Alright, that's enough for the moment, translated everything recent. I'll come back to this after lunch.
Alright, that's enough for the moment, translated everything recent. I'll come back to this after lunch.
Bear with me, this one's rougher:
SOFTS DP1 60 100 141 311 775
Trying to make this easier for everyone, so here are the posts directly.
Here's 60: We're going for the new gangbang world record.
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.
Here's 100 (they're responses to Mag1c):
I dont immediately hate the VTNL idea but lemme do the math rq
also not gonna hop on your wagon just yet
The VTNL plan is to VTNL for multiple days quickly so we can enable power roles then use them, not just VTNL DP1.
And what do you mean by "just yet"?
Mestari would be right I think if Kohai was a guild leader, or even me. But Luna and Wylted tend to not have wagons build on them DP1 so that lessens the impact a bit. Still I personally would have kept that card up my sleeve to hit them with in later DPs but its not the end of the world.
Post facto justification.
Also, do you remember who I was on DDO/DART?
I remember there being someone named magic, but they didn't make enough of an impression for me to remember more.
Here's 141 (response to Mag1c and Thoth):
I do kind of see Mestari's logic, but I don't think repeated VTNLs are worth denying ourselves the information from flips.
I explicitly believe that enabling power roles and having a night where both sides agree to use roles and not recruit is beneficial to the town. I have nothing more to say on the topic. I don't see how you don't get it.
@Magic, I hardly remember mharmon but the feeling the name gives me is good.
Here's 311 (response to Luna):
Okay well if you remember transformers mafia at all then you'll know to trust me.
And here's 775 (response to Pie):
Exactly. Why would we wanna tell scum exactly who has activated abilities. Makes zero sense
Because there's more value to activating as many abilities as possible than hiding who has them. As we recruit more it becomes near certainly that mafia is in both guilds. Trying to hide recruits from the mafia assumes we only ever recruit town and risks both guilds recruiting the same player, activating less roles.
Alright, lot to go through, I'm working on the translation. Post #379:
MIKAL IS BASTARD YOO JINHO NEVER HAD GOGGLES AND A RUNNING GAG WAS THAT HIS ARMOR DIDNT PROTECT HIM
(aside: agreed that he didn't have goggles and his armor was pretty much useless)
Yup, figured as much, don't have to target anyone just gives the result for the night, hence the lack of effect of a Ninja on your role.
Alright, that's good enough for me for one night. Thank you for going through all this effort, and yes, I saw your post calling Pie "daddy."
Cool, got it sorted. If a scum has Ninja active, would they show up on your results?
1X VTL for yes
2X VTL for no
Alright, I see now. You get a total number of people who attempt to visit anyone at all over the course of a given NP.
1X VTL for yes
2X VTL for no
Must've missed something, just a sec.
Alright, so if I'm reading your post correctly, you get a number of people who visit your target. Is that correct, or is it the number of people who visit you?
1X VTL for the first
2X VTL for the second
3X VTL for neither
Alright, so you're a movement investigative role that isn't a Follower, Watcher or Voyeur. Does your role only work if you are targeted? One VTL for yes, two for no.
Alright, we're going to figure this out. Then we'll definitely find out if Timmy's in the well again.
So you have a Watcher and something else?
One VTL if I have that right. More if not.
Hmmmm...
Watcher: 1X VTL
Voyeur: 2X VTL
Follower: 3X VTL
None of the above: More VTLs
Damn, that's a lot of investigatives in this game. Scum must have a good amount of manipulation available with this many. Hmmm...
Alignment: 1X VTL
Movement: 2X VTL
Other: 3X VTL
Alright, continuing:
Protective role: 1X VTL
Investigative: 2X VTL
Manipulative: 3X VTL
Killing: 4X VTL
Passive: 5X VTL
None of the above: More VTLs
OK, so not in a Guild then. So then let's start to work out your claim:
If you're a character from the show, say VTL twice
If you're yourself, say VTL once
Say VTL twice if you're in a Guild.
Yup. Didn't expect Mikal to let you post all the VTLs you wanted, but it did make things apparent faster.
Say VTL twice if you are Silenced.
Yep, not doing that tonight
Ummm... this certainly is... something.
I honestly have no idea what I can say. My justification is ass, but honestly you should have plenty of experience of bad justifications yourself so what are you on about?
Can you provide a justification? Because I didn’t read one that related at all to your being a Lightning Rod. It’s not that it’s ass, it’s non-existent. And please, point to any of the people who have claimed themselves as characters and explain how your justification is at all comparable to theirs.
I'm just on my break right now and don't have time to read through 47 pages just yet, can I have the TLDR for why everyone is sus of Shining in particular?
His claim is pretty nakedly awful. Setting aside that a 1X Lightning Rod makes little to no sense (it’s not a strong PR so it shouldn’t be limited use) and that it’s only activated upon recruitment, the justification is virtually non-existent as well, which is unusual given the self-character claims we’ve seen so far that have all at least had a modicum of justification.
Apart from that, it took him way too long to develop an opinion on Thoth during DP1, a task that should have been pretty easy by the point he started posting reads.
tbf I don’t think we needed to careen off a cliff, we coulda just went to shining who everyone said they scum read instead but o well what’s done is done
I think it was only a question of when, not if, Helz would be lynched after everything that went down last DP. I’m fine with the argument that Shining was obviously scummy, but I could see plenty of reasons to sus Helz.
maybe Vader protected the kill
Could be, especially since he’s the only one we know beyond the Guild leads that could protect against an NK.
Well, I don’t regret lynching Helz even after all that. Guess Mikal made up the goggles for the purpose of this game and that Helz was keeping the very basic protective role secret for… no conceivable reason beyond frustration.
And it looks like no one was killed during the NP. That’s interesting.
Shining’s almost certainly the lynch this DP, but I’m not rushing to the obvious.
Welp, just in case that's not enough:
VTL Helz
