Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
*Just checked again, as of now QuickTopic is still down/having problems*
Huh, I remember reading it too just didn't mark it down. Reflected below.
As for the Meta read, it just feels like they're engaging more than a new mafia player would. My instinct is that if it's someone's first game plus they're on a mafia team they'll hang back and go with the flow more until wagons started. Meta threw around jokes, sure, but engaged with Snow's accusation of me and Rogan's read on me and gac. It's not the strongest read ever but it's Day 1 so enough for now.
So, when I put my BCH vote down, there was 1 vote for gac3, BCH, Bladescape, and Avatar Vecna (gac's vote for Taffimai came immediately after that). I wasn't going to vote Avatar Vecna (since AV is considered for a Day 1 lynch often) and picked randomly from the others.
As the person in question, I prefer a non-lethal method myself. I'm sure there's a non-lethal method we can use overnight to check/confirm.
Again, this is a biased perspective but I'm not sure how much it'll shine light on other players? I got 4 votes against me but Meta didn't seem committed and AV hasn't said anything about me after the random vote.
AvatarVecna - Mostly jokes and stuff, until saying they have a kill. Even though AV could be bold enough to claim they have killing power as SK, I don't think she is. Though, 3 kills going around at night will be a lot.
Captain Cap - asks about the setup and says there's the implication of SK and Survivor. Does not have strong feelings about wagons.
Snowblaze - Has helped drive discussion. Even if the wagon is on me, she's at least trying to get something going. Town.
Batcathat - Talks a lot in the first two pages, but there's something I don't like about his comment on the ominous powers. The first part: "If the whole "ominous presence" bit is something more than just flavor..." seems weird. Overall seems like a lot of talking but very much hedging bets/not making waves.
Taffimai - Has been engaged in the game, nothing that seems wolfy but not enough for me to confidently read town.
gac3 - I don't like gac3 right now. Just a comment of something that may be wolfy, but doesn't say it.
Book Wombat - Have completely changed my mind from last post. My original impression was that BW was around a lot, but looking back it's mostly jokes/talking about stuff outside the game.
Fext - Apparently helpful in finding the SK, bold statement for Day 1. Would like to see a vote down though.
Moonfly7 - Engaged in discussion of setup, fine for now.
Xihirli - Would like to see more.
BladeScape - Again, I want to see more, especially a vote. But at least gave an opinion on Snow and Rogan.
Elenna - Only a couple posts but engages right away. Town ish lean for now.
Metastachydium - Engages throughout the day, discusses wagons, shares opinions. Town.
Rogan - Seems town to me. Is helping drive discussion and asking lots of questions.
SupaGoof - hasn't shown up yet, but rarely posts on weekends.
TL;DR
Metastachydium, Moonfly7, Fext, Taffimai are new and I wouldn't vote them anyway.
Rogan, Snowblaze have done a lot to push discussion forward. Off chance that Wolf!Snow pushed my wagon to protect a buddy with votes (Rogan, Xihirli, or BCH at the time) but I'd lean Town trying to help (even at my expense).
Elenna has only a couple posts but engages right away, so that's find.
SupaGoof has no posts.
AvatarVecna, Xihirli, Captain Cap will survive through the Day, but would love to know any opinions.
BladeScape gave an opinion on Snow and Rogan, but hasn't put down a vote.
Batcathat, Book Wombat have a deceptive amount of posts. Worried about them.
gac3should come back and tell us what he's thinking.
Also, @Bladescape and @Fext I'd like to see votes from you two, too.
Vote Count:
BladeScape (1): Book Wombat
AvatarVecna (1): Captain Cap
CaoimhinTheCape (4): Metastachydium, AvatarVecna, Snowblaze, Elenna
Rogan (2): Batcathat, Xihirli

