Post one, apparently the in post. So 6 posts this entire game until the lurker track.
Hello everyone. I'm pleased to be back in a Roguelike again, and pleased also that I'm not a mad serial killer this time.
D3 players will have had two chances of questing, so it's likely there'll be one or two powerful Rares or Artefacts floating around. If this proceeds like a normal game death-wise, we'll be down to four players and it'll look like LYLO, but given player items it might not be. What am I missing?
Fallacy, should we no-lynch today?
Jim, I love the random item aspect of this format. And the class choosing is similar to CYOM. The big similarity is we have an additional piece of scum hunting info in this game: players pick their class after they get their alignment and this might in itself be informative.
Is someone picking paladin automatically suspicious?
Starting post, no rvs vote.
... Looking at this again, it's amazingly useless, isn't it? Like, the wrenching gut feeling that this post has no substance at all. We'll see if it ever went anywhere as we go through, though if NQT is Scum, Fal's answer makes it unlikely Fal is the team member. Then again, WIFOM.
Are you a sane killer nqt?I'll claim on D3, which, yes, hopefully I'll survive to. Not holding my breath though. I spun the wheel on it and didn't get Bard so there's that.
For those following along at home, I picked Paladin when I played this game last: as a serial killer it was a no-brainer. I'm undecided whether it's a scummy pick per se. Having an inspect scroll as town is a potential game changer. Bit less neat if you get NK'd N1 for claiming paladin (but I'm sure Web knows what he's doing, I can think of at least three possibilities: less said the better).
BluarianKnight is it acceptable for town to pick Thief?
This comes off Web's claim, and my claim, and after this Jack's claim. Lot of early claims, nothing from you cause you want to wait till day 3. Are you a theif, or a transmuter. Or perhaps even a paladin.
Why is it that not saying why web is claiming so early better? Granted, you did say you spun the wheel, so you could be anything
if you are telling the truth.
Why ask blue this question though?
Fal also claims archeologist. And votes web for reasons. RVS likely.

notquitethere How do I play this game? Seriously, I have no idea, and the intro text is...unhelpful.
For the most part, it's a normal mafia game: use the day game to find scum. Every day you'll get a random object from a quest (unless you raid the central reserve of items instead). These items give you new abilities to use at night.
all Paladins should give their Scroll of Inspection to a trusted Town player to avoid a Nightkill, and NOT say to whom they are giving the Scroll of Inspection.
You can't give items to other players, read the OP.
Also, to address the points worth addressing:
- I wasn't suggesting a no lynch, I was seeing what Fallacy thought of the idea.
- Paladins are like cops, usually you don't want the cops claiming D1!

Notquitethere: How do you tell the difference between scum and bad town?
Sometimes they do look very similar, but scum have additional tells in how they interact with their buddies, they inspect differently, and use their abilities differently too. Scum have an agenda, bad town don't.
Quickfire reads:
Town
Jim - putting some consideration in, I think this is town!Jim
Web - painted a big target on his head, so must have A Plan
Prefuzek - Fairly strong start, some insightful questions, coming out swinging. Push on Tric for claiming... this falls under the category of "norm policing" votes
EuchreJack - Weird spot between having clear knowledge of the game's rules and still making obvious mistakes-- nice and proactive, is fishing ever genuinely a scumtell? Is voting me partly because of belief I was pushing for a no lynch. Another "norm policing" vote.
Bluarian - Hasn't done anything yet, only post was just answering questions: still on the backfoot.
Tric - Hasn't done anything yet other than my vague threats, definite scumlean.
Fallacy - Push on web for "reasons", is the reason "has a scroll of inspect"?
Toony - Helpful and present in the thread... but no real push from them at all yet. Who's scum here, Toony?
Scum
Page four, near the bottom, read list.
This game started on page two. You simply shouldn't have the info needed to make concrete judgements now. It is also
very obvious in comparison to the others that yours is far more comprehensive.
Looking at it, I'm a scumlean, blue isn't. Wouldn't I make more sense to push if you thought that? Rather than vote Toony for not pushing quickly when the game had just started up.
Of note,
Toonyman: Did you pick Priest?
No. And just to be clear, I'm not a Paladin either. I was joking earlier with Web.
Scumpoints for going back on your word.
I don't want there to be a misunderstanding down the line. I think actual Paladins should claim now if they want to be believed later.
You don't think paladins should claim day one, Toony does. You could have pushed an obvious lie, but instead you voted due to toony not pushing anyone yet.
This contradicts that, it's more general, but he does believe others should claim.
Note, Toony did do an RVS first post, though with a question.
Next.
Page 8, two posts back to back. Based on not being on PC, these can count as one, bringing your post number down to 5.

