Well Sorian is confirmed town by now and I'm not sure if Splinter was his only shot. May be worth risking a Janitor kill.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
God dammit, I'm still fucked here though too. Sorian agrees that I'm Scum too. God dammit. This all fucked.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Like, I was just about to post a huge read list, and I just deleted the whole thing because I don't know what the fuck to say in there because everything is just going to be scrutinized to the max. I'm already dead.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
If Sorian agrees that Splinter was trying to save me after trying to bus me, then yeah, I think I'm dead. I'm pretty sure that's what people are thinking.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
Yeah looks pretty grim. I would be very suspicious if someone tried to lynch someone but backed down almost immediately once the lynch becomes actually viable.
But we'll just have to make the best of it. I believe KetKat has been largely town read so far and Nin hasn't been considered a viable lynch target yet.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I think the three of you should be fine for a while still, but there's a good chance that me and Splinter go back to back here if Sorian jumps on board the scum read of me.

And yeah, as for Faddy, I don't know how much longer he Town reads me for. It depends on Sorian I think.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yep, I'm dead. :(

Sorry guys, I fucked up. You three should be fine, but Sorian is on to Nin too.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I don't know if it's worth it to kill Sorian. If the Protector can give out another one, then he'll probably get it tonight.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Faddy, stop lol. Like, I appreciate it, and if people actually believe you then my god thanks, but man, I'm so Scum.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Huh...

Now that I think about it, if we can get both the Lie and Secret Vote tomorrow, it might at least buy me another day. Would people believe the red check, or the scum read on me? That's the question. It would also be the most highly suspect situation in the world, but what else can happen? I'd probably die in the Secret Vote, and if we don't use it tomorrow, we don't use it at all. If, however, we issue the Fake Red Check as well, now there is something else there.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
However, I probably do get role blocked again tonight. I don't think they'd have a better target.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
Problem is if you get lynched anyway we will probably have another confirmed town.
Or you could give the red check on one of us and claim the amnestic cop. If you get lynched the target will probably get some town cred and if the target is lynched, you get the town cred.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yeah, I'm thinking about targets right now.

I think if I deploy the Amnesiac Cop gambit, it will be too suspect for Faddy to receive the results here. I would want it to go to someone like Kalor maybe, or even Fireblend. If people go for the check, then the mislynch happens, it might put attention on them before me in that case.

Not sure who should be the target of the Fake Red Check though yet. Melon is still on the table in my mind, personally. Also Verelios though.
 

nin1000

Chilean German Madman
I still think that after today there will be someone else getting lynched before you.
Trust in yourself and your skills Fantomas!
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I don't blame you. Just make sure you actually vote for me this time, because I don't think it looks good that you didn't vote me yesterday.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Also just for the record, I'm already planning to change up how I play next game regardless of my alignment. I've got some new plans in mind. I don't think I can keep up this kind of act as Scum in the future again, so that means my Town game needs to be altered as well.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yeah, I think I should use the Lie on either Melon or Stan. I wanna use it on Melon so bad, god lol. It sucks I'm like 90% going to get role blocked though.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
God dammit. I am just so fucking dead, I can't do shit about it. Like, I just can't help it. I don't know what to do. I am obviously falling apart yeah, I have no idea what to say right now. I just feel really bad that I fucked things up for us all so much yesterday. Fuck me.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I don't know, I feel like I should just dip out of the thread for the rest of the day, there's no point. It's only going to take Faddy a few more posts to realize he's wrong about me. There's nothing I can say in my defense. Anything I could try to do would be seen as scummy. I'd rather just let them get it over with at this point. I wish I could die today instead of Splinter, that would have worked out so much better.
 

nin1000

Chilean German Madman
taking some time off is very important.
Thats what i do most of the time if i am town.
play a bit and relax outside :)
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I'm trying to compose a response to melon here about me being uncomfortable with the game in general. I hope it comes across as at least a little bit towny. I doubt melon buys it, but others might at least.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Fuck it, I'll post this and probably dip out for a bit, I don't know what else to say in my defense but here goes nothing.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yeah I saw that. I can only hope by maybe getting melon to start talking about other people I can not be a topic for a bit and hop in again later. I dont know, I'm just so uncomfortable talking about myself in there right now.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Faddy is the only person who thinks I'm town still though, so no one gives a shit what I have to say. :(

I don't have the balls to call out LP, he'll murder me.

