(i will bold the important bits, or the bits i find particularly suspicious)
c0:
6:27 PM]zorbees: if you are actually not freelancer, let me know, i wont tell anyone
[6:27 PM]Myrfiant: is this re: the document?
[6:28 PM]zorbees: i mean im also a bit sus because you seem like one of the likelier options from our mayorchat group to not be fl
[6:28 PM]Myrfiant: I mean yeah, I kind of figure the same about you lol
[6:28 PM]zorbees: yeah understandable
[6:29 PM]Myrfiant: Low key, same deal to you, I think if the two of us could be on a faction in mayor chat
[6:29 PM]Myrfiant: that would be a big boon to that faction
[6:29 PM]Myrfiant: Since ngl, I doubt freelancers win
[6:29 PM]Myrfiant: It'll be a meme, they'll get some hits, but seems unlikely that ever happens
[6:31 PM]zorbees: i think fl win is possible because iirc sam said (this is from like months ago while he was talking about this game, so im not 100% sure its accurate), that recruitments are limited somehow
[6:31 PM]zorbees: so its not like freelancers will all be absorbed into the others
[6:31 PM]Myrfiant: hm
[6:31 PM]zorbees: freelancers have to have a decent shot id think because otherwise the teams that need to eliminate them would have a leg up on the ones that dont
[6:32 PM]Myrfiant: isn't that the case?
[6:32 PM]Myrfiant:
The Fire faction is a mason faction. They can recruit from the Freelancers each cycle, but have a cap as to how many total people they can recruit. Their cap is lower than the mafia factions, as are their general ability powers. Their win condition is: You are allied with the Fire faction. You win if you eliminate the Electric and Water factions.
[6:32 PM]Myrfiant: one of the mason factions
[6:32 PM]Myrfiant: implying masons are weaker than mafia factions
[6:33 PM]zorbees: well what i mean is
[6:33 PM]Myrfiant: But you make a good point that they probably do have a decent chance
[6:33 PM]zorbees: yes they have that disadvantage but
[6:33 PM]Myrfiant: Especially with the Aspects
[6:33 PM]zorbees: being able to work with the freelancer team is probably a decent offset
[6:34 PM]Myrfiant: Anyways, I am a freelancer. But if we both think there's value in taking control of mayor chat for a faction. I'd potentially be interested in alias swapping closer to deadline
[6:34 PM]zorbees: im def not alias swapping c0
[6:35 PM]Myrfiant: Fair enough lmao
c1:
1:08 PM]zorbees: are you still fl? im getting paranoid of our server with 2 people recruited
[1:08 PM]Myrfiant: Yeah
[1:08 PM]Myrfiant: But also fair disclosure, always going to claim that no matter what tbh
[1:08 PM]zorbees: makes sense i guess
[1:08 PM]Myrfiant: Well, unless I can get onto fire/electric
[1:09 PM]Myrfiant: since lancer neutral, but still
[1:09 PM]Myrfiant: But also yeah fair
[1:09 PM]Myrfiant: Our server's been ...kind of dead
[1:09 PM]Myrfiant: Which is interesting
[1:09 PM]zorbees: yeah
[1:09 PM]zorbees: i think part of it is timezone
[1:09 PM]Myrfiant: Possible
[1:09 PM]zorbees: like blazade i think is busy during the day
[1:09 PM]Myrfiant: But also, we go 24 hours and it's just you/me/blazade mostly
[1:09 PM]Myrfiant: So idk
[1:10 PM]Myrfiant: Possible that tbf
[1:10 PM]Myrfiant: our primary action isn't that interactable or meaningful early
[1:10 PM]Myrfiant: game*
[1:10 PM]Myrfiant: but also, sometimes people are just idlers idk
[1:10 PM]Myrfiant: Low key though I'll turn it around to you, did you get recruited?
[1:11 PM]Myrfiant: I am potentially open to being recruited. Seems like the factions might be having a rough game, but I'm still open to them tbh
[1:11 PM]zorbees: nah i am still fl
[1:11 PM]Myrfiant: Gotcha, I will say in my world you were at least fl yesterday
[1:11 PM]zorbees: im kinda happy because things seem like theyre going decently for fls imo
[1:11 PM]zorbees: but a lot can change quickly
[1:12 PM]Myrfiant: Yeah true
[1:12 PM]Myrfiant: and of course, going well for fl's only matters if we stay fl
[1:12 PM]Myrfiant: Which is the interesting bit of this
[1:12 PM]zorbees: ofc
[2:11 PM]zorbees: are you really not a recruiter? i was rereading our logs and when you asked me to alias swap near deadline c0 that seemed really sus
[2:12 PM]Myrfiant: Yeah I'm not
[2:12 PM]Myrfiant: that was me checking if you were a recruiter
[2:12 PM]Myrfiant: Assuming you would take my alias if you were
[2:12 PM]zorbees: lol
[2:41 PM]Myrfiant: Low key wandering why you are asking
[2:43 PM]zorbees: trying to figure out who is not fl from our server so it makes uniting easier
[2:44 PM]zorbees: i know we cant do that yet but it cant hurt to plan ahead
[2:44 PM]Myrfiant: I mean that makes sense, and I guess you're hoping if I was one, I'd be the type who would say it to make that easier
[2:44 PM]Myrfiant: idk, personally given that we have 3 moles and a bunch of idlers
[2:44 PM]Myrfiant: I think it's going to be rough
[2:45 PM]zorbees: well i could definitely understand you not wanting to say if you were fire or water since they already have public reps
[2:45 PM]zorbees: does your personal ability help at all with uniting? mine doesn't
[2:45 PM]Myrfiant: No
[2:45 PM]Myrfiant: Mine's okay, but it's best used when town is united
[2:45 PM]Myrfiant: and has little value otherwise
[4:09 PM]Myrfiant: I have a funny idea, but first honestly, are you factionated/recruiter?
