I should stop coming back to the PC anytime I have a stupid idea...
This is, actually, also becoming a real option. Instead of worrying ''Will micro flip TN? Will the TN turn against Townies, or us?'' We reshuffle the entire deck...
Lift will view micro & you as scum. GR... hell if I know... he's probably the TN and he couldn't care less whom he votes for... kinda explains his vote-hopping also.
I have actually started enjoying analysing the game from a ''What would scum do?'' Townie-perspective... whilst being scum... =] And seeing how you seem to actually have no problem whatsoever playing under pressure... next day should be fun, no matter whom we NK. :D (Probably won't. My paranoia will kick in again. :''D)

Reshuffle the deck / change the bop to supplementscene.
I trust you to come back. But on the off-chance you have an electricity-outage or something else -- I don't want to risk you having to deal with counterclaiming TN. ;(

Hmm. I don't think you're wrong, but I never had the expectation that Lift would turn around to "Joppo is Town and Scene is scum". I was thinking that I just needed to keep GR from drifting away from that theory. But I agree that dealing with accusations from a mostly-absent Micro will be much easier to endure than from a present and eagle-eyed Lift.
Okay, I can't say we won't change target until the Night is over but you have convinced me to leave Micro alive for D4. So
bop Lifthrasil into resignation instead.
With that said, I'm still considering the effects of us moving to Scene. Let me picture the scenario. ... ... ... Hmm. I'm starting to think it's not really a good idea after all. It's true that it would completely shake Lift's reads and and "reset" his evaluation of me... but it would shake everyone else's reads too. I don't want GR to suddenly start focusing on me, and without Scene around I don't see any better target for him. (And Micro is a wildcard like you said. He absolutely could join my wagon too)

I really REALLY REALLY need to learn to refresh before writing these posts.
(Actually this time I did refresh, but I didn't notice your last posts because they fell on the following page.)
I imagine Pooka reading this and thinking "Gee, can't you guys make up your mind already?" And I dread to think how ridiculous this will look for the other players post-game.
In our defense, being so many timezones apart makes it that much harder to be on the same page.

Getting Lift to consider "Joppo might not be scum after all" isn't worth the risk that I will be in GR's crosshairs. If it were guaranteed to bring me Lift's support then it would be worth it.
For me we should settle with your original idea and ditch Lift.

We go into the night with a Lift NK? What about memestar? Set it to _random_? I had half a mind to set to 2 grim reapers - but the Townies don't know that we set the avatars and setting to something like ''This is the end of the line'' could come off as cocky. :''D (The idea was - can't remember how I cooked it up - with GR coming out as TN, there would appear a joppo-atlo scumteam vs a scene-micro scumteam. One lynch would decide everything.)Btw, yeah, you posted like 15 minutes ago! xD

Yeah I guess all the other NK victims will end up being worse for us than Lift. I mean... I can't even consider NK'ing GR, you convinced me picking Micro over Lift was riskier, and choosing Scene could work but it could also backfire amazingly. So Lift it is.
About memestar... in the first Night I thought but forgot to say that maybe we should take our new avatars from something related to our NK victims or the lynchees. For example we could take planes after Yog's death referencing his simulator, or dogs referencing whoever it is that cares for a dog (and I don't even remember if that person is still in the game). But you and Pooka both get what I mean. The fact is that our characters would love to rub in Stuart's face that his team is being downsized and he is powerless to do anything unless he finds us. Maybe we can still use part of that idea. Planes are used already, unfortunately. What else is available?

No... let it be customer support service worker taking a call '' how may I help you'' and the other be some... plumber, electrician, technician coming to '' help''.

No... let it be customer support service worker taking a call '' how may I help you'' and the other be some... plumber, electrician, technician coming to '' help''. I spent a few minutes looking at all the victims' flavor and I'm afraid Pooka just doesn't have much to work with. For example what do you do with someone whose personality trait is just being loud and non-commital (that is Lift's character) ? It's just as hard as Catventurer's "the most productive environment". It's simply too abstract to turn into a character avatar. There was a bunch of unfortunate coincidences that led to all the good avatars still be in the game. If for example the russian and mexican chars were dead Pooka would have plenty of nationality stereotypes to pick from, but those players are Scene and GR. Micro's char has the dogs, yours has the kids that Amanda is babysitting. All would be good memestars if back when the game was set up they were assigned to the players that left the office already. But from the dead players I only saw something we could reference in that cross necklace in maxleod's character. There should be a second character referenced in the other memestar but I got nothing.

