Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
So here's a thought. There is 7 people alive, 4 of which are claiming a Power Role.
We could shoot into the 3 non-Power claims to try and kill a Mafia Goon (At least I highly doubt Mafia would get 2 Power Roles and there be only 2 Town-aligned Power Role). Although this does rely on at least 3 of the Power Role clams to be Town.
How likely does everyone think there would only be 3 Power Roles? Making it so 2 of the claims are real and 2 of the claims are Mafia Goon + Mafia Power Role?
If we do trust there is at least 3 Power Roles for Town in the setup there is statistically a stronger chance of killing a Mafia Goon in S~V~S, MR, and Falcon than shooting one of the Power Roles. It's not foolproof by any means, but an idea.

Whp would Guillotine's partner be if they were wolf? I was thinking it had to be Epignosis, but does anyone have meta on Epignosis to know if they tend to bus this hard day 2?

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
I actually can see a world where MR votes Guillotine day 1 without going full bus mode making a hard accusation.
Guillotine's push onto MR "perspective slipping" when all MR did was imply they Town read me and SVS did feel odd and could actually just be more distancing.
The other option IMO would have to be falcon who voted on neither SVS or Guillotine's wagon taking a neutral stance to the scenario.

Most heists I've played have been 2 town PRs with 1 mafia PR, and usually are 13ers or bigger. I know the site recently relaxed the heist standards, so I'm not sure what to expect, but even 4 PRs in a 10er feels weird.

Oh dear lord. A power role doesn't mean you're a civilian. Claiming that doesn't mean anything.
I claimed because I fucked up.

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 1]
I looked at Guillo's ISO inbetween these posts, and he does speak in length about Michelle. Naming his earlier top town here over SVS isn't so surprising considering how much effort he put into pushing MIchelle after the reads list. However, I don't see much at all about SVS between these posts. @Guillotine what changed with regards to SVS here during D1?Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 10:58 pm Going back to this post:

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
I know that. I'm saying that I'm trying to think about role dynamics.
Honestly the more I think about it the more Parity Cop does seem like the odd one out here. Vigilante + Jailkeeper makes sense to both be in the game regardless of either their alignments since Jailkeeper can stop the Vigilante kill in 2 ways.
But Parity Cop and Jailkeeper/Roleblocker seem to fundamentally not coexist IMO. Roleblocking a Parity Cop is just so extremely punishing that I don't see a world where there is a Parity Cop and a Roleblocking role of any kind, even if it were a Mafia Jailkeeper/Roleblocker. I've seen Cops + Roleblockers, but Parity Cop gets doubly screwed over by it, plus Guillotine is claiming a further limitation beyond being susceptible to a Night 1 Jailkeep.
So the problem I'm having in my head is that it feels like one of Guillotine and Epignosis are lying. Setupwise both being true seems highly unlikely.


Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
I just think this:
1) A Parity Cop makes next to no sense in this setup.
2) Guillotine doesn't act like a Parity Cop.
3) Guillotine didn't die.

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
Possible? Yes. Likely? That's harder to tell. I think Guillo is just outed at this point, and if I GTH I'd say you and Epi are probably fine. Epi's claim is just straight up weird if coming from scum - it was completely unnecessary, he was under no heat, his claim is the sort of "bad" that actually looks good, etc. My one issue with Epi is that if he is a disruptive role, it would be a good counter to my own role, but the way he's playing it is... well... If he is mafia here, his claim is working. I've already mentioned my tinfoil of you, but I don't feel the need to chase that with bigger fish out there.

You fake claim (or maybe really are a Mafia Jailkeeper idk) with the intent to out a real Parity Cop.
Of course this is pretty much a 1 for 1 between you two so you'd be executed day 3 after Guillotine is outed.
Then we would just wind up in an endgame where it's 2 Town and 1 Mafia, that Mafia being whoever your partner is
There is certainly reason to do what you are doing as a wolf.
Of course there is the tinfoil world where you are wolf and Guillotine is your partner you are doing some big brain plays claiming a role that basically just mechanically CCs the mere existence of your partner's fake claim. In that case, I would say well done that's a good play I wouldn't have expected.

