I do kind of see Mestari's logic, but I don't think repeated VTNLs are worth denying ourselves the information from flips.

Thoth
Can't believe we're turbolynching Mes for an excess of personality

It's more about the kind of personality than the degree of it

Thoth

By the way, if you complain to me about anything I say for the rest of this day phase, I'm going to tell you that your post is too long and I'm not reading it

Thoth
@Luna your post is too long and I'm not reading it.

VTL Mestari for this and generally being a dismissive prick

Thoth
We're on odds, but there's no NK tonight.

Good point, I forgot. My point stands that there are way too many unknowns to hazard a guess at how the kill math would play out, probably even if we knew every role in the game.

Thoth
I dont immediately hate the VTNL idea but lemme do the math rq

No math required. First off, we are on odds, so there's basically no reason to VTNL. Secondly, with this many roles, we have no way of knowing how the kill math could play out, e.g., there could be extra NKs, dayvigs, a lot of protection, etc. So I think we say fuck the unknown quantities and lynch for maximum information.

Thoth

Not town-confirming the leaders makes an interesting mindgame where townies could fake-claim to bait kills from the real guild leaders and the guild leaders would have to decide whether it's kill-baiting or scum trying to pocket town. I can see now why Mikal didn't officially confirm them.

Thoth

I'm not strictly opposed to lynching Mestari, but I'm not comfortable with how close we are to a turbolynch when we still have this much day left. It seems like the perfect storm for yet another accidental / "accidental" hammer. By the way, did Mikal say how long this day phase is?

KEEP DOWN THE NOISE - Barney Vincelette

Barney Vincelette, who says his autism renders loud noises sickening to him, has been feuding for several years with neighbors in Houston, Del., over their rock music. At first, he invented his own sound-jammer, according to an April profile in the Wilmington News Journal, but a judge curtailed its use. Subsequently, he recorded super-annoying sounds of his own (including a foghorn) and had them written out as music (“Sonata for Calliope of Truck Horns About to Be Transcribed for Locomotive Horns Opus No. 1”), at which point the judge decided that permitting the neighbors’ Bon Jovi but not Vincelette’s sonata amounted to selective law enforcement, and the feuders settled their differences. (Vincelette, by the way, lives in a house shaped like a flying saucer.)
Thoth
Btw, I'm not going to claim. Mostly because I don't feel like it. It's kinda like when the homeowners association president told me I couldn't play loud music after 10pm so I started blasting white noise on the boom box outside their house.

Look up a guy named Barney Vincelette and his Protest Sonata for Calliope of Diesel Truck Horns

Thoth

I take it the guild leaders are not officially town-confirmed and are expected to self-confirm whenever they want by not being counter-claimed?

Thoth
it seemed entirely unnecessary for some one to take more than 24 hours for a night action.

I feel like someone on this site has told me that before

"Lynching"

Thoth · 6 months ago

I don’t think a ban should be enforced, just that people should voluntarily quit saying lynch.

Thoth

I’ve played 30-plus-player games on Discord. I would like those here, but they would take too long, especially since we usually have 4-day DP/NP cycles versus 24-hour there. We would need to multitable, shorten phases, or add more kills to keep games from dragging forever. How did they keep big games tolerably short in the heyday of DDO?

Thoth

How long has it been since we had a game this big? I take it we would need to to back to DART or DDO. I hope this is the start of a trend.

We. Didnt think town was retarded enough to not just VTNL at MYLO unless it looked like there was obvious scum.

Well that's a fair point

That’s risky cause it forces a 1v1 where there’s no guarantee of a win. He only pulled the bus cause Me and Alyssa were dead lol.

Any mislynch on day 2 would have won the game immediately.

I did consider the possibility, but I couldn't see any scenario where you would bus wylted on day 2 rather than fake-claim Tracker results to win the game immediately. What gives?

I do question why Mag1c would include an every-night Redirector when its ability to throw off the Cop overlaps with the Lawyer, but I think it's plausible.
