WW35: Not Another TPS Report [Game Thread]

[Ichabod]

If TT knows you are the other SK because he failed to kill you, how did he know you were not the bulletproof villager? Or protected by the possible remaining village doctor, or mafia doctor, or mafia roleblocker?

It's a gambit, man. Read my previous posts. TT has to claim something sooner or later and the best way to do it is preemptively.

And you just have to trust me about being the SK...

Anyway, I think TT can only claim tracker. If he's the watcher, why would he be watching AdrienIer instead of Qgqq? There just no way to cut it. Now, if he claims the tracker, please, set up a test of his power, using another power role. Mafia boys, don't mess up this test: you also need to know that TT is the other SK -> you can't night kill him, so you need to lynch him! Let the village make the test and lynch TT, it'll help you too. Later you can resume the fighting against the village like normal.

Or, let me kill him tonight! Than, everyone is happy, I, village and Mafia! Good for everyone!

TT hasn't hunt a single moment during the whole game. He's playing purely for survival, in all the bad for village ways as posible. I know that, you know that. People, embrace again that old scum hunting feeling of yours. The one from the first games, when everything you had was a notepad tab opened in your PC and your own brains, tired after rereading 1000 pages of walls-of-text for the eight time, all the while with your wife pestering you to go to sleep and not waste time with such stupidities. The games where we used to make cross tables of 12 (!) days of votes, with complete analysis of every single player, only to reach the conclusion that we should lynch Gaspar and seeing him role village. THAT'S WHAT EVERYTHING WAS ALL ABOUT! THAT WAS LIFE RIGHT THERE! My friends, let go of the non-fun meta lynches that we have grown used to. That's not WW, that's not what you want and, deep down, you know you know it. Don't you want back the thrill of seeing the name popping in red purple when you know that it was only your scum hunting that made it possible? I bet you guys already forgot about that feeling. We live at a time where all we hunters do is wait for the next reveal and for the power roles results. We wait to see who of our trusted fellows die during the night, just so we can scratch another power role from a long and meaningless power role list. We are growing old and shallow, just going by with the motions, controlled by the GM's setup. You know, the GM, those MJWs and BRicks that watch you playing into their hands, doing exactly what they expected you to - we used to play open world WW, now we play WW with Quick Time Events and with a JRPG story. We are becoming the Civ 5 of WW.

People, it's time for you to revolt against this. Embrace the hunter within your heart, listen to him, you'll see he's saying that you should lynch TT today. You know he's guilty, your heart tells you this, just as your heart tells you that I'm an honest member of the village, despite my SK tag.

There will be no pleasure in my death, just an "oh, he was telling the truth. Yay, we got the SK", after what you'll just take a drink in your coffee and start waiting for the next guy who gets the short end of the claim stick. But if you decide to lynch TT today... Think about it, you can already feel it. Those good old days of our WW youth, where Zak still made naughty poems as a blood-loving bard to capture the hearts of the poor villagers; where fake drunk posts were still a valid strategy; where we mislynched MJW on day 1 every single game... By lynching TT, those days can perhaps come back, even if just for a brief moment.

I get it now. In a sense, I really am an Independent Faction in this game. I am a survivor. But not because I'm the SK. It's because I still have the will, the guts, to be an old fashioned hunter. And as twilight starts appearing in the distance and I suddenly realize that I'm on my last hunt, I'll leave my vote on TT, as an homage to those old days, as something to remember of what we were, but we are no more.

I know now that my time is coming... I'll leave to find my peace and I'll wait there for the inevitable. I'll wait for my death, trying to keep the honor I have left.

And as I'm leaving, I can't let go of the feeling that we are all dead already...

Nice post and speech, I agree I like hunting the old fashioned way, and that I have never been a fan of the mass reveal meta we have now.....

But I am still going to kill the self declared anti-town role today

You rang?

Everybody gets one

Dude, I'm still at that level...

[Jkaen]

Ok, so what happens next?

With Ichabod presumably gone we end up with:

2) Qgqqqqq
4) Meiz
5) Jabbz
6) Jowy
7) Azarius
10) Zakalwe
11) Molach
13) Jkaen
14) Twinkletoes89
17) Fenn

If there is still a SK alive he either sits on his shot the entire rest of the game, or shoots each night now, as he has no other role to hide behind, so lets assume he exists and comes out shooting, that gives us 2 dead, doctor withstanding I would assume scum kill Q, and the SK tries to kill a watcher/tracker.

If mafia have a roleblocker, would they try to stop the SK killing? I would guess no as they want high bodycounts still.

That means if one of Q and TT are still alive tomorrow then maybe well done doctor, if both are alive then there is a good chance one is non-town

[Meiz]

I wonder if Azarius should still claim today? If TT ends up dead and is town, scum-Azarius can make a better claim based on the info.

[Jowy]

This town sucks. No-one is playing anymore
Have fun tomorrow when I'm dead and can't help you win.

[Jkaen]

Jowy, no offence but why would you be dead?

Jowy, no offence but why would you be dead?

There's a reason why Azarius hasn't posted in ages. He's scared because he needs to fake claim a stronger role than Vanilla Cop. Rowain was going to go after him today, Rowain was killed by mafia last night. I'm gunning for him now, and I won't be here tomorrow when town starts playing again. Azarius is gonna lay low and come back with some crappy excuse after others have already claimed, so he can pick a safe role to fake claim. He might even be scared that we'll let Ichabod live and lynch him instead.
