Mini 1630: Edgar Allan Poe uPick GAME OVER!

[Medea the Alien]

Well I was going to walk in here to yelll and ceph and reign orcinus back to the driver's seat but then lynx kept posting and ???


PL gets no townpoints for that opening, he literally went down the "what makes morph townread something on the first post" list and checked every box as he went. Which seems too deliberate and targeted at me?


P-edit: I expect some amusing walls in response from copper, now having played with him once and seeing his style.

[Medea the Alien]

That was two posts. And is this gonna be advance wars where you keep prepping cases on me until ffery tells you i'm a mason?

[Medea the Alien]

what the fuck is this shit.

-ceph

I dunno man, I thin lynx might be crumbing something but keep it super duper sekrit so nobody else notices.


P-edit: If you're claiming you're more positive utility while dead then why be coy about it?

[Medea the Alien]

I actually have ffery-as-mod/gamedesigner meta here, but i'm not entirely sure it's worth discussing today.

[Medea the Alien]

oops i was asleep hi, this is egopost.

I'm also fairly certain this is a lie

Missed this one. Tell me all about my sleepy nap habits, orci. I'm sure you know them better than I do! I definitely never wake up, post once or twice, then roll back over because I'm a lazy fucker! (Also my main didn't get a daystart PM I feel tier's pains)

[Medea the Alien]

I haven't actually run into any post restriction'ed players that flip scum though, so maybe I'm biased

You're forgetting that time in chef mafia!

[Medea the Alien]

Home, here, reading up. (side note: never fly in or out of o'hare if you value your sanity)

[Medea the Alien]

Back from V/LA. Will catch up and begin posting tonight.

[Medea the Alien]

ok I lied. NOW I am catching up.

[Medea the Alien]

Medea the Alien: down here as essentially a penalty for being cabd

Implying you'd have me at town otherwise for a single post?

[Medea the Alien]

Townreads on copper, ghato, tier. The start thing too. Not nearly as townreading of bookitty as I expected to be? More reads once I've had a deeper re-read, penguin's promised me to read and give her input as well.

The amount of claiming here is giving me hives because knowing ffery there's definitely ways to punish claimed abilities.

[Medea the Alien]

I'm here, I just am sort of checked out. OTOH, we bought new furniture and I'm interviewing for a job, so yay?

I'm content to sit off the wagon, see the results of lynx's ability, and then show myself town through my play.

I was actually expecting claims like Kthnx's, although not quite exactly what he claimed, because this is a ffery setup, there is ALWAYS negative utility to punish pure massclaiming early. I really wish nobody had claimed except lynx and policy.

[Medea the Alien]

I do not have a town read there, the role claim in and of itself is null, as I'd expect fakeclaims to also be both a mix of positive and negative utility.

[Medea the Alien]

Hi. My fever has broken, I'm mostly back to normal and am now catching up once more. Should my health or schedule necessitate any more away time then I will replace out, but until then I still feel like I can make some sort of impact this game.

[Medea the Alien]

From a quick skim of the past few IRL days:

Inclined to believe KB over kthnx for several reasons, which other people have mostly stated. Will also add that ffery and I have talked extensively before about post restrictions that have both positive and negative feedback. Some of that was seen in her prior mini theme, where the post restriction, when followed, enabled extra aspects of a role.

Don't understand why people are attacking ghato over the "he lied about neighborizing lynx" thing. In what universe does scum-ghato claim the dead neighborize day one, claim their target, then not actually do exactly that? I mean, there's literally no upside to NOT neighborizing lynx there.

I find it likely there's a third party out there. ffery as a game designer is fond of neutral third parties (think survivor) and giving them options to win with either side as they so choose, but serial killer isn't out of the realm of possibility either. This also explains the result from lynx's ability. It's the mod's way of hinting at multiple alignments out there, without flat out stating it. It is her (ffery's) lexicon to collectively call anything non-town "scum" not just a mafia faction. I find it most likely that there was a third party on that wagon, in addition to one scum. So third party and one scum on the wagon. Rest of scum (1 or 2) off the wagon. The fact that ffery went with "non-morbid" instead of stating the name of the scum faction in both lynx's role PM and the results ITT also lends support to this theory.

More thoughts in a bit.

Hi guys


~f

[Medea the Alien]

Thanks for the loverise, they almost certainly shot me.

[Medea the Alien]

Can I interest ye folks in some sweet, sweet WIFOM?

Because I can totally serve up a slice of that.

And my third party thing wasn't mere speculation from my part, there's one out there amongst you~

[Medea the Alien]

Oh one more thing, thank you lynx, the sensor thing was the PERFECT distraction we all needed.

And no bad blood kthnx, the taking you down with us thing was planned way in advance. Not you as the target, but you served a nice juicy loud distracting target, so how could we not?

[Medea the Alien]

I know, posting random noise here is so lovely!


That's why I have a limited number of posts, otherwise you'd have 250 pages of random gifs by now.
