Is a team of Araris/Devo/Striker crazy enough to pull off a simultaneous reveal like this? Half joke, half sincere.
-
Alright, I think I'm officially back on the crazy train. Scoot over Kas.
-
Oh right, this? So Thaidakar, we don't really use evidence like that in these games out of good spirit. We let people's activity in thread / Player-to-Player-messages dictate our info, not something like viewing a PM. That said, it could very well be unrelated. A lot of players use PMs outside of games, and Archer could also be modifying his questions to ask Mat.
-
Fun! Thank you for sharing more (even though you could still be lying, but I'll take it at face value until we can prove it or prove otherwise). Who did you use your action on yesterday?
-
Neat. TY. Noting preference for Devo over Karn and lots of side votes. ED1T: Wondering if Devo will self-prez onto Karn.
-
Speaking of rollover, when is that again? Hour and fifteen minutes?
-
Hey idk man could just be a normal elim team of Devo/Karn/maybe Mat/Szeth. ED1T: RIP Page 12, STINK hardly knew ye
-
Don't worry, I think if there's a conversion mechanic in the game, it's probably that a Solo Epic has the power to Corrupt other Epics and the reason we didn't get a kill is because they went for a convert instead. Much easier to balance.
-
Like Orlok's tables but good enough ig ED1T: Also making me reconsider the corruption-over-time thing >>

-
I'll take that as confirmation your role didn't cause your own vote loss by some other means then.
-
@|TJ| could we get a vote count Mr. GM Dad TJ Sir?
-
Interesting. So either my vote was removed, or Tani's. @Tani you didn't Soothe your own vote, did you?
-
I meant eliminator is what we call people on the evil team hence shortening it to elim.
-
Elimination is the game, Eliminating is the goal, and Eliminator is the name. I'm personally of mind that either Devo or Karn is an eliminator, if not both of them.
-
Were you responsible for removing a vote, by any chance?
-
Fair enough. I cba summarizing rn but I'm sure someone wouldn't mind Makes sense it's fun! I heckin love EoD vote chaos, so I approve of this message! ED1T: TBH willing to village lean Tani for this. Araris is the only player who took my Karn bait that I would expect to do it from either alignment. As Stick pointed out from my last CFD, it can be extremely stressful for elims, since they care more about how it'll make them look, whereas Villagers have more dgad energy.
-
Speaking of wallposts kekw
-
I can want to do lots of things but I'm happiest with Devo or Karn rn ED1T: To clarify, y'all are seeing my solving process in real time at first I was down to aim for the low-active pool because I'm sure one of them is an elim, but that essentially boils down to a guessing game with little gain if they are Village. Meanwhile, I've worked my way to feeling pretty good about one of Devo/Karn being elim, if not both, and they've both done more to analyze. Plus I highly doubt they're both Village, so by encouraging both exes simultaneously, we should see who the elims favor. Or, better put, it's not even about info gain. It's about using the exe on the best elim!candidate.
-
If I like the topic, I do!
-
Oh definitely. Will have to try it some day
-
TBH I think this just needs to be the mindset everyone approaches these games. Friends first, Villagers/Elims second. Gentleman Killers ya'know. Fun over victory!
-
No promises there gotta see if I can pocket you despite the paranoia, y'know. But I promise to at least consider it
-
Holy chull, 7 years??? No wonder you're traumatized in both alignments. I really think that, while you hate it because of past experiences, you desperately need an elim game to get you out of your village guilt slump. Maybe a few elim games even. I think whenever we have too long a streak in either, our growth as a player stagnates and the stress of failure accumulates. Variety is the spice of life, and alignment variety is the spice of gameplay / sanity. Not giving a damn is great, 10/10, would recommend. Still doing something that was once fun but longer isn't is a sign of addiction and addiction is inherently self-destructive. Also expectations bad because like you pointed out, human beings are messy and can't always perform optimally, which is perfectly okay. We gotta be willing to give ourselves the same leeway that we'd give other people, which I think we both struggle doing IRL and IG. I'm confident you'll find the zen too just gotta follow the fun! Looking forward to it on two fronts then ED1T: Goodnight Ash! I'll probably stop constantly refreshing the page now, get something to eat, and play a few games of Valorant until more people wake up then. I'm sure people will be groaning about all the new pages we've made in their absence and will appreciate the break

2. The plausibility/possibility thing makes sense to me. IMO hardcore analysis is overrated anyway . As Mat proved, it comes with the expectation that every player will be logical and consistent, that they'll choose their words carefully, which Mat surely didn't while still giving me them Village feelz (which he's apparently got a history with, given his response to my tunnel by the end). Comparably, this Devo/Karn thing doesn't feel like a tunnel to me at least; I just have no other leads, and no one else seems to either, so why not, ya'know? At the end of the Cycle, we still got exe someone. I'd be very impressed if I could pull that off after my last elim game I definitely feel more comfortable and free in this one, which has made me aware of my failings in AG8 (like, I felt so much need as an elim to excuse myself every time I was absent, and now I really don't give a heck about how me not being around or posting looks). I also got super bogged down in ISOs I didn't even want to do but felt I needed to do to make myself look Village, and ended up being so behind that I couldn't participate much in the present, which is where I thrive as a player (TY MU Champs for introducing me to that playstyle). So basically no pocketing here, definitely not, nope, but next time I roll elim? Y'all better watch out
