NotW LVII - Tempus Fugit (game thread)

[Takhisis]

btw I can certify that you're right about me not being scum, pizza-sama.

 

[Newyn]

Fair enough. vote: Autolycus, let's see what this gets us then.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

In fact, the tone of that post (takhisis #291) strikes me as wolf-y even for Takhisis.

Vote: Takhisis

Yeah, my attention was elsewhere but now that I'm looking at it, it's sinking in.

I could easily switch to Takhisis. That wording feels very wrong.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

This is interesting, I was informed that I was roleblocked last night (in so many words).

It was a time portal, and I was pushed through it. I arrived here in the morning and it spoiled whatever plans I had for the evening.

But that's fine because my action happened during the day anyway.

Sorry not sorry. Scumbags are losers.

 

[Takhisis]

Oh, you appear to be third on the bandwaggon, Mr. Newyn.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

So thanks for all but guaranteeing exactly what I said would happen this game, which is that I will be town read and therefore must be the murder.

Now there's a trackable and very likely scum action out there, being the roleblock that people are actually informed about (yikes to the scumbag team) which will have happened to me, and then to others later on.

And further, my action is also trackable and STILL HAPPENED. Blast it all, amirite?

My my my my bad news all around there whats-your-faces. I can't be bothered to learn your names but it starts with a V. Always getting murdered this game now. Much appreciated. Hope you got scanned.

 

[Arakhor]

On that note, all PMs dealing with last night should now have been returned.

 

[Takhisis]

What if the time-travelling affected the results of your targetters' actions, e.g. watchers?

 

[Cuthillius]

How likely is there to be a vig in this sort of setup?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

What if the time-travelling affected the results of your targetters' actions, e.g. watchers?

This much I don't know about.

I would expect it can be possible that scan data is unreliable, and given that Visor had a hand in designing the game I'd suspect that they could be interfered with in some fashion.

Not to say they're entirely useless but I'd expect you couldn't reliably catch the scum team 1-2-3-4 or whatever even if you guessed right.

Since the action affected me in a time-related manner, with the specific known effect of a roleblock, I'd guess that's what it did, but there may be other additional effects simply because we know this game has unusual powers and effects.

Mine is certainly atypical for a mafia game.

 

[Newyn]

Oh, you appear to be third on the bandwaggon, Mr. Newyn.

Third on wagon is always scum right?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

How likely is there to be a vig in this sort of setup?

Improbable but very possible.

 

[Takhisis]

But this isn't mafia… anyway, I know for certain that people's results can be delayed. Strangely enough, Arakhor doesn't want to send me my Night 3 results yet.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

unvote Autolycus

Vote Takhisis

I like those two both getting pressure. Barring Takh persuading me otherwise, what Zack pointed out seems solid.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Now that is.... something else.

My weird role is nothing close to what you're implying.

 

[Takhisis]

@post #332: I'd say some sort of limited/combo vig could be very possible.

 

[Newyn]

Improbable but very possible.

Considering everyone has some sort of ability, I'd say it's not that improbable.

 

[Cuthillius]

ATPG was the target of a NK last night.

 

[Takhisis]

Oh, and, as a matter of principle, askthepizzaguy shouldn't vote for me. I'm the only proven townie I know.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Good lord I thought I was talking to Lohrenswald.

And I really shouldn't have because you did the -sama thing.
