The Trials - ENDGAME

[Titus]

OP is original post or opening post.

[Noraa]

I read it all. still don't get what "trials" are but its alright I'm sure I'll understand someday lmao. Alright ISO time.

[Noraa]

First thing I notice in DrippingGoofballs posts is the lack of solving, the huge amounts of fluff, the sheeping, and the lack of evidence to back up any argument. Not necessarily scummy but definitely antitown.

Spoiler:

Why are you pointing me to your signature? Is there a town or scum game you want me to examine there to compare to this game?

To prove that I have played games on this account, and therefore have not created this specifically for this game

PL very aggressive towards shellyc here, it looks like

Day 1

bus'ing.

day 1 bussing. seriously not to be rude but wtf. scums don't bus day 1. especially when they don't have any power roles and there's only 3 of them -________-

That is VERY GOOD.

I can get behind this.

VOTE: shellyc

Sheeping without providing some sort of ur own input is a BAD BAD look trust me.

Princess Leia's ISO also looks worse than it felt in real time. Deliberately obtuse/disingenuous style decidedly anti-town. I hope we can eliminate that slot today, so I dont have to actually go through it again and explain why it is so scummy.

I could get on board with that.

And then the next post in ur iso that catches my eye is another sheeping post. Or more precisely its in preparation of some sheeping.

shelly, that's -1, if you have a town PR, time to claim!

I WON'T FALL FOR IT LMFAO

I have a curse that I get to E-1 in all d1's I've completed

Stalling scum right here, ladies and germs.

Im salty you ended up being a part of shelly's lim. I care much for mah very first scum partner <3

Other than a vote for Leia and whiteknighting Talylor Swift, Nosferatu's posts are mostly idle socializing, and even pretty weak sauce at that.

I'm town.

PlusJOY is acting very townie today.
VOTE: Nosferatu

"I'm town" Not an acceptable thing to say for someone who has been on this site since 2005. It's literally the weakest thing u could ever say.

Vecna is town.

No explanation again. I can see that as scum uninterested in solving but maybe its just playstyle since its quite consistent according to the ISO

Onto the next ISO

[Titus]

I read it all. still don't get what "trials" are but its alright I'm sure I'll understand someday lmao. Alright ISO time.

Nobody knows what happens in the trials but the executed.

[Noraa]

First thing I notice in Nosferatu's posts is the lack of content and the absolute love of fluff and rvs. I used to think I loved them the most. Turns out I was wrong.

Spoiler:

vote taylor

super SRS, can even wagon nosferatu

i respect a mans right to self-determination

does this come off as genuine paranoia to you, shelly?

it does.

So you think that town would geniunely think that finishing your username by a "C" is scummy?

personally i think names ending in x to be much more scummy
whats the x stand for?
what are you hiding?

VOTE: leia
no one is allowed to vote taylor
id vote you all if i could

this is early in the game I understand but it definitely still strikes me as light pocketing which I am not liking.

I semi-forgot about this game.

I need to stop forgetting about stuff, can someone give me a tl;dr with the 6 new pages

also replacements don't just happen for inactivity, force-replacement is a way to solve a compromised slot but you're not supposed to discuss replacements anyways

We caught you in a scumslip.

VOTE: shelly

ik u probably will but pls eggsplain

i need no further explanation VOTE: shellyc

I don't like this progression here.

ISO looks bland and nullish maybe a scumlean tbh

not really showing much effort to solve

ur iso isn't exactly spicy either

terrible reply. shelly's right. you aren't showing effort to solve.

do u wonder about where ants are going when they carry a piece of bread ?

if ur town u will find ur way

wtf this isn't rvs anymore.

True let's get this game moving

VOTE: nosferatu

please get this goon bro

OMGUS is what this here looks like.

[Noraa]

Ok ik Plus is generally LHF but holy shit I want a plus lim asap. I feel pretty strongly about this SR on him for a few reasons that I might go into more detail about in another post

Spoiler:

Honestly, sending yourself to trial shouldn't alignment based/thought about. Like, I could volunteer myself to go to trial just to experience what it is and hope for the best result. I know what I -want- my result to be, but yeah. Don't look too deep into it.

Actually, imo it's a bit of a towntell. Assuming maf has day chat, wouldn't the mafia buddies freak out in the PT and make him take it back? But he didn't really. Granted maf could just not care or be inacive as they don't think it'll go anywhere, so it's a pretty weak towntell. But i think its a towntell nonetheless

"I think mafia has day chat" is a very LAMIST thing to say and the overall vibe hear is not rubbing me the right way.

@Mod V/LA until Sunday EST

so yeah hoping there won't be too much to catch up on

sheep queen

how dare you.

shit bros my mafia processing power is having trouble booting im in too many games
i do think pete is sus though UNVOTE:
VOTE: pete

zero explanation but then again this is pretty typical for plus.

yes. PlusJoy is a stronger scumread to me atm with even less of a solving mindset / overall blendiness

jokes on you im trying to get put on trial town be damned
guess I haven't done a good job if only you have voted me, how can I scumslip harder?

I really really really dislike this post. It's hella provocative and is faking a sort of real pure townie energy in being like I aint afraid of getting limmed.

oh i know how i can get SR easily
UNVOTE:
VOTE: shellyc

this is really provocative as well.

plusjoyed, why do you want to be tried?

it'd be fun i think and i want to see what the trials are

nu uh I don't like this post. The vibe is off. Town wouldn't say that this far into the game.

