M55: The Last Party - Game Thread

[Jamiet99uk]

I want to know how a "Bolt Thrower" differs from a "Lightning Bolt" apart from the former being the name of a thunderous as fuck heavy metal band.

[dargorygel]

Foodcoats, did you throw it at yourself?

[Chaqa]

Posting this before EoN because I have at least a minor concern I messed up and might be night-killed.

My role, as people guessed and I said, has something to do with +1 interactions. However, I purposefully misrepresented it to give me a longer-term cover story. That said, the way Day 1 progressed, I've already used up my role and figured I should put out a dying declaration just in case.

Basically, my role didn't actually require me to +1 EVERY post. I said that in the hopes that others would +1 me in return, though this didn't really prove to be the case. My role gives me a one-shot ability to open a night QT with someone who +1's a post of mine.

Why would you expect anyone to +1 in return you if you were +1'ing everything mechanically? Wouldn't you be more likely to be reciprocated if your +1's appeared to be meaningful at least?

Can you still use the QT now, or only N1, or every night?

What happens if one of you dies? Can anyone else join the QT?

I can't say I thought through the logic of reciprocating +1's completely. I thought more people would be like EMC and myself and be throwing them out willingly, especially if I was +1'ing all posts.

I'd prefer to not disclose the full details of how the QT works at this time.

I used this ability to open a Night 1 QT with EMC. He was notified about this QT during Day 1, as it's instantaneous (this was a bit unclear to me at the time. I tried to withdraw the action but found out he had already received the QT link, albeit we couldn't post yet).

Why did you try to withdraw the action? At what time during D1 did you open the QT?

I was feeling like I would have more options in the future, and EMC seemed a little off to me, so I wasn't sure I wanted to link up with him.

I sent the original PM to grab EMC at 10:40 AM on Tuesday. I attempted to withdraw it around 8:30 PM that night, only to be informed it was too late as he was given the link to my QT (which had existed since start of game).

EMC informed me in this QT of what his role was. I don't want to say here yet, but if I die you absolutely need to lynch EMC immediately, AND it means Donny was guaranteed scum. I cannot over-stress this enough. But if I live, then there's no reason to and Donny was likely town.

So emc received information about Donny before EON. This pretty much means he must have a power to read a dead person's alignment. He said he is sure Donny was town. How can he be sure he was not some kind of Godfather? Does he know Donny's exact role?

I know that sounds odd, but it's the most information I can give at the moment in case I don't die. If I live, I don't think we should lynch him, but if I die, it means I messed up and he's almost certainly mafia.

Why do you think he would have wanted to kill you if he was scum?

EMC has information that directly links him to Donny, but the issue is it could go either way. If Donny was scum, EMC is scum. If Donny was town, EMC is town. That's about all I can say without completely blowing up EMC's role. I know this both because he told me, but also because he made a slight slip as to what his role was in the QT due to confusion on exactly what was going on.

Re: Godfather/exact role - Yes, he knows exactly what Donny's role was.

I do wonder a little bit if Jamie is being genuine though

Why would he announce his target if he was scum? What scum role would want to do that?

[bozotheclown]

Exactly this. I've been saying this for a long time lol

I was not online at EON.

Not EON necessarily, but it feels like you have gone backseat in general compared to usual.

Who were you responding to D1?

[Chaqa]

I guess, tell me if I should say something before you Chaqa, if that would help belief

Welp, this is what I get for Flavius'ing.

That's a good question. Bolt Thrower makes very little sense.

Lol, too late. I have no disagreement with what Chaqa wrote.

[foodcoats]

@Sarah what do you make of all this?

that's weirdly helpful... coaching your scumbuddy?

[foodcoats]

Yeah I guess I should claim to protect better PRs. I am the bolt-thrower.

I left three crumbs, but obviously the best was the Bestial Invasion link.

The "Bolt Thrower" ?

Could you explain your role?

I assume it is like a Lightning Rod, but...

Im the Lightning Rod.

Then do you want to tell us how you know Donny's role, and what is was?

Did you receive any information?

Re: Godfather/exact role - Yes, he knows exactly what Donny's role was.

I don't see why he needs to be so mysterious about it if it means what I think it means, but ok, I guess it can wait.

Wadda you mean?

His tone irked me. But he's prob town like brain and food :D

I'll leave disclosure up to him. My half of this is basically done. I'm somewhat trying to obfuscate as he's more valuable to town than I am.

There is a jailor.

Not really, since it's obvious to anyone who thinks a certain way, but some cover is better than no cover yeah?

Or am I? ;)))

wifom on, friend-of-my-heart, wifom on!

One possibility I thought of is that Chaqa is 3p, his mode of recruiting is receiving +1, he recruited emc, then emc recruited Donny, who was also giving out some +1's. Now either emc needs to recruit someone else, or the chain was broken.

[foodcoats]

Let's say for now we're not lynching chaqa or emc.

Who do we gank?
