[mention]sprityo[/mention] Excellent case. Parts of it I disagree with but overall well crafted and I don't like the laziness of Nova's D1 play, as you put it.

Cuz y'all buck ass wild.

Hell I'll start working on re-evaluating and casing everyone now and just post that shit at the 4 hour mark tomorrow once the exercise is over.

Anyway I expect I'll be casing a few people myself I just don't want to do so early, since I'd rather hear people's original thoughts.

Anyway herein is the ranking for how I'll decide who to torch

- If someone presents a very compelling case against someone else
- If someone refuses to participate in the exercise
- If someone refuses to participate in the game.

If an assimilated player attempts to kill another assimilated player during a night phase, the kill will fail and the two will learn each others' identities but they will not gain BTSC.

Did Quin fake being legally blind to steal my flamethrower y/n

Doesn't sound like they have power roles either.

Guy you're literally inches away from the correct answer to your question

Quin comin' in here hot with the "Sprit townslipped and it got him the flamethrower so fuck it I'm gonna fake one"

Today’s lynch is going to be brought to you by King Negan. Here are the rules:

Everyone will case ONE person today. Pick one person, and build a case against them. You are required to vote for the person you case. This is first come first served, meaning if someone gets cased/voted for, you can’t pick that person anymore. That’s all you have to do today to stay safe. Literally that’s it. Here are some things that will disqualify you from safety:

1. If you case someone that’s already been cased without casing someone new first, you will not be safe from the lynch
2. If you vote for someone who already has a vote, you will not be safe from the lynch
3. If you refuse to case someone you will not be safe from the lynch
4. If you do not vote, you will not be safe from the lynch.
5. If you follow the rules, but I like the case against you, you will not be safe from the lynch.
6. If you follow the rules and make 10 or more on topic and constructive posts that I like, rule 5 may be waived.

Deadline to complete this task is 4 hours before EOD. At that point everyone who isn’t safe will be placed under my microscope and I’ll fuck up whoever I suspect the most.
no

Early contender here for "If I could legally participate in my own contest this is the person I would case"

Boring and sensible.

Which isn't to say I won't be giving my thoughts on people, I'm just not an official contestant here.

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 9:57 pm Also are you going to participate?

I'm not going to rob somebody of a slot for casing people that would be mean. I will entertain cases against me though, Maybe.

This is nice and all, but what if someone came in late and every one he suspects as already been cased? That's not cool.

My initial answer is "Tough shit, thats what first come first served means"

My actual answer is "I made these rules in a post last night thinking there would be 12 people to case each other. Also, Tough shit, there are layers to this exercise you'll get at EOD if I feel like telling you"

P.S Fuck around and see what I'm about.

Fooo I don't even town read you now.

what is your definition of "responsibly"?

If a consensus is reached I'll honor that. if a consensus isn't reached I'll consider all the evidence and make a best-case judgement call.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 3:39 pm It was probably a tie between me and Sprit.

It's my turn!

I promise not to flamethrower Mac, like my former opponent did. I wouls have torched DDL, like everyone wanted to. Especially with it being day 1, to give people like Mac more than 48 hours to notice the game.

Wow TH was right that is boring and sensible.

As Sprityo's chosen heir I promise to wield the flamethrower responsibly if I get it.

Turnip Head wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 10:35 am That makes sense to me tho DH. I too feel better about Luna than DDL tonally

Maybe its because I don't, but I'm not gelling with this line of thought. IDK. I'll have to see more from DDL to make a call on it but Luna's interactions with Eloh and etc makes me feel not so great about her.

Also my bad for saying "tonally you feel better about him" when I meant "tonally you feel better about voting for him"

If anyone's wondering why Colin made the top of that list:

ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 10:12 pm Ok, I went back myself and did quick ISOing. Between DDL and Luna DDL certainly seems to be laying low more and tonally I don’t feel good about him like I do Luna, so, DDL.

This after asking the thread to hold his hand through a DDL case makes me think he just wanted a reason to vote for DDL, the popular option. "Laying low more"? Yeah bro he said he'd be gone all day. Tonally you feel better about him than Luna? That means nothing to me. Might as well be French.

sprityo wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 1:07 am I decided to just ISO everyone instead because certain socks and bears aren’t here to make it overbearing.