Plusjoyed hasn't posted in more than 3 days. That should say something.

no im just lurking
i've decided on noseferatu but since we're all sus as hell im not gonna tryhard to manipulate the peoples choice

Very lamest vibe saying all these townie things about not being afraid of dying but then doing so many TSTBS things.

is that me?
Well if it is I kinda just absentmindedly lolhammered shelly, thinking trials might be fun since I was having trouble sorting people and keeping up. Then afterwards I thought I'd at least try to get the scum in the gladiate so I don't just throw. I'm still happy to go if you want me to however

"accidentally hammering" is a scum tell in itself. Panicked sounding explaining is not rubbing me the right way either

[Noraa]

Plus is being super LAMISTy and TSTBSy. Ik these are absolute opposites but he is definitely using both of them a shit ton. I see quite some sheeping from plus this round which is pretty typical as well but accusing others of sheeping isn't rubbing me the right way. One thing I've never seen from plus before is a lot of provoking. I've never ever seen this from plus and it is one of the things that is triggering this really strong SR from me. All the stuff about wanting to get limmed and being curious about the trials is VERY VERY LAMIST. Admitting to lurking is VERY LAMIST. "accidentally hammering" is TSTBS.

Plus' vibe and everything this round are not right. I think he's scum. I really do.

[Noraa]

Can someone give me an unofficial vc? if plus is not at E-1, my votes going there

[Titus]

Send to the Trial 2.4

Nosferatu (5)PlusJOYED;Saudade;Tayl0r Swift;DrippingGoofball;Gypyx;

PlusJOYED (5)Titus;Vecna;Marashu;Pickaxe Pete;Fidget;

Not Voting (2) EddieFenix;pob long;

DrippingGoofball (1)Nosferatu;

With 13 alive, you need 7 to send someone to the trials with absolute majority vote, and 2 to send someone to the trials with relative majority vote at the end of the day. No Elimination is disabled.

Day 2 will end in (expired on 2020-10-04 09:09:09) or when someone has been sent to the trials by absolute majority.

This VC is current.

[Noraa]

Hmmm imma actually wait until I hear from nos, plus, and goofball before I vote

UNVOTE: nos

[Tayl0r Swift]

the original post. in open setups and theme games the mod usually posts at least some info about the setup in the first post of the thread. you should read it.

[Noraa]

already did :3

[Tayl0r Swift]

Public Information

This game starts with 12 Vanilla Townies and 3 Mafia Goons.
The three first executions are replaced by trials. People going to trials are removed just like with an execution, but still have something to do that affects gameplay. There are six possible trials, based on day number and alignment.
These trials will be

difficult

, especially town trials, and townies failing them will lose the game(for themselves). Passing town trials helps town. It might hurt town if these trials fail. It will hurt scum if scum fails their trials. The following results are possible:Horrible, Failure, Pass, Perfect Score. Only townies can have a perfect score, and those who get one win the game for themselves. Townies will lose the game for themselves if they get Failure, and everyone will lose the game for themselves if they get Horrible(including Mafia).
The results of trials can be changed by other trials.
This game will be very swingy, and bad executions can be VERY bad for either team, especially a Day 1 scum execution.
There is the potential for a very very bad event named Maximum Failure. This happens if three townies get sent to the trials, and two of them fail; or if two scum are sent to the trials and one of them fails. The phase following the current or next Night phase is the Punishment Phase: All other event conditions and trials are discontinued, and the team suffering the Maximum failure will now have to wait for the Mafia decision between two or three punishments. None of them will be good for the failing team. The town will be informed when all trials have been completed. Trials interrupted by a Maximum Failure count as Pass for win conditions. Due to the nature of the game, any kills, including Execution, are compulsive until the trials have ended.

did you read this bit?

[Noraa]

Yup! but idk what trials are still

[Noraa]

it doesn't exactly just tell me...

[Nosferatu]

we don't know either

[Noraa]

Nos defend urself. I just ISOed u and two others specifically looking for traces of scumminess. Now defend urself pls

[DrippingGoofball]

No explanation again. I can see that as scum uninterested in solving but maybe its just playstyle since its quite consistent according to the ISO

Yeah, I make these naked declarations a lot, like it's my personal notepad - not to convince others. When I feel it's a good time in the game to do so, I put everything together. Players are free to ask about my reasoning - there is always a reason.

[Noraa]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
im not greatly convinced of ur case but plus looks worse rn so I'll leave u be for now.

@the three biggest wagons today
please tell me who you think the scum team is and why.

[DrippingGoofball]

@the three biggest wagons today

I don't know if you realize or not - but the three of us are the only allowable wagons today, we are being gladiated. We do not know how we were chosen for this.

[Noraa]

yeah uh time to go back and read the first post again but either way still tell me who you think the scum team is

[DrippingGoofball]

Nosferatu, pob long

and and go back and forth on

Fidget

.

[Noraa]

I would assume bob long is a lurker since they are being replaced correct?
if yes, that's dumb. lurkers are literally the easiest to get mislims on as scum.
Fidget I haven't heard from and do not wish to ISO cuz imma lazy potato.

[Fidget]

Idk what pob did, but Nos is a hard null and I'm avoiding voting him in favor of Plus or DGB. In fact, Nos and I both voted for DGB together. Guess it's a scum-led counterpush on her.

Not sure where the PlusJOYED wagon fits into that, though.

[Noraa]

hm I'll try to figure some stuff out but I doubt I'll be of much help today(day 2) but once we get into day 3 and I get more settled in, I assure everyone my reads won't be nonexistent piles of crap lmao
