Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo

[bladescape]

You might be, but I don't speak the language this book is written. But maybe I can learn this language...
I noticed you ask many questions. Why?
Do you have any reads? Any people you don't want to die for other reasons?
And all the questions asked by Meta.

Meta's questions were answered.

I ask questions because questions provide answers and discussion and those are the tools town use to win the game.

I have said 3 or 4 reads so far. No one is getting a "Don't die" certificate unless I townread them, though.

I mean, just before my wagon happened I was thinking "gamestate feels kind of stagnant, maybe wolves don't care that Caoimhin is likely to die".

Then the gamestate stopped being stagnant.

There's definitely a world where bladescape is trying to save his buddy Caoimhin, but that way lies confbias and paranoia.

I'll ISO Caoimhin, see where that gets me.

Spoiler: CaoimhinTheCape ISO

I've already explained my thoughts on the initial BCH vote (speaking of BCH, they seem a bit quieter than usual. Any particular reason?)

The reasons for voting BCH are understandable. Not so much a fan of "isn't putting out a random vote the townie thing to do?" especially since iirc Rogan was randomly voting at the time, and just wasn't ready to seriously vote Cao.

The early reads are fine, so is pressuring bladescape for a vote.

I get the "I don't see how it would shine light on other players" thing. That's definitely a thought processes I've had as town.

I already mentioned my issues with the reads list, but another thing I kind of feel is that there's a lot of reads that don't say very much and then the tl;dr kind of just repeats a lot of what was there. Yes, there are a lot of people who haven't done very much AI stuff yet, but in that case why make a full reads list?

*shrug* I'm allowed to agree with someone on some points and still think they're a wolf.

Also there's been a bit of a theme of poking people for content rather than actually having and voting wolfreads. Which I'm not too much a fan of, it suggests a wolf struggling to find a plausible push.

tl;dr I'm okay with my Caoimhin vote rn, I feel like they have a decent chance of flipping wolf.

Got to go. Will hopefully be able to at least check in before EOD. Please don't lynch me ;)

I mean I started the wagon on you because the gamestate was stagnant so =P

- - - Updated - - -

Yes, I am. The defense he put up was a bit lackluster, and more importantly, I have no clear enough wolfreads to start moving my vote around. I don't like what bladescape is doing, but if it's not some harmless trolling… Well, it would be a really bold move, audacious, even, to make his posts stink that bad if he was with the dogs. As for Snow, she's being more useful than Caoimhin right now, so I'm in no hurry to kill them.

It has honestly been a whlie since I've got a TWTBAW read.

Not my diagnosis.

Too wolfy to be a wolf? At any rate, you are welcome.

[moonfly7]

(Do also note that there might be a vote manipulator lurking in one of the wagons and subsequently the tie wasn't necessarily going to resolve as expected.)



Codes are illegal and that came up in the thread before. It might just be roleplaying.

A vote manipulator is a terrifying thought.

I was suspicious because of AV's claim. I wasn't sure why two anti serial killers existed and why both would claim so close to each other. If one was lying, I was leaning towards Fext. But AV's details that came out later made supported Text's claimed role.

I don't think both are anti still, I'm still gunning for one of them to be SK, but either way they can't be the concern today, but maybe next time if they become more of a problem.

[bladescape]

Blades, my gut says you are not a wolf. My brain is saying you are deliberately unhelpful. I hope this will change tomorrow.

I'm being casual and having fun this game.

Which means I'm not going to elaborate on my D1 reads unless I think it's worth elaborating on.

I do find it funny that people still propped up the wagon I started.

[Unavenger]

DAY 1 END

Please wait for the votes to be counted.

Not answered to your satisfaction, but answered. =P

And yes, that's what the acronym means.

CaoimhinTheCape recieved 7 votes.

Rogan recieved 1 vote.
2 players refused to participate in the corrupt institution of democracy.

CaoimhinTheCape died today. He was executed. CaoimhinTheCape's role was Cecil Palmer.

CaoimhinTheCape, you are Cecil Palmer, a REPORTER and a member of the MAFIA. You win the game if you kill every hostile character or nothing can prevent this from happening, and at least one member of your team is alive.

You have TWO abilities.

And Now, The Weather (Kill Priority): Once per NIGHT, if no other member of the MAFIA uses their kill ability, you may choose a living player: they die. They are reported as having been killed by a sandstorm.

Smooth, Sonorous Voice (Slow Priority): Once per NIGHT, you may choose a message. That message is announced the next DAWN in the following format:

“The local radio station flares to life, and crackles out some news: [Message]”

You may put anything in the message you like so long as it obeys forum rules and is of a reasonable length (nothing that threatens the character limit of the post, please). Additionally, if you are role blocked and you attempted to activate the ability, the following is posted publicly at DAWN:

“The local radio station flares to life, then crackles out. It looks like they’re having some technical problems”.

