Oxblood Beagle

The ghost became the body. The new body was not the body. The body was missing. The new body was found. The new body. The new body was not a corpse. The new body was light. The new body was small. The new body was not weak. The new body was not new. The new body was a gymnast. The new body was on a tightrope. The ghost could fly.

They broke at some point, I forget when

Luckily someone has the heart to tell Onyx that Onyx exists! Cerulean Squid would be a nice anon name, tbh. @Amethyst Scorpion, you still around? This does seem to be a fairly gambity game, now that I have time to think (citation needed). But also what to do, what to do. It's quiet uptown...

I try It's quiet on set, lemme see what I can do about that. Ivory Dragonfly for the Freestyle 200. Coral Swan for the Balance Beam.

I have been given the role of Referee! I have the ability to give a Yellow Card to a set of athletes participating in the Association Football, or the World Cup! The Captain, Goalkeeper, Midfielder, and Striker! Last I checked the World Cup and Olympics are different but perhaps there is some overlap!

The ghost is not dead. The ghost is alive. The ghost cannot touch. The body can. The ghost does not have the body. The body is missing. The ghost knows the body. The body is away. The ghost is present. The ghost is ready. The ghost is, excited! The body is missing. The ghost knows a body. The body is not a body. The ghost sees a body that is not the body. The ghost becomes a body. The ghost is ready. The ghost is a body. The ghost shall play.

I made it! I really made it! Wow I'm just so hyped! Everyone else is hyped right!

Woah how do you know that, NewPlayer123 ō_ō

OK here are my guesses:

@Devotary of Spontaneity ?

I only proposed a draw on D4 for village cred, I didn't actually mean it @ Scorp too. A win is a win, you should own it!! Technicalities are in place for a reason, and I did 'choose' the coinflip, in a way. I had some pretty insanely wrong ID reads during early game, especially for Cham lol. Really curious about Vulture.

I have some post-game thoughts but I can’t really share them before identities are revealed (because I’m so incredibly well-hidden) - so make haste with those votes yall

Oh well, the new tyian curse lives on I’ll pretend I didn’t know how this was going to end 24 hours ago when devo asked me how I wanted beagle to die ‘in case’ of a loss LOL GG! Great write ups btw @Devotary of Spontaneity (cool Avil Ejir reference)

Yeah I do think I was extremely findable there, and the goal in F3 was to flood the thread with whatever arguments I could come up with to keep Penguin on the defensive & busy responding to those over actually casing me or backreading too much

I'm a vanilla villager!

Yeah this was tiring. Losing two of our power roles to the filter before we got the chance to use them + being alive for so long meant I had 0 WiM especially at the end there. I hadn’t backread anything and was coming up with random arguments based off memory alone I was never going for a no-kill. My odds surely would’ve been lower than 50% if I went for that and also I’m all for ending these games quicker if I can

As I said in the elim doc I felt I was extremely outed based on the VCs since I voted on the wrong trains every time it mattered but surprisingly most people didn’t really notice idk lol. And we exe’d the few who dared notice Smoking Meerkat was big for us

Good Imagine being a Lurcher and dying to the coinshot you were protecting

Wait I was preparing to convince Cham to self vote in F2

? Mistborn is still a technical possibility, you can’t know the last elim is a smoker unless you are the last elim

What do you mean?

