I'm watching {sporting event} so I won't go into much detail, but I kinda agree--the followup here was what you thought of McQueen's argument then, since McQueen was using this as the majority of his case on TGP afaik

Says we should be dancing as much as possible then rejects AP’s dance request in the very next post.

I think his push came more from the hypocrisy than that post alone

McQueen/Moment if you’re around we should switch to NL.

I'm still not entirely convinced that it's the correct play.

I don't believe TGP is likely to be scum, but I'm not sure if my townread on him is to the degree that I'd rather no-lynch.

I'm open to being convinced.

Ugh only 15 minutes

Read #593 again

Also TGP either had help with this claim or he has blown out any expectation I have of him here.

Since there's no way I can read the rest (pg 21 or so) in 20 minutes, I'll mention I'm going to keep my NL status. It has been demonstrated a few times already that not everyone has read the setup properly, and it is D1. Think he just kind of fucked up in general here. For AP(A50?)'s case, more likely he was trying to get things going in his own way and didn't even expect TGP to decline. I don't SR read him at this point and actually think a NL is best. Would be a shame to throw away his brand of scumhunting so early.

Just more game mechanic talk, but I think the ideal number of pairings is 0 or 2. 3 if there's a particularly strong SR that people want to pair up instead of lynching, for whatever reason.

You have to actually vote no lynch

Please do that.

Right now your vote doesn’t count.

Fuck I don’t think it’s going to be fast enough.

Curse the super bowl.

If this flips town someone check if McQ posted elsewhere between his last post and deadline


Or remind me to

You can check pre-emptively anyways. (The answer is no.)

Actuslly do the same with everyone on that wagon

I know I was trying to get my last bit out before deadline

Scumreads?

You are a

Town Dancemaster

.

• DAY POWERS:
  • You may vote and use your voice.
• ACTIVATED POWERS (ANY TIME):
  • Not on MY Watch!:
    Once in the game, you may permanently shut down any dance private topic of your choice. The players will be notified "the dancemaster deems you incompatible". This will take effect instantaneously. If you use this power, the players in question may never again partner (pair up) with one another or duel one another.
    
    You may not self-target.
    
    If you use this power during the day on a couple that is currently partnered (paired up), there is an extra consequence. You will nullify their partnership, disabling their status as lovers. However, it will be publicly declared their relationship has been broken, and that they are valid partners for dances.
    
    Regardless of circumstances, you may not use this power on two individuals locked in a duel (gladiate).
• PASSIVE POWERS:
  • Record-keeper:
    You have access to
    [REDACTED]
    , containing a master list of all dance private topics in the game. You may post in that topic at will; it is your own personal private topic; use it however you see fit.
    
  • Overseer:
    You have access to every dance private topic in the game, able to read their contents at will. However, you may only post in dance topics where you are a dance partner.
• WIN CONDITION:
  You win if all
  Mafia
  are dead, and at least one member of
  the

  Town
  is alive.

Please confirm your role via PM.

Good luck, and have fun!

Game thread is here.

I think TheGoldenParadox is town, guys.

, , and .

I’m seeing little reason here not to pair up with McQ right now, based on what just happened.

Thoughts?

After tgp's flip I am less certain how we are supposed to strategize here. I think based on what we know it is still best to keep townies unpaired and ask scumreads to only dance with other scumreads.

Lovers, usually, is primarily negative utility and pts should not make up for that.

I think that's still right... and actually tgp's role makes me think it may be more true. Say there is a pt cop--the neghborhood would then actually be doubling down on negative utility on top of the lover's mechanic.

I'm not sure pt cop is likely here, but I guess I'm trying to figure out why tgp would be able to close a pt as a pro-town role.

So yeah, I'm not really sure. Are you saying you scumread mcqueen?
