had a busy couple of days, gonna catch up and mark down my thoughts as i go
***
yeah it's pretty clear from this that there is a maintenance guy somewhere
in addition, i'd wager they're town, assuming the machine is good for the town (sidenote: i understand that some of you have already played this setup or at least know something more about it than what was posted in the signups thread? if that is the case, maybe share that info with the rest of us because i don't have time to search through another game thread and therefore don't have as much info as you do, so in order to keep us all on the same page, whatever info you have about the setup, pls share)
i have no idea what effect other people might have on the machine so idk. looking at the signups thread, it looks like any role could have a different effect on the machine when visiting it.
i don't know that i'll be affected if i choose to visit the machine
nope
i don't think one nightkill is odd, considering the (relatively) ʟᴏᴡ playercount. third-party doesn't necessarily mean that there is a third-party faction that needs to be the last one standing, so thinking that third-party = another kill role seems odd. also, if there are other kill roles, the could be conditional, to account for the lower number of players.
from the fact that you seem fairly certain that a kill action was tampered with during the night, perhaps you have some insight into this matter that the rest of us don't?
considering revealing role details, i think stranger asked some fairly innocuous questions that don't exactly give away much about your role, but they can get discussion going, which is something we desperately need after a non-existent day 0 and a slow night 1
where did that come from
good point about the maf
can't really see the guy as a third party role, mostly because i can't for the life of me think of a viable win condition that makes sense, so i still think it's most likely that he's town, just that his action can be good or bad for the town, depending on the circumstances
is this a meme or something
i missed the part where boo did anything to merit a vote
good observations, town vibes on mars
this looks ᴏᴘᴘᴏʀᴛᴜɴɪꜱᴛɪᴄ
yeah mild scumread on hip as i get the feeling he's just following mars without any particular thoughts of his own
except how did you know mis had the same reasoning
or are you saying you independently developed the same reasons for voting booo and neither of you decided to share them?
if this is about the maintenance guy, i'm sure that tim and alisha wouldn't cut a role that is inherently tied to another one, or they'd cut both of them
ugh i can【never】read mulb because he's exactly as scummy as a townie as he is when he's actually scum
big agree
the reasoning to think that maintenance guy is 3rd party doesn't make sense to me, he could get killed regardless of alignment and harmfulness to either town or maf isn't a good indication of any particular role's alignment. besides, we don't actually have any indication that the maintenance guy has an action that is or isn't more harmful to one side than the other, so that's a moot point imo
i can't decide if this is stranger simply hitching his wagon to mis because it's easy or actual townie motivations
what
ʇɐɥʍ
considering she's been rating posts ä̸͇͙̥̠͊͋̈́͂̾͛l̵̠̙̼̙̻̺̋̊̽̌̈́̄̅̉͒̚l̶̪̖͖̜̱̰̬̤̀̒͒͝ͅ ̸̟̆͘ő̵̗̹̩̺̹̲̭͗̄̎͂̕͜͝ͅv̵̜͉̻̔̋͆̒͌̚͝e̴̡̞̐͌ṛ̵̢̣̞͖̗̙̮̬̰̒̄͛͛̽͋̆̅, this is actually a solid theory
could also mean that any of the boo voters might've known that and considered her an easy target, since she literally can't defend herself if it's true, which would point to a maf presence in the wagon, since a muter would very likely be maf
agree
ok nevermind about booo possibly being muted then
why do you think everyone has an action that can visit the machine? the signups thread says only that "a number of roles can interact with the machine in a number of ways"
this doesn't look like "all the roles can interact with the machine" to me
i'm not saying that this is scummy because mis hasn't actually claimed anything yet, but this sort of "whoops misunderstood my role" typically happens when someone messes up a fakeclaim and has to think of a quick fix to it
(っ◔◡◔)っ
just a note
s̾p̾i̾c̾y̾
that is really an unnecessarily p͓̽r͓̽i͓̽c͓̽k͓̽l͓̽y͓̽ response
this feels like an attempt to both fish out notty's role and an attempt to delay having to come up with any counterargument to notty's claim
in other words, scummy
lmao relax man i saw your ????????? ??? ????????? already
remind me again what has the artist role usually been in escres games because i see the name popping up almost every game and i've never known what it actually is
or i've long forgotten
dead
hi
hi
except notty typically has a reason to lie as town (at least in her own head), and as i understand it, there really is no reason for town hip to claim that he can't visit the machine if he can
that is taking the quote way out of context and generalising the statement to the point of strawmanning
same thing that ltin just did to you, actually
okay but what is notty's motivation to do this as scum
or maybe hip is denying visiting the machine because he sees a chance to get rid of a town tracker before anyone realises that the only actually confirmed faction to have a night action that visits the machine are the maf
yeah you can't really apply any sort of basic balancing logic to most of the games here tbh, especially if they're closed setups
thonk
dude twg isn't even in this game

stranger - conflicted
notty - notty
hip - scum vibes
inf - cautious town vibes
mulb - see above for my thoughts on mulb and how i never read them as town
booo - idk
mis - idk
mars - town
poke - idk
jace - i guarantee he's 100% town
comp - idk
