Problem with that is it's assuming anyone who gets the book is town. We don't know that for sure. We also don't know if nin is town to begin with.

My understanding is that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Zatoth confirmed that the only people who can be converted to the cultists are people who started insane in their role PM. It doesn't seem like there's any other downsides (outside of an "insanity sniffer" role which I and a few others think might be real). I guess there's also the chance you die when you use it too... tough call I suppose, but unless I'm missing something I don't think the insanity is a huge detractor here?

I agree. It's a reasonable assumption to make, but also a dangerous one.
True, I hink given the powers we know exist it seems like a reasonable one, but it's also an insane game. In the end, I'm just arguing what I think and I know I ultimately hold little sway on what ends up happening at the end of this day.
Man... the waiting is the worst part.
Oh, and for the heck of it I'm not sure nin1000 is the most worthy of investigation immediately tomorrow so...
Vote: johnnyquickknives
He said he's more likely to side with the player who generates discussion, too easily led astray. I think he's worth investigating more tomorrow.
Also have to head to lunch so this is likely my last post so just remember...
Good night, and good luck fellow tourists. It's been an honor.

Just remember guys Rats Off To Ya was gunning for this so if we did mess up we're REALLY gonna have to try hard to recover the following day those of us who still survive.

If you guys wanna hold me responsible for a mislynch on Day Three, go ahead. But the reason we're in such bad shape is because of what went down on Day Two, which I was fighting against with everything I had.

I'm not asking to turn people against you, I'm just saying your judgement from now on might be a little questionable, but we will see VERY soon! You might deliver us a cultist after all or an innocent.
I don't think lynching me instead of blargonaut would change much. I would be dead, then the cultists would lynch somebody at night, Mysterious would lynch a second at night, and sorian/neuromancer likely would've still happened. Saying listening to you would have put us in a better position is insane and false.
I'm sure it will shock us all
I'll announce the results soonish.
I agree with this.

So I guess losing two lightning rods in one go wasn't a bad thing?
Huh.
Huh.
That's a fair point. It would have been bearable if we hadn't also lost Sorian and Neuro, and losing Sorian and Neuro would have been bearable if we hadn't killed Blarg and shipped off Matt.
So, no score, I guess.

both issues combined are responsible for the mess we're in tbh, Day 2 was a disaster and what happened Night 2 just completely magnified the issue and left our wheels spinning as not knowing the roles of those two is quite frustrating and bad for Town as a lot of Sorian's work becomes unusable when you don't know where it was coming from
Day 1 - 23 (- Tucah, Fireblend, Lone_Prodigy)
Day 2 - 20 (- Blargonaut, Matt Attack, Darryl, Sorian, Neuromancer)
Day 3 - 15 (- Coppanuva and 1-2 more)
Day 4 - 12?
Day 5 - 9?
Day 6 - 6?
If we're still at 13/10/7 on those days then it probably means they found another Insane Tourist
I don't get Karkadorian maths, so what would the majority vote be for every number from now?

I don't think Neuro would have used the book if Blarg hadn't flipped the way he did, either.

Day/Night Three has been a humongous blow to everything I thought I knew about the state of things. I can't even begin to formulate any theories right now.

Well that definitely softens th' blow of lynchin' another tourist last night, but let's not count our chickens before they hatch. There're definitely still cultists out there and th' fact that they coulda turned someone last night (considerin' there was only one death) means that we've still got a problem on our hands.
Any proposals fer topics to pursue today? Do Castamere's past affiliations paint a target on anyone's back?

More likely they tried to kill but the person turned insane instead. I'm of the opinion that conversion has a specific role dedicated to it, and doesn't take the place of a night kill.
But all my reads are fucked, so there's no reason to believe me.
The fact that the "Sacrifice" action on the role PMs only says that it kills someone or turns them insane (which we know is different from being a cultist, and also doesn't mean they're recruitable) makes me think there one of the remaining Cultists (possibly the only remaining one) has specific recruit ability, and that they can do it in addition to sacrificing someone.
I still think that if someone gets turned insane we'll be able to tell. Like maybe they have to put their text into some insanity text converter for the whole day or something like that. (Metagaming here, but that might be why we were asked at the start if we posted from mobile or desktop, since doing that kind of transposition is much easier from desktop.)
From a quick skim of past posts: LoC has tried to start something in Great Charleston's direction a few times.

Didn't really read all posts in detail, just picking out stuff from the search results. So there's probably more interesting stuff.

Full disclosure, I was extremely suspicious of ultron before this development, and he was the suspect I was hoping Coppa's flip would lead us to.
All my theories have now gone out the window. LoC wasn't central to any of them, but he was a supporting player. At least he gave us plenty of material to comb through from our new position of knowledge.

Anyone still want to say killing Blarg was a pro-Town move? LoC tried harder than anybody to get him lynched. He briefly sided with #Team800Feet on Day Two, but that was after we had resigned ourselves to Blarg's fate and there was a risk (to the Cult) of the conversation moving on.
If your reason for suspecting me was that I tried to poke a few holes in your argument about Coppa you might be thinking about this a little shallowly. It is pretty unlikely that the cult will tie themselves up in a nice little bow. It isn't going to be "oh, well he defended him that one time, so he's a cult, and then he argued for her so she's a cult, oh look we win!"
If your primary reason was my playstyle, that's more fair. I'm bad at making reads and also think most reads are nonsense, so I don't like to do them. That's why most of my posts deal with game mechanics and known information (namely role PMs and votes). It's why I was more involved with the Blarg stuff than the Coppa vote. In general this all leads to me having pretty low activity on the first few days. Generally my goal on those days is just not to get killed, since I'm the one confirmed town I know. I acknowledge how this can be look suspicious.
Now that we have some more information with another outed cultist hopefully I can contribute more.
I do. It was a distraction we had to get rid of. Blarg couldn't let himself not be the topic of conversation. Matt winning was regrettable but wasn't really a big deal.
LoC was free to go back and forth on Blarg or Coppa because they were both fine to kill. So that lets them get a bunch of posts in where they are perfectly genuine since they have no horse in the fight and build their "cred".

Somethin' for us t' consider:
Assumin' that the cult can recruit players just like that, what would their gameplan be? Would they go the way of th' chicken hawk and prey upon less-vocal tourists who're less likely to get found out, or hunt like an eagle by tryin' t' nab the large an' in charge figures so that they can have an effective sleeper agent?
We don't even know how many cultists there are left, so we should be proceedin' very carefully in light'a this new information.