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
This immediately felt off to me. This is what I had previously commented on. The wording of "you usually live long, would you mind getting lynched day 1" seems to imply that we should try to lynch off of some kind of fairness and not based on "looking for wolves".
The reason I was hesitant to mention this is two fold. 1. It might just be a stupid reason. Lots of stupid reasons are given in the first round of votes and it probably wasn't meant to be taken seriously. 2. I have to question whether the wording would have stood out if it wasn't me being named in red.
I don't know whats up with the second part with "bat you really want to kill me?" It feels like the statement, "even if I am a wolf, you shouldn't kill me." But idk.
I don't at all remember what the bastard mechanic was.
I'm not sure I support the logic for giving me town points here. Because, yes I did try to avoid calling them out, but if I was a wolf, I probably wouldn't have mentioned it at all. Hard to say for sure. I haven't been a wolf in so so long.
This has already been corrected but i quoted this one to point out that I had voted. So the assertion that I hadn't stands out. Especially since I had so little posts to reference.
Reasons explained above.
This is a major logical fallacy unless I'm completely missing something. "It's better to let people know there is one than to hunt them from relative safety.
So you told us day 1. Yet if I remember right, we will get fluff for kills. So unless the kill is blocked we will know by the start of day 2. How much could we possibly do to hunt them in that amount of time? Meanwhile you presumably could have actually used your powers. I find this to be very SUS logic.
I had the same thought but given my above point, I'm still not convinced they definitively aren't the serial killer.
What?
- - - Updated - - -
Wait a second... What are the odds that two town members would get specific references to the serial killer in their QT? I originally thought AV was just referencing Fext but it seems like they also are confirming the serial killer. This is a genuine confusion. I wasn't in the last UPick. So what are the odds that two townies would get serial killer targeting powers and confirmation and that one of them isn't a serial killer?

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Instead of a Seer and Devil who can scry your alignment/role, their power was "gain access to the target's role QT". So if you had "scried" somebody, you could see what I told them their role/alignment was...and any notes they made for themselves in there...and what their power targeting was...and any QTs that were created involving them.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Morning. My QT appears to be working.
In other news: yeah, Fext is almost certainly a neutral trying to kill the Serial Killer. Would still appreciate confirmation, though. Also, Fext, if you are a neutral, what happens to you if the SK dies before endgame?
Noting for future reference: Elenna/Caoimhin not w/w, but if Caoimhin flips town suspect Elenna (fourth vote could be seen as opportunistic/piggybacking off my fairly weak reasoning).
That being said, I’m not really a massive fan of Caoimhin’s reads list. A good portion of it is kind of IIOA-y and the read on me is just. Caoimhin should know that I’m perfectly capable of “helping drive discussion” as a wolf. Feels like TMI.
Leaving my vote where it is, then, unless a better option presents itself.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Yeah, it is.
But. We can’t just get to a stage of “policy kill AV for existing and not being nightkilled”. Because if we do that, wolves will just leave town!AV alive because they know they’ll be policy-killed down the line, one free mislynch.
...I think I don’t know how to read you. On the one hand, Caoimhin’s point is kind of valid, you’re contributing to discussion and giving thoughts and none of them scream wolf, which for a newbie is generally mildly towny.
But there’s just been these little things from you that keep giving me mild pings, and even though I can attribute them to newbieness or playstyle difference... after a while it starts to add up, and I start wondering, what if it’s because you’re a wolf?
This thing is a good example of my general point, because I can totally see how town would think “AV is a scary wolf, they need to die at some point”. But like, the way it comes across as “I’m going to try and kill AV, but not right now” is setting my radar off. That makes a lot more sense coming from a wolfy mindset of “I’m going to mislynch X today, and then I’m setting myself up to go after Y tomorrow”.
Meh. You can get a pass for now. I think with more flips and information to work with I can turn this confused mess into something a bit more certain.
...maybe.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm just worried about AV. They are too good to trust, that's all.
Also, I might have started the wagon on the Cape, but it's hardly my original joke reason that has folks pile up on him like that.
Yup. What are those "reasons"? Why do you suspect the Wombat? What's this "I had a thought about voting, but then I decided not to" business about? Stuff like that.
I kind of doubt that. What purpose would that serve?Last edited by Metastachydium; 2021-10-17 at 05:16 AM.

