1) Coffee has the same word as me.
2) Serprex caught it too so he probably has the same word as me.
3) I’m unsure of Serprex’s logic in others aside from coffee, especially myself. I was quite this game where as in other forum games I’ve played in the past I’ve been very active and overly talkitive. And in mafia I was always civilian with that play style.
4) I was suspicious of ddevans from round 1 but didn’t want to say anything to give time to really mark him as shock and to see if his partner would say a word very close to his. Plus ddevans is being very active and when he flips shock it’s give us more information to deduce his partner from. Now he’s getting too much attention so the shocks would be afraid to play into our hands if he is a shock.

So serp, who has a different word than I do, doesn't think dd's word relates to his half. I don't have serp's word and I cannot relate dd's words to my half either. I think you guys are on the right track, keep going.~

So, it's fine that we are avoiding the Shocks to find out our word, but at least allow the people with the same word to identify you. I can no longer identify more than 2 people who got the same word as I did. >_>

Best case scenario: My word team has only 4 members, and the 4th member who I couldn't identify can identify us three.

So, we are claiming groups now?

Scriba and you [serprex] i believe to be noobs. Dunno about Coffee, his words dont really fit.

That's convenient for me. Based on words alone I see Coffee in my group. But not serp and Crockett but I can't be sure about Scibra.

moe may be on dd's group. Either shocks are trying to imitate moe, or moe is a shock & all shocks are imitating each other in order to look like they're a word group. That's why I've been trying to get enough confirmations to authenticate (unfortunately none of the noobs I've vouched for have reciprocated, so currently my best mode of authentication is being devoured)

In the end I don't really care who goes so long as they aren't on my noob list. This game isn't about finding shocks, it's about 3 90% confirmations being a 73% winrate if we can reach a consensus to not lynch that set. There's no NK to pick off confirmed noobs

I don't think I am.

Guessing the compound word is the way to lose this game and shocks get two guesses. Simply surviving is not enough.


Also, serp's second word is of no substancec whatsoever.

I am down with sacrificing dd. Fourth position alone and his word in relation to the three words before him make a convincing argument. Not gonna vote but I'll keep serp's vote on him.

To reiterate: We should agree on a runner-up for the sacrifice. If we sacrifice dd and he's shock he will guess a word and we kill someone else.

[Submachine]

So, we are claiming groups now?

Not yet. I just suggest the people who recognized which word I got to help me identify them. I know that one of them already knows that I know him, and he is doing great. The second person did a weird association if he has the same word as I do, but I believe he knows what word I have. I am looking for the rest of my wordbros.

4) I was suspicious of ddevans from round 1 but didn’t want to say anything to give time to really mark him as shock and to see if his partner would say a word very close to his.

I think any Shock strategy (and remember, Shocks can only discuss that pre-game) that involves saying similar words would be an awful strategy.


For what it's worth, if I was a Shock, I think the correct play would have been to snipe serprex on d1. Knowing that I was already under suspicion, in a game much harder to escape suspicion in than mafia, and thus likely to be killed on d2, there would be no benefit to not taking him out with me.

dd: I don't think you're a shock, but the most useful confirmed noob besides myself (you flipping noob raises suspicion of Linkcat & MasterWalks, the latter I'm trying to figure out whether they're shock or on my team). Also we don't share a word, so I can't confirm you unless someone else were to confirm you & be devoured. I'd suggest you seek to confirm a survivor

After dd, I'm thinking we devour Sub. If neither dd or Sub flip shock, we devour Linkcat. If all 3 of them are noobs, I'll be devoured to confirm my list

moe is suspect, because if dd is a noob then moe's apparently on neither team

[serprex]

whoops I finally screwed up not editing. I'm a chronic post editor. My edit was only appending "moe is suspect, because if dd is a noob then moe's apparently on neither team"

Many flaws with this. You basically want to sac the entire team who has the other half of the word.

[serprex]

Survival of the fittest

CR: I was wrong, we don't have the same word

Linkcat says he has 2 confirmations. If we flip him, those 2 confirmations can ally with Scibra after I flip

So my plan is actually to have 1 confirmation from my group join 2 confirmations from the other group

Now if Linkcat is a shock, we'll be losing dd & Sub, but in the end we'll get a shock off by taking out Linkcat, so only one more to go then

[Submachine]

No, Linkcat lives.
