Spectator Thread Wait, who is the Tanner? Whoa...

thanks topo

ive been going back and forth on whether or not i believe spots claim
but what a way to start a game

13 players probably means Coolspot's claim, like all day 0 claims, is complete nonsense. I actually think this is a scum move. The meta from the last couple of games where this happened is that a townie did it. I think Coolest might be trying to swerve on that strategy.

Weemad is putting in a lot of "effort" when there is so little to work with. They are on my radar.

yeah i can see that

salva claimed to have an egg d1(they actually had one) and lasted the whole game
i can see coolest using this claim to last late game as scum

but if no one receives a message or receives one and doesn't say anything it puts him in pretty big risk
probably safer to just lynch them right now

unless he is a weird neutral role

salva made the claim d1 in beserk mafia i should have said

I read part of Beserk then noped out after day 2. Too much nonsense going on to try and follow when I wasn't playing.

I actually thought of this just now. He's a smart player - he'd do something like this. I wish I had seen his flip, but I can't blame them for voting an inactive townie out on D1.

These spread shot vote tables make me so nervous.

I think it sort of helps. You see the moves and there is a decent chance scum is spooked that they have a chance of being lynched.

Like Fandorin is out there if CoolestSpot is scum. I also find CS giving up with 10 minutes to go to be overly dramatic.

He did lean on that a bit during Berserk as well, haha.

So were you going to investigate Geno or did you want to stack your votes on someone who you thought was town?
 

Swamped

We wanted to investigate Ynnek actually, given that he was super under the radar and unlikely to get voted on (i think). Geno... Meh, for me he was just a D1 read. I'm thinking he's town now.

I really want them to vote Spot out today XD

Spot does seem to be attempting to pocket Fandorin.

The other notable thing for me is Turmoil who almost comes across as bragging about his kill in his opening post. And then the quick set up on Geno. Although it is perhaps more work than scum should be doing. And now he is pro-Fandorin as well.
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
I'd be interested to see if anyone else gets on board with Ynnek's idea of Castamere being the supposed third party. Nicole seems to be the only one so far, although she did 'follow along' quite a bit on the first day. I see it as a bit of a 'thinking aloud' idea on Ynnek's part rather than a serious suggestion, so I wonder if there'll be any effort to push the notion?

Not now that CoolestSpot has said his play was a gambit.

And giving up on his gambit so early is more narrative that CS is scum. He would rather survive than hold his gambit.

Yeah. And even if he was town, his gambit was apparently fruitless. They should just lynch him to clear the air today.

And once again gambits are proven to be bad. Also hammering yourself as Town is also bad.
 

cabot

Why.
Bloody self hammers.


My alarms were going off when I saw CSpot saying he wanted to control the game. I was actually reading him as neutral after that.


Personally I think the people pushing Geno are more suspicious. Scum would know CSpot was Town and could avoid taking heat for his lynch, and he was a player that muddied the waters, which is sweet sweet goodness for scum.


Geno's trying to solve, which is scum bad sauce.
 

cabot

Why.
Nicole is fairly scummy to me right now, her whole explanation on the CS/Geno thing conveniently cleared CS in the case of a town Geno flip, but she never seemed to clear Geno if the opposite occurred.
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
Not really surprised to see Spot hammer himself given that he said he always had a sacrifice play in mind - I just hope it works out as he planned. I can't help feel that something's a little 'off' with weemad's accusation of Geno being too 'self-focused' - although that's probably because that's the same suggestion that was made against me in Cluedo! I personally wouldn't rule Geno out as scum straight away, but I'd exercise extreme caution with that - he does seem like too easy a target at the moment for my liking.
 

Splinter

Lord of Volcano Island
Please don't self-vote as town -.-

I understand the good intention of the gambit, but unlike Terra's Berzerk gambit it only leads to mechanic/role speculation, which is an absolute gold mine for scum to blend in with.

Agree with Cabot/swamped, Nicole's argument boiled down to "if you mislynch CSpot first then you might not mislynch Geno!".

That implies Geno is town, we're boned.
 

Splinter

Lord of Volcano Island
Weemad was making every excuse to not place a real vote this day end. Maybe I missed him saying he's ok with both options but it looks bad to me.
 

Faddy

Nicole either typed all that up quickly or her post was prepared like she knew what the outcome of the night actions would be.
 
I like the cut of Nicole's jib. If she's scum and this is orchestrated, amazing. If not, it's still a nice move.

She's misguided in a lot of places, though. Her reasoning against Geno is so weak. Even if he ends up flipping scum, him going after CSpot the way he did is not at all indicative of his allegiance. Scum theoretically would love to keep CSpot alive and on the spotlight.
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
Gutsy move from Nicole, there. When I tried that in Cluedo - a pre-typed post with an immediate vote, a claim and naming the scum team - it was out of 'make a move or get mislynched and we lose' mentality, so I'm curious as to her motivations here. I'm not actually sure what she's trying to gain in doing so, actually - surely taking a slow approach and re-confirming her suspicions from yesterday would have been just as credible. All I know is that if she's town and there are two kills on N3, good luck getting out of that one...
 

cabot

Why.
Don't believe Nicole right now.

- Why would scum target her? She was middle of the pack and fairly suspicious
- Assuming all scum dive into a town lynch wagon is foolish.
- As has been said, scum would have no reason to push for CSpot's lynch. That kind of player is beneficial to scum. Town have plenty reason to though.
- I think one of her scum reads is probably a team mate, leaning on fandorin
- I think weemad is possible also, their interactions with each other have been odd.
- She set up a lynch chain after CSpot, which is never good.
 

cabot

Why.
This is frustrating, no one has even asked for more details on Nicoles claim.


