Depends on how strong and large that swing is

The structure holding the swing might get hit first

counterpoint: we are not forcing anything. it was destined to be like this. or you could say ... determined

20K is special even if it forced like 1% of the way as well because there hasn't been a 20K not-forced on this site.

I'm joking. Kinda. But seriously! I'm glad that I prolonged a mis-yeet to happening much later and the other never got deleted.

Some new stuff for the site record books.

Highest combined post count for any single game ever.

tutuu had the highest single game post count ever.

JPIC had the 3rd-highest single game post count ever.

Michelle lands 6th I believe.

10 players overall with 1,000+ posts, which I believe more than doubles the total instances of 1,000 post games in site history (or at least it's close).

Must be record-breaking season.

Longest (This Game) and shortest game (Simple Arsonist) ever completed within a few weeks of each other.

gg everyone

Yeah well that's why I said kinda

He did get hit by two big bits of circumstantial mech (or alleged mech) against him.

And I have doubts as to how willing mafia would be to holster a night-kill to trip us up

Then again Cat was low-activity and it was d1 so idk what that has about plausiblity of mafia, if they were provided with fake claims, were to fake claim then.

And Marmot got flash-wagoned so IDK if that really counts, as well as Nanook getting shot in the night unexpectedly.

I *kinda* want to buy it because I don't think any of the deleted mafia provided a fake claim if ever?

Oh Ted claimed 3p huh.

Also it feels awesome 2nd day in a row seeing no votes in my two town-reads that I was hard-defending on d1 and d2 ^_^

I'm thinking other than ted there's at most 1 more mafia, if there's any more.

Since Alison is a 3P and is technically non-town, and we already deleted 112 the 3P as well as 3 (now 4 with Sloonei) mafia.

[VOTE: Sloonei] aubergine

I wonder if the wording of the feedback of being red-checked allows for them saying a simpsons quote whenever on a day phase.

Then they could technically hold it off till EoD, but that may break the spirit of the fancy cop check lol.

^^ don't see how this really works with Martin's results

Oh that changed?

I thought it had a different wording and she protects.

Master Radishes wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 7:24 pm Wait it was Dizzy who had protection right?

Where's tutuu's list...

Dizzy does do protection of some kind. IDK, but it would appear both our claims support each other given we both targeted nutella n3 and my negative effect was the one that likely failed.

I'm giving this like 10-15 mins before I go back to working on my paper

so if anyone currently here has questions shoot now plz

So I think its time for me to full claim now.

What I do is that I protect someone from death, but also role-block them. I can't do one or the other, I must do both unless I fail to do so. Apparently I'm from the Pyre game, with my role name being "Jodariel".

n1 Falcon (For role-block)
n2 JPIC (For role-block as I was suspecting him at the time)
n3 Nutella (For protection; I'm guessing what "failed" is my role-block give the Dizzy claim)
n4 Tedxtr (Obviously, for role-block)

Now unless someone got reasonably saved by Dizzy (which is still possible) or someone else

It's also plausible that I role-blocked the mafia carrying the kill. Or tedxtr got attacked but then thats ??? imo.

Anyways, I role-blocked him mostly because his mech info didn't show up on that wonderful mech master list by @tutuu.

I'll try to be here more but no guarantees since I have a paper due on Thursday and an all-day (virtual) extracurricular conference on Friday.

[VOTE: TSP] aubergine

I have to look into 112 later.

There's also this too.

He's just genuine heck I wasn't even aware he made that post about feeling relieved of the pressure.

I looked at some of his interactions and his recent resurfaced suspicions on Hollowkatt and he just feels and looks town to me IMO.

That post makes it look even better for !town Sloon imo.

It feels too....un-wolfy? For sloonei to come back to HK simply because of a lack of a town-read by now and a seemingly authentic (to me) small suspicion the whole game.

Like, wolves would be more focused on the current discussions I think.

My experiences with you in video mafia tells me that you also have a bit of a devilish/unpredictable streak in you too, in addition to playing logically.