I don't want to bus any of you, I've already fucked things up enough for us.

you did not "fuck" anything up Fantomas.
Again get out of that hole of yours.
I know its tough and scary but be FREE.
Enjoy the game and be FREE my friend
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
If I didn't have this stupid 1-Shot Bulletproof, I would suggest myself as a Janitor Kill target for tonight. That would fuck with Town a lot, and you guys don't need me anymore.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I just don't know what to say. I'm scum and everyone knows it. Almost everyone has committed to voting for me ASAP. What more can I do? This day is pointless because it's going to end with Splinter dying eventually. Tomorrow is pointless because I'll get roleblocked and everyone will just turbo me.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Remaining players who think I am Scum:
Verelios
Sorian
Kalor
melonrabbit
Fireblend
Lone_Prodigy

Remaining players who haven't had a firm opinion on me:
StanleyPalmtree
TheChuggernaut
Terraforce

Remaining players who think I'm Town:
Faddy
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Then go ahead and add you three to the "thinks I am scum" list too since you might as well all fall in line with that read soon.

So that makes it 9 players who think I'm scum, 3 who don't really know, and 1 who town reads me.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I failed you in GoT, and now I have failed you again here Nin. I'm so sorry.

I'll maybe try to cool down and get in the thread again later. I just feel so bad right now, and I can't bring myself to try playing while I feel like this.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
You didn't fuck anything up. Even if you are lynched tomorrow, the game isn't lost yet.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
What makes me feel the worst, is that people are scum reading me for my votes on D2, and I don't think Town-Me plays D2 any differently really in all honesty.

So basically, I'm just being told that I fucking suck at the game, and they're right, I made awful posts and awful plays pretty much all of D2. I was so confident that I knew what I was doing, but I literally have no clue what I'm doing, I'm just pretending like I do.

I think I just need to not play for a long time, like months, or even a year maybe, and just watch games in spec threads instead until I actually learn how to play correctly, because I'm just out here winging it, and it's clearly not doing me, or in this case my scum teammates, any favors at all.
 

Franconp

Ok, I'm just going to say a little something:

Fanto I don't think you have played badly this time. You just had bad luck and we really screwed up thing the last phase. I'm very sorry about that. But you shouldn't feel that bad about yourself. To me you were one of the best players during GoT and in this game you are making a really good effort. Also not everything is lost yet, things can change pretty quickly in mafia. Obviously this is up to you but I really hope that you join us in other games as is really fun watching you play.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I appreciate the thoughts, and I know it's not all lost yet.

I guess I just need to figure out a new way to look at the game so I can figure out what to do next, because right now it's tough for me to think of a way out of this hole. But yeah, I won't give up yet, I just need a new plan.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I think my new plan needs to involve not posting.

Like, I'll make 10 posts each phase. Maybe 11.

But I really need to stop. fucking. posting.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Verelios
Sorian
Kalor
melonrabbit
Fireblend
Lone_Prodigy
StanleyPalmtree
TheChuggernaut
Terraforce
Faddy

Ok, so this is the list of players, besides us and Poltergust, who are left in the game. Who does everyone want to kill out of that list? Maybe we should each pick one person we'd want, and then a back-up as well.

At this point, I'm just feeling spiteful. I want to kill either Verelios or Melon, period. I don't care how badly it reflects on me. So this kill should probably be left up to y'all to decide instead. I personally think either would be fine for a Janitor kill.

If we do want to risk the kill attempt on Sorian, definitely make it a Janitor kill. His role was so weird, no one in this game deserves to actually read that PM until the game is over lol.
 

Splinter

Lord of Volcano Island
Don't be so hard on yourself Fanto, you're a great player. Everyone gets scumread. We've just been unlucky here in the way it's played out.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Hmm, Kalor might be the roleblocker. I was going to see who would first mention the possibility of a Town Roleblocker, because there is no reason to think that first when it's such a common Mafia role. Also, I can see Kalor blocking Terra N1 and me N2.
 
Yeah, you've been playing a pretty fantastic game Fanto. And it's not like its over yet. We still have some options available to us, and if we can get that red check out there, then that might be able to shift things in our favor some and away from you.

I'm not really sure who we should kill yet, but we'll definitely want to use the red check and my power tonight at the least.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
Sorian would be my choice for the night kill, but I agree that he is now the prime target for protection. Fantomas, you said you still have the 1-shot bulletproof from N1. So it's not just active on the night you receive it, but also on other nights? Or is there a time restriction? If it's active indefinitely it seams kind of a strong power to have more than a few shots, so maybe the protector is already out of shots.

