I don't like how Karnage got so many votes so quickly, so I'm getting off his lynch.

StrikerEZ Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I was about to post a vote count myself, but it seems like Archivist has beaten me to it. I got the same vote count that he did, so that's probably accurate. @Furamirionind I explained my vote for Karnage earlier, but I'll summarize it real quick: I feel like Karnage isn't trying to vote on anyone he finds suspicious, just trying to vote on someone who he thinks will get lynched. While that's a valid strategy, it's usually best to back something like that up with suspicions, so you're not just blindly following the whims of bandwagons. I'm also not a fan of him linking Sart and Araris together so much. I don't really see the connections he sees between those two, and it seems like he's trying to set up the lynch on Sart to either frame or clear Araris (depending on how Sart flips). As for Emi and Pyro's votes, I don't like how they both hopped onto the bandwagon as soon as I voted for Karnage. At least Pyro's given some thoughts of his own about why he wants to lynch Karnage. @Emi Why do you want to lynch Karnage? Just now, Furamirionind said: Oh, I thought with all the votes we must be seconds away from rollover. xD Honestly, I'm amazed at how much activity we have going on right now. Over 200 posts in just the first cycle of this game. That's almost a third of the posts the LG I ran last summer had, and that game had a lot of activity.

I don't think they trust in their analysis enough, and so are just going with what more experienced players say are the right things to do. I did that in one of my earliest games. I'm suspicious of them too, but Karnage's worse, and more likely to generate some information on death. If they're an elim, maybe the whole 'team' thing could have been an attempt to connect Sart and Xilo because Sart was getting voted on and they wanted to make Xilo look innocent/guilty (depending on which way Sart flipped). That's the only real explanation for their actions I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V useful. Araris read then question whether they've posted v. odd. Ask about this. Unsure but useful Xino Araris I wrote the post, got to Matrim's Araris question, went and found Araris's post, and then decided to add that to the reads. My quote posts aren't always written chronologically. Sorry if it was confusing.

I forgot to mention it earlier, but I'm probably going to be fairly suspicious of anyone who really tries to go after him for stuff like this.

Misunderstanding of game makes me think doesn't have a team. Mild village Meh, I disagree with reading that much into new player confusion, since as you noted in #11, it can be faked. For the first Emi post especially I would read that as NAI since an elim might still ask in the thread to get a faster response. I feel like you're overstating many of these things.

It's interesting how @Orlok Tsubodai, @little wilson, and @Sart have all been rather quiet lately. Orlok talked about infolynching with me, but hasn't really replied to me on his read of me. I feel like he's going to drop a giant post or something. Wilson put a gut vote on me and didn't elaborate. She also explained her whole tone thing. Sart just dropped a weird bandwagony vote on me and left. Okay, I'll update. I think one of the TGK people did switch their vote. tbf ive been at work and dont really want to post from my phone cuz my phone is dummm (or is it smart?) and changes my lowercase i to uppercase and puts air commas (aka apostrophes) into my words without my permission. dumm phone. stop doing that. however im posting from my phone now so you special straw. :))) i cant elaborate because its a gut read. i would elaborate if i could but the whole point of gut reads imo is that you just feel something is off. if you could explain it it wouldnt be gut. make sense? that said i dont feel terribly strongly about your lynch since my gut read is only mild bad - you know like when you just have a bit of indigestion but you can live with it yeah? - and as others have said youve been contributing a lot so killing a very active player for info when there are other options might not be the best choice. i shall think on this and when im off work ill take a quick looksee through the thread to decide if i will change my vote/who i will change it to. not a fan of karnage's stuff against araris there. vote might go there. we see. in a few hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemalurgic Headshot Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I haven't said much because I remember now that I'm frankly poor at analysis. Often, I can make up for that with RP, but in this game, and especially C1, my flowery prose cannot help me. About my "waffling": in all my time as an SE player, I still haven't surmounted the D1 lynch question. Even now. I see both sides of the issue, but I can't come to a firm personal conclusion that I'll take to every game. Of course, now that there are a handful of lynch candidates being pushed, a discussion on why not to have a lynch is futile (though we could still pull it off). Let's have a look at the lynch then: Four players have met the three vote minimum: Sart (4), Straw (3), Karnage (4), and TGK (3). The almighty Joe has said that ties result in both parties killed. With this in mind, it would be possible to have a 4-way tie. That gives us a potential for 6 deaths C1 (that might be a record...). I don't like that number; I think it is too high. So, I think we need to consolidate our votes, or else we'll end up with a mountain of corpses. Of the 4 candidates here, I don't feel strongly about any of them. Sart doesn't really give me any bad vibes. Straw has been an amazing contributor, and so I would hate to lose them so early. Karnage's posts have been hit-and-miss, but that is mostly a gut read. Finally, TGK is a new player, and I don't have a good feel for them yet. Thus, I have no conclusions. I'll put my vote where it won't do much damage. Matrim's Dice, though your posts have been largely NAI, I have an off gut read about you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Young Pyromancer Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 So I've been thinking, and I had an idea. This is for all the extortionists out there. When you extort somebody, target the constable kill action. As only one elim can perform the kill, and this ability FORCES the player to use that action, it might cancel out the original kill for the new one. So, if you go around redirecting people to others the village is suspicious of, you might be able to control the night kill and make it hit someone that doesn't make us lose as much when they die. Then, if we keep that elim alive, we can mostly control both the night and day kills (excluding bleeder and barkeeps), thus winning the game. However, this might not work if the elims have an extortionist as well, since I don't know how multiple redirects interact. @A Joe in the Bush, could you please tell me how this would work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 I sure can. A Few things about the Extortionist Role, if an Extortionist targets Player A and tells them to Player B, I do three things: 1) I check if Player A can legally take that action. If so, they use that action to target player B. 2) If they can't, I check if they are taking a different action. If so, they use that action on player B. 3) If they aren't taking an action, I see if they have any actions available for them to take. They choose one at random and use it. In your scenario, you are having Extortionist Carol tell Constable Adam to target random player Bob. I would have to check if Adam can legally perform the Constable kill. If Constable Dave is already performing the Constable kill, then that action is spoken for, and Adam can't use it. The only way you would be able to redirect the Constable's kill is if you found the constable who was already doing the kill. If Two or more Extortionists target the same player, and give them contradictory orders, I will flip a coin to determine which one takes precedence. If an Extortionist tries to make a player take an illegal action, they will not be told they failed. The only feedback an Extortionist will get is if they get roleblocked. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what, I want there to be a lynch so we can have information to work off of tommorow. @A Joe in the Bush does the "both parties will be lynched" thing for tied votes also apply to larger ties, or will you randomly pick two? It's odd that you want to put your vote where it "won't do much damage". That feels like an excuse to not actually contribute. You also say that you don't feel strongly about any of the lynches, which is interesting. Maybe take a closer look at them? They'll definitely be important for analysis tomorrow.
