I feel we should take a closer look at the people who were on Dolby's wagon. There is a good chance there might have been a wolf on the wagon.

Look at how Tims was acting yesterday after my wagon died down.

I have no idea what about half the game thinks and no take on them

:soapbox:

I question how solid of a read I actually have on hk. Dolby's probably pretty close to locktown for me. Lewwyn is also solidly town for me

still think hk looks good though, just seems weird re:Tims

I liked Winston for the post everyone hated.

Hi Csar

Any susses? What are your hottest takes rn?

How have your reads majorly changed since Tims died, or are all of me/Lewwyn/HK reads because of that?

It's kinda hard, since quite a few people don't have much. think pzelda could be a woof, sort of feels meh as well tbh. there's just a lot of people on the threshold like GG/Nanook basically quite a few.

I don't think tims changes much, makes me slightly more sus of hk, and reinforces my read on you.

My closest thing to a hot take is Winston I guess, but that doesn't really feel like a hot take to me, just kinda :mad:

The four Bionics interrupted the squad of Marines busily extracting data in the command center. The latter were the victorious survivors from the teleported waves of stormtroopers in the Strike Envelope, and so absorbed were they in their privileged work that not one could know to raise an alarm. The Supralatus, glorious of status, raised a hand and in a heartbeat all the Marines dropped dead from concentrated gamma radiation.

All the halls and chambers of the complex were already dead; now they were certainly the only living humans here. But there were many more Marines still coalescing topside, who would soon enough seek to clear out the Bionic bastion. Therefore time was short, and the Bionic cell could not take the opportunity to restore the facility autonomous defense network. No matter - with planning, they would be more than enough of a match for the persistent Marine flotsam. The immediate task would have to be to sabotage the biochemical laboratories so that nothing of the highest-level Bionic technoscientific corpus fell into enemy hands. There was also the matter of the specimens...

As a higher form of being it was natural for Bionics to establish dealings with extraterrestrial life forms. Some of which could be useful in alternative, unappreciated ways. The evidence of which was arrayed in the lab ferociously before the Bionics; power failures and enemy action had breached the containment measures for the captives. And they were very agitated. Still, nothing four topline Bionics couldn't handle...

It was an exhausting fight, a very wasteful one. It was a tragedy that so much hard work had to go up in flames all of a sudden. As a fighting force such well-enhanced humans must be awesome to contemplate, but after this much expenditure of power they would have to bide their time against even the Marines for a spell.

...

Where was the second Operator?

Three followed the chilling crackles to a utility room, from whose entrance spread out a spool of carnage. All systems ready they barged in, to find a creature in the process of - consummating with - the fourth Bionic. This thing. Of all the blasphemies from Beyond that the Front had secured for its menageries, this was the most mysterious, the most difficult to handle. In spite of its quantological fetters, it must have relied on the waves of alien fury boiling themselves against the Bionic's defenses to outmaneuver him; how careless, how distasteful.

The Bionic was clearly dead, gray and shrunken, delectable enhancements spilling out of the cadaver into the bubbing, burbling form of the alien. Throughout the room emanated vapors of nauseous coruscance.

In the duration of the Bionics' faltered moment of breath, it spoke.

Unless suffering is the direct and immediate object of life, our existence must entirely fail of its aim. It is absurd to look upon the enormous amount of pain that abounds everywhere in the world, and originates in needs and necessities inseparable from life itself, as serving no purpose at all and the result of mere chance. Each separate misfortune, as it comes, seems, no doubt, to be something exceptional; but misfortune in general is the rule. I know of no greater absurdity than that propounded by most systems of philosophy in declaring evil to be negative in its character. Evil is just what is positive; it makes its own existence felt. Leibnitz is particularly concerned to defend this absurdity; and he seeks to strengthen his position by using a palpable and paltry sophism. It is the good which is negative; in other words, happiness and satisfaction always imply some desire fulfilled, some state of pain brought to an end. This explains the fact that we generally find pleasure to be not nearly so pleasant as we expected, and pain very much more painful.

The Supralatus advanced under indignant choler. Disgraceful abomination, your penalty should be instant death. In respect for your value to the cause I will allow you to submit yourself for sequestration and transportation immediately.

The violently-convulsing organism was a presence that could no longer be tolerated. Unleashed in synchrony were the plasma cannon, the gamma beam, the flamethrower, and the nanocarbon flechette; the contents of the room were fairly obliterated, including the fallen Bionic.

