this ain't it

"i roleblocked someone, who also has a roleblock, but i think i was roleblocked"

 

[M&F]

Suspicion hangs thick in the air as the contestants question the truth of the "simple accident" from earlier, but decisive actions stall over high-profile disagreements.

24-hour time extension.

i don't think i was roleblocked, no... read the post again

i've seen nothing to suggest you didn't use the move you said you did, or that i failed to block it

also phew i can safely go to bed. zzz

i realise we never asked @M&F what happens if there's a tie (in the absence of roles affecting it). i assume you just rand it?

still curious about this btw @M&F ! in case you get a moment

(tie in the popular contest type, not the yeet poll, since the quote lacks context)

 

[RNP]

i am int he midst of scarfing down a bowl of soup on break my reading comprehension may suffer as a result

anyways; again, you gotta be lying. you just gotta be. i can not believe all your roles are roleblockers, because that would be stupid

 

[RNP]

if it is true then mf first of all stop laughing at me in spectator chat and second of all come on mf you're better than this

i’ll catch up later. just woke up B)

shrugs! and yet they are. i don't have anything else to tell you i'm afraid. sande and jack both said they had sets of similar moves too, maybe consult with them.

no guarantee that this will be An Indicator, but in case it is: qenya, if you feel comfortable, would you be able to give any description as to how your roleblocks are differentiated from each other? I am curious whether it will be similar to mine, in which case I would be much more comfortable believing your claim

 

[JackPK]

to clarify, *mine meaning "my similar moves", of course (not "my roleblocks", I am not claiming roleblocks)

 

[Stryke]

I mean I can lurk I just can't really make like long posts. I will try to gather my thoughts faster though!

says he'll lurk and then proceeds to completely ignore thread for 5 hours, completely missing when EoD was supposed to be

Anyway, I'm sort of with RNP in that having 4 moves still seems a bit off to me, and I'm still not completely convinced that there's not something more to that there. However, after qenya said her piece, it did strike me as extremely odd that she openly admitted it. Like, if you saw everyone else claiming that they had all 5 types, and you didn't, it would likely be MORE to your advantage to go with the crowd and make up some BS inoffensive 5th move to not stick out from the norm. It's not exactly an easy thing to disprove either, so the fact that qenya came forward with that at all while knowing it may draw some suspicion to her is kinda giving me a townlean.

 

[RNP]

stryke one time i openly admitted to strapping a bomb to someone's chest and the person with a bomb on their chest (hi herbe) townread me

the meta is in shambles

 

[sanderidge]

more discussion! more discussion! i cannot contribute anything useful but i am here!

 

[M&F]

yeah, I'd rand it; I've considered using each type's total appeal score in the night as a tiebreaker, but eh, too bis in idem

 

[mewtini]

lol i read the things i missed but don’t know what to do

thank you. i keep saying this. i was under no suspicion at all (except apparently privately from herbe fsr) before i volunteered the fact that i only had 4 moves. why would i make something up that makes me sound more suspicious? do y'all think i want to be yeeted?

hmm... i kept it secret out of habit but, sure, i think it would be quite hard to take advantage of. my moves are the four combinations of "only blocks high-appeal moves" vs "only blocks low-appeal moves" (the exact cutoff i will keep private, i think...) and "blocks the target earning appeal as well" vs "only blocks the effect". petal blizzard is obviously the one that only blocks high-appeal moves and doesn't block the target earning appeal.
