Cerberus Tribe - Day 9

[Scotty]

If the player with the most votes is also “immune” to a lynch, does that result in a no-lynch or the next-highest voter being lynched instead?

And if there are ties in a normal lynch, same question.

I don't understand what you are asking here.

Scotty, the answer to your question is

I should have expected the shrug of doom I guess

Before I forget.

[VOTE: Marmot] aubergine

Ya know, one day you’re gonna forget to switch your vote, MM.

also hey MM Opt and I went backpacking in the Sierras for a month and we saw lots of you. Fat little guys, trying to always steal our food. always thought of you when we saw one not because of the fat thing but...you know....the name

[Scotty]

One thing that I'm worried about is the whole Haiku protection thing. Unfortunately, we don't know who did or did not send in a haiku, and people have an incentive to lie about doing so in order to protect themselves.

This could potentially lead to an even more lackadaisical and pointless Day 1 than usual, where not only does everyone not know who the hell is scum, but we also don't even know who we can actually lynch.

I don't think it would be info dumping to say who did a haiku? While people could lie about it I don't think many would so we could consider saying if we did.

Did you submit a haiku, sig? Or noku?

[Kylemii]

Wait how would we even push the button? Is that something we can decide as a group to push or is it at the discretion of the actual Giant Anonymous Talking Button (tm)?

If it's like in Chicka Chicka then the button can only be pushed by the player who has that role. It was a one shot power that switched everyone's roles and alignments around and also made the player who pressed it unable to win until they died and were given a different role.

it probably doesn't work exactly like that here since cc123 was an LTS

and you jerks never killed me.

we killed you eventually

Seriously? Half the peeps haven’t even checked in. You know how my day one goes, Sloon.

But now that you asked me I was thinking that it was funny that INH hadn’t checked in since he’s been pretty active elsewhere and then I looked and saw that he’s been active in the beginning of this game and I totally forgot he even posted.

So of the people that have done anything thus far, he’s got my interest. Labeling him as blendy.

But I’m probably not gonna vote for him. Because it’s day 1

[LoRab]

Hey, all! Was too tired to mafia by the time I got home last night, but glad to be here.

though the two roles thing will probably extend things anyways so maybe that's realistic?

Another possibility that crossed my mind is that, as players die, they will either change trbes or be sent to the "main" game thread.

But this is why I askes about tribal mechanics in Survivor Mafia. I didn't play in the game and don't feel like looking it up, so I'm hoping someone who was there can explain it to me. Scotty was the game's host, I believe.

Scotty already chimed in, but I'll add for those who didn't look at the game at all: we were in 2 tribes. We competed for team rewards, as well as for immunity (which team would have to lynch someone). Not sure how much of that will be true here, if this is from that game (don't know of another tribe game this year, assuming survivor unless someone else names a possible other game).

are there any other game setups that seem to be referenced here? it seems like at the very least we have Chicka Chicka with The Button and reviving into different roles and apparently survivor with the tribes?

The idea for the GOC’s is that literally every game from last year is welded together into a giant monstrosity. Expect a whole lotta game references.

that's beautiful.

was there any other weird shit that happened this year that I should be aware of? I missed out on about 9 months of it

Yeah I haven’t even been on since i took a breather in May (or was it June idk). I could read through all the old threads but I don’t have the time for that unfortunately.


We see Tina Wesson who was the doctor role in Survivor, doing a similar job here but against a virus. That’s new. I also wouldn’t be surprised if her opposite is a mafia member and randomly placed on the other tribe. There has to be some sort of randomness here with roles that counterbalance each other.

Wasn't Tina working against a virus in survivor, as well? I remember because I had it, but the doctor was on the other tribe. Or are you just making a distinction between virus and poison? I had both during the game, I think.

[Boomslang]

Checking in. Visiting with Blooper's parents, so will give this the attention it deserves tomorrow.

[nijuukyugou]

We should totally press the button ASAP

and is Ninja a sock puppet?

This puppet Blooper will be back tomorrow after her parents have left

[G-Man]

GREETINGS EARTH PRIMATES
THIS SETUP AMUSES ME
HA-HA! HA! HA! HA!

[DrWilgy]

I was the original Button Pusher in CC-123. It redistributed all the roles in the game. Pushing the button is a good idea any time, anywhere. Push it real good.

Oh yes... push that button real Good! OH~

Hi everyone. My name is DrWilgy and at long last... I'm finally a doctor.

How are we?

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Hey there tribals,

I'm your facilitator for this game. If at any point you are feeling irritated, frustrated, angry, or even just bored, please don't hesitate to shoot me a PM and we can talk about it. I'll keep an eye on the game and look forward to seeing it all develop.

