CantLynchAPuppy saw Hectic gliding down towards the applemouthed Chara. Instead of a smooth even glide befitting his whale-like body, he was vibrating excitedly in a jittery awkward flight. Hectic's low resounding voice repeated "Goodie treat! Goodie treat! Goodie treat!" His wings wavered fast enough that CantLynchAPuppy could see what it was everyone had been talking about. He excitedly dashed forward, then leaped hard enough to land on the foe's back and stab him..
Except the armor laden dog only leapt and inch, not having nearly enough strength to move like he wanted in his costume.
CantLynchAPuppy whimpered and slowly got up, turning to Nahdia and hoping for some deus ex machina to replace his own inability.


With 12 alive and unspared, it takes 7 votes to make a decision.

damn. how can scum compete with this?

chara, what do you think of pooky? tanner? i played a game once with tanner where iw as technically scum, so i kind of think he sounds like that game, but i think my light tr is also half wanting him to be town so we can play town together as an apology. pooky just gives off good vibes. idk, it's kind of early still in day to have any good reads, but i'm bored with setup spec and i want to talk about something else

the most significant towntell from Pooky so far would be that he apparently did math for this.

i'll look at Tanner in a moment.
i scumread Elements. what do you think about them?

nothing but if you make a scumcase i'll sheep it. why do you scumread him? i def don't agree w/ the pro-spare argument, i'm trying to decide if arguing it is inherently scummy (this is on my mind wrt hectic too.) it's probably too extreme to just assume it has to be bad faith right?

Tanner's above null for now. i don't want to put a lot of weight in where he falls on the spare/fight debate. i have concrete thoughts on this but i want Tanner back in the thread first, so you can ask me again after that happens.

catboi also gets that sweet and soft earlygame TR for the Puppy vote (that i disagree with) and for the setup math (that is really very NAI).
so what i mean is catboi gets the earlygame TR for no real reason besides i say so.

we should maybe have a vote whether to go the spare or fight route for winning the game.

first quoted post is what pinged. i mentioned i thought it was likely a joke but the lackadaisical attitude is what's rubbing me the wrong way. there's a desire to spare but no
determination
to find that town to spare, yet.

Mech talk is totally losing me. I could give out townreads to people doing the math (for the effort or something) but like, SO many people did and I don't think it's something outside of what scum would do. It's objective stuff i assume, there's a right and wrong, it's NAI

I like Chara though. This is a really good point
In post 126, Chara wrote:but if we spare today? sure, mafia wants Chara to be spared, but if they feel it won't happen they aren't backed into a corner like that.
Picture this:

Several people are like "Ahh we should spare and stuff cause scumChara's flip will help us know who their buddies are cause their buddies want them to be spared"

*2 spares later and scumChara dies*

And then those same people point the blame at everyone who wanted scumChara spared, when in reality the actual scum just ignored scumChara afterall because of course they knew that'd happen. Scum uses this misinformation to win the game

So at least Chara is conscious of that and points it out rather than trying to (potentially) abuse it

i also somewhat like that it is getting scumpings from Elements so early and has a serious vote on him

Oh my god. MorningTweet just stole my post intro. I should just post what I have if I can't drudge up anything else:

I am so sorry for being utterly useless. Statistics make my brain melt.
I would say I have reads but what ones I made out were counterbalanced from what I could understand of setup talk.
All I got is: The quick estimate Pooky gave I do no give out town points for (regardless ty for your contribution) and the ones who went the extra mile (catboi, Prism). Maf wouldn't fuckin bother, or think to, anyway. Esp. with how "focusing on game mechanics" is looked at.

(ΦωΦ)For the record, I ran those numbers pregame and you should absolutely not townread effort in that vein, but the difference in EV is so significant that I wouldn't have bothered outing it as mafia because I'd be torpedoing my own team's chances

im also in the boat of i dont really care about the mech talk or evs. i think theyre silly and good play and the human element matters more than whats going on on paper. depending on the lobby different strats will work better or worse. none of these strats appear to break the game.

anyway, HEAL: Morning
