Long Game 92: Process of Elimination

[Walin he/him]

I think the main two targets for Trolling are Aman and Wiz, if I recall D1 right. I'll continue to soft-claim Troll, but actually revealing my role and alignment will probably wait until later. For now, I'll just say:

Trolls, troll either Aman, Wiz, or Novel, if you feel like it.

(Striker, was your other role Lynchpin? It allows you to "lock in" the votes at a given point during the Day? I'm not aware of this role ever existing before, but it sounds the most related to Lynchbait in both naming scheme and theme.)

Uh, I've got nothing else to say, and I'm signing off for the night. I don't suspect that I'll be online to post tomorrow, so this will be my last in-thread post for the forseeable future.

------

Walin decided to head to bed early. However, like all reasonable decisions that Walin made, he quickly backtracked on it and decided to go play video games for a while. Perhaps until he got tired, perhaps until he saw the morning light. Who was to guess? Certainly him, though his guesses wouldn't be the most accurate.

He faintly hoped to retain his account until the next day, but he knew it was up in the air at this point. If someone were to become suspicious of him, he would have no way of defending himself. For, you see, he was not inclined to log back on. And perhaps more importantly, the entire Northwestern side of the US lost Internet connection for the period of about five hours while he was asleep. This also somehow erased his cookies and saved passwords, which he would have to spend a considerable amount of time recovering.

I award myself 2 XP.

[Amanuensis he/him]

So there was no vote manipulation. Bookwyrm probably v?

[Ashbringer he/him]

Is it a Terror of GMs role?

No one has guessed the other role yet. Good guesses though! I’m enjoying them hehehe

[Ashbringer he/him]

Also - hey @Matrim's Dice, are you a Baker?

Why? You said your role doesn’t mention Trolling and that you don’t have any active abilities

I will not be giving any further information so as to not allow the elims to interfere, but suffice it to say that trolling me can never hurt the village. And there is a large chance that it actively helps us.

Just a simple troll, perhaps?

[Ashbringer he/him]

I think TKN wants to turn his Lurcher into a Coinshot.

We both know this never happens. Don't lie to yourself. I'm far closer to my bed than you are  (we're roommates)

Seems to be implying my Midfielder/other role hybrid theory checks out too. Neat

[StrikerEZ he/him]

Oh yeah that reminds me. Aman, did you have a theory that I had 2 roles? Or were you just thinking it was possible to have 2?

Oh no, I just figured out 2-role players existing because of my role. I talked about it here:

I’m default village aligned tho, simply on merit of being me  and while true that there are likely more Village World Cuppers than Elim, I have no intention to shoot the ones that I village read (which I already have for two). My personal goal is to find the Elim World Cupper(s) and kill them myself, unless they figure out how to reach me and negotiate a deal, but even then, I would never vote alongside the elims, just maybe kill a Village World Cupper after they sacrifice theirs to me. Alternatively, they just might kill me, which doesn’t help their win con and buys time for the Village.

Point is, the World Cuppers are in the game, and I’m using it as a vehicle to drive my own analysis + keep others informed. It’s not a separate problem ultimately

 

ED1T:

I do have one more piece of info to share.

The way my role interacts with Trolls isn’t exactly an immunity. Attempting to Troll the Referee will not stop me from issuing a Yellow Card to my target, but it will also give the Troll a Yellow Card. Thing is, my Yellow Cards do nothing on non-Football roles and will return as a failure. This leads me to think some players may have more than one role (I.E. Troll and Goalkeeper). 

I was hoping to maybe catch a World Cupper that way but at the very least I think unwise to assume players only have a single role, based on my info. I could especially see vanilla!Midfielders being paired with non-Football power roles too.

Obviously no one should reveal if they have two roles, but hopefully if I’m right and some Troll/??? Hybrid people exist, they’ll have another reason to believe my claim, and maybe test it for themselves

I actually don’t know what happens when a not-Football role gets one of my Yellow Cards. I know I get told it has no effect, but the rest is PAFO’d. If I don’t have a viable target tonight, I might just use it on a Villager I trust to see if they receive something about it in their PM. Of course, if any Trolls are willing to come forward and test it themselves, I’d appreciate it greatly.

[|TJ| he/him]

striker says his second role is thematically similar to his first so. lynchbait. so. end the cycle in 24hrs? skip a night? protect the lead lynch and the second highest votee gets removed?

[Channelknight Fadran]

Remind me what Striker's first role was?

Also hi Mat

Dang it! I’ve been spotted!

Watched Ocean’s Eleven, just checking the thread before going to bed  Wasn’t planning on posting, but…

No, though, I’m not a Baker. I can see Football and SE flavored roles but like… how would that fit in? xD

Striker asking us to just not vote three people tomorrow after Democracy voted him out seems like a hard ask when we most likely will be able to tell who gets the extra vote but whatever I guess

Baker is a player that played maybe two SE games and to ‘pull a Baker’ is a phrase sometimes used so I could maybe see that fitting in.

[Ashbringer he/him]

Honestly I was more referring to the MU Baker roles (which iirc, give people bread that can be eaten to use certain actions).

Unlikely, but possible.

... Actually if there is an SK, wouldn't be surprised if it was "MU Operative" or something