-Colin town reads Luna, Speedchuck and Eloh. Marks DH as town, changes him to null immediately after, Says between DDL and Luna, DDL looks worse and votes DDL

-I’m still wary of DH after megaman but that was in part to misinterpreting alien. I think DH was bringing up a lot of good points about game mechanics and how we should handle the lynches and of course the Exectioner. Overall though I’m gonna put my trust in him again this game. In fact my vote is for DH tonight. Side note: DH telling me to read the rules when he is the one who first brought up an implied post that voted couldn’t be changed, leading to the admin statement and of course his own vote change (supposively) just thought it was funny

(@G-Man how does the vote work if the most voted player is killed? Is it the second most recieves it or is it just lost answers the day becomes normal?)

-The only thing to judge DDL off of is how he voted more or less to avoid being killed by me, and was going to self vote before randomly voting wilgy. I don’t find it alignment indicative really but a lot ignored people did, it’s interesting to say the least

More to come later

I appreciate that.

Any particular reason to have me in this list?

My vote was worth zero because I had the flamethrower anyways, but I would assume you guys would’ve figured something like that out because I decide how to kill happened anyways

Possession of the flamethrower doesn't abdicate you from your normal civ duties my guy. I'm going to be wary AF of people who use the flamethrower as an excuse not to participate in discussion, vote for their suspects, etc.

sprityo wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 12:24 am Those three didn’t vote

It’s that obvious?

I’m re reading the thread since I more so woke up at the last minute to do the calculations, submitted to choice, and went back to sleep so I could wake up and function for work his morning

I moreso just wanted you to state the reasoning so it couldn't be left to interpretation. I'm gonna be more interested in your thoughts once you've caught up.

sprityo wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 12:16 am So the lynch vote was between mac/Doc/Jack

To keep it fair I ran it through a random number generator.

My overall goal was accomplished, with opinions and votes being made, allowing people to see sides. I hope you all understand. I’ll do the exact same thing tomorrow, but I would never do it a past day 3 unless it’s crucial to the games health.

That being said feel free to vote me again, we can do more fun game building exercises

Please explain why those 3, and explain who you currently suspect and why.

sprityo wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 11:49 pm I know I know, not the most favorable outcome. But that’s what the numbers gave me.

Care to walk us through your thought process or give any of your reads/suspects my guy? Heavy lies the crown and all that, but soon you'll have to walk among your subjects and this metaphor has gotten away from me.

Yikes.

This lynch'll be interesting because on the one hand Sprit could just follow the crowd and lynch DDL, but on the other hand he could think to himself "DDL said he'd be gone all afternoon so this crowd on him looks mad suspect fam." and nuke whoever the hell he wants just for the lulz.

Hell of a choice Mr. Yo has to make.

Not normally. And the weirder thing is that she came in right after you said that and began talking. And in her post, she says she voted Mac bc she didn't know who to vote for. I'm not sure I trust that or her.
we have a tie, and eloh really feels like town here. I'm gonna move my vote
Do you mind if I ask you why you moved your vote? The arbiter of this lynch is Sprityo, so ties are meaningless. Do you suspect DDL and if so why and to what degree?
wait, I'm confused. What is the poll for then?
nvm, I see now. Wow, that's pretty neat.

Sprit already played the "I haven't read the set up/rules" card.

Also shout out to everyone calling Elohcin "Eloh" over the years for essentially calling her "Hole" that's pretty top notch comedy.

In the Luna/Eloh drama I'm leaning on #TeamEloh

Because she can bake a Boston Cream cake shaped like Lucille and also because Luna seems sketchy

Eh. The “Speed could be bad, wait, Speed could be good.” thing is annoying enough on a D1 where not much has happened and a DDL bandwagon seems to be leaving the station. Colin has been pushing weaksauce stuff against two people I’m kinda townreading rn: Speed and DH. I’ll put my vote on him for now, and perhaps move it if he elaborates on those feelings in a satisfactory way.

Bandwagons and moving votes and shit doesn't matter as much in this set up. What matters most here is the strength behind individual votes and cases. Am I wrong?

IDK boss using *my point* to justify *your vote* doesn't make me feel better about my read on you earlier. Though at least you're here and posting and putting in some work.

We'll see RE: Eloh.
I read you read post, and agreed with some of it. If you didn't expect anyone to read or agree with any of it, why did you bother?

What I meant was I don't think you should just parrot what I said in justification of your vote. I would like to see more of your own thought process, and more of everyone's own thought process for that matter.

Of course I expect people to read and some people to agree with me, that's not the point tho.

Although I agree with you about her response looking forced.

As good as I feel about my reads a lot of them were "Hey this person needs to post more" which agitates me to an indescribable degree.
