The Rings of Power - Game Over

[Porscha]

I tell someone "it's bad to reveal rings" then I have people get mad at me for saying "I'm going to reveal mine"

Sorry I thought you said "I'm going to reveal mine" AND THEN followed with "it's bad to reveal rings" so. If you really are town and thought that based on your ring and action was worth to reveal - especially since protective rings exist you could be a confirmed townie by doing so. There is *always* a risk involved by revealing your role unless its end game or 100% confirmed town protective type of deal. So I guess I misread your original statement since it seems you're saying you never stated youd be interested in revealing your ring...

[Porscha]

This is a serious question: is there anything terrible about mass claiming our rings and abilities? I don’t see any sort of soup kill at stake

If you are killed and the mafia know which ring you currently have, they could take that ability.

Well you seem pretty eager to show and tell

I've also read the setup and see why and how me revealing mine is good for the game, instead of talking about mass claiming when you have either not read it, or are mafia who'd enjoy people telling you what they have.

Sorry maybe I misinterpreted "good for the game" as "good for the town". What did you mean by good for the game if it's only good for mafia lol

[Porscha]

So. I'm just going to claim the ring I had and what I did with it

Like what's this post about if you had 0 intent of sharing your ring and what you did with it since you seem to have 180'd on this position? Were you just baiting?

You claimed you were gonna reveal your ring and who you used it on.
No posts in between.
Then responded to Scotty saying why open claiming is bad.
No posts in between .
Then said only mafia would enjoy knowing what rings each person has.

I dont understand the progression of your posts. Either I'm missing posts or you were fishing for idiots with your first post and then immediately gave up on that by explaining why only a mafia would want you to act on what you said youd do?

Please dont take this post as me pushing you to reveal- if you dont think it's good to reveal, then dont. But your first post is that you wanted to reveal and you said further in another post that it would be good for game for you to reveal. Please explain this 180 in progression.

[Porscha]

Because, DOOM, I was not referring to mass revealing like Scotty was. I speficially said that based on your ring and what you found / did last night, if you truly believe it is worth it, then just reveal. If you dont feel that its "good for the game" to reveal, then dont. I dont get your responses to me.

[DaughterOfOmega]

I'm glad a useless diatribe got Porsche to actually post today

[dunya]

The following day, after a breakfast or two, the council reconvenes for another exciting day of calm and measured discussion. Some appear shocked that all the members of the council have made an appearance. Were they expecting something else?


Nobody was killed.

Day Two begins now. Post Limits to follow.

Are you shitting me lol. We basically have a 96hr day 1.

Pain in my guts.

In my defence and my defence is necessary, I knew my eods would be embarrassing this game, but 5am eods? No thanks.

[dunya]

Porscha's entry has been good. I like it. I don't think their confusion on what DOOM was saying was so inconceivable either, cos I was also confused.

Jack is probably town.

When I'm not at work and on phone, I'll update my townie list cos I feel I have a good list now I feel comfortable with.

Scotty is either town or exactly scum trying to pocket me --- I want to iso there lol.

Hmmm seems like we're still working in the same deadline.

Majority yeet is hard, but not impossible. I really feel we should try to get a poe of 4 (even 3 if you prefer) within the first 24 hours and spend the next 24hrs getting majority on one or we are going to go through some yeetless days in the beginning and the yeet is towns greatest weapon so.

I'll get to my Town Do Not Yeet List later followed by who and why I think is a good poe today.

Sorry for briefness, it's a busy work day

1.

Target any player, and choose a whole number between 36 and 48, inclusive. The following day will end after the chosen number of hours. This will not be announced until an hour before your chosen deadline. If there is no majority at deadline, your target's vote will decide the elimination.



That's the ring DOOM mentioned I assume, so we won't actually know the day ends early until T-1 hour

[Marmot]

Also dunya, we have no deaths thus far. This is basically Mountain Mafia II

[NotAnAxehole]

HK should be dead. That's my bad, though out of my control.

I still want to kill Dunya today.

[Andresvmb]

Okay I got prodded. Funny enough, I got used to playing games with longer deadlines, so I figured I wouldn’t miss much not being around for a day while swamped with work. That was an error. I would have at least voted to make sure we got an execution.

In any case, I’ll be catching up and be around. Any questions, withhold until I’ve actually finished reading.

ohhh town won that so this is a good omen.

okkkk. "tell me you havent read the roles without telling me you haven't read the roles" --- but it's good in theory to know this is happening so my deadline is tomorrow at 11pm vs. after tomorrow 5am.

[Jackofhearts2005]

@Jackofhearts2005

JACK

Why did you NOT join us on the HK wagon and instead placed a wasteful vote on me in the last minutes of the day? :< At the time you placed that vote, there were only two remaining people voting me -- meanwhile, there were 7 people on HK. Yes, if nobody else had voted, HK still wouldn't have gone over, but still! D:<

Moonwink said this game "I won't spam much, and because of the postlimit I will act differently"

lol

I'll just say that I tried, lol. An attempt was made. I think I restrained myself well enough for the first 75% of D1.

Because as it turns out, yeeting anyone at all regardless of your scumreads is a bad strategy. So I placed a symbolic vote for where I’d want the yeet to be before signing off for the night.

[Jackofhearts2005]

Anyways mac and axe are both town, if HK is mafia then no more than one mafia in Moonwink, Marmot, DaughterOfOmega, srceenplay, Creature, MartinGG99

If HK is town probably multiple mafia in that group, so let's flip HK

I dislike infoflips but plan of action aside, I agree with this take.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I’m not as certain Axe is town but I’m leaning that way

[NotAnAxehole]

how do you agree with the take when the whole take was an infoflip?

