U-Pick Anything Volume 2 Game Thread (Day 4 )

[WerewolfHunter]

Since I didn't get an answer does this look like I have the gist of this?

Has anything else of note happened this morning?

How did you miss the ice cream sandwich claim?

yes beeboys claiming we're going to skip n2 and basically go straight to day due to his role

i dont believe anything else of note has happened

ive seen the claim but somehow didnt process the melting part of it. i mean i saw people offhandedly talking about freezing and melting but i never saw a post that spelled out that wwh was just going to die on a timer.

I thought people were using being Frozen as a term to indicate inactivity or something.

yeah same, but then i remember ace making a jk and I realized it was a person but brain fog so I didn't remember who then forgot about it thinking it as some fun time in the game bacause I just was skim reading at the time to get caught up and not an actual claim, then realized it was a claim, but thought it was a jk/fake claim

now that you mentioned it it's kind of confusing lol. honestly, i think being eaten would have been a better term

smh bee i was supposed to die tonoight

Get rekt.

I just read your ISO and still don't understand this power you have.

If you activate...what...we get to EoD, do our thing and chop someone, and then boom we are back at SoD2 and do it again?

This sounds effectively like just skipping a night phase...which is cool since nights are basically bad times for town.

Thanks for interpreting what was definitely NOT a 'slip' before it got out of hand.

If you @ me then I'll try to not ignore you.
I am very bad at noticing all posts.

Everything gets undone except for deaths, I can time travel hard enough to change world lines unfortunately.

Thank you.

"Everything gets undone except for deaths" means that people who used one shot powers get to use them again. That could go good or bad depending on what one shot powers there are.

I don't know if a replayed day two would necessarily include an ITA session, but that would be interesting to do over. See who dies yo Rabbit's paranoia fit this time.

I am unsure the specifics behind my action!
It will be a surprise for all of us, actions that occur still happen so I am not sure if something would be refunded.

Interpreting going back in time isn't the easiest thing in the world.

[DaisyCloud]

We used to ride this same train all the time. I can’t believe I’m back after all these years.

I sat still and alone. Out in the darkness, past the window, I could make out trees. Their branches were bare, other than a dusting of snow. In the spring time this place would be beautiful, full of life. Leaves and flowers everywhere, a dim sunset over the ocean, and all the great smells of nature. Maybe there would be more people on the train, a family with their kids. They could be here after a long day at the beach taking the train back home into the city. Old friends, just for a moment, catching up before returning to their daily lives. Maybe I’d be here, humming along to my favourite song, happy to hear myself and the ringing making music. Sometimes I think back and miss those times.

Soon, though, the memories are taken over by a dark, vitriolic loathing. I hate this place. I’m reminded of where I am. I’m on a bench, on a train. The hum of the engine vibrates through me. It vibrates through my seat, and through the carriage floor. I can feel the wheels on the track, buzzing. It’s cold outside. Snow is shaken off branches, carried by the wind. The trees rattle, their naked branches flying. I feel a pit in my stomach, which might have to do with missing dinner.

I shouldn’t have come back here.

Just past the trees is the ocean. I know somewhere out there is my home. It’s warm there. Cleo is probably resting, curled up on his favourite pillow. You can’t get a fireplace built into an apartment, but the space heater is enough. Laying in bed, I can hear it gently rattle at night. I can feel Cleo
laying beside me, me wrapped in my favourite blanket. I sip my coffee and read my book.

Instead, I’m on this train.

Out the window in the other direction there is a metal wire fence. It’s a sad, flimsy thing. It shakes in the wind, clanging against itself. The city is too far away for anyone to really hear it. Even at night there should still be cars roaming the streets, people laughing and having fun. With only a week until Christmas, stores will be crowded. The cold offset by that feeling. Outside a department store just off the main street, a person with a bell around their neck might be waiting. The gold bell she wears will chime a sound that will blend in with the rest of the holiday noise. Her sensitive ears will be cold if she doesn’t dress for the weather, but that’s okay. No one will pay attention to her, no matter what’s happening. She’s just a “catgirl”. No one cares about us.

But that isn’t me anymore. I’m on this train. Instead of a bell, I have papers, a French passport. It’s been years since I’ve been back here. In a couple minutes the train will begin to slow to a stop. The rushing air will settle around us, and we will be told to grab our bags and depart. I’ll grab my things, cover my ears, and leave the train. I’ll be stopped. Asked where my “owner” is, where my bell is, why I’m covering my ears. They might take me aside, try to scare me. They’ll call me a stray, say they’re calling the CE to take me away.

But I’m a French citizen now. I’m a person. They can’t treat me like that, but they will. It’s inevitable. Despite that, I grab my bags and depart.

Spoiler: show

Are you lolcatting by posting Nekopara fanfiction?

Spoiler: show

why are they on the train? poor kitty. why would people be mean to a cat?

I love all creatures. I'm like a guardian. i have a cat. my cat is sweet.

[beeboy]

Cause like actions still happen.
Which would mean if you vanillized me, it wouldn't undo that action as a hypothetical.
So I am not sure if that would allow you to use the action a 2nd time.

In regards to "melting", that would revolve around how that pm is worded.
If you melt by day 4, I think we are technically doing day 2 a 2nd time so it in theory gives you more life.
If you day after X days pass, then an interpretation could be made that day 2 passed twice meaning no change happens.

[beeboy]

I could flavorfully skip the night and not understand my own role is another option.

[beeboy]

The only thing I can ensure really, is it will be day 2 a second time.
I cannot give you any details beyond that.

So odd and even night/day roles are 100% effected.

oh okay. yeah, I can see being confused by your role. you should talk to MacDougall and get it sorted if you haven't already.

actually sorry that comes off as mean and condescending. i didn't mean to put you down. just of you still have questions he be the best to help you out.

