What do you think about Neon atm?
Keep in mind Oreo linked nin to WSD, WSD wasn't active he might have told them to sacrifice him if push come to shove to survive.
Which made Dubs claimed of lunching WSD not that good.

I thought since she might be neutral we could kill her for sure. It would depend on who it turned out to be of course since I didn't think Reki was scum.I voted for malus though?
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
That was a good lynch! I'm guessing there's only 1 left? At most 2.
New Idea: Mass flavour claim. Most suspicious players go first to avoid them making it up after town claimed "good" roles?
(I wrote this before the night was over.)
The votes were:
oreomunsta (5 votes)
KetKat - #2,245
Z-Beat - #2,248
NeonBorealis - #2,252
lokiduck - #2,254
TheChuggernaut - #2,256
Ketkat was the first to go for oreo and then Z. I don't think they'd sell their scummates like this.
Oreo turned up at the end. His scummate must have alerted him. He claimed to be Onion, I think his last scummate might have given him idea, although as we knew it Onion already appeared and got killed. The power was rather random too. My theory: either it was Oreo who made it up on the fly, or his last scummate and he didn’t understand the characters. (We can rule out Ketkat and Z-beat now since they know the show.)
The last to show up was Chugg and Reki a little later. Reki also was the last one to vote for oreo.
Oreo said something about protecting Exo on his previous night. Which doesn’t make sense to me because as far as we know, Exo’s power is depleted and he is still suspected by some folks, which made his kill a waste.
Keep in mind that:
Neon once made a statement that showed he remember oreo’s schedule. He might have been the one who alerted Oreo once the heat was on Oreo:And this was oreo’s almost last post:Although this was Neon’s previous read.
Reki wanted to vote for Exo to remove all doubts. Reki is also not familiar with the show but he's killed so...
Chugg was also unfamiliar with the show, but he assisted in lunching oreo and he voted for oreo lynch a while back too.
Therefore, my guess atm:
Town:
Exo: I believe his story.
Loki: Helped with investigation.
Stan:
Ketkat: I think the fact that she voted for oreo really saved her in my eyes.
Null:
Chugg: Town > null, lean town. Only because he showed up just moment before oreo lunch.
Z-Beat: Scum > null lean scum. If he was a scum he really did a lot to sacrifice oreo. His posts were all over the place at EoD though it looked like he was trying to figure out who has saw’s final toy. He also made some weird guesses about Pearl up here.
Neon: Town > null.
Scum:
B-Dubs: Null > lean scum! I ran out of people on my list to suspect. It didn’t help that Oreo leaned town on him frequently and oreo started meatwad’s suspicion train only for Dubs to executed it. He didn't post much, I think it's because he didn't wanna put out anything discriminating.
My previous guess. @Chugg how do you feel about Z? You didn't agree with not lunching him.
PS.
We also found out why Saw was killed:
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day

