    I think it's really fucking convenient how Newcomb just swoops in and changes the plan to take a check on him out of the equation??? But I also think Newcomb is SO TOWN so like????????????

    But I think he suggested it because of fontisian:

    I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT A PRIEST CHECK, WHICH IS WHY I CRUMBED FANATIC LIKE A DUMB DONUT???? So the Priest could decide if they were comfortable giving me an extra life???

    Also I hate Kalas for being really vague and possibly agreeing with me being the Angel-Cop check:

    fuck u Koalas

    Like the only way the Angels would save Lucky despite Newcomb's post is if letting Lucky die and kill Tempus loses us the game. But? I haven't worked through any of the scenarios of how that could possibly be the case.

    Please, please, someone help me work through this, there could still be three Witches alive and I have to read a fucking book right now and will have to wait until toMorrow to get into things, but I'll be around panicking if anyone has any short questions?

    fake edit: prophylaxis i love you so much

    Like seriously, Newcomb? That shit is so opportunistic, switching my name for yours. I had absolutely no worries about getting checked guilty or being condemned by the Angels because I'm town, and instead of believing that Luckylee would die and you would be sort of cleared you just take yourself out of the plan and swap me in?? Even though you spent the entire game calling me town??????????

    Like fontisian, if you were GOING TO BET THE GAME ON NEWCOMB BEING TOWN, why the fuck did you decide you wanted a check on me? Please, tell me. I want to be educated.

    just
    augh
    i'm second-guessing EVERYTHING now

    Thanks.

    Does Atum have any other scum games other than WH4? I'm thinking of a theory and want to double check interactions and stuff.

    Okay. Here's my logic chain:

    Citrus is confirmed town because he died N1.

    Atum is confirmed scum, because he claimed Holy, got CCed, and the person who CCed him died in the night.

    Cobalt is confirmed town because Atum killed him.

    Jan is confirmed town because Cobalt told us Jan was the Town Gambler.

    Fluff is confirmed town because he CCed scum and got NKed.

    Snowvon is confirmed scum because we told Angels to save LuckyLee if and only if Snow was scum and Lucky was town, and for Angels to go off-script there would absolutely fuck us, so they absolutely didn't.

    LuckyLee is confirmed town, because see above.

    Citrus
    Jan
    Fluff
    Cobalt
    LuckyLee

    Atum
    Snowvon


    Dibs on not reading Snowvon for spew. (*cough*39292938 posts*cough*)

    So...

    We're looking for two potential partners.

    Priest, if you have a living N1 check, I would recommend you out. It would help a ton, even if you have a green check and not a red check. Your N2+ checks are subject to WIFOM since Atum died D2 and was scum.

    I would put money on Tempus being one of the two. His reaction to the plan, which ended in him being shot by Lucky...

    ... does not seem to come from a town mindset. Like, at all. In fact, I'd say it comes a lot more from the mindset of someone who knows Angels are going to interfere because the plan calls for them to save Lucky, confirm Tempus's partner Snow as scum, and deny the DoB shot on Tempus.

    The fourth is going to be tricky.

    Waco is clear unless the fake kill was used N2, and eh, not seeing it. Yeah Atum had died, but that seems like kind of a panic move? Waco has seemed so goddamn towny this game compared to last game, and that plus a declared attempt on his life, just... worlds where he's scum are too unlikely.

    I want to look at Moridin again, like I said as the day was ending yesterday, and since I'm alive I'll be doing so. There's a degree to which I think he's been coasting on the initial townread generated by his fight with Von... except now that we know Von is scum, yeah, not so much. Probably going to go read that fight again and see if I get any alarm bells, but, strong town here.

    Menace is on the table. I've been calling him scum all game, and his Oracle claim with a check on me makes a ton of sense and pushed him way up my list, but he could be a witch who's just telling the truth about his role and his check on me. On the other hand, Proph's townread of Menace did make sense to me, like... it was convincing. I've been tunneling on Menace because of his interaction with /me/ but to the rest of the game, he's been dogged and gamesolving, and Oracle with a check on me there makes sense, so eh, going in a circle. Will revisit.

    fonti is not mechanically clear, but she's basically behaviorally clear. She led a scum lynch D1 - I went back and read the post where she jumped on Atum and tore into his big post, and if she doesn't make that post, Atum doesn't get run up. Like, I had bad feelings about Atum's post, and would have listed him in my "would be okay lynching" bucket, but not to the degree of rallying the troops to straight-up kill him. There's being sneaky and clever, and there's sacrificing 25% of your team on D1 in a no-flip game, which is just... yeah.

    Lungs/Proph is very very tricky. Lungs had one - ONE - good post all game, I thought. I was so godamn null on him. Just never had a feel, except for that one post townreading Moridin. Proph's big reads post looked good, but did trip one alarm bell with me because of the kind of insubstantial feeling I got about his townread of me. Which, eh, he had just replaced in, was having to condense like 35 pages of material... I can see why it would feel hollow, from a town POV? Definitely not going to just straight up clear him, though.

    That's where I'm at.

    Oh fuck, the game is basically gonna end with my lynch. Unless Angels get a save toNight. And if they don't, we immediately lose to scum!Newcomb.

    THANKS, COVEN.

    Fonti as scum doesn't make sense in a world where Newcomb isn't her partner. Like, why give the town judge an extra life? That's about the worst person outside of the priest for scum to aim at in that particular scenario.

    ---------- Post automerged at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

    Wait, why is the game ending?

    So who is the actual DoB?

    If the witches used the fake kill on Lucky, that wouldn't stop Waco's actual shot (as the hunter). The only way Lucky survives is if the latter doesn't happen, which means Waco is scum, not town.

    Okay, you realised that. Nvm.

    because unless some really strategic self-killing happened, there are still THREE WITCHES ALIVE vs five villagers

    i die, 4 vs 3

    Angels have to save correctly, and if they don't, we lose to scum!Newcomb

    This is boring.

    Let's just lynch Von, then Tempus, then Proph and win the game.

    I think

    tomorrow night

    I'm going to skip nerf, go to an empty academic building, and use the whiteboard because I feel like I need to mind-map this game out.

    ---------- Post automerged at 00:23 ---------- Previous post was at 00:22 ----------

    oh

    I took myself out of the list (leaving eight players) and then carried on as though only eight were alive

    my bad