[Timsup2nothin]

[mention]beeboy[/mention]

Is there anything about your role, or anything you've done, that is alignment indicative?

I think by the time macdougal can let me know how it works the next day should already have begun lol.

[beeboy]

@beeboy

Is there anything about your role, or anything you've done, that is alignment indicative?

Honestly, even in my strong town games I usually answer no to this question.
The only way I wouldn't answer no is if I am doing something that harms me as scum.

So no I don't think so.
Honestly I play stronger then this as both alignments and any nuance I could point you to would just be wifom since I am aware of it.

[beeboy]

I guess to some degree, if I was scum I wouldn't care at all about end gaming given I am just memeing this game.
And I would use my role in a pro scum way, which would likely involve not using it.

Mafia is a game that typically night phases favor scum, I would not desire to have 2 day phases with ITAs without using my appropriate scum KP at night to balance it out.

Although my role is only really town if 2 conditions apply. Actions aren't refreshed and scum don't have an action worth refreshing. Even then giving town a double day can always offer benefits for scum as a reward for using the action. That is a balance mechanism I've personally used before and see used rarely. As scum maybe I wouldn't inform you of how my role would be balanced in the hands of scum as I am more mechanical then most players so I typically assume I've seen more then others.

See it's all wifom to ask someone why they are town unless they choose to not give you an honest answer and pretend they are incapable of doing certain things as scum

[DaisyCloud]

I miss [mention]Hyena[/mention] and [mention]sabie12[/mention] come and play. i miss [mention]cayvie[/mention] too.

and dare I say it? I miss [mention]PunchyTheCat[/mention] . are you back from your trip yet? I need you to call my reads poo and to yell at tim and to poke holes at what players say. i need you to play the devil's advocate or something.

[beeboy]

Like I can't say I shot myself in the foot.
Because I can't say Mac doesn't mod like I do where he just adjusts town roles to be scummy.
So my role could easily double day but give me a 2nd kill or some other benefit that makes it worth it.

And I can't say I wouldn't meme on purpose knowing I have a clearing role as scum.

I wish I could just lie to you but that's not how i like to play this game.

[beeboy]

[mention]PunchyTheCat[/mention] Is an unsung hero.
Even if his reads aren't 10/10 his presence always generates dope amounts of interesting content to read into.

Good answer. I was thinking that mechanically two day phases without a night phase generally is good for town, but in this role chaos that may not be true. If I were a "tone reader" I might be saying "but Beeboy just sounds towny here" because you do. But we are down to the point where everyone alive sounds pretty towny or they wouldn't be so I can't really get you out of my POE.

Have you noticed anyone you think is really wolfy?

[Timsup2nothin]

PUNCHY THE CAT!!!!

I hadn't thought!

Rewinding the day gives him a full added day before the poison kills him.

I think.

Hopefully anyway.

That would be dope.

No I am just waiting for someone to slip while I am live posting.
Sheep to some degree but I don't like shooting my boi on a weak case.

Whenever someone asks me to read them on behalf of the group they end up just flipping scum 50% of the time and sheep asked me to do that.

[beeboy]

If Sheep is town then that number goes down to 40%.
If he is scum that number goes up to like 60%.

Pretty wild I get so much new data.

[DaisyCloud]

beeboy if what you claim is true it looks town aligned as day is pro town and nite is pro wolves. you don't need to keep defending yourself with me.

help us find the wolves. we have a list that is supposed to be where vigs shoot and im assuming it's for day and nite ones. I'm not completely sure about it.

also be good to share your thoughts and such on other players not on the list too.

also in case you die or role blocked somehow. which could be possible because despite role madness mafia could have a counter, what should we do about that claim i (think it was colin or bob?) don't remember for sure who, made about putting 2 players against each and using nanook who can't die as the test to figure out players. we are making a list for that too iirc.

[sabie12]

I miss @Hyena and @sabie12 come and play. i miss @cayvie too.

and dare I say it? I miss @PunchyTheCat . are you back from your trip yet? I need you to call my reads poo and to yell at tim and to poke holes at what players say. i need you to play the devil's advocate or something.

Still gotta finish up some work stuff then I'll be around. I kinda caught glimpses of the beeboy stuff about double the day double the fun.

[DaisyCloud]

you know if MacDougall really did make all these type roles and just looking at what the dead has I feel kinda vanilla. but that is probably a good thing as im not so good a having big roles. he probably remembers that and took it easy on me, rightly so. i feel very free this game.

So I am going to use "Anni meta" to call daisy town.

To the best of my knowledge everyone claiming to be a town vig is a night vig. But putting off night I still think is fine because the wolves appear to have multiple janitored night kills and that is a serious problem.

[Apogee]

So I'm rereading flipped or presumed maf's ISOs

Ephemeral's told me a whole lot of nothing besides xalt looks partnery which we already knew cause he flipped, Tim if I squint could look partnery but eh he's probably town for getting locked out reasons and ted and him yelling at each other. Maple interactions could be partnery or pockety, but he shaded the legitimacy of hollowkatt's peek which probably should tell me more than I am taking from it.

[Apogee]

Honk take: All the players we cannot vote for are confirmed town.

Is this spewing us not mafia?

I think it spews the no vote list mostly town for sure

That kind of speculation looks just town when you do it. When you have actual information its hard to look just "off the cuff" so that's something I love doing as a wolf. But I personally would probably NOT tell the truth.

That said, does anyone have a copy of the "no vote" list from day one?

[Apogee]

The use of anime gifs will result in the offender being reported to the thought police and possibly experiencing the loving care of the Ministry of Love

Does 1 flipped, one claimed, and one plausible (Maple) mafia reacting to my thought police joke spew me town

Like can we accept this as a reason to townread me so I have to read less of this game
