Lol yeah that makes sense. The kill didn't happen so can't know who they wanted but this was my thought yesterday

Makes sense for scum to just leave kyan and bojack on the table, Sneeks too to let things repeat.

So that checks out haha

Leo, how frantic are the fake claims being cooked up in scum chat rn?
Well, they're taking their time, doing it at their own pace, we should get them sometime before D4 ends lol

I'm curious to see what they will come up with.

Throwing this in spoiler tags since it involves some of Leo's hints. Scum spec/discussion:

LP in the woodchuck chat. Pain, I knew something about when Anex chose to rolefish on D1 was off lol I had barely got to questioning it before the EoD though lol then died, pain.

LOL VA's comment about the NK targets.

Salva wasn't the target, he protected the real target AKA ATP. What makes it even funnier is that ATP said in woodchuck chat "oh good I didn't get killed on night 1 again" :laughing:

So thank you for your sacrifice Salva \o/

I really like Bojack's post this morning that begins with "Let me run through everyone's claims so far". If town can get behind this post , I think they're on it.

Leo,
assuming WSD is town (I still think it's most likely Malus here after LP, I would only look at WSD or HP if he was cleared), my guess is Fethry works as sleepwalker more thematically than anything to do with his appearance, kind of how you matched Donald with cryptic messenger? Wiki tells me he's very eccentric and is kind of in his world cooking up ideas. I see how sleepwalker fits with that.

Yeah, you've nailed it haha. Fethry isn't canonically a sleepwalker specifically, but he's the most likely character to be one, since his entire thing is that he's eccentric and weird. I needed a Sleepwalker in the game because of all the trackers/watchers, so Fethry fit that the best. Also his hat looking like one of those sleeping hats is a fortunate coincidence lol I wanted to give him something else so the player wouldn't feel they're entirely negative utility, but the game had too many powers already and I just couldn't fit another one just for the sake of it. Forgive me, WSD!

Okay, i feel we can go full spoilers from now on since everyone has seemingly figured it out already!

Remaining scum is LP and malus.

Launch is neutral, but EC isn't.
 

Leo

Quack Pack King
Launch's powers are exactly the same as EC's.

They can commute to go get treasure, in which case they will be immune to any night actions except for stealing. When they commute, they get 1 quackillion dollars.

Or they can self watch, they will get no money and be immune to stealing, on top of catching anyone who targets them.

EC began the game with 3 quackillion dollars, Rando with 1. Rando wins when he outriches EC, and if that happens, EC dies.

Mafia still has a player that is able to use the money they can steal from either Scrooge or Glomgold for something ... And on top of that, Scrooge had the dime, which Magica could steal to get the double kills.
 

Donnie

Mafia, pocketed, or dead N1
Haha okay. I definitely had Anex on watch, the LP godfather check, I honestly can't say how I would have taken that or if I'd caught it in game without the hints in here but yeah, with LP in mind I've thought for a little bit here it had to be Malus also, the other claims all check out and get too complex. Sometimes it really is the two players barely posting and who claim almost last lol I can't believe I died night one and Anex/Lp and Malus have less posts than me still haha

Now scum knows who both scrooge and glomgold are, and they know they can steal from them to get a power up, they just have to pay attention to who will probably commute and who will self watch tonight (both could self watch, true, but i doubt launch will since he needs more money to win)
 

The Wizard

Confidently Incorrect
No, they tried to kill rando lol he was commuting, hence why no kills
Ah right I got these mixed up, EC was self watching while Rando commuting.

Kinda sad if Launch loses due to not realizing his starting disadvantage lol, he now needs to drag the game out (which could very well happen)

Oh, and btw something has been puzzling malus forever now: on N2 he stole from Ty (Darkwing Duck) and got money, but where does Ty having fit money fit in this?

It goes down to Gladstone, who won the lottery on that night and won 1 quackillion dollars drawing the attention of all thieves in town. Gladstone passively redirected malus' steal to him on that night, that's how he got the money.

Fate is being informed of the effects he's having on the game, but he's keeping it close to his heart haha
 

Leo

Quack Pack King
What was Malus really doing on Sneeks, he is a straight RB?

malus is ma beagle, a JOAT. He has a 1-shot roleblock and 1-shot rolecop, and he can buy more of these shots by exchanging 1 quackillion dollars that he can obtain by stealing.

So yeah, on that night he roleblocked neeks with an extra shot he got

I gotta say, this is a really well designed game lol so many interesting interacts and opportunities for different roles to catch people in the act or block lol it's great, and it's really tested assumptions. And I like when the flavour ends up a really meaningful part of the game haha
 

Leo

Quack Pack King
Haha yeah, Bojack nailed it when he speculated that the game was supposed to be high info. Duckburg is a small town and the press is an important element in both the classic and remake, so i wanted to have a lot of people seeing a bunch of things during the night and then bringing it in the morning to see who would trust who.

