Happy to discuss mechanics.

As long as people are never pressured to make Gojoe posts so that they can be held accountable later (similar to why cryptography is banned), I see no issue for a player quoting in-thread a post he made there earlier as it can never be verified whether it was a true post or not. So essentially I thi...

For Miller specifically that is probably still the best strategy, I meant it more in general.

Rambling shoutouts/notes/lessons to take away: - after all these years I finally understand the difference between wam's town- and scum-meta, and it turns out to be the one game where he intentionally mixes it up. F me. - somewhat similar situation regarding Madge, I think she did a brilliant impers...

Getting caught on private clarification pms stung. Sorry Bop. I generally don't do public mod-questions, partly because I have a ton of those and it would clutter the thread, but also because in my mind the ideal mod is invisible. They are there to provide vote-counts, flips and general status upda...

-Make Jailkeeper unable to target same player consecutively

I think that should be a standard for any RB or Doc-related ability.

That's a relief, thanks all for the game!

Understood. In that case I have no objection to anyone hammering, though ideally it should be Boomfrog so he can share his thoughts if he wants to.

Vote: EGW

I would like EGW to do his best Santy-impression and provide us with his legacy reads.

One more thing. Nobody besides phillip is claiming to be marked. If phillip is actually the last scum then that means that actually noone is marked and we are extremely unlikely to suddenly lose more than 1 townie during the night. Therefore we don't need to prioritize yeeting phillip today.

Where did this observation come from?

You are all just a fountain of information. I jailed Boomfrog instead of phillip. These were my N2 notes: I've looked at Santy's reads carefully, here are my quick thoughts: ahippo/phillip: I don't buy that the early questions and follow-up strong defence has got to be whiteknighting and cannot come...

Are you marked?

Did you get a night-result?

With somitomi being dead we should just claim.

I am not marked.

That complicates things. Guessing/hoping that was a 1-shot ability.

When is Boomfrog expected to be back?

I'm okay with waiting for Santy's reply.

If it comes to D5 I would like Boomfrog and EGW to claim first, whenever they come online. We should not wait for phillip as he has nothing to claim as either alignment.

@somitomi: you can now hammer if you want.

There's something weird about the mechanic and I'm not sure how many missyeets we really have. Yeah, I've been pondering the same since here . Although I think informing the target is done for balance reasons, so Town gets to be aware sooner of the multiball nature of the setup (as we saw it is eas...

@Boomfrog: if you sus EGW and Santy primarily and would only flip phillip in case of no red checks, why would you want to flip him first without waiting on cop results?

Zestiria

Spoiler (Show/Hide)

If game continues after Santy's yeet I will do something completely illegal by deviating from my own plan.

Santy is the biggest unknown for me and I cannot really focus on the others until I see his flip. I also don't want to commit 2 days in advance.

@phillip: thank you!

There is nothing I can add right now to the discussion, I'll reread during the night if it comes to that. I hope phillip will show up to vote Santy, at which point Boomfrog can hammer early if he wants to (I would like somi to hold off voting for now). Plan is still here, please don't deviate.

Santy is townier than Phillip, and would be more beneficial to the game due his desire to solve. You could substitute any name there instead of Santy and it would be true. Doesn't mean that we automatically need to get rid of phillip, just look at how the Fred-yeet came about. That's why you take m...

Did you confirm? Can you still use your ability?
