Give me the chain. We're all here. Let's play.

ABR you can't sit here and say that part of what happened last phase was a bit of your fault? The moment we started haphazardly throwing the chain around is the moment me and cakez both got down to the bottom two. I'm not gonna chainsit but I need a few things before I pass it.

Things I'm wondering

1) Now that spring is no longer chainleader what did she gain out of her authoritarian rule last game and why did she come to the conclusions she did?
2) actually that's about it, besides a few other things

The vote was 4 to 1 for you to have the chain; everyone but springlullaby agreed.

My justification is that you claimed an active power role vs Beeboy's negative utility claim, and by protecting you we'd be playing towards the worst case outcome (scum in the hood, allows you to 'clear' someone in the hood by making them pass)

That being said.... why didn't you use your power?

Because if I wasted it then I'd never get to use it again

Luckily, you should be grateful I did given the fact I've been given some pretty new cool info, and how my role will get stronger as time goes on if I'm reading things correctly

So if you guys gave me the chain night 1 I'd be bulletproof that night

Lmao they really tried to shoot me
Scum was in the group though, they knew you had a vest :|
But nobody died, which doesn't make sense to me. Why would scum fail the quiz and then 'gambit' by not killing?

I appreciate the concern but as someone apart of the fail quiz you should start telling me who you think is the most likely.

Honestly I am not considering it very much. I thought quizzes is where town power came from.

Anyways I'm feeling spicy

The answer is 4

There are 4 people who participate the quiz this time. I assume this number goes down as less people are alive or the more chainleaders occur. What this means is that my role gets better over time and as the game goes on I can deadlock a positive outcome. This however makes Beeboy's negative utility worse the more the game lingers on however.

Farside looked towny IMO, changed my read there
People had a problem with Spring but I'm not convinced - I could use talking to on this from my pt mates
Starbuck was pushing Spring in a weird way IMO
Honestly, I think it's Raya if anyone. He's been playing it safe the whole time, there was a moment where I voted unwnd for the quiz and raya instantly hammered it in which caught me off guard. I think he may be playing a safe game here, emulating his last town game I was in - except I feel he had more analysis in that game

Reward: Town gets a JoaT
Fail: Mafia gets a JoaT

It wasn't specified who specifically got it, or what the powers were. I pointed out that if the quiz passes, town also got a confirmed town player

Because the quiz itself is kind of like a doctor? You make someone bp every night.
Pr stopping the kill is a possibility.

Dont propose a quiz team until the chain is at least halfway done.

Man this game is bullshit and I hate this setup

At that power level outside interference becomes far more reasonable tbh.

Dunn did you hammer me as chainleader before pass/fail? How did the vote exactly work in relation to pass/fail of the quiz? Because ABR does make a point that if scum was on the quiz they'd be shooting themselves in the foot for no reason

I don't get what you're asking; pass/fail was by pm, chain vote was in thread
