Micro 1004: Burdened By Secrecy

@Mod, if we lynch a scum, and the paragons guess the 5 identities, who all wins?

This proposed sequence of events cannot happen.

The guess of all alt identities must be submitted before the elimination to be valid, and if it is correct the game will end immediately, meaning no scum can be eliminated.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

They have to alt guess us before the hammer?!

[Maruchan]

Klaus how inrange for you would a selfvote gambit be?

I think I've done it twice before as town and once as scum, but I've never played an elo before and that adds whole levels of risk to doing it as scum I think

[Maruchan]

But it's been years so I 2oule have to meta dive hard to remember

[Maruchan]

I also think those times we had like9 or more people alive so like a selfvote is inherently less risky?

[Maruchan]

don't think I've played with any of you before and vice versa, which I thought would be a great saving anti-meta strategy

Wait why'd you have an Isis altguess then are you scum with her?

... wat? You lost me

[Maruchan]

I mean that's what I said, back then. Nice job parroting me

[Maruchan]

Oh wait, he confirmed it as well. We'll find out shortly then!

did we win with you guys?!?!?!?

did we get lily and vanya?!?!?!?!?

[Maruchan]

Depends on whether you and Five are trolling us here!

you caught us, it was me and five.

gg



kidding, just kidding <3

Klaus was actually Vanya all along? What other secrets are you hiding from us...

that I'm not actually Maruchan, all of that was a mod-approved shenangans planned in the maf thread with my maf budy Maruchan. I'm actually Isis.

[Maruchan]

itsok five.

your reasoning was spot-on, and what I did as scum was horribly horribly risky and I would never recommend it to anyone ever.

[Maruchan]

I'm also glad I successfully pushed the "It's either Lily/Vanya or Five/Klaus" schtick to an extreme.

Either way, we won.

Only when Isis started pointing out Vanya's twilight play painted me as a possible partner did things start getting dicey.

but it didn't gain traction luckily

[Maruchan]

I feel like if faer play had caused a shift of suspicion onto me they would've kept up the schtick jsut to give the appearance of still not even caring, and it might have swayed back. But I'm also not good at digging myself out of holes. 2 things happen to me when I am scum, I survive to end game and win, or I get yeeted. I do not have any recorded Scum!Maru games where I survived/was night killed and my faction still won.

I'm either clearly anti-town and get yeeted by the town and we lose, I garner suspicion by a PR or other anti-town faction and get NK'd and lose, or I survive to endgame with a towny disposition for a win

[Maruchan]

GDI i got the pronoun right the first time in the sentence and not the second. I'm so bad at anything other than "they/them" for everyone online. you're all genderless blobs of text to me.

[Maruchan]

I had some paranoia about things being so neatly divided into lila/vanya - klaus/five but couldn’t see who the team would be if that /was/ scum manipulation

successssssssssss

>:)

[Maruchan]

well that was a fun read.

and nice to see they never once even mentioned the possibility of me being me, so like I guess my existence in the game alone foiled the wincon of guessing all alts. kek.

also nice to know that "bigwordposting" is a Isis tell XD