Just popping quickly with a couple of quick thoughts (I'll address thread properly when I get back on PC):
- Web has this play act thing which he did when running circles as town in the Revolution game. High level waffle. I think he's capable of doing this as scum but its consistent with town play. I like it so far.
2: I like waffles, but not the type web serves. What do you think of web now NQT?
- What the hell is Euchre doing shortening or unshortening? I like short snappy days too but this is incomprehensible. My theory: he's a jester. Last game showed there could be 3rd parties not mentioned in the OP. Could be same here. Someone got a better theory?
1: Jack being Jack. Which his previous posts I brought out of him would support if he's town. Jack is looking hard at those they deem scum, and thought a snap day would be better. Time will tell if he is town or scum.
- can I get a vote count? I might be in the lead which is Not Good.
3: Feeling pressured NQT? The day ends Tuesday, so we got time. All the time in the world at this point where you made the post on page 8.
- Not sure why Fallacy doesn't think my reads were "quickfire". I didn't agonise over each one, I just made a snap judgement on what I'd seen in the thread so far. Definitely a nonsense push here.
4: Haha, no.
See pink for comments.
Jim - putting some consideration in, I think this is town!Jim
What consideration did you put in here? Granted, I happen to agree, so does Jack and Web. And Toony.. He's really town MVP for sheperd huh?Web - painted a big target on his head, so must have A Plan
This isn't an indication of town, so no. Not like you could push a paladin to lynch without also being one, so makes sense you put no thought here.Prefuzek - Fairly strong start, some insightful questions, coming out swinging. Push on Tric for claiming... this falls under the category of "norm policing" votes
Not an immediate indication of town. And you know how many other people claimed? A lot of people.EuchreJack - Weird spot between having clear knowledge of the game's rules and still making obvious mistakes-- nice and proactive, is fishing ever genuinely a scumtell? Is voting me partly because of belief I was pushing for a no lynch. Another "norm policing" vote.
What does norm policing mean anyway? You remind him of the Nightmare NQT, and I'm inclined to agree. Just ignore that will you?Bluarian - Hasn't done anything yet, only post was just answering questions: still on the backfoot.
Blue is freaking quite at the start of the day. And into the next till the first major post being reads. I'll look at this later, as this could be separation. Or setting up a lynch later, needs more thought.Tric - Hasn't done anything yet other than my vague threats, definite scumlean.
Hi NQT! Hope you enjoy a moony-style takedown.Fallacy - Push on web for "reasons", is the reason "has a scroll of inspect"?
The reason is 'RVS'. Yeah, this isn't a case of bussing, I don't think. You are having less thought down here.Toony - Helpful and present in the thread... but no real push from them at all yet. Who's scum here, Toony?
You Notquitethere, just you. Just reading this line is painful.Of note, it's at this point after Jack relating you to the Nightmare that set my vote on you.
Of note, you are very scared of being in the lead on votes, why?
Also, Fallacy is saying Jim's list is unbiased... that seems a really weird thing to town read someone for. Reading alignment in posts is showing a bias in favour of some players and against others. Being indifferent isn't a town tell!
It also isn't a scum tell. Much information off of two pages of posts and no thought put into those that did have info is an informed-tell.
...
End of the posts. After I asked for lurker track. You could have taken more time to post some pushes.
Pfp, busy weekend, but game is paused over weekend anyway. Will post properly later or tomorrow.
Just a quick pop in to say:
- Tric, charts are for D2+. There's been no flips yet!
- Someone said something about a curse: I have a scroll of curse curing, so if I die and some needs it, raid the stack for it.
- Jack, scum hunting should pick up sk's etc. Focusing on 3rd parties when we don't know if they exist is a bad idea.
- Can everyone on the Tric wagon explain their case if they haven't already?
-You could make a chart on everyone's current suspicions. I am fairly sure you used that one before. Wanting to wait is wierd?
-I don't think anyone ever said anything about a curse, but there isn't a good reason to say that given that is a valid target for a theif.
-There is the possibility of a third party, however recent talk with jack and going through this have greatly disillusioned me of this notion. Though I would not discount Mafia-ally.
-Explain the cases, make the connections, Determine who is town and who is scum on it. This post reads as a pop-up, one of those ones that obscure what you are reading, just to hide the fact you really aren't paying attention due to busyness and mafianess.
So to make it clear,
Notquitethere, how do you plead? Here, or Guilty?
3 ninja. I'm done with NQT's pre-lurkertrack posts.