But somehow, the alien had burst out of the room in a snarl, leaving the Bionics bruised and splayed out on the floor. Though they quickly recovered and assumed battle posture, peace resounded as they postured fruitlessly. It had gone - or else was lurking.

Oh shit, muttered the Infiltrator. Was it supposed to be able to talk?

The Supralatus lowered his head. It would seem ― it would seem that it has been rebuilding itself by assimilating bionics and other modifications. After all, he gestured, there were plenty of fallen Bionics here to take advantage of before we arrived.

The gravelly-voiced surviving Operator began to grasp the situation. Oh. That sounds bad. There are many hundreds of dead Bionics choking the zone, and this facility...

Yes, there's no telling how powerful it can become if allowed to roam. The only bright side is that I believe it needs living Bionics to achieve the most significant upgrades. A dead Bionic should be only a respite for the beast. So it will hunt us, because it can, but activated as we are even a single further loss would be a stigma. No less a catastrophe.

Upon further regretful consideration, the Supralatus came to a decision.

The next step is to destroy every Bionic corpse we can find, and infiltrate the incoming Marines - yes, for our own security. We'll have to kill two birds with one stone. Our assignment just got a lot more difficult.

As they camped in the cafeteria, the Marines had established networked sentinels throughout the section, one in the kitchens. Sandbagged behind the contents of the freezers, Lieutenant c4e5g3d5 watched over his team.

Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do to presage the barrage of plasma that killed or wounded all his troops. In fact this position just funneled the heat of the plasma inward, magnifying the effect: a death trap.

Leaping out for new cover, c4e5g3d5 ascertained the attackers position, just a single Bionic. Contact! Reinforce immediately! he screamed into c4e5g3d5's commslink - but it was being jammed, unbeknownst to him.

There wasn't much more he could do than duck the constant fresh incoming plasma. The Bionic started with an advantage, and now its superior speed and firepower could not be overcome. c4e5g3d5 knew he had only one chance, not to save himself but to protect his comrades.

Breaking his strafe around the kitchen to charge the Bionic, he rolled and dodged as he could but his armor was beginning to melt into his skin. With a defiant cry he leaped out from behind an island and began pumping concentrated EM right into the borg's trunk. The Bionic's plasma was already discharging.

Ultimately, the Bionic could absorb more laser than the Marine could plasma. After the laser ceased, only char and ash rained down.

Objective achieved for the night.

The cratered remains of the Marines baked on the steel floor.

sksksksksksksksksksksksksskkkkk

With a twirl the Bionic extended his sensors and prepared to face reinforcements. But none came. The graphical interface fluttered with anomalies.

skskskskskskskskskskskskssssss

Backing into the center of the room, the Operator smoothly rotated in circles about his heels, observing with forward optics. A thickening miasma clung to the air. This could only be...

And I oop-

BAKEMONO

It had been foolish to send an Operator alone, given the circumstances, even to ambush a handful of unmods. What subterrene horror had been unleashed a day ago?

Concern strained the Major's face.

Sergeant Visor has reported that one of our observational posts in the kitchens has been wiped out overnight. Even worse - better? - we found bionic detritus around the site.

So does that mean our brothers valiantly gave their lives and took down opps with them? the Sergeant bravely offered.

No. If only that were the case. But we examined what survived of the bodycam footage from the fallen, and there was action after the last Marine had died. We found - this.

Major Montmorency projected an image for public view. Gasps and shudders reverberated throughout the echelon.

A deformed - or maybe unformed - entity unlike any their eyes had beheld, seizing the Bionic. It was difficult to make out much detail, and almost as difficult to look at the image for any length of time. The Major flicked to the next image, with only the Bionic's arm visible. What it had of original flesh appeared unnaturally brittle and gray. Was that an artifact of the low-light conditions?

There isn't much else to show you, went the Major's intonation. Most of the altercation took place outside the view from the bodies, er, body cams. Today the only sign of that Bionic was - the Major held up a large and rugose hunk of fused metal. Even a 2000-kg bomb wouldn't be able to meld the alloys and ceramics used in biomods that way. This... alien, wolf, monster, thing, this
Alien Werewolf,
is loose in the facility, and somehow I doubt it's just hunting Bionics. If that's what it can do to a modified human that just wasted a team of elite Marines, then we must double our vigilance. Our assignment just got a lot more difficult.

With that the Marines formed up to push on. Next stop was the dormitory.

I remember Tim disparaging my TRs (other than him) so those people are probably okay? They were Cap (pzelda) and Ibn.

