Open 783: We Need a Fourth (Game over)

[A Fourth]

I thought i'd seen your main at some point for some reason Tommy, but I looked and it's not outted. *shrug*

You should vote for Bot.

You should signal if you know with the secret code you established with Tommy years ago.

Why vote for the bot? He's been quiet so far but I get the feeling he's just getting his footing.

[A Fourth]

Not Known 15, what is Klick's most distasteful quality?

[Klick]

@Kerset: How do we resolve a scenario where we can't agree on a lynch?

[Klick]

if nobody reaches majority by deadline, whoever has the most votes first will be lynched instead.

Oh nvm

[Klick]

@Kerset: If TownBot only has one vote on them at deadline and they are the lynch, how does it resolve its two kills?

[Klick]

I will use dice tag to pick kill for him.

[Klick]

Alright.

Bot is getting lynched today. The question is whether I'm hammering, or AF is. I don't think it's a conspiracy.

Who do you think should go first, NK15?

[Klick]

...wait, shit. If it is a conspiracy, what actually is the play?
I only have one vote. If NK15 doesn't unvote ever, then the very best I can do is 50-50 by refusing to vote Bot. Welp.

I propose a player-enforced rule:

We only vote, at all, when we've all agreed to vote. Breaking this a scumclaim.

There is zero town incentive to not agree to this.

NK15, unvote.

[Not Known 15]

Not unvoting.

[Klick]

Then this game is going to have a very anticlimactic, random ending, because I'm never voting Bot.

[Klick]

There are no downsides to unvoting from a town!you perspective.

Meanwhile, from the perspective of whichever of me/AF is town (and one of us HAS to be town from your perspective), the only thing you're accomplishing is forcing a 50/50 if you're scum with the other human.

What changed your mind?

Are you cOnSpIrInG?

[A Fourth]

In order for me to ever place the second vote, I need to believe Klick and Not Known aren't both scum.

If the bot is scum with one of you two, then it doesn't matter. We shall see.

[A Fourth]

Don't be shy, 15.

NK15 playing to specifically a conspiracy wincon changed my mind.

I'm not scum, and I think that's fairly evident by now.

[A Fourth]

LAMIST, eh? My favourite. What do you think you've done that makes you obvtown?

[Klick]

I don't think that's quite how LAMIST works but putting that aside for now

I'm not scum with either of you because my actions so far have been far enough removed from what you two seem to be doing that it's pretty clear I'm not working together with anyone to coordinate what I'm saying

And I'm not scum with Bot because I've thought way more about this situation from a Town mindset than I would have if it didn't matter to my wincon.

self-reading...

[Klick]

I don't see either of you trying to read me

I have zero problems with self-meta and this is well-documented.

[Klick]

AF, you see the value in NK15 unvoting as much as I do, right?

[A Fourth]

I can see you both as scum still. If you're both scum, your objective is to distance as much as possible and convince me this isn't a conspiracy. Going with contrasting plans doesn't mean you're unaligned.

[Klick]

Wait, I'm stupid. The play here is simple.

VOTE: Not Known 15

If he's scum, he reveals a townie and it's a 50-50.
If he's town, he shoots Bot and it's a 50-50.

You have just as much reason to do this as I do if you're town, AF.

You should vote for Bot.

In fact, this is really bad. Were you going for a quick win here and then backpedalled when you saw I didn't play ball?

[Klick]

You voting Bot is good for me regardless of alignment.
