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

[Apogee]

My suggestion: with the current level of claimed town kill power and the ITAs the bottom zones on my list will not make day three. There should be one or two wolves in there. Maple will get chopped and by all lines of thinking I can find that's a wolf. Based on N1 wolf kill power is gonna peel four or so off the top. Punchy will be dead from poison. So you start day three with two hundred pages of nonsense about mechanics and everyone somehow "townread"...just throw it all out.

What you really have is about fifteen players who have demonstrated they are willing to play with one or two wolves among them. NEW GAME. Start fresh and just play Mafia. Anything in the range of 14/2 or so is massively town sided, so just play that from scratch and win.

Yeah doing this is a lesson I'm learning

[Apogee]

Also I hate the first page of Colin's ISO and want to blast with prejudice
But like his second page is ok?

But there isn't really enough that I feel strongly compelled to keep him around

And by ok I mean like plays into my somewhat suspicion of bob and iaafr and like the reasoning feels okay but I still really really dislike his pg1

The key is you just have to push everyone to play fresh. The players who are willing to turn it up and town it up...great. The ones that keep going back to "I cleared back on day X just look" are suspect, because that just turns into "yeah so did I" and throwing up hands. You'll probably have to chop one or two just for refusing to cooperate. But that's okay. 14/2 find the wolves is winnable. Go get 'em. If by chance I'm still alive I'll help.

There is a theory that Colin/Bob are not w/w together that is kinda popular.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Why would you not be alive at that point tim?

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Jpic can’t kill you without outing if he’s mafia, if he’s town you can’t die tonight, so. Either way you should expect to be around tomorrow yeah?

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

I’m going to sleep then I’ve got work to do, I’m content with our ITA list and someone please ping me if/when ITAs are announced so I can try to be there.

[Iwan]

Sheep who do I shoot in the ITAs

coliniscool or drwilgy

iwan is a good shot too but i remember someone vouching for him (nonmechanically) idk think it was rabbit

Im definiteky town but im a weak role that has like, nothing to do with my flavour.
I feel like Mac was kinda feed up when he did my role because i kinda randomly signed up after the time was already finished
Anyway Ive been softly hinting but basically i watched mapples during night 1
But despite this being a very shit investigation like ability my result will only be shown during the never to happen night 2
So yeah, if i need to go you guys are likely getting more info from my confirmed dead body than wathever result i get during the night

[Iwan]

If I'm throwing out reads purely based off of where I think I recall *shrugs* or *headtilts*

I kinda want to look at Rabbit and/or Sheep. But at least rabbit has a good claim and sheep might too right.

Who is DrWigly
And who is Iwan

I'm going to read them

hello apogee im iwan~desu
My posts have been pretty meh tbh
Ive contributed at some extent but i definitely could have done better

[Timsup2nothin]

I might go on a yolo adventure and ask JPIC to JK someone else. With this second try thing I might be able to activate my superpower, and if I do it's worth a night out of the jail to use it...even if the wolves kill me in the process.

[WerewolfHunter]

If someone wants to jailkeep me feel free too. Honestly I think someone else is prob better and its best not for the evils to know for sure here.

I would also appreciate a ping for itas to try and be there. I'm down with taht list. I also see no way we are getting out of going after maple here. I expect them to flip town though

That "town lost wolf" thing sounds so sincere...but if we start believing that level of absurdity every wolf claims to be a unicorn and we just lose. Maple is a good enough player to recognize that even if they are telling 100% the truth and look towny AF doing it they still just have to die. The wolves buried him to deep with their clear Maple sacrifice gambit. If they did that to clear t!Maple I'm gonna be really curious to read the wolfchat and find out why.

[Maple]

I already hard claimed 3p smh

[Apogee]

I already hard claimed 3p smh

What's your best guess as to why the whole Hollowkatt -> Xalt peek thing unfolded then?

[Timsup2nothin]

I already hard claimed 3p smh

I know...so why do the wolves decide to go to such great lengths to clear you? I mean, just among the known wolves it seems like HK could have easily cleared Tedxtr on his way out instead. Or cut the loop short and just claim day cop and hard clear Xalt himself. If you aren't a wolf how do you fit in there?

