Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Also, when have I said the first statement? I have always expressed skepticism over Abby's claim; the silencer and post restrictor being the same person doesn't mean it's Abby, that would be a fallacyMacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:20 pm Leetic: Abigail might be silencer and curser
Mac: Probably not for multiple reasons
Leetic: Maybe Abigail has been bullshitting all along and the silencer is someone else?
I'm confused. Are you claiming you were never cursed?

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
My hypothesis is Abigail = curser and not silencer because if Abigail was, the simple act of claiming the curse means they'd just full claim the silencing as well (as either alignment), and if they are neither the wouldn't claim to have cursed you because it serves no purpose.
Given I was untargetable n0 and there was no d1 silence I think it's logical to deduce the silencer targeted me n0 and given they targeted Scotty who is now mechanically green on n1, it means the silencer is mafia.
This then means that Abi is probably town because if 2 of the mafia were simply derpy post limiters in a game where town have multiple cops I'd be surprised. Also it doesn't track that a mafia curser would bother claiming it and subsequently box themselves into townsiding with further actions of it.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Although leetic is correct in that Abi seems to lie just for fun sometimes, I don't really think that she is. There could be other levels of lying like she is the silencer and the curser.
That's more likely but I still kind of doubt it. If she is lying, then I think she is a Wolf.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Sure but if she's the silencer and curser then it means there'll be a curse today and no silence right? As is the pattern and by claiming she's boxed in to townsiding with the role.Long Con wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:31 pmAlthough leetic is correct in that Abi seems to lie just for fun sometimes, I don't really think that she is.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Far, far from my point.
I'm saying that the silencer is clearly not town due to exclusively targeting town with the role. They are blatantly wolfsiding with it by silencing people like myself and Scotty.

That is to say Abbi N0 > Leetic (Song) N1 > Scotty (Silence)
when I see a song and a silence at the same time I will re-evaluate. But perhaps she switches between song and silence even/odd

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Yeah but I just don't see the utility in partial claiming because it ultimately leads to their death. The alternatives of either not claiming, or full claiming, are both strictly a better play for Mafia Abigail than semi claiming and lying about their actions in a world where mafia wouldn't even be able to be certain someone wouldn't just out them off a track anyway.RondoDimBuckle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:38 pm That is to say Abbi N0 > Leetic (Song) N1 > Scotty (Silence)

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Abigail would have essentially outed themselves for no apparent reason in any world where town has a tracker that tracked her n1, or even variations of town rolecop/watcher/voyeur. There are too many ways that a simple pointless partial claim with a lie in it can backfire for a mafia Abi to have done that imo.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
That's a cop out argument. Abi might do FPS sometimes but they aren't going to misplay as mafia like that ever. They are a good player who takes their responsibility to their mafia teams seriously.

It's just so unlikely that Abi is lying about this that arguments to the contrary while slightly plausible should be set aside in favour of the cold hand of logic. As that is how town wins at mafia. So says the Oracle.

Ultimately we are trying to determine alignment not propensity to do dumb shit. The key point of everything I'm saying is that it all points at town Abigail.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Ascetic without any abilities is typically a wolf role. Town ascetics typically have secondary abilities, as the point is usually that they can't e.g. be protected by a Doctor. It typically depends on what other roles are in the setup though.RondoDimBuckle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:48 pmMac, I am not trying to throw sus on you here but it is a concern I have been playing around with.

