Marna walked slowly through the Forests of Hell. Shades could be seen in every direction. She carried with her a silver knife, just in case. She made eye contact with one of the Shades. The Shade looked back at her.

There were times when she felt like the Shades were more intelligent than they appeared to be. This was one of those times. She felt as if she could see something behind those lifeless eyes...

Taxes, taxes, taxes. She was not going to pay taxes. The Constabulary must be sacrificed. For once, the Shades were actually useful.

She, however, had no idea who the constables were. She decided that she would wait to see how the day unfolded.

Why is the Target good for the Homsteaders? Did I miss some important piece of information?

I think I missed something

The Target and Bounty Hunter are effectively playing a little mini game where whichever one survives longer gets a Power as a reward. If the Bounty Hunter outlives the Target, they become harder to kill, getting a -1 to all votes on them and a one-use protection from the elim kill. If the Target outlives the Bounty Hunter, they get told two players' names, one elim and one villager.

Obviously, having a more durable villager would be nice, but it's my assessment that the information the Target gets is more valuable. And notably, while the Bounty Hunter's power is useful to both sides, the Target's power is only useful to the village -- the elims already know everyone's alignment.

2. Whether breaking the simple rules is worth it depends on timing.

Early in the game, imo it's probably often worth it, or at least not that big of a deal if you incur some extra votes. Anyways, I've got a few votes right now, so don't be shy about antagonizing the shades 

Late in the game, there's less players, so each vote is relatively more impactful. Those extra votes could be the difference between the elims being able to force-feed an innocent tax evader to the shades or not being able to do that.

Yeah, I agree on that. I hadn't really considered the dynamic as the player count goes down.

Running At Night: Just not worth it in endgame, imo. I think we should taper off PM communications as the game unfolds. The extra votes are too critical when there's fewer players. And whatever secret thing you'd hypothetically want to whisper about in PMs, it's probably time to share with the class in any case, because there's not much use in carrying a secret into the next turn if there won't be a next turn.

Yeah, I'm turning around on this. In my mind, the cost wasn't really that high, so it was almost always worth it. But I'm now realizing that the reward ALSO isn't very high, honestly; PMs in general seem to have limited utility in this game. There's pretty much no information available to the village that isn't fully public, so the only use for PMs is to share suspicions without warning your suspect. The only other things I can think of are to share the information acquired by the Target, if they get it, and maybe to coordinate a surprise Kindle Fire push.

Don't Shed The Blood of Another: Breaking this rule is necessary to make any progress. It does theoretically slightly discourage overkill -- ie, in an ideal world you wouldn't want to pile your vote on someone who's already going over, since then you're just incurring an extra vote for no reason -- but, surprisingly, none of us can divine the future.

That's interesting, because I had read it as actually encouraging overkill, to better neutralize the effect. Every exe is always going to mean putting at least one person at increased risk the following cycle, but the more people who vote for it, the more spread out that risk becomes. If literally every player votes for a single exe candidate, then the effect of blood is completely negated, after all. Voting on a candidate who's already likely to die doesn't increase the odds of a misexe the following cycle, unless every other vote on that player is from an elim. At worst it increases the odds that you in particular are the one who gets misexed. So the only reasons to avoid it are selfish play, or a genuine assessment that you are more valuable to the village than your fellow villagers (for example, if you are the Target).

What are you doing here? There's no way you're that confident yet, who are you trying to fool? Off of one post filled with nothing but my typical mech analysis? Heck, I'd already planned most of the post before the game even began, so it seems really unlikely to me that it was influenced by my alignment. If there was some non-obvious rules exploit, e!Wonko might have possibly kept it out of his analysis, but there wasn't; the game is pretty straightforward, if nontraditional. I'm like 90% confident I would have written pretty much the exact same post, regardless of my alignment. Do you have data on me suggesting otherwise or something?

Are you trying to spook me? It feels like you should know me better than that. You've played enough games with me to know that I don't sweat under vote pressure, I welcome it, regardless of my alignment. I can't imagine what reaction you'd be aiming to provoke from e!Wonko.

