FGO: Mafia in the Lostbelt (Game Over!)

[Servant Beast]

I bet Cabd is fucking dying in the mod PT about people thinking it's smart to not elect a townread.

And yet... Here we are with several people who want to do that...

[Servant Beast]

I'm not quite sure what consequences I would face as town to being Ic'd and unkillable for 2 days.

I really need to make sure my town read isn't because your posts make me smile.

[Servant Moon Cancer]

Cabd's probably numb to anything I'm saying by now. My theories about game balance around the master phase are probably the least of it. (I don't even know if he's still reading anything I'm writing, he stopped commenting on my stuff like 7 pages ago.)

[Servant Archer]

he stopped commenting on my stuff

scumslip lol

[Servant Assassin]

I pretty much figured Assassin.

I'm surprised you didn't do that to lancer instead, but he isn't here.

lancer would probably come off too weird given my earlier tunnel on them but mostly archer was around and their silence on the subject was more conspicuous from what i noticed

[Servant Avenger]

Thanks buddy. You're town regardless of what color your role pm is.

[Servant Ruler]

I won't have anything relevant to add until the morning.

Just noting the boomer energy.

FOS.

[Servant Assassin]

avenger can you give me the short case for why you should get the vote beyond "me want"

[Servant Archer]

he stopped commenting on my stuff

what is meant by "commenting"?

[Servant Moon Cancer]

? What is meant by "what is meant by commenting"?

[Servant Archer]

isn't a mod not supposed to comment about your notes and stuff?

[Servant Avenger]

1. I'm a pain for scum to deal.
2. I take control of the game away from them in an unspecified manner.
3. I won't fuck up handing out the master to other players (in all likelihood).

[Servant Assassin]

¿What is meant by "? What is meant by "what is meant by commenting"?"?

[Servant Moon Cancer]

isn't a mod not supposed to comment about your notes and stuff?

Probably.

[Servant Assassin]

I'm null on beast.
Rider is weird to me, because I think he'd be more helpful than he's being if he's town this game.

Actually, I guess that means I'm actively scum reading rider tbh.

rider was already at "can't townread" in my notes and has fallen in my estimation with recent contributions from some (not all) of the lowposters

i am largely with the people wary of you in spirit but i'm very tempted to yolo vote you

Yolo, no regrets.

[Servant Assassin]

have something i want to finish first

[Servant Caster]

Did you make me a collage? You shouldn't have.

[Servant Alter Ego]

I go off and do a dnd campaign and miss the party.

I really wish i knew what I was supposed to be looking at in order to get a good read on Moon Cancer because I am just coming up blank right now.
I am likely going to be crowd sourcing that read and absolving myself of all fault if the consensus is wrong. Thank you everyone for your understanding.

I'm feeling a little bit better about Moon Cancer, but I can't find good words for why. Part of it is that while they have just ignored stuff they don't want to engage, and yet they do engage in banter here and there and they've been very clear on some extremely consequential aspects of how they see the game mechanics. And that eliminated them from the pool of people to upgrade, which says something about how they want to play this game on a personal level. The idea of using the master upgrade as an investigation is a challenging way of looking at the game mechanics. The idea scared me at first, but it is a consequence of the mechanic. We can play it as safely as possible or we can take risks.

I'm on team "play it safe", but mafia is a bloodthirsty manipulative game and risk/reward is a thing.

No worries. Anything I can do to help. Other than being helpful.

I irl laughed.

Caught up again, and wtf, how is Assassin a top contender for master?

Someone asked me about my scum reads earlier and I didn't explain them before because moon caster said something funny about agreeing with me on them and when I asked them to explain they never acknowledged it and then the conversation just kept going with noone calling them on it while I was gone.

Current scum reads, in no particular order: moon, assassin, and Archer.

I removed alter from my earlier scum reads because I feel a bit better about them.

You can add me to the list of people over this zero phase. Also against the idea of a town block day zero, and embarrassed that I even have to say that.

I need to reorient myself. I've been treating this as a normal day and reading this thread while looking for scum and town but that's not right.

