open 841: just mafia here officer (compleated game)

[catboi]

I don't know but I like the gutsiness of it

[catboi]

I'm not actually sure there is a cop at all.

Unfortunately none of us are really in a position to be claiming it

[catboi]

Also skitter needs to stop doing this wagonomics theorizing stuff, it's always disconnected from what goes on in the actual game. Case in point: we were doing sweet fuck all.

[catboi]

I feel...a little more spirited. Possibly because the town is so apathetic.

I’ll claim it if I get run up

[Menalque]

Also sorry is first week back at work am a bit swamped

[catboi]

No problem, I get it, tough trying to balance things with an active work schedule

fwiw I feel as though if there's an opportunity to quickhammer you should just take it

[Menalque]

I'm about 20 pages behind, I literally was about to ask if I should just quick hammer if the chance comes up lol

[Menalque]

and yeah, this is the first time I think I've ever tried to play with an actual proper job and it's, uh, harder than I thought

did anything important happen in the last 20 pages or can I just shitpost along to my heart's content?

I think this is maybe winnable if we get nsg today and you kill skitt tonight? like people want you but they're not dying for it and maybe mare/Alyssa/midway/cakez could all be mislimmed?

[Menalque]

can you just put her to e-1 or does that mean you die for sure after I die?

[catboi]

Was partly the reason I retired for 5 years!

I barely even remember, there was a lot of idling, skitter getting into an argument with mare, s_s crazypushing andante, and skitter getting paranoid about her reads and the inactivity, I don't remember much else

can you just put her to e-1 or does that mean you die for sure after I die?

I am already voting her

[Menalque]

lol S_S didn’t push andante, you’re having a laugh

Okay so I’m p high rn and I need one of you to confirm this is a Good Idea and not a throw before I do it

What if I jump in to push against nsg and for catboi/cakez
If nsg flips then prob so do I and then it’s like a 50/50 there that I think catboi can win

Then it’s prob midway/mare in either order for S/S to win

If I go first nsg looks awful by association and goes next then it follows the same pattern from there

If catboi goes first then I look good from that and get cakez, then hopefully win a 1v1 against nsg

And if cakez goes first then maybe we could even get nsg tomorrow and be sitting relatively pretty

[Something_Smart]

Yeah that seems like a pretty sound plan. I'm always down for a little WIFOM.

I'm skeptical whether people would actually believe you're S/S with nsg if you do it too blatantly. Not sure what you were planning but I think a soft defense is the way to go ("the reasons to scumread nsg are pretty weak, I think we have a better shot with catboi/cakez" etc).

[catboi]

it's pretty likely she just gets replaced at this rate, idk what happens after that

I would aim for subtlety, though, agreed

[catboi]

I pivoted because andante was making gestures in your direction and figured better to be ahead of the curve but I don't think you're necessarily a dead man walking or anything

[catboi]

Eh, hm. Time's running short.

at this point in time it might be better to just roleclaim

either claim ascetic cop and say you were hoping to coast to get more reports

or just claim doctor and draw out the counter claim

[Something_Smart]

Cop seems more important if we think there's a chance it will be believed.

He's kinda low down for it, but it does make his play make sense at least.

[catboi]

I'm not really terribly concerned about it being believed or not - I think there's essentially no chance menalque endgames at the rate things are going (no offense, I just think there's too many people who suspect him), and the importance is mainly drawing out a role that'll be a problem. If there really is no cop in the setup it might buy a day which is nice but ultimately kind of gravy

[Menalque]

I should still probably quick hammer if possible right?

or are we confident enough that midway goes down either way that I should try to hold off (quick)hammering to not draw extra attention to myself

[Menalque]

I reaaaaaaaaally hope nobody takes me up on this catboi wagon

[Menalque]

btw do you actually know who kaiji is catboi, or are you guessing?

[catboi]

it's quite obviously koba

important lesson of scumming is not to prioritize your own survival too much and take the hammer when it's available

which i'm sure something_smart would agree with