The alternatives of either not claiming, or full claiming, are both strictly a better play for Mafia Abigail than semi claiming and lying about their actions in a world where mafia wouldn't even be able to be certain someone wouldn't just out them off a track anyway.RondoDimBuckle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:38 pm That is to say Abbi N0 > Leetic (Song) N1 > Scotty (Silence)
when I see a song and a silence at the same time I will re-evaluate. But perhaps she switches between song and silence even/odd
It's just so unlikely that Abi is lying about this that arguments to the contrary while slightly plausible should be set aside in favour of the cold hand of logic. As that is how town wins at mafia. So says the Oracle.
I agree that speculating is pointless when we'll likely get more information soon anyway, but Abby does stupid shit as town all the time
Ultimately we are trying to determine alignment not propensity to do dumb shit. The key point of everything I'm saying is that it all points at town Abigail.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
It's the only ability I have. I have no active powers. I am essentially a VT with a weak passive that is inconsistent. In this game does that sound like a wolf role? With town cops and full roleblockers?RondoDimBuckle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:48 pmMac, I am not trying to throw sus on you here but it is a concern I have been playing around with. What are the odds that a passive block is a mafia role? I dont mean in this game but generally as setup rands?
The odds that a reflexive roleblocker is a townrole if you take my claim at face value (as in, that it's not part of a broader role, or I'm lying about it) is higher than it being a mafia role. But I could also just be a lying Godfather.
I don't need you to not find my claim questionable anyway. You should easily be able to read me on play based on how I've interacted with you in a way that should be quite blatantly indicative I had no idea what your alignment was.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
I literally just got through explaining to Rondo the utility of green checking Scotty so you don't have to go far to find evidence that I think using the cop check to clear people is a good use of it.
I do think it'd be a waste personally though hence the "if you must" not the "oh please sir" response.
Ie. if you're suspicious of me go for it. Because if you are then it obviously isn't a waste because it gets town one step closer to cohesive.
This all feels kind of like we're starting to spin our wheels into stupidville.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Yeah I was all <_< at first as well but then I thought about it and Mac has played the conversation out in his head already and decided thats the best response. Which in his position is probably the best response that I would make tooMacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 6:58 pmI literally just got through explaining to Rondo the utility of green checking Scotty so you don't have to go far to find evidence that I think using the cop check to clear people is a good use of it.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
we dont kill mac here till lylo and likely we've found the wolf team anyway in pyxxy/dm/leetic/robyn/tutuu and we have enough chop and information to resolve the game. If abbi is wolf then its likely mac is too so we can eliminate that is a thought which leaves
pyxxy/dm/leetic/robyn/tutuu
who else can we eliminate?

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
For me to be mafia you're probably going to have a very narrow solve of Porscha and Tutuu with me, or Porscha/Abi maybe. Something like that.
But if you look at who is most likely mafia outside of me you run out of numbers too fast for me to be part of the team. I'm incompat with too many players, as usually tends to happen.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Tutuu narrow solving hard into the likely DM/Pyxxy world probably just means Tutuu is town and by virtue if disengaging the game has been able to avoid being caught up in micro bs and has just actually sorted properly.RondoDimBuckle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:01 pm we dont kill mac here till lylo and likely we've found the wolf team anyway in pyxxy/dm/leetic/robyn/tutuu and we have enough chop and information to resolve the game.

pyxxy/dm/leetic/robyn/tutuu
who else can we eliminate?
Leetic would probably have needed to levelled quite hard to be able to maintain this level as mafia. Like they're either town who keeps biting off wrong takes and rolling from tiltmac to tiltmac or mafia doing that on purpose to be read as twtbw and the former is substantially more likely for Leetic as a player.
Hence I think it's just DM/Pyxxy/Robyn.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Porscha to me can sub as the fourth in this solve a little better than anyone else can. They have had some towny posts for sure but some of their play has felt like wolf agenda at times. Particularly moments where I've felt like they were subtly coercing me to go down bad paths, like when they were trying to push me off my Rondo townread early in the game for instance.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
I think Porscha/Robyn is the only two of dynamic in Porscha/Robyn/DM/Pyxxy that I have seen a reason to exclude. Specifically because Porscha jumped on Robyn when I voted them.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
I will say I legtiminately scum read DM hard when ever I play with them. So their playstyle could be just fucked for me to vibe with. So it could be porscha/robyn/pyxxy. But the opportunistic vote on me to quickly switch away then it makes make feel she is just a wolfMacDougall wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:11 pm I think Porscha/Robyn is the only two of dynamic in Porscha/Robyn/DM/Pyxxy that I have seen a reason to exclude.

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
If Robyn is town it means Scotty's wagon was pure too which as I said earlier seems unlikely, but would mean to me that Porscha has been aggressively wolfsiding specifically into me by arguing with my Rondo townread and agreeing with my Robyn wolfread. That's kind of how I'd anticipate a quality Porscha wolf game to look.
So yeah 1 in Robyn/Porscha seems likely.
DM and Pyxxy are probably both mafia.
Obviously the broader POE then are Tutuu/Leetic but as I've said I have better/stronger reasons to townread those two than the other four.
@Porscha @robyn do you both agree that the other is likely a wolf here?

Re: Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
So your chop is DM > Pyxxy > Robyn/Porscha (LC checks them by now) > Tutuu/Leetic (LC checked one of them if still alive) if the game is still going?
