I'm not sure when day is ending, so I'm going to push my thoughts out there and leave this here for now. My main takeaway is that Fallacy seems to be playing a different game than anyone else, Deus Asmoth seems to be trying to get Tea lynched instead of hunting scum, and dolores is the only other person who actually paid attention to the info we got from Superdorf. I'd prefer a Deus Asmoth lynch today over a FallacyofUrist one, but I could see them being buddies.
ICTHave you read your Role PM now?
Yes. It changed nothing. I'd like to hear you speculate on why I performed no night action.
I'd like to hear you not try to encourage a bunch of WIFOM.
Deus Asmoth: Slight scum. Posts are few and not particularly content-filled. States that this is their personal playstyle, but it remains that it hasn't been very effective town play.
You've played with Deus Asmoth before, right?
It would have literally no effect on my decision.
That's a lie you tell to yourself. All of us are vulnerable to the sunk cost fallacy, and knowing that town has to put in more work to win, town is also less likely to throw all that work away than scum. That work is what I mean when I say someone is invested in the game.
Why is the Sunken Cost Fallacy more applicable to town than scum. I don't have a scumread on dolores, but I could easily see someone invested in the game as a scum player coming back to post.
Persus13: Earlier you said that a town vig is a powerful tool in the right hands. Is Shadowclaw a bad town vig or scum trying to hide behind idiocy? Is there a valid reason a town vig would ever use a random-target kill, outside of something like being outnumbered by scum already? (This keeping in mind that in this game, random-target abilities can also hit the user.)
I think if Shadowclaw was scum, he'd fakeclaim something more safe, like not taking a Night action in a game that doesn't seem to have investigative roles. Shadowclaw also doesn't have a random kill, he has a random prime, and while that's foolish to use in a game with two, possibly three primes, on its own its not to bad. The thing I find most suspicious is Shadowclaw claiming he was relying on Tric not being primeable, as that can't be true. Otherwise Shadow seems pretty town.
Shadowclaw:This is clearly an anti-town move, and my rationale is probably that the ones voted that user off have the potential to have collaborated with you, I don’t know if their is a mafia sub-chat even more so it’s time to reveal my role.
Most Mafia games I've been on this forum have had a quicktopic for the Mafia to chat in, as well as a quicktopic for dead players to chat in. Knowing NQT, this game will be no different.
Anyways we probably have 2 or 3 Scum players out of the 7 (I don’t think 4 Scum out of 9, seems exactly fair...) and this is the most critical moment in this game since once we reach the point that their are equal or more scum players, than they can tie-lock and kill each night. So if their is three scum players, if the lynch comes out to town, unless their is another vigilante to even the odds the scum practically win, unless their is 2 of them.
I'm inclined to agree with you that we may have 2 or 3 scum here.
In addition, we actually know almost all, if not all of the roles in the game right now thanks to Superdorf. Besides your prime, there's an infect and another prime, possibly even a third prime, some or all of which could be town, although some or all could be fairly useless abilities. The main issue is we don't know the alignment of the person with the other Prime/Ignite, and that person now knows that there's two more people they can ignite tonight, which could be catastrophic for town as much as it could be for scum.
Deus Asmoth
As you say later, you're not dolores, so why are you putting words in her mouth? She never said that it was against the rules to post here after requesting a replacement. And in spite of your attempts to claim credit for baiting her into posting, most of that post wasn't directed at you at all. The fact that you're presenting it as such- and that dolores was more than willing to allow you to do so- is probably the scummiest thing in this game as of yet.
This is literally denying reality. I remember reading dolores challenging NQT to ban them for posting while out, because that's super weird and not how Mafia games usually go. I think overall you have some good points in your dialogue with ICT, but this just feels too much like scum making up stuff and hoping it sticks for me to ignore.