[4:09 PM]zorbees: no
[4:09 PM]Myrfiant: It's obviously a possibility
[4:09 PM]Myrfiant: but I think it's unlikely that the non-lancers in the chat are all the same faction
[4:09 PM]Myrfiant: actually sorry, thinking about this in real time and realized it's a bad strat
[4:10 PM]Myrfiant: I thought maybe you or I could post in the chat as if a non-lancer trying to get someone to contact us
[4:10 PM]Myrfiant: but they are probably already connected and/or it would just make things messier
[4:12 PM]zorbees: yeah probably would cause more trouble than its worth
[4:14 PM]Myrfiant: Yeah
[4:14 PM]Myrfiant: I am a fan of big bombastic strategies and stuff
[4:14 PM]zorbees: the only way i think it makes sense is like
[4:14 PM]Myrfiant: but I can recognize the chaos it would potentially cause
[4:15 PM]zorbees: idk itd be very tricky to pull off
[4:17 PM]Myrfiant: and dependant on things we/I don't know
[3:09 PM]zorbees: if you are actually on a faction, please let me know, i'd be willing to give alias to get recruited
[3:12 PM]Myrfiant: Duly noted. If I am on a faction, I will follow up with you on this a little later.
[3:13 PM]zorbees: little later this cycle or on a later one
[3:13 PM]Myrfiant: Again, if. But I meant this cycle
[3:13 PM]zorbees: kk
[2:42 PM]Myrfiant: And just 100% verifying, you are not on a faction right?
[2:42 PM]Myrfiant: At least, that is your claim?
[2:42 PM]zorbees: correct
[2:44 PM]Myrfiant: Okay, then I will say that....yes I am on a faction. We are choosing to play this game pretty close to the chest because we don't see an advantage to outing ourselves until freelancers can actually unify. But knowing that two other factions are in the mayors chat, we think it would be good to have you be our recruit for today.
[2:45 PM]zorbees: sry playing hearthstone so kinda distracted
[2:45 PM]Myrfiant: no worries, still plenty of time today
[2:45 PM]zorbees: gimme like 2 min
[2:48 PM]zorbees: ok so
[2:48 PM]zorbees: do you mind if i ask which faction, im pretty sure you're either electric or grass but i think i'd like to know for sure before i give alias
[2:50 PM]Myrfiant: I'm going to claim electric. But I'm also pointing out you are asking for very important information before giving us anything.
[2:50 PM]zorbees: yeah i understand
[2:50 PM]zorbees: electric is cool, i like the idea of joining a side that can still work with fls
[2:51 PM]zorbees: my alias is columbus
[2:51 PM]Myrfiant: Understood, see you on our faction soon then
(the alias claim was a complete lie)
c2:
4:17 AM]Myrfiant: Welcome to the freelancer faction
[4:17 AM]Myrfiant: But you funnily probably got actually recruited lol
[9:36 AM]zorbees: let me know when you are around so we can talk
[12:53 PM]Myrfiant: Syo
[12:53 PM]Myrfiant: Sup*
[12:56 PM]zorbees: idk how you would do this because i dont know what the faction leader pms look like, but would it be possible to prove you are electric
[12:59 PM]Myrfiant: Aren't you straight up recruited this cycle?
[12:59 PM]zorbees: no...
[12:59 PM]Myrfiant: Oh
[12:59 PM]Myrfiant: Well then
[12:59 PM]zorbees: why do you think i am
[12:59 PM]Myrfiant: Because there's only 2 other freelancers in the chat
[1:00 PM]zorbees: sure but you said this cycle in particular
[1:00 PM]Myrfiant: Yeah, you were sus yesterday so I went along with your questions to see how you'd react
[1:00 PM]Myrfiant: But when you gave me your(?) alias, I figured you were freelancer. But then realized there's a 25% chance you were recruited
[1:00 PM]zorbees: sure bud, you want me to actually believe you're a freelancer?
[1:01 PM]Myrfiant: or 33% rather
[1:01 PM]Myrfiant: Do you have any reason to think otherwise?
[1:01 PM]zorbees: youve been sus af all game
[1:01 PM]Myrfiant: The way I talk is naturally sus
[1:01 PM]Myrfiant: I always get that in every mafia game
[1:02 PM]zorbees: fine, the reason i asked you to prove you were electric is because i suspect you're actually grass
[1:03 PM]zorbees: i dont want to make enemy of electric but im fine going gainst grass
[1:03 PM]Myrfiant: Same?
[1:03 PM]Myrfiant: Like, I'm not grass
[1:04 PM]Myrfiant: and unless/until I get recruited, I need them dead too
[1:04 PM]zorbees: you cant get recruited
[1:04 PM]Myrfiant: You've also, I will point out, been very suspicous
