If he flips town, then yes theres a cult, night kill actions should be aimed appropriately.
If he flips scum, oh fuck Flea makes another good call, making a habit of this.
If he flips ANYTHING ELSE, well shit, fun times ahead.
What is vital, is bell lives tonight.
We get the same info from checking the numbers tomorrow and then we don't waste an elim on a slot that will resolve itself the next day or risk elimming someone with a good chance of just being town.
Am I wrong? At one point you're happy to sheep me onto Korina, then in a blink you're on me. Like I get you have a restriction, and ngl I'm hella sus about it but you've shown willingness and ability to articulate what you're feeling and thinking quite happily.
I'm confused about this? Can you point out where Guillotina was sheeping you?

I think Guillotina is more likely town. I don't think he sheeped Flea even though Flea claimed that he did so I can see why he would scumread faer. Plus as someone mentioned before, he's putting in more effort than he has to with the post restriction. Nobody would sus him for only playing enough to avoid prods.

I'll also say that this is my first game in three years or so, I've never played with Flea or read any games of faers. So the emotional plea of 'this always happens to me, :siteflounce threat:' doesn't do much for me.
Swinging focus to cult-hunting, although I'll note that for progression I like the move from scum-reading PS here to townreading them later, even if it's all rather flimsy.
In post 1577, dsjstr wrote:Is there any reason to talk about how we went from 14 town to 11 with three town killed at night and Korina supposedly getting turned into a town.
Seems like a lot of speculation that would be required unless I'm missing something.
This is a good point though, and ngl I missed that.
14-3(=11)+1=12...
Unless someones genuinely been culted, at which point I can imagine Korina losing their mind entirely :3
Playing with the numbers, but phrasing feels weird here.
I think Korina is telling the truth. I'm sure there are plenty of roles that can affect alignment so it wouldn't be a surprise if someone was changed to scum as well.
oh 100%, like the frustrations seem real to me.
Why are we on jake again?
But retracts quickly when challenged.
In post 1743, Flea The Magician wrote:...Korina really isn't making sense to me, ngl.
He can't be culted, makes a nice big dance about groupscum can't be culted, sam died last night after dropping the visiting korina line...
VOTE: Korina - I smell rotten doggy farts
And yet goes right back on it to the point of voting Korina.
In post 1778, Flea The Magician wrote:Korina, I know you did, but we've a missing person, and as pointed our previousy...
We started yesterday with 14 town. we started today with 11 town, 3 died.
So theres a discrepancy.
Retreading this again to try to come up to justify Korina vote.
I'm sticking to my korina vote btw.
Convince me otherwise.
*sips tea*
Despite that it's been discussed that eliminating Korina doesn't give us anything we can't get by waiting another night phase to see an updated count, having established that it's in pretty much any faction's interest to leave the claimed town counter alive, which means we'll probably get it. Unless there's a cult with a kill, in which case I flip the table because yikes.
This whole 'I'm not moving my vote' thing also reads as convenient to me. It's pretty clear that a Korina elim isn't going to happen today. But that kind of stance lets Flea sit in the background and votepark where fae knows it won't amount to anything.
In post 1924, Flea The Magician wrote:Thats part of the problem though, like I'm sitting on 14/2/1/1/1/1/1 and right now I'm thinking Korina is a smart doggo and is one of the 2.
Like until I have legit reason as to why the numbers are wrong, thats where I'm staying.
Liking the spicyness form PS.
Mason claim aside (which I'm not holding against Flea, this game is cluttered as fuck), I'm not seeing where the original Survivor claim got her to end game nor how Korina-groupscum makes much sense. It's not utterly impossible, but it assumes a lot of serendipity that there's no way Korina could have predicted Day One.
In post 1958, Flea The Magician wrote:ngl I'd love to get culted right now, Im not interested in culting as an actual mechanic in this game, and the numbers indicate thats legitimate currently.
I'm worried about about the 2 maf getting a free ride as we flail and panic around the various 3P claims and distractions.
For me today its Unwnd for the cock up, or korinas potential fakeclaim. Those are the only two I'm willing to vote rn and honestly I'd be willing to put them as the mafSolve
I'm seeing a lot of assumptions in Flea's posts that don't come from anywhere logical given the game thread.
Happy to engage on what I'm seeing with anyone willing to read the spoilered wall, but I'd particularly like to hear from unwnd and PS, given their town reads on the slot. What am I missing here? Also Disney Princesses, as Nacho's probably the player most familiar with me around. And they need to get in here anyways.

