Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Yes actually I think you do. How you look is just as important as mechanical benefits and info, I think everybody can agree, you included, that how we appear to the others in this game matters, kinda like politics or marketing. You deliberately making that decision is suspicious because it's a decision that's suspicious. If I'm not mistaken your a veteran of these games, or have at least played before. So you know that sounds suspicious but you said it anyway. For what it's worth I don't think your wolf right now, but I'm questioning the behavior.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I gave a reads list a page ago. I said there were people I suspected (gac, Book, BCH) and voted gac, then Book. I am doing more in this game to go after leads than you. I've show how I'm trying to deal with them: Give answers and take a side, or you get voted.
Captain Cap, you're leaving your random vote out and only passively saying my lynch would help. You've given no indication as to what you think of other players and do not care between my lynch and Snow. You're not committing to anything and no matter who gets lynched today, we don't learn anything about you. Take a side, or get voted.
Vote Count:
BladeScape (1): Book Wombat

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Funnily enough, except when I've been a wolf (for obvious reasons) I've never cared much about how I would appear: in fact I've spent many games on the razor edge of the lynching, but I've also been lynched relatively few times (just one, if I recall correctly).
But given there are already two players encouraging me to take a stance, before the day ends I'll read once again all the relevant posts and decide where to put my final vote.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
You are right you can't trust Xi. But I think, it was an at least party honest try to help you. Many players here know each other and the way the others are playing. As a new guy, you are missing this background info.
Giving you this insight CAN be meant to deceive you, but it has to be very close to the truth. Otherwise, someone would call the lie.
Your theory is possible. It seems unlikely two players possessing powers targeting the SK specifically. But impossible, but unlikely.
I could see another way, but I will keep quiet about this until it becomes relevant. It's speculation without mech backup anyway.
If your theory is correct, things might sort themselves out tonight, so that's another reason not to vote there.
I Agree there is not that much going for your kill. I agree about the conclusions your flip would yield. In fact, I said something similar myself. But 8 players not commenting mean about half the players are commenting.
I would love a good alternate, yielding even more info or having a better chance of hitting scum. Or at least more people really committing to a read on you. But I am not a Lvl20 wizard. I can't cast wish.
Your explanation about the read list is nice to have. I don't 100% agree about snow, but I can see your point. I also doubt you are allies, so putting her as Town makes me think this is an honest read.
An ideal mafia player definitely could have handled the original list better, but nobody is perfect.
You remain a Town lean for me and I would rather lynch someone else.
I also acknowledge that there are few real alternatives. Snow is possible. Anybody else?Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Fair enough then. Although as I told Xi earlier, I have to take every "I do *blank*" assertion with a grain of salt, even if I think your telling the truth.
I don't have a better than Snow, and while Cap is mildly dubious I don't think he's a wolf. AV and Fext are dangers but I agree we leave them be for now.
As for background info, I really appreciate it and understand the intent, but caution dictates that until proven otherwise, it's in my best interest to assume everyone is lying, even if only partially. That being said it is good to have, but I can't trust it or base a vote on it.
Also I think previous game behavior is just a bad indicator in general, in my experience changing how you act and react is very easy in a text form, it lets people be much better actors and shift behavior wildly in ways they couldn't IRL.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I count at least two as multiple. And I think your posts are meant to be non-committed regarding the number and kind of powers you have.
And sorry, but it's this gibberish supposed to mean something? I don't want to try to Crack a code (which might be forbidden by forum rules anyway, as you know perfectly well).
I am not going to quote everything about you, Cap. Cap. But I want you to know I think your behavior is not very helpful right now. I might be willing to change my vote to you if you are getting closer to an actual valid lynch target, but right now I want to keep it at a pace that matters.Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
That's wise.
In the end I'll go with Snowblaze. Between Cao and her she's been the most aggressive one with the first real lynching push, at the same time without a strong case at her side. Moreover, the fact Cao resisted relatively well to the pressure and read Snowblaze as town, basically renouncing at the possibility of getting on Snow's wagon without raising suspicions and thus decreasing his survival chances, would make a decent case for towniness, better than the ones for Snowblaze in my opinion.
Of course, the fact Cao has the really good habit to keep track of the votes has absolutely no weight in my decision.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
"Multiple powers, at least two killing" implies that I said I have non-kill powers, which I didn't.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I've been postponing making a new vote all day, hoping something would make it easier, but it seems unlikely at this point. There are some things speaking against both Snow and Cao, it's all rather vague but I suppose that's to be expected D1. Out of the two, I feel like Snow is pushing the discussion in a more constructive way, while CaoimhinTheCape's words seem more fluff than substance (yes, I realize that's kinda hypocritical coming from me).

