Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
As for the role reveal, and the use of the term evolve, I am assuming that some roles are Pokemon evolver type roles, and mine was not. I never once thought that this would have any effect on my reincarnation.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
no mention of evolving positively or negatively17: Refridgerator (Haiku). Each night, you may choose one player who must post in haiku for the entire following day phase. At least 10 haiku must be posted. Unless the hosts deem that they have failed to meet the haiku requirement sufficiently, no votes cast against that player will count during that day.
15: Cecil (Welcome to Night Vale). Each night, you can write a news article to be published in the thread via the host.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
If his story is true it negates the first part of your case, and I disagree that a role that rewards voting for mafia is "evil", so as you can see I'm in a bit of a spot. But LC doesn't seem to have two shits to rub together so at this point neither do I.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
Does anyone think the Hosts told LC about a secret game mechanic (the existence of tribes in the GOC) in a chat on Facebook with MP, who presumably was also eligible for this game, having had 6 wins in 2017? Really?
If so, I am a tad annoyed at Jules, who is actually a friend, for not including me in this little conversation

linki @ DH, how do you ever get through a Mafia game with that attitude? I know you to have voted to lynch people in the past, and you know, if you were wrong about them, then that would have sucked then, too.
Linki again, no I didn't. I explained my thought process clearly. And I think he is bad, he was the one who slipped, lol. I am not railroading anyone. Rather passionate, aren't we?

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
I dunno what you want out of me Dom. I'm just trying to square this whole thing up in my head. Best case scenario, you're right and it was a slip, and the completely unbelievable story of the Facebook Illuminati is not true and a lie. But there's a nonzero chance that you're wrong, LC is telling the truth, and forces outside the game resulted in him getting essentially taken out of the game. As a long time player of the game and someone who takes (in particular) Champs Games pretty seriously, I'm just trying to work out if I feel comfortable with the nonzero option.
And as I've mentioned, literally everyone other than you passed on the Cerberus slip assuming it was a hypothetical tribe name. So there's also a nonzero chance that you saw the slip and jumped on it without realizing you'd also be exposing information that YOU knew to be true.
There's also a nonzero chance that there are mafia jumping down the rabbit hole you've dug to blindly lynch LC, and both you and LC are innocent.
I'm just trying to be critical here, rather than simply saying "Fuck, cool I guess we got one." voting and going about my business.

Chuck, do you think the hosts told a probable GOC player, no, TWO probable GOC players since MP was eligible as well, about secret game mechanics in a Facebook messenger chat?
Tell me you believe this, and I will leave you be the rest of the day.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
Why can't you acknowledge the fact that every single player knew about Tribes from the moment the game began? You calling it a "secret game mechanic", in that light, is just not accurate. And we weren't huddled together, discussing GOC 2017, we were chatting about other stuff, and juliets was like "that could be a tribe name!" I hate that you keep painting as you have been, because it's not at all accurate. If you're worried that there's some behind-the-scenes stuff going on between hosts and players that in any way affects or disrupts the game, then I give you my 100% assurance that there was not.S~V~S wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 2:39 pm Does anyone think the Hosts told LC about a secret game mechanic (the existence of tribes in the GOC) in a chat on Facebook with MP, who presumably was also eligible for this game, having had 6 wins in 2017?

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
That officially swayed me. This story makes more sense if LC is town.
Town LC: Weird conversation happened that doesn't actually affect gameplay, since it is in effect at the start of the game. LC gets town role, uses it as town would, to make sense of things. Slips because of the conversation, tells the truth because honesty is best town policy. Then crap happens.
Scum LC: Tries to tie up vote for no reason whatsoever (You suggest he was doing it for later town cred, and I will laugh in your face). Slips because of his BTSC. Tells the most outrageous lie possible. Has a role that can be used to control the heck out of a close lynch, to a higher degree than most roles. A role that was based on a town role.
If people still want to lynch LC, that's fine. But at least acknowledge that this isn't an open and shut case, and play the friggin game of mafia instead of shutting down discussion.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
I don't believe that.
But I agree with LC. It's not like they told him of 2 mafia teams, an arsonist, an SK, when the tribes would merge, etc.
It's not the MOST believable thing. But neither is the slip. I find it, at this point, more likely that this conversation happened than that LC would make it up. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
It was a secret before the game. No one knew about it, we were all surprised when it happened. Becasue Golden did not tell anyone about it becasue it was a secret. Once the game started, no it wasn't.

