You said something similar about me having a role in Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3 that gradually insanified most of the players.

I think you need to pick your battles better.

My advice to you is never trick your players. When you host, you should always be the reliable anchor. This was a trick.

I own that it was a trick and that this sort of thing should be considered out of bounds by a host. Curiosity is what drove me to see it through, not malice. I hate to lose face as a host for it, but it is indefensible. If my reputation is tarnished, then I only have myself to blame for that.

We'll see if this ruse hurts my ability to fill up future games. I will be sure to state in my gameplay section, though, that all of my future games include an informed minority clashing with an uninformed majority. That way, no one ever has to worry or speculate about the possibility of a repeat.

And as I said before- if the admins believe that they need to make a punitive example out of me, I won't object. Twelve people can't get back the time they invested into this game, and that's on me. Recourse may well be in order.
Game on the Internet brother.

Nobody is going to punish you.

You are someone I admire and always will be.

This changes nothing.

On some level you must admire the sheer ballsiness of it.

The worst thing about this is that I'll have to hear "everyone is so dang townie! what if everyone is town and there's no mafia and the host is jerking our chain?" which I hear in every closed setup role madness game I play and shoot down every time because it's silly.

Except now it actually happened so people will take it seriously lol

Twice at the same time, even!

*appreciated

Thank you fingersplints!

Greatly apopreciated!

Now it has happened, folks. One for the books.

you can't blame me for that one

I don’t have a night power. :/

I'm not alive, so we're a great team.

Guess I should have done Scirrus.

I put in to copy Enrique in case I somehow live.

Well, I tried. Is fingersplints even a real roleblocker? I don't know. Wish I had done it right.

Yeah no that's fine take your time.

I didn't expect to be this sad about my chop. I like my plan I came up with though.

Neither have Alison, Grogu, or Poison.

Who'd you target Day 1 then, and what can that person do?
I actually tried to scheme the power in on Day 0, but the host denied me. Then, on Day 1, the yeet happened and I sent in my PM, and was told it was too late because it had to be sent in by day. I tried to use your power.
Which one?

Actually I can use my role to prove Scirrus' claim. I know, how convenient.

Grogu, I was roleblocked and the kill was claimed by Scirrus as town 1-shot vigilante.

So, either Scirrus is wolf with a pretty cool lie to mislead, or I was the wolf killer and I was roleblocked (I'm not), or the mafia tried to kill Alison (protected by Epi), or the Mafia also hit Marmot.

Maybe Grogu forgot the kill?

It's a little too on-the-nose, I know.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 11:33 am One of the power role claims was fake (Alison), one of them was vague and probably transparent (mine), and Epi’s wasn’t that strong.

I don’t think think an abstained kill is super likely, but I did consider it specifically for Alison even before my gripes last night. Draw Epi’s protection with the cop claim to waste it and then no kill in an effort to clear oneself falsely.

Alison is someone I could see coming up with that plan.

I am getting chopped today. If I were bad, I'd admit it. I'm not. Please direct your conversations thusly for maximum progress.

Alison wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 9:20 am You think mafia nokilled with 3 PR claims on the table? I don't.

Yeah, I guess it is more likely that they just tried to kill the claimed cop.

LOL you guys are going to love this. It was fingersplints. The only way to move forward confidently with that plan was if they already knew about the block, otherwise withholding their kill would be a gamble at best - a protect doesn't implicate anyone.

I get that you have to chop me first, I won't waste my time arguing that. I'm glad they chose me, because I'm obviously too overwhelmed doing this game alongside two bigger ones.

Why is part of the theory involving me trying to kill Epi? That's the most unbelievable thing. I'd never target Epi night 1 for a kill.

I had that thought, but then I figured it's probably true because otherwise no one would speak up about messing with the mafia.

Then two separate actions, at least, have possible mafia-messing going on. Did Scirrus know about the block being in the game? Don't you have other powers that don't mess with the mafia kill?

How much of a risk was it if he's lying?

Long Con wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 12:46 am Huh, sounds like you'll have to chop me. I'm not bad, I assume Alison was protected. I really hope she comes back with a red check. Should I out my role?
My vote isn't locked. There's plenty of time and we have other people to hear from, as you have referenced.

Yeah, but I don't really have anything to defend with, I have hardly been here yet, and I think people have decided already. It was just an unfortunate roleblock. I think an Alison red check would be my only hope. LOL I'd vote for me at this point.

This, folks, is horseshit.

They're "possible" because no mafia has been caught yet. Any combo is possible.

This is JJJ trying to look useful. This is what he does. It's busy work.

Please, please, please stop listening to his horseshit and lynch him Day 2 after I'm gone.

Ok.

I'll give you the Long Con Guarantee Of Town-ness. This is a freebie for the purpose of rebalancing the game for Nanook's sake. Let's get the win for him.

I didn't realize Nanook had just gotten yeeted in the other game, I'm really sorry. I just sheeped JJJ. I hadn't read a single Nanook post. Sorry dude.

I'm sorry for being lame.

Do you think their exchange would have went down differently if one/both of them were mafia?

Yes.

*exasperated shrug*

I'm glad we have open nights.

Yeah sorry dudes, all my recent Mafia time has been spent catching up on Fallout and GoC. I'm not in here yet. I'm town tho.

Has anybody ever low-key wanted to SR a player because of their pfp?
whats SR?

It's a Rick Roll-esque fakeout that made Grogu think the game had started, I think.

SR = scumread, TR = townread.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 3:47 am I have a TMI civilian read on Long Con. I just clicked around a decent pile of recent/semi-recent games. Mafia-aligned Long Con tended to be more to-the-point on Days 0, either by digging into game-relevant "solving" or just making stilted fluff posts. When he was a civilian he tended to be more willing to goof around, was more visibly at ease with his life, and seemed less stilted.

Space Invaders is one exception where as a civilian he made game-relevant posts right away, though he entered the game with someone already calling for his head (dunya) before he'd even posted.

You might think I would intend to try and be less serious when I do roll scum, but all I want to do now is be more stilted and less goofy in my town openings.
