STORM'S LIST OF BADASS F*CKITUDE
- Numbers-kind of laying low in my opinion
Probably a true enough statement. Seanzie's last big night post left a rather foul taste in my mouth so I decided it was better to step away from the thread than to spew that nastiness in here.
As for your role, do you mind if I dig into verbal semantics with how it is written? Does it say all abilities will be tripled with new targets being selectable? Does it say the strength of abilities will be tripled? Or does it say all players will.get triple actions including factions? I feel like if town is planning to off the pinata strategically it's best to know the specifics for such planning. On a personal level the specifics could be pertinent to the cop shot as well, so a little bias maybe.
I am more prone to reading Numbers as town because why not? How Numbers reacts to me after will help calibrate my read of him as I've had a series of instances with him that have left me in the dust when Numbers has been mafia and sused me (although I guess one of them was 3p over on Wintreath, but still).
How I react to you after this? Honestly there's still not much to read you on here. The activity dip is NAI, especially with your champs game starting yesterday. The only other thing so far is the plan you enacted yestergameday that you haven't revisted yet so that's probably a priority before setting a read down.
This is a role madness game. And on top of that we can even buy extra roles. Acting like it's the end of the world to use a cop shot on the host who you were pushing to lynch without knowing the consequences when there are plenty of other investigative roles is so dramatic. Almost makes me think it's a play to try to look townie.
I really don't see it as a play to look townie. In my experience with players like Seanzie it's usually more ego driven, to put it as nicely as possible. I'm going to consider the post itself NAI and read him on his stance in general. For a player who, last game, made a point to KoD that nuance is more important than just looking at things black and white he sure is looking at this situation in very black and white terms. Frankly that's not a very good look for him.
I can’t understand why any townie would want him lynched this phase.
Its simply to control the flow. Storm is a ticking time bomb. As others have said, it benefits Mafia more to have him flip late in the game when town is less powerful. Further town can do nothing to stop the flow. Even targeting storm at night to either protect or watch just brings on the impending flip. Its not a "this is a good thing for town", it's a "this is the best of a bad situation". But even if that's the route we choose today we don't have to consider it a wasted phase, we can take as much time discussing everything and anything else before we take action.
@15337, if you couldn't target Ex, who would you target with the cop shot?
Probably you or PK. I'm weary of your preoccupation with lynching Ex. PK because of the reasons I've previously stated about their slot.
