Forgot to write this one for A50:

After xyzzy's grisly murder, you resolve to have a good time. A little thing like death shouldn't keep you from booze a decent board game! So you mix yourself a nice
Jack and Coke
, and settle on the couch to wait for Pine to come back downstairs. Hmmm...this is taking a while...you
don't feel so great
...why is everything blurry? Your stomach hurts. Actually...your
everything
hurts! Fade to black...shouldn't have left your
drink unattended
...

You have
died
! Feel free to join us in the dead thread.

Yeah because you didn't submit an action, fam. Even with a 12-hour warning and a few hour grace period after the deadline passed.

tw got his in with less than an hour to spare, for the record. It's the second time in a row he's almost forgotten.

Also for the record, tw's Tracker shots are expended. With his BP shot spent, tracker shots gone, and the multitasking modifier irrelevant, he's a straight, vanilla SK.

Ugh we should've gone for gamma last night
Yeah you really should have. Ausuka would have been an even better kill, despite the fact that it virtually guarantees a MoI lynch. She’s wielding the Loyal FV role even more competently than expected.

^Confirming this. Brassherald is very likely town. It's possible that Mafia have a tracker or a watcher but meh I think he's just town.
VOTE: Ausuka

The only way this vote is moving might (and only might) be to Skygazer who is pretty obvious scum.

Anyone who doesn't see that clearing Brass (who 0.00% of the playerbase thought was scum) as opposed to confirming I'm scum as she was whining about yesterday or clearing in the Pool of Death is 100% scum motivated play as opposed to game solving.

If you don't see that I can't help you. In which case go ahead and flip me today. It locks in Ausuka scum with my Town flip and minimizes the WIFOM damage her "clears" will do down the line (which right now is mostly only Rask IMO) and confirm both Nos and Chickadee as lock-Town.
This is a really solid argument, and I kinda hope MoI pulls it off.

@the worst:
Never mind the Mafia also killed me, but you killing me is kinda stupid as I was on your side all the way! You never learn, do you? :P

@Mafia:
THANK YOU. How do you feel about killing a VT?? Also, why am I always dead on the first night I join a game, and especially so when
I am
a VT?? :lol:

@Rasko:
Happy now?? "Why would a VT get NK'd?" he says. :roll:

Yeah, no problem. Just remember that I do get NK'd as a CLAIMED VANILLA TOWNIE all the same. My claim canNOT be trusted by the "evil forces" and those who know me well know that for a fact.

Wouldn't have done much good.
You were double-killed so a doc protect on you wouldn't work because in Normals doctors protect from only a single kill attempt.

Not complaining about the NK nor even the no protection. Rask suspected me bc I claimed a VT and when I explained I might be baiting the NK still he didn't buy it and sus'd me more/

I believe in Ausuka 99% of the way, but I'm worried they will out Rask as the Doc because of paranoia.
Haven't read the game at all after my replace out so no idea how this will pan out otherwise.

classic rock stations should exclusively play "The Boys Are Back in Town". it provides you with useful info vis a vis the boys and their proximity to town

I'd love to have a conversation about this somewhere else, but let's table the off-topic discussions.
I'm not a Rock expert, but when I was a teenager almost everything was attributed to "Rock" in some way. Michael's Beat It & Billie Jean were "Rock Ballads". Duran Duran were "New Wave Rock". U2 & The Police were "Pop Rock". There was also Alternative Rock, Punk Rock and even Reggae Rock (Eddie Grant for instance, and some of UB40 classics).

Well, you're probably younger than I am, but I'm sure you recognize every single name on the list (I'd give it a 50-50 on Eddie Grant and 100% on the rest).
So apparently game rules don’t apply if you’re commenting on something that has nothing to do with the game.
Or A50 has some weird ass role that Pine failed to mention,

The post was deleted, as was Jingle's off-topic reply to it.

Please be more careful, A50. No hard feelings, though, I got all your references. And as for "rock experts" preferring to be called "geologists"...well, I was a Geology major in college.

So yeah. Rock expert here.

It's really not a big deal. If there had been game-relevant information, it would have been, but you were just chatting. I toyed with actually leaving it in place, but it was off-topic following a mod request to return to the game.

In post 3211, Ausuka wrote:how am I a high information flip? and why on earth would you protect MOI???

like if mafia want to shoot MOI I see no reason to not just let them do it considering without the claim we'd be lynching him today.
How are you not a high-info flip? When you flip Loyal FV, everyone you've vended to gets hardcleared. It also serves as a hard counter to MoI's claim (which is likely why he's apathetic - he got screwed by claim.)

Also, if MoI doesn't get lynched today, the smart play would be to have him not vend and claim to have received something from him. It's a soft inno when he's revealed as a Disloyal FV.

In post 3457, Ausuka wrote:I feel like if a duplicate game had been passed through the NRG recently there wouldn't have been any uncertainty about this at all. Feel free to correct me if I'm angleshooting myself in the foot / reading too much into it / interpreting incorrectly but that's how I see this.
Actually not the case: if a game has been passed through the NRG, only the NRG members involved in that game know of the mechanics within...

...And because you can't, saaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy...discuss the existence of a mason tracker, while the game with the mason tracker is ongoing--not even backstage--it stays that way. Only implosion (the listmod) and the reviewers involved in the review (which happen to be two individuals) would know about it, until the game was well and truly over. Then and ONLY then if there is a question regarding the game would it be brought up backstage.

Now it
just so happened
that I actually AM a reviewer for the game...but near as I can tell, this information isn't publicized anywhere in the game. People who're NRG members would know it, but for plebeian gamers (so to speak), they'd have no knowledge of that fact.

Also, I was the secondary reviewer on this game, not the primary.

As the secondary reviewer, I did literally nothing, because as far as I know, my job as the secondary reviewer was to essentially do literally nothing. (This was one of the first games reviewed under the new system, and was my first game as a secondary reviewer, so I didn't quite know what the role of a secondary reviewer was, fully. I ended up doing almost nothing. So if you think the game's not well-designed, you can blame me; if you think the game's well-designed, you can thank Firebringer. :P)

So my statement really doesn't mean anything there, because I was barely involved in this game's creation at all. If a duplicate role was present, I'm not sure I'd even have been aware of it, given my role as a secondary reviewer rather than the primary reviewer.

Not going to bother replacing MoI. TW locked in his kill there, and Rask is protecting Ausuka...who Skygazer has sent a kill on.

I’m definitely going to get “overpowered Town!” complaints here. Well, tough. Scum had plenty of power. Town has gotten ridiculously lucky with their shots, and has skillfully used them to take the scumteam apart.

Skygazer is my dark horse to win, though, due to some especially effective bussing.
