Hilarious shit my bad. Anyway heury is scum for making me laugh again

Oh crums, I didn't notice either, what a nice fail to start the game with

Deadbananas0 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 22, 2025 1:21 pm As mafia, I'd prefer to leave my.options open, and not do anything odd that would draw negative attention early, because people will always think about it when deciding if they trust you enough to vote you. And id kick myself if I started the game voting someone as mafia, and was always to convince someone else I was trustworthy that day and couldn't change my vote.

Paranoia says scum could take refuge in audacity and do something like this precisely because it's "too scummy to be actual scum", but I do see where you were coming from and it's all kinda irrelevant anyway.

I apreciate the bessie impersonation, but that's not the infamous "would I do this as scum". Deadbananas was analysing what you would do as scum

EGW wrote: ↑Tue Apr 22, 2025 3:30 pm Deadbananas: I did, this is why I asked. What does Bessie not being in a game have to do with changing your mind.

Gotcha.

My analysis was based off my pregrame thoughts about voting at the beginning of the game, see my response to somi for those.

Those thoughts were about actually voting for someone who was in the game, since Heury's vote is for someone who wasn't in the game, and presumably doesn't count, that analysis no longer valid and no read can be made.

However it did make me laugh, which last game I played with heury he made me laugh at the beginning and was mafia, and I told him if he made me laugh again I would have to scumread him, so the change is a reference to that. Should've clarified the inside joke.

I know nix my earlier post about developing a brain, still as dumb as ever.

I now realize Bessie isn't in the game. All this time I was expecting Bessie to post this weekend. I was bamboozled.

But they were all of them deceived, for another Bessie was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Heury forged in secret, a master Bessie, to control all others. And into this Bessue he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Bessie to rule them all. One by one, the free peoples of XKCD fell to the power of the Bessie.

Omg. I’m an idiot.

Guys im sorry again this is so embarrassing.

I looked at the original player list from the top, not the start of day one. So Bessie is in the game?

@Seven, can we get a confirmation this is the correct playerlist?

All the typical mafia rules apply. Scum have day chat (I mean there's no night kek). Deadline is ~5 days. I'm going to be fairly fluid on the exact deadlines. I'll put up a precise time if the phase is still going as we approach the 5-day mark.

Please remember that when a vote is placed, it is locked in.

For those new to the site:

glhf!

I need to just stop believing whatever people post. I’m so naive lol

Oh okay. So that actually is what happened. I reread myself. Not in post one but is in the game start post. Huh. I’m lost.

Well I feel like Bessie is either town or not in the game lol since she hasn’t voted back yet or posted at all.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

She works alot so expect her to take some time, and she will wall because of the little time she has to post.

I still don’t know if she’s actually in this game but good to know.

I confirm that Bessie is in the game and replaced Wam.

The OP will be edited to reflect this.

Big news lol

Yah this is a loss in my book lmao.

Anyways, back to my previous read of Heury, and I also want EGW's question to Heury answered about the reasoning for the vote.

Dammit, should've told you I'm town before you had this realisation

GreedyBanger wrote: ↑Tue Apr 22, 2025 4:02 am

Probably

Not a great answer

What does a great answer look like?

Still waiting on a satisfactory response to this.

re moody
In my defense, I was using the easier to access list at the top of page 1, but yah its embarrassing lol.

I thought I saw Bessie in the playerlist but did the same as DB when double checking. The mistake is understandable since this game is merged with the sign up thread.

A full page of debate on whether a player is in the game? god this game rules.

I was paranoid at this

Deadbananas0 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 22, 2025 3:57 am After the darkest dungeon 2 game, I am now a convert to less posts = more solvable game lol. With a limit, please seven don't smite me with a word limit.

And had to double check the rules to make sure I hadn't missed a word limit rule so I had already read the list with bessie on it yesterday but then wasn't around today for it to matter. But yeah the mistake totally makes sense with there having been two differing lists

Current drive by thoughts
I'm seeing a lot of convo leading from deadbananas and EGW-not sure where I land with it on deadbananas (beyond setting off a who's on first level confusion event) but it's a good early EGW sign (I feel like my main limited meta take on is you love the hunt). Somi had a few good "elaborate on that" moments I enjoy. Like getting early opinions from moody. Greedy's active as well but also opened with either a taunt/feint or going for the easiest "get out of the game" move that is unforch gonna color them the rest of the game for me. Same with heury's morning bell vote.

The final three players have my strongest conclusions that should be taken most seriously and re-quoted to me in day 4 when we need it most for final solves.

Kay is locktown. We got "Trust me" and "I'm town this time" from her so early it simply has to be true.

Bessie is locktrusted. That's mechanically undeniable.

Mak is in a profile picture chrysalis and will emerge stronger than before.

Best read of the game so far. I like you!

My general plan was to put the first person who voted me into the never vote pile btw. I plan on being here for a while.

Easy to say now to be fair but it is what it is

Even me?

I’m glad I was being selfish about playing longer lol

Anyway you still have 2 hours you never know!
