Final Day 1 Vote Count:

BN - 6 (Matthieu #3, Val #51, Xanjori #113, Claws #140, MitchRapp #198, Listo #199)
Caito - 2 (3puppies #38), CWE #66)
Sleep - 2 (Caito #92, Mazer #176)
Claws - 1 (BN #4)
Listo - 1 (Grumpy #68)

Not Voting: llettuce, MTR

—------------------

The group spent the day more or less meandering around and discussing their circumstances. As the sun set, no one amongst them stood out as the most dastardly and they decided to take a night to see what a new day would bring them.

There has been no elimination.

—------------------

It is now Night 1. Night 1 will end at 8:00pm ET on Sept 30th or when all actions are submitted. Actions must be submitted by 6:00pm ET for them to be valid.
If 3 puppies is indeed evil Id be tempted to go BN straight after.

There is the potential for framed results during this game based on the roles within the game. Specifics are detailed on these role cards.
Like this is the only thing it sounds like could be a v/v situation with Val+3puppies here, I guess Val should give more details into why he is so sure 3Puppies is evil

Its more about why pick you? I could think of easier yeet targets.

I wondered what I did to deserve being a target, and I think either it was random, or that he - like everyone - knows I am a lot less experienced so maybe I wouldn't know what to do. With nothing in the writeup, there's no way I can prove to everyone I am no threat to town. I have a much higher opinion of everyone else than myself, so I do see myself as maybe the easiest target.

But it's mostly about how I read the Executioner role. In a game with limited writeups, it would seem the easiest strategy would be to simply claim deets on someone right away, and press for a yeet on them as nobody else has anything that could be confirmed.

If you're doing it purely off votes... why pick 3pups and me specifically?

Looks like I could be teamed with 3pup, Caito, CWE, Mazer, Grumpy, Llettuce or MTR

If we have an Executioner, as I suspect, doesn't it make the most sense for them pick a target and claim info very early, before anyone can counter? If the Executioner gets me yeeted, then a random person either on my train, or who did not vote also dies, and the Executioner wins.

Seems like a relatively easy wincon in a game with limited writeups.
It's an interesting theory.

The limited writeup sucks.

I know I didn't act because I don't know who is deserving. But with only 3 roles in the write-up, and 14 players, there are 10 others who aren't sharing anything about your actions. One of these is I am guessing Val, the Executioner, who is not in the writeup either.

That still leaves 9 of you not sharing info about your activity last night.
I liked your earlier theory, but I also don't love this post.

Obviously, the "If it is an executioner, why choose 3pups?" probably went into our minds. And I can't quite get there with your first paragraph. It doesn't really ring right to me. I mean, you've played a decent amount of games at this point. You're no newb. And you tend to post more often. It's not a weekend, and there are people who are basically inactive.

All that said, I've been surprised by Val's targets before and it's certainly not a theory that can be ruled out. That is a viable strategy.

A player accused of being scum, even if caught red handed, is liable to deny and deflect. It generally comes down to how good the individual is at sweet talk.

On the other hand, if we choose to believe 3puppies and turn on Val and it turns out Val is telling the truth...then we lose a valuable investigation role.

Well. I'm not going to argue with you, of all people, about sweet talk.

I do think that if someone presents a theory, it at least needs to be vetted out fully. The facts check to me. It's the "Why" of 3pups that I'm still wrapping my mind around, and whether that makes sense as a narrative.

I agree though, without evidence, I would not be in favor of making an assumption about Val.

A quick lynch mob mentality on someone bringing forth dees, without a validation....is dumb.

This is why I have not voted Val yet. Besides OMGUS, I want to understand if there are other possibilities I am missing.

Okay. I need to go back and read what is going on. I skimmed to try to catch up. So Val says 3pups while 3pups is saying not so fast. I mean not like we have seen people interpret their info wrong in the past so I guess we need to hash this out some.

If the scenarios, are:

Val has legit dees-This is pretty straightforward. Val is probably good.
Val is executioner-3 pups could be good, bad, or neutral. Val would be neutral and 3pups retains almost the same base chance of membership (minus 1 from whatever the n is for the neutral group, so slightly higher percentage than a random person of falling in good or bad vs. neutral).
Val has corrupt dees-Val good, 3 pups likely good.

The 3rd possibility is the much less likely thing. As, unless I've missed something in roles (admittedly I have not read all in depth), it would require the person making the corruption to guess right on one of two non-obvious targets on n1 (the night where there are the most potential targets for a night action). So, I can't rule it out completely, but certainly the first 2 are more probable.

It's also not lost on me that the Executioner role being cited will scare people from voting. So it could be a wise defense, and certainly something voidkitten would have considered as potentially mitigating the effectiveness of investigative roles.

Damn it voidkitten. It's the litterbox for you.

Val, I am absolutely not scum. Not sure what you're reading / implying that made you come up with this.

I have spent the day making hospice arrangements for my mother-in-law. We are told its a matter of hours or maybe a day. As she's in her late 80's, it's not unexpected, but she's made it through at least 8 ER trips in the past year, and she's always pulled through. But each time, a little weaker.

So I will probably get modkilled for not being able to meet the 10 post minimum.
Sorry to hear that.

I believe Val is an Executioner

There is no way there can be any info on me as I made no action last night.

Val comes in claiming deets, hoping to get me wrongly yeeted.

In a game with limited write-ups, it seems easy enough to believe.

Val, you're a much better, more experienced player than I am. Somebody else may hopefully please be able to explain this better to me
You don't have to do an action for someone to get info on you if they have some kind of cop check they can do. Just saying.

Val claims info 3 puppies.
3 puppies denies and proposes executioner.

Oh and Claws is scum.

That about sums it up.

Val got dees and undrestood it wrong. Like some games ago where he was town and yeeted town like this.

I am not voting based on his word alone. If I see Vals flip and will i will decide if those are deets or no.

Scenario 4...Val is PM and used reveal potion on 3pup seeing an evil and is puahing.

There's also the possibility that Val simply lucked out and picked a good target on N1.

It's possible. I usually see that in more of the RM games, and from some other folks fucking around with trying to outsmart the color. But def possible

There are not many town that would have a guaranteed evil hit n1. Literally only 3. Unless I'm missing one.
Depending on how many scum there are, in 16 person game, 3 people isn't terrible odds. I guess....would you do that n1?

So I guess it's more likely, just based on numbers, for it to hit town than scum. But no so improbable as to rule out.

But the executioner just needs someone that they can talk people into lynching.

PM meta is reveal each night and if you have a rit, and don't find a TI...they dead. If your team has a jinx and 1 more coven...that's 3 dead a night potentially.

Potion Master. Coven.
Last rand had 3 individual "sk" and a scum team of 2.

IF this game is in simillar fashion then on one hand it will be harder to get scum based on connections because there isnt really any team. But it could lead to some scum v scum action.

GA doesn't know what their target is. Just who their target is. Cleric wouldn't know if a arso visited...no attack. Admirer...same.

The question is....are you working in an evil salt mine?

Well, their headquarters is very close to where I work. They sponsor a lot of things, including Sporting KC.
