Game feels like super awkward or something. Maybe we should try a team building exercise where we say who we are and something we like and dislike.

Here I'll start Hi I'm batsnacks I like old public access television shows and I dislike sweets.

R-right...of course. How could I have been so blind? It only makes sense in this game of wrestling and turns that betrayal will happen. Yes. From now on, I'll cast away my old naive self...so that I can become a brand new egg.

Hi I'm Seath, I like looking at people and imagine what they would look like with four eyes, especially when someone is talking to me. I also like cats. I dislike soda or anything like it. I also dislike kissing because saliva is gross

Are you saying SalivaPot is gross.

Is that what you are saying.

Not necessarily. Have you smelled saliva?

Even if you wash your teeth and put on some mouthwash, because or the chemical composition and the bacteria in our mouth saliva still has a unique smell I'm not fond of.

I honestly don't know why people ignore it. Just think that you're exchanging saliva when you're kissing your significant other. That in my opinion is disgusting in its own way.

Y'all should stick your fingers on your mouths right now for ten seconds, salivate, and then smell it.

Yeah that's saliva for you! Disgusting isn't it?

I like it. Its wet. Its sour, its drippy. Its genuine. Swapping Saliva is third right next to swapping money in my list of Top 10 things I like to swap around.
 
VOTE: Seath

I don't like his fixation on Burb, it feels weird to me. He's changed his vote now and he claims that he simply had a gut feeling about Burb being a threat, but it still feels off personally.

Other topics:

I have no clue what's going on with squidy, as his entire claim situation feels really weird to me. I think his interpretation of Kawl is worth considering however. Nothing about Kawl screams SCUMSCUMSCUM to me, but I can sort of see what squidy is getting at.

I'm fine with Squidyj. If you want to know why, think Archer.

My stance on Burb is unchanged.

Batsnacks is odd. If it's mandatory, than he was going to be forced to claim at some point, though I wish he had kept the Hulk Hogan part hidden as a potential foil to scum claims, or as potential confirmation for a role cop. He'll be a scum target for sure, though overall it depends on how well he uses his double vote. Much like Burbeting, the longer he survives the more suspicious it becomes.

Cabot, you're better than asking a player to cheat for role confirmation. Come on, man!

squid, any logic behind your claim beyond lolgambits?

I wonder how squid's role interacts with Burb's? I'm guessing we won't know for sure, but what do you think squid? Based on your role pm
Squidy pls respond.
Why did you claim? (or at least, did you have a reasonably good reason?)
What result do you think you would get from a miller?

I no longer think Burb would be the best target for this, but it would be nice to know if it's an option.

Re: Kawl,
Nothing he's said so far makes me lean either way. I see what squidy is saying, but he's reaching like crazy (which is natural), I'm unconvinced.

I don't understand the part where squidy doesn't want to check Kawl. I think Kawl is a very capable scum player and if squid really suspects him he'd be a great candidate for a check.

Squid, why are you against checking Kawl?

Wassup, errbody. I'm Bowlie, I like the sound of the trombone, and I dislike not knowing how to play it.

Seath, I don't think I ever paid attention to the smell of saliva.

Squid, hell if I know what you wanna accomplish. I don't think you're lying, but I don't see the reason behind this.

I'm squidyj, I like novel real time global illumination algorithms and audiophile quality headphones and I hate nacho cheese.

I'm glad there's someone else in the rabbit hole.

1) I'm fine with Squidyj. If you want to know why, think Archer.

2) Cabot, you're better than asking a player to cheat for role confirmation. Come on, man!

1) Can I assume that this is to do with Squidy fake claiming lightning rod?

2) I admit it was in the heat of the moment and I'm disappointed in myself. I apologize.


Thoughts:

batsnacks: Leaning town on this and the claim seems legit, nin has done a vote count after his double without mentioning rules. The good thing is that he should be killed sooner rather than later, so like Palmer I see no problem with letting him live, if he starts living quite long then we need to revisit.

squidyj; Reasons I can believe this role claim:

  1. I used this ability in Election to clear nin himself, so I can see it being in his own game
  2. Until I see credible evidence otherwise, I'm going to assume The Authority are the scum team and Shane McMahon has always been the black swan in the storylines so he being town aligned is believable
  3. I was under the impression squidy doesnt follow wrasslin, and Shane wouldn't be my first goto claim as a casual/non-fan.

Reasons I struggle with this claim:

  1. He claimed before he used it, then said he didn't plan on using it today. Considering scum would want to eliminate this ability because it could find one of them or confirm a townie, it's a poor decision.
  2. The 'It's as real as Wrestling' line. We all know wrasslin ain't real.

I used my power first, I was the vote frontrunner in Election for most of D1, but it eventually got to nin and as soon as he was majority I used it, got the result and claimed after the fact. Note that with my role in Election, I was able to check myself as vote leader. It was obviously a waste of a power so I didn't want that to happen.


I'd really like Bear to check in, there's more than enough material to comment on.

Thanks, please.

VOTE: Burbeting

Oh wait, he fake claimed cop as well didn't he.