Next on the list for me would be Verelios or TheChuggernaut.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yeah, the Bulletproof is active until it gets used. The wording in the PM makes it sound like if I get targeted for a Kill then it will automatically protect me from it instead. So yeah, the Protector probably has 1 or 2 of those to give out is my guess.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
And I'm still struggling to think of someone besides Faddy who would have given me that power on N1.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
Yes, that would also explain why he is defending you so adamantly, since he would otherwise have wasted his shot.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
Speaking of Faddy, he might also be a viable kill target tonight. I don't feel anyone really wants to scum read him despite his connection to Fantomas.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
The only explanation I can think of if it was someone other than Faddy is that they figured with Faddy and Sorian both giving reasons to not be targeted, I might have been the next most Towny based on D1 performance, so they figured Scum might shoot me?
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
My current feels on night actions:

Kill: Sorian (Janitor)
Red Check: Melon (Send to ???)
Track: Nin's Choice.

And then of course use the Secret Vote.

So that should mean we are all using our abilities tonight, with Malus applying his Janitor Modifier to the kill. I think we should really use one of our Janitor shots here regardless of who we target.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
And to explain why I think we should kill Sorian, it's because of all the players around, he will probably be the one to keep his head on straight the most of we do end up with the Red Check + Secret Vote combo tomorrow. He'd probably tell everyone to not vote for the Red Check and to make their votes known in the thread regardless of how the Secret Vote mechanic works. I don't think anyone else would be able to convince people to do that though.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
I agree with that. I don't know how long I still survive so it will be best to use my janitor kills as soon as possible.
About the red check, not sure who to send it to. If you are going to claim the cop you should probably not send it to faddy, but someone random, that is generally neutral or town read. I would expect if you can choose who it is sent to that you would send it to sorian, who is 100% town, so it may be better to claim that you can't choose who receives the result.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yeah, I'm thinking I don't claim until I'm actually up for a lynch, and then I can go back and claim credit for it with my breadcrumb and see how that goes. Otherwise, I kind of want to just let it happen.

As for who to send it to, yeah, my one worry is sending it to someone who doubts its validity right away. I'd rather send it to someone who will just be open about it.

Currently, I'm leaning towards handing it to Chuggernaut. I don't think he would hide that info, and I don't think anyone would have a major reason to doubt him initially at least. After it proves to be false, he could definitely get some shade on him for it I think.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Poor Terraforce, I'm like 99.9% sure his role is bullshit lol. If he does check one of you two, maybe people will buy his "Not Alien" check for a day or two at least haha.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Also, one final RIP to Splinter.

It was fun playing on the Scum Team with you, sorry you had to go out like this. Looking forward to playing with you again some time. :)
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Also we have the 48 hour weekend night phase here, so no need to rush on our night actions. I'd like to take the time to hear everyone's input on targets for the Kill and the Lie, and since Nin said in the game thread he wasn't feeling well again he can go ahead and take all the time he wants to think about who he wants to Track tonight.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
I guess it would be kind of mean if we now killed Polter with our night kill, but it sure would be funny.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
But he is now basically vanilla town so we better focus on other, more valuable targets
 
That's pretty surprising that Polter lived. I was really hoping that Splinter was going to get to take someone with him!

I'm going to take a little bit of time to think about who we should kill and frame and then I'll post about it here, but if we do end up killing Sorian, then I'm not sure there's much use in using the Janitor power on him. We definitely should be using it more often, since its kind of wasted otherwise, but I don't see a huge benefit in using it on someone who has likely revealed everything they can do to the whole game. At the very least, it'll leave Town guessing as to how many powers we have that they haven't discovered yet if we have to hold on to it for now.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Yeah, good point about that, we really wouldn't need to use the Janitor on Sorian if we do settle on him.

I suppose maybe if we end up Tracking someone successfully again we could consider using a Janitor shot on them.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
And speaking of the Track, I would like to ultimately leave it up to Nin just because the Blarg pick on D1 was pretty good, but I'd like to hear thoughts on that note I made about Kalor possibly being the roleblocker. Might be worth it to track him, especially if one of us gets roleblocked again, because that could confirm that theory. But yeah, up to Nin in the end though.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Oh, hi, yeah I'm here too, just working on some homework but I'll be checking in here too now that people are posting.

I'm still leaning towards putting the fake red check on Melon, but I'm still not sure who I should send it to. Would like to hear thoughts on that if anyone has ideas.
 
