MT 2219: The Battle of Calculasia - Endgame

[Titus]

Scum team is Titus, Toogeloo and Nom, I rest my case.

Well if you ever decide to stop voting Nom, I'll help you by "bussing" Toog.

I'm at Xlos, Toog, plus one.

[DrippingGoofball]

I am never, ever stopping voting nom. I got a guilty and he's not getting away with claiming miller after getting caught.

[DrippingGoofball]

The way I understand it is that nomnomnom can only act on prime ends, not that he gets additional power from prime ends.

correct

Oh well that's new

The claim changed again thanks to Titus feeding answers.

Where did he say it the other way?

It's what he didn't say.

Look.

I am parking my vote on him until he's good and dead for the remainder of the game.

[Titus]

Well shit. That's a problem.

[Titus]

I'm a bit distrustful of Titus' posts today. I'm disinterested in nom³ and actually feel as though they conjured up a perfect storm of unluckiness of their own posts.

I'm willing to clear both DGB and nom³ as town here.

VOTE: Titus

Titus sheep's you and then has been putting in a lot of effort to discredit nom³. If you have a guilty, why put in effort to discredit?

UNVOTE:
VOTE: nomnomnom

For me it's a combination of policy and too many coincidences that seals nom³.

Policy in the sense that they should have claimed Miller Day 1, and the fact that they probably wouldn't have drawn my roleblock if they hadn't made a big deal about them having an action.

Coincidence overload in the fact that they just so happen to be a Miller that was going to friendly neighbor the 1-shot cop who guilty scanned them, but got roleblocked by me. Like, I'm not a statististics guy, but this is a math based game, and I would love to hear the odds of all that happening.

This trajectory makes no sense.

[DrippingGoofball]

They are scum together!!!!!

[DrippingGoofball]

Toog provided nom cover for the so-called failure of his friendly neighbor action.

[Titus]

DGB, if Nos flips town will you promise to vote in my scumpool until they are dead?

[Jake The Wolfie]

@Toog, why did you roleblock nomnomnom instead of letting him resolve?

I found it suspicious that anyone who is town would openly claim they could use a role after meeting conditions on Day 1. Town would likely fear a blocking mechanic from scum more than scum would fear one from town.

If nom is scum and scum has a roleblocker... maybe not!!!

..are you suggesting that their roleblocker roleblocked their scumbuddy Nom?

[DrippingGoofball]

DGB, if Nos flips town will you promise to vote in my scumpool until they are dead?

Deal but I hope you'll consider Toog.

[DrippingGoofball]

DGB, if Nos flips town will you promise to vote in my scumpool until they are dead?

@Toog, why did you roleblock nomnomnom instead of letting him resolve?

I found it suspicious that anyone who is town would openly claim they could use a role after meeting conditions on Day 1. Town would likely fear a blocking mechanic from scum more than scum would fear one from town.

If nom is scum and scum has a roleblocker... maybe not!!!

..are you suggesting that their roleblocker roleblocked their scumbuddy Nom?

No I am suggesting that Toog is lying and did not roleblock nom.

[DrippingGoofball]

He just provided cover to make his buddy's fake story believable at no cost to himself, in the sense that an argument could be made that he did that as town.

[Titus]

Toog is already in my scumpool.

VOTE: nomnomnom

You're to vote Xlos and Toog.

Then you have free reign to vote whomever not in my townblock. If both Xlos and Toog flip scum, Math does not live to lylo and is out of my townblock.

The only exception to this rule is a confirmed guilty.

If nom is scum, you have my vote on Toog tomorrow.

Edit: Vote changed for VCer.

To be more specific, if the scum has a roleblocker, they may think it's less likely for the town to have one, and gambit accordingly.

[DrippingGoofball]

Toog is already in my scumpool.

VOTE: nos

I will require little encouragement to vote Xlos, no worries.

[nomnomnom]

VOTE: nom

[DrippingGoofball]

Also Titus is locktown now for brazenly negotiating control of my vote

[nomnomnom]

Shoot DGB

Voting History as of End of Day 2:

This tracks who voted whom each day. Each line is formatted like Player A (2): Player B (2) --> Player C (3) where Player A is the person voting, player A votes player B in post #2, and player A votes player C in post #3. The use of ==> instead of --> indicates that the vote was not changed from its current target. People indented four spaces instead of two are replacements for a slot.

Key: * = F-1 Vote; + = Hammer Vote, $ = Self-Vote, ^ = After Hammer Vote.

