Tapler
- If we have a Medium-alike that can talk to dead players, talk to me tonight and I can tell you exactly what happened in #telepathy-chat, which you can then DM to Nate to be confirmed.
Claiming Dusknoir, which is exactly that.
For the people who are still uncertain about the lynch Tapler thing, here's my reasoning as to why this is a risk-free strategy:
- If Tapler is a town telepath like he's been saying, killing him will instantly clear two townies (Nate and me), which is
huge.
- If Tapler is maf, we lynch a maf member lol. If his role is some sort of maf jester that grants mafia a kill or something like that, its kinda bad but since we know that means Nate is also maf, that would mean we get two mafia dead for the price of one townie which is good.
Additionally, the chance Tapler is some sort of neutral jester is incredibly low:
1- there being two jesters is practically impossible, Nate has no reason to be lying here and
2- how would a role like that even work in this format. Like honestly, the only way for a faction to win is to have more subs in than the other one, and unless jester gets given the possibility of literally solo-creating all the fucking roles (which would suck and earl would not do that) there's no way this role is a thing. The payoff of getting a kill or just like being told you won the game is not enough for a neutral role to want to out himself like that – id rather get some of my subs in then be outed round one with a nice plate that said "gg you won".
If he says what he says he is, lynching Tapler also involves
huge rewards in having two confirmed townsmen (Natebloomer, the other telepath, and me, the medium, once I come through with the plan Tapler has made). With only that, we can
completely deny Mafia from obtaining kills. Unless they have a special role that can get them elsewhere, that means as long as confirmed town subs win, Mafia can not get any ammunition, practically winning us the game on spot (disregarding neutral roles).
The price to pay for basically winning is that, for this round at least,
only subs made by Nate or me should win. About votes, ppl who saw it in the discord know that my og vote plan looked something like this:
Offensive:

My revised edition would look something like this:

I can't say im particularily big on neither dragonair nor cinccino, but denying mafia kills comes before that, and for the time being this is how things should be dealt with.
I know that for the people who are only here for the Clean Slate aspect of the mod, this sucks. Only having two options to vote for on round 1 sucks. I'm one of yall – would I not be in the people who can be confirmed, I think I'd be way less down to follow this plan than I am rn. I am aware of my biases.
For people who think that voting for cool subs come before the mafia aspect of the mod, here is my argument:
Eventually, if we only chose subs that are cool, mafia is bound to gain some firepower. It can't be helped: we can't really figure out mafia from submissions alone, at least not always. Once mafia starts gaining control over the game, there's a very likely chance their power starts to snowball. If we do things wrong, we might get to a point where we get a mafia endgame, where maf will be free to get in whatever dumb shit they want to happen. Remember the last round of the short form? The one where Tapler posted screenshots? I'll let yall onto something: if he hadn't done that, Duo's magearna would have gotten in. You know, the one with Metronome and like 200 in defenses. + 15 vote bombing, no way town could have stopped that. Yeah. An endgame where mafia is winning is probably gonna look like that. They're gonna have full power to screw the whole meta up. That means that the cool subs that got in before that are gonna have to forever live in a meta screwd by the few last absolutely bonkershit subs.
I'm not saying this 100% what will happen. I'm saying that we have the power to avoid that completely by voting for confirmed towns. There's not much choice in this round, yeah, but as more and more townspeople get confirmed over time, there's gonna be more and more choice to vote from! And, in the end, we'll be able to have a healthy metagame to play for eons after :). It might suck in short term, but long term this is what's gonna make us have more fun overall.
tl;dr
lynch tapler
if he town then vote for nate and me
EDIT: FORGOT TO ADD. If you have a role that can protect people for the night, protect one of me or Nate! Keeping at least one confirmed townsperson alive is of the upmost importance!
