Also who targets those two after both of their respective D1s? Is this where the bastard comes in?

Nah...nah, this doesn't make sense. Why would Zeke have a list of role names he can check on, instead of a role cop.
 

Hedin

I was thinking of like a role lie detector type thing but also yeah why a more convoluted role and not just a role cop?
 

Verelios

Were-elios
But also why would you not just claim role cop and not this weird role?
I don't know, I'm still not convinced. His town reads being only you and Ty also feels like he's keeping a wide net open. I'll see how he does the rest of the day.

This thunderdome is somehow more headache inducing than a regular day. I don't feel like voting HP today so I probably won't. I distrust Zeke the most but Kop and Haw are also suspicious.
 

Hedin

I think HP is the one I can eliminate from contention.

Did you pick up what Chugg mentioned with Zeke?
 

Hedin

So I think I figured out what's bothering me about Thorny but I don't know what conclusion to draw from it. Her vote on me was a misreading of what was going on but she didn't change or even reevaluate when pointed out, she just kept it there. With Zeke today she was again implying that he said something he did not and twisted it to a dislike.

So my struggle is whether or not I think she's doing that on purpose or just making bad assumptions and reads.

I definitely saw when she did it to you. With Zeke, did you mean when she said he could confirm Swamped's role?

They won't copy over here great but look at the exchange from #662-668. Say what you want about Zeke's play but he never said he had a strong town read on Swamped, she twisted things there. He was solely focused on the claim, it was the claim that got him to try to switch to you.

Also the more I think about it, if they were paired wouldn't Swamped had claimed just a few minutes earlier so Zeke could have explained better?

I have doubts that it was the claim that made him try to switch to me, but I agree that he didn't say strong town read. She was the only person he townread D1, but he never said strong.

As for the second, I don't like speculating on activity but Swamped claimed and voted for me the moment she appeared in thread and that was 3 minutes to EoD. I don't think she could have appeared earlier. That makes me think she 1). Didn't think she'd be on the chopping block and 2). Had the presence of mind to follow Zeke onto me.

No reason to get into it with ATP, he can be very determined not to do something when he doesn't want to. Although I'd like to know his reads on today.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
I've been thinking about if I was wrong about Zeke and he's just a neutral hunter...it would make sense for him to desperately try and save Swamped when she claimed if he needed her for his WC. It also puts into another light him trying to fish out HPs role name and his high self-interest.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
Haw brought it to 4 Zeke-3 Haw. I want to see where other people break on this or if they try to go for another wagon.

I have wondered if there would be a neutral in a game of this size. I can see that as a role, having to correct guess X amount of players.

Yeah, I'm wavering on my Zeke read and wondering if I should switch to Haw. I still think he's anti-town but not sure he's scum. Her last post felt too opportunistic.

Giving him a pass because I know he had a bad day yesterday but Zipped is a little weird today right?
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!

Yeah its weird. But also why would she say she protected him? Seems like a weird one to lie about?

I really wanted to spend more time pushing Thorny I just got way too busy at work this afternoon. I'm not exactly sure on the pivot to Kopite, it felt like people had moved off of Hawthorn and Zeke and just wanted to go somewhere.

We'll see if Chugg follows through or not tonight.
 

Hedin

I also don't know if basically having a jailer makes me think that we also have a BP. Possible that Kopite caged Geno then?

Yeah, I think it's fair to say Kop jailed Geno and Geno was telling the truth about being rbed.

BP is bulletproof right? What's the relation there?

I'm going to say Chuggs doesn't follow through. The 'smart' thing to do would be to predict the NK and make Haw protect that person. If she doesn't or if they die then...got some explaining to do.

Ultimately it's a gamble on trust and daring. How much are they, mostly Chuggs if he's telling the truth, willing to bet on each other.

I think the move would be to shoot unless he is 100% convinced. Even if he's wrong that means we go in tomorrow with a 50/50 chance.

Yeah, smart move would be to deal with that and settle the dome. I understand why it happened, but really dislike the last minute swerve by all three of the TD participants with Kop gone. Maybe that's hindsight bias.
 

Hedin

Man, that EOD was a mess. I can't really make heads or tails about the reasoning behind it.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
Also weird that Zeke and Thorny both came off it rather than continuing to push for each other.
Gotta say, after scum reading each other all day the way they came together to plan and deviate the train away from themselves felt so bad. I think Haw is more understandable since she seemed like she'd do anything not to be the vote.
 

