I want to see everyone's reaction to this oats thing.

@phagga
on the counterside, Sharranth talked a lot about Vivax but only defending him. Like, defending hard. I think I made an earlier post about that, before the whole "slip" thing.

@Oatsmaster
if you're town, don't feel demotivated. You are not dead yet and we can still let you live no problem. Use this moment to your advantage, and pressure people who you think are scum.

good morning.

Sharrant is weirder and weirder(need more posts from him); fferyllt looks better than at day 1; ghost had a cool post on sharranth; sentinel and deconduo are pretty set on what they are doing; blazinghand loves saying I'm town; mkfuba asked a nice question but he seems lurky; phagga is greenpeace

yet to comment on oatsmaster thing: fferyllt, sharrath

If you are town remember that the day is not over

Good morning everyone, glad to see I was wrong about Vivax.

I don't buy into the whole "hosts let him get away with using cardinal directions because he is scum", that could've been an honest mistake, I don't particularly buy into the host WIFOM. What I believe makes it a scum slip is that he said "I wanted to move here". A townie would have no idea who they are, so how could they have a specific destination in mind?

On the board I am most certainly L, all I did was an about face, didn't figure anyone else would do anything similar, and I didn't want to potentially move myself into a worse position by blindly moving. (about 70-30 chance of picking the right direction versus not)

It seems to me that the optimal movement for town is as follows: Form into large groups as quickly as possible, and gather up stragglers as we move around the board. The trick here, is that once we are into a group, we do not want our specific move patterns known. It's been revealed to us through Vivax's PM that the angels have a "leap" mechanic, where they match a players movement within a certain range. We can use this to our advantage in the following way: Once we are in groups of 3-4 people, the group will set a direction of up to 3 spaces. The players in the group will all keep their moves hidden but will do their best to follow the assigned direction and distance. (optimal distance is probably 1 or 2) The people on the outside of the group always move inwards, and the people on the insides always move outwards. I believe this would make the leaps ineffective in the clutter because of bodyblocking. It also means if an angel does get inside the group, we can pretty much guarantee at least someone will have their flashlight on the angel, after that it's just coordination.

[green]If an angel encounters an obstacle, say a town character, that is not their intended target during a leap what will happen?
If a player ends the night beside an Angel, does that Angel feed automatically, or does the Angel have to specify the target in advance and then get close to them?[green]

Can you expound on the bolded part?

Ok, I understand that I asked the question wrong, because that's not what I wanted to know.

Is there anyone specific on the Oats wagon that you are leery of?

Also, quite generally, who would you like to lynch currently? Who looks like scum to you and why?

Honestly your non-contribution imo is a big lead. I'm willing to eat my hat on that, etc etc. For what it's worth, if you are in fact a townie, you should share your thoughts with the thread before you flip. I drew a lot of my analysis from reading marv's filter etc knowing that he was town. I'd like you to leave behind, if not something comparably useful for us, something at least non-useless.

of course, if you're scum, feel free to ignore this and continue lurking!

You have one scum read, it's "leaning scum", and it's on sentinel entirely because he defended you and nothing else in possibly the least interesting post of his filter