Couple of points:
-I'm definitely curious as to why Flea agreed with me in 1605 when I said Korina is likely telling the truth and there's a cult or some sort of alignment changer for scum to balance the numbers, but then goes back to saying the numbers don't add up and Korina is probably lying.
-In 1958 fae says that the numbers suggest there is no cult which as you said isn't really an assumption that can be made since the possibility that Korina got converted to town then makes the numbers suggest that there's a cult or something of the sort. I'm starting to think that Flea is trying to push only the narrative that suggests a scum!Korina and not thinking about the possibility of town!Korina.
-Another thing I agree with is why not just wait until tomorrow and check the numbers again. I don't understand the push on someone who has claimed survivor in a very genuine way, then claimed to be switched to town when someone heavily implied they were going to switch them to town, when the slot will resolve itself if the numbers don't add up the next day.

I'm still most interested in Jake though for the elim today though.
Skimming through his iso most of it was fluff. Also this is one of his longer posts and looked like busywork.
Here are the 3 lines of reasoning I came up with sharing this information as the 3 types of alignment:
Town: It is true information, and it's better for us to be informed. I would disagree with this, but more to the point: it basically invites players to begin quiestioning you about how much you actually do know, which focuses more on mechanics rather than gameplay. It also forces you to play your entire hand.
Anti-Town: You are phishing for a reaction from other players, to see if they are surprised that another anti-town faction exists and to then find and peg them for free town points. You don't necessarily have to be speaking the truth to play this gambit.
Neutral: There are many reasons why you would reveal this information as a Neutral. I can't really say why you would or why you shouldn't have.
This was a response to someone saying that it's multiball. I don't see how this progressed the game or helped town. Reads as busywork to me.
Looking at his claim.
-He originally claimed not town or scum. He is now saying he doesn't even have an alignment. That's a discrepancy and also it makes no sense to not have an alignment. You can't even play without one.
-He was asked to claim and was responding in an evasive way. Instead of explaining what he was given for a role he was responding with "I can't". When asked if a quoted role was his, "Perhaps". When told the role doesn't say he wasn't allowed to claim, "Correct". He made it more difficult than it had to be.
Okay, so who do you think is scum here? You're still on Jake. If Jake, let's hear it.

I just looked up the word inanity and I do not like how you are referencing my super cool cult.
@StuffLion the primary reason I think flea is town is due to something I can't discuss due to site rules.
secondary reason would be like I don't think scum will jump into a possible death cult willy nilly - they tend to be more survivalistic.
Now let's look at Jake.
According to him, he has no alignment, no win condition, no reason to even log in and post. He's just here for what exactly? The Lulz?
Ok then why hasn't he joined my cult? Why not get a win condition even if it's a fake one?
You're telling me someone who has no win condition wouldn't jump at the chance to join a possibly real death cult for the lulz? If anyone should've joined it's jakey.

There are some valid points in those quotes about flea and any more than that would be more effort than I'm willing to put in!
I need you to brainwash your better half, she keeps talking shit about our very cool cult meetings.
It's his birthday, let him have one day of peace without me trying to logic him.
So do you think Jake is lying about his role then? Or is this more of an 'eliminations are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get' thing?

he's like very obviously lying
the role and his play are very inconsistent
like maybe he's a jester and trying to get elimmed but I'm not going to try to play around jesters in a grand idea anyway

by Raya36
If a jester gets eliminated does the game end or do they just exit the game and win individually?
@raya the game goes on, but the jester reaches thier win condition and typically is removed from the game, but who really knows with this type of game, maybe jester turns into a stump after, and all that is assuming there is a jester.

it is unfun to play around a jester to eliminate scum and ill just take the L if it ends the game

Then in that case if Jake is a jester it really doesn't matter. I don't care if jester wins, as long as we can still win
