It may seem bad form but I can adhere to lynching the dead slots to keep the game going. I myself would have replaced out long ago if not for the difficulties in finding replacements.
I do better once the playerlist is culled anyway, and we're probably sitting alright with like, what, 2 scum dead already?
I wouldn't be remiss if the game were called, but that's selfish. We have a good chance of bagging this game, especially with what seems like another slam dunk scum lynch on the way! But only if the game continues!
I was sheeping FB, so, VOTE: Invisi

Why does sheeting them mean you won’t vote to kill them off
What did fire do that was soooooo towny?

the whole "Creature is posting so Creature is town" is stale old meta. Do you mean his "guilty" on Mastina?
His result on mastina more or less confirmed her role, actually.
Spell mastina’s flavor. I’ll wait,
Ginngie, Guilty Faker
Ginngie, False Detective
Ginngie, Town Misfaker
Ginngie, Town Challenger
That wasn't hard. The only reason people are even questioning it is because "Ginngie" doesn't have an a in it and mastina didn't claim full flavour.
For what it's worth, my role follows an "___, x of y" format and it seems like variations on that are the norm in this game.

I'll vote them too is needed, but I townread the slot, whereas I have no read on Invisi. It only makes sense to vote the one first!
It's nothing they've done specifically, but a general playstyle read!

Also if you check my history in uPicks which have freeform in what's available to pick.
In 100% of them.
The entirety of my picks have been scummers on-site, without fail.
I never submit a non-scummer for an anything uPick.
Because pathetic as that implication may be, mafiascum really is what I think of most.

This is easily the scummiest slot in the game.
Sure is!
Scummiest != scum tho and I happen to know better than that.

Nero's town due to this being his towngame. I realize you're a replacement so you've only seen the drop in Nero's posting habits, rather than witnessing them the whole game, but take my word for it or take the time to iso him, whichever you prefer; when doing so, you'll realize this has been his towngame through and through.
Nico, good question. Because this is
also
her towngame through and through.

Uh, my own BoP says I'm a terrible player, objectively mediocre-at-best: situationally useful, nigh-OP gamebreaking solving the scumteam when given the right circumstances; when not given said circumstances, doing dismally and being lucky to catch so much as a single scum. (This is admittedly one of the main reasons I defend NicoRobin; I see a lot of myself in her, particularly those traits.) What gave you the impression that I'm a good player? I certainly never said as much. (Heck I've been wrong provably 2/3 times thusfar.)
The rules don't change for any reason, not even town faking a guilty on me. Just because I know it's faked doesn't mean I'm dumb enough to automatically assume it must come from scum; sadly, I know all too good and well that's not the case. Creature is town. Just...really, really stupid town.
Right. HURT: Lady Angel, Invisibility, WhemeStar.
With my vote remaining on FireBringer.

If FB and Invis replaced out because they're scum who don't think scum has a shot at winning anymore, then why bother playing the game to an inevitable conclusion?
If RC as the most informed party thinks calling it is the right call, I'm fine with taking him at his word.
To be clear, I will stick around if the game continues, I just don't see a reason to continue the game if we're just going to lynch based on the assumption that it's mechanically broken without using the presumed mechanical brokenness.
I was directly countering what they said because I was pointing out that what
they
want is not a good thing and never will be; what
I
prefer is something that has some actual real backing behind it.
In post 5524, Vecna wrote:So, then INSTA-GLADIATE creature, if he's confirmed to be lying to you?
We dont need a democratic process if you know he's lying. Your role gives you that power. Fuck what we agreed before, people have changed their mind and appreciate some speed.
This would be fine logic if confirmed liar = confirmed scum.
Unfortunately, it does not.
I am not a moron.
I know Creature's result is inaccurate, but I also know that Creature in spite of claiming an inaccurate result is town. Thus, the rule remains in place; I will not impulse gladiate someone who I believe is town. That'd be the absolute worst possible usage of my role.
Neither did I; I was under the impression that Ginngie was my flavor role title (with hated loyal gladiator being my role title), and that the text following it was purely flavor.
If it makes a difference tho, the text following is "Claimer of Guilties".
In post 5488, Firebringer wrote:this game has some of the worst mechanics i have ever seen in a mafia game.
like next to undertale mafia actually where there was zero scum.
Can we please just insta-gladiate this slot? How is this not a scum-claim fed up with Mastina's role? Just like the varsoon anger.
Really, we do not need to have this dragged out much longer, do we?
I'd be all too happy to, but the rules never change, not even when I want them to.
Yes, as the gladiator, I hold the power to make the change if I so wish, but that is not a decision I will ever make, and my reasoning remains the same. I do not believe in taking the fate of the game into the hands of a player who is, provably, sub-optimal in performance overall, especially in such dictatorial roles.
I am advocating for a Firebringer gladiate tho and would encourage you to do the same. Get the votes/hurts in there and I would happily do so in a heartbeat.

No I mean the part that came after the guilty, namely him realizing it wasnt actually a guilty, but more likely a confirmation that Mastina is telling the truth. Strange you'd miss that
ok, this means what exactly?

General rule of thumb for scumastina, anything is
possible
to be scumastina, because she's
capable
of coming up with any plan, it's just more a matter of whether she would. Judgement beyond that is best left to others as to avoid self-meta bias tho I obviously know the answer.
(It's no; I
could
think of something like that but pragmatically never would.)

HURT: NicoRobin, Firebringer, Invisibility
Mastina's role is basically confirmed at this point, so I'm pretty willing to go on with her plan, although I'm very adamant about lynching/gladiating Nico, meta or not. In fact, the only other game I've played with Nico, she replaced herself out day 1 for being (correctly) read as scum for something she considers her town trait, so she's at least somewhat capable of meta manipulation. I don't expect Mastina to do it, but we can still lynch and force her to gladiate someone or let Nico be lynched, so I'm keeping my vote there.
Killing inactives to keep the game alive is fine by me, too.
