This is off-topic - has anyone here tried Fortnite? Does anyone feel like trying it? It's quite a lot of fun, even more so when playing as a duo or a 4-person squad.

I have contemplated getting the single player version of it, but I think you are referring to the Battle Royale version that is free? If so I would be willing to give it a shot this coming weekend (I've watched a lot of people playing it on Twitch and it looks like fun)

Part I

so is your answer. redundant. I already conceded that I could have left it out. *-corrected the italic part in post #234 an hour before your answer-*

well here it is:
that is you calling me lamist for pointing out I'm town. that's how I understood it at least. You actually meant something else by it?

see above. had already conceded. why do you keep on driving the same point?

yes you are mistaken. I'm trying to clear up what I meant with what I said and answering questions and asking when I'm unsure how you meant what you said.

fair enough, still don't get how it applies here. really don't, even if others seem to do. Care to elaborate?

-----

no.
Seems like a trick question. hmm, let me think: yes, after a flip. and after being converted (though then you're not town anymore). else no. no cop or anything. open setup. we all read it.

ok. But do tell me what do you do as town? not act strange (unless you always do), but don't be yourself either? Because that's what I'm doing. Being myself. Guess I need a few more games before my meta gets known :/

Care to point?

then what is?

-----

Why? there's no power roles per se. And the question isn't about strategies of scum or masons or vanilla. Just if you think self preservation against being lynched kicks in as hard when you are a town PR as when you are scum or as you infered before always harder when you are scum.

it was the first time someone called someone else scum seriously (as in he said serious vote, as in the opposite of jokingly - which explains my reactions)

we all do - for everything. it's the all seeing eye, man.

So no answer to my previous question??

Too bloodthirsty for me, guess I’m a peacenik after all.

@hsl sorry to step on your play style but could you be more verbose about what you’d want to point out in games #25 and #30? I’ve gone through #30 but I’m still confused regarding the point you were trying to make.

@trent What do you think about mchack?

As of now I am a bit wary of adalia & dedo (seems like they’re reaching while arguing against mchack, adalia’s remark about kryspyn’s haphazard voting as consistent but I ain’t an expert so I’ll defer to better judgement), sage & Leonard (seems like they’re trying to fly under the radar) and kryspyn (haphazard voting and kryptic posting)
Grouped players by reasons and not by scum teams or some such.

What are your own thoughts about them?

I know I'm a sensible lynch at this juncture.

how so? Do explain in more depth, please.

Unvote mchack

Vote flubbucket

I'm going to read between the lines here... I know you're a lot cleverer then you pretend to be, so maybe you've worked out some of the things about this game that I have too and can what has to happen day 1.

Seriously, does no one actually remember playing with Krypsyn?

Let's just say I have a reasonable idea of why he may want to do what he is doing. It's not quite indicative of alignment, but it's enough for me to leave him alone today.

@mchack
I appreciate the detailed defence, but just because I've unvoted you don't think it means I believe it. It smacks of scum trent from the last game I played (whichever one that was.. I can't really remember now).
I just happen to think flub might have a point.

I did mean something else. I made a reference to Meatloaf :) That particular comment meant practically nothing in the context of the game.

Not that I explicitly want to, but you keep shifting the conversation towards me bashing you for saying you were Town rather than the omgus thing. That's it.

They may not have an active power but they do have a power which is important to have and to keep in secret for as much as possible. I don't know about the strategies adalia is referring to, even though I do have some ideas, but either way, unless it's necessary I don't think it's a good idea to discuss them since somethinig or everything might come out in the process. Since you insist on clearing that up let's take a look at a hypothetical situation (this is just an illustration - any part of it may or may not be as in the example):

HSL: "What if he has a PR?"
Dedo: "Does he? I don't think he does."
HSL: "He does."
Dedo: "How can you tell?"
HSL: "We're hackers".
...
D2:
HSL and mchack have been killed.

or

HSL: "What if he has a PR?"
Dedo: "Does he?"
HSL: "He might."
flub/Leonard/whoever: "No, he doesn't! BS!!"
...
D2:
flub/Leonard/whoever have been killed.

Mostly such concerns.

As a prime option? Or as a fallback?


Cool, let's try it. I'll reach out to you during the weekend. @Everyone else who might be interested - let me know.

ok, I'm feeling not very clever (again) but I really can't work out what "has to happen day 1" and how a suicide plays into that. I see that you aren't willing to talk about it, since you presumably don't want to help scum, but I'm still thinking it isn't something I can just forgoe and either vote against the suicidal or not without talking about it.
So barring any explanations from flub himself, here's the options I see:

flub is vanilla town - I don't have the slightest clue why he'd want to be lynched then. Chance of hitting scum today isn't so bad and as town, you at least know you're not the right target to hit scum. You don't do scum's work for them!
flub is mason - see above, but with a lot more exclamation points!
flub is scum (and really wants to be lynched) - well that's like the most townie thing I can imagine but just giving up like that is also not very nice to his scumbuddy or the mod or the rest of the players that want to have fun (as I remember flub says he plays for the fun) + in that case he could just right out claim scum and be done with it.
flub is scum (and doesn't really want to be lynched) - hmm, bold play. he did it last game, too, I remember. town then but wasn't lynched but converted that night and lynched the next day because he was investigated. no investigator in this game though. Might be he thinks he'll not get lynched this game for it either and tries to buy a free pass with it? pretty risky for that as seen by adalias vote.

argh, now my head hurts as I think about more options like scum (or mason) trying to be converted by another scum team. But why in the world would they try and convert a suicidal player? I simply don't get it.

anyway you get my vote for it until you explain, because I don't see any real town reason for asking to be lynched. (unless being "liddually" suicidal scum - but then at least come out and say it)

unvote
vote flubbucket

Yup.
I may well need to cover it eventually, but I'd rather not if I don't have to.

It may only make sense to me, so many things seem to, but the way this game is set up there are some very specific outcomes of how things should happen.

Of course WIFOM does throw a whole other layer on top of everything and means some of what I'm thinking may be off, but I think the basic premise is solid enough to work from without worrying about that.
