Fair enough. Anything you do want to discuss?

If not, Cabd's Tales trilogy might make a decent late night read.

Here's my response: Moon Cancer is giving me moon cancer.

One of those games should probably go down in a list of the worst games in the history of ever.

To even suggest reading it makes me think you're a sociopath.

Went over the Avenger ISO that I wanted to do and hoo boy that was definitely more IIoA-y than I remember it being, both before and after my initial assessment of him. Post 343 in particular is a whole lot of words that don't really go anywhere meaningful despite clearly intending to. This gets the Neutral Face of Displeasure.

Lancer 406: I'm not sure what sort of confidence you're referring to. Are you saying I am/taking issue with me being confident I am not sure Caster is town but it seems more a bit more likely than Caster being mafia?

Avenger 421: I feel like just about all of these questions can be answered by reading why I'm voting for Caster. (Helpfully, my ISO isn't very long!) I also hadn't had the chance to reread you until now; I thought "Will need to read the iso to get something solid when I have the time" pretty clearly meant I hadn't done it yet. Having completed it now, I'm still quite happy with my vote where it is.

Archer 433: I meant to say 360, sorry. Though I feel like the mistake should have been easily spotted and my true intentions gleaned when it was the post above the one I referred to.

Moon cancer being attacked on the premise they are attempting to solve with an alternate method using the knowledge they have available is looking sketchy.
The NP as I understand it is potentially both anti-town and pro-scum. But on play I'd put Moon as second strongest townread with the caveat there are likely better options to receive the master upgrade.

The strongest hook for this read isnt even the against the grain read on assassin itself but the methodology behind it. I highly doubt the game was balanced to doom the town in the event scum gets the upgrade and I completely get being willing to forego an IC for definitive associations and semi solid VCA potential going into day 1.

It has merit, I'm not sold it's the best play but I'll think on it.

@Moon is your np day activated? I don't need details beyond this.

In post 434, Servant Berserker wrote:Avenger is the only person I am comfortable voting for. Also, town blocking here before a flip is.... Bad. Very bad.

Why? I get pre flip associations but a day 1 town block isn't set in stone.

It's likely one forms regardless as a consequence of shared reads/ideas anyway.

When it's fully charged, I can use it during the day and anyone voting me at that time has one charge taken away. I get a list of their attributes but not who has what (unless I have a master, then I learn what each of them got). Knowing attributes has no relation to the rest of my role though, so as for why that's my Noble Phantasm I really don't know. As a side note,

I was told votes against the town master won't be processed (when I asked Cabd about this, he said it'd count as an unvote at best).

Uh, to avoid any sort of future complication I feel I should correct this miscommunication.

I meant no votes from anyone towards an

elected

town master count (and how that interacts with my Noble Phantasm is paramount). As I think I previously noted, my Noble Phantasm requires me being voted

. (

I don't currently plan on actually using it, but the topic came up when I asked Cabd about abusing it.)

pain to do this on tablet.

A. He said he can drain NP gauges using his NP when voted. Plus attributes etc.
B. Asks cabd if he can vote confirmed town with his ability.

1. He’s right there’s synergy here with foreigner obviously. There’s been no outreach from him to foreigner which I think is a bit odd. The question is whether they’re both town or whether cabd made it that it looks that way but they’re both different alignments or scum together. My Intuition says they’re both different alignments. But obviously there could be 2 or 3 other roles depending on similar information in ounno.

He’s been hilariously transparent, but I have no idea what benefit there would be as town to want to vote confirmed town in what sounds like a separate ability unless he asked cabd if he could drain the NP from confirmed town which is scum motivation, right?

Siri. Remind me I'm Fos'ing this post.

feel like i have a fair amount of townreads and not a lot of scumreads which is kind of concerning

i hope this isn't one of those anonymous games that gets solved by sorting by post count because that would be so boring

They are being deliberately annoying. Is it any wonder the response is annoyance?

The post you replied to was MY reading list for the next couple of days. I'm not through digging, but I'll maybe have some observations about the game designs tonight or early tomorrow, depending on how bad my game-insomnia gets.

@Shielder

When I saw you'd made some posts I figured I'd have some new questions for you, but I don't, at least not on these posts. You set sail with your second post in the game, and have hewed close to that course ever since. This is an observation, not a criticism!

Does this opinion still hold?

This sounds like something scum would say.

y, tho?

Idk how to really explain it, but it seems like there wasn't really any reason to say it. Felt more showy to me.

This was meant for Ruler, not Shielder. OOPS!

---------------------

I may be wrong, but I get the feel that some players would like to end this phase pretty soon and move on. I don't think we'll need to run out the clock, but in an activity-restricted game I hate to give up pages.

Some of y'all could poast more.

people are probably feeling a little stalled without something to push on but ruler/beast/saber/shielder are all in the ??? territory which is not ideal, even though i have some slight bits of towniness from a couple of them.

realized i probably shouldn't be townreading caster just because they've been irritable in their string of recent posts

I don't actually currently think Assassin is scum (though I actually don't mind still electing Assassin).

Archer, Shielder, Rider, someone... probably. Working on it.

Oh yeah, it's a day ability, Ruler.

what changed from last night

My read on you?

Maybe Beast.

you seemed fairly committed so i'm wondering why there was a turnaround

If you mean my predecessors second post, no. I don't find zerker townie really. I'm not sure what they say that caused them to bemoan the lack of votes.

If you mean mine, yes. Are you opposed to receiving the master? Shotgun to the back you would be my vote at the moment.