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I see it can be interpreted this way. It was not meant to imply you said something like that.
You can read it as "I, Rogan, think it's possible you have more than two powers. If this is true, I assume there will be non-kill powers as well (since having many different kill powers would be strange. Unless you have the kill power of "Kill the player by getting the role name right. Here is the list of player powers").
I have no specific info one way or another.Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm thinking that now Cap he voted Cao's vote is likely changing. But right now if none of the off-wagon voters change its gonna be close between Cao and Snow. So I'll say it now: if cao goes and is town, we need to double back and hit Snow. Unless snow gets knifed tonight, or an unforeseen circumstance occurs.
Edit: yeah it's odd that the Cao vote came so soon, could be a coincidence but I agree with Cap that it's strange. Although I doubt Cao will do a self preservation vote, he seems certain that Snow is innocent, which I disagree with but I think he'll stick to his guns.Last edited by moonfly7; 2021-10-17 at 11:20 AM.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
If he's town, he would have to decide (from his point of view) between saving a 100% town and a >50% town. In absence of claims, a self-preservation vote would seem the most logical option.
EDIT: Of course, it would be the most logical option also in a wolf!Cao scenario.Last edited by Captain Cap; 2021-10-17 at 11:27 AM.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Thing is, you're reading AV and Rogan as suspicious no matter which way I flip and Xi only gives info if I flip scum. You don't get into on 10, maybe 11 players. Which to me isn't worth ignoring the list of people hanging around and leaving random votes out.
So, as a counterpoint, I will do a self-preservation vote if it comes down to it. I have a town read of Snow but between her and me, I know my alignment. Unfortunately, with the tie rules, I think it doesn't matter since I would have gotten to 5 first. I'd still prefer another wagon but I'll move to Snow if it'll save me.
That said, I need to take a break from my computer. I'm glad that Captain Cap made a decision and would like Book Wombat, Xihirli, Taffimai, gac, and Fext to pick a side or propose something else.
Personally, I feel like Book Wombat or Xihirli is a good option since they've posted a bit but stayed completely away from both me and Snow. I also don't like BCH's vote against me just as the wagons tied, so BCH is an option too.
Thing is, Rogan will not vote Xi and apparently no one else thinks it's worth it to vote people who have a large number of posts but haven't contributed much. I've been trying to vote for others but no one seems to want to vote with me.
Gonna unvote and step away for a bit, will hopefully be back in an hour or two to place it somewhere.
For new players, I always make Vote Counts to keep track of things. I do this as Town and Scum so it shouldn't indicate much, I just want to keep track of what's going on and if I don't have it in front of me I'll keep forgetting.
Vote Count:
BladeScape (1): Book Wombat
CaoimhinTheCape (5): Metastachydium, AvatarVecna, Snowblaze, Elenna, Batcathat

