I've been in many games where we managed to lynch scum day 1 for doing something scummy. and many games where we can look back on day 1 with future information to solve the game. Saying day 1 is meaningless is both wrong and being a *****
Legitimately confused by Nabe as a result. Vaan reads as lurkish and not really trying to contribute much either, and is also trying to undermine the value of conversation on D1.

maaaan don't vote nabe, vote me

i think nabe at least deserves the chance to prove his towniness, i dont think he's done anything wrong :'^((((((((
#HBC | Kary #HBC | Kary this is definitely a scum tell right? :awesome:

Anyway, why are you trying to throw yourself in front of Nabe? He could still be scum, you know.

because i dont think nabe is really all that scummy (wasn't he the one asking those archaic questions in Mario Mafia? i feel like he's doing the same thing here), my role is worthless, and I don't want to upset him/you and have him never play with you again

Correct me if I'm incorrect, but I don't believe Nintenzone has ever successfully lynched a mafioso on Day 1.

Which questions were archaic, and what questions was he asking here that you feel are similar to these aforementioned archaic questions?

Also, what. If you have a win condition, your role is not worthless. You have a team that needs your support. It's one thing to put yourself in the crossfire to generate discussion, it's another to just throw your slot away to an unconfirmed slot.

Correct me if I'm incorrect, but I don't believe Nintenzone has ever successfully lynched a mafioso on Day 1.
I just got lynched on D1 in the last game, and I was scum. :glare:

Bard Teardown Wall, page 1 of 2

What's the plan for today?
You start to interact with me by asking this, in response to me saying I'm going to bed. At the ungodly hour of 1:42 a.m., which is two hours after the start of the Day and an hour after I had last posted, you ask me an obvious question. The obvious answer is: lynch somebody. We call it Random Voting Stage for a reason, and in 24 hours Random Voting is only going to resolve into a Random Lynch, short of an enormously drastic scumslip. You know this. You couldn't possibly be unaware of it. Nevertheless, you ask, because... why? The only reason I can think of is to harp on a known quality of mine, my reluctance to lynch Day 1, which you poke at like a crazed lion in every game we have played in my memory, except for Mario Mafia where you hinted at it and then proceeded to do whatever your indy plan was. I think we can agree that was an unusual situation for you.

I respond:
Nah. I'm all in on this NZoner lifestyle this game, bruv. My brain is off for the Day phase, and then we pick up the pieces after the party and examine them gravely through hangover-soaked lenses. I think.

smoke walrus
This is a joke. Do I have to label that in some way other than referencing Gorf? But more importantly, this is a joke specifically agreeing with your own assertion that Day 1 is worth playing, because I'm poking fun at NZers who don't think that's true.



Somehow, you go far down the rabbit hole with this one, first asking Maven his opinion on it with a straight ****ing face, and then posting this:
Alright, I’ll just be transparent with my thoughts: Nabe knows that, in order for us to have a successful night phase, there is merit in us having discussion during the day. How are we supposed to generate trust for the night phase without actions to look at from the day?

Maybe I’m still just a complete scrub when it comes to the night phase, but Nabe makes it sound like there is nothing to be gleaned from talking during the day phase.

I’m just surprised that he has made such a huge 180 in mafia from the previous game, to be frank.

I also think it’s weird that he is calling things “uncharacteristically serious” when he is being fairly uncharacteristic himself.
How many ways can this be deconstructed? Let's see.

Alright, I’ll just be transparent with my thoughts:
Wow, thanks for being so open with all of us.

Nabe knows that, in order for us to have a successful night phase, there is merit in us having discussion during the day. How are we supposed to generate trust for the night phase without actions to look at from the day?
I don't think it's unfair of me to say that you really missed the boat on this one by being lynched D1. Town won Mario Mafia at Night, not during the Day. The success of an NZone Night phase is dependent firmly on the Night phase, according to them, which would be silly except that they delivered on it.

Still (and again, this goes without saying) there is obviously merit to discussion during the Day phase. But they develop trust at Night, based on mutual claims. And although that may be mildly infuriating, and was certainly so to Maven and I last game, that's how trust is generated for the Night phase. More on the Day phase shortly, because you have a lot to say about it.

Maybe I’m still just a complete scrub when it comes to the night phase, but Nabe makes it sound like there is nothing to be gleaned from talking during the day phase.
No, Nabe does not make it sound like that. Interactions are important, flips are important. But, in Mario Mafia, which you keep mentioning, which I played to completion, I saw a really strong game played at Night. Yes, I want them to play Day phases too, and they do a bit, but you can't force them, and you can't play an effective game on your own terms unless you're playing it alone.