These are basic things to do as Town. They just believe her.
 

cabot

Why.
Well there were like 5 or 6 posts since day start where everyone seemed to be ok for geno being lynched.
 

cabot

Why.
yeah time saying we lynch the tracker claim is pretty dumb.

Scum should be the ones who decide whether he lives or dies.
 

Sawneeks

Having just skimmed, I'd lynch Nicole just based on the timing of her big opening post of this Day Phase.

Unless she's just a really really fast typer she knew the results of the Night Phase before making that whole post, quotes and all.
 

cabot

Why.
Also how did she know her BP was used.

You know that isn't super common. I still don't buy her as a NK.
 

cabot

Why.
Town should be asking these questions s but instead we get them circling around geno, a scum tracker in this small game is OP, and to fake claim tracker is pretty bold. Save him for the night phase let scum decide to take the risk of keeping f him alive.
 

Alexem

Yeah, I'm town
I see that Fireblend has just started to ask about the finer details of Nicole's claim. What's the betting that's going to get covered up with 'never mind her, what about Geno'?

110% that will happen.

Febe is playing a lot like he does when Town so I think he's good there, also wouldn't be surprised if most of this circular talk is all Town too. Scum might just be sitting this out and occasionally poking the conversation back at Geno if he's actually Town.
 

Sawneeks

little green dog
I'd love to say that if Nicole is actually lying then she will get lynched eventually ( why are you still alive blah blah ), but recent Town records have me doubting that. :x
 

cabot

Why.
Kinda weird that she replied to Topo but never responded to Febe with the info about her claim.


She needs some pushing me thinks.


My current scum team is kalor/weemad/nicole
 
Hmmm... I think Nicole would know if she was hit during the Night phase. I was BP in Berserk and I would've gotten a notification.

If she's lying... They're in MyLo? Because there's no way she doesn't get lynched in case two people die tomorrow. Seems like such a weird gambit.

And if Geno's town, he's awful at defense. Bringing up roleblocker and ninja? Come on...
 

cabot

Why.
he really shouldn't need to defend himself. Killing a claimed tracker in this game which has shown to have a very limited cop is very bad.


Why is scum!Time bussing Geno right now?

Scum!Time eager to waste Town!Geno when there's likely Doctor still roaming at night makes a hell of a lot more sense.
 

cabot

Why.
I mean I'm still unsure of a BP claim at all in this game, though the Lovers may point to it existing.


It's definitely mod discretion though. I've had BP roles in my games and I wouldn't have notified the player had they been consumed.
 

cabot

Why.
Time really is messing with my guesstimate scum team though,

If scum, it makes sense to push a Geno lynch.

If town, he doesn't seem to be making a real effort to think through scenarios.


Time is usually a solid player (if low-activity), he's made some frankly bizarre errors in this game that make me lean scum than silly Town
 
They could be pushing for a lynch against scum Geno to gain town's favor for the rest of the game. They're one or at most two mislynches away from victory.
 

cabot

Why.
What is a crucial point which no one seems to have really considered is that there are likely 3 scum around, so maybe let the tracker claim have a night phase to deliver goods, and maybe try and figure out the remaining 2 in this day phase.


Even if Geno is kept alive, he either gives a result or confirms a scum blocker. That's valuable information.
 

cabot

Why.
lol that weemad post. If they confirmed the information geno gave that confirms they are a PR.

Major scum vibes from it.
 

cabot

Why.
Yeah I think weemad/Nicole are scum together.


So she confirmed she wasnt notified of her shot being used. What's the point of that whole pre typed post then?


A doctor save is more likely.
 

cabot

Why.
Hey everyone, I used my invincible ability which means mafia was likely targeting me. If you’re wondering why no one died. Good thing is, I know who the scum are. (Note: I'm not making a doc claim)


Something is off here.
 
Sup homies.

So I played bad. Real bad. But honestly I have other plans so hopefully this pays off at some point.

Great game can't wait for chose!
 

cabot

Why.
OK my second hot take on scum is weemad/Time


Possibility of Kalor, but he has dropped a bit from my scumdar.
 

cabot

Why.
Geno does your team have a tracker?


I think a scum tracker in a small setup like this is too powerful.
 

Swamped

Woohoo hooray for hot D1 takes! Though Geno did have me fooled D2 lol.

So we're all dying to know, between me and Splinter, who did you kill?
 

Faddy

of, having, or involving transitory whims
10 minutes and no posts.

Geno's flip did surprise me. I wonder if the self vote was an admission he was past saving with team mates already on his train and trying to throw shade on townies who hadn't voted. And a scum player voting themselves probably means there was already a bus in play since. Or I could be well off the mark.

Fandorin is a good kill I think, easiest town read I think.

Nicole will probably get pressure today.

You think so? I was getting scum read by a lot of players there, like turmoil and Nicole. They even commented on that now.

Mafia thought I had a power role lol So glad I didn't claim.
 
weem's D2 vote on Geno kinda makes him town for me. When he posted it was a tie between him and CS, and I don't think scum would do something that risky. I mean, he coulda waited till I posted mine, but he didn't and went with the right vote.

I was 100% you were town when CoolestSpot flipped. Day 1 end, it tied you two together pretty heavily and with it being your first game it seemed unlikely you would make such a risky move as mafia.
 
Yeah, makes sense. Most were ignoring that though. Nicole might still be scum sacrificing Geno so her scum read on me could be false.

In fact, now that Geno confessed that there was no scum tracker it's clear mafia were just going all in on D3, so I don't think it would be that weird for Nicole to do that.

Finished catching up. My biggest scum read was Nicole but the Geno scum flip makes me question it. Cuoruous to see how today goes.