Looking at the list of people that we could go for, I think it might be beneficial to try and take out some of the confirmed town that are around. Or at the very least trusted people. Being able to janitor scrub someone that we're not entirely sure on and can leave town in the dark with could be beneficial, but we need to narrow down the list of people that they can trust and look towards for guidance.

I think I'd be okay with a Sorian, Polter, or Terra for tonight. I think that Sorian is going to stay as a trusted town for the rest of the game, and might have someone protecting him tonight, but he's absolutely going to be a huge problem for us. Polter should also end up being confirmed town from this, and there's a possibility that he also had two powers, and was just keeping one hidden. And Terra is at the very least making people think that he's a vanilla town, although there could still be something out there that he could find I'm not too worried about it.

I'd really be fine with any of those three. Killing Polter might be a little mean, but I think he might be the safest pick from those. Is there anyone that you're all leaning towards?
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I do agree that killing Polter here would be a bit mean, but I also agree with the logic behind it and him being the safest pick for sure.

Maybe some pros/cons for killing each?

Sorian
Pros: Killing a basically Confirmed Town. Zero mislynch potential. Has strong solving skills. Has mentioned almost all of us as possible suspects.
Cons: Could be protected. Is likely Vanilla now.

Poltergust
Pros: Killing a basically Confirmed Town. Next to zero mislynch potential. Might have a second hidden power like Splinter did. Still wants to vote for me.
Cons: Mean kill, will need to apologize after the game. Could be essentially Vanilla.

Terraforce
Pros: Killing a basically Confirmed Town.
Cons: Could still have mislynch potential. Could still help to find a Neutral faction. Could be essentially Vanilla.

Out of those three, I would lean to the Sorian or Polter kill, with Polter being the safer but meaner one.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Unless there are some pros to killing Terra that I'm just not seeing, from what I can tell it's pretty much that his role makes him most likely to be Town, but some people still doubt him so I see mislynch potential there still possibly.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Just to get the list back in front of us again:

RED = Ketkat's Kill Suggestions
PINK = Fake Red Check Target
BLUE = Possible Recipient of Fake Red Check

Verelios
Sorian
Kalor
melonrabbit
Fireblend
Lone_Prodigy
StanleyPalmtree
TheChuggernaut
Terraforce
Faddy
Poltergust

This is how I'm viewing our Night right now. Unless someone can come up with a better fake red check target for me, I'm putting it on Melon. As for the recipient, I'm thinking about either sticking with sending it to Faddy, or else another common-but-not-totally-confirmed Town read that people have, like Vere or Chugg.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
I would still go for Sorian. Was the bulletproof you received also active on the night you received it? Otherwise Sorian at least won't be protected by the same person since he won't have received it before tonight if at all.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I would assume it was. If someone would have targeted me for a kill, I would guess that the Bulletproof that I received on the same night would have canceled it out.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
I don't think we can affird to keep Sorian alive indefinitely, so we'll still have to go for him at one point or another. If he receives the same protection as you, it really doesn't matter when we do it so we might as well do it now.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
Agreed. Would like to hear Nin's thoughts first before we pull the trigger, but if he's down as well then I'd say go ahead and do it.
 

nin1000

Chilean German Madman
i would suggest NOT killing sorian tonight, since he will most probably get protected.
my suggestion would be.
go for L_P or Fireblend, Chugger if you feel like it or even Poltergust.

after yesterday town will do everything in their night power to keep him alive.
would be a dumb move to try to kill him tonight, since everyone will be at his place.
No kill is a wasted kill
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
I am 100% down for a kill on L_P that's for sure. I'm pretty sure my stance on that has been made known in this thread lol.
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
If we go L_P or Fireblend, I suppose we should use the Janitor shot there to reduce info further?
 

nin1000

Chilean German Madman
Faddy : is a strong voice
Melon : is seen as crazy, sometimes town aswell

let me check who is in the game aswell to see who it might suit
 

nin1000

Chilean German Madman
Faddy is great. After thinking about it some more, i considered Verelios but Faddy is more of a strong voice
 

nin1000

Chilean German Madman
yep, sorry about that i checked it and it is a 1 shot.
if we think about the worst case scenario this will be your last night.

You sending the Red melon check to Faddy will be good.
 

malus

#1 official chartmaker
I don't feel great about it, but I see your point. So should I go for Fireblend or Lone_Prodigy?
 

Fanto

Confirmed Town
My vote would be for L_P out of those two, but I'd be fine with Fire as well if the rest of you would rather go that way.
