Open 898: Don't Fall In The Volcano! | Game Over!

[Klick]

I'm home now but I'm running a fever so I don't feel like reading the wall posts

I'm willing to admit I could be wrong about Neko and I also wouldn't mind fading kawaii today

ayy fever club

If you vote Kawaii you'll have officially voted everyone in the game today

Kawaii is e-2 I think

@klick is there anything specific you want to talk about

What's your read on FakeGod

[Black]

I think Klick and Dann are two of the best players on the site, if not the best. I'm always going to be concerned that they are playing me. But I also think that if Klick is town then he'll be really useful in solving the game so I'm fine ignoring those concerns for now

What's your read on FakeGod

I don't really have a strong read there but I still think he could be scum with kawaii

Outside of that association I'm not sure. He's been hard townreading me all game which I'm always a little wary of

I would say I lean scum here

[Black]

(I hope you feel better Klick. My fever just started today. There's been a bunch of COVID going around so I'm a little worried)

[Black]

A quick look at his ISO and Fake has been doing a ton of talking about me but like...no talking to me, like at all. Maybe he feels confident that he can read me from the outside but that's not how I like to sort. I would rather engage with people

I think his case on you regarding my wagon at e-1 is bad

Claptastik, why are you town?

Do you really think I'd be poking the bears the way I am if I were scum?

There's a reason for that. Think about it.

"What an exciting event that was, Harry! I knew Deadeye had quite an arm but it was incredible how many of their boulders struck the heads of the other Gladiators!"

"That's right, June! In fact, I think our production team is telling us that every single one of them was a headshot! It's astounding that so many of them were able to continue under such an assault!"

"I was surprised too! I do feel badly for Giant, being taken out of play like that. I enjoyed their previous appearance last month, so I'm sad to think that there won't be more in the future. But that's how it is in this contest, inevitably some will fall in the process. Victory can only go to the best, after all!"

"That's right, June! I believe our current points leader is Hawk, but they're still tallying the bonuses for Deadeye's marksmanship, so I think it might be close. Let's go to a commercial break while the crew gets us those totals."

"One moment, Harry! Here's a final stats card for Giant, since we know they're not earning any more points."

Spoiler: KawaiiKame Role Card

Mafia Roleblocker

Welcome, KawaiiKame, to Open 898!

You are a

Mafia Roleblocker

.

You may target one player per night. This player will be prevented from performing their own action, if any.

You and your partner, [redacted], share a factional kill each night. You must choose which of you will commit the kill. You may commit the kill and perform a roleblock in the same night phase. You also share a factional Private Thread (PT), located here, where you may talk at any time.

You win when the Town has been eliminated, or nothing can stop this from occurring.

The game thread is here.

Confirm by replying with your role name and alignment or by posting in your PT.

"That's right, June! And now, a word from our sponsor, Volcano Potatoes!"

Night One will end in 48 hours ((expired on 2023-12-22 20:51:03)). Send in all night actions to

and

"Welcome back, everyone! We've got a great show underway! Take a look at the scores from the first event up on the board. It's quite a competition with an impressive showing from many of our gladiators!

"That's right, June! Unfortunately with the round over, it means it's time to say goodbye to one of our contestants. I liked watching Mortar's performance out there, but with the lowest score they're not going to be moving on to the next event."

Welcome, Klick, to Open 898!

You are a

You have no special abilities.

You win when there are no longer any threats to town.

"I'm always sad at this part. At least Mortar gets a consolation prize: a set of Volcano Hand Warmers! I'm sure they'll come in useful in the future."

"That's right, June! You can never have too much hand-warming! But now it's time to get into the next event- my personal favorite part of the show!"

"I think a lot of people share that opinion, Harry! The Pugil Joust is exactly the kind of free-for-all that can really change the course of the show! I can't wait to see what the scores look like after this event!"

"That's right, June! The crews have finished retracting the catwalk railings, and all the remaining gladiators have received their pugil sticks. The melee is about to start!"

"It's an exciting but intimidating moment for the competitors down there! Staring across the narrow catwalks at all those other gladiators who are intent on getting their points from you! With nothing but a pugil stick to defend yourself! What a thrill it must be!"

"That's right, June! But the others also have pugil sticks! Look, here's the referee's signal! It's go time!"

It is now Day Two, which ends in 7 days ((expired on 2023-12-29 21:25:10) from current time).

There's a reason for that. Think about it.

What was this about?

[NekoLover]

You've played Mafia before though so there should be things you think are more or less likely to be scum indicative. Meta is used but it shouldn't be the leading factor in any case, unless it's just obvious

Can you go over what you think about kawaii so far?

I was gonna say I felt they were town, but obviously that aged poorly

My first thought was fakegod was an immediate obvious scum given how fast kawaii came out to defend them, but kawaii also came to my defense, so i'm uncertain on that read. I was gonna say klick unlikely scum, but they also died.

Since people (FakeGod in the post Kawaii quoted) are apparently upset about the page 2 wagon still, I am going to say that I think if Black is town then that actually makes Sky a whole less towny in my eyes (my read on Sky was basically "null but unpartnered with Black") and probably the scummiest person on Black's wagon, over Klick.

However reading Kawaii's interaction with FakeGod, yikes. I am pretty sure Kawaii is scum.

VOTE: Kawaii

Massive towncred to dragon, he was the first person to read it, and I don't think he'd immediately bus his partner day 1

I'm still trying to read the others

[Black]

I think Dann is probably town. It doesn't seem very intuitive for scum!Dann to continuously paint Kawaii in a bad light when he could have easily just ignored Kawaii's weird posts. Instead he drew attention to them in a way that makes me think they're not partnered

Clap is probably town too. The Kawaii wagon happened really quickly and I don't think it makes a ton of sense for Clap to hammer that without even letting Kawaii speak, or without giving the wagon a chance to diffuse

I still think Fake or Neko make the most sense as possible partners

[Black]

ig i think claptastik/kawaii is the solve rnow in my heart of hearts

I'm curious if you still think this

Maybe Clap saw this and was like "I'm gonna hammer to get Dann off my trail" but ehh, idk

[Black]

Maybe Neko is just town because Klick was obvtown reading him, so it doesn't really make a lot of sense for Neko to kill Klick. I think there would be way better NK options for scum!Neko

[Skygazer]

i think the hammer is weird and possibly scum but i think its more likely fakegod

VOTE: fakegod
