I don't blame you, I struggle to mod when it's this speed!

JC's questioning made me realize something.

"Loud" isn't the modifier that means "the mod posts it". That means "the target knows they were targeted by the player". "Publishing" means the mod posts it.

I wanna get Seven to confirm their rolename before I explain this.

Also, Madge and Sabrar are really mean, I was trying to pretend my double vote just... Didn't fucking exist because as town it's not useful til mis-elim or lose or elim or lose, not realizing they intended to consider it in the majority. I'm pretty sure I've never seen it being included in the majority requirements before.

I have the most Indy coded role on the planet and because I'm me, people will interpret it that way.

Halloween

As I said, I'm one shot (the wording suggests death, so it's possible I was strongmanned but I don't think so), so will I wake up or not? Who knows?

My townread on Bessie conflicts with my suspicion that the cop was a paranoid scumcop pretending to be insane and part of the killing team, and wanted to kill me so they could clear their partner(s) on later days.

The more I think about it the more it makes sense, especially given how she agreed with Seven talking about how terrifying scum me is.

The problem then is, there's waaaaaay too much clearing power for town. So maybe I was wrong, but it could still be an insane scumcop, searching for otherscum. Probably known insane then, with it being a way to blunt town clearing power.

Wam still needs to be murdered.

eidt: Fuck ya, first scumbag down. I don't think i've ever played with somi where he didn't roll scum. If there's a bus, it's probably Wam out of self-preserve especially with trying to swerve onto Seven after Seven did... a Seven thing. Somi's flip doesn't especially endear me to either multiball single mafia with potential indies. But a "Mafia" flip seems to imply, unless we get a "other mafia". But that seems to imply Wam isn't scum cause I don't think he'd observe me if he murdered me. But maybe he was lying about observing?

I need to let things roll around on my head more though.

Americans and Canadians(do we have any in the game), when are thanksgivings? Are there any other festivals I should avoid scheduling deadlines on or around?

[moody7277]

American Thanksgiving is November 28th, Canadian was in October.

Fourth Thursday in November

I'm gonna say, I'm team "just take the 5 days Madge so you can chillax and not feel pressured" and also "more predictable deadline would be appreciated ".

Anyway, I've been trying to heavily BC to Seven some things, and I hope that paranoid voice in my head isn't right and he isnt Indy. But EoD REALLY reads like town seven running away with a wild clear theory.

Basically I BC'd that I wasn't Doc protected (I didn't figure out a good way to imply "unless I was strongmanned) and my concerns about a about the cop being potentially paranoid scumcop (the paranoid more clearly, but I hope she figured the scumcop from context) that may want to clear their mates.

To clarify further, technically I think I'm one shot death proof rather than simply BP and when I die I revive by having my future self come back and tell me how to avoid it. Oh ya and I'm the double voter. Technically if I was given another power I could use it twice, but kind of doubting it will happen.

Secret knowledge: Opening night went well!

Director isn't giving us as long a Friday morning break as usual, so I'm not going to have enough time to do daystart. I might write up the voteoff flavour if I get into flow - we'll see.

If I post flavour I'll post a timer too.

Congrats! That's awesome!

I'm really second-guessing myself about a lot of things. Sabrar was right that this balance heavily favoured Town, but at the same time, scum had a rough time targeting the bulletproof N1 (in retrospect, I think Sabrar was right - the bulletproof originally had to be activated, I just made it auto-activate if targeted because I didn't think it'd be fun, but instead it meant that you didn't get to make a decision about whether to activate it or not).

I feel especially bad about the publishing cop being the role name rather than a modifier - if I'd had my time again, I would have made the masons' trackers/watchers be "publishing" instead of "loud".

I also think we should have given mafia a power to make things/people silent (maybe put it in the JOATs), we'd originally decided not to do that as you don't want to theme a game around something (loudness) and then have the opportunities to remove it, but this leaves scum very little room to hide (that said, it'd be perfect for my scum play, which I think is also wam's incidentally).

We should probably have gone with one of our very earliest ideas which would have been for scum to pick up some powers for every townie they kill, as a power-up thingy?

The issue was that we had to adjust the setup multiple times during the last few days due to more people signing up, and the timing coincided with me being afk and also getting sick.
We should have maybe delayed the start by like a week but I don't know...

This is gonna get gojoe traffic. Probably. It's definately an audacious play.

My double vote is expiring toNight, moody is the presumptive yeet, I see no movement otherwise so I jumped at the chance to demonstrate my role.

Frankly, double-voting is a barrier to town usually, but it's also a barrier to scum getting endgames.

Plan right now is to attract the NK, make myself look potentially threatening enough that they think mak is right and the self-yeeting was a self-pres play. I'm also trying to obliquly hint that I might be a yeeter targetting somebody in the mafia to make myself seem even more threatening.

And if i fail, I no longer have the double vote (so no longer a barrier to town), I full claim and explain my plan and that is that.

If i'm NK'd I think my reads will be taken more seriously.

Here's hoping moody is scum. Also I'm so mad at not finishing up my explanation for my scumread of Thea. I was trying to talk about how I picked up on that in Halloween last year.

Also, woot moody-scum! That may increase third party suspicions but should at the very least quiet down mafia suspicions. That said if people continue believing scum has good ways to disrupt clears and plans I still think trying to get myself Nk'd is the right call. The paranoia is too high, they'll never believe me in yeet or lose.

And holy crap your nails are amazing Madge!

Mafia might kill the masons tonight, which I think is against their best interests as it looks like people might ME them, and it's two for one if they can get it to go that way....

Plus Thea is stumping for wam hard. Keep Thea and Mak alive and there might be a chance.