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
I'm having a hard time following this. How would Epi's claim out a "real parity cop" and if Guillo isn't real, why would he be town, and why would you expect another parity cop? I also don't really get the motive - Epi hasn't been a hot topic, so this play only makes sense if Epi's partner is Guillo, but then outing a real parity cop would blow the whole plan up.LinearPoint wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:34 pmI mean if you are lying here the scenario would just be as follows.Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:24 pmWhat reason do I have to lie, and what is my endgame scenario if I did?LinearPoint wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:21 pm So the problem I'm having in my head is that it feels like one of Guillotine and Epignosis are lying.

It was the hypothetical of Epi fake claiming.

I also don't really get the motive - Epi hasn't been a hot topic, so this play only makes sense if Epi's partner is Guillo, but then outing a real parity cop would blow the whole plan up.LinearPoint wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:34 pmI mean if you are lying here the scenario would just be as follows.Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:24 pmWhat reason do I have to lie, and what is my endgame scenario if I did?LinearPoint wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 11:21 pm So the problem I'm having in my head is that it feels like one of Guillotine and Epignosis are lying. Setupwise both being true seems highly unlikely.
You fake claim (or maybe really are a Mafia Jailkeeper idk) with the intent to out a real Parity Cop.
Of course this is pretty much a 1 for 1 between you two so you'd be executed day 3 after Guillotine is outed.
Then we would just wind up in an endgame where it's 2 Town and 1 Mafia, that Mafia being whoever your partner is
There is certainly reason to do what you are doing as a wolf.
Of course there is the tinfoil world where you are wolf and Guillotine is your partner you are doing some big brain plays claiming a role that basically just mechanically CCs the mere existence of your partner's fake claim. In that case, I would say well done that's a good play I wouldn't have expected.![]()
To be clear it's not what I believe is going on here. I guess I should have used sarcasm or something, but it was mostly a half joking response to Epi saying there would be no world where they were lying and I was just giving a world where it could be possible. I still do think Epi is just telling the truth over Guillotine though. Especially since Guillotine was so adamant that claiming day 1 meant that anyone who CCd them day 2 would be confirmed evil as though they were preparing for the counter claim beforehand.

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
My thoughts on the claims:
Guillo's has always been the most suspect to me. Parity cop is such an easy safe claim for a wolf to make, since we can't prove nor disprove it very easily. And the way he went about it just rubbed me the wrong way. I should probably go dig for quotes to show what I mean, but it came across like he was trying to pretend to hint but was actually screaming to make sure we saw the hints. And now with info on other roles I agree it maybe fits least well in the setup, although I'm hesitant to make that sort of read.
Seanzie's claim is believable, but damn, the choice of vig shot could definitely be a bold wolf. I can understand finding reasons not to shoot the counterwagons, but why not a low poster like me instead then? Shooting an active, contributing player for 'paranoia' is a bit bleh. That sort of thing could be an excuse to get rid of a loud voice and find refuge in audacity. But it does feel strange to give the mafia an extra KP in a small setup like this, and Seanzie sounds believable, so this is mostly me thinking out loud in case of the game getting hard later.
Epi's role is commonly a scum one, but his entire manner of claiming, even just the choice to, feels lacking in scum agenda.
I don't really question LinearPoint's claim. There's evidence it's true. I don't think the scum team in a small game like this would get such a role as it takes away from town's limited options to find scum.

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
On a side note, I can't remember when exactly Heists changed requirements,and my 30 seconds of looking for an announcement proved futile, but I feel like it was a year or more ago? Not that it matters. I just also sat here earlier this round about to make a post about the three claimed roles and then remembering it was no longer three maximum.

