Chair of Deception- Game Thread (4/17) - Game Over! Unshackled, Trickster, and the Decadent King win

[sand]

am i the only one who thinks thats objectively bad to do (and worse that he claimed spy and WANTED to be king?)

[Kiiruma]

Yes? Why would you not vote a trusted person who’s basically dead otherwise?

[clonedcheese]

@Capybara

The whole point is to get one person dead without doing the whole arguing, explaining, and pushing part.
That’s not doable with you in power.

You are not gonna kill someone because I say “Trust me, kill X”.

wh
what

@Capybara

You said that I have blind trust in orange.
I would say that it goes bit further. I have blind trust in them having trust in me.

Ergo - if they connected me, I would get my kill through anyway.

@Capybara

Orange wanted to become [king] and is just not evil.

I’m having a really hard time understanding where any of this comes from

There’s also this:

@Capybara

Take Jarek’s claim.
It’s not only converts who can see visits, but also starting scum - Luminary.
Luminary, if not converting, would be probably searching for NE. Which makes a lot of sense to go to Cloned for that.

Then why this claim happened?
Becouse he wanted to clear you? No, you weren’t even topic of discussion.
It happened exactly to get more credit. And even then it’s not a good idea, considering scum could, and is likely to, go for the same target and obtain same amount of information.

So please stop thinking that claim = confirmation. Both in your case as well as case of others.

Claims need to be carefuly times. Outing them without net gain, means you out them with net loss.

Seriously, we probably already had one bonus death due to it. Let’s not continue this route.

The problem here is they just… assume Jarek is scum, without evaluating much else.
Yes there are some suspicious parts about Jarek’s behavior over the past two days, but jumping directly from there to luminary is absurd. They don’t even get the claim right - Jarek tracked Kiiruma to me, not watch me.

Sure, Jarek gained towncred for this - regardless of their intention, that’s what happened. But mechclearing, or at least putting a mechanical townlean on, two very PoE slots is an extremely valuable information that we will no longer have further access to once they become king. Regardless of Jarek’s alignment, they put a green lean on both Kiiruma and myself, which is almost always +EV for town if I am indeed correct on Kiiruma’s intentions. Capy ignores all this and just calls for everyone to stop claiming; claiming is almost always beneficial in most high-power open games, as we can catch people have contradicting information.

Putting all this together, I believe that Capy was and is working hard to discredit Jarek as a king, without necessarily considering Jarek’s actions; I am not yet confident in Jarek, but see little reason to have this coordinated an attack on them this early.

As such,

/vote Capybara @Host_Account_1

[Kiiruma]

It’s not great that they claimed, you are right there without a doubt.
But once they did we basically had to vote em

[Kiiruma]

We already have 2 dead protectives, the odds are we do not have much more.
And the odds are if we have any, they’d be on the Marquess.
So Spy!Jarek is just ded if not Lord

[clonedcheese]

@sand

jarek claimed spy, and you guys STILL voted him up for king? wtf lmao

claimed spy then townleaned two people
i can see why they thought that action would be more beneficial than them staying silent

[sand]

uhh, because kinging an investigative is literally a terrible idea??? eli was literally possibly greenchecked by the prince…he wouldve been a better king target

@Kiiruma

this just deepens my point

the fact that jarek claimed to be spy and stepped so literally nobody else had any chance besides him to be kinged should be stared at under a microscope. i actually dont like that one bit,

[Kiiruma]

I’m absolutely biased but I’ll take any sort of clear.
Such as being seen on you lol

[sand]

i dont get how this ever equals outing

[clonedcheese]

@sand

uhh, because kinging an investigative is literally a terrible idea??? eli was literally possibly greenchecked by the prince…he wouldve been a better king target

Eli… is a possibility lul
Maybe they have a powerful enough role that they didnt want to push for themselves to be king

but I dont see a how a spy (a tracker/2shot watcher) would be more useful than they currently are; i recall someone advising me that checks from a tracker/watcher should be revealed as it’s unlikely they will get another check

[clonedcheese]

I believe kinging Jarek was the best mechanical play we could’ve made, from the information we have right now.

If it isnt… well y’all now see why I try to stay silent :P

[clonedcheese]

I apologize if I’m being too verbose right now, currently in an English class so practicing how to extend out my sentences

[ElizaThePsycho (Willow)]

Imagine making mechanical plays off of something that is 100% not guaranteed

[clonedcheese]

question
would you have liked to become king

[clonedcheese]

do not claim if you haven’t

just yes/no plz

[ElizaThePsycho (Willow)]

I’ve claimed this
It’s a no
I suppose I’d be better than Jarek, but…

[Blizer]

are we gonna king jarek, and than kill them the same day

thats a based move but im for it tbh

[ElizaThePsycho (Willow)]

Nah only if he’s literally lockscum
Otherwise we could have wasted a vig shot
Okay to be fair I feel like he did kinda scum slip but scum slips don’t exist

[sand]

someone visiting someone else is not clearing lol

the act of watching that is also not clearing because there are a few scumroles that could…actually use a watch action

there is 3 scum, 2 if scum actually tried to convert prince as additional kpn for some reason and failed. Giving out townclears isnt town ai on its own

you guys are clearing this guy for pseudoclearing you, which makes like…zero sense. Im convinced you guys voted him out of that bias or possibly from being partnered with him in the case he does flip scum tbh. His claim was outright bad imo.

@clonedcheese

i recall someone advising me that checks from a tracker/watcher should be revealed as it’s unlikely they will get another check

whoever said this has no idea wtf theyre talking about or they’re legitimately just scum. spy is literally op while prince/marq is still alive. I am struggling to see why town!jarek outed himself as a role like that just to claim someone visited someone else (and claimed they were both probably town) and then ask to be king.

@sand

I forgot to vote so :^)
