New XKCD Forums

I want to reiterate, I had a LOT of fun this game.

@Seven, Adum and Cemetables, thank you so much for the work you put into the game. The flavor was incredibly detailed and rich, the fakeouts were heart-wrenching, and the mechanical design was very well done. I like how you made the roles both less powerful than most standard roles and also more int...

Mak - You played a good game, solid townie behavior and good energy and scum hunting. I think you were totally fine on theBubblez thing. You didn't do anything unreasonable and pressuring people with exaggerated suspicion is a completely ligit and standard practice. EGW - You basically town so hard ...

Tales Very excited to play again. :P Vote: Boomfrog Obviously he's never going to trust me ever again after PYP, so let's just get him out now and avoid the clash altogether. Lol, nah. In retrospect you were obviously scum once you voted for me. I was just so frasseled by RL stuff and seven's stubb...

Zestiria: @BF (avoiding pings): I apologize for my tunnel whether you're scum or not. Unfortunately what you said about having too few scum-candidates is exactly true from my pov as well, in my mind you simply have to be scum by PoE. I think the head butt protocol is real. We eventually get to a po...

I'm Zestaria or Berseria cop, I learn which game the target's character is from. Oh, I thought this was wrong but I reread my PM carefully and you are right. Woomp woomp again. Madge's claim was impossible. Incorrect actually. I can't say if Maotelus was in the game what his LOC and Shepard alignme...

Caught up. Cool. Fun gambit.

No

Ahh, just looked back a few posts. I'll try and catch up today or tomorrow and weigh in before hammering.

This is turned out to be more of a vacation from internet than I realized. No cell reception at our camp sites so far. I haven't read up yet, but if we are yeeting phillip or EGW I'm comfortable following Sabrar. If it's anyone else than I need an extension.

Where did this observation come from?

That heury can only chat with bessie at night. Although counter point, my traffic analyser wording implies all the time chat.

I haven't read anything toDay but wanted to pop in to report my action failed.

Spoiler (Show/Hide)

Sorry Santy, skill issue. I'm town.

It was a pleasure working with you though. We'll get this.

And yeah , the clear is based on (1) the pureness and transparent approach unlikely to come from scum and (2) assuming Bop knows that he is in a very good position thread-wise, and is pretty safe to keep repping the townread on phillip cause only EGW was actively pushing there for it to be much nee...

Yes, but very few that I know of.

For the official record:

Vote phillip1882

He's ignored every attempt I've made to engage him in conversation and seems like newbie scum hoping to not rock the boat. Newbie town would be trying to respond, newbie scum is scared.

Sabrar wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2025 7:02 pm @somitomi: you can now hammer if you want.

I'd like to get Santy's opinion on my phillip read before we hammer. @Santy: Assume we get a green check on EGW, and I'm yeeted and flip town. We've got only one yeet left. Phillip or EGW?

Also, something I've been chewing on, aren't arsonist targets usually not informed? I'm concerned why Sabrar hasn't been targeted as he is the one most guaranteed to survive to end game. There's something weird about the mechanic and I'm not sure how many missyeets we really have.

Philip was my third sus and EGW was my first but EGW will be resolved mechanically by night actions. I after reading Santys summery and coming to my own conclusions I now sus Phillip most and EGW 3rd. (Maybe 2nd, hard to say but also irrelevant) My expectation is assuming we don't win the game we wi...

Assuming we don't get a red check from any mech I'd want to flip Phillip tomorrow. @Sabrar what do you think about flipping Phillip today and you RB Santy toNight?

Yeah alright, I admit I skimmed this post aside from my own spoiler. I've read it carefully now. I am cautious about relying on reading Bop since the dude snowed all of us pretty hard, but I agree the EGW frustration is real. I'll note that mafia seem to only have night chat so it's possible a scum ...

I'm not. You are just a low town read. My only scum read is Phillip. I was way off on my scum reads this game so I dialed it back. However I found Santy's energy level townie while being the default elim today. I have not played with Santy before though, so no knowledge of his meta. Why do you susp...

My issue is Frog *why* the "townie scumhunting negated by multiball* ONLY applied to Madge . I dont think your reads shifted much on other slots considering multiball option. You decided apparently to only negate madge positives because of multiball and not other peoples? Idk what to say man. ...

Are you convinced that I am scum? Do you think Santy is incapable of this energy level as scum? I'm not. You are just a low town read. My only scum read is Phillip. I was way off on my scum reads this game so I dialed it back. However I found Santy's energy level townie while being the default elim...

D1 read SoD2 read EoD read Sabrar, you might've cooked with this line of questioning. This progression is indeed very weird lol What changed is that I considered multiball more and more as D2 went on and I'd been chewing on all my reads since we had so many town reads. The whole vibe of the game fe...
