I forgot to mention who got the bonus points from last round.

Nobody got the bonus points.  The secret word was "Friction"

To get the points this round, you must say your favorite type of cookie.

I'm a child still

Are you aware that that word has only been said 20 times on the forums in over 8 years? And one of them is your posts? v_v

Also, @eastern_new_england - when you say that your checks aren't 100% accurate, could you be a bit more specific? Are you saying that they may give you a false role result? Like they might tell you that someone who is really King Arthur is Sir Lancelot or something along those lines?

Yeah, it's 80% that it's correct. If not, it's a role that isn't in the game.

Regarding your other post, however, I'm not as concerned about role ability. I'm more concerned about the alignment. I, for one, know that my ability is a bit different from my character, but I share the same alignment with them - town.

Now I do realize that there may be exceptions to the rule, such as Vro being the Scarecrow in a game where the Scarecrow was technically a wolf - but the wolves that game were town. But don't you think it to be more likely that a wolf role will continue to be a wolf role generally?

Safe mode is a 95% bad decision wtf

If I've read the OP correctly, wouldn't doing that result in a player likely returning as a wolf?

Nopeity nope trusttttttt me

"If multiple players are revived, one of them will be revived in a different alignment."

Thus far we've lost two town players and one third-party player. Maybe we'd be lucky and the third-party player would return as town, but it seems more likely that one of the revived players would be a wolf.

Have I misunderstood the mechanic?

You know, you bring up a lapse in my wording I didn't anticipate. Safe mode only affects all players killed the phase it was activated, not all game.

Edit because I can: Can you imagine the chaos if all dead players could just keep coming back and reshuffling like that? I mean, interesting mechanic for a smaller game maybe... but that would be horrifying here.

Is Lau considered to have been killed D3, or N2?

D3. As noted in the player list at the top of your screen.

How so?

Because the ways I see it this gives us a guaranteed town back and maybe fixes the clearly broken game as it exists. Like yanno the fictional game world that is clearly broken.

Also Lau getting killed D3 is weird
does anyone want to claim that? it seems busted for a scum role

I wonder if they tried to kill him last night but got blocked too?

I would be surprised if they didn't go for Lau - a Defender will generally be unprotected and thus a good hit.

I'm leaning that it was a scum day-vig, however I'm open to the possibility of a solo like SK.

Also in hindsight the KoD wagon yesterday was too stagnant, hopefully there'll be a bit more vote movement today.


I did some digging, and it's also interesting that your role showed up as a wolf role. Now I know not to trust the flavor too much and I know that my checks aren't 100% accurate, but it makes you think...

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

Not sure what you want to know, I've been trying to explain to yall that the past character alignment isn't related to the current one
Anyone would realize I'd have a reason for that, like, y'know, my own role? Lol.

The issue is that as a wolf it's super easy to say "I've been telling you all game! Flavor doesn't matter - I'm an exception." I dunno, it just feels a bit cheap. Also didn't really like your D1 which is why I checked you to begin with. I may end up ISOing you before the end of the day-phase and see whether I come to a different conclusion.

also your vote didn't work

That wad an obscure one! My favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin.

Oh also flavor does matter and I can prove that too lol

You are all so afraid of game mechanics BUT let me ask you why would a mechanic requiring a majority vote be in a game UNLESS it is a beneficial mechanism for town? Otherwise it would never be voted upon and the game creator wasted quite a bit of time designing something useless right?

ok with new information this honestly doesn't change my opinion on it. I was considering safe mode to have been, as discussed earlier, reviving all killed players (lol) but yeah this is objectively THE worst phase so far to activate safe mode. We have Lau, a dead town, and tbh it'd be really fucked up if we yeeted a mafia for them to be the one to flip alignments and out all of their teammates (assuming they didn't flip 3p, jester specifically). 

If we yeet a town we just have to turbo through at least one if not BOTH of Lau and whoever we yeet again today to. That's a waste of two if not THREE days. If we yeet a mafia, when they revive it's possible that said mafia flips town but frankly that's so screwy and unfair to the mafia faction that I'm dismissing that possibility entirely out of hand bc it's an instawin for us for bad reasons, and there's probably some sort of thing like mafia get to choose who's factionswapped.

if the option comes up I STRONGLY encourage everyone to vote no. 

Bet Lau is sad that I'm screwing him out of a wolf faction swap but yeah

Also assuming phase specifically refers to D3 kills and not D3 and N3 kills (phase vs cycle)

The only downside is if we lynch but we have a no Lynch and that will revive Lau as town because he was the only dead player this phase abs frankly I trust Lau he be smort

I think you fail to actually see my plan
