Micro 885: Crown on the Ground (Game Over)

[Hectic]

VOTE: Hectic RCE hammer it?
I don't want to NL

This is so scummy btw. Reconsidered my read on pops given she essentially drove the wagon around to me when we could've just lynched Drew, and then tried to get someone to hammer me without letting me claim.

[gameplay506]

Tho I'm still not sure why pops shouldn't claim. I mean scum know she has a pr now so it won't be as if we are outing a pr.

[Hectic]

Gameplay is strong town given the end of last day's events.

Agreed, some kind of claim if not a fully transparent one is warranted here

[gameplay506]

Im just wary that leaving scumpops alone with whatever she has gathered from the crown might turn out to be fatal down the line.
Also the whole RCE situation is veryy sketchy.

[gameplay506]

Based on the level of power you got and not what you got specifically. Is it worth the risk of scum picking up something similar?

Proposing nobody gets the crown when Hectic is practically conftown atm lol

[popsofctown]

The counterplay for PRs varies, gameplay. And scum rolestopper seems like a good fit for this setup.

I did make some-kind-of-not-fully-transparent-claim, I have an ability, and we should still lynch scum.

My power makes me think we should crown Hectic today.


re: the Hectic lynch, Drew was always my preferred lynch, but there was very few hours left to deadline, and I counted exactly 5 potential voters online, one of which was Drew, who did not demonstrate willingness to self-vote. I was certain a no-lynch was going to happen but was pleasantly surprised when people started showing up and the thread had much more activity than average near deadline.

pedit: uh RCE didn't say no one gets the crown, he said don't risk scum picking it up. Giving it to Hectic counts as don't risk scum picking it up. He is 110% conftown unless Micc approved something close to bastard which he wouldn't.

Egduf (1) - Egduf

Also this makes me think edguf is town
If she was scum with somebody given the talk of crowning her the previous day I think she and her buddy would attempt to swing the crown in her favor. Voting herself alone just seems like she was in the dark like any other.

[gameplay506]

My power makes me think we should crown Hectic today.

You do seem a bit unsure here
Your power or not your power, logic dictates that we should crown Hectic tonight. There is basically no way that scumHectic does a claim like that

[popsofctown]

Trying to crown VTs in search of badass powers is tempting. But you're right that I

shouldn't

be unsure, that's the fun greedy play not the safe correct play. Safe correct play is crown the IC.

No idea why they put ICs in a find the townie setup, bad design.

[gameplay506]

And scum rolestopper seems like a good fit for this setup.

How?

[gameplay506]

Well since Oversoul confirmed that crown powers are not random(at least I remember so?) Hectic probably isn't getting some amazing power but still it's what should be done.

[RCEnigma]

I have more shots, all good.

[popsofctown]

And scum rolestopper seems like a good fit for this setup.

How?

A roleblocker is too boring with the crown mechanic but a rolestopper can block some of the crown abilities

[gameplay506]

Um by definition - "A Rolestopper is a role that can target a player to stop all other Night actions from affecting them in any way."
That seems way too op if in the hands of scum-basically one scum renders the other immune to everything for the whole game.
If our only roles are bg and masons it seems a little over the top for scum to have.

[popsofctown]

I didn't say ungated rolestopper, there's already one limited shots role in the game.

[gameplay506]

Yea true
Still against masons and bg?
I mean its only purpose would be to protect from whatever the crown might give. So not only does a townie need to get crowned but that townie has to target the scum that is not a rolestopper(unless he can target himself). It seems like a bit of a stretch.
If anything x-shot roleblocker seems way more probable.

[gameplay506]

Whatever, what I'm getting at is that you really shouldn't be afraid of getting stopped now. You claimed to have a permanent ability so there really isn't any other viable target but you right now.
But ok I will stop pushing there right now and hear how others think about that.
Anyway is there anything noteworthy to share about the crown or nah?

[popsofctown]

I feel really pretty.

[gameplay506]

One last thing before I go:

RCE's claim gets even more questionable with Hectic's claim

He is 110% conftown unless Micc approved something close to bastard which he wouldn't.

What made you go from questionable to conf town?

[gameplay506]

Oh shit that was directed at hectic.
Disregard that one
BYE FROM ME

[gameplay506]

[popsofctown]

what? RCE is still hella questionable. Hectic is 110% conftown. The "he" in post 580 is Hectic. These posts are aligned.

pedit: lol

[RCEnigma]

Im just wary that leaving scumpops alone with whatever she has gathered from the crown might turn out to be fatal down the line.
Also the whole RCE situation is veryy sketchy.

Pops dies tonight since I'm on Hectic so like... There isn't a reason for paranoia atm. I'm also assuming the power is usable the same night as receiving it.

[RCEnigma]

And scum rolestopper seems like a good fit for this setup.

How?

Umm this makes it seem like you're able to choose from multiple abilities?

[RCEnigma]

Well since Oversoul confirmed that crown powers are not random(at least I remember so?) Hectic probably isn't getting some amazing power but still it's what should be done.

The crown seems more like a supplemental thing at this point. Just having a confirmed townie around reduces the Poe.