Also lolargon with the fakepeek on red!Tim. Classic, dude.

Since I wasn't here for Twilight:

I wanted to vote Rask, but I didn't like Csargo on Rask's wagon, so that put me off voting there.

I voted Dolby because of that post I quoted yesterday, where Dolby said "My issue with Rask is..." and then rattled off some issues. It felt very out of the blue, like "Ahh, Rask is getting some heat, I better prepare a valid reason for suspecting him in case I need to vote him"

And even though I was SRing Rask at the time, I SR'd Dolby more for that.

So,

Vote: Dolby

I'll do a proper re-read when I get to work, I only skimmed a few posts between my last post and EOD.

The flavour leaves little room for doubt that the Tim kill was an SK.

There's also stuff in there about the remaining bionics and their weapons that might prove relevant in future.

Not to mention that it's a great read just for its own sake. :bow:

Didn't read the OP until now, yeah: "Closed setup: 13 town, 3 mafia, 1 third party. No conversion mechanics. Town wins when all threats to Town have been eliminated. Other factional victory conditions unknown."

Gimme a take Winston

why was I the only one who used twilight lol

Probably also worth reminding everyone that this game was advertised as 'slightly bastard' and that Monty is a cunning devil.

I think that El's reasoning for me is kinda bleh, since it ignores the issues that I had with Rask's posts, which I assume that also had, but I'm going to hold off on him until he rereads

As mentioned yesterday, I picked up a hint of possible scum theatre from Tim vs. Lewwyn.

I have to head off to work now (wouldn't have posted at all if it wasn't for everyone missing the alien werewolf slavering in the corner), but that's certainly something I'll be looking more closely at this evening.

In my case it was because I'd already reduced my night's sleep to less than five hours just to see the flip.

something about trying to stop the misunderstanding (which scum often do to look townie in my experience) instead of letting it play out (which offers more potential for readable information)

I think that Winston's strech of activity 3 hours before EoD is overall towny

I voted Dolby because of that post I quoted yesterday, where Dolby said "My issue with Rask is..." and then rattled off some issues. It felt very out of the blue, like "Ahh, Rask is getting some heat, I better prepare a valid reason for suspecting him in case I need to vote him"

And even though I was SRing Rask at the time, I SR'd Dolby more for that.

So,

Vote: Dolby

I'll do a proper re-read when I get to work, I only skimmed a few posts between my last post and EOD.

If you didn't like Csargo on Rask, do you suspect csargo? Why vote dolby over csargo then?

Yes, and because my thoughts about Csargo were "unease" but my thoughts about Dolby were "this is something I see from scum a lot"

Sure. El and I are different people. Make of our differences what you will.



Are you debating to the thread or to me? If it's to the thread, fine, but I don't see why this would be a good defense to me since I've never played with you before, I have no basis to believe this. If they're really weaksauce reads to you, it feels more like you're just inflating your postcount by contributing for the sake of contributing.

---

I don't know who Vro is but he's probably not W with Tim here.

Winston also never W with Tim, these interactions are not theatre.

Is there any way to bookmark posts here?

The scum "gotta have a reason prepped for voting someone" is pretty classic sure but Dolby has been commenting on everyone, and in that particular post he gave short reads on a lot of different people. I don't particularly agree with his point but in the end... Dolby was commenting on how Rask was lacking substance, but specifically calling out Rask for clearing Tim, which at this point looks like a bad call by Rask. Unless you think Dolby attacking a townie that was TRing Tim was part of the wolfing strat. I don't particularly see this as a set up on Rask, rather as a defined read.

I like Dolby for liking this.

I don't.

If you know something can come from mafia, and something can be faked by mafia, then logically the default position is "this is null" at best. Feels like an EZ TR on C4P0.

I'm saying I disagree with your assessment with that particular comment, and overall I find him pretty townie. But no I won't lock him on the beginning of Day 2.

Page 3 - Lewwyn's choice of posts to respond to is noteworthy, but too light to be alignment indicative. Csargo being more active than usual is mildly unsettling.

Overall, not much to talk about yet. HK and Csargo could be waffles together, if Rask town, but that's a nasty association I got here. HK's approach to this game feels slightly diferent than the last time, but my alignment was different back then and It was easy to see towniness in his posts.
Rask feels really hyped for this game despite claiming light disappointment about his role. I haven't decided if it's a good look yet.
C4 posted enough for me to notice them, but that's all I can say about their posts with certainty.
Tim not flooding the gates with posts probably should be a villa lean, but it would be a meh meta lean.