NIGHT 1 START

This phase will end on 19/10/2021 at 21:00 GMT.

[Book Wombat]

A reporter? Reminds me of... well.. me.

[gac3]

Welp... I feel like unless snow is also somehow a wolf, both them and Book are town. Or at least not wolves. I feel as though this makes me look worse though. Hmmm...

[Elenna]

Is anyone else still having issues with their QT? I still can't post in mine. I've tried clearing cookies for quicktopic.com and refreshing the page.

[moonfly7]

Well, that looks really really bad for me, and now I'm second guessing every single judgment I've made. Apologies, Snow. Although I know his guilt doesn't absolve you, I was way of on that one.

Edit:

Anybody know how nights work? No real explanation in the rules. I'm assuming we do role things via Quicktopic?

It works for me

[bladescape]

There is a decent chance at least 1 wolf voted for Cao.

Snow is town.

Taff is town.

Rogan was town but is now demoted to townish.

Captain Cap is probably town? Or a planned bus. But probably town.

I have to check when all the votes exactly came in.

Yeah. I haven't read the rules but if you have a night power, put it in your QT.

Also... Small town points for that question.

[Rogan]

Okay, good job Snowblaze. Very good job.
I think I can lock you down as town now.

Note to self: Check everyone mentioning the victory condition. (Yes, this includes me)
Check the way the votes moved.
Think about the kill power.

Role things via QT.

If your QT doesn't work I imagine Unavenger will let you PM them.

If snow is town, I'd say this makes Book town.

[moonfly7]

Wait a second, if, if Cao was Mafia it gives new meaning to why he was consistantly saying he thought that Snow was town. Why on earth would he do that if Snow wasn't an ally? Unless he saw the writing on the wall and was setting us up for an execution....Goodness I don't know what to believe anymore.

[bladescape]

Let's hold a special event tonight.

Related to my powers, who does town think the next wolf is?

Please vote for who you think wolves are with BOLD and Purple.

Like This.

Also please vote for 2 people each, not one.

[moonfly7]

I have no Idea who I think is a wolf. Bladescape was suspiscious but he did start the Cao thing, though it was a joke at the beggining so I dont think he is. I'm definitley a suspect, I fought hard the whole time for Cao to be spared and went hard against Snow who pioneered the out if I'm not mistaken.

I think rogan is probably town but clearly my judgment is not solid.

- - - Updated - - -

Gac3 was more or less pushed by myself and Cao to make a descision, and went with Snow, so I would hesitate to lable them as wolf but I can't say town either.

[Book Wombat]

Wisdom of the crowd? Hmm, going to maybe skim through the thread, will see then.

[Rogan]

Mine works. Did you check other QTs of older games?

Don't stress this too much. Mistakes happen.

You can talk here as much as you like. But It's usually a bad idea to talk to much at night.
Your role interactions happen in the QT. You say what you want to do and can change this till the end of the night. Every role will resolve and, depending on your power, you might get feedback. For specific questions about your power, ask Unavenger in your QT. They will answer when/if they can.

Alright, got it. Thank you.

[Unavenger]

A few notes:

• If, and only if, you are certain you can't use your QuickTopic, you may PM me your intended power targeting and any questions you may have.
• I futzed something up (because what would be a game run by me without me messing up a few times?) and accidentally included two roles of types which I said in the OP I wouldn't; one has been hotfixed so it shouldn't matter from here on, and the other hasn't because what I'm intending doesn't work properly if I do. This should largely only affect the people with the actual powers in question, who should both know who they are, so don't worry that you're dealing with incorrect death flips or anything like that.
• You'll notice the day is 47 hours, which shouldn't make much of a difference but don't get caught out by it.

Do both votes need to be in the same post? I have one player in mind to be checked, but I don't know about the second.

This is entirely arbitrary by me so I will accept in different posts.

Note: The bolding/picking players has nothing to do with my power.

I'm just having fun by seeing what town would like me to do.

[Elenna]

Good point. I checked an older QT and I could post there.
Unavenger, I'm curious, are you able to post in my personal QT? Alternatively, could you maybe just send me a new QT? Sorry.

Xi in this case.

I don't really like this, I get the temptation to use people's opinions to target if you have an investigative-type power, but it feels a bit like a wolf fishing for information to see who would be a good kill target. Same reason we generally avoid talking at night.

[bladescape]

I think the avoiding talking at night thing is mostly over-blown tbh.

Wolves, as a whole, often have a good idea of the consensus of thread prior to night.

I will also add that in other communities, banning talking at night tended to make the game slightly more wolf-sided. Which suggests talking at night to be a town advantage.

I can tell you right now that if I was wolf I would 100% be killing Snow or if I was going to dodge potential protectives it would be ... probably Taff? Got a few options for second kill option actually.
