[FM-Father and Sun]

what is it with the terrible reasons to scumread people lol

Just seeing that this has happened gives me warm and fuzziness about my vote

[FM-Father and Sun]

I read the last 5 pages, but I don’t remember most of it. So it wasn’t very important. TLDR Pressure votes + bad scumreads.

Lol OK.

I've missed c.24hrs of the thread so feel disconnected.

A few qs to get things going:
1) what do you make of eyes, my top scum read?
2) what are your strongest reads?

[FM-Father and Sun]

I might re-iso you. I came to the conclusion earlier that you could die but now that you have more content I may change my mind.

It's these sort of posts thay give me herby jeebies about kitty cat.

They just stick out as awkward to me- like she's not really invested in her reads but knows she needs to make them

Don't understand how that's an awkward post. Mafia Bro had literally posted 5 times.

Then why talk about iso'ing instead of isoing? It's still only 19 posts

Iso me bro daddy

You are voting where I am though so that's good

I like it's something. Might be because they're the person I've spoken to most in thread...

[FM-Father and Sun]

Oh arcades dead!

2 deaths d1 lolol

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

Iso me bro daddy

Just did, my conclusion didn't change.

You haven't said or done anything game related but you've voted multiple times. You very much fit into the UTR scum box.

Valid conclusion tbh though

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

Do you have a read on Mafia Bro?

[FM-Father and Sun]

Do you have a read on Mafia Bro?

I did the same as you and came to same conclusion

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

Mafia Bro feels more like a target for night KP then a target for elimination.

[FM-Father and Sun]

Yh.

I was gunna say itas but don't think we have them.

[FM-Father and Sun]

Its the kind of slot that can save itself if it starts solving/ voting / acting townily

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

Yh.

I was gunna say itas but don't think we have them.

I hope we have them somehow.

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

Either way, we were given a lot of poisons, so we should be able to clear out the less active & less towny slots quite quickly.

[FM-Tesseract]

C. SINCE IT LITERALLY SAYS THE WORD "TRIAD" IN THE HOST SIGN UP ITS SAFE TO ASSUME WE HAVE TRIAD/2ND SCUM.PARTY

Doing a bit of dissecting here. Hey @Myopia, can you please point me to where the word triad was mentioned? I attempted to, but was unable to, find it. I checked SOD posts, signup, and setup links and cannot find the use of the word triad.

Bad read broski

No bro has ever been more towny than this bro, bro

[FM-Mafia Bro]

I can only make so many serious posts and bad things happen to me if nobody laughs. I'm not active enough (cause this game has been somewhat awful to read so far lol) to brute force it so here we are instead


Diplomacy 101, bro

[FM-Dark Unicorn]

Good morning. It is possible that if you visit someone else, then bad things happen to your target. Those bad things could range from the spread of infection (Cult??) to, perhaps, death to all of ya'll. Might be an interesting take on Cult, where infection spreads and then the leader of such a faction activates conversion and boom, gets many converts out of all the infectees. Kinda scary.

I had not considered that. I could see some mechanic where I am contagious in some way. We may revisit this later.

I dont know what you mean

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

mafia bro are you softing a post restriction

cause' i kinda dont buy it tbh

[FM-Tesseract]

My recommendation would be to either holster any actions you may have N1 or to apply them to players you wouldn't mind being gonezo (like your scum suspects). We may hope that we will gain more clarity about the nature of the parasitic infection with time, maybe as early as D2.

[FM-Chad Knight]

What is the implication that there may be a virus within our society? I do not understand.

Good shout to be honest, I didn't remember the word triad either but assumed I just missed it.

[FM-Chad Knight]

I do remember somebody saying it. I do not remember who nor where.

