Omega Strikers FM - Saboteurs and Dissenter Win

You’re just mad we caught the dissenter

Naw he didnt visit atlas. Only dubu did. Idk if he would have counted as visiting if he got blocked by dubu though. Someone ask the mod.

If I was drekar and town I would have shot n1 because id know id hit a saboteur and I want to get my shot off because I get fearkilled

So either drekar is mafia or he has no belief in his own abilities… I think the former is more likely

idt it makes sense to say “i am most likely to miss n1” when he clearly has confident scumreads

ok mod says drekar would of been caught by my watcher if he had tried to kill atllas

Are we back?

Oh okay, that’s good to know. I agree with your analysis of his posts - I was actually convinced he shot Atlas cause of how confident his reads were, and how he aired an aura of confidence around him. Even if he didn’t want to shoot Atlas, I would have expected him to shoot you - he voted you yesterday and voted you again today, it’s very clear he wanted you dead.

Also agree with the analysis that scum benefits more from holding it, (though, I would argue that the main power of scum vigilante is denying it from town)

He didn’t seem like one. Particularly because a semi-afk wolf doesn’t push T!Juliette there.

Did Drek shoot Juliette?

example: if he shot you he wouldn’t have you around to vote the next day

So if im getting this right, one sabotuer cannot attack N1 but the other can. Nobody is claiming responsibility for Juliette’s kill via mechanics so, we can assume they were town or dissenter.

Ill also take this opportunity to clear myself because if I were a wolf I would have held my night kill to sync up two scum kills each night instead of one. It’s less optimal mechanically but I think it’s a better strategy to scare the shit out of the town and force them to make mistakes.

Not to mention, with so much PR traffic possibly killing anyone, it would have made more sense for both wolves to have held it until N2. It also may have helped dissenter. Foolish wolves.

Mostly agree with these reads. Also I was pretty sure we talked a little on day one? Maybe not.

I don’t know why you’re telling anyone what youre ISOing for but Atlas got a non-sabotuer check on Kai. So, if Kai is in that obvious villager category, you helped get him lynched.

Alright well nobody is here so I’m gonna go watch some TV.

Gonna point out two more things because I was confused and I’m not sure if anyone else was; Dubu roleblocks their target and protects them and Atlas gave a non-sab check on Kai. It’s passive so it ignores any possible roleblock. I thought Atlas had to use his action to coroner initially.

The second thing is, I wouldn’t be surprised if Atlas was scum either but I don’t have much to go off that feeling right now. The three things bugging me are:

  1. The roleplay language makes it easy to have cognitive dissonance and make what you’re typing out harder to interperate.
  2. Yesterday I recall Atlas being self aware that everyone “cleared out” when they showed up in the thread.
  3. From my point of view, Kai was an obvious mislynch so a non-sab check isn’t surprising. But I don’t like how there was more emphasis (and lament) over Juliette’s slot here. If T!Juliette is certainly a thing, it could make sense for them to be Atlas’ target and Atlas’ response could be in-thread apologies for whacking them.

It’s tinfoil but somebody has tinfoil. VOTE: Atlas

My initial reaction to SoD is Drekar is moving towards a more solid townread for me. I have seen this sort of stubbornness about mech before, in fact I’ve been the person with this sort of stubbornness about mech. I can’t recall it coming from a scum. It’s hard to fake.

It’s possible that Drekar is putting on a show here as an excuse to not fire, but I don’t see the big benefit for them as compared to just firing on a candidate who’s borderline poe town and just claiming it’s a hero shot. I don’t think anyone would be surprised if that had happened, and they could have gotten off without too much heat.

It’s also possible it’s a ploy to garner exactly this read. If it is, it’s a very well executed one, and I’m ok being fooled for now.

I feel like I’m starting to get them more the more they’re posting in the thread, and I think their thoughts have an internal consistency to them that’s checking all the right townie boxes for me.

On the mech portion however @Drekar I have been in a game before where a town vig held all game, never shooting because of numbers. It got closer to the end and they still didn’t want to. Wolves won without them ever firing. They admitted after that their primary suspect was a wolf.

I don’t know how much that experience will sway you. But speaking from a game design perspective, vig is a powerful town role. It’s about as strong to me as doc. Risking not using it usually doesn’t end well for town.

Luna is so obviously town lol

You can quote this in the AAR if I’m wrong, I don’t care. I’m not

While you’re at it, what do you think of Era right now? You’re the only person I either think or know is town (which is now 5, so you know, out of 9 townies) who hasn’t said my Era read is terrible

Though I suppose Kai could still be lost wolf
