Alien warfare I still feel we're doing well. I've had daychat with my Illaman buddy freezeblade (god I hope he's no godfather :shock: ), which is great for organizing actions and strategy. I'm a little worried that Mark may not be Illaman, or if he is, that we need to look fo...

plytho

Hmm, things seem to be slowing down a bit. The main action seems to be Vicarin trying to get Illaman to claim and everyone else telling him that's a bad idea/not going to work. My top suspect, Liri, has been gone for a while again. He has been promising reads since D1 but hasn't delivered yet. (Nice...

plytho

I'll have very little time today. (It's a holiday here and it's fully booked with gardening and boardgames). I agree with jimbob. Vicarin has felt very town all game, but proposing a mark lynch instead of hunting garatron seems like a bad idea. If it wasn't for that town cred I'd think vic was merco...

plytho

So, I still have Laserguy, Vicarin and maven as pretty much obvtowns based on early D1 and nothing has gotten me thinking otherwise. SDK and Sabrar are Mercora and I’m not going to be double checking things on them unless other mercora get lynched or killed. Mark I think is pretty likely Illaman. If...

plytho

I think I'll get to some reads later. I'm still happy with my vote on Liri for now. I'll check out Freezeblade vs jimbob and take a good look at bessie.

plytho

My point is we don't even have the power to make or break that promise. Well, we can make promises conditional on Garatron dying out. That's hardly an issue. If Illaman and Mercora don't think that will happen then they won't be interested in cooperating with us anyway, so that condition won't matt...

My point is we don't even have the power to make or break that promise.

plytho

Convince me that you can help town. Pretend that you're human, and just act that way. If you do that for the rest of the game, then I'm happy sharing the victory with Mercora. The thing you're missing here, and the reason why we can't trust mercora, and the reason Sabrar is frustrated, is that we c...

plytho

@bessie: did you miss my question? Everything from Mercora should be considered wine. Please everyone make an extra effort this game to make sure your reads are your own and not influenced by whatever SDK and Sabrar are saying. Actually, I'm almost tempted to foe Sabrar and SDK for the rest of the g...

plytho

I'd hoped to be able to do some reads today but the weather was nice and a barbecue happened.

Mark's claim does make my job a little easier tomorrow: focus on Liri, bessie, Freezeblade, jimbobmacdoodle.

LaserGuy's question is quite interesting though.

plytho

I'm not in favor of lynching mark. Sure redirector can be annoying to town, but we can track him. If we tell him what to do and he doesn't comply we can always lynch him the next day. If his power becomes a direct threat to town we can lynch him. Right now we can use him. Let's do that.

Vicarin wrote:@Sabrar: Sure. It's just the sort of thing you should probably mention if you want town to not think that you're going to backstab them as soon as you get the chance.

That's pretty naive.

plytho

Vicarin wrote:Yeah, Sabrar and SDK have just been lying liars.

Well, obviously they're not to be trusted.

Mark being revealed as Illaman is fine I think, with one garatron down. I feel like town is ahead now so the fact that we have more humans exposed is less troubling.

bessie wrote: Feeling is wam didn’t know about the other two factions, so if he’s Garatron there’s probably 3.

How did you get that feeling?

plytho

Vote: Liri This answer does not satisfy me. Liri, you need to be much more specific than some vague reference to the wincon to explain yourself there. You seem to be saying you were aware of what the elephant was, but deliberate faked not knowing it in order to get reactions. Please get more specif...

The setup spec isn't even the most suspicious part of that post, it's that last line.

@Liri: I still have an open question about it, could you answer please?

plytho

the ones that pinged me: Liri, bessie, jimbob Can you explain your read on bessie? Also curious why you are null on Mark. I said ping, not read. (because after wam, mpolo, Sabrar and SDK there aren't a lot of my somewhat confident reads left) And the ping was her answering a question from Sabrar ad...

plytho

I think setup is between 5-3-3-2 and 6-2-2-3 We have the very likely Mercora: SDK, Sabrar The likely townies: Vicarin, LaserGuy, maven That leaves about 5 suspcects for 1 Garatron/3 Illaman/1 mercora or 2 garatron/2 Illaman the nulls: freezeblade, Mark the ones that pinged me: Liri, bessie, jimbob S...

Sabrar, what was your town tell on him? Anything garatron could have picked up?

Unvote
Just in case.

Votes are reset when a new day begins.

plytho

I'm surprised by mpolo's alignment and death. Not so much wam's.

Will we be informed if a faction has been eliminated?

I'd like results from the mercora cops and some opinions from Liri and Mark.

plytho

Alien warfare So many things to think! Vicarin is so town it hurts. He can't even imagine the pov of Illaman and why we'd stay quiet. Basically every faction has two paths to victory: 1)eliminate your rival first and survive the battle between the others. 2) see one of your potential...

plytho

Shakespeare Wheel of Time 2 was a cult game with no factional night kill. Two cults had to recruit players from town and attempt to become dominant. There was also a scum faction that could win by getting recruited and becoming dominant in the dominant cult. FTFY. Nice reads list, after a quick ski...

plytho

I agree with Sabrar. Maybe it won't be necessary to wait until alien warfare is entirely over, but at least until the busy early days are behind us.

Sabrar wrote:I'm getting the feeling that mpolo is Town. I could be totally fooled.

You think mpolo, who noticed a major slip in SDK's post, but didn't notice the fact that it contained an alien race he hadn't heard about, is honest town?

plytho

mpolo, please answer my question. @bessie: No way to prove it, but I seriously saw two faction names in SDKs claim and assumed that they were the same two faction names I had. I did not imagine 3 alien factions as even a possibility in so small a game. What is the major slip in SDK's post that you d...

plytho

@Sabrar,jimbob: Do you think mpolo's slip on SDK's post was a deliberate move from a non-mercora alien?

plytho

Liri wrote:I'll make longer posts sometime today, hopefully.

Don't take too long. Wam was most likely hammered and as soon as Heury shows up and calls it Day will end.

plytho

I don't think I have anything high priority. I think generally we should be cautious with information coming from (claimed) mercora. While we can coexist, they have other priorities than us. I actually doubt that mpolo is Mercora because he voted SDK after SDK claimed to be one. But I will check him...

plytho

Hmm, I slightly misread mpolo's post, but still.

plytho

Sure.

unvote: wam

And mpolo, you actually sound like an alien pretending to be human. Just admit you're mercora.

plytho

Yeah, jester doesn't make sense with the wincon.

plytho

I really hope that's a garatron bluff

plytho

That was a LaserGuy ninja. I was talking about mpolo.

plytho

Liri and Mark have been quiet since SDK's post.

Liri, Mark, please provide a list showing who you think is likely human/mercora/Illaman/Garatron.

ninja by jimbob. Yes, evidently we are the same person. Also, I didn't claim mercora. Where did you get that?

plytho

(That has a massive influence on strategy.)

Also, jimbob's early defense of wam isn't looking as townie as it did before.

plytho

Will we be informed if a faction has been eliminated?

plytho

There he is!

Mpolo's response to SDK's post shows he's still only aware of two aliens at that point.