I’m just surprised that he has made such a huge 180 in mafia from the previous game, to be frank.
Again: I played it.

I also think it’s weird that he is calling things “uncharacteristically serious” when he is being fairly uncharacteristic himself.
When I post in lowercase, it suggests a certain tone. As has already been pointed out by others, I don't have more than a single game of context to call someone "uncharacteristically" anything. Uni was indy, and Coricus was mafia, and both played the game in an unappealing way. In the quote from Uni that I called "uncharacteristically serious", he calls himself "the new me", and that's what I played off of by telling the two of them, "this is different, keep it up."


So, that's all pretty disgusting of you. But before I even come into the thread and get the chance to accuse you of vomiting text at me, you deliver more nonsense, turning what could have been just a one-off weird post from you into the most absurd push I may have ever seen.

#HBC | Nabe #HBC | Nabe your post is filled with a lot of exaggeration and slander, and blows things out of proportion. I really don't think we're butting heads as TvT. I'm going to let others commentate on it.

Not trying to come off as a jerk with the short response, but I'm not in the mood to interact with you when you're saying things like "bard is a crazed lion vomiting text at me and is abhorrently disgusting." This just comes off as a really bad OMGUS.

That's fair. I was expecting an immediate part 2, but he kinda just disappeared.

Hopefully he is a bit more careful with his word selection, that way we can have a more constructive conversation.

I think Nabe is a good bet.
No, you don't. You could not possibly think that. At the time that you said this, I had made four posts that were absolutely null. Still, you try here to ascribe meaning to them, so let's see how you did.

We're homies, but I feel like he's trying to undermine fruitful discussion from happening, and I don't really get why.
Are we homies? Maybe we should have hydra'd as Furio Tigre in this game, so I could mainline my thoughts directly to your veins, not to mention prevent you from making posts like these.

"He's trying to undermine fruitful discussion" is possibly the craziest thing you've said out of everything, since again, I had made a total of four posts, three before going to bed, one after waking up, they were jokes, and it's Day ****ing 1. But I've digressed.

I'll elaborate a bit on this:
to bed
it's late
stop y'all it's bedtime
This post seems odd. It's a strange reaction to a post that, at the time, had the potential to garner a lot of discussion and input. Instead he kinda says some mumbo jumbo that more or less tries to bring attention away from Pokechu while not really accomplishing much else.
Is this really me "trying to undermine fruitful discussion"? For context, let's see how I actually quoted Pokechu:
to bed
it's late
stop y'all it's bedtime
Hmm. Applying common sense to this situation, was I:
(a) Posting this to bring attention away from Pokechu? Or,
(b) Posting this because the Day literally just started, so I made a single post to check in (a classic RVS vote), and then took advantage of a joke post by Pokechu to make my own silly little joke and go to bed at the reasonable time of 11:43 p.m. EST?

Hmm.



This [the "uncharacteristically serious" post] is a really vague post. It points out that these slots are "uncharacteristically serious" but insists that they "keep it up". It just seems like an odd thing to do. I feel like the average person wouldn't know how to react to this and might feel more prone to not talk as much because they are wondering if they're actually being more serious than normal.
We've already covered this in the previous half of this wall, but I don't have any clue why telling someone to continue their behaviour would cause them to do the opposite. In what world are people so self-conscious of being called 'serious' that they would clam up and be like, "Wait, am I acting more serious than normal?" If someone did stop to think that about themselves, they are probably scum, not the average person being a normal level of self-conscious.

It's fairly ambiguous and kind of disconcerting since he is trying to put out a joking aura in this following post:
Nah. I'm all in on this NZoner lifestyle this game, bruv. My brain is off for the Day phase, and then we pick up the pieces after the party and examine them gravely through hangover-soaked lenses. I think.

smoke walrus
Yeah, it sure is weird how those two posts... had the same tone... and no ambiguity whatsoever... Strange...


I feel like he's just not really being helpful in promoting fruitful discussion and is instead promoting a bad philosophy of "let's not talk about anything until the night happens". He's not trying to find anyone trustworthy to make plans with, he just wants to skip right into night action claims.
I've covered everything that you say here already, so let's take a different approach now. Are you trying to bait out of me that I'm a PR? Because you know, a PR might be very eager to get to the Night phase, not only for the reasons I've already expressed (Night is the important phase of this particular game) but so that they can use their ability on a certain player posting nonsensical garbage.

