I'm in Japan for five more days so I probably won't be suuuper active but I'll try to check in regularly!

What!! I'm so jealous. I would love to hear about your trip!

yeah, I would recommend no role claims by anyone ever. That soup thing could get messy quick.

That might be good and all until an out-of-the-loop townie hops in and angrily counter-claims the fake role claim

Did someone actually paid any attention to the kind of claim I suggested? I'm talking about a loophole to counter the no reveal at death on lynches.

Since this is a majority lynch setup, we decide when someone gets lynched by hammering. I suggested that that someone claims just before getting hammered, not as a plea to avoid the lynch but as giving info to the town.

I also raised the cons of such a strategy and I don't think it's viable with janitored night kills and narrowing the soup kill for them witches.

Also lol my conclusion was that it's not a really good strategy after all

Why do you keep bringing this up? It's a shitty idea for reasons you acknowledge.

Nah, it's just a sportsball reference.

Baseball, yeah. Cost me money.

I suspect juliets. She looks like she did when I hosted her in Addams Family.

I submit to the class a collection of gifs that I didn't get the opportunity to post in previous games or else I forgot.

If I was accused of being mafia in BSG by someone who I thought was town


If Speedchuck had self voted in Adams Family

Well the ones I used in context were better, probably.

Let's just lynch the first two players to vote for me again.

Thank you. I'm trying to strongarm Speedchuck into watching it.

ive never seen it, i just recently played FATE GO

i wouldve said that you're technically safe if only one person claims a role, but mafia has unlimited soup kills so nvm.

if they only had one then we could have more leeway in the role claim department

I deleted my account cause GO was too grindy but now I'm regretting it because I hear the story gets better later on. I can't bring myself to start over because I had Gil, HS Emiya, HercZerker and Joan and the chance of getting them back without massive grinding is slim.

Sadly I am not. Fortunately neither are you.

Been here a number of years, I just found I was too busy to commit to games.

So I'm coming in rusty as heck and not fully sure I understand how this game operates, but I learn by doing.

I stopped reading thread to reply to this so sorry if the answer is further down, but have you got Lynch times yet? Trying to coordinate with the European time difference.

I like the look of nova and Epi.

I am willing to entertain Epi’s suspicion of Juliets.

I don’t like the look of Luna. Her response to nova Is no good imo.

Also, haven’t read the whole outline yet, bummed to hear we don’t get lynch flips. I’ll go read the outline now. :P

I’m going to channel my inner aspen and ask some questions...

Does Brick get to choose from any player in case of a tie or no lynch or is he/she limited by to the players involved in the tie/no lynch? This Q to Speedchuck.

So we will not be able to tel the difference between an Axton kill and a witch kill is what I’m getting? This Q to speedchuck.

Is it worthwhile to try and find a way for us to given Lilith an idea who to target at night? Or is it possible to do so without role claiming or making oneself a target for witches? Q to the group.

So we’ll know when a martyr save happens... k. But Roland has no info to base the suicide decision upon. How can we use this? Just hope aroland has a good gut? Q to the group.

How does it help is Salvador know sthe role of the player they killed if Salvador is also dead from suicide...? Q to the group.

Maya, not a question a statement... we need to get Maya to end game.

Ah, ah! Maybe we can use the clown for Lilith! What if we decide as a group during the day who the clown should target at night with their pie? It won’t matter to the clown, the pies do nothing ilunless they hit a couple specific people, and if Lilith knows who is going to get hit by pies she can always target someone who is getting targeted and get info on how many witches we’ve got left. At least someone would be working with solid info then. Q to group.

Thought on nisha, Mordecai and Lilith be very careful about giving away your info in thread. Baddies are going to be watching for it.

Handsome Jack... hm. q to speedchuck, is double targeting allowed in this setup? Because if so, this is a potent role.

Wilhelm could make fake role claims a lot harder. No q, just thinking out loud.

Ooo we get info from failed soup kills! I like that, nicely done Speedchuck.

“For the purposes of this game, you may use the Borderlands role or typical tinyhunt role to declare targets.” - I have no idea what any of that means, can someone please explain?

New-U, OH! I see thegood it does to get info when you die now! And my double targeting question is answered too. Disregard those.

Death curse: once per game for each wotch or for the wotch team as a whole? Q to speedchuck.

Do dead witches continue to have btscwoth living witches? This will matter for those that go into Angel chat... q to speedchuck.

Final thought, Butt Stallion is a powerful thing that could really hurt us if we accidentally give it to a witch.

I'm not in the least uncomfortable, and wasn't when I entered the channel.

That was supposed to be my inner aapje not aspen lol

Oh I thought of a flaw in the idea of directing the clown’s target for Lilith, but I’m not sure it makes enough of a difference to outweigh the benefit. If we direct the clown’s target by public thread, and Lilith uses it then it will be obvious which target is Lilith’s andwhich is Mordecai’s. Is this a big enough drawback to make it a bad plan? Input please.

I think I've only played one game where there was a hammer. I think your idea is good but how would we know we are about to get hammered? Would someone say "I'm going to hammer now so please disclose your role"?

linki

Ok I’m going back to sleep, just one last question.

What’s the deal with these poll options?

Oh ok, so nvm.

Role claims are a bad idea, bad bad bad. Don’t do it. Haveweestanloshed that yet?

Omg... so many typos!!!

The trick is to trick wolves into lolcatting.

Also, it's a good thing Speedchuck isn't in this game cause he's always mafia but not always in the mafia, if you know what I mean.

Teach me the art of lolcatting

What does it even mean?

Lolcatting is when mafia decides it will be better to fuck around/taunt the town/post lolcats than try to not get lynched.

Oh ok - thanks Jack! Kinda like Mac did in A World Asunder at the end (tho maybe he didn't taunt town).

lots o linki

Juliets what do you think of everyone's entrance so far?

linki - when did this game happen? I don't remember it

Lol nova, I did that in the last game at your request and people called me bad for it so I'm not real keen on doing it again.

A World Asunder was Long Con's map game. It happened back in the Dec/Jan time frame.