Hedin

I think Zeke not really doing much work on any of the others he was in a dome with isn't a good look either, he bounced around based on what others were doing rather than build something himself. I mean he wasn't even voting for Hawthorn until I came out with my stuff.

Sigh...

Zeke's first priority is Zeke. I asked him for a case on Kop and he pointed to Ty's vote.

I'm actually still leaning on it's not like Chuggs to shoot Haw. If anything I bet he comes out of that chat feeling better about her >.>
 

Verelios

HP, Zipped, and ATP feel too easy to target right?
Hm, yeah, they're easy miselims if we stop thinking. But I don't want to dismiss them you know? Like, they're not giving us much of anything to work with.

Well, ATP is giving us more today.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
Zipped is the one I feel worst about currently.

Do you think we claim today?
Yeah, probably. I got nothing on Zipped, like, he's blank to me aside that really weird EoD yesterday. He backed down on Zeke so quickly and changed to Haw...which was weird.

Yeah his probability stuff plus his lack of any real stance was a bit weird.

ATP feels much better today. Maybe it's a big Ole gambit but I don't think so.

A town and scum RB would be confusing but also no other town has claimed to be RB'd last night yet.

Maybe Chugg was right on Geno?

How weird is it that Geno just plopped a vote down on D1 without mentioning Swamped at all before. Like I was the only one giving her any shade at the time and I wasn't even voting there yet.

I would need to go back and read but I don't remember Geno scumreading anyone D1?

Just to elaborate why i dont find my role "weird" like yours. I dont see Comic Writer or anything like it on any roles site. That coupled with the way you pressed me about the list............idk gives me a funny feeling.

Also looking up Chef, it says it has to do with inviting two players to a chat, nothing like Geno explained. Geno's claim also came off kinda forced. Claiming by piggybacking off HP's claim(for no reason), then going "oh, that's why this bastard". It's also weird that he managed to fail his item giving twice. N1, by getting refunded, n2 by giving it to Ty. I think town should have him give someone something other than the croissant as well. Just in case he is a JAOT that can only give a croissant. Even then he could just give it to his scummate and let them "confirm" him. You might just have to flip Geno tbh, especially if his play doesnt seem townie.

It's probably just awkward phrasing but I'm going to WIFOM that bolded part.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
I'm sitting here thinking, Zeke is not convincing me with these mechanics arguments. I really think he's going after Geno like this because Geno scumread him coming into today. Salva is obvious.

Look at who never talked about badly him and his reaction to them. He's cool with everyone else and Zipped is like...oh, yeah, I guess.

I think you called it here, first priority is himself second is his alignment.

Really hard to move forward without Zipped around. I can throw out some bad arguments to see if it brings discussion but knowing they are bad makes that doesn't seem like a worthwhile pursuit.

Zeke acting weird...again. If he really is neutral like Haw (really hamming up last night around so scum don't kill him) then I hope he jets out at night, but I'm tempted to just vote him out today.
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!
Staff member
Eh, the more I think about it his claimed role does complement ATP's claim. I can't imagine another neutral, if that's the case we have to only have one more scum.

I'm debating between Zipped and Geno, I just wish Zipped would do something to make me want to look elsewhere.
 

Hedin

Oops, All Scum!

Thinking back what Chugg said in our gossip chat, Geno would totally throw a random vote on a teammate who was under no pressure on D1 and sit there. Looking at his D1 and I know he was busy but there is one post with town reads, no posts with scum reads, and he throws out the first vote on Swamped with no explanation (and really I think I was the only one semi questioning her at that point). He claimed he was RB'd on N1 which could be explained from the jail depending on who was jailed, and then claimed to target Ty on N2 so now we have two nights where he supposedly has a confirmable role and has not been able to be confirmed. Beyond that he's being really passive, not really engaging, just sitting on the periphery really.
 

Verelios

Were-elios
Geno does look bad on an activity, but I'm worried that we're going to be stepping into a WIFOM trap. If his items and HPs are like, half of a set of each other, then they may be beneficial and make up for what we currently lack?
 

Hedin

Even then that takes a secondary action out of a player's control and seems iffy.