This is the number of posts each player had. I am a bit surprised about Caos position on this list. I thought he had more posts. After all, he is the top wagon.
Pleasantly surprised by Meta. Activity level alone is not telling much and I probably should reread his posts before I make such a statement, but I get a good, townie feeling here.
Slightly surprised about AV, but I expect some more activity from her later, when there is more material for ISOs. I think she even telegraphed she would be less active this match, since last game took much time and energy to fool Mr Popo. So it's notable, but not alignment indicative.
Supagoof didn't check in yet. He is rarely online on the weekends, so no reason to worry yet.
But I would like to know:
Unavenger how are you going to handle inactivity? Emmy was ready as backup, will you call her? When?Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I've been staying away from the wagons because of my limited ability to read people. I will try to be more active tomorrow (assuming I survive) since I have holidays.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Spoiler: Xihirli ISO
Joke vote, NAI.
Defending her joke vote. Minimal wolf lean.
An indirect promise for more activity. NAI on its own.
This could be a hint that Xi has a night kill. A personal night kill is either town or the serial killer. I can't see mafia with an extra kill.
It could also be a way to fish for more info about the powers of other players.
Snow meta / defense. If Snow flips scum, it might warrant another look. NAI otherwise.
There is not much to go by. No big posts, nothing fancy.
I request clarification about the kill power
I don't like the fact that Xi is so quiet, not changing her joke vote to something more substantial or answering the question about the kill power thing. (I am reasonably sure this was asked by at least one person other than me)
A slight scum lean.
Spoiler: Meta-readBut this is Xi, it probably means she is town...
Spoiler: gac3 ISO
Weak reason to vote a new (?) Player, so it's unlikely to stick. Worst case, that's a distancing move, but this should not be relevant until one of them flip scum. Till than NAI.
A very subtle attack on me. At first, I was willing to give some town points, now I could see it as a scum move. I don't have the necessary distance so judge.
IRL reasons for being quiet. NAI.
I hope you are not seriously sick / will be fine again soon.
One big catch up post. I already replied to it in some details, so I will keep it short here.
There is some self defense and some weak attacks. No opinion about the Cao wagon. No new vote.
There is one big post to work with and some small. Right now, I have a small wolf lean. But I don't trust myself here, since a somewhat significant part is about me.
I hope we can get some more posts here.
I request an opinion about Cao and Snow.
If enough people feel like gac is suspicious, I would be willing to go there. Him being quiet means there won't be much info by flipping him, but if there is a shift in votes to make this lynch possible, it could be telling in itself.Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Yeah, I brought up Xihirli's night kill comment too (more specifically, I reiterated your question to hammer home the point that there's a general interest of sorts in the answer).
As for gac, there's what? Two hours remaining? I'm not sure we could lynch 'em if we wanted to.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
I agree it's unlikely. But that's why I think a shift of votes there would be telling in itself. On the other hand, some people are not happy about the snow wagon, other people are unhappy about Cao. Some don't like both wagons and many don't care one way or the other. So presenting an alternative might pay off.
What do you think about my read on gac?Spoiler: I'm a seer

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
You know, looking back, I do think it off that when I challenged Cap and told him that appearances mattered he almost did a 180 and started being heavier on the snow wagon. I know Cao and I were telling him to vote, but it's not like just voting is the same as suddenly being more cooperative and picking a side.
Probably nothing but I think it would be remiss not to mention it.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Like you said, we don't have much to work with. The only weird thing about his not-even-accusing-you-of-anything is that they brought it up in the first place, but I'm inclined to write it off as a harmless sort of weird.
As for the rest, their confusion regarding AV and Fext is valid stuff, but then, if both are neutrals or whatever, a dog has no reason not to draw attention to them, so it doesn't tell us much. The restÂ… It's mostly nothing.

Re: Upick 2: Electric Boogaloo
Everything I say is going to be obsolete by the time I actually get to post it. Oh well.
At the risk of kicking in an open door: this game has a clearly-defined tie-breaker, which means there functionally is no tie. Rogan was going to be lynched until Snow became the third vote on Caoimhin (and then he repaid her by starting the snow-mobile).
I was in total agreement with this until I reread all posts for today (which were way too many and my family is annoyed with me now for how much of my time it took). Neither Caoimhin nor Snow looked suspicious to me, and there were a few who had, so I was going to vote for a third. Moreover, I feel very bad that Caoimhin would get lynched Day 1 two Upicks in a row as an innocent, I'd be super upset over that. However:
Caoimhin, this claim is pertinently untrue. You've been throwing your votes around willy-nilly all day, always just to get a response out of people, never for anyone who had 2 or more votes already, and always removing them quickly after so there really wasn't any chance for the players who were coming after (like myself) to create a third wagon. At this point I'm feeling the lady protests too much. You may be town, but I think it'll be better to pick a side rather than to stay with my joke vote.78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.