VOTE: beast

Pretty sure this person is town.

I found the reactions to the townblock application interesting and maybe useful. That's where I should have started feeling better about Moon Cancer, but I was still pretty spooked.

are you trying to get scumread

I'm glad you're here to point out the scummy stuff. It's gonna be ez-mode!

@Alter Ego 488: Yes, none of them have done anything particularly impressive in the time since. Archer is still quote striping, Rider is still including unnecessary pro-town pomp to their posts, Lancer seems to be getting needlessly agitated by things I wouldn't expect a townie to get agitated about (see the response to my desire for Master Caster as one example).

I don't see some of what you're pointing out as alignment indicative. It's an anonymous game, so we don't actually know if the stuff you're talking about here is pure personality or not. Your thoughts about Lancer

may

hold water because you're talking about reactions to game content.

An anonymous game would be incredibly boring if as well as unremarkable, unchosen avatars and names, we also posted like robots. I'm glad that there's personality and emotions in the posts.

No one is gunning to buddy me.
And quite honestly I am fairly open to being praised in exchange for my eternal loyalty.

What am I? Chopped liver?

Making a universal town read the one who gets the master legitimately seems like the worst use of the master phase I can think of. And I've like...

thought of a lot of stupid things in this game

.

We're just not on your level. Do you still think using it as an investigation on Assassin is the best option? (I should answer this myself with an iso. So if your opinion hasn't changed, add this to the list of ignorable questions.)

been reviewing ISOs for science and i decided my issues with archer were probably stylistic, sort of unconfortable with how many people seem to be scumreading them? i think they'd do a good job

VOTE: archer

I feel like this is going to be a consequential post somewhere down the line.

And after a solid week of sitting around talking about how to best use this power, I highly doubt anyone is going to be persuaded to believe anything that doesn't align with their current beliefs.

My beliefs have taken 2 major hits in the last 3 pages, and I'm not even caught up. So you never know.

We aren't targeting a null read. Those end up being scum way too much.

what about voting you, instead

I would like that. IC is fun for me, but my role doesn't have much utility even with power up but I can still power up others. Idk how much of an issue that is.
Why don't you want to be mastered again?

oh i do. i don't actually townread you at all lmao, just wanted to see what you'd say in response to being voted because you hadn't made any comment on it

UNVOTE:

Standing down from high alert.

I'm not really sure I'm getting this with all the arm twisting I'm doing.
That usually doesn't work on people. It just builds resentment imo.

@Beast, no I got that part.

I don't feel resentment at all.

Do people think Rider is town? I'd vote Rider. I'd also vote Beast if people think that slot is town.

I do think Rider is town. I feel like there's a small hole in this game though, where interactions between you and Rider should be.

I keen wanting to write "Riker" instead of "Rider".

--------------------------

Well, that was a wild ride.

[Servant Moon Cancer]

Do you still think using it as an investigation on Assassin is the best option?

Not really using it on him as an investigation at this point so much as none of the other viable options are any better so I cbf moving it elsewhere. It's probably not going to be used in a way I prefer so I don't actually care who gets it of the other current viable candidates.

[Servant Moon Cancer]

Honestly, it doesn't really matter so much who gets it probably. Even if it was wasted on the most obvtown player that ever obvtowned, it's probably inconsequential as far as the outcome of the game is concerned.

I still like thinking about the theory behind the different options but it's not actually going to affect how I play the game. So really, just pick someone and move on instead of worrying about who's better than who tbh.

[Servant Shielder]

I am emphatically stating I would like to be the choice today.
Assassin says he doesn't NOT want it.
I want it hands up, frantically waving.

Assassin has trust issues and I have trust issues with anyone but me getting it.

@Pedit: thanks assassin.

uhhhh

been reviewing ISOs for science and i decided my issues with archer were probably stylistic, sort of unconfortable with how many people seem to be scumreading them? i think they'd do a good job

VOTE: archer

so i think my top townreads are saber beast and alter ego. berserker is town probs too. VOTE: saber

[Servant Moon Cancer]

What's Saber done that you think is town?