Either way, I think I know what you're talking about, Palmer. A confirmation would help.

Squid, why are you against checking Kawl?

I mean I was told I was a cop, nowhere is it indicated that I would pierce burbeting's miller aura so I am fairly certain that i would be 'right on the money' if I checked burb.

As for reasons. I went to an Ivy League school, I'm very highly educated. I know reasons, I have the best reasons.

If scum is the Authority, would Shane be a better fit for Miller?

I havent watched much recently and not even heard of "The Authority", but I thought Punk would be very clearly against them (assuming it's HHH/the McMahons/etc)

A case could be made here as well, yes. I thought CM Punk was the Miller because of the way he left the company, burning bridges left and right. A lot of fans really don't like him because of the way he handled it.

is 'right on the money' your scum positive result?

I thought your command would be 'here comes the money'


Do you think you'll survive the night, squidy? If so, why? PR or do you think scum won't go for you?

Mind telling those of us who are too lazy to read the other games what happened in Archer?

I was a town one-shot lightning rod, but I lied a lot. I told everyone I was the cop when I had reason to believe it was darryl. then I told them I had additional charges, then I told them my power was special if I went on the mission at night.

I should add that in my fake claim I fake claimed I had a red check on one of the actual scum. also i claimed one more check than was possible but i got it to work anyway

You wouldn't want to know this is you are town. You asked the same thing about me: "surely you have some kind of protection of you are town?" Or something to that effect.

Eh, it's not particularly relevant either way, I'm just trying to piece together the claim to see if I believe it.


As for you, I am still unsure why you're mechanically different from other games, and its a mechanic that is public, which puts you at much higher risk as town. I think there should be something to help you with that.

Well you've heard it hear folks. Let's go ahead and wrap up day 1 we've got scum. Squidyj is just so much god damn smarter and better at this game than the rest of us.

I really should have known having the audacity to have posts on the lighter side of serious on day 1 would be my down fall. Woe is me.

As far as Cabot asking questions, the protection thing is suspicious, but the command verifying makes sense from a town perspective. He's trying to unravel the pack of probable lies from squid. I dislike the way he is going about it from a meta perspective but what are you going to do.

The point is if there is something to help me then you shouldn't want to know, cause then mafia would know. The same for squid.

What is the mafia agenda in getting protective roles to claim? More informed night actions that will do more damage to town.

What is the town agenda in getting protective abilities to claim? None.

Difference between you and squid is you haven't been a shifty character and you have reasonable logic behind your claim (since you can't not double vote).

Well sure if I was absolutely ironclad you were town. I'm unsure on it, more information helps me make a stronger conclusion.
 

cabot

Not much I can do, my point was made before and you've made it clear why giving that information is bad.

You're not a good lynch candidate today as I've said before. You're a problem that scum will have to deal with at some point if you're not on their side.


I kind of feel Bear is telling the truth about his Miller claim, but so far he's making me uneasy because he seems to have lost the will to play this game.

Scrafty and RNH using heels and faces in their lingo is interesting for d1, but there isnt really anything on either of them that I would go for.


Has anyone not posted yet?

Asking people to claim (specifically) any protective abilities they may/may not have is a weird way get a stronger conclusion on their alignment.

My thinking is to do with the publicity of your ability. You couldn't hide it. You couldn't just vote normally and then double when you felt it was absolutely necessary. I've not seen that before, and I think it's unbalanced. Woof 2 had the sheriff, but it was a confirmed town role which I felt brought adequate balance.

I see where you're coming from, but this is the equivalent to asking someone for a role claim. Bats' claimed role is slightly unusual, but it doesn't make me so suspicious that I need him to full claim.

The sheriff wasn't exactly confirmed town. We had a mafia sheriff for half of woof 2.

I thought it was if the sheriff died the deputy became the new sheriff and crimson was the sheriff for a long time and was mafia.

Yeah that's how it works, that doesn't contradict what I said. The first sheriff was Drop, and his role PM was made public before the game started. He then deputised Crimson. He was killed N1 and the double ability was passed to scum Crimson, but he didn't become the sheriff role.

Some early D1 thoughts:

Don't like Seath so far, but frustratingly this seems pretty much normal for Seath, from when I've played with them before. I'd consider them a lynch so far. Palmers always a tough read and he's been very pragmatic this phase, which doesn't really lean anything to me. It's just something noteworthy. Need to wait and see what else he says.

I'm not sure on Squidy's claim, but so far I'm not getting scum from him. It's either a gambit of some form (I thought maybe he was trying to bait people into controlling where we should vote) or it could be true and he's went about his role in a very strange way. Salva, Kalor, CornBro and Scrafty are pretty much null reads currently, they're all playing as I expect at this stage.

RNH is okay but I didn't like having to ask why he was between Seath and Palmer, he quickly offered up a reason though so it's not major. nukedeggs showed a little apprehension at discussing Burb, which was odd but could also be newbie jitters. Kawl is playing differently from what I remember but I don't see anything good or bad about it yet. I'm not sure about Retro, he seems to be playing mentor at some points, then amused spectator in others. I've not really seen anything of a real opinion from him.
