Day 5: Z25, Chaco, ExLight, Darkpit54 survive until endgame. Town Wins.

"Alright. That should be beneficial in the long run."

"Hopefully town remembers that the amount of Ninja shots that the mafia have are directly dependent on the presence of the semi-open aspects."

"Hey! You shouldn't be giving town pointers!"

"Well, it WAS part of the setup information, and you already know that I'm biased in favor of town..."

"Yeah... well... too bad! I want the mafia to win; go scum!"

"This is not going to end well if I have to keep dealing with you."

"Whatever. In any case, Day 1 will begin when 11/13 have confirmed in their Role PM. Current status: [11/11].​

All Role PMs have been sent out. Please confirm in the conversation rather than in the thread.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

/spec plz

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

“Did we really just hit the required amount of confirms? You know what this means, right?”

“Yep! The game is on!”

“...”

“What’s the matter? Scared that you’re supporting the wrong side?”

“Not particularly, but the rules clearly state that Day 1 will be 7 full days, which would put the end of the phase on the 4th of July.”

“Hm, that could be problematic. I’ll throw you a bone; if 7/13 people request a day extension, the deadline will be increased by 24 hours.”

“That seems fair. It’ll give people an extra day to work with so the phase end is not interfering with a holiday.”

“With that being said, good luck mafia!”

“And better luck town!”

“Hey, why do you get the last word?”

“Because.”



Day 1 begins. Day 1 ends on July 4th at 8 PM EST.

[Raxxel]

Vote: BoomFrog

If their name suggests anything, it's that they're a frog and they're going to explode, which isn't very town imo.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Which one of you ****ers is Dirty Dan

 

[Xivii]

IM DIRTY DAN

 

[Xivii]

Let's see if ranmaru can guess my alignment weeeee hyper post weeeeee

 

[Xivii]

Raxxel what's your game plan

NSG what's your mafia experience and if you were scum who would your mates be

 

[Xivii]

quad post is town indicative

 

[Raxxel]

Raxxel what's your game plan

NSG what's your mafia experience and if you were scum who would your mates be

Don't have one as of yet.

If I'm thinking on the fly though, I think with this many people I've never played with before, it's best if I try and draw out as much interaction as possible from them to gauge their personalities and playstyles. So, pretty much the standard asking of questions in regards to early reads, reactions to being in certain scenarios, etc.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I’ve played a couple games. I know there’s always specific town roles people want to find out first too. Like the “cop” or investigator for example.

What's your impression of me so far?

 

[Xivii]

Have you been mafia before?

 

[Xivii]

Look at all these questions I'm asking.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

One time yeah.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Didn’t do too great with it tho

 

[Raxxel]

What's your impression of me so far?

You're more humorous and slightly hyperactive than usual, but right now you're playing a pretty standard town Xivii from the little I've seen.

I mean, I wouldn't quite say "people" besides scum really want to know early on who town roles are. If those become common knowledge, they get targeted by mafia first. Their identities are best left hidden until they've found something, such as an action or somebody's alignment, and want to reveal it to the rest of town.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

What's your impression of me so far?

You’re Dirty Dan. You said it yourself.

 

[LaserGuy]

This feels like it's coming more from a scum point of view. Also, hasn't read the setup.

Raxxel's early posting feels townie to me.

Vote: NonSpecificGuy

 

[Xivii]

but right now you're playing a pretty standard town Xivii from the little I've seen.

What are the features of my play that are standard town xivii?

 

[Xivii]

Laser why haven't you mentioned me and why am I not lockedtown

 

[Raxxel]

What are the features of my play that are standard town xivii?

Proactive is definitely the word I would assign to your town play. You tend to be one of the earliest participants in any game, you ask a lot of questions, and generally tend to be an active part of the scumhunt conversation. You do also usually take on a more serious tone, though this time around you come across a bit more laid back.

 

[Raxxel]

Actually, while we're on the subject, you've either spectated or participated in a lot of games I've played now, Xivii. I'm curious as well, what's your early impression of me at this point?

 

[LaserGuy]

Laser why haven't you mentioned me and why am I not lockedtown

You earned yourself a BoomFrog badge of honor last game. I'm going to let you do your thing and I will lynch you D3 if you haven't caught scum.

 

[Xivii]

Thanks Raxxel. I wasn't anticipating such a well thought out answer. I always town read you early on even when you're scum, so I'm going to need to see your play overtime to make a decent evaluation. I'll mainly be looking for whether or not you consistently participate in the thread, as lurking seems to be your most consistent scum tell. My initial impression, however, is that you are town, but that is because I think LaserGuy is scum and that his read on you is from being scum!informed.


NSG is scum for not responding to IM DIRTY DAN. And a general sense of his response times.

Laser is scum for failing to acknowledge my slot initially, his read on Raxxel, and his push on NSG. To be clear, NSG and LaserGuy are scummates.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

This feels like it's coming more from a scum point of view. Also, hasn't read the setup.

Raxxel's early posting feels townie to me.

Vote: NonSpecificGuy

Pfff. No I’m not scum. I’ve just only played like twice in my life so.

 

[somitomi]

Just here to say hi before I go to bed and
Vote Xivii
knows the entire setup before anyone posted anything? That guy's hiding something

 

[3DSNinja]

Vote Trisscar

 

[Trisscar]

Hello to you too Jackrito. How's your month been?

 

[fontisian]

Hey, all.

It's good to be town.

 

[Xivii]

It feels good to be black on the moon.

 

[Trisscar]

That has some interesting interpretations at this moment in history. XD

This game seems like it'll be rather sudoku heavy tbh.

 

[Chaco]

funny you said lurking, my psn tag has lurkin in it. Lol. But nah, not lurking.

xivii posts a lot and seems to be up in everything, but I don’t know how anyone plays here except Frozenflame and that’s been years.

it's a line from the highly-rated (2 stars) Netflix show Space Force

 

[LaserGuy]

Laser is scum for failing to acknowledge my slot initially,

I'm curious why you expected me to.

Pfff. No I’m not scum. I’ve just only played like twice in my life so.

What alignment did you play in your earlier games? Were you Town, mafia?

This game seems like it'll be rather sudoku heavy tbh.

Can you explain what this means?

xivii posts a lot and seems to be up in everything, but I don’t know how anyone plays here except Frozenflame and that’s been years.

Vote: Xivii

Is Xivii's posting rate a bad thing? I don't understand how this vote follows from the statement above.