[NotAnAxehole]

By the way, since we failed to reach majority yesterday, I think I need to claim.

I am a double voter, the second vote is automatic & isn't announced.

NO SOUP! NO SOOOUUUUP!

My ability changes the required vote count for Majority.

**10 votes are required for majority** - yesterday as well.

[NotAnAxehole]

10 VOTES ARE REQUIRED FOR MAJORITY

[NotAnAxehole]

Unfortunately, this confirms me town because otherwise, I would just continuously watch town fail to reach maj and laugh.

[Creature]

[VOTE: hollowkatt] aubergine

The deadline is like the worst possible for me and I find it really hard to coordinate 9 votes on a single player.

[Creature]

We should probably not wait until the last fucking minute to decide on a wagon.

Put up 9 votes and call my bluff

[srceenplay]

Bluff?

I don’t doubt you to be a double voter.
I do doubt you raising the lynch count. That’s not how a double voter works.

Plus your post before you say sorry for the day before. “My fault” that would have put us at nine not “10”. So how is it your fault.

Liar liar pants on fire.

This is a serious question: is there anything terrible about mass claiming our rings and abilities? I don’t see any sort of soup kill at stake

If you are killed and the mafia know which ring you currently have, they could take that ability.

Well you seem pretty eager to show and tell

I've also read the setup and see why and how me revealing mine is good for the game, instead of talking about mass claiming when you have either not read it, or are mafia who'd enjoy people telling you what they have.

I asked sincerely- I’ve missed some stuff, I’ll admit, but i didn’t say ‘let’s all get drunk and shout out our credit card numbers.’
I like how you’ve turned the narrative around when you were the one that came into the day ready to start claiming.

[Scotty]

First and foremost, I apologize for saying I'd stop in yesterday and then didnt. I've been travelling for work and its been crazy and exhausting. Most of my obligations have been met at this point so I'll be much more available and back home tomorrow. Thanks for the patience!

Well ok.
That HK didn’t get lynched yesterday makes me convinced he’s bad since he probably had that ring used on him N0 to delay his death. So we can prolly expect him to die today right?

Unless it’s all WIFOM by mafia to make us think he’s bad

But nah, too much effort for no payoff. He bad.

I think HK flipping easily would have just lead to him being town, despite the threat of maf being able to dodge vote flips unless town is strongly unified in voting. Its day 1. I went thru most of the thread during night and didnt feel HK was scum. I've only played 1 game with them but it didnt feel scum I comparison. I do agreed with HK that a w!mac is willing to pocket HK and that doesnt seem to have happened, so I'm town reading Mac atm as well.

I literally put my vote on someone that was a consensus suspect to most and then went to a work meeting. What's embarrassing is that they were allowed to survive because of a dumb fuck self vote gambit.

I care zero percent

Idk why this was such a dramatic response to any townie asking why HK didnt go over tbh. Scummy from nanook imo. Although I am unfamiliar with their play.

If you feel it's generally town positive to reveal, then whatever. Do what you thinks best. All ring powers have already been revealed in the main channel and I dont see how revealing is providing anymore info even if you get killed for it. We can all find ring powers if we receive a ring without anyone dying, so I dont see how it makes a difference unless I'm missing something.

The yellow’d directly contradicts itself if I’m understanding it correctly. If hk were town, he would flip easier, but you also town read him. Is his D1 play and the end of day voting mutually exclusive?

I'm glad you just told me that not only did you read the setup, but you also didn't read my post correctly.

We all know what the rings are, but revealing who has what ring allows the mafia to strategically kill a person and take that specific ring.

Again, with the not reading the setup.
And again, with explaining why it’s problematic to claim, which you were about to do

[Scotty]

Ah, I see porsha has already brought it up. I won’t talk about it any more.

Are people dumb?

Town should be telling people to not reveal.

I have information about my ring, what I've done with it, and how it could be used in the future. These things you can not have, so saying "I'm just supporting everyone to reveal their rings!"

It's like people can't follow simple logic paths

I got nothing more to say about this.

[NotAnAxehole]

I will run some data analysis tonight...

I expect 2 players to make it to 7 or 8 confidence level... But that's at a glance.

[Scotty]

I like Porsha’s entrance, which is probably because she was mirroring my exact thoughts responding to DOOM.

Town

[MartinGG99]

Perhaps we should do an in-thread voting thing where we attach a # to each player on the list of the living.

Example:
"2" being I would vote this person
"1" being I would vote this person but I am reluctant to do so
"0" being I would never vote this person except for hammer
"-1" fuck you martin

Anyone who doesn't do that or something similar (and decides to be unhelpful in that regard) and we can consider yeeting them for it.

Because otherwise I don't see how we can easily come to a conclusion other than potentially yeet HK today, which I don't like (the single-choice issue). I think a possibility to consider is that the mafia no-killed because they wanted the HK yeet to be the seeming only option.

Although if I understand correctly, DOOM's ring also allows whoever they targeted to decide the yeet via their vote. Alternatively, we could just not vote today and if anyone votes for anyone else we will figure that was the person who was targeted by that, and then judge accordingly.

Porscha's entry has been good. I like it. I don't think their confusion on what DOOM was saying was so inconceivable either, cos I was also confused.

Jack is probably town.

When I'm not at work and on phone, I'll update my townie list cos I feel I have a good list now I feel comfortable with.

Scotty is either town or exactly scum trying to pocket me --- I want to iso there lol.

I mean I feel like HK is the move today regardless. Nook is right- we need a resolution, and can learn something either way if he’s bad or good. Right now all we know is conjecture since we have no flips.
