It's good to try and being proactive but choosing Apex would be like choosing the easy way out. This is a new game and we should forget what happened last time. I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt because I'm not okay with lynching whoever is most/least useful. I'd rather lynch an actual bad guy.

what makes you think that. seriously, you think that didn't even cross my mind?

my main point wasn't that he has a useless ability (that was his summary of it), it was that it's attached to someone who apparently has no idea how to use it and doesn't care and I left it an open ended question as to whether or not anyone saw any utility in either the player or his ability. I don't see him actually helping us in terms of discussions so why not take the 1/3 chance. it's a viable question that generated discussion, your own confidence in your foresight doesn't mean it was unnecessary. maybe I'm jumping the gun but the town did fucking nothing in terms of lynching in the last game (and in various other ways) and I'm not letting it happen again.


And it's for those same reasons that I'm not trying to paint you as a criminal right now. Sure your statements made you seem suspicious in one light but I understand how you justify them. As of right now I don't really have any reason to doubt your intentions. If you feel a power is in the wrong hands this game all you have to do is coordinate that with me in pm's and if I like your reasoning I'll consider swapping with whomever. I can't really think of any other way to use my ability without any of you thinking I was up to no good lol.

I mostly agree with this, lynching members who are least helpful/aren't active almost always backfires against us. That doesn't change the fact that Apex's way of playing is just frustrating and he makes it hard lol
I also agree with the idea that minimal discussion of what we do with our night abilities should be done here. We don't have a confirmed Avenger, so it's more important than ever that each of us be able to act alone with our abilities, even if that means potentially interrupting each others actions if necessary. Discussion should be done about the potential possibilities of each action everyone can do. Of course bluffing is a thing, and if anyone's confident enough to pull that off, that's good too.

Feel free to disagree though. _Ai_, you seem to be supportive of facilitating discussion, do you have any objections?

Ah, I forgot to elaborate my thoughts on bluffing.

Right the thing about is, when you bluff you're going to be questioned about it in public for sure, AND it'll make you a lot more suspicious.

It's a risk that should be very calculated and the pros have to outweigh the cons.

I probably should've emphasized this in my previous post, but it'll become significantly harder to bluff if we discourage discussion. I don't think bluffing is too risky (at least as you make out to be), and it's probably one of the better things we've got going for us that can reveal a mafia member.

It's sort of a trade-off in that aspect. We can discourage discussion but make bluffing harder, or we can encourage discussion and make bluffing easier but run the risk of letting the mafia know what we're doing.

Discussion is far more important IMO.

Jeez, I'm gone less than 24 hours and you guys are already looking to prod me. I still have school, yknow.

As for the discussion, Ihave to agree with Arch. Its literally the first day and we're already jumping on apex. Your reasoning is fflimsy imo because you're basing it completely off of last game (even though he'sbeing a bit aannoying now), something Arch advised not to do. I can see some of your reasoning but it still sounds like something a doombot/ultron would do because Apex is a prime target.

I agree that right now we shouldn't lynch, but if we had to Exile is making me rather suspicious.

Also, in terms of discussion, if we ccan't openly strategize for night then I'm not sure what else we can do this day save for wait on Cami's explanation for what Mantha said. I also wonder why Xate rreally pushed for me to post when it hadn't even been 24 hours since my last contribution.

If you're responding to me I didn't mention the previous game once in my initial post against Apex and only commented on it after he responded without even trying to defend himself. That's a huge leap away from "you're basing it completely off of last game", did you even read my post before jumping to the assumption that I'm acting suspiciously?

You're initial vote post. "He hasn't contributed much to the discussion" and its only been a day. I havent contributed too much either. Hes probably annoyed that we immediately jumped on him again and hes on the verge of throwing in the towel (Dont do that by the way Apex). It sounds like you're out to get him just because of his passive role and because you think he won't be of any use again. I get that his posts have been short but to be honest we haven't talked about too much except the decision whether or not to random lynch

I'm being asked this by alot of people so I'll just post it here: If 2 people die for the first time, Hawkeye has the choice of who to take BUT this choice will be made in the day when the deaths have already been announced so he does not gain any bias for having known this information ahead of time.


Also would like to announce that I'm going on a vacation for awhile but I'll be back on the 30th. I do not know if I am capable of updating the game and normally I'd leave it to a proxy, but its Christmas/End of the Year so if I go dark for the 2 days when the Day ends or if the Day ends before that, then just don't worry about it. I'll pick it up next year the soonest.

I didn't see your post. Sorry.

Personally I'd like to know why Camilla was just so willing to declare that she'd give her armor to the Scarlet Witch like that? Was it a mistake or are you playing for the other team?



sorry i just had time to catch up. Darn you guys post a lot.

I just agreed with Error because it's truly the best thing we can do. Yeah he said it out loud.... but even like that is kind of a good plan and taking in consideration the other options it kind of convinced me. As for the lynch I don't want to jump on anyone just yet, like mantha mentioned it can backfire badly.

FYI I'm going to be inactive for likely a majority of tomorrow. I have to take a round trip flight in one day to a different state and won't have access to a computer with wifi for pretty much the entire day. So don't lynch me pls if I look inactive.

I'm going to try and get on but I can't make any promises.

#unvote Smile
#vote Ai


While I get not being keen on a D1 lynch seems to be all the rage here I find the level at which Ai opposed it seemed to be odd, or at the very least why was it only an issue after Exiles vote and not after mine or Smiles? I cast a random vote any nobody bats an eye, but when Exile casts an almost equally random vote for Apex suddenly the odds are to bad, yada yada yada.
I also don't get the whole making Apex the town head, this just felt like a ploy to make Apex sound more useful.

@Jell: B-but... Unverifiable... Then... No proof... Ah, phooey. But your role makes you invulnerable to almost all nigh actions, though. But well, time will tell.
