UK Eastermeet 2022 Invitational (Game over!)

[Porochaz]

Why do I feel like I was tricked into a game of ultimate werewolf?

[Takuma]

oh

[mykonian]

Well, this is a lot weirder than I was expecting. We probably should go for some form of potato-based justice.

I'd vote you for that suggestion.

All the power to anyone who can convince someone to give up their potato but the day should not start with that discussion.

I am feeling very good about both our consuls.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

If they don't that would just cement them as scum imho.

Agreed. Especially after that typewriter jab.

Too late! I've already codified voting as potato-based, so you can't vote for me without agreeing to the potatocracy.

[Bellaphant]

Menno can give me enough warning to do that if potato death is their next move, sure. Although I feel I missed most of the potato based memes.

It's not a meme.

It's misery.



I think you want to be more proactive than that. Primate gave you the opportunity to do so, don't leave it to Menno.

Given that the potato mechanic is clearly what everyone wants to talk about, and is the most important thing in the game right now, I am happy to state that I would give away my potato if I find a suitable recipient.

Why would you give away your potato? What would make someone a suitable recipient?

You know that nobody benefits here from having more than 1 potato right? So the only reason to give away your potato is in order to voluntarily execute yourself, and the only reason to do that is if you are on the block for actual execution, to give the town access to extra executions. Not that it worked out great for us last time?

Not sure I trust Cpol or Primate. Everyone else is neutral right now.

[Fenchurch]

Day 1 quickguess: evil team is Primate and Bella, Cpol cult something.

[cpol]

Tbf I was going off Posties assumption of a potato stealer of some kind.

[Primate]

This is wrong but there's a compelling narrative there I think if you want to go further with it.

[Nexus]

Please fix your avatar cpol. `

[Nexus]

There's no reason for town to want to give away their potato. Please explain, cpol

yeah the potato thing is a complete crapshoot, if I want her dead I will just execute her (and probably give some warning)

Day 1 quickguess: evil team is Primate and Bella, Cpol cult something.

do you think scum!primate would give me the opportunity to kill his scumbuddy that quickly? super risky. also I think the scumteam is flavoured as a cult because of the whodunnit, but like, without recruits

I kinda like Cerys rn? but I'm easily swayed

[Fenchurch]

Yeah I agree it's pretty unlikely but I wanted to throw it out there. It might seem like a risky play but I think it's actually safer to get nominated earlier rather than later, because most people aren't gonna go ahead with an execution that quickly, and if you don't support it then Bella becomes safe for the rest of the day.

Kinda like Menno right now but I'm also easily swayed

[cpol]

I'm pretty happy with my potato based statement as it is tbh

[cpol]

Primates vote on Bella did come in pretty quick. What are you actually wanting to achieve here, Primate?

Also CES had started to push Bella, so it could be seen as an attempt to get ahead of it. That's the argument for why I'd nom my scumbuddy bella over a random townie, if you were that way inclined. I wouldn't start building any theories about scumteams based on it though, I'm not scum.

Primates vote on Bella did come in pretty quick. What are you actually wanting to achieve here, Primate?

Pfft, play the ball, not the man.

The design of the potato game was definitely that it helped the town by allowing them to execute more people (to the extent that the rest of the set-up consisted of ways of making it less strong). And I think it'd be an absolute waste not to take advantage of it.

And as stated previously, I think we should all vote and have that voting determine our potato redistribution efforts (i.e. if a majority votes for you, you gotta give up your tubers). Voting is pro-town, people.

In terms of PrimBella, I think Primate has to have relatively specific beliefs as to how likely Menno is to act impulsively to rule out the move as scum but for it to feel reasonable as town. Personally, I think the more compelling argument against it is that I'm not sure scumPrim would choose to put the pressure on a scum buddy in that way.

[Bellaphant]

Giving up my potato would be reactive, not proactive . And silly!

Menno and cerys early town

Honestly confused by primate here: I don't think CES can really think that reading an opening post of, what looks like from my pov, nonsense, and reacting to it is scummy at all. an opener like that deserves a reaction! I'd also be surprised if the stuff there is crucial to game solving, but I'm happy to be wrong.

I'm hoping primate is just generating reactions. If I end up the convo for the whole of the day I'll be surprised and disappointed.

(I read.primates posts in his voice now. That's weird )

P-edit the pressure is real? Huh.

[cpol]

Pfft, play the ball, not the man.

It's a genuine question. I see more scum plays than town plays myself in placing the nomination down that early and am wanting to know your thoughts on why you did so.

[Shanba]

This is important.

@Bella: Fairly clear CES was talking about the specific reaction, not just a reaction.

Sure, I get that you want to know that.

More anti-town than scummy, really.

I did forget to be fair that you wouldn't have been there for some of the stuff. I can explain some of the references: the codenames grid was used in Wereleg's Invention Game, which had several Inventors which could all invent things by combining adjacent entries on the grid and giving that invention to someone (without knowing what exactly it would do). Wereleg also had potato and consul-based games but those mechanics are basically self-explanatory. Ten Candles was a rpg Wenna ran; Cockroach Poker is just a bluffing-style game - there's no obvious mechanical effect of either and I doubt it's particularly pressing for us to find out what they do.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

But looking back, knowing that you didn't get the references doesn't actually make me feel better about the post.