[FM-Tesseract]

Actually, after reading the Stealthbomber16 role one more time, I have yet another theory here. Maybe the SB16 role holder has a neutral Lover-type alignment, and they are in "love" with their target. This would explain why the rolecard flip only talks about mechanics of the infection (SB16 role learns many pieces of information about their target) but doesn't say much more. I suspect there is more text not revealed to us that falls under "factional" or alignment sections not shown to us (things like win-con). The curious aspect of the role, though, is that it says "you don't know who they [the target] are". Bad news here is that if Dark Unicorn was tied up with this SB16 person, then now SB16 knows who their target is since Unicorn claimed to have a parasitic infection. It may also be an Executioner type of role where they know their target's role, alignment, private chats, etc. but not the identity and maybe their goal is to figure out which player it is and to get them killed. Good luck, Unicorn.

[FM-Mr Bones]

3p disguiser is my theory on it

[FM-Tesseract]

3p disguiser is my theory on it

Who disguises into the infected slot? That does not make sense, since we'd know that Dark Unicorn is the target then. Or did you have some other, more elaborate, idea behind the disguiser possibility?

[FM-Mafia Bro]

Much like putting sour cream on nachos...it's more of a suggestion than a requirement, but it vastly improves the experience

[FM-Mr Bones]

anyone capable of not making a bunch of syntactical errors could easily make the switch! spooky!

but moreover a third party gaining information on the slot they can guise into sounds, pretty reasonable to me

Yeah, if that was the case the cats out of the bag already. Not much to be done there but the way it changes investigative results made me feel it was important to reveal. Also the idea of hidden votes really bothers me. I have been peeking at the vote counter to see if the numbers change in an odd way but haven't noticed anything yet. I am not sure if there is anything we can do to counter such a function but its going to be more of an issue as the game goes on.

I am not sure if its likely for me to convert players for another faction. That would basically make me play against my own win condition which would be questionable from a design standpoint. Although it would certainly be interesting and unique I am not sure if it would be seen as fun.

Im kinda just resigned to see how stuff plays out. There is just too many potentials for us to make any real progress on my condition right now. As time goes on we will probably get more information but if it becomes a big enough issue we can just kill me to get rid of it. I would absolutely be in favor of that if I change others alignments.

The brain worm role has been revealed. We know it’s unrelated to the avatar shenanigans. It is a different role which we have not seen yet. That, as far as I’m concerned, is the end of the discussion.

[FM-Mr Bones]

mr bones agrees with chad and dark!

Talking about it more is an easy out for wolves

Are you guys fucking joking 600 replies to deal with?!?

Nobody is asking you to read all of them. Just give us your thoughts on the game.

The amount of discourse is unusual for our community, but not for the amount of players.

[FM-Myopia]

I do agree that eliminating the 3p is a safe way of approaching the day. Considering the counter wagon is an individual which I townread, I am inclined to go eradicate the one who would not further the goals of the town.

-vote FM-Arcade

This.

[FM-Mr Bones]

i did

[FM-Myopia]

Eliminating parties that do not get oneself closer to fulfilling their win-con sounds like a hilarious waste of a day, so let's not do that.

What? U sound like anti town man

[FM-Dark Unicorn]

The amount of discourse is unusual for our community, but not for the amount of players.

Its not too surprising given some roles seem to depend on post amount. I very much doubt Tesseract is the only one with some such function.

[FM-Father and Sun]

This.

It could be something that is possible. But I don’t see something suggesting as much.

[FM-Father and Sun]

It's role madness and ppl still trying to work out what roles exist

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

Its not too surprising given some roles seem to depend on post amount. I very much doubt Tesseract is the only one with some such function.

I guess there could also be roles with post limitations as well, but that seems much more anti-fun then anything, so I hope they dont exist.

[FM-Kitty Cat Dance]

By the way, I find it extremely unlikely i'll be here for the last couple hours of EOD, so if you have questions nows the time to ask them.

[FM-Chad Knight]

I find it much more likely that people are adopting unusual speech patterns or posting styles in an attempt to vary their play for entertainment. There is nothing requiring me to use an expanded vernacular, or communicate in the way that I am. I’m simply choosing to. If it becomes inconvenient, I simply won’t.

Tesseract very clearly has to communicate en mass. That’s something I’m content to humor. Mafia bro’s communication style isn’t distracting or invasive. I am willing to humor that as well.
