this phrasing concerns me actually. Specifically step 3: if you really believe Bee's reads were right why doesn't step 3 say "Titan is useless at this point"?

The mod received
every single answer
posted here when I had the actual time, and it was indeed Varsoon Variety Hour (guessed by no other then Chara).

I was/am in fact opposed to 'simply' solving all those puzzles and riddles. I always had a feeling that there would be no IC declared today, as I mentioned multiple times in the Skybird PT. I also said there that I'd want to be lynching Chara today, but it might not actually be the best move because obv third party.

Chara has been lying all game long here. Is anyone actually surprised that might have happened again?
If you think Chara is third party, how can it be declared IC?

----

I'm fine with either Titan or Parliament.
Titan is a safer and valueble option, while Parliament is a high risk-high reward strategy depending on who is picked for the PT.
It's been 2 nights, and we've only had 1 person die each night.

If
Chara
is a 3p, which I'm reserving a stance on that right now, I'm not lynching him before the wolves that are hiding in plain sight.

Um.... Because if there's 1 wolf left, they don't need night talk in the first place?

:facepalm: I can't even take your
"suspicious-posts"
seriously anymore.

~~~

If people are that uncertain about the direction this game should go, then
Parliament
may be the better overall option; but
Titan
is a DIRECT help to the town while
Parliament
depends on how the information we gain is used.

That's the most concise my thoughts are at the moment. Logistically, to me, it is smarter to go with a town-power that 100% works without fallacy.

To me, the game has one objective, and only one of those options DIRECTLY helps with that objective.

So, parliament!

Titus, your moonlogic is showing.

:p if Chara had ic'd yesterday, I would agree, have everyone claim to them, and then use that information to coordinate actions ro determine who didn't have something to pilot, as well as getting all the town to agree to pilot.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and we're not going to realistically gain the knowledge necessary to make that valuable.

this is a thought I had, we could conf town or scum if someone has an ability that only works on suits or only fails on suits

For the record, I myself have a method I could use to confirm who is in a suit or not, but it requires more information about what abilities people have in suits than I possess. Which is why I said I'd support that plan, IF we had someone everyone was willing to full claim to, so I could claim the mechanics of what I could do to them, and they could get everyone elses info and let me know if it would work. :-/

@Varsoon: For Parliament: How long will the PT remain open? Will individuals be able to post in it post-death? Is it available both day and night?
The Parliament at Dakar Stratagem PT would have Daychat and Nightchat, but would otherwise function like a regular PT created by this theme's mechanics--players who are dead would not be able to post in it and the PT will close if the theme ever stops being Gundam Mafia.

In post 4597, Reasonably Rational wrote:
@Varsoon: Will the composition of the Parliament be affected by anything which would change investigate results? For example, if a role existed for the town which stated they were considered a member of the scum faction for all purposes other than win condition, would that slot be able to be placed into that PT and occupy the "scum" slot? In short, is it possible for the PT to be composed of 4 slots aligned with the town, or would that be considered mod lying as far as you're concerned?
I'd consider that to be a moderator lie, as the Parliament at Dakar Stratagem specifies that it includes at least one player with a scum alignment.

Due to not having a post on-site in the last 5 days, I've become concerned about Venmar's activity.
Rules as written, a player shouldn't receive a prod until at least 48 hours of not posting in a single game Day--however, given the nature of the Stratagem phase, I feel it would be unfair for any player to absolutely miss this part of the game.
I'm putting out a prod on Venmar--if they don't respond to that prod within the next 24 hours, I'll be looking for a replacement for the slot.
In the meantime, the deadline for the Stratagem phase will be paused until Venmar returns or until I find a replacement for the slot.
While this does remove some of the intended deadline pressure of the mechanic, having an inactive slot is more harmful to the integrity of the game.
I suggest using this time to further familiarize yourselves with the updated game mechanics (in the opening posts) as well as continue play.

I'm also listening man.

Calling it a fake guilty isn't very helpful though. You haven't even interacted with it at all other than to say that. I've outlined the only scenarios that fit what happened, and you haven't actually responded to any of that either, even though some of those scenarios DO exonerate you.

prevents scum from working coherently with each other consistently, versus
Parliament
which could potentially help town. I'm bringing my thoughts on both here.

It’s been 12 hours and scum has already come up with a bullshit case on me -_- based on shitty NKA nonetheless

Did it not occur to you that Thor could have simply hidden behind espe

Furthermore, do you really think that I would be stupid enough to kill Thor as scum tonight...or if my teammates would let me...come on

In the large theme I am currently designing, there are a lot of wifom opportunities for scum...why, because good scum makes things as WIFOMy as possible

In fact, thor dying in a game where I had strict reads and most townread me suggests one thing...somebody is trying to frame me

I have been working with my group on a revised read list that I will post once I get home...changing it by taking into consideration the flips while remembering that at least some of my reads are right...Scum is trying to discredit me...I hope that most of you don’t fall for it

(My reads and vote coming this evening once I am back on a computer)