I just feel like he'd care more about his push on 112 as town.

I feel like you're the one who doesn't care about your pushes and now you're voting the right person for the wrong reasons imo lol. I agree with dya's assessment that you're going through the motions.

Also you're concerned about dizzy's read of you but he's barely read anything--though if I'm gonna trust any spontaneous guy read he has it would be on you as one of the players he's most familiar with

How exactly does anything evidence that I'm not caring about my pushes??? Yes I am caring, and I'm town. I refuse to be this suspected day 1 since I'm literally town and I don't understand any of this.

I'm a bit stressed since I'm going back to school in a few days and I have a lot of work to do but I still keep getting sucked into this game.

So you're in the tutuu camp of "please let 12 players die Night 1"?

Roles can change alignment when ported from a regular game into a role homage in the Champs game. I think that's part of the fun, really, and I'd be disappointed if it didn't happen at all. That said, it's also great to honour the evil or heroism of a role by keeping it as-is in Champs.

I am not sure if the original role was indeed a scum role, or if that's just something someone made up, as folk do.

Holy shit you are caught mafia.

LOL

That said, I don't think Thunal's caught mafia for reasking the same question.

Actually, I'm not sure I see this. I have a tendency to skim posts and not remember everything, isn't that just what's happening here?

This feels so lackluster; if Marmot was a wolf defending another teammate I would expect more than just a small and simple explanation or just "why are people voting Thunal" and "I was obviously joking". Heck, that might even be promoted by TMI on them being town. Or at least it feels like this is a simplistic defense of a townie rather than a wolf-teammate which I imagine would be more comprehensive.

I've explained thunal a lot and I think cat's a hit too (mostly based on mac's case)

i think that if both those wagons were to die today I'd be pretty happy

This post feels kinda manipulative. Why don't you want to entertain outside of these two?

That said, I agree that cat's posts are pretty scummy, but I disagree on Thunal.

Marmot wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 6:25 pm Cat's ISO looks meh. Their earlier posts don't look great, particularly the one where Sloonei asked for their reads. Their response to the case from Mac (and others) looked better. But they didn't really leave much of a legacy aside from Sloonei grilling them for reads.

I'm also happy voting falcon.


I will not be voting for Thunal though. The overtly formal nature of their approach being a sign of scum is a read I disagree with.

It would be strange to me if Marmot intentionally left 3 subjects to talk about at EoD1, and two of those three are his wolf buddies. Doesn't make sense to me.

I defended your slot D1, but then was concerned I was wrong with the Dya NK who was heavily suspecting you D1

Oh I forgot about that.

I also defended Thunal Day 1. Please live up to those expectations hk

I don't think you would forget defending a wolf temmate, where your goal is in part implicity is to not allow the death of teammates and if said deaths are not avoidable then to try and benefit the most from them in the goal of eliminating towns.

So I can't spend a whole lot of time on this but looking at Marmot's ISO wrt Thunalkatt I think it's more favorable to spewing Thunalkatt as town rather than a wolf teammate.

I'll be coloring what I find to be indicative, and it has a very few small comments in pink by me.

@Sloonei

Though I have yet to look though the HK iso.

noted. i also have not done any work to substantiate my suspicion. it's just there.

Yeah but the fact that you came back to after all this time was interesting to me and so I wanted to reflect on that to see if anything's changed about my perspective.

Also its furthered my town-read on you imho.

I also looked at Sloon's concerns (again) at D1 and I think they're a bit valid but as he said in the past (idk about now), its more of a matter of a "lack of a townread" and honestly that's what makes me feel like Thunalkatt was just simply being misunderstood and partially why I believed in her being town so much on D1.

Or something along those lines.

Yes, ok, but you still said only 1/2. I'm still not sure how you figured that out. But I don't know if it's important.

I didn't figure it out.

Dunya and Epi did.

My only guess as to why my role got feedback of it failing "in part" is because apparently I use a "cold icy glare" in the description of my role. So if one of my actions failed, I would see it.

Or just simply host policy. I have no freaking clue.
