With 7 alive it takes 4 to lynch.
Deadline: Wednesday, April 20th.

[GreyICE]

Scum RB. That's a good point.

PEdit: Yes. We'd be posting under Whitney and Faye.

In a quicktopic?

No Grey-kun, they'll use telepathy.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

It requires activation, but I can do that at any time; no provisions for dead Faye are made; yes, in a qt.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'm still confident in a AGM/GI scum team.

I'm happy with either of those lynches today.

So Fate made a mechanic where you have to log in and out of Quicktopic to post or risk modkill, requires 0.5 seconds to break the anonymity (just agree to post a specific phrase at start of day) and is more or less functionally identical to:

Claim: Catelyn Stark - Mason Recruiter. Each night, I can target one player to find out if they are Brienne of Tarth. I can't tell the difference between a non-Brienne target and a roleblock. If the person I target is Brienne, she and I become mason buddies and become town-confirmed to each other. I have failed to find Brienne of Tarth thus far. My targets:
N1 - Percy
N2 - xvart
N3 - hascow
N4 - Mikujin

YOU LOSE

@GreyICE: I don't understand your objection here. Its no stranger than a one-shot hider.

@GreyICE: I don't understand your objection here. Its no stranger than a one-shot hider.

It's much more mechanically annoying. Quicktopic doesn't like you having two names. You'd be very likely to have at least one post from "CES" or something in the topic, which would quickly be like 'jigs up' in terms of anonymity.

And then you have the fact it's functionally identical to a 'best fakeclaim' award.
Has very little thematic content (the person in question cheated Faye out of millions of dollars, they're not friends)
And is a weird ability anyway (Functionally it would make them masons, only the fact it exists alignment confirms them anyway) and you have... no.

Seriously, two townies with abilities that alignment confirm town? That's pushing a limit.

what.

i had more respect for you.

Vote: CES

This is the lynch for today. We can worry about toasty v kdub tomorrow.

[AlmasterGM]

Also, I got the night actions of my predecessors.

Night 1: No action
Night 2: No action

deerrrrrpppppppppp

[GreyICE]

Heh

You know, that actually makes me sure you're town.

Scum can usually submit their other pals actions. And my bet is you'd have claimed the actions they submitted.

[ToastyToast]

@ AGM: I highly doubt that Faye would be a fakeclaim.

CES does have quite the fake-claim, I admit that. He's also already on my scum list, so I'm okay with lynching him today.

However, I feel like today would be the best day to lynch LLD if we think she's scum.
She claimed the bounty. That means that, scum or town, her death would allow for all our powers to take effect. GreyICE can hide behind someone, I can motivate, and CES-Kdub can get their QT. We can get information out of that 2morrow. Then Kdub can see who on the wagon was scum.

The problem: On the chance that I'm wrong and LLD flips town, my power is...too strong if I use it on the wrong person.

Ugh, in the process of writing that I'm beginning to think its too risky, but its something to think about.

[GreyICE]

No.

My hider action is too dangerous for me to use if we mislynch, I mishide and we lose.

A neighborhood doesn't even confirm CES town.

[ToastyToast]

Yeah...you mishide and we lose. I mis-motivate and we lose...thats no longer an option.

Vote:CES

He is now at L-1

[Kdub]

Well, there are several mechanical issues with CES's claim, one of which Grey has pointed out. It seems like a very contrived ability to me. You are a neighborizer...but you have no choice who to neighborize? You have to activate it, even though you have no choice who your target is? Why not just skip all the unnecessary mechanics and just say "your bounty reward is to become neighbors with the player who is character X"?

I'm willing to hammer, anyone have any objections?

[GreyICE]

Yes.

I'd kind of like to wait for more input from a few people.

[Kdub]

OK then.

[GreyICE]

Yeah it's this thing.

I have you pegged as a bit of a town read.

But you really need to give us more input into this game.
"Ok then" wasn't it.

[AlmasterGM]

@Toasty - Good god, no. We are not lynching LLD for the bounty. No no noooooooooooooo.

@GreyICE - WHAT THE FUCK @ 1462. That was the PERFECT FUCKIN TIME TO GAMBIT TOASTY. Look at that really awesome fence-sit he's got going there. You shoulda been like, "yeah I'd be cool with it" and see whether he'd a) agree with you (despite it being the obviously WRONG MOVE), gaining him scum points or b) further develop the idea of it being bad on his own, thus granting him town points.

If you're gonna have a self-declared meta of being a tricksy trapper, you have to at least DO IT RIGHT.

[GreyICE]

No.

All we develop is if he's good at setup speculation.

Being someone who sucks at it so hard that I might as well be a neutron star, I consider that a null tell.

[GreyICE]

I mean seriously, if we had bounties, we'd confirm toasty instantly (since his bounty can't be scum with a 1-shot assassin and a lyncher), we'd confirm Faye is town, we'd confirm that CES has that ridiculous power, etc.

That's all he's speculating on. Unfortunately, I have this sneaking suspicion the bounty mechanic will never come in to play. Which would be kinda lulzy.

[AlmasterGM]

Oh, don't like my ideas?

It's cool, I'll accept your apology in the postgame when the flipped team is Vi/CES/Toasty.

[GreyICE]

Okay, well if CES flips scum, your roleblock will be clearing town

at a rapid pace.

So I'll apologize tomorrow when there's no kills, okay?

[GreyICE]

BTW, you mind claiming it IF CES flips scum?

If he flips town, do whatever you want for WIFOM, but it would be very nice to know who we can rule out 100% if you die.

[Kdub]

But you really need to give us more input into this game.
"Ok then" wasn't it.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to waiting for people giving input on CES's claim who haven't commented on it yet.

Unfortunately, I have this sneaking suspicion the bounty mechanic will never come in to play. Which would be kinda lulzy.

Well, since we know which players are eligible to be a future bounty, we can still use the presence of the mechanic to analyze various events, even if the bounties themselves don't get activated. I'll elaborate tomorrow when we have more info, but hopefully you catch my drift.
