Ty MJ for going down perfectly
Ty wilgy for being willing to go along with a game winning plan that sacrificed you for my benefit. I know that can't have been the most fun but it did win the game.
Ty Mac for suggesting me as a sub!! I probably would not have played on the site if not for that.
And ty Lissa for being a queen of organization and planning, and always making sure the numbers actually worked on our dumb schemes
I hope you had a good time, cayvie. You are a fun individual.

I did! The setup did feel a little wolf sided, simply because we could openly plan hope transfers and sol buys as a team, you know? But I certainly didn't mind that.

Legit thank you to nook for real timing with me that one night

Oh and thanks to jjj for chatting when I was feeling frustrated and not knowing what to do in this honestly super weird scenario

GG everyone!

Put me out of my misery lol

End, sure

Just feels like the game is mostly mechanical at this point

This is a bizarrely specific role

is there any evidence at all that there are actions that would negative effect presence or quickness?
technically tony but that seems ridiculous as the extent of it and i have to imagine a non village one exists

otherwise this would be dumb, seems extremely niche anyway
does it protect from talisman smashing

Do you need to smash talismans to win?

Can you target the same poor player twice?

yes

yes, but not consecutively

he hasn't voted wrong yet!

I kind of love it.

Can we win together? Just please be honest.

if you're mafia, i think the answer's no. if you're town, maybe, but not if it's YOLO. if you're the one minding the T's and Q's, then never.

(basically i think i can't win anymore)

might be motobot. but i think it is nook. or im just totally off base.

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Mon Jul 13, 2020 12:11 am Like normally I’d think we have at least one more miskill, this game idk if that’s the case or not

yeah i think it's just sums of P scores of the teams which makes sense and is also misleading. i also think that, likely, the scumteam knows whether it's YOLO or not. or at least they have a good guess.

(ps i think i failed my wincon at this point, so i'm up for talking abt whatever)

We should set up a secondary yeet behind cayvie in case her story is true. Fortunately, she seemed willing to work with us on that.
yeah, i'll certainly listen!
You seem to have unflinching confidence that you are untouchable. Will you prove that confidence by giving us more clarity on your role, and your stats?
my win con is unfortunately not guaranteed so i'd rather not
Then your win con must be counter to the town win con, and we must do our best to kill you.

I can neither confirm nor deny these allegations.

Also gang please remember lylo won't be a "traditional" lylo in this setup, it could happen much earlier/later than it normally would

If cayvie is mafia, she's definitely lying about her quickness, but she might have a huge voting power so the wagon behind her shouldn't have her on it

ngl this is a wild plan i had not considered and i'm genuinely excited to see what happens with it

I didn't block carot. I am not mafia. I will not kill her tonight. I will not block month. Not something like that. I have no plan except for to try my best to vote on mafia while a bunch of crackpots try to yeet a claimed and confirmed cop.
and moth is it? town mac wouldn't eliminate a confirmed town role. his role is basically sending 1 player another player's role. how is that ever a mafia role?

as described seems more useful to mafia than town imo, that way you can know you're sending the rolecop info to a teammate. either way it's just a weird role.

dunya wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 3:37 am [VOTE: macdogall] aubergine

@cayvie voting mac doesn't hurt your glory why not vote mac?

i want moth dead so, if moth is town, the mafia can't kill him at night and halve my glory

(i would definitely be up for a game sometime)

I tend to agree. That is why I have asked Cayvie multiple times why she smashed my stuff. I'm not saying it to be funny, I just don't understand why she chose me, I didn't suspect her or anything.
reading the thread, based on rep, i judged you to be one of the players most likely to set up a sol-gaining engine and be doing something broken at that point. most players seemed to be saying "oh what's the shop again" and stuff and everyone's like "long con has devious plans"
oh yeah i remember now, lc was doing all that "please don't kill me nutella" and i was like "this guy's engine is about to go off"
spoken like a true dominion player lol

(LC plays too :P)

lol yep at some point this game that side of me completely took over when i realized what was going on

yeah im just gonna [VOTE: moth] aubergine

if you decide to try to vote me, who would you like me to vote? im thinking moth right now, just so there's not a chance of me having my glory halved at night

like town or wolf i didn't want you, like, being a vig and killing 5 people a night or something

nutella wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:34 pm ummmm alrighty then

do you know why you were seemingly untargetable last night?

no

i mean ok. i'm a neutral, im the one smashing the talismans, and my q is high enough that i think i'm basically unyeetable at this point. i have boosted my sol production enough to buy a deathproof charm every night if i need to, plus some bonus sol. im not particularly concerned with finding mafia, sorry. i'm not sharing my win condition. i have nothing to do with the anointing business.

(if anyone's missing some hope bonuses they were expecting to get, sorry, that was me)

im in a weird spot where it's difficult for me to find an upside to posting in the thread! sry if that makes the game less fun

With the concept of Glory limiting power usage, there may not be that kind of balancing necessary... new territory, really, for a host to navigate.

i guess it's technically true that glory limits power usage; feels like the opposite though, you successfully built an engine to get your glory high enough to use multiple powers a night, yeah?

moth wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:53 am the fact someone is using abilities to shut down cop scans and stop elims seems like its possible scums stockpiled strategic reserve of sol being spent in large amount to get over a last hump.

we need a perfect elim and nanook might be outted based on this. its too late to do anything about it perhaps. if we mis elim this might be parity

nanook being unvotable is nutella's ability, yes? she said her ability succeeded
