oh okay, sorry. read that incorrectly.

I guess it doesn't make sense that you would bus onto Fidei so readily instead of trying to get people onto a different train, but would your vote have made a difference? assuming two mafia are on the Fidei bus vote, who could you have convinced to hammer PB instead of Fidei? Also if BH saw people getting off the Fidei train, he most likely would have put his vote back in... like he said he was an "honorary" member and his entire argument was that the Fidei vote wasn't in danger. I'd have to read his D1 filter again, but I don't think he wanted to sheep any other vote. so you survive, you ride the Fidei vote to clear your blue claim, sets you up for a solid defense later in the game.

Fidei86 will be lynched.



So assume two people are on Fidei that are Mafia with BH voting grack b/c he's fooling around and doesn't see any other bussing happening elsewhere, while being very active during deadline.

Take two people off Fidei (Let's say Grack and you for example) and you're at this:

Fidei86 (4): Onegu, Tumblewood, Tubesock, Tumblewood, Grackaroni, LightningStrike, Holyflare

Put those votes on PB, you're at 4 on PB 4 on Fidei.

I'm pretty sure Fidei gets lynched first in this case, so you'd have to convince someone else, but the moment BH sees this 4v4 he'll probably put his vote on Fidei making it 5:4. So you'd need to convince HF, LS, or Tubesock off a Fidei train in like 15 minutes (or however fast this train happened), or you just safely bus onto your mate and your blue claim lets you live.

IDK it just seems like it'd be a long shot to try to convince someone in that small window of time. I just feel like it's safer to just bus onto your mate with the way things are happening and try to pin scum on people outside of that bus. Also without your blue claim I'm not sure if Fidei would have died anyways, but I can't speak to events that might have happened

also can you explain why you wanted me or pb dead if you died somehow N2?

like what makes us scummy. you haven't been playing this game at all, you haven't died with a doc claim, and now you're stuck in a spot where we have 3 blue claims with you having the least town cred and absolutely no credibility in helping the game move in any direction

check out the votes as they came in d1. you voted pb, and soon afterward i voted pb thinking that was the most likely shenanny. grack, apparently looking at an old version of the page, voted pb (following me) right after i switched back onto fidei. my scum partner absolutely could not be anyone but pb, ls, or ts. if it's pb this all makes sense i suppose. if it's ls or ts, they could make the vote total 3 on fidei in our favor before i switch, grack making it 4 and effectively making pb the only viable shenanny.

like yeah, if you're going at it with no context and everyone's vote remaining as they are PB is a viable shenanny but you're completely ignoring BH not voting on Fidei because he saw no value in adding his vote onto the train. If you're at a 4:4 with ls or ts on there, would you really risk trying to convince someone to jump off the Fidei train, possibly shenanny PB, and if you fail, look incredibly suspicious for trying to jump people off a mafia shenanny?

because i thought everyone else in the game was very townie and you two somewhat disappointing, like you were there but had a small thread presence. + Show Spoiler +
i keep trying to reword that sentence to explain what i mean and it's very hard.

i had some people i wasn't comfortable writing off just yet but who had overall looked pretty townie, and some who i had already written off, and you two. it's been a process of elimination sort of game for me. since then all of the backburner suspicions have either claimed or been green-checked by ritoky. i am 70% certain it's either hf/you or hf/pb, unless ritoky is lying. maybe ts could be scum? i think i wrote him off but then he stopped posting.

he might but even with only him and onegu the pb wagon would still lead. i doubt ls voted fidei out of specific conviction and instead just jumped on the biggest non-me wagon, so it still works out in that scenario

so even at this point of the game you think LS has more thread presence than me? like his last few posts were literally nothing and his excuse was "I tend to sheep more as townie"

which is absolute bollocks to me because I have no idea what you normally do as townie.

for what it's worth I'm almost certain scum team is you and LS, but I'd rather have other people weigh in and read their decisions instead.

If anyone wants to know my reason why I think scum team is LS and TW:

Out of the 3 blues, TW is the most suspicious. This is the most active he's been because he realizes he can't just coast his doctor claim to LYLO and then win by convincing one of the townies.

