i tried to protect neverhelm and "my action was unsuccessful", someone roleblocked me -- although i can easily see that RB coming from a town player that think i'm scum

but before all that... how the gently caress did grandi die? i spent a good part of yesterday building a case on him being scum and then he fuckin dropped dead at hammer

Opop did you try to mason me? I got 500 chips but it didn't say from where.

I bluffed Zoya out of 205 and then ended up getting 500 and 200 separately from ???

Twas I, we figured you were trustworthy.

And speaking of we'd thought about masoning Helm earlier and figured that it makes no sense for him to be able, I am guessing that the "bad players" I can recruit are the vanilla-type roles, so if anyone wants to claim one lmk

Strongly believe that Zoya is the kill choice today. No need to rush it, though, they are already -2 and I’d like to attempt to play some poker today, for one thing.

shwinnebego posted:

i mean, even i don't really see a scenario where i don't get executed today, even though i know it's a mislunch

the only thing i can point to in my own defense is that, the literal only person i tried to case and build suspicion against yeterday was grandi, because he pinged me hard the day before, he visited me and hadn't claimed what his action does aside from steal chips (...which, as it turns out, was all that it did i guess), so i thought if shwinne was telling the truth on having watched me, grandi was the most likely to have messed with my action

...but, grandi was apparently poisoned, or delaykilled in some manner. i assume this is why there was no kill N2, and scum presumably knew he was dead man walking, right? if i were scum, would i really waste my time trying to push suspicion or votes onto someone i knew was going to drop dead before it ever became relevant? DB was always going to be the vote yesterday, so any posts, speculations, and casing, were just building up ammunition for our D4 execution decision... a decision that scum would have known grandi would never be a part of

it's actually kind of depressing really because with grandi dead i no longer have any idea who the real remaining scum is. i suspected opop at one point, but that was ages ago, and he's played solidly pro-town since then. josef has always seemed solid town to me. hal has always seemed solid town to me, even if everyone took issue with my townread on him for reasons that are beyond me yesterday. that leaves ref, shwinne, and SiV, all of which are currently town leans for me. if i squint and stretch really hard, i guess i can see shwinne being scum that simply lied about the watch target, but is it even possible for shwinne + DB to be scum together? DB's flip explicitly puts him in a masonry with shwinne. would maugrim hard code a masonry between... two scum players? that's too weird even for maugrim.

so that leaves me as the only smart choice for town to execute right now, even though i know it's a mistake, and i don't really know how to correctly play this game state tbh

I bluffed Zoya out of 205 chips and then somehow swiped an additional 200. It seemed to have been a separate move, the wording was different.

If Hal gifted you his usual 222 and then somehow gained 740 from you, that would explain it being a net 518 but actually two steps.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Apparently I'm not a bad player (or a good player, either? Solidly mediocre) so I'm sorry it didn't work.

does your stealing action, perchance, also roleblock your target? asking for a friend

That's just it. I don't have a stealing move. I have a bluff move that takes 20% of the chips of my target. That's the 205. I have no idea WTF is up with the extra 200.

I assume that's more of the "scum moving chips around for lols" except Hal swiping 700-ish after gifting to shwinn also seems to be in that pile.

i mean, i would describe an action that targets a player and gives you 20% of their chips as a "stealing action", but yes, there's still some fuckery going on with the chips that i don't know if we'll ever fully figure out

Not really, although I’m not sure where things stand if Zoya ends up flipping town. I think everyone seems pretty set on this (and I don’t disagree with it) but speaking for myself I would be suspicious of about 90% of the remaining players if this ends up a misdunk somehow.

There also doesn’t seem to be a ton of need to hurry and I still have chips to lose, so I’d be up for more cards, too.

If Zoya is a misdunk, we may want to watch Spacing in Vienna.

I didn’t get any chips from Ref or Josef when I gave them 222 though so it wasn’t my action

So as we get closer to the end game I think it's important I reveal the OTHER thing I give people.

Whoever I gift chips to their vote SECRETLY counts double, so let's be careful with that if we get down another person without hitting a scum
