LFoL 3 - Day 4 (1/17) - THE LYING DARKNESS AND THE POSSESSOR WIN

From looking into old setups I found that Cult had a convert cap of 4 compared to the Unseen cap of 3. The question is whether it would be the same here or not.

Due to conversion and cap mechanic, early game we should be hunting for exactly the converter role or anti-town neutrals. There is probably a Neutral Killer in a setup this size.

I dont really see the value in killing the bodyjumper guy if this just allows the Unseen to convert another person?

I think killing low-posters or players unlikely to self sort late-game is also fine. Late-game is when the crunch hits the cronch and we’ll need to urgently identify non-town so the more low-posters alive at that point the harder it will be?

cackles intentionally

I love the cackling.
Why am I Warlock and not Gerald? I know not.
(Yeah, fair. I’ll post more.)

I’m trying to compare the past to what I see currently and go from there but I know it is not exactly the most useful for being readable. I just hope it shall be useful as we go later into the game.

As for sorting those who are inactive and harder to read versus those who will hit it when it’s crunch time, I think I’m one of those who’s going to hit it when it’s needed. Even now I’m trying to work out who I trust and distrust.

I still want McBrains dead. If the vig isn’t used I’ll be voting there since the only confirmation we have is McBrains is not BD, we have nothing to back the slot up.

The informed minority can’t convert without limit, eventually outnumbering the uninformed majority if there’s no limit. Conversion also has cooldown for one night. Killing the converter is also good for us town.

The thing about McBrains is, I’m not particularly happy with their slot.

On the other hand, Helsing’s claim of a roleblock narrows down their ability to the point where it is rand favoring wolf. But then why else would they claim it? I suppose one could argue they are town, but I don’t know how convinced I am and I don’t have much other than a neutral thought on this slot.

I think the observation that a claimed roleblock is more likely wolf is a fair point. However, I think we take out the person we know is not BD versus the person whose roleblock claim makes them fairly suspicious.

I think we should certainly keep Helsing under scrutiny. I’ll say one thing though. The ironic thing is that if I remember correctly rules somewhere made it so only investigatives learn if they’re roleblocked? And if that’s the case then limits Helsing into being The Observer, The Princess or The Sheriff if BD.

And I’ll just make this simple, if Helsing is The Observer they probably should use Zoom In on someone and lightly confirm them without directly saying what they learned just in case the Headhunter claim decides to take a shot before being ousted.

If I had the power to dayvig McBrains I’d have done so myself a fair while back as the longer we wait, the likelier it is that McBrains will just kill someone and potentially harm our chances before dying themselves or getting lucky and winning before leaving I guess.

My good sir you are severely misinterpreting the statements made, I merely claimed under ironclad authority that I know for a fact McBrains was detained last night by debauchery

Wow I sure was proven right. It does seem like a trend that people are acting like they have never played mafia before, could we stop with that. And yes that does include people not reading other people’s posts.

One might say you are intentionally twisting them to your own benefit. Now I know you are a fine member of court so I will magnanimously allow you to correct yourself and no harm will be done.

I apologise, I am a bit newer to this format. I thought that based on what Warlock was saying, you were roleblocked. I forgot that you had stated that you knew of McBrains being roleblocked.

I’ve played mafia before myself somewhat but not too much. I’m trying to read up on older games so I can be a bit more informed, I do think that many people arguing similar things isn’t particularly helpful to the solve.

Yeah can we kill this. Also I am inclined to say Jackie is town. Yippee!

VOTE: McBrains

I’ve made my opinion clear that I want this slot dead because we know that McBrains isn’t BD but cannot corroborate the other claims made by the slot of just being a Headhunter who’s going after The Observer.

Until a shot is made which I think would be beneficial to happen sooner rather than later, I’m going to be voting here.

Good morning yall

Im currently sus of a couple slots that ill get more into once my brain wakes up in a couple hours

Gravedigger is one of em

That’s wonderful to hear. I don’t know why you’re suspicious of me, I know I have been focused quite a bit on the outed Non-BD but it’s the only real lead I have at the moment and wish we could go more into that. If McBrains is saying the truth we have an Observer who can check my most recent stuff in my class card as they desire, I do not mind and McBrains is still a fine kill. If McBrains isn’t then it’s just a good kill because then presumably McBrains is an anti town neutral or a main faction evil.

I would also welcome you to confirm me as Blue Dragon, Jackie. Since you should be capable of doing so as a good king.