Night 2 begins:

Another hour passes full of intense shouting and fearsome glares. The room becomes silent once again. Everyone turns to face the one who calls himself nomnomnom. One of you steps towards him.

nomnomnom begins speaking, and unlike Flea The Magician, his voice is calm and collected, "I ask you all to reconsider. The Council in its current form does more harm than good. What is the purpose of this insistence on checking everything?" One of you immediately interjects, "That meticulousness saves lives!" nomnomnom continues speaking unfazed by the interjection, "How? That is what the Council wants you to think. You see, the Council spreads its ideology far and wide. Anyone who does not believe is persecuted viciously. I ask though that you think this through. After all, Analysha had flourished for many centuries long before the formation of the Council." "That's enough!" another one of you interjects.

Without giving nomnomnom another chance to speak, the one who stepped forward removes a book from their pocket. They turn to page 27182818 and remove a marker from their pocket. They quickly scan the page, find the name nomnomnom, and cross it with the marker. nomnomnom's body begins to gradually turn translucent. Soon, nomnomnom's body disappears from sight. Left in its place is a small index card. One of you steps forth to grab it, reads it, and smiles. "We have achieved a great victory! We have eliminated one of those evil Intuitionists. Let us celebrate this victory before we continue on our righteous crusade." Everyone agrees to host a miniature party before getting back to work.

nomnomnom,

Derivatives

(effective role: Intuitionist Jack of All Trades (Flavor Cop, Doctor)), fades into obscurity Day 2.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome, nomnomnom, to Mini Theme {#}: Battle of Calculasia!
You are a

Derivative

!

The derivative is one of the fundamental operations in the infinitesimal calculus. The derivative generalizes the idea of calculating the average rate of change of a function between two points to the idea of calculating the instantaneous rate of change of a function at a specific point.

Abilities:

1.

Unstable Foundations:

You are a member of the Intuitionists and can perform the factional kill if you so choose. You may perform this alongside your other active abilities.
2.

Private Discussion:

You share a thread with the other members of the Intuitionists that you may talk in at any time. More information will be sent in a separate pm.
3.

Multifaceted Tool:

The derivative is a very versatile tool boasting a wide array of uses. You possess multiple 1-shot abilities, and you may use one each night.
3a.

Local Linearity:

One use of the derivative is to approximate a function with a straight line. This is useful because straight lines are easier to work with than curved ones. Once per game at night, you may target a player. You will attempt to learn their flavor name. Your possible results are (note that results may or may not have additional flavor):

Local Linearity Success

You learned that your target is {Flavor Name}.

Local Linearity Failure

No Result: You could not determine your target's flavor.

3b.

Optimization:

Another use of the derivative is to solve optimization problems as the derivative gives information about local minima and maxima. Once per game at night, you may target a player. You will attempt to protect your target from a single kill.
4. Effectively, you are a

Jack of All Trades (Flavor Cop, Doctor)

.
5. You win when all threats to the Intuitionists are eliminated and at least one Intuitionist is still alive or when nothing can prevent the same.

Confirm by pm'ing me your alignment, flavor name, effective role, and any partners you may have.

Night 2 ends on Wednesday, July 7 10:00 PM EDT or in (expired on 2021-07-07 22:00:00).
Night actions are due at least 15 minutes before then.

If everyone living requests fast night, I will grant it to the best of my ability.

[Ircher]

Day 3 begins:

The party is glorious. Everyone stuffs themselves with the finest foods and drinks in all the lands. Melodious sounds also fill the air drowning out the previously tense atmosphere. Sadly as all good things must, the party comes to an abrupt stop. A bloodcurdling scream is heard. Everyone turns to see where it came from. The person is T3.

One of you rushes forth towards him, but it is too late. His limbs have been bent to form sharp corners. He lets out another scream of agony before his body explodes. A small index card is left in its place. One of you picks it up and shares the dreadful news.

T3, the

Second Derivative Test

(effective role: Councillor of Calculasia Even Night Modified Rolecop), collapsed from a lack of rigor night 2.

Spoiler: Role PM

Welcome, T3, to Mini Theme {#}: Battle of Calculasia!
You are the

Second Derivative Test

!

The Second Derivative Test gives a way to find local minimums and maximums of a function based on the function's first and second derivatives. Alongside the First Derivative Test, it plays a major role in solving optimization problems.

Abilities:

1.

Curve Sketching

: In addition to being useful for solving optimization problems, the Second Derivative Test also plays a role in curve sketching, the practice of using information about a function to get an idea of what its graph looks like. On even nights, you may target a player. You will attempt to learn that player's effective role. Your possible results are (note that results may or may not have additional flavor):

Curve Sketching Success

You learned that your target is {Role}.

Curve Sketching Failure

No Result: You could not determine your target's role.

2. Effectively, you are an

Even Night Modified Rolecop

.
3. You win when all threats to the Council of Calculasia are eliminated and at least one Councillor is still alive.

Confirm by pm'ing me your alignment, flavor name, effective role, and any partners you may have.