One last thing... Pooka: When I typed out: I should have added a smiley! :) It was meant as something as a joke... you didn't have to change the flavour because of it!! Nah, any edits I made to the flavor post were, hmm, to make them more flavory I suppose. The characters I wrote for this game are just too good to be used in one game of Forum Mafia. I could just write a comic about them if I knew how to draw. They'd be nice enough to make fun of the absurdities of the workplace and what is being demanded in pursuit of the mighty dollar. I digress, I need to write today's flavor...and since I'm kinda late, well, hmm. I might as well end it early Saturday and pretend that it's Friday? I dunno. Memestar-wise, I was thinking The Nun and something else to go with a horror theme, completely ignoring the fact that Miriam's more of a secretly slutty openly devout person than horror movie fan. Not sure about the rest. Well, maybe there's a horror movie based on cats... or we could just go The American Psycho.

I have entered the separation phase. GR will state how I am scum. You should do the same!
State how... despite GR being atlo's #1 suspect - atlo did not actually cast a vote on GR; much less call out GR's sudden, unexplained vote on scene. Saying GR could counterclaim does not make much sense - it implies atlo is willing to change back to either micro or scene. Dunno what else you could come up with. :S

Post by joppo on Jan 9, 2024 12:54:51 GMT
I guess I will need to turn on you soon then to signal that I am scum with GR.
GR might be voted out before me but there's also a fair chance that I will be the next lynch. Even if it happens you will be in a reasonably good position afterwards. You can't be the least trusted player in the final 3, and so far you are not.
In case I bite it we might have to figure out who to NK ahead of the time because I probably won't be able to discuss with you after my lynch. At first it seems impossible to choose anyone that is not the unlynchable Microfish, but OTOH it depends on how you'd perceived by the remaining 3 players. I suppose Scene would also be a confirmed townie if I die so maybe he'd be a better target depending on how much he trusts you. But it's still too early to settle anything.

Yes.
Microfish also not jumping on the "GR & joppo are mafia" train, but entertaining conspiracy theories is unexpected...

I am watching the game unfold from my phone.
GR cast a vote.
I'll check back every 20 minutes or so.
We could hammer.

Ooooh nice we might just do that. It's not really easy for me right now because my work pc has Gog blocked in the firewall, but I've been reading in my phone when I get a chance. I still hadn't seen his vote. I didn't dare type game posts in a phone as you certainly understand, but I guess I can prepare a vote and we prepare a quickhammer here.
Edit: Give me a few minutes. I wasn't logged in in my phone, and it's a bitch to get it to accept me in. Much easier in the computer.
Alternatively I will be able to set my phone as a wifi router for the pc in a half hour or so, when the people around me will have left for lunch. Then I will be able to avoid the firewall and type everything I need in the PC. But I will try to log in in the phone first.

Stupid phone browser won't let me in. Tried a dozen times, I even changed the config to receive the desktop version. I will have to do it in the pc like I said.
Get ready in roughly 3 minutes. I'll be stealthy enough here in the office.

Had that stupid phone browser let me in the game would be over now.
Still, GR said he's only waiting for a reply from Micro to vote again. It might happen in a bit. I only hope we're both online at the time. (It's not always easy like it was just now :-[ )

BTW, to anyone that might see this in the future and think I'm not posting in the thread to "lurk my way to victory", I'm actually busy at work right now. I do take a few seconds here and there to post in the scumchat where I do not need to spend time measuring my words to not be seen scummy; and I did take a couple minutes to quickhammer. But actually engaging with the game takes a much longer time than typing a "vote playerX" and pushing it out. @ atlo I will keep checking here whenever I can, it's not restricted by my workplace and easier to read than the cellphone. So if you see a new window of opportunity let me know.

I think the stress of trying to time the strike is not worth it. It's also doubtful he'll remove his vote a second time. I say we atleast wait until we both are home from work... God, how I hate typing on this thing...

So, I'm finally home and trying to salvage this mess of a day. Which won't be easy because today is my mother's anniversary and I will have to go meet my family and stay with them most of the night. You gave me quite the fright with your post #284 That almost gave me a heat attack. Like, "Atlo is admitting he is certain I'm Mafia. Soon they will realize he only has that much certainty because he is my partner."
You know what, there is so much content to sift through that I can't be sure my next game post will come anytime soon. Probably in the middle of the night (which for you will be almost sunrise). Sorry about that.

Well RL > forum mafia!! =) Sorry about the heart attack!!! Seriously wasn't my intention... :''D Yeah, scene has begun re-typing the entire flow of the game, ffs!! >_< Wanted to clarify this -- the smiley was meant for GR casting & re-casting his vote! =) Having an RL issue come up as a disadvantage is annoying, but it can't be changed. Forum Mafia is also a great deal of a luck-game.
