There is no way set-up speculation will get us anywhere today. Anyone who continues along that path gets scumpoints.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, Tsukasa's posts are pinging me pretty hard.

FOS Tsukasa
Royston
also I don't have a win condition in my PM. Is that something meaningful or was that just done for brevity (along with the lack of mentioning alignment). Yeah I've seen the post about "if there isn't an alignment listed, you're town" but it still kinda unnerves me. :(

fartownik
I don't really see a point in voting for "???" right now, we know nothing about it. It really might flip anything, even Jester and then we would probably lose the game because we lynched it ;o It really makes no sense to discuss it right now, everyone that votes him (especially for no reason, just like kook did) pings for scum.

At least ??? should not be town. The chance for a scum is higher than others.

Although truthfully I am curious about ???
rEdo
sorry for that edit, didn't want to make a EBWOP, and he responded quite fast :­(

the thing is, we all are unaware what this ??? is, and this even could be some kind of a king we have to protect, it's up to host's creativity. anyway, the most safe thing to do is to leave it alone until it's revealed, and IMO to vote that thing could ping for scum, since they would know something that townies don't.
fartownik
kook's argument made no sense, simple as that. He voted someone that he thought would be the least harmful for him, someone that can't counter his attack. He probably thinks that he's supposed to do something, but doesn't really know what and this is what comes out of it.

Also rEdo please stop sheeping to me :f
Raging Bull
The Poland team leads with 1. Scum 0.
Royston
Honestly, I agree with kook

I assume that their are more Town-aligned players than non-Town players in the general pool - that's a fairly safe assumption in my opinion. However, the chance of ??? being town-aligned? It's possible but it could just as easily be scum-aligned or a neutral party. Therefore, if I were to vote ??? I'd say the odds of that helping town would be greater than lynching someone at random. You could say it's a null point because I'm obviously not going to vote at random, but I feel it's a valid point.

Anyway, unvote because I just wanted to see more posts by that person
fartownik
Voting "The 15th Person" (Official Codename) is even more random than voting someone at random.
rEdo
but sheeping is fun! guide me thru the whole game pls, good sir 8D boland stronk

on a serious note though, isn't that just common sense? I don't really understand why that three question marks guy (let's stick to male definite) would have a higher chance to be scum than the rest of us. it's pretty much what Royston said - the odds for him to be either scum, town, or even neutral, are the same.

but I disagree with one thing - it could also be someone that's gonna bring Town some kind of PR that could even be gamebreaking, so I wouldn't say killing him would be better for Town. unless Mafia has knowledge who that person is and for some reason wants to get rid of that person as soon as possible (and that's what I believe, that's why I don't necessarily trust people who wanna lynch him), it's a complete gambit that would mean completely the same as RVing somebody out of the game. let's be patient, guys.
DakeDekaane
I'd prefer to vote a known and scummy person than a just unknown one.

Interesting way of putting this.

I'm aware that it's also a scum play; I've actually done it as both alignments before. The issue with this is that there are significantly different reasons why town and scum would self-vote at the start of games, and I'm seeing the town mindset being more clear this time.

Blue Yoshi_old
I don't understand why self-voting, especially in the beginning, is a towntell. In my eyes, it's just a timewaster, as well as an RVS vote that literally goes against the meaning of RVS.
And when it's done so early, there's really no danger in anything snowballing onto you. How exactly is self voting pro-town? The way I see it, it's almost leaning-scum.

It's not a towntell or a scumtell. It's actually a pretty weak tell in of itself, but I myself have done it as both town and scum (and have seen both town and scum do it), and it really isn't as bad as you make it out to be.

Actually, answers like these are why it can be used to protown motivations.

"Nobody saw the egg." What.
Blue Yoshi_old
Our first course of action is to find this egg.

Kook being scum feels way too easy. Just wanted to get that out there.

Also, clearly the egg is a yoshi egg that can be thrown at someone to kill them. That is why Yoshi wants to find it so badly.

Let's see.

A nonsensical reason for voting someone who doesn't "exist" yet. Maybe I have too much faith in people but even if you're a newbie, I don't think any mafia is dumb enough to draw unwanted attention to themselves like that. This is especially compounded if the mafia has daychat, making it even less likely.

Those that jump onto those statements are usually looking for an easy lynch that no one would question, thus an easy scapegoat.
Knarf
Well, that's fine.
I still wonder if ??? is beneficial to town though there's not much information.

None of his posts make sense so far, even the one above. I think I have to agree with you, I can't really say anything until he starts posting more, because judging that by only 5 posts is just not enough. Might be scum afraid of posting or town afraid of doing something stupid and getting lynched... he's doing both.

My vote on him was a reaction test anyways, and he didn't even respond to it. Inactivity card goes here.

@kookookook, if you don't post because you're afraid you being lynched - start posting. It works right in the opposite direction, the less you post the less information we can gather about you and the more unsure we are.

He took it lightly, he didn't attack me or anything for the vote. It seemed towny.
If this was the wrong move specifically because of BRBP, I apologize. I don't exactly know anyone's behavior/meta here, so I go off what is normal.

BREAKING NEWS - THE NIGHT IS DANGEROUS.

I might give a better hint once the first night has gone by....

*serious face*
fartownik
The amount of letters in the word "Hardenbergia" is exact to "Serialkiller".
fartownik
DakeDekaane
Then it seems I was correct about possible roles if the night is going to be this dangerous. Serial Killer is also a possibility but, that could be one of us instead this Hardenbergia guy, I'm thinking this is more as a decoy to deviate our attention. On a side note, Harderbengia is an Australian plant.