Well, you got me there.Dom wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 3:04 pmYou're not "just trying to be critical".DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 2:55 pmI dunno what you want out of me Dom. I'm just trying to square this whole thing up in my head. Best case scenario, you're right and it was a slip, and the completely unbelievable story of the Facebook Illuminati is not true and a lie. But there's a nonzero chance that you're wrong, LC is telling the truth, and forces outside the game resulted in him getting essentially taken out of the game. As a long time player of the game and someone who takes (in particular) Champs Games pretty seriously, I'm just trying to work out if I feel comfortable with the nonzero option.
And as I've mentioned, literally everyone other than you passed on the Cerberus slip assuming it was a hypothetical tribe name. So there's also a nonzero chance that you saw the slip and jumped on it without realizing you'd also be exposing information that YOU knew to be true.
There's also a nonzero chance that there are mafia jumping down the rabbit hole you've dug to blindly lynch LC, and both you and LC are innocent.
I'm just trying to be critical here, rather than simply saying "Fuck, cool I guess we got one." voting and going about my business.![]()
I support sound analysis.
You literally directed people to vote for me in particular.

Really?
If so, I am a tad annoyed at Jules, who is actually a friend, for not including me in this little conversation![]()
If I was running a game with LC in it, and the game had item elections every day (not written in the host post), I'd have no problem revealing that secret to him.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
That's a very good question. I do not know the answer, it's been something I have wondered about since the game began, and still do. I do know the answer of whether or not I have a new role now that you bitches strung me up, but I assume that telling you that answer would be infodumping. *rereads post* Huh. Sometimes the answer requires making your own connections.Dom wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 2:31 pmno mention of evolving positively or negatively17: Refridgerator (Haiku). Each night, you may choose one player who must post in haiku for the entire following day phase. At least 10 haiku must be posted. Unless the hosts deem that they have failed to meet the haiku requirement sufficiently, no votes cast against that player will count during that day.
15: Cecil (Welcome to Night Vale). Each night, you can write a news article to be published in the thread via the host.
An another same note: maybe if any of you have the word "evolve" in your role, you could put forth a theory on this?

Oh, a semantics secret. I see.

Re: Pikachu Tribe - Day 5
That's also a good point tho I did mess around a bit early game here with Negan, but not too much cuz I didn't want to upset SVS. And also because while fun it didn't quite fit. And also because TP was starting and it fits better there from a genral game sense (Smaller game, looser set up)speedchuck wrote: ↑Thu Mar 08, 2018 3:08 pmTP has LMS elements.

Everything he is saying the hosts did is utterly NOT what either of them would do. Ever.
There is a simple way to resolve this. LC is a graphics guy, he knows how to take a screenshot.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
I decided to play this, worried I could not handle an adversarial situation with a few people, and lo, it has come to pass. So I am going to walk away for at least today, maybe even tomorrow. I will check periodically for those pictures, though.
linki, NOT A SEMANTICS SECRET. No one knew there were tribes before the game started. Discussing tribe names with you when no one knew there were tribes was discussing ACTUAL secrets. You got caught. Stop trying to make other people feel stupid for saying so.

I don't think LC's alignment is even dependent on his telling the truth at this point.

Admittedly, you know Golden better than I do.
I don't think LC can provide pics, in the spirit of the game. He would need to ask the host first.
I disagree with your linki. Alas, no remedy for that, for I understand what you are saying. But I think there is a difference.