[Maple]

I have no earthly idea. If I had to guess, I'd say HK's scan was probably mafia/not mafia, and that the wolves didnt use Xalt d1.

But that wont be relevant soon

I've decided I'm just going to go with it

[Maple]

The simplest explanation has to be "someone else killed BK", I suppose.

[Long Con]

"Town Lost Wolf" 3p.

Indeed.

I like it better when we just agree that this combination of known wolf roles and activities leaves unfortunately no choice but chopping you, and you help us and/or lolcat along making the best of it. If you are town we're gonna win this for you and teach these wolves a lesson for framing you.

[Timsup2nothin]

Never chop, good 'til we drop

NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME-the stump-can't kill him, gotta trust him...could be 3P but does it even matter?

Seem locked on claims or roles or targets

DaisyCloud-ITAed a wolf (buss unlikely) Hyena gave her a heart and if she is wolf says that would kill him
Hyena-Hands out hearts to town that boomerang him if handed to wolves and gave one to DaisyCloud, also silenced
Epignosis-claims town vig, uncontested credit on Speedchuck, could be SK so watch leash
Logic-Read as sale alignment with Nanook by Poison
PunchyTheCat-poisoned, I think by confirmed wolf Speedchuck, but almost certainly by wolves
Timsup2nothin-silenced, seemingly obviously by wolves-yes this is me, deal with it
sheepsaysmeep-targeted by mafia gaslighter Ephemeral with fake redcheck

Role claims less locked

cayvie-claims town vig with pelt of Tedxtr...this pelt also claimed much later by ColonialBob
colonialbob-claims comparator power, choose two and kills both if unaligned-claims Tedxtr and Awesome O kills
Justplayingitcool-claims town jailkeeper, tasked with keeping Tim alive-may be town, may be leashed
iaafr-claims to have captured wolf Ephemeral trapped in a dungeon, seems plausible

Role claims at least somewhat NAI

beeboy-reset time providing an extra day phase
Apogee-claims to have ability to cancel night wolfchat
DDL-has communicated with spec chat
WerewolfHunter-claims to be a self resolving ice cream sandwich that is going to just melt and fired an ITA at very important wolf Xalt

Got nothin goin for them

Long Con
sabie12
Sprityo

On kill list

ColinIsCool
DrWilgy

ColinIsCool
DrWilgy
iwan

IF ALL THREE OF THEM ARE DEAD OPEN THIS:

Spoiler: show

[sheepsaysmeep]

iwan is claiming to receive an investigative result the next night phase so that can probably live pas today?

if both colin and wilgy die and he gets resolved i wouldnt be super put off though

[Timsup2nothin]

Well the result he is waiting for is Maples, who is gonna be flipped before that result comes in. That keeps him NAI and also might be a ploy to buy Maples another day, which would make everyone crazy.

[juliets]

HEADS UP

I'm bored so the first person to post a 60 second video of them quacking like a duck gets a gun for 1 shot!

GO!

[Timsup2nothin]

If you are town and get that shot you had better shoot in the kill list,

[juliets]

Maybe we have a shy group this evening.

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Juliets channeling her inner broseph lmao

[juliets]

Juliets channeling her inner broseph lmao

I am picking up quite a few Mac-isms which are a shock to my system!

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

On the one hand I really want a gun

On the other I don’t believe it’s a real thing

Careful or next time you play a mafia game you’ll be a cross of myself and joe and nobody will know what to think!

[sheepsaysmeep]

quack

[juliets]

On the one hand I really want a gun

On the other I don’t believe it’s a real thing

Would I lie?

[Timsup2nothin]

On the one hand I really want a gun

If you get a gun and try to shoot Maples something grand is gonna happen. I'd do the quacking and give you the gun.

Sheepsaysquack

[Timsup2nothin]

That's almost as cute as the bunny gifs

[juliets]

this me

That's adorable but not you. Maybe you'll get a consolation prize.

[juliets]

Well, I wanted so bad to give away a shot! Mac would be so proud of me! But looks like no one is biting.

[Timsup2nothin]

Someone with technical knowledge clip a minute of me from the G10 podcast video and dub in that quacking.

[juliets]

Hahahahaha I would accept that!

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]
