Micro 960: A Year of Miccros II - Game Over

[Datisi]

though the mark was compulsive if i recall that gams correctly... i need to go dig it up

[skitter30]

Scum might be people who:
- didnt find pooky's 'weird' claim to be that surprising on the face of it
- pushed back on me thinking this was normal-adjacent

MAFIA GOON

Welcome, [player name], you are a 

Mafia Goon

.
Abilities:
- Factional communication: At any time you may talk with your partners HERE
- Mark for Death: Each night phase, you and your partner must select a single target to "mark". The marked player will be publicly be confirmed as marked at the start of the following day, and will die at the same time as the following day's lynch is achieved.

Win Condition:
- You win if at least half of the living players are mafia.

i'm assuming one scum is a "normal" goon and one scum is a "marking" goon? in a way they confirm their target as town and they die at the end of the next day rather than night, but it's a way to circumvent the bodyguard...

[Datisi]

but why use it now??? sigh i don't think i'm gonna get far trying to guess that...

[skitter30]

Ya

Pedit idk
That's why my first thought was Doubt at tw, like why kill me in this way over just letting him die ???

[Datisi]

oh, maybe there is hope of final 3 being tw/s_s/raven instead??? i welcome that tbh

Scum might be people who:

- pushed back on me thinking this was normal-adjacent

can you talk about the first point? is that assuming scum!pooky or?

pedit: maye right because of that? liek this throws massive doubt over tw... but i still wanna believe the "partner role without a partner" theory... also why would scum!tw claim bg if he was just gonna do THIS the next day

[Datisi]

i have Thoughts on why scum might have decided to do *This* instead the normal kill but i dunno if there's merit in getting it out atm

hit me up later maybe

[skitter30]

No, town pooky. Like i kinda thought the blank vig /bomb thing was kinda unlikely since i thought it was normal-adjacent. But scum knew it wasnt so they would really be surprised to see a 'weird' role

[Something_Smart]

skitter30 has been Marked for Death Night 2. She will die at the end of Day 3.

huh

[Something_Smart]

Is it bad that i feel like my solve is currently ss/pooky?

a) yes
b) are you saying that I would ask the mod the question that confirms my partner's claim as fake and then somehow not bus him
c) go read koba again
d) I would know better than to voluntarily enter mylo over lylo??

[Something_Smart]

Ya

The fact that marking exists in the setup is obviously indicative of a protective role though

e) why do I kill lilith who is locktowning me

[the worst]

PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY

[the worst]

I can't decide whether I should be laughing or crying but this is fucking wild

[Datisi]

[d) I would know better than to voluntarily enter mylo over lylo??

why is this a point? or like why is lylo so much better for scum here than mylo?

tw town yes?

PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY

NOPE YOU GET TO SUFFER MORE WITH THE REST OF US

[Something_Smart]

Datisi how are you feeling about Raven

I swear you keep answering this and yet I still don't know, it's very weird

[Something_Smart]

why is this a point? or like why is lylo so much better for scum here than mylo?

Because you only have to fool one townie rather than two?

[the worst]

I like. Don't think datisi is scum here at all. The mark got through my bg so I kind of just don't care whether Pooky's claim is real or not and will go and sort thru dayplay

[the worst]

this

also fuck being scum in mylo with town!skitter alive

[Something_Smart]

Like if I'm scum with Pooky, I'm clearly not going for the megabus angle, so I think there's at least a chance we can both endgame. So why would I make that job way way harder while keeping alive a duck who's objectively terrifying?

[Datisi]

Datisi how are you feeling about Raven

imagine i'm currently holding a gun that i keep pointing at you then at raven then at you then at raven again because sumtin don't ADD UP

why is this a point? or like why is lylo so much better for scum here than mylo?

/shrug, i guess
i've heard the train of thought be "i'd rather be scum in mylo than lylo since there's more misexe options open" but like (1) with conftown skitter that's not the case and (2) yeah i guess.

[Something_Smart]

I think scum saw a shiny toy and wanted to play with it

is "scum!s_s fears town!duck" correct?

[Something_Smart]

Quite

[Datisi]

sigh. i'm trying to analyze the "night"kill choice but... yeah i'm not sure if it matters for today anyway.