Villa leans: Dolby, Borg
Scum potential: Rask, Csargo, HK

I like this post slightly less on re-read. Cap drops from TR to null.

Think Panda's a misguided townie. He seems to really believe this snippet of mafia theory he's using.

---

I don't particularly agree with C4's eventual opinion on Panda being misguided. Panda's interaction feels a bit obfuscatory, also claiming "didn't you see the mistake I made? you must be scum" is like a bad gotcha moment. I don't think Panda moves on from this from the rest of the day. I would like to hear Panda's take on C4's innocence.

Are any of them woofing? What's the read on Gnome? Still suss on Csar?

Lew white-knighting Dolby a LOT since pretty early D1 and continuing now. Might be worth looking into if Dolby flips V

BP's insistence that Tim = V probably comes from Town. I've only played with LA/BP a couple of times but I don't think he's the sort of player to insist on a fake green check on a bro.

I'm just gonna give Gnome a pass for today.

I liked you better when you were a snake.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

Before fully catching up, let me tell one thing. I think Tim flipping scum makes HK town for correctly calling out his meta. I think is important, because it was just meta and not HK going head on against Tim.

I don't know what to think about this post. Dolbster looks like an easy townread for me this game. His posts feels like genuine solving and he's not super reliant on meta. All of his findings make sense. Sticking to this read feels weak from you.

Interesting to see you don't have a Gnome read.

I need to reread d1, because I'm slightly confused by two totally different groups of reads happening right now.
I wonder if I should stick to rask/csargo w/v impression from page 1.
Gnome/Winston both feel like possible anti-towns. From their early interaction, I got a feeling that they might have a private chat together.
Dolby, HK, Lewwyn feels like towns, but I need to reread or pay more attention to new content from them to confirm this with evidence.
Borg Argon def town.
Ibn and Panda are under radar for me. Panda's posts felt like low impact "safe" posts. Ibn just posted without explaining a lot.
I don't remember a single post from Vroendal.
Nanook is sus, but I'm also currently influenced by Dolby's post.
El feels somehow lacking so far, but I'm sure he can pick it up, if town.

Doubtful, I'm juggling 3 jobs and haven't had a day off in 12 days.

It's kinda weird that you say I can pick it up "if town" - in my last game I was highest poster and was scum, so it's not like a massive splurge of energy and WIM from me would be AI in any way. I'm just doing what I can with the little time I have at a PC.

I'm not really looking for amount of content, but for moments, which clearly sell you to me as town. I know that you're capable of posting a lot, but you should know that I'm trying to have a different base than pure meta too.

Hm, I kind of think this duo hides at least one wolf. Nanook responding in that way to Tim's first post is something I need to further think about. It feels slightly artificial, especially with turning it into a tr.
Panda, I'm biased obv, but I dislike that they're dismissing stuff in their first post without creating anything of their own.

No sign of that discomfort; Argon town.

Chessguy: lots of posts, creates image of "let's get started" by picking at gif posters but doesn't say anything really, overeager to be read on this; probs just a wolf.

Csargo: throwing them gif, but a LOT of them, then shifted to words and stayed overbusy for Csargo; probs a wolf.

Raskol: Emphasizing "disappointed by the rand" which is code for "I claim village," doesn't mention me until he finds a way to be agreeable instead of challenging immediately so trying to stay off radar; probs a wolf.

Dolby: meaningless paragoning of Argon, early read of Chessguy that I disagree with, challenged and stuck to it in a good way. Town.

Hollowkatt: comes in swinging to draw attention, early targeting on Raskol so reval as potential w/w there, seems to be worried about me an appropriate amount. Town

Nanook: enters by establishing slanker cred, immediately threatens to kill the person that helps him. Town


Winston: entry by Hardclaim, no additional posts. lean town

Lewynn: entry is softballed off previous post, but second post indicates reading of full thread, then back to softballing off another entry. Probs wolf

Pzelda: opens with a developed reads post which he just got wolf bombed for last time I saw him and he didn't get bombed for it here. May just have done a better job of it, but... Probs just town.

Panda: points out Pzeldas read post as unique, which is accurate, but wolfs it just for that without challenging the reads. Wolf

Many not posted yet. Gnome, Ibn, Laurentus, El, Vro...get your stuff together.

---

These three feel the thinnest and as possible fake reads of wolf buddies. Nanook and Panda might be pocket attempts, but there's no reason to tr town winston for his entrance.