Don't remind me lol, I thought the game was functionally over or else I'd never self vote as either alignment. Because I v read you all game and will always put my personal read over Occam's Razor. Unless it's, you know, where we are now. Where I'm forced to re-evaluate after being wrong so many times. I guess I don't really see that as a balance problem when we had 2 village smokers and 1 village MB? An e!Seeker isn't really too much of a threat when there are 9 vanillagers, and realistically speaking village power roles usually tend to out themselves early anyway so I'm not sure how powerful an e!seeker is to begin with. Their posts this turn in isolation haven't been particularly inspiring but that doesn't really change the rest of their game, I don't think. I doubt they faked their reaction to Ostrich on D4 (D5?). That was/is the major selling point on v!Cham for me. What do you think their gameplan has been, if theyre elim Edit: Penguin I’ll just be real here, you can probably tell that I’ve made up my mind and things like this reinforce my view - because why are you questioning Chameleon here? You just analyzed the distro implications in depth and I’m surprised you aren’t just taking Cham’s thug claim at face value here given we had a coinshot, and only a single village protection role has flipped. 1.5 if you count the MB. A v!thug makes sense and is probably crucial to a coinshot distro, especially when the elim team had one too. Even I can see the sense in that and like I keep saying I’m not a distro speculation person. So why haven’t you clocked this yet? When you specifically spent time looking over the distro and the flipped roles? Does the village get a coinshot with just one Lurcher for protection against both that and the NK? Highly unlikely. I’m not a protection role. You aren’t a protection role. Cham’s a claimed protection role since D1 (that’s when they claimed to Mouse I think).

If I were e!Alb I would've 100% expected that wagon to go away after the reversal. It's incredible that it didn't, and like I said I still dont really know why. We had a coinshot who could've taken care of something like that. Well yeah, they wouldn't explicitly call the vote 'self pres' because that would mean TMI'ing Ostrich v. Scorp is a flipped villager - his reaction to Ostrich's gambit was unique and Alb could've easily played along with a perspective like that going 'I don't believe this is real either, so I'm going to vote X instead' because they are seeing a villager reacting exactly like that to Ostrich's claim & not receiving flak for it, and they could've easily used the existing momentum of Scorp's view if they wanted. E!Alb leaving the thread with 3-2-2 wagons knowing that Ostrich is faking concession makes absolutely no sense. What's weirder is that Alb didn't comment on Ostrich's thing at all. Why? I have no idea. I want to say it's because he was hoping for Ostrich to retract the claim while he was on so he wouldn't have to deal with it at all but who knows. All I can gather from this is that Alb could've easily justified a vote on your CW using Scorp's logic or something similar, but he didn't. Yes I don't know. Distro analysis has never been my strong suit. Maybe you're a Mistborn? Oh I wish, I do not have the stamina for that. I'd rather ask my teammates to bus me so they're in a good spot and I'm out of the game asap lol. Suuure I do think you played really well, fwiw.

No, my point is, when Albatross left for the cycle this was the VC: Now obviously Ostrich is in the lead but Alb and you were just one vote away. Except, e!Alb should know that Ostrich is not in fact an elim conceding but a villager doing whatever test, and he’d have expected the Ostrich train to dissipate once Ostrich came clean. And when the lead train dissipates, the counter wagons take lead. I’m not sure why people kept their votes on Ostrich there after the reveal because it would’ve been more productive to leave him alive for Zebra to shoot later if he didn’t get us an elim exe’d that day (e!Ostrich pretending to be a villager is also good to keep around for another turn to better gauge his interests and find partners, but I digress). So why does Alb not self pres on to the Penguin train? It doesn’t matter at what point they cast their Lion vote, but the fact that they left it there. Alb for sure would have expected the counter wagons to take the lead sooner or later and he was one of them, only one vote behind Ostrich, at the point where he left the thread. Edit: Oh, and this is something that had totally slipped my mind until now but: @Pearl Chameleon remember back on D1 when Penguin was receiving some votes, they created a group PM at EoD with you, me, and Falcon? And the PM that they sent really looked like they were softing a power role in RP form? That was why I entered N1 defending Penguin. Because I thought they were claiming coinshot or Mistborn or something. But clearly not, because all that group PM was meant to do was make us think this was the case to have us help Penguin out of the D1 exe. Because it certainly worked on me except I didn’t see the PM until the Night turn lol. That’s why I asked falcon why he left his vote on Penguin d1 despite what I perceived to be obvious softing of an important role. Penguin did claim smoker a couple of turns later but I never really thought back to this group PM until now, because in hindsight it really looks like an agenda’d attempt at making us vote to save Penguin during the eod.
