  • Okay, so 10 town and 4 scum mean we have at roughly 3 day and night phases to sort our shit out. With some next-level defending (and boatloads of luck), we have 6. If scum have any vigilante slots, we're in serious trouble, and if we have any vigs of our own, they're going to have to be damn careful they don't do scum's work for them.

    Also, there is the non-game ending unaligned who will probably work with WW during day phase so we need to be extra careful.
    Pardon my ignorance, but why would they work with the werewolves during the day? Wouldn’t  they want to work with town so that they are lynched?
    Sorry, my Town of Salem instincts were kicking in. If the non-aligned reaches their goal, it can cause chaos for town, helping ww, but the non-aligned can't secretly talk to ww, so never mind that

  • I can understand the concern for “button pressing madness”, but with a role ratio of 11:4:1, I am convinced the button mechanics are what will allow the town to gain useful abilities.
    What do you mean by 11:4:1? Is this the alignment distribution? Is there someone on a third team?
    I think button mechanics are usually beneficial to town (at least they were last game).

    However I don't know what Ruguo has changed this run.
    I mean, last time I was Doctor and literally all three of my light effects were garbage. (Hence my heavy hesitation to press back then.)
    ^ Pretty much, I was a vanilla townie with abilities that can only be unlocked with the pressing of buttons in the previous game
    Hmm, a possible theory is that power roles get nerfed and vanilla roles get boosted?

    Yep, it’s stated on the OP that there’s 1 non-game ending unaligned player.

    Push Button, Vote: Hapi
    She apparently always does this. Not great. :P

    Wait, so no Minish, funnier, lil G, or ExLight? That's...a shame.
    I don't think any of them were notified :(

    There is an unaligned player here, for extra madness I suppose. What Sapph said.



    That said, I'm most suspicious of (and voting for) Laurentus, for past-game reasons and math reasons. (I don't think Lau is aware that we can lynch wolves during the day and power town roles can block during the night. Jumping straight to the worst-case scenario isn't helpful and leans towards benefitting the wolves.)

    Though Hapi isn't helping. :o

    It might just be that I just woke up, but I can't make heads or tails of this vote. If I end up getting lynched for this, please do me the kindness of brutally murdering Barnes.

    I have laid out both scenarios, worst and good. Bad is simply more likely.

  • Also, literally my second post said that next level defending gets us at most 6 day phases. Considering we have 4 scum to hunt, we have to manage to find scum basically every day phase, and sure that will give us some breathing room every time we find one, but make no mistake, the odds are stacked against us. Not contemplating that is sure to bite us in the ass.

  • This is such a weird push.

    You realise we are in a new game? Why does anything that happened in the previous game have bearing on your vote?

    Also, "math reasons" literally say that we have 3 days of mislynches. Your assertion that I don't know we have town power roles is disproven by literally my second post, where I said we could up the number to 6 days of mislynches with good defender play.

    Are you deliberately ignoring the facts here?

  • You're mislynching right now. I'd say it's a rational assumption.

  • Also, "math" says we have a 4/16 chance of lynching scum.

    1/4 odds mean we are likely not to lynch scum today, or in the coming 3 days in the worst case scenario.

    That's not to inspire fear, but to place in perspective that we're in trouble and need to play a damn smart game here, thoroughly engaging everyone and seeing the way they reason about things in order to find who has the scummiest motivation.

    I'm really not hurting anything either though right?

    Like there's nothing that's going to happen day 1. Lynches day 1 are always going to be a shot in the dark and no turret is going to come out screaming "hey guys I'm a turret".

    My only course of action today is to joke around and push the button. I don't particularly like D1 votes because they always seem to be based on something other than useful information.

  • HEY GUYS! I'M A TURRET!

    Jokes aside, the button has been pressed.

    All button votes have been reset.

    Anti-Grav Funnel is now in effect.
    Anti-grav funnel: Pushed selected players in its path over toxic waste. If not deactivated by the end of two day phases, all players selected die. The disarmament squad will all receive a puzzle to solve. Only 3/4 puzzles need to be completed correctly to deactivate this effect.

    The disarmament squad will receive their puzzles shortly.

    WARNING: Pushing the button again does NOT deactivate the funnel and all player caught in it WILL go plummeting to their doom.

    While we're here, regular vote count:
    Hapi: 1 (Doc)
    Gerrick: 2 (Laurentus, Barnes)
    Laurentus: 1 (Gerrick)