Here, let's number them for convenience:
1. Reasons are reasons. Pretty easy.
2. Wombat's posting has been mildly in what I think is wolfish.
3. I had a thought about voting. But then I decided not to.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Bladescape being annoyingly cryptic. Not that unusual for him. I'd like to know what these reasons are but I suspect he's not going to say.
I strongly suspect at least one of them is neutral. That being said, two people with what sounds like specifically anti-SK powers is a lot, given that SK it's already quite a hard role to win with. Probably the SK also has other strong powers (similar to last game when they were immune to all kills except the lynch). Even so, AV did win as SK last game, but that's just because AV's good - I felt like the balance last game was fine, the S!K certainly didn't need two other people countering them. Although AV didn't actually say that their kill only works on the SK. Maybe AV is targetting a larger group of people and their role just happens to specifically mention the SK.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
So I'm new, and I think that means that day one you should take what I say with a grain of salt. But this above post feels very fishy to me. The bit about caoimhin knowing they're "perfectly capable of helping drive a discussion" rubs me the wrong way in ways I can't explain. It's a perfectly reasonable thing to say but it feels almost to vague, a good deflect that isn't gonna be questioned but just feels WAY to artificial to me. I don't have anything concrete though, just a newbies gut feeling, so take that as you will.
Yeah AV and Fext have rocketed up on my suspicion meter. I might change my vote to one of them later.
Also I just want to say: for whatever it's worth, I don't think it's Cao. The reasoning he posted felt like the logic of someone wanting to catch the wolves, or at least solve a mystery. He didn't seem like he was trying to protect himself to me, which honestly he should have been. Either he's got a death-activated power, and/or he's not a wolf or SK and wants to catch them above survival.
Just my two cents on that though.Last edited by moonfly7; 2021-10-17 at 07:53 AM.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
So, I'm not sure what IIOA is so I don't know exactly how to comment on this. When I looked through the thread, I saw a number of people not giving much in the way of explanations. Sure, you could be trying to lead the town as a Wolf but as far as Day 1 goes, I'd prefer to target people who haven't weighed in.
Also...
You say how I describe Meta is "kind of valid", so at least you can see the logic in that part.
Blade, your reasons (for voting Elenna) are not clear and you know that. I looked through your posts and couldn't find any other mention of her.
I do understand what you mean about Book, I'll give you that.
So, I missed your vote because it wasn't all that long and right below mine. At this point you all have played with me enough - you know I'm not intending to mislead with the vote counts, if I miss something it's cause I legitimately didn't see it. Since I thought you weren't voting, you got the callout too.
Gonna unvote gac, now that there's a bit of an explanation (which sounds reasonable).
Book Wombat, I wouldn't say hate but I wish that you would put forward an opinion on someone? Your random vote is on Blade, do you actually want to see blade lynched or is there someone you prefer?
You still having no reads from Day 1 doesn't give us much to judge you on going forward.
Vote Count:
BladeScape (1): Book Wombat

So, I appreciate the defense of me but as it stands I'm going to clearly be lynched. If you have someone else you suspect more, I'd ask that you change your vote to them - both to help me hopefully not die and so that you put pressure on someone you see as suspicious.Avatar by AstralSeal

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
As a matter of fact, I was about to do just that.
Batcathatwas my joke vote before I knew anything, but now I'm seriously questioning Snowblaze I'm sorry that it won't be enough to save you on its own, though.
I will say this: AV is suspicious, lots of p9sts have questioned their SK and kill ability mention. No one is wondering why Snow, AV, and Meta, who I do not have an opinion on but has been flagged by others, are all voting for Cao? Yeah they could just think it's him, but I'm not sure on that. I'm a suspicious man, and paranoid to boot, but that looks like a well hidden conspiracy to me. Especially when you add that the mysterious Blade has voted Elena. I think blade is playing the "photo I am mysterious" game to mess with everyone, but I think that you would only do that if you aren't a wolf. Meaning that he might have a legit reason for voting them, like a power or role he doesn't want to give up.
Added together it isn't much I grant you, but I feel like there are WAY more suspicious people we could be focusing on than Cao. I think that killing them now is gonna take out a town, or at the least a neutral.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Snowblaze's posts feeling vaguely suspicious just means Snowblaze is being Snowblaze. In my experience, there's nothing Snow has said that is out of the ordinary for Town!Snow.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Okay. I have a wagon now. Duly noted.
I quite liked Moonfly's recent posting (even though I disagree with it!) so if there's a wolf voting for me I'd say it's bladescape. I don't particularly have any reasons to wolfread him, though.
(Also, last two town games? I'm fairly sure I've only played with town!you once.)
