thing. Maol can maybe connect the dots if he checks his role PM.
oh, I see it. yeah, that confirms it too

I also don’t have it.
Natiko
Town's Friendly Neighborhood Serial Killer
Yeah, there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind we all started as vanilla town.
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
I have it
Blargonaut
SCUM UP!
I'm joking I don't
Yeah, if he doesn't show back up I'm not against that.

Not interested in shooting Neki. As the morning approaches, I'm feeling the idea that there is a good town PR there. He did not have that much of a presence in the main thread, what is a typical thing for some town PRs to do. I disagree with staying silent, but currently I don't think it is what scum or the Thing would do. Or perhaps he needn't worry, since he has a manipulative power that will make me shoot myself (it is possible btw, there is no mention of other player in my PM, go for it o glorious manipulative powers, wherever you are).
Shooting a dog sounds more enjoyable. Random.org said that I should shoot Natiko in that case. With the doggies confirming each other though, I'd have to play with the idea that the Thing-dog (if such may exist) either had the dog PM in addition to their own, or that the transformation happened when the night fell. Something like that. Other than random.org, I guess I could use the reasoning that I expect nothing but perfection from Nat so obviously he has not been performing as expected. Don't feel like shooting Maol, he is doing things. Ambulance is in the middle.
Could kill EC. Getting answers out of him might be difficult. I don't fancy shooting Randomless after a reread, he was the one sole energetic being in the whole thread D1.
Coming back to the idea that Nat-who-is-getting-shot-maybe? mentioned about guessing the assimilation target... it's haaaaaaard. It'd be best to get people who aren't going to get tested, the whole regular cult thing. Something like Vere, Mazre and anex from Team America, me, HP, Ambulance and Neki from Team Norway. Adjusting the latter group based on the events in this chat: drop all but me.
