It still feels like both plans diminish responsibility. "It is just math."

I would prefer to post to GMs my top choice, and announce it at EoN. Some recrd keeping would allow the investigator to warch, note. And figure things out to reveal when they have some scum to announce.

Risk investigator is NKed. But that's the game.

I WILL go along with everyone though according to the survey.

Sweet is seeming artificial.

Jamie is a bit narrow. Ignorance humor. That is often more scum jamie. But i think jamie's opening suggestion towny.
Glad someone else picked up on it. Jamiet is picking a fight for absolutely no reason.

I think the mechanics stuff at least helped shorten the joke phase. Feels like once we've hashed things out we can move on to suspects.

I refute most strongly the suggestion that I have side-stepped you.

I am actively engaging you, while you respond by making fart noises and saying "I know you are but what am I?".

What questions of yours have I failed to answer?

Day 1 Vote Count 1


"The cleaning woman is stealing my things! And your sister never visits! Last time she was here she went on and on about what's-his-name. She's good for nothing, your sister; doesn't ever show up, and useless when she does. Have you finished fixing my computer yet?"

Tom's mother was in her usual mood today. Tom hated visiting his mother. He was convinced that she'd fallen ill because she accidentally said something nice about someone. But he went every day to visit; even though she claimed to never need him, and was never nice to him. She complained about everything, and the only time he saw her smile or laugh was at someone else's misfortune.

"Almost done, mom." He never did understand how she managed to delete libraries in hidden folders, while also not knowing how to open any application but e-mail and web browser.

Tom was about at his limit for dealing with her invective stream.

"You really should think about a different haircut. Or dying your hair. The salt and pepper look only works for men in better shape than you."

"Yes, mom. I think I got your computer working again."

"About time. If you fixed it right last time, you wouldn't have to keep coming back here. It's annoying that you come around here and never have anything interesting to talk about."

"I know mom. I'll see you tomorrow with your next round of medications." As upsetting as it was dealing with his mother, Tom at least felt a sense of pride is his filial duties. But he really wished he hadn't had to cancel his date to fix her computer.

FWIW, sweet…this was the almost identical dynamic between Jamie and I last game. Not saying it’s foregone AI but he was town last game. I just didn’t want to let up with my gut feel and I paid the price. D2 was it?

What a weird group of individuals. Jamie seems more likely to be mafia but the chance is negligible. This seems like manufactures scum on scum or town on town.

Again, I think it’s too easily manipulated by mafia. I endorse doing +1s to vote.
On reflection I agree, and I have now chosen MadMonarch's proposal.
Asked Just but also want to ask you, how do you think mafia could manipulate this and what do you see as the consequences of that?

I'm a bit suspicious of darg because we reviewed this setup but it seems on brand for Kak.
Since you are using this meta-knowledge of Darg:

During the approval process, did either of you question / ask for clarity on any particular parts of the setup? Was there much debate or did you just rubber-stamp it?
We spent a while thinking through how town could best use the role. I'm just surprised he's not wanting to optimize at all now.

I still feel like bozos proposal is the best option. I’d rather have more information.

So then my follow-up: how is this worse than if the suggestion were scum?

Genuinely want to understand your thought process here; in my opinion, the early post made by (I believe) bozo which outlined the following --
- If the investigation result is Mafia, then VotedPlayer and InvestigatedPlayer are have the same alignment as one another
- If the investigation result is Town, then VotedPlayer and InvestigatedPlayer have different alignments from one another

-- feels like it gives us an equal tier of information either way. I personally don't think it matters who the town votes for as long as we all know who that is.

But I definitely want to know if/why you think otherwise.

I think that getting a dead-set read on an individual is not as important as setting up the alignment pairs between different players in the game. If the investigator lasts long enough, they can get pretty close to solving it, I would imagine.

But again open to others' thoughts since clearly this is controversial

It's nice to have a chance to get a real guilty, surely?

Anyway, this doesn't matter a huge amount. I have endorsed MonarchtheMad's proposed mechanism.
