@dicetosser1 why are you voting for Cass?

 

I feel the way that voting happens this game is going to mess people up.

I feel like voting cass is a great way to wake her up ?

Actually it did.  He said to pretend I peeked him, which implies that I didn't.  If he's VT, he has no way of knowing I didn't.  Mafia would know they weren't peeked; the only way Town!AJ would know is if he's the cop.

 

He made the post to imply he IS, in fact, the cop.

 

I made my post to imply I know he CAN'T be the cop (the implication being, of course, that I know this become I AM the cop).

 

But it was 100 percent in jest, and I would be shocked if he didn't pick that up.  I'm pretty sure nobody - not even me - is drawing a nightkill of a meaningless post six hours into the game before half the roster has even checked in lol

I read it as him saying it, like he wanted you to do what you did in another game. I just didn’t see the connection here was all.

i think voting like a regular game is the best way to go in this game and will provide the most information.

We want to be making sure there is someone a majority of the people feel poorly about in this. Voting someone we think is town will actually yield less information than if we have two people trying to prove theirselves. 

 

There is only one time to vote someone who is town and that is if the seer has to reveal themselves. Then they bring in someone everyday, and it protects our known town.

 

I don’t think the accuser is safe from NKs, if I’m reading it right. Only the person on trial is safe in that regard.

 

The lynch dynamic is going to be problematic. Firstly we have to nominate someone in good standing (who the majority also agrees with their proposed accusee) and then after the trial period everyone votes for the person accused to live or die.

 

It actually is a wacky way to NL but I think that’s why Cory made it so the Seer becomes vanilla if they go on trial.

I'm not sure I follow here.  Voting a scummy person to pick someone to accuse seems like not a great strategy?  We only get to potentially vote off the defendant.   

 

I think I’m just confused then lmao. We can’t vote either of them?

 

most likely voting someone scummy in will result in their lunch regardless

(if they can be lynched after the arguments) 

however if they are town and we still Lynch them it will gleam some information we generally would never have gotten in a regular game imo. 

 

Linda like a last breath for them

But voting doesn't work the way it normally does, so why would this even matter?

You’re missing context from the other game. I’m pretty sure Clov got the reference though.

[Andrej]

The important info is going to come from who votes yes, no, abstains from the trial verdict.

 

I believe that’s the intent anyway.

Wut?  I think you are confused.  No...it's like...vote for AJ, AJ gets to pick someone he wants to accuse...and then the accused stands trial, and you either vote to lynch that person or not.  How would voting a scum in ever help?  They are never going to put their teammate on trial...

Ok I’ll read it again but this makes sense now if that’s the case

No, it's not an either or.  It's literally, "Do you want to lynch the person the voted player named?"  So if I get voted today... I name a player.  I cannot be lynched.  Nobody can be lynched but the player I named.

 

In other words, if we vote for mafia, there is basically a zero percent chance of lynching scum - because mafia isn't going to choose their teammate for no reason.

No?  Voting during the day is basically picking a proxy for town.  The proxy then decides who town will vote on to lynch or no lynch.

[TrippedOnReality]

Has anyone played with seph before? 

[seph]

Ok that makes sense, I maybe should have re read the rules before I posted that rofl.

 

thank you all for the clarifications ?

I've played with everyone on the roster.  As far as I can tell, I'm the only one who can say that (not sure if AJ has ever played with Darci).

I took it as a joke from dice, as was my statement which is why I said it didn’t matter.

Ugggggh

[Clovdyx]

If you're trying to figure out whether his confusion here is alignment indicative, I'd probably say it's very slightly more likely to come from town!Seph (probably because I think town!anyone is slightly more likely to be unsure than mafia).  But I really wouldn't read into it one way or the other tbh

Does seph normally not pay attention to mechanics/setup?

That's fair.  I just didn't know if it was a dice/cass thing.  I would still like Dice to answer the question though.

Unless they were in the two games I’ve played at PerC then no. But I don’t remember who else was in those games mostly besides Tripped and a few others that aren’t here anyway

I don’t think this would be a tactic he’d try as scum since it would get literally zero support and (already) a few side eyes

[Lenlo]

To me, this game seems to revolve around locking in a town core, and voting them to accuse and control the lynch. Get a core you can trust, use them. If you cant trust who your giving the lynch power to, its an uphill battle from there.

Are you saying he's town then, or just he's not deliberately faking it as mafia in hopes of disrupting the status quo?  

 

If you mean the latter, I agree - I don't think this is a strategy he came up with.  But I'm not ruling out the general confusion as mafia yet.

I’m fine with your take.
