KingMaker I Game Thread

[Alco]

this version of Barry looks way better than his previous version. Fairly confident he's town. Actively looking to solve the game doesn't appear to be a scum trait of Barry's.

Sky probably town as well then, based on that claim.

Which leads me to Jeff I guess

Smark's activity seems to have taken a bit of a nosedive as well, though.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Well logically, you repping back in for an inactive scum team makes sense. If Ace was town, might have been more leeway (as others also could have been repped out).

 

[Comrade Khan]

@Tearjerker assuming we're all buying what sky is selling now and moving on?

No it hasn't. I was one of the first people in this phase trying to figure out what was going on.

Someone can't be posting 24/7 all day.

1. Jeffatron
2. Ace Dalton Char Aznable v2.0
3. Alco
4. Brandalorian
5. V.Sky
6. Big Man
7. Buffy The Vampire Slayer
8. Rugrat
10. Juice
12. MyPrerogative

Who's Smark on this list again? lel

I don't think I've seen anything out of Buffy and Brandalorian yet. Are they even playing?

Seems contradictory if she's the hero bodyguard after saying she wasn't, but sure.

Rugrat might be a good shout to look at now. I don't like the push on Barry at all.

Is he trying to actively solve the game though? Not too sure about that. And if he looks better/different than his previous version, and his previous version was TOWN....What does that tell you


What about my play have you disliked, by the way. I've noticed you've shaded me a few times but I don't think you ever had any specifics and just kept in to fairly non-specific tropes

Looked like I hadn't seen you post in a while, felt compelled to talk about it.

Go back a page or two. I'm all over this phase.

I still think there are clues in the people Tweet picked for King since scum would rather kill Tweet and confirm a new Kingmaker.

Do you mean the current push on barry or the previous one? Did Rugrat actively push Barry then as well?

hmmm, you did mention that earlier didn't you. We can't have MP execute himself though. Who was his other choice?

Jeff:
Pros - good player, active
Cons - possibly may get angry at someone

Ace:
Haven’t played with enough

Alco:
Pros - likely to be co-operative
Cons - May disappear and not usually active

Smark:
Pros - good player, active, easy to tell alignment of
Cons - potential to be unco-operative

Skybox:
Pros - active
Cons - makes wacky reads

Big Man:
Pros - active, good player
Cons - none

Buffy:
Idk noob

Char aznable:
Idk noob

Juice:
Idk noob

Tweetums:
Pros - good player, active
Cons - not sure yet

My preference is Big Man or Tweet tbh to be made king

Would King: Me, Tweet, Smark
Would not King : Sky, Rugrat
Null : The field

is where I am currently.

Tbh, you never explained your reasoning as to why you sus Rugrat or Sky. Sky is basically confirmed at this point so it's moot, but this early in the game what made you suspect of Rug?

I mean ultimately the main thing about whoever gets made king is that they shouldn't be someone who easily makes selfish decisions, ideally regardless on who is made king we'll be talking about who should get lynched and the king is just the one who brings the hammer down on who most people wanna see lynched. So the king should be someone who listens to reason and doesn't go rogue.

Wouldn't recommend any of the new guys for the job cause of "oh look I got a new toy" shenanigans tbh.

Who would you currently trust atm

Smark, Big Man, Alco would be on top of my list, a slight tier below that would be you, Rugrat, Ace, Sky and Barry. These aren't town reads or anything, just people who I know and who I trust to fulfill those criteria I mentioned. Rugrat can be a troll sometimes, Ace can just not appear at all, Sky and Barry have potential to be trigger happy and you sometimes get enraged and lose your composure.

Tweet saying he trusts Rugrat, but you suss him.

I would, I personally didn't rate his list very high at all. It felt thrown together hastily tbh

edit: not saying I necessarily disagree with his choices, my issue was more in the way he laid it out. also big man is active, or maybe he's not, idk shtick. I generally don't buy that shit, similar to how I don't really buy Sky's "i forgot smark was active as town".

I don't know about that, doesn't feel as low effort as you say

agree to disagree, then. it was rather simplistic imo, and looked like forced effort from a guy who generally gives 0 fucks about day 1.

This felt pretty forced to get a sussy read on Rugrat tbh.

I rate Rugrats list slightly town, activity and composure and being agreeable are good criteria by which to choose the first king and the list makes sense in that regard, but putting that together is something anyone can do as any alignment. While I don't think that list tells any lies about the players involved in order to nudge the kingmaker into making scum king, I also don't think there's a huge amount of value in scum being made king d1.

But the person you trusted most, Tweet, felt Rugrat was town at this juncture, but you never changed your read. I dunno. Just felt like you were trying to lean town towards Rugrat as the first kill.

 

[Smart Marx]

Do you mean the current push on barry or the previous one? Did Rugrat actively push Barry then as well?

He claimed Barry could be doing a Gambit, and then near the end of the phase said we should just kill him because we were tolerating his nonsense. Just a bad push when we know that's how town Barry acts like almost every time he's sussed day 1.

I don't have a read yet on current Barry, however. I'd need to see more from him today.