The only thing I can think of is that this is an elim plot of some kind, where you plan to spin my usual unbothered response to votes as somehow evidence that I'm an elim because I've responded that way as an elim in the past. That also seems kind of far-fetched to me -- you'd need to be REALLY confident in your ability to out-argue me -- but lacking a better explanation for your choice to poke me, I suppose I'll return fire:

[Kasimir he/him]

I wanted to RP but health issues are not going away so I'm going to cut to the point.

Striker's opening I'm inclined to give some Village credit to. E!Striker tends to feel a bit more pressure to be helpful. It's a chill vibe.

I don't want to C1 Wonko as he's just returned but I do want to note that Wonko's response here felt a tad overreactionary - if Wonko believes it's just a pressure test, then why does it merit the degree of thought/elaboration in response it does? Theoretically I'd like to believe E!Wonko would be more tonally placatory here, but that's a dated meta-read and I think the first level response is that this feels more defensive, and I'm not sure it originates from a Village mindset. Would say to watch/pursue in a future cycle if I'm dead today.

I don't have a solid read on Drake at present. Willingness to make PMs is theoretically a positive given he did it at the point there were two votes on him, but Drake eats risk for breakfast regardless of his alignment and I don't feel his thread presence has given me something I'm happy to ascribe a read to. Be funny if Drake randed E two games in a row though.

I'd like to make a TJ read but TJ just showed up in PMs saying he's busy. Theoretically you can give some Village credit to the willingness to spend a vote in PMs with a vote already on him but after Jo's QF, I don't feel too comfortable overcredencing on how inactivity affects E!TJ versus V!TJ.

I'd like to think Sparker and Code aren't teamed based off their RP together.

Marna did not feel like CD was acting out of the ordinary in any way. Her brother had known one of CD's associates and they acted virtually the exact same. So either CD was an ordinary homesteader, or he is completely unaffected at being an undercover constable. Or he's just really good at hiding stuff.

 

I am leaning very slightly towards village for Coder, because he acts this way in like every single RP. So he is either village or extremely chill with being elim. Or maybe I'm going about this wrong and he would be more comfortable with being an elim than a villager. I'm inclined to say he probably isn't the Target though, as that puts pressure no matter what.

Or Coder's tendency to begin RPs like this just overrides everything else and he would do this no matter the role. Which is the most likely scenario, so this didn't actually give much information.

Kas's post felt like a test to see how Wonko would react, which is one of his favorite strategies, though I will note that in Wonko's mech analysis, he seems far too eager to let the villagers rack up votes on themselves. I don't think this is damning of him at all, and I like the analysis, but something good to note.

My point was that I DON'T believe this is just a pressure test. From someone who hasn't played with me, a pressure test makes a lot of sense; you can often tell a lot about a person by whether and how they defend themselves. But that isn't effective on me, and you should know that. You've played plenty of games with me, you know I shrug off pressure tests regardless of alignment. I'm just not very vulnerable to poking. Given that, one of three things is true:

1) I'm right that poking me would never have yielded useful data, but you just made a mistake, poking me without thinking about what my likely response would be. This is possible; as others have said, pressure like this is a traditional move for you. But I also know that you're a much better player than me, so I'm not betting on you having made a mistake I wouldn't make.

2) I've got some kind of tell that I'm blind to, but you've noticed. I nearly always welcome or ignore poke votes, but maybe you've noticed some subtle differences in how I do it, depending on my alignment? This is a very reasonable possibility; as I've said, you're better at this game than me. I've taken a cursory look at some old games I've played, and haven't found any sort of tell yet, but I admit it's still very believable that you have notes on me that outshine my own self-knowledge.

3) It was not a real pressure vote, but rather just an attempt to LOOK like a typical Kas pressure vote. This is the possibility that most concerns me. As TwinStorm points out, it's a traditional move for you, so it's very unlikely to arouse suspicion -- but since you'll also be aware that it's unlikely to yield any useful information from me, you know that you can safely use it as an excuse to vote for a Villager, and you might even be able to spin my response as suspicious in some way.

