GOOD LUCK, FEBE

You may now perform both the factional kill and your role action in the same night, since you are #foreveralone.
 
So here's where we stand:

EzekelRAGE: Neighbour
Fantomas: Neighbour
Aeleus: ???
Vincent Alexander: ???
WhySoDevious: Double voter
CaptainNuevo: radio owner
Lone_Prodigy: ???
Ynnek7: cop
flatearthpandas: vanilla (was townie vig)
 
In order of reliability, these are the good ones:
  • Someone tried to recruit you last night.
  • You were hypnotized into sleepwalking and visited X player last night.
  • You have a feeling someone was watching you last night.
  • You sensed people discussing you last night.
 
There's a gambit-ass gambit here, in which I could kill anyone but Ynnek, and then hypnotize Ynnek into believing they sleepwalked and visited me last night.
This would make it so I would be super confirmed. But that's not really needed, as long as town doesn't believe I have a role that allows me to send fake mod messages that aren't even formatted as messages.

Plus Town Follower Fireblend would know not to target ynnek, who's obviously scum's NK tonight.

So, let's kill Ynnek.

Kill: Ynnek7

So, who to "recruit".

Town Follower Fireblend would target someone they trust, or maybe someone who could be held accountable. I'm torn between Zeke and Fanto here. Fanto might actually be the best alternative, seeing how things went so well the first time I tried to turn him into a follower.

Hypnotize: Fantomas
  • Someone tried to recruit you last night.
Oh man, I hope I get a "confirmed town" gif from Fantomas. Getting one as scum might be an achievement greater than winning.

These will do for now. I might change my mind.
 
Ok I made the math and I have to survive for 4 day phases.
That's 264 hours.
All the while fighting with "why did you not get NK'd" and "Why do these actions not correspond to anyone's role" questions.
Whew.

Let's do this.
 
I just realized using the recruitment thing will make players assume there's some sort of backup for Zeke's recruitment shot, or, worst case scenario, have doubts about me. So I'll switch it for the sleepwalking one once I get to the office.
 
Now I'm second guessing myself.
I feel like I need to send a message now, because if I don't, and there's someone watching Ynnek for visitors, I'm not going to be able to deny having been there (I won't be able to deny it either way but at least it will look weird that I was in 2 places at the same time). I could not send a message and say I targeted Ynnek with the info, but there's no way town Fireblend would believe Ynnek would live past yesterday.

That leaves those top 2 messages, the recruitment and sleepwalking one. Making people think there's a recruitment backup isn't that bad, but It'd be weird for scum to target Fanto with a recruit action, since he's so obviously interested in getting rid of scum, and it makes little sense for town Fireblend to turn someone that's scumread into a follower. It'd be better to use a sleepwalking action, making someone walk to Ynnek, which makes sense for a scum team trying to frame someone. But:

1. Why try to frame Fantomas?
2. If there's someone checking Ynnek visitors, that they didn't see the sleepwalker is another inconsistency I'll have to deal with.

I'll just have to run with it. If there's someone watching Ynnek for visitors, then I'm already done for anyway, even if people don't believe them for a couple of phases.

Hypnotize: Fantomas
  • You were hypnotized into sleepwalking and visited Ynnek7 last night.
It also doesn't escape me that even if all goes well, this is going to make players believe there's at least 2 scum remaining, and that's gonna look odd when endgame comes.

God I hope there are no more info roles in this game :(

After the game I'd be interested to hear how others would have handled this. I'm starting to think I'm not going to last that long.
 
As time passes I'm feeling less hopeful about this working. I should be able to make it through at least another day right?
 
Yeah I guess you're right. It's just, there's a ton of uncertainty and I don't know if I have it in me to even trace the correct path to victory. I hesitate so much :(

YOU CAN DO THIS, FEBE!

At least don't give up on yourself before the day starts. You have no idea where people are at after the last phase. SO GO FIND OUT

rah rah rah
 
Here's my plan for today:
1. Not die
2. Lynch VA or Aeleus
3. Submit a NK for Fantomas or another confirmed townie, but probably Fanto.

Bonus:
4. Remain convincing
5. Get more roleclaims
6. Breadcrumb being an X-shot/being out of shots
 
Lynch Aeleus
Kill Captain

Lynch VA/L_P
Kill Fanto

Lynch VA/L_P
Kill FEP

Lynch Zeke

I win.
That's the plan. It might work, I'm not super confident about getting that last lynch, but eh.
 
