Phraze said: Crossbell may be a better one to ask about that since he's done it longer. This game's only the second time I've used it. ^^;;@Gruffin btw can I ask how interaction analysis works? and what suspects did u get out of that my interactions? I'm kinda curious. didn't even know how to manipulate interactions o.o' Edit: Also, I didn't get any good suspects out of yours because you are not confirmed scum. T-T I think I pointed out who might be your scumbuddy if you were scum, but at this point it's mostly speculation. |

I hate when games are this inactive, most of the votings reason are petty and biased. Which will only lead to a town failure because when a game is this inactive mafia just need to be active enough to and pocket actives to win, which is how the Christmas game was won. Scum are not overall playing that great atm but issues are making it hard to see them. One of them is doing really well though. |

I feel so sorry for Logic right now in #1375. :( I'm surprised he's able to keep up motivation in this town, poor guy. I am sorry I am trying not to let your deaths be in vain I really am. It's fine, this game is really tough. |

I feel like this game is at least more active than Tis the Season, but maybe it just seems that way to me because I'm always behind in this one. Moar votes on Penta pls... I think he is scum (regardless of his amt of activity) And Lucian but ppl town read him too much /opinions from someone who hasn't fully read everything |

1366 Am I the only one who's not a part of this "yeah I understand what Denja is on about" cult? Is it really only me who's being blind? Still don't get any kind of this message Denja is supposedly telegraphing to everyone but me, and it's only getting increasingly frustrating when people give me that "yeah, look at the words in the words" hippy shit. lol if lucian is town i feel bad for him. I wonder, i think scum would be more inclined to sort of pretend they understand the message rather than making it obvious they don't know, so maybe lucian really is town. He's also been seeming townie to me the more I read. plus he's grilling kota, though that could still be scum theater, unless kota isn't scum.Actually I wouldn't be surprised if the townies that don't get it just never read their role pm flavor hmm... penta/kota/togs maybe, though i'm not really feeling scum togs. |

[3] KOtA || Chione, LucianRoy, Karote This vote count, though. Karote sheeping the KOtA train no reason given isn't making me feel any better about them. Idk, after my case against KOtA it's all too easy for him to get lynched today. I'm starting to think he may be town based on meta and how easy this train is building. Ah well, at least I can say my pressure on KOtA got him to talk.

^ @gruffin do you think Chione gets the flavor claim plan but is avoiding drawing attention to herself in regards to it? iirc she has not directly mentioned it or tried calling denja out about it (like penta and lucian have)..

Did you do something similar that I missed? I see xD guess it didn't follow my plans exactly, but still got my results.Denja's plan was how to organize our search parties. he purposely suggested N3 since he wanted to fish scum who will suggest earlier to use up our shots. few suggested N2, but his answer was after our first lynch. this was why he disagreed with N1 search, since we didn't lynch anyone. the idea was to determine scum on a leading train. u prob gave him the idea of flavor claiming...or he thought that up on the side O.o but so far, the way I saw it, his idea was how to plan search parties. flavor questions only happened during N1, so it could've been a later thought. hmmm so Denja has 2 ideas. I distrusted him mainly for asking tricky questions regarding mechanics...about the search party. if flavor claiming then pfft I doubt most ppl will agree with or even looked up their pm for backup. this game is communism(all about fairness) so most are playing by that. or that is what I would like to believe... |

I'm still surprised that mafia hasn't killed Denja yet for his plan because he poses a major threat to them if he tests them at any point. He's done major stuff for town this game by making the pool of possible scum smaller when clearing people as well. Why kill off the most active people instead? |

Penta does not help himself though. Logic is right in trying to put his views across if he thinks they are right. It is others job to give reasons why they are wrong not complain on them doing so. If you don't come to a consensus town will never win. The inactives and just general play in this has been pretty bad. As I said scum team are not doing great imo but town are doing worse |

looks like the game thread caught fire in a bad way in my absence..

He cleared people well not his fault people are blind, his tactic would really put scum under pressure so much it is unfair. The people who think he is scum are either bad town or scared scum. They is a maassive differeance between him and Claire. kinda see ur point there... tho I was genuinely upset he said my posts were awful, who cares if I'm town or not, I'm just in it for laughs, etc etc, in just 1 post. srsly..even if this is strategy, it's not very kind. it could be to see town/scum at its weakest...tho if it is, guess I find it more antitown than not. he enforces his mechanics on others and calls them scum if they don't follow, first me and now Penta. wut. his play might be suited to a rolemadness but not this. it ruins this game's analytical potential overall@Gruffin I'm pretty disappointed in this town, definitely. Well at least I can say I learned what /not/ to do this game. Which is a plus. it's always good to be more reserved, maybe focus on a couple of ppl, but never the whole picture. which is why I said "Ruu is my target, it's bs but better than nothing". u can be focused without distracting anyone else. this is ultimately teamwork, everyone should have their targets and work from there.Did pretty bad when I commented on everything and basically killed any pressure on the scum, and my actual pressuring needs some work as well.

Saying who cares if I'm town or not should and will get you killed tbf, since it shows a clear lack of town motive. His play is really not that bad and is not anti town his mechanic test is only used on people who look scummy to begin with Chione and Lucian for example did not pass the test and he does not want to lynch them. You and Penta were lynched for more reasons then that. His tactic is pretty good analysis as well and is creative, a lot more then most are doing that game. When you don't know who the scum are even after lynch the normal tactics are less effective. His tactic used here will only work in this setup as well it would not be able to be used in RM so not sure your point |