So, unless one of us is missing something, I think it makes no sense for you to put a poke vote on me. I will note, though, that I took a MUCH more defensive stance than I usually do, and you didn't pounce on that in your response as a tool to cast suspicion on me. That makes me doubt my reasoning a little, but I still think e!Kas is the most likely explanation for your vote. You tend to plan ahead, so I imagine you'd decide that casting more than light suspicions my way is too dangerous this early.

If you have another reasonable explanation for why you put a vote on me, I'll retract my vote from you. Otherwise, my vote stands, barring any other sudden suspicious behavior.

2. I'm granting you the assumption it's a pressure test, by the way, when I'm pointing out it reads like a overdefensive and overthought reaction, hence my worries it's more likely to originate from an Elim perspective than a Village one. It's not one, or not in the way you would understand as one.

I'm trying to understand why this is a Villagery response because your entire original line of thought was:

Nothing about me has been alignment indicative THEREFORE clearly unfounded, THEREFORE clearly a plot to get me killed.

The transition from 'clearly unfounded' despite the view it's a pressure test to 'clearly a plot to get me killed' doesn't make sense from v!you's perspective here - you're a returning player; in a game where an Elim can shoot anyone including a lot of soft targets, yes, they would decide to vote you in particular. It's a very contrived line that I'm leaning more E on than not.

Okay, that, at least, makes some sense. I haven't gone back to read that game in... basically, since I played it. XP And I was only thinking about my usual response to poke votes, but you're right, there's other kinds of pressure tests. I'll have to go back and spend some time rereading it, to make sure your logic makes sense, but I'm guessing it does; I recall playing fairly badly that game. So this is potentially option two from my list, "Kas is a better player than me and I should not assume I know more about myself than he does".

Hang on, I might be misunderstanding the pronouns here; there's a lot of "it"s without ambiguous targets. You're assuming I'm pressure-testing you? Or are you saying you weren't pressure-testing me, and you actually saw something in my mech analysis that prompted suspicion?

The thought process was:

1) Nothing about me has been alignment indicative, and Kas is very unlikely to put a vote down for no reason. THEREFORE, this is a strategic vote, not an actual suspicion.

2) Poke voting me doesn't typically yield any information (an assumption I'm going to have to reassess after I reread that LOTR game), THEREFORE the goal wasn't to get info out of me.

3) I can't think of any other strategic purpose a vote on me could serve for a Villager, THEREFORE either I'm missing something, or the vote is serving an Eliminator strategy.

4) If I think about why e!Kas might have put a vote on me, I come up with two reasons: to blend in with his usual patterns, and potentially to outmaneuver me and put me into a less-trusted position.

I never said anything approaching "clearly a plot to get me killed", and I find it odd that you would characterize it like that. For one thing, I never suspected that the goal was to get me killed, only to cast suspicion on me, and discredit my voice. Also, where on earth did you pull the word 'clearly' from? At what point did I seem to indicate I was sure about my suspicions? I have couched everything I said about this in extremely tentative language.

Your explanation that I actually do have tells in the face of pressure was going to makee reconsider my vote, but this blatant attempt to strawman my position is swinging me back the other way hard.

This also has me very confused. Why would a dead v!Kas be evidence for e!Wonko? I understand at least some of the suspicions you've put on me so far, but not how they're somehow strengthened by an elim decision to kill you. Why would e!Wonko pick this fight with you on the same cycle the elims plan to kill you? What could I possibly stand to gain?

And by death-flagging yourself like that, you radically increase the chance of you getting killed in a v!Wonko/v!Kas scenario, as a way of getting an easy exe on v!Wonko. That's incredibly careless, which isn't like you -- which says to me that you are very sure we're not living in a v/v Wonko/Kas world. So either you're extremely confident I'm an elim, or else you're an elim. And even with everything you've floated so far, I have absolutely no idea where you'd get that kind of certainty.

MR73 - Cycle Two: A Single Lament

The Bounty Hunter looked up from his notes. He had made great progress on discovering the Target. He would find them any day now. They were all looking at him. He was surprised that they had even noticed him, and now they wanted his thoughts? Bizarre, these people.

He quickly allayed their suspicions, and discussion turned to another. Soon, they decided to sacrifice the man to the Shades.

The Bounty Hunter hardly noticed.

The man was not his Target.
