I see, hammer makes sense then. I’ll hold for now, but once the push happens, I’ll hop on.

hammers require a majority of players.

pirate I have some questions if you wouldnt mind sticking around a bit. I havent gotten to talk to you alot.
Shoot. I’m in class rn so it’ll be on and off, but I’ll try to get to all questions :).
What do you think of your first game so far?


Are there any strategy concepts you are struggling with?


What do you think of the people who have been really nice to you so far? (who do you feel has been really nice and welcoming to you?)


Who do you trust so far?
I like this first game, quite interesting! A good way to take my mind off things, just read through the messages and speculate. A tough first game though, I will say.

Strategy wise, I think things such as tells and normal behaviors take experience which I lack. I’m trying to learn though. I feel I understand the basic ideas and strategies, at least for sussing people out, mostly from among us lobbies. How to effectively use roles is harder, as is deciding on targets (to go with my gut and investigate whoever, or to confirm already suspected people?), especially with a potential kill waiting at every scan (judge fear).

Being nice: having thought about it really. I feel everyone here’s been pretty nice and willing to help out. No one is being mean at least. I will say that the high posters feel nicer in general, and I appreciate how some have come to my defense (sweet, Balki come to mind) though I feel I don’t always need it.

Who do I trust: in a word, nobody. I believe my newness has been able to lend me a different perspective. I didn’t have any preconceived biases coming in, though undoubtedly have evolved some throughout this game. I try to ignore these and look at the facts as much as I can. If I had to take a jump, I’d be more likely to trust a high poster over a low one though.

how realistic do you think it is that chaqa will become a runaway wagon today, with a cop claimed guilty on someone.

what does balki have to do with chaqa here also?

Weekend and wrasslin is over. It's Monday and that sucks.

Also, why haven't we hammered the guilty? This is basic mafia. Hammer the guilty, and you flip the claim if they're lying.

##Vote Dip
##End
Read the setup.
It's dayphase. Stop being fuggin cryptic.

You can't be talking about the Angel killing role thing. The three voted wagons at the guilty scan, the claimed cop. and one other. That would be top 10 worst mafia plays.

I love the lore lmao. Baidu is ngl kinda chill though. But we need a duck duck go bot 100%, trust. Duck duck go bot solos all of fiction no diff (power scaling joke).

I have meetings galore today, but there is no harm in hammering as far as I can tell.

just to play contrarian to what damo is saying, weve seen games where town hammers too many times and that leads to night phases where people are disinclined to talk at all because it isnt compulsory, and that is effectively the same if not worse than stagnated days
The big risk here is the feeling that Dip’s flip contributes directly to ND’s alignment and could result in a hammer cascade that concludes town’s ability to win.

should we be concerned about hammering with this Balki Bartokomous (2)
snowy801 foodcoats

still in action?

not sure what we can really do about it either way
##UNVOTE

I believe the rules state we can’t be penalized to unvotes when the hammer is in effect.

We won't hammer before T-25 I hope.

@snowy and @food the Diphammer is inevitable. Please move off Balki jic he is MMA. Assuming Dip flps scum we can get Balki tomorrow.
I don’t think it should be so inevitable. Anyone who is hammering is Dip is agreeing to turn town’s game on this decision.

ND could be addicted cop or Pa Angel’d and both D&W and ND are town. If we miskill both town has essentially lost.

Also, because there is a “shadow game” between the two evil factions, there is possibly information that is unknown to town but known to the scum in various ways. This means we can’t fully parse ND’s motivations if he is scum.

No one has wondered why ND claimed at day start, for example, which is universally considered poor cop play even in a vanilla game.

I think the voices who are most sure of killing Dip immediately are extremely suspect (damo, Balki, maybe some others I haven’t noticed as clearly).

Consider also that the Angels may have IDd Judge Death by RBing him N1. This would allow angelic!ND to pose as a cop. If D&W flips scum ND may still be an angel.

Everyone should slow down. Smoke a fat blunt and drink four fingers of bourbon or whatever you need to do. Stop and think about the game possibilities. Stare at the oncoming eclipse without protection and in blindness see the things your mundane eyes cannot.

You're being an alarmist. It's 9-4-3 in a game without assured NKs. It's not like the scumteams can massclaim on us tomorrow.

If there are concerns that ND is a poisoned Angel (I don"t, but I think I saw some) I would think Kaka and Dip's vote is a greater concern, no?

Even if Dip thinks ND is scum for obvious reasons he shouldn't be voting him

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable! It was an off colour joke.

How about... "Summon your spectral steed to reach new heights!" :-D