And you should know how my Day 1s work

INH is the player who stands out to me as well, but I would be willing to consider voting for him (I mean, we have to pick someone and so far a handful of peopoe haven't even checked in). INH has made a few posts that have just consisted of easy observations about game mechanics. They do nothing to move the needle in his favor, but they give the impression of a player who wants to appear involved.

[VOTE: insertnamehere] aubergine

[mention]sig[/mention] what do you think of my vote?

[insertnamehere]

Do I have to give the same damn spiel that I give in every game these days?

I do not like Day 1's, Sam I Am. I'm slow to develop reads. Usually, I view Day 1 as an utterly useless day, and I very rarely get anything out of it.

None of this is new behavior for me.

TBH, I don't understand why I, in particular, am being singled out by Sloonei and Scotty as the initial suspect here. Plenty of people haven't done shit in this game, and I'm called out for some nebulous "blend-y" reasoning.

I hate this kind of shit, because there's no way for me to defend myself other than saying "nuh-uh."

Mainly, I'm just sick of having to get suspected early on in every other game because I like to wait a bit before committing to a solid read on someone. Sorry if that doesn't jive with the preferred playstyle. I've never claimed to be supatown, but that doesn't make me any less town.

Scotty didn't say he suspects you. He just said stuff about you. His conclusion was that he's unlikely to vote for you.

You did things on Day 1 in LotR. Why can't you do those things here? How else would you prefer we play Day 1?

You mean this more-than-a-little-bit satirical post I made?

Real explanation: I've gotten so bored of the same cycle I go through at the beginning of every game of getting annoyed at everyone's (IMO) pointless reads that at this point I've decided to embrace it and just post random accusatory nonsense until someone does something worthy of actual suspicion.

So far, no one in this game has done anything worthy of actual suspicion. In fact, seemingly only two people have actually given reads, you and Scotty. I honestly don't know what you want from me. Random accusatory nonsense?

When someone does something that I find suspicious, I will post that I find them suspicious.

I don't have any magical solution to fix Day 1's, I just know how I play them: usually pretty reservedly until someone does something that makes me take notice. No one has done anything that has made me take notice.

[Sloonei]

The explanation that I gave for suspecting you was that your early posts were "easy observations about game mechanics" and that you were perhaps "trying to appear involved." Do you have anything to say about that, or about me for saying it?

That my early posts were "easy observations about game mechanics" that were "trying to appear involved." There are no factual criticisms in these points, just a proclaimed feeling of disingenuousness.

[Sloonei]

The observation is as close to factual as we'll get on Day 1. You started the game off by making observations about the mechanics, and you did not have much else to say until we started this dialogue. What was the purpose of those posts you made?

To understand and articulate the mechanics of the game. I was unable to speculate on anyone else's alignment, because nothing anyone had posted made me read them one way or the other. Once again, you and Scotty are the only people who have talked about your reads. I have yet to understand what makes me somehow more "blend-y" than the other 9 people on the tribe.

Trying out the ol' "talk in circles until the other person gets annoyed and refuses to engage," eh, Sloonei?

ur bad

[Scotty]

Yeah I dunno if INH is bad. He seems pretty pissed to get heat this early. I mean plus, I’ve basically only given mechanical suggestions in the game too, so I can’t exactly fault INH for that.

Sloonei, are you bad? Just looking to “get the game going” by agreeing with my initial read of INH?

[Scotty]

In other news, I think jackofhearts is the only one not to check in yet. I know he’s hosting a game right now- I now know just how time consuming that is.

But I’m gonna vote for him right now to have a placeholder vote.

If he comes in, I’ll look to change it depending.

[Spacedaisy]

The last couple days have been a little crazy, so I sincerely apologize for not being here. Here are my thoughts on what I remember from the thread so far:

I don't think INH is bad
I don't agree with his opinion that Day 1 reads are useless.

I have a split shift today so I'm going to try and give you more from me when I am home and before the vote. And I am off a lot in the next week and a half so I'll be better I promise.

This is in line with what I remember of Scotty's meta. He votes for the closest thing he can find to an absentee on Day 1. Scum scotty could easily get by by replicating his ancient meta on his return to game action. It's an easy thing to do.

where is/was the wine located in relation to your person?

[Marmot]

The wine was on a table. The table was in front of me. The wine was transferred from the box, into a glass, and I drank from the glass periodically over the course of an hour. Generally, I held the glass in my hand. Sometimes I set the glass down on the table. But one thing was consistent; I always faced that glass of wine. Always, the wine was in front of me.
