Calculon

The star of the show, Calculon is virtually untouchable on set. He will survive the first fatal action against him, whether via a lynch or a nightkill. *(Secrets)*

Monique

Calculon’s beloved… or so he thinks. Monique is prone to sharing her hardware with other robots, and maybe even a human from time to time. Monique can establish temporary BTSC with a different player each night.


Antonio Calculon Jr.

Antonio Calculon Jr. has the nimble feet of a child, and as such he may follow a player each night to learn who, if anyone, they target. However, he's also prone to amnesia. If targeted by any non-town night ability, Antonio will fail to remember his results that night.

Director

The director assigns motive and direction to the characters on his show. He has four 1-shot abilities which may be distributed at night. Only one ability may be distributed per night, but he is free to double, triple, or quadruple target.

Network Execubots

The Execubots can move freely through set without interference. Twice during the game, they can perform an undetectable kill. They are also able to identify a player’s role twice during the game.

Fathers Against Rude Television (F.A.R.T.)

Fathers Against Rude Television takes a strong stance against indecent content on the boob-tube. Once during the game, F.A.R.T may seek to rid a player’s smut from the game by stripping them of their right to vote the following day phase. And if that doesn’t work, there’s always the option of resorting to violence: four times during the game, the FARTers can rough a player up at night, preventing them from performing their night action that phase.

Now the big question: What's the odds novas is town (Calculon) and gets pushed by mafia to generate a nolynch and shoot novas at night?

Tedexter wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 3:18 pm Lol, don't worry I understood, all's good. I hope I didn't make the game less enjoyable by pushing for your lynch without you being able to defend yourself against anything, so I will make a case and you can pick on it whenever you feel like. I just don't really like talking with my scum reads, it makes me doubt my read tremendously and for no reason. Hope nobody takes that as a push back or whatever. If you want me to change my mind on you, then the best thing you can do is to interact with other people and keep asking questions and I'll nullify my read depending on whether I think you're townier.

I'm sorry but that's just what works for me.

Spoiler: show

[VOTE: therealet] aubergine

That reads to me as a fairly shallow reasoning for your progression on ET. I don't think that's an actual thought you'd have, moreso, your progression is just too sudden on him. Scum are a lot more typical to read ISOs on one person and talking about them then to actually work the thread out and sense scum from there. I don't think that reasoning was *actually* worthy enough of a vote. "he responds with short responses and emojis" really? that's a scum read? why not scum read nanook then? hm. wonder. or mac. or TSP. or sig. or creature. see what i mean? it's basically telling me you have an agenda. Those are contrived reasons that you thought of during watching his ISO and thinking what would look good as an accusation. You didn't have that walk inside your head that civvies do.

Sabie please be townier I have concerns with a big C

So you don't like that I agree with you on dom or what?

I actually don't remember why I felt like this post was scum worthy but I guess it's because the question is still framed in such a way that it makes you defensive. I haven't claimed it's because you have or have not voted Dom. So it feels like you're trying to pocket me there, although this might be a stretch, mainly because I selected this as a scum tell and now I have to say something on it.

sabie12 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2020 7:40 pm Rej apparently decided he's dead so he doesnt have to be responsible for voting in the poll. Not a great look.

You keep coming back to reads but this absolutely has nothing to do with the current game state and it's a thrown-out-the-window read to make you look like you're actually scum hunting, but there's no lead up to this either. Townies do things like this some times, but this post lacks a certain feeling to it. It doesn't feel like you're raising awareness on a player and then wanting to figure him out, you just call it out to make us aware of how bad Rej is looking. I reckon a town would keep coming back to this read after such an affirmation, but you just never did. Which makes me think it was more to make us start suspecting Rej (in the context, i'm like 70% sure she said this after I've kept pushing Rej, but please check and don't follow this if it's not the case. If it is, though, it's really bad)

I gotta flip rej first though

Why are you including me in this?

Again, defensive question. It's not the defensiveness I'm reading scummy, it's the non-existent world building that goes after that question. She just asks questions to clear herself, not to figure people out. If she was trying to figure me out, she would've kept pushing on me after this. But she doesn't have that mentality overall, she just wants us to lose her track. Doesn't matter what alignment I am to her, because she already knows it.

Tedexter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 11, 2020 12:33 pm Hot take, if sig and nova are both town, which I can kind of sense, then sabie should get auto-lynched.

Why do all of a sudden sense they're both town when you accused both of them?

This, again, doesn't serve towards anything. The question is actually good though, but she just doesn't go through the motions. It's like a little bit of shade and that's it, never coming back to it. It's like throwing jabs in a box match. Quick jabs. This is actually a good question from her, that she does nothing with. You'd sense an agenda here, but you're not going through the motions. It's like you're focused on shady stuff so you can focus on them and show them to other people, but you're not willing to figure out what people's motivations are. This question is also framed pretty weirdly, more in an accusatory way than anything. If she was trying to figure ME out based on my full 180, it would've been something like "Why are you town reading them now?". This post ignores that logical progression on me and is just pointing out a shady thing. It's not formed in a way to provide an ongoing conversation in which she sorts me, it's almost done to make me doubt my read and to shade me for my sudden changes.

Town could do that, but if they feel like something like this happened, they're more willing to have all kinds of scenarios in their heads and they would bury me with questions. Kind of like what epi had in mind, me being the toad, etc etc. Sabie, although having plenty spec knowledge, didn't even think about that.
=============================================================

TL;DR She's not going through the motions of discovering people's alignments, because she already knows them. Her questions are almost all formed in a way that is defending herself, while unconsciously exposing the fact that everyone who's attacking her is town and she assumes her top priority is to fend us off, whereas a town would also question their attacker. Sabie only asks defensive questions when being accused of something and doesn't take the extra step of figuring out her attackers. Because she knows we have all the right to attack her, she knows we're town, and she knows she needs to gain our trust.

She doesn't think like a town "Why's this motherfucker attacking me? I've been town this whole game"

She thinks like this "Shit, I'm being pushed by town. What do I do know? I need to tip them off"

See this is why I think my PoE is solid and stays the same regardless. Sprit is obvious town and if he’s not, then he’s neutral. Not a mafia though.

I've been at work intermittently checking this. Read through him again gave him a chance to respond. Eh He doesn't seem too different from his last game where he was bad aside from doing a lot more quoting of other posts.

Yes, you should worship me, but not in the disturbing ways you described. Hot sauces and gifts of money will suffice.

VCA’s sure are good thing but they are meant to channel your focuse, it doesn’t give you the scum on the platter, it just gives you a direction. Can you try and read, hmmm...Sig, for example?
