Nice. I'm glad that worked out, Sloonei got the vest because he was the first to suggest I stay out of the POE for a few days, or something.

Was Nanook nightkilled?

Alison says she gave jay a double vote. It can be tested by making jay’s vote the tiebreaker.

It is not happening. I floated as a “hey this option exists if we want to do it” play, and no one seems to want to do it, so that’s that.

It's players like him why I've decided to put up my definition of bastardry in a post somewhere. I'm planning to clearly link it when my next hosted game (and any future games) happens. So if anyone complains about bastardry (when its not fmpov) they'll have to admit they really should have read it as they were warned how I defined it.

I don't mean this negatively towards them though. Just that I'm creating it to *hopefully* create a more accurate level of expectations.

Thank you This has been so fun!!! Everyone here is so great, and I’ve truly enjoyed every minute of this game with you all (even if I didn’t love my role lol).

Now you'll have plenty of time for video mafia today at 7 eastern!

Ohh! I forgot about that! I’ll try to remember and be there (but my kids’ bedtime is at 7:30 so I’ll need to bring them to bed then lol)

Actvscenei wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 10:17 am Alright, so here’s my claim:

I am a third party survivor with a 1-shot commuter ability. On night 1, I had to choose between mafia and town to align with. I could only win with whichever side I chose. If I die, I cannot win with any faction. I’m just dead. I aligned myself with town primarily because of mindset. I knew that if I had any chance at survival, I needed to be playing with the mind to eliminate scum (also, scum died D1 so the odds were already moving in a town direction lol). I also commuted that night (N1).

This means there is another reason to consider why there was no N1 kill, although I cannot imagine I would have been the target. It is a possibility however. It does give me pause about the watcher claims though, because I think the idea that the NK was focused on Jay and both watchers watched Jay, and all that just feels a little too coincidentally concentrated when so many other roles are out there.

This is why I didn’t trust Gavial’s claim immediately either because he seemed to readily trust that roleblocking Hawk was an immediate answer and nearly confirmed red check. I knew I commuted and that meant there was another possibility. If there is another role like mine, then maybe someone else commuted too.

I have played relatively low key for the sake of survival trying to be both helpful to town without trying too hard in an effort to balance between avoiding a yeet and avoiding a NK. I can assure you though, I have absolutely played with a townie mindset. It has been in my personal interest for town to win, even though I am 3p.

Good luck, town!

[VOTE: actvscenei] aubergine

I actuvely distrust 3P claims.

As I expect. My purpose for claiming is not to save myself, but to offer what minor information I had and an explanation for my play style. When I die and flip 3p, the automatic speculation is that I’m scum sided, and to remove that question or doubt, I am making the claim here. It will help town to know that my mindset was town and that I commuted N1 when looking at the game state of things. I will flip 3p survivor, and it will confirm my claim. When that happens, you’ll know I played singularly and uninformed. I don’t know who tf mafia is, and I voted Owner and Orange because I thought they were scum (and I did genuinely think Dana was too).

I don’t trust Guillo, Allcrab, or Martin (not necessarily in that order), and I have vague mistrust in Jay, Seanzie, LostMonkey, and Gnome. Idk how many 3ps there are, but if the poisoner is a 3p, I imagine Alison is not a 3p because I don’t see there being more than 2 3ps (unless there are two of my role? In which case someone here knows I’m not making shit up right now haha). I’m horrible at mechanics, but that’s my guess.

Someone who has a mafia teammate that also gives gifts, and who knows that those gifts are incredibly powerful (guaranteed unstoppable 1-2 KP + roleblock + rolestop)

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 9:22 am @NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME you’ve said you’re banking on a mafia team of 6 and also that you suspect the poisoner is a mafia role.

These are almost definitely not both true. How do you reconcile?

Alison wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 1:21 am I still think it's nook because I don't think nook is mafia but he's not acting like town nook at all. He hasn't picked any hills to die on and he seems completely apathetic about the game, as though he's trying to mimic the slankiness of his town self but without the core of genuine caring about the game underneath which is why he doesn't have those "nah X is just town, get off them, idc what you do as long as you don't vote X" moments.

So if nook isn't town and nook isn't mafia then it stands to reason nook is the poisoner. Him dropping off in activity to avoid being shot for his D1 nutella push makes sense, him being generally UTR as 3P makes sense. The pieces fit.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 1:47 am Most likely current ratio is 12:2:1. That’ll be 12:1:1 when Act flips mafia (forgive my bravado).

Under the circumstances I think a dedicated poisoner hunt will be easy to justify on Day 5. The mafia hunt should obviously continue as well. Staying ahead of the opposition is ideal though.

I'm flirting with the idea he doesn't actually have a shot


More seriously, he claimed something that initially looked like it couldn't be true, so far hes been using the threat of the shot in a fairly anti town manner (forcing discussion on the shot target and swallowing up a lot of time on that while also holding the shot)


I don't really think hes mafia but I am annoyed

"Forcing discussion on the shot target" is the same as "Prompting discussion about the thread's top suspects." What else are we supposed to be talking about in here?