Stop being too paranoid farto, you make me think you're the SK :\
fartownik
I'm not paranoid, I'm just solving a puzzle. What you think about it is your call.
fartownik
I have no idea if it directs to Royston or maybe to Vertify. Most likely just a play from mod.
DakeDekaane
I think so, or maybe Rantai, I doubt there's a new guy, but it's also possible.
an anagram? I doubt.
Harden - bergia...

inb4 bastard game
YunoFanatic
:D
fartownik
I seriously doubt it redirects to any of the current players. It's most likely a hint for a SerialKiller, as I mentioned before, though the mod probably lied as I mentioned I feel like there might be such possibility.

And yes, most likely a bastard game.

fartownik wrote:

I don't think I have it in me to host a game that's not at least somewhat bastard. (Excluding those newbie mafia style games I've done.)

However, I will not lie this game, as that's not this game's gimmick.

All hints are important.
pieguyn
Hardenbergia isn't even a real user, so either it's a fake name for someone or it means something special
it anagrams to "harbingered a". lol? maybe it's gonna end up screwing us over if we leave it there too long or even do something to it
pieguyn
btw sorry for inactivity, been getting a map ranked and working on other maps + trying to close out mystery mafia
once that game ends I should be a bit more active for then
fartownik
Okay, so if you're not lying and all the hints are important - we should probably lynch The 15 Person, unless you just said that so we do it without hesitation.
Tanzklaue
I get the distinct feeling that there isn't a 15th person.

just my guts though
fartownik
The only way to find out is to lynch it. If there's no 15th Person then the lynch won't happen and we lose only one day on finding it out, finally getting some info. But if the 15th Person is actually something dangerous, as the mod hints us, it might be just the right move.

Though it might also be a trap - let's say - everyone who was on the lynch wagon of "???" dies after it's dead. If we want to lynch it, let one person vote him and wait 24 hours without posting so the day ends automatically, or wait for the deadline with only one vote on him. This way the losses would be reduced to minimum.
rEdo
if there was supposed to be a 15th person, he/she should've posted in the topic while we were signing in (providing there's no premade setup there, that's a possibility though). in any case I still think we should wait until the situation progresses.

It can seriously be anything. LS might've asked someone privately to join an experimental game; it might be Vertify; it might be the mod himself; it might be a first lynched player that gets revived in another role; it might be another player that is playing 2 roles at once; it can be NOTHING as well.
fartownik
Also if it's someone then it most likely has some kind of post restriction.
Tanzklaue
I think this is a hoax.

also there is literally nothing that is absurdly bastard that can screw us over. I think the modtalk here is deriving our attention from the goal: finding scum.

overall the inactivity here kills us.

Mod: Prod everyone who can be prodded.

also, I am open for a policy lynch on either kook, yuno or royston. especially the first two will be more of a hindrance than actual help. they also both hinted retardidly at them knowing things.

I would mostly ignore the shenanigans set up by the mod. we should worry about actually doing something instead of speculations.

IMO traps are complete BS, I see you're watching out for one after what happened in lucid dreamers
knowing LS seems like something he'd put. I think it's worth having the 15th player out and just playing a normal game.
inb4it's some mechanic where we can't win if it's dead

guys, seriously, stop focusing on things that have no value to them.

we can't check on the 15th player without wasting precious time. so don't fucking do it.

if you continue I will give you scumcred.

so if all the hints are relevant

"No one found the hint"

that's exactly why I'm not into lynching that guy. I know it also might work the opposite way, but I'll highly stick to my proposition to leave 15th be. time will show what we have to do.
fartownik
If the mod says he doesn't lie, then I think it's true.

But - it doesn't mean he has good intentions. For example - "???" might be dangerous for us, but only when we lynch it. The mod doesn't lie, but lynching "???" is not in our favor in such scenario.

Though you're probably right. It might as well just a way to move the thread forward.

By egg is most likely refering to an easter egg, a hint to be careful at night, that was what farto found. Unless they have a deeper meaning.

We shouldn't risk lynching this new(?) guy, we'll find out what he is/does, in this night, everyone that is eager for lynch him is likely scum as they've found a somehow easy lynch, let's stick to the things we already know and find scum, then we can look for the meaning of this Hardenbergia, deadline is still far away, so we can make both things.

Why are you so intent on protecting this Hamburger guy? 'Anyone who is eager to lynch him is scum'. Really now!?
rEdo
the question is, why are you trying to prove that he's not something we should stay away from, even though we've stated why we should protect him? you just deny it without saying anything productive. also, you certainly got mad at that "anyone who is eager to lynch him is scum" sentence, as if trying to defend himself. clearly looks anti-town to me right now.

oh for the love of...

yes I did get mad at the "everyone who is eager to lynch him is scum" because it's basically an attempt to scum-paint anyone who would dare vote for this unknown person.

The only scenario I can see where someone town-aligned would say something like that is if they have additional knowledge of the Hamburglar in some way (i.e. to know that it would be helpful to town and thus scaring people off from voting it to keep it alive)

and I actually do agree that it's not wise to vote for Hamburger-man right now, as I've stated before it would only be preferable at this stage to vote it over randomly voting someone else.

But that's okay, because I'm not voting randomly

Let me reword that to: "anyone who is eager to lynch this Hardenbergia is potential scum".
Why? it's an easy scapegoat for them in D1 where there are a very few leads. And I'm not defending this Hardenbergia guy, we don't even know if it's real.

What if we lynch it and it's a bomb/vengeful thing? it's better to find it out later when we know at least what it could do if something really bad happens in N1 as LS warned us.