Also, for Kopite and Z-Beat: I don't think getting that extra recruit shot would've helped much, considering VA was already widely suspected. So don't feel bad about that alright? :)

edit: turns out gifs for cheering someone on are all pretty much drinking and toasting so uh have some drinking and toasting gifs
 
From what Aeleus is saying, people might be more willing to lynch Zeke than VA. By that point I expect the game to be in chaos. Leaving this note here for later.
 
I was so sure VA was bullshitting. There's no way Monkey names that role "Army Vet" instead of "Paranoid Gun Owner" like mafiascum recommends.
 
I don't want to be the one to say that VA's role only matters if we lynch him before lylo.

Also, nothing gets past Fanto, damn. That green check-recruiter interaction observation is why he's a better player than me.
 
The sleepwalker thing confirms Zeke and Captain as town; it'd be very unlikely for Cap to perform 3 night actions, and for Zeke to be a scum neighbour *and* have another ability on top of that.
I could maybe argue WSD's double vote could be another JoaT action, used before MYLO/LYLO at which point it'd most likely be disabled as an option.
 
I should kill Captain. That way I can pretend later that I wanted to coincide targets with him so my role could be verified, being the only other targeting power (other than the JoaT/hypnotist) in the game, but him being dead makes that impossible.
 
Today + tonight:
EzekelRAGE: Neighbour
Fantomas: Neighbour
Aeleus: Odd night commuter (Lynched)
flatearthpandas: Used vig
Fireblend: Genius Schemer
Vincent Alexander: Beloved Child
WhySoDevious: Double Vote
CaptainNuevo: Message Sender (Night kill)
Lone_Prodigy: Vanilla Townie

D5 + N5:
EzekelRAGE: Neighbour
Fantomas: Neighbour (Night kill)
Fireblend: Evil Scum
Vincent Alexander: Beloved Child
WhySoDevious: Double Vote
Lone_Prodigy: Vanilla Townie (Lynched)

D6 + N6:

EzekelRAGE: Neighbour
flatearthpandas: Used vig (Night kill)
Fireblend: Charming Villain
Vincent Alexander: Beloved Child <-- Hammer if possible.
WhySoDevious: Double Vote (Lynched? Zeke is another alternative but I should argue against their lynch given what I said above)

D7:
EzekelRAGE: Neighbour
Fireblend: Evil Scum
Vincent Alexander: Beloved Child (Lynched)

My reason for night killing Fanto before FEP is that if I leave it for when Fanto and I are the only super-trusted people left, that might put me in the spotlight in an awkward way, seeing how I'm the better role?
I can also ague that after cap was killed, my role was useless (other than the JoaT thing) and if both Zeke and Fanto are town, then it makes sense that their role would be the stronger one between us two.
We'll see how things shift going forward.
 
It'd be nice if Aeleus or L_P flipped recruitable so Fanto could be 100% confirmed, making him the better NK option vs me.
 
Actually, Captain gets to send a new message tonight. I should claim I'm out of shots if pressured from now on to avoid any potential contradiction. He's probably targeting Fanto tonight.
 
Whenever I post in the game thread, picture me writing a post, deleting it, and then starting over at least 6 times.
 
Kill: CaptainNuevo

T'was a pleasure playing with you again, cap. Please target me tonight so I know I can continue faking having useless unlimited shots.
 
Also, it doesn't escape me that I mis-named my role. It should be Voyeur-maker (voyeurizer?), not follower. Ah well.
 
I hope you're enjoying this spec chat. I know if I win it will be because of luck, my voting record is terrible and if people paid attention to those calling to disregard the roles I'd be toast.
So I promise to only gloat for like 3 weeks or so.

If you win, maybe we'll throw a lot of pizza emoji at you.

If you lose, we'll just mock you.

NO PRESSURE.
 
Lynching VA today is such a bad move! It's gonna help me blend in with the NKs so easily. Also now I can kill Fanto and it will make sense from both scum!WSD and scum!LP perspective as an attempt to frame Zeke.

Fun.
 
ugh, are they gonna lynch me in endgame, I thought we were set for a VA lynch. Oh well, I made it to lylo at least :D
 
This has been a great game. Town played really well, my partners did too, I think I didn't do too bad. Whatever happens, this was fun :)