I actually think that Fidei might have been inactive and when the shenanny happened, LS and TW made an executive decision to bus Fidei instead of trying to swing a 6-2 (7-2 with BH if he's on Fidei) onto a townie and possibly fail.

The fact that TW is completely ignoring LS town play and reading me, pb, and even tubesock before LS is suspicious to me.

good night peeps I'll catch up on the thread tomorrow.

also I'd like some insight on how to approach D3, and if I'm being stupid here or not because the best play seems to be ignore blues and hunt the last scum outside of the blue claim triangle.

Here's the quote:

Thanks!

OK here's the way I'm seeing it:

Ritoky is actually cop. Reading through his filter and his claim, the play makes sense. It backs mafia into a corner because now they have to scramble to justify their fake blue claim and try to sheep town onto the correct claim.

So it's basically HF vs Ritoky. Ritoky is very much likely to die N3 I think. If I was scum, I'd want to shoot Ritoky or RB him (if there is a roleblocker) to prevent any more information getting out for D4, otherwise we can just leave the blue shit behind us and find the last mafia and have ritoky check HF or TW and town wins the game. Obviously mafia won't do that, so we should focus on this day figuring out who is scummates with HF or TW, and lynching him.

I might be wrong, but I think mafia may try to tunnel all their focus on pushing the focus of D3 into who is the blue claim liar, and try to misdirect town into mislynching the correct blue claim and killing off ritoky. I think that's the best mafia player here, which is why I suggest we pressure non-blue claimed players and finding the last scummate. More likely than not whoever is mafia is going to either fight really hard to keep attention off his last scummate, or bus him and try to play out of a 50/50 lynch chance with 4 townies and 1 scum.

Any thoughts? I may be missing something

good night peeps I'll catch up on the thread tomorrow.

i don't read ls off of thread presence or any of that. at some point in the first two cycles of a town game ls makes his alignment totally obvious with a post that misses the context of something in an overtly townie way. it's hard to explain but if you'd like i can point out the post that made it obvious for me this game.

i'm not staunchly opposed to the idea. there may be some advantage in allowing blue roles another night, because we either get a potential save, a cop check, a vig shot, or a dead (and thus confirmed) blue.
if we do lynch a non-claimed blue today, i want it to be pb because i'm starting to think you're town and i just didn't pay enough attention to you. i'd give him a 60% chance of flipping scum, and then if he doesn't we try and solve the whole blue thing on d4. not a huge loss to ML today because whoever that is would probably have been MLed later in the game anyway.
so yeah, that's a solid plan if everyone else isn't too busy trying to kill each other.

So, I won't ve able to do much in the next 24 hours. My stance is that tw is the fake claim. I have a but of paranoia about tw being the real doc but it is unlikely for a couple of reasons (2 prot roles or cop/doc which is strong for town, tw being absent D2, tw claiming only to avert lynch, tw not being killed over BH (like you always kill claimed blue here to prevent what hf did) and even more I think)

Ritoky being cop feels reasonable, HF being vig meh okay ill take it.

From a 0 context set-up point of view I think cop-doctor makes more sense than cop-vigi. That said I have no knowledge of how kita rolls his setups and if it is in role packages or if he RNGs 1-4.

The major problem I have with HF being mafia is that I am like 60% sure he has had a blue read on me for most of the game. And the fact that I was not dying or getting roleblocked after having that feeling from him makes me have severe doubts.

HF, you kept saying TW could not be the doctor, which means you had a blue read on someone who was it?

Re: ignoring the blues idea. I am not in a place where I can consider if there's any mechanical shenanigans we can do to game the system? I don't think there is a fool-proof one? From my PoV, there's no reason to lynch outside the claims. I have a 50% chance of hitting mafia today and a 100% chance of hitting mafia by tomorrow. Which guarantees us at worst a F5 with 1 mafia left; at best it's 1 mafia left and 1 blue alive tomorrow.

Plus I think with me narrowing the game down so much with checks on players who were probably in mafia's "lynchable" category; I won't be allowed another check. I think ignoring the claims will just have you waking up tomorrow with me dead and an entire phase of TW vs HF.

Also I can dig up all of my crumbs when I wake up tomorrow if people would like, but the most prominent ones are when I said I was certain vivax was fake cop and challenged to see if he was not taking his claim back.
