Jack What "nobility points" I was "questioned on"? Obviously I missed something.

flabort: Specifically, the choice to base a vote on your guesses about nobles.  Which 4mask asked about (a comment you, as far as I can tell, declared a chainsaw defense and refused to seriously respond to).

[Jack A T]

EBWODP: I did word the question somewhat poorly.

Also, what do you mean by "talkative"?

[4maskwolf]

And your play still seems to indicate that you're trying to send someone instructions in your QT.

* 4maskwolf giggles

As a point of fact, I've done exactly that, but it's not the quicktopic you're thinking of and not the style of instructions you're thinking of.

4maskwolf: Please explain.

There's a spoilspec (of sorts) chat that actual observers (people who aren't playing) have access to.  Because I was originally signed up as a registered observer, the role I sent to TolyK was "registered observer", and one of the things that role gave me was access to that chat.  Which means that naturally TolyK hasn't spoiled anything in the chat, but it's interesting regardless.

To clarify: as far as I know, Varee's idea of NQT being in the game is entirely wrong.  I asked TolyK in that chat if observers were allowed to post in the main thread after NQT did exactly that, and his response was "Yes, anyone can post in the thread, really, unless they're overly obnoxious. :p".  Which means that, particularly when NQT didn't say anything more than one post, I suspect that he is merely an observer.

However, this genie... maybe that's what Varee is getting?  I have a recollection of him saying that there are 16 players in the game early one: maybe that's what he means?

Strange floating fellow: "Ah, so you're looking for quick industrialization, dawg? I can give you quick industrialization, with a price drop, special fo you! Yes, I can do sat, brah.
And jokes. Gotcha, lots of jokes.

I think you just got your answer...

Flabort: What, exactly, does the genie do?

[Jack A T]

Oh dear.

I think I can safely declare that "talkative" question answered.  (PPE: ...Yeah.)

Genie: Tell a joke about regulatory capture.

[TolyK]

Strange floating fellow: About huzzawhatta? Gee, that's not quite my job, but you'll find that taken care of as soon as [TolyK finishes doing some stuff].

[Jack A T]

Alright, so we can interact with the genie.  Interesting.

[TolyK]

Robin Williams: "They call him 'Flabort' because his Florida marriage didn't go so well. "

(I'm sorry that this isn't even close, but it's what we've got. He's an improv guy, not a jokes-only guy.)

Votecount soon. I hope.

Flabort: What, exactly, does the genie do?

I can use three of my actions for free, whenever, but he won't leave, and every time I make an action he comments on it. He keeps saying "yo dawg" in my ear.

Also, I used one of those actions to summon Robin Williams because he's a genie too.

Jim: The wincon I sent you is optional, I think. Fulfill that wincon AND win in any other way to win TWICE. Unless TolyK didn't really mean it that way, and he DID mean it was mandatory. It doesn't say it is.

Alright. I chose to vote for the declared Noble because I am pretty sure the nobles are one of two things: Anti-town team or mason team. If they ARE a mason team, odds are good that there are at least three, so losing one would confirm that they are masons and leave the other two safe. If they are a scum team, then obviously we want to kill them.
Therefor, either way the flip of a noble will be a good thing.

[TolyK]

That should be correct. I'll go over it again, but I'm sure that's correct.
Remember that the votecount shows regular votes and vote amounts, except when changed via ability.

Jim: The wincon I sent you is optional, I think. Fulfill that wincon AND win in any other way to win TWICE. Unless TolyK didn't really mean it that way, and he DID mean it was mandatory. It doesn't say it is.

If your wincon includes an AND, you must fulfill both parts (logical "true").
If they include an OR, you win if at least one condition is fulfilled.
However, OR binds more tightly than AND, so
A OR B AND C means (A OR B) AND C, i.e. to win you must fulfill C and at least one of A or B.
XOR means "one or the other, but not both", and is as more binding than OR.

flabort: And what exactly supports either of these guesses?  (They're both wrong, by the way.  To the best of my knowledge, there is no connection between nobles whatsoever.  I'd be surprised if I'm the only one, though.)

Well, I thought the opening post for Day 1 mentioned "nobles", plural, which I thought implied a team.
However, I just looked again and was wrong. It says "if you happen to be royalty". Oh, dear, you MIGHT be the only noble.

[Jack A T]

flabort: ... you assumed a noble team based on a single word that wasn't actually in the day opening?  A word that would just as easily have made sense with non-teamed nobles existing?

Also, please answer these questions:

flabort: Would you be so kind as to say what that overreaction is, exactly?  And, for that matter, what your evidence was against your real suspects at the time of your 4mask/GA/me votes?  What reaction to the abysmal GA vote would you consider to not be an overreaction from the person you linked GA to?