I might be convinced to move in a different direction, but for now I'm not really "getting it" at the moment if there is some big plan in the works on Nabe's end.
You "might be" convinced to go the other way, huh? I think I've demonstrated in this breakdown that you shouldn't have been convinced of anything to begin with. Again, this sentiment ("I don't know what Nabe's big plan is") feels like rolebait more than a real push.

Vote coming in the next post so that it's not hidden under a wall.

Sup Vaan, still no thoughts?
I will comment on the fact that Shiny posted several times and acknowledged he'd already "missed a lot" hours before acting surprised that the game had already started and casting a vote on the then current leading lynchee.

Yeah, I'm definitely not going to trade walls with you, Nabe. I could tear it down, but I'm not interested in replicating EE vs. J, and it's a bit emotionally draining.

A bit of an odd response for a "crazed lion," wouldn't you say?

I'll let others commentate on it.

But you weren’t mafia...
Here's the thing: even if I'm not mafia, that doesn't mean I can't drop scum tells as an independent.

Additionally, through discussion on D1, I found Nabe/Soup/Kary/DJ/FE/DH all to be pro-town and trustworthy, which all occurred through D1 discourse.

Even if we don't lynch mafia, there's a lot of information we can derive from how things play out.

Nabe is a quick learner. He sees Day 1 for the sham it truly is. At best, what usually happens is a town player commits seppuku by phrasing a statement poorly. This game begins in earnest at dusk.
This is a step farther than I'd go. Maven's not wrong, Day 1 always has value.

But Bard being lynched D1 in Mario Mafia wasn't valuable. For one thing, he brought it on himself intentionally. For another, he was indy, and thus no connections could be made. Town and scum alike enjoyed how easy that lynch was, and how universally acceptable. A few people did come out of D1 looking pro-town, particularly the claimed tracker, which wasn't a product of D1 so much as a product of claim culture in general.

It absolutely was valuable. A lot of people came out of discussion looking significantly pro-town and trustworthy as a result.

I just don't get that impression from you. Also, lol at "are we homies?"

Are you kidding me, dude?

No. You're not allowed to be sly and cute and pretend that it's alright. It's not alright. Interact with the words that I've said to you, or else you are absolutely the lynch toDay. If you're town, put your eyes to it.
I'm allowed to be annoyed with you. You are, unfortunately, going to have to accept that. The terms of our relationship have changed.

Being condescending and overly familiar is not going to keep you afloat. I'm not backing off on a shrug and a wink. The only terms here are, "talk or die."

For what?
You should go back and reread your posts very carefully, and ask yourself "would I speak to a family member or co-worker like this?"

I am not being rude or condescending. I am not the only belittling others for their perceived intelligence or calling them "crazed lions."

My intent in voting for him was to apply pressure, seeing as "two one-use powers" was vaguely dangerous-sounding enough that I wanted more info. However it's not enough that I think he should be lynched over it, as the pressuring didn't yield the results I wanted it to. So with that, I am retracting my vote so we don't kill him.

I've gotta be honest, Pokechu's really coming off like a Fool to me for how hard he's gunning to die.

But no one's really come up with anything better to do, so I'll just watch it pan out and just keep my hands off it for now. You make your own judgement calls, this isn't gonna be on my hands, guys, LOL.

I mean there is the Nabe thing, but that bit earlier was SO weird and unaddressed I can't tell if they were joking or got hijacked by a character ability.

Shish has expressed his distaste for Fools in the past. I don't think he'd make Pokechu one.

Does a Fool/Jester end the game if they are lynched, or does the game progress sort of like in Town of Salem?

From the games I've played, it varies.

Generally play continues as normal, but they win alongside whichever faction prevails. I'm more worried that, if anything, Shish made a suicide bomber variant that takes one or more of the people who voted for him out with him. Shish has gone on record thinking traditional fools are a poor design choice, so I can't see him intentionally adding one unless there was a catch involved.

I just can't tell why the heck else he would fish for attention like this, LOL. A mafioso wouldn't draw attention to themselves, they wouldn't try to draw attention from other mafia super blatantly, and they wouldn't. . .whatever the hell he's doing in general. And it's just functionally useless for a townie to act like this, LOL.

Unless he just wants to quit and can't spit it out because everyone will yell at him for ruining the game.

Yes, you are. I wouldn't have bothered if you weren't being awful.

Everything I've said shows your Nabe case to be meaningless. If your heart isn't in your vote, you need to admit that. Sitting on a bad vote isn't helping.
I am not a condescending person, I stated my interpretation of the facts, I did not say they were infallible. I didn't call you names.

I'll let others comment on it. I'm not sure there's much to be garnered from our back and forths.
