town!pooky, the 3-4 times I’ve seen, has always tried to be logical and reasonable and I see none of that here

i am shocked that you would think cunning evil scumpooky would ever meme-hipfire on page 4 lol

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Also, pretty much never seen a Pooky town game where the best words to describe him are “logical” and “reasonable”. Those words are ones I’d reserve for scum!Pooky.
You’re welcome to counter this.

SOOO OOOOOOO TRUUUUUEEEEEEE

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

you were literally in one of the games I’m talking about

Spoiler: the first pooky post I saw

I have been thinking about the setup and below are some of my thoughts so far.



I've played similar games where there are rooms etc and one way to find the bad guys is to have a running tally of actions etc.

It seems one way the scum could kill people is by attacking them at night as one of their actions - as room exploration, lab deactivation attacks are not public actions.

In lieu of a standard nightkill, the scum have an anonymous attack - they also could attack somebody directly if they believe they have a good chance of killing them as a dead person is unable to say anything.

They can also use their nightactions to attack a person directly,

For example the entire scum team could attack Bingle and if they succeed in dealing him enough damage - he would not be able to tell us who his attackers were as he is dead.

One way I thought of to deal with this is if we coordinate our night actions on rooms that provide verification.

For example if all of us were to use the gym - all of us would get a speed increase of 1 - scum who would try to do something evil would not get this speed increase and be exposed.


Also @Nosferatu - what happened to your knowledge? Did the scum use their factional ability to reduce it? This would put you very close to dying if I am reading the rules correctly and you should go to the library to fix this.


Also as for mech-speculation - I do not believe it is a priority to destroy the labs currently as our player count is quite high - it would make sense imo to have higher knowledge players destroy labs.

A player with a knowledge score of 3 has only a 10/27 chance of de-activating a lab successfully - and failure would be a wasted action on the part of the town. Also the lower the probability of success is, the easier it is for scum to do something evil and pretend like his night-action was to de-activate a lab when it really was not.


~Fun

I ONLY PUT MY LOGIC HAT ON FOR MECH HEAVY GAMES THAT LOOK FUN TO SOLVE

[Gamma Emerald]

speaking of your logic hat
When's Tracer Bullet coming back?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Pooky is a fucking idiot who I want dead regardless because he can just pull a similar action D2, and then what do people say?

WOW KEEP THE INSULTS COMING BRO

LOL @ "Pro-Scum Move"

Baltar can't call me scum so he has to keep attacking me as "scum-adjacent"

If Baltar flips green here I will not challenge again for the next 3 days

[Gamma Emerald]

I agree the "scum-adjacent" talk isn't fantastic, but I feel like his recent interaction with me felt genuine?

[Gamma Emerald]

Normally I'd think town would hold that "you might be town" talk for when the wagon is approaching the climax.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Noraa - I don't have scum vibes yet. We made a deal in our PT to trust each other for now and reassess as needed. I'm ok with that deal for a day and I'm not gonna be convinced to yeet Noraa unless there is something truly compelling there.

this is 100% mafia pocketing behavior

there is ZERO excuse for a townie to be doing this to another townie in their private PT.

I wish okapoka was here to PREACH THE GOSPEL OF NEIGHBORHOOD POCKETING BEING ANTI-TOWN BEHAVIOR.

But he's not SO I WILL HAVE TO REPRESENT HIM.

If your neighbor is trying to get you to trust them in the private chat PT where there is no transparency and we can't see it, they are likely to be scum trying to pocket a townie.


THOU SHALT NOT POCKET YOUR NEIGHBOR IN THE PT!!!

People making "alliances, trust deals, fake bullshit" in their PTs need to be BURNED IMMEDIATELY.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

do not share reads in the neighborhood PT, share them in the PUBLIC thread where we can all see them.

The mafia have NO NIGHTKILL this game, so it's not like you have to hide your special leet super awesome reads in case the baddies pop you at night.

DO NOT USE YOUR PTS FOR GAME RELEVANT INFO. Post it IN GAME THREAD.

FULL TRANSPARENCY IS OUR FRIEND.

LIES AND HIDING ARE THE TOOLS OF THE SCUM.

[VP Baltar]

Baltar can't call me scum

I don't even understand what this is supposed to mean?

You initiated a challenge on page 3. You think I should have had a solid read on you at that point?

If I had strong feelings about your alignment, I'd say so.

[Noraa]

People making "alliances, trust deals, fake bullshit" in their PTs need to be BURNED IMMEDIATELY.

I suggested it. Pooky will you burn me?

[VP Baltar]

It was Noraa's pitch, fyi

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I agree the "scum-adjacent" talk isn't fantastic, but I feel like his recent interaction with me felt genuine?

he knows i have to be town just off play so he keeps throwing the "anti-town behavior" hedge into it to justify his bullshit push

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I don't care who's pitch it is

if a townie pitches a shit deal to a mafia and mafia will still take advantage of that townie.

Noraa's been on this site for less than a year

you've been here for over a decade

you should know better than to make bullshit trust deals with your neighbor in the PT because that's how mafia pocket townies

[Noraa]

DO NOT USE YOUR PTS FOR GAME RELEVANT INFO. Post it IN GAME THREAD.

FULL TRANSPARENCY IS OUR FRIEND.

why? I like it. It's like having a notes pt instead of sending myself emails every time I think of something I don't wanna say in the game thread.

[VP Baltar]

Posting in the PT that I think you're an idiot rn.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

That being said, considering you were one of the people who got snowed very hard by noraa last game we played (where me/Haschel/noraa were scum), I was curious if you had any insights into her from that perspective. Not so much "is she scum or town based on meta" but moreso looking for a peek into noraa the player bc my only experience with her so far was on a scumteam together

WAIT WHAT

WHY THE !)@)# WOULD BALTAR bE JUMPING SO HAPPILY INTO TRUSTING NORAA IF HE BEEN SNOWED BY HER BEFORE

PPPIIIIIIIIINGGGGG

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Posting in the PT that I think you're an idiot rn.

you are so lucky lilith made me promise not to do any personal insults so I can't completely annihilate you.

I am a beautiful flower

this is like, a legit point
Also, I'm thinking I trust pooky over VP rn

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

So NoraaScum just burned Baltar-Town and now

Noraa tries to do a "trust-deal" with Baltar in their PT and Baltar accepts it?

Tell me baltar, what behavior do you see different from that game where she badly snowed you that makes you confident you can read noraa this time?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

In terms of what I'm applying to our PT interaction, I think it's too early. Noraa feels town to me at this point. She is being consistent in her PT reads and what she is saying in thread.

lol is this a troll reason baltar?

"consistent PT reads"

we're in like page 10

its not exactly hard to be consistent 1 day into the game lolololol

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

like there's no way this is an actual real thought in Baltar's head, it's some rubberstamp bullshit when he doesnt have a reason he just slaps it on.

Yeet Baltar - he will flip red

get your bus cred early folks this is nightless

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

"Noraa is town because her PT posts and her public thread posts are consistent"

yea cuz scum noraa is so bad she will post completely contradictory things in the neighborhood PT and the public thread 1 day into the game.

your "read" is a joke dude

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

you're an idiot

btw when I played with Scum!Noraa i killed her at elo for a town win

when you played with scum!Noraa you lost to her badly after getting snowed

think about that the next time you hurl another personal insult at me

[Noraa]

you're an idiot

Don't talk to VP like that.

If it weren't for everyone else thinking I were scum in death curse, you would've gotten snowed.