It's also an experience with investigative roles, in that being a lot of them isn't garantee that town will win the game. They still have to work together and solve, because if they don't know who to trust, information doesn't help at all.

And yeah, i couldn't design the game without going full on crazy nerd on the flavor haha it was really fun

Yeah Sneeks scum reading malus was the best shot at town hitting scum today I think. That said I think town are very likely to win with all the cards on the table, it might just take 2-3 days to hit scum.

I'd agree but it feels to me like it could really go either way right now. Before today I was like "town is fucked if they don't sus out LP" but people are actually susing him so maybe there's a chance :D

Watching town try to solve this is making me hyped to do a game review.
Too much confirmation/information? Yeah probably, that's why there is a godfather mole to subvert it
Too many JOATs? 2 similar roles which complement each other and share flavor seem fine..
Too many trackers/watchers? Yeah probably, which is why town got a negative utility sleepwalker to disrupt that.
Too much protection? 2 commuters, a bodyguard, doctor shot, a protective item from the item giver (+whatever VA has if not the same) and a jailor who can block killers and victims.. hmm yeah maybe that is too much :D

Of course this line of thinking will always be predicated on what scum have to counter it, so town can't solve from it alone - e.g it would be reasonable to assume that so much protection might lead to a strong kill. All this info gives you is towns strengths, which hint at scum strengths to counter.

Kyan flip will be :( after fighting to save him day 2 only for him to get a green on the godfather.

LOL scum kept Kyan alive hoping he'd check LP and sure enough \o/

They also kept Zeke alive to get scum in the chat :laughing:

They rolecopped him night 1, and Anex knew about it ahead of time which is actually why he said Junior as Bojack pointed out :eyes:

malus was even telling LP to breadcrumb more he was recruitable only for LP to get recruited anyways because of Anex' work XD

malus living through to next day should be a red flag for town. Interestingly malus and LP are town reading each other currently.. malus putting LP as town because of godfather / mole likelihood while scum leaning Ephi and not fully town reading Zeke seems like the kind of thing Zeke might pounce on if he can get out of his tunnel.
Malus claiming he jailed LP could be an interesting out, but risky.

Zeke tomorrow if Kyan does this: alright so there can be a mole in the woodchucks, we still vote Kyan
Poisonsip.png

Zeke planning on lying about his target to the woodchucks to see if there's a mole. I guess he wants kyan to check him to see if Kyan says his actual target or the one he told the chucks because if it's the one he told them it means there's a mole and they told obviously scum kyan.

This is of course not factoring

1. Scum blocking Kyan
2. Scum blocking him
3. Scum killing him or Kyan
4. There is a mole, but Kyan is town.
5. Holy fuck Kyan is town Zeke.

Okay that's actually a pretty decent plan. You're right about the counters, but from a town POV scum should be wanting to kill malus tonight and wouldn't want to block Zeke (wouldn't mind blocking Kyan)

Of course the main counter would be.. pushing town to vote Kyan out today so you lose all of this information.

I will concur that we've had some great players today getting so close to the answers haha town have a really good shot. Mafia have honestly played a great game for the opening they had too and the claims were a gift to them in terms of being able to steal money but it'll be interesting as the numbers reduce how they keep explaining actions

Yep in both of my games so far there were minor typos in the PMs that were just missed despite being looked at several times. Luckily none of them greatly affected the games but I do think in Dad Joke it might have slightly influenced it.

Hard for poor meanies. Hugbox needs to stay intact for two days at least, after that people might not be willing to test more than one person out of it. malus' claim was understandable and good for the situation, but his survival will look bad the day after tomorrow. Launch cannot be pushed, they need the time that they get from him winning. VA, Ty and maybe even Hawthorn are never getting voted out, that already reserves 50% of the kills that they need to make before winning.

This can blow up in so many unpredictable ways though, so they have that going for them.
 

Leo

Quack Pack King
Good thing is everyone has claimed so they know more or less what's going to happen every night. Town is basically depleted of their powers, the only variable now is Fate's night roll.

I think they can win this if they choose their night kills well.
 

lokiduck

Awww yiss mothafuckin' breadcrumbs
So far neighbor chat has been quiet except for one comment. Will be interesting to see how Zeke handle's Kyan's flip.
 

Hawthorn

I'll explain my reasons later
As I said to Leo, it's for the best that I got killed ... since I never fully caught up. Nonetheless I enjoyed my cameo appearance, especially getting to see this very careful design unfold itself.

Agree BoJack is killing it. I was suspecting him because of falling for the supposed JOAT conflict, but his posts were pretty much turning it around for me. I don't think I would have pushed for him today. I do like to think I would have seen LP, but never Malus. Malus is all set to make it to endgame, and LP is now confirmed town in many people's eyes -- I predict a mafia victory, despite the two early kills.

I have more serious stuff to say about some of the things that happened earlier in the game, but I'll save it for the post game discussion. For now I'll just say quack.
