The Reckoning III (Math is Hard) Holy crap, perfect town win

actually i'll just explain it now so we don't wind up with a mollie-level clusterfuck of reading incomprehension

jordan HAS visited the site. you can see it by visiting his profile and looking at the recently visited or whatever it's called.

he has NOT made any posts since a few hours before today's game day started.

and really i don't think anyone else makes sense as scum except maybe you (and that's still weird given pie+your claim) and iec who is probably town unless there's two scum left in the game which there probably isn't. so i'm tired of waiting for jordan to get here and claim when he HAS at least visited the site to claim if he was the mythical roleblocker that won the game for everyone that doesn't actually exist so he can die.

oh too late you're too busy whining with capital letters

oh well

if you have a legitimate reason for him to claim first even though he's already visited the site today to come in and actually say something if he had anything whatsoever interesting to add to the game and didn't then fine whatever but
*basically everything magua said about him getting replaced* and this game's going to be pretty awful to 'play' in until it happens, which itself is probably going to mean a replacement that'll take several more days.

i doubt i'll be posting much in the next few days so have a *gamma official reads-list* mostly in case jordan gets dead before say more stuff
S->T
Jordan-->YNGO--->Iec--->this game is dumb--->magua-->mollie but please don't let her be in 3-person lylo-->axxle-->Ythan-->cheery dog-->Antihero-->this game is REALLY dumb-->not even going to bother listing the last two people

damn son

oh yay fate/jordan was actually scum

glad i wasn't crazy thinking that fate specifically pulling me off the eagle wagon for cheery earlier was really bad

and that i didn't have to claim 'oh yeah im only 3-shot' tomorrow which would have been fine except reck would have really wanted to lynch me for it for silly reasons

UT's role PM wrote:"I'd that I'm the morning? I can; I just need to know when to get you.com"

still hilarious

^actually I think I would have been pretty similar even without me being cop? I tend to go blood in the water over bad claims because I have a really good track record with reading scum based on bad to mediocre claims.

Like even with pie I could see the role existing or being a fakeclaim but it looked like he had made his earlier posts fit to make up a 'breadcrumb' instead of actually making them to anticipate claiming

Gammagooey · Sat Apr 19, 2014 3:34 am

^hells yeah it was

us + iec only people on every scum lynch

Gammagooey · Sat Apr 19, 2014 4:14 am

i feel like earlygame protection as well would have made it too hard for town to deal with though? you could already target the vig(s) if they claimed it before shooting and an un-shootable survivor with an autohammerer and 4 scum does seem pretty gross.

It seems like a pretty hard win condition to balance though, maybe make it so you win anyway if at anytime half the living players are wearing the shirts even if you're dead (so if you're almost there and you get shot then if you used the other shirts correctly on people not likely to die you can still win a day or two later)

or maybe you could give out two shirts the first night or one in pre-game but it isss still a bit weird.

good job, town

hey you were totally helpful just by looking town enough to not get lynched until pie got lynched instead

9.5/10 would refrain from lynching again

I don't care if you personally thought the town played correctly, I care that we were legit fucked from the moment we got our role PM. Given the town won by the end of Day Three,
no matter who got the role or how they played, it was impossible to win this game because not enough people could be green shirted before the town won
. That is an indisputable fact.

pretty sure axxle's intention wasn't to insult your collective play so chill a bit and also no it's not?

The role is VERY difficult to win with compared to the other roles in the game (I'd say definitely less than 25% chance of winning and I'd guess a significant amount less than that) but it wasn't impossible to win with. You guys claimed on day 1 with only 5 votes on you with 9 to lynch (cus iecerint), and ate two vig bullets that could have hit town instead largely because of it.

Had those bullets hit say Reck and someone else instead then the pie lynch may have been a mislynch or cheery or mollie could have been lynched the day after instead of eagle since they were so close to being lynched as well or a bunch of other little variations that turn into bigger ones as the game goes on, and your role would have had longer to fufill its win condition. You did get pretty fucked by having that role when your hydra as players draw a lot of attention just by playing normally and the frustration is really understandable given the sheer improbability of winning but you are exaggerating a little bit here.
