Rule number 3 reads as follows: Encrypting messages in order to circumvent the PM ban is not allowed, but you may stray breadcrumbs available to anyone via text content. You are not allowed to obfuscate any text through formatting like spoilers (unless they simply quote another player's post), timers, tiny font size, hardly readable colour etc.

shock broke the rules. Modkill inc.

Thats only if shock was hiding something by doing that. Which is not the case, it was just shitpost/humour.

Your brain isn't galaxy enough to see the obvious breadcrumbs that Shock's master intelligence has laid out in front of you.

www3 trying to protect shock from mod kill. New read:

scum (w+): www3 and shock

shockcannon going for the derpclear of the century. somehow he managed to outdo himself this time with half the posts. Whatever the truth may be I think the only role you might be worthy of being targeted by is friendly neighbor.
I'm willing to go offmeta if it allows me to beat metadecks and potentially reshape the meta. Do note though that all strategies that have a reasonable chance of beating the meta will become part of the new meta once success is witnessed. and everything else is trash unless a metachange somehow makes it viable. what you are doing is playing singularity without checking whether any of chimera, antimatter, aflatoxin or mutation are even in your deck, let alone hand.

[kaempfer13]

also the friendly neighbor strategy shock is suggesting works with literally anyone and i somewhat doubt its worth it even under normal circumstances (just plain have whoever friendly neighbor talked to give a list of names the neighbor is among and let the officer identify them, but waste tons of actions and how exactly does the officer even contact the friendly neighbor without revealing?). i assume shocks galaxy brain stuff isnt worth our time, so if you have nothing better to do I will explain my gunsmith strategy in more detail:

since roughly half the roles are unarmed it should cut the community into 2 clean halves. yes, mafia will probably lie here in part, but it doubles the chances of gunsmith finding a suitable target (since armed civilians are wasted time for gunsmith). If its true its an instant confirmed villager for the gunsmith, if its a false claim and town doesnt have complete morons we got a confirmed scum (rather than gunsmith having to distinguish for powerrole vs scum). additionally splitting the community into 2 parts makes it easier to find a townmotivated consensus if we only target 1 half of it at first. It's major drawback of course is that all of gunsmith, officer and graverobber are in the armed half, meaning that both we and mafia are more likely to kill our most important roles.

Prove the gunsmith exists and is town.

if i could you should lynch me

[TheonlyrealBeef]

I personally kind of like the way weapon claims have been going so far. If you get 1, max 2 claims per night, you can actually confirm town or find mafia at maximum speed. Having more claims, is more than town could possibly process and helps mafia with additional info. Furthermore, the risk of making a false claim is much higher.

[TheonlyrealBeef]

No-weapon claims, that is. Weapon claims do not confirm anything.

[kaempfer13]

yh, thats a fair point, at this point there is not enough motivation for mafia to join in as they have little knowledge how many gunsmiths we have. (and if they do they are at serious risk of being caught)

[InsignificantWeeaboo]

My town reads so far are kae, TorB, ian, Sub, and MW.

On the fence about shock and w3.

Slight mafia read on dawn.

Will sort the rest into whoever another time.

First off, there is no exception to what is hidden. If I accept such an obvious rule break, I could just scrap that rule and Link the anti-flaming/trolling rule from the General mafia rules. He was also purposely breaking the rules to provocate an out-of-game reaction. Last, I have my reasons to know this is not meant as just a joke, unfortunately. There is more to it but I will leave it at that.

I am sorry for kind-of disrupting this game by this, I feel like there is no right decision for this case. This is a game about lying, deceiving and incriminating. Go with it all you want while within the borders of the game and the rules. Have fun and don't try to ruin it for others. Thank you.


shockcannon was modkilled. His roles will be revealed upon the end of this Night phase. As a reminder: Every player may change their ability use/target until the night ends.