This just feels really awkward. 14h to go and he basically claims but without claiming, 13h to go and he again screams HINT HINT, and 8h to go and he finally hardclaims after Michelle and I push him to. He was around at EoD, when a claim normally occurs.
Guillo is a player who in many ways approaches Mafia differently than I do, but I just feel this is not how a town handles this? Like the whole mindset of 'I'm not going to be eliminated' usually makes a townie feel quietly confident, but Guillo doesn't come across as quietly confident in his security. The timing is very early for someone who was going to be around at EoD, when normally people wait a bit to see if they can avoid claiming (since a town PR doesn't want to if possible).

Anyway, I'm happy for Guillo to be the chop today. I'm going to contentedly sit here not voting him so that if he flips red you can all debate if I'm his partner tomorrow.

My alignment is not really contingent on SVS's alignment. If they are a wolf then I could easily be a mislead Town or their Mafia partner
I do not agree that if i were a Mafia Doublevoter I would out today or even entertain the idea I could be one. I would just have staid silent and made it seem like SVS was a Doublevoter.
I think that, from the perspective of a Parity Cop, going for me over SVS does not make a whole lot of sense. Why go after the Power Role claim? When Power Roles are great people to check as a Cop of any kind and I don't see how you refuse to entertain the idea I could be Town who accidentally saved a wolf.

o you dont scum read me, you just think parity cop can't exist, not a real scum read, if we lose, we lose because you meta games the host not because you scum read me. Get wrecked.Epignosis wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 10:20 pm As things stand, I don't believe a word that comes from Guillotine.
A "parity cop" was something I'd never heard of. Fine.
JJJ has never said that phrase on this site. Fine.
It's been mentioned four times in over a decade. Four. Fine.
A "limited use parity cop" is hilarious though. A parity cop is ALREADY by it's nature limited.
I hesitated Day 1 on Guillotine because my own role was limited. To me that spoke of a level of honesty that gave me pause.
Instead, I think Guillotine or Guillotine's partner has a limited role that provided Guillotine with knowledge that limited roles were in play.

I don't believe you townread me for that yesterday. I was/am legit busy with the start of the semester, and would have low-posted regardless of my role.

I thought about shooting SVS, but I kinda believed how they were willing to throw themselves under the bus to save a claimed PR. Wilgy OTOH is someone who can snow town single-handedly, and in the world where I was wrong on you, I thought they were most likely wolf.

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
If you are town stop talking about mechanics and play real mafia, am i scum for my behavior? Have I have agenda?LinearPoint wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 10:39 pm I will say a 2-shot Parity Cop (even though Guillotine never claimed their limitation) isn't completely unheard of and impossible. It'd be mostly as a just in case limitation not really because the host would ever expect them to be getting 3 checks off.
But a Night 1 Jailkeeper is an interesting claim in the setup that we know so far. There'd be 8 targets for night 1 (assuming you can't just jail yourself), with 2 killers and 2 kills that is about a 50% chance to prevent a death Night 1. Which is actually kind of believable. Although I'm not sure about a Parity Cop alongside a Night 1 Jailkeeper, Parity Cop already has a hard enough time getting 2 checks off, a roleblock in the mix to completely shut it down is almost unfair IMO.
It's possible Guillotine is a Role Cop and Epignosis is telling the truth. It's also possible Epignosis is lying about not using their ability and is just a Roleblocker who hit a non-Power Role night 1. There could still be an unclaimed Power Role somewhere, but I think we've checked all the boxes with a protective/roleblock claim, a information claim, a vote manipulation claim, and a killing claim. I would be surprised if we don't have a town-aligned investigative role to be honest and the fact Guillotine isn't being CCd though does point towards them being legitimate.

Guillotine's push onto MR "perspective slipping" when all MR did was imply they Town read me and SVS did feel odd and could actually just be more distancing.
The other option IMO would have to be falcon who voted on neither SVS or Guillotine's wagon taking a neutral stance to the scenario.

Re: The Late Bronze Age Collapse [Day 2]
I was not killed to push this.
Look at the kills, Michelle and Wilgy whom both pushed me early day 1 and one of them actually parked on me.
You'd think if I was mafia I wouldn't do the kills that point straight at me, but maybe I suck at mafia now.
