I got curious as to why SirG might have turned up dead, given that he seemed to be thoroughly neutral on everyone's reads lists for the entirety of yesterday. I did a quick Ctrl-F for mentions of SirG through D1, and found that this confirmed my memories - the only dissenting opinion on SirG was tha...

I was watching this Numberphile video about Pascal's triangle, and learned yet more things about it. In particular, I really liked the section starting here . When she hadn't even started drawing the lines in yet I was starting to notice the pattern and was genuinely saying to my computer screen &qu...

↶ One negative - There are likely more than 2 killing powers out there. One positive - only one town dead over night. So either one or more kills were withheld, or were blocked. One is likely to be a Vig, as vig's are not likely to go guns blazing N1. Other could be conditional, or SK. Possibly eve...

That would be a great switch to have -- what's the first thing most people do after compiling? Run the executable they just made. Why not make it easier? The switch is called && ./a.out and must be appended at the end of the command line. :roll: Of course I know that -- but it's still much,...

I'm here and reading, I have nothing to claim from last night. Posting on a phone isn't great from a pulling sources/analysis post so I'll put something more comprehensive down in about an hour once I'm home. And no, bessie, no plans to do any major lurking today. Your more aggressive self is only f...

Vote: Znirk

I can't get past the Survivor claim. Something's up and I don't trust it. Tomorrow, I'll be looking at Sabrar, Madge, and GoP. Possibly subject to change based on night results.

Carlington

I realised that I only have one player left to read for pages 3-5, which is GoP (ahippo and JDF are both quiet/looking for a replacement so I'll leave them out). GoP seems quite aggressive in defending himself, and I worry that he's got OMGUS/tunneling going on against Sabrar. He is providing other ...

freezeblade has rl stuff going on too, but what's there seems okay and certainly no reasons for lynching. LaserGuy has some good stuff going on, good reads and a willingness to ask questions when he's not sure about something to do with setup or game mechanics. I like what I'm seeing from him. bessi...

Carlington

At my computer now, and well-fed. So, we'll start with page three and go forwards: Znirk seems to be backing his words with his actions. He's claiming to have aligned himself with town, and is giving us the information he has, which is a pro-town move. The more widely available information is, the b...

Getting there. Dinner first, then pages 3-5, (maybe 6 by then)

Still phone posting for now just to get something out there. Brain energy is now the limiting factor. Stream of consciousness series of posts with brief thoughts and scarce spell check to come immediately, followed by a round-up post. Pages 1 and 2 leave me feeling like Madge is town claiming miller...

↶ As I write this, I'm on the train with 2% battery. Hi all! I will comment more thoroughly this evening, but immediate guy is that Madge is actually miller, Znirk is actually indie. A newbie friendly game probably has like 8-4-1-1. 1% battery!, more soon. At work now, I hit submit as my phone died...

I don't want to derail but I also have questions: Is there a name for the thing French speakers do with the tense high vowel at the end of words in English? (I mean the vowel at the end of "happy", which is /i:/ in my dialect where happy-tensing is in full effect). It's a weird kind of...a...

Missed opportunity! Although I think by that point it would have hurt you more to push my lynch.

Carlington

I don't even care about the loss, that was fun! I wonder whether my "no scum left" lie would have held more water if I withheld the kill the night preceding. Still, that would leave me dealing with another Investigative role and it was too risky. bessie, I'm sorry you found this so frustra...

Carlington

Thank you for the addition of "fucklet" to my vocabulary.

Carlington

Carlington, did you investigate matt last night? If yes, please explain why you lied here: The rest of the players I have investigated, I don't believe they were confirmed town at that point in time. Oh, and what’s my wincon? As per the nightless nature of the game, I have been submitting my action...

Carlington

Screw it, I don't believe that there's scum anymore anyway so:
mpolo's claim was true, he was Accepted/Universal Backup. As at my result (N3) he hadn't chosen a power. He's aligned with Elaida Sedai.

Carlington

Busy weekend for me, this is my first chance to check. mpolo is Robecca Zariah. And, while we're at it, will the real Celestine Principia please stand up? So matt and dimochka, which of you is Celestine Principia? It must be one of you since except for N1, it seems like Carlington only investigates...

Carlington

I have results saying mpolo is town. So, what exactly do you mean by town? Carlington, why can’t I get a straight answer to this question? And what exactly were your results for mpolo (name, power, Ajah, wincon, alignment)? By "town" I mean "not Black Ajah", which is the way the...

Carlington

↶ I am starting to suspect that my power doesn't show me if someone is Black Ajah It doesn’t matter what color you get for your result if you get alignment. All the Black Ajah members have a cover color anyway. Reminder, you previously claimed this: Apparently, though, what I claimed may not have b...

I believe it would based on role PM flavour. I can't guarantee it, of course, but I believe it.

Carlington

If colour duplication indicating scum is the running theory, let the record show that I am actually Red, not Black masquerading. I have one result left to claim which is verifiable by the player (Ms. Itawa...may I call you Helena?) but I won't claim it until they say it's okay.

Carlington

I thought I explained enough for everyone to work out why mpolo. I'm preparing for the fact that the larger faction will win once scum is eradicated. mpolo is not co-aligned with me to my knowledge, so it's useful to know whether he's part of another faction so we have a sense of the relative powers...

I'm also red

EBWOP: We can even get multiple cop results, given my ability. I am willing to let the rest of you choose my target tonight.

Carlington

Erm, sorry. That was not what I wanted to do.

Looking at the numbers (and I apologise if we've been over this already, I think we might've): Now, it's eight alive, four to lynch. If we lynch Sabrar and he flips town, matt is scum with a double vote, which puts us after a scum NK at 6 alive, three to lynch which is unsub!scum + matt*2. If we lyn...

Carlington

If I might answer for bessie here - I think she said what she meant. You could have lied about your result, if you didn't actually cop Madge but used some other source of information (like say, knowing the scum team and using process of elimination) to accurately tell us Madge's alignment. It's much...

Carlington

Why would you check mpolo who was confirmed Town? Preparing for later, there's more complexity than town and scum here. A thought: I would assume that the town factions don't have a factional kill. Otherwise we would have seen more deaths. Ergo, once all the black Ajah are dead, whoever has the lar...

Carlington

I have results saying mpolo is town. Doctors appointment now, more soon

Carlington

FMPOV, that would make your decision on who to vote for pretty simple, yet you have not voted. Sure, that leaves me with the choice between a lurker with a fairly towny power whose utility to town increases with time and an active contributor who I'm not really reading as scummy. I'd rather not vot...

I don't think a bigger grid is any more complex. The relevant feature of the puzzle is how long blue can last before being trapped between two red pieces on the edge of the board. Once the blue piece is forced between two red pieces at the edge, it can be confined to one row and then blue only ...

Carlington

Look, I'm squinting real hard at why you're pressing for more info. Apparently, though, what I claimed may not have been what I meant. According to mafiawiki, normally rolecop just gets the role name, nothing else. Is that the case? Because I get the entire role as a result - name, power, Ajah, winc...

Carlington

I will say that I also found that post a little difficult to understand. It reads as though you left something out, or changed the format partway through writing it.