That's not the case here. The day before his lunch I was following the thread. I even made a statement saying I suspected him.
When the day ended, with the votes before me and from Oreo deduction I concluded it was logical to vote for nin.
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
The deduction was because I thought the scums were early season villains, Peri, Jasper, Yellow Diamond and Lapis.
Since Jasper was already dead, and Lapis seemed more neutral I was picking between Yellow Diamond and Peridot. I went with Peri because I wanted his role to be her.
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
Town:
Exo: was constantly targeted.
Reki: I'm glad the power can be used during the day. I was fearing the worst for Reki if it took a night to use... (Although I think someone would protect him anyway if that was the case?)
Loki: No changes here.
Chugg: No changes.
Neon: No changes.
Stan: No changes.
Null:
Ketkat: Lean town atm. She contributed to scum hunting but aside from her big list, she hasn't been making any definite statements to defend anyone as far as I know. She might be saving herself for the accusations later, so it doesn't look inconsistent.
Dubs: Lean town atm. He was targeted quite a bit since he displayed his power. I try not to second guess this too much unless scums are masterminds.
oreo: Lean town. There are too many townie guesses for me right now, I think I'd put him in the 60% town rather than 70-80% being town. Wild guess: being scum makes him very nervous and he didn't post a lot because he's afraid we'd find out.
Scum:
Z-Beat.Pretty much.
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
My theory is saw's kill was because either:
1 Scums has an ability to learn about player's powers, they used it on saw because she was a gacha machine.
2 Saw was very active.
In hindsight, it was a mistake to NK Saw. It didn't put any suspicion on any town. Poor move there, scums! :p
Recap with highlights from last day, sorry for the wall of text:
- Malus accused exo of being a scum. He claimed he had a role that pointed out exo was a scum and he didn't get killed because the kill would be absorbed by exo anyway.
- loki stated she suspected Z after malus x exo exchange.
- Dubs was on oreo and WSD train. (WSD > malus turned out to be scum. I think he had a helpful contribution so far.)
- Ketkat called Malus out on his power because WSD never mentioned it. True.
- No kill discussion.
- Reki argued double vote is usually town. Reki suggested using a lie detector. < Legendary move.
- Neon was a bit reluctant because Reki reads null to him, but jumped on the train. Everyone jumped on.
- Neon asked for opinions, Z-beat stated something bothered him without saying why. < He might be nervous because we're doing spy check. Keep in mind he was stated he's always in agreement with Reki.- Kong apologised to nin. t__t
- Reki called out Z's second time making the "something smells but I can't point out the source" comment.
- Stan disagreed with malus because exo seemed more town than scum to him.
- We found out the power can be used during the day.
- Loki and Chugg were against mass claim. (Not sure what this is. I'm guessing turbo?)
- Chugg thought exo was town. He suspected from B - Z. Oreo too because nin flipped town.
- We argued why scums haven't killed B yet. We still wondered if B was really Sugilite.
- Kong freaked out from losing too many towns.
- Malus wanted to confuse the well-oiled system to get him out of being lunched. Malus thought we shouldn't investigate B. < Scum protecting scum or just to confuse us? I suspect the latter.
- Dubs still suspected Exo because he lied about his power. His other targets were Malus and Z. I see B and Malus were sort of on the opposite side here. I think I'm leaning town Dubs now.
- Exo thought Reki focused too much on oreo and it'd look bad if oreo was town. Exo also sort of suspected Neon because of his voting pattern but he agreed with his vote's logic.
- Malus made his top 3 suspects: exodus, Z-beat, Kong. He was still on exo train. Putting Z in the second would avoid suspicion on him because Z was a popular scum guess. He also suspected oreo.
- I commented:And I lynched him anyway. : oZ gave his more elaborated thought on why he thought why he felt something was wrong.
I think it's safe to say Reki is town now. Exo, too.
- Ketkat suspected Oreomunsta and Z the most. Her other suspects: Malus, Exodus, Reki, Stantastic. I think her logic was reasonable.Can I ask why you thought oreo would be killed by scums?
- Reki would like to read Ketkat but it's a majority vote for Malus.
- Dubs voted Z, which he explained in previous post. Dubs still thought Exo can still double vote but he's hiding it.
- Chugg was chugging again.
- Neon thought Kong was too "new" to function. I will neither deny or confirm.
- Kong wanted to dip bread in picklejuice to lower sodium intake, Ketkat doubted the method's effectiveness.
- Chugg found a burger in the fridge. (Game sort of derailed here, but it's fine.)
- A rare oreo appeared. He agreed with what we were doing. He town read exo and B, scum read malus.
- We were discussing whether to check exo and Malus.
- EoD. We got one.
oreo was part of the reasons people were convinced to vote for town nin and meatwad. (He thought meat had a weird accusatory vibe, and he put together nin and Z-beat interaction.) But he had two reads that named scums.
But he admitted it was a mistake on his part tho and it made him doubt his theory. It felt sincere so I think I'm leaning town on oreo now.
PS. Stan still owes us a photo of cat not vomitting.

I had my doubt on oreo up until his big post. It would be very bad for scums if he was one himself since he named 2 in one go: WSD and nin, and the deduction made logical sense too.
If nin turned out to be scum (I'm pretty sure he is) then Oreo would more likely be town and we'd have to look closer at WSD.

Town:

Why are there so many variations?! This doesn't help me at all!
If Dubs was a scum, that was a brilliant move because it's too jarring it's hard to put my fingers on it.

Going over EoD posts, nin reminded Devious to put his vote on Chugg, then Devious changed from oreo to Chugg.
We also have this exchange:It might be a correct guess that Devious is less active in scum chat and they tried to goad him into voting how they wanted.

Oreo breakdown sort of sold me on WSD tbh.

Based on your breakdown here I'd say Oreo is an easy target for scums. Nin's constant fidgeting on votes is very suspicious.
Right now I'd lean scums on nin (erratic voting pattern) , slight scum on Ket still (sorry, nothing personal, your late vote didn't help :( ) and Z.
How is Jasper a blocker? Is it because she captured gems?
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
A lot of null and town > null from the Zeke's lynching list.
How did Chugg go from slight town to null? They voted for each other, Zeke and Chugg. Chugg was very close to being lynched too. If they're both scums that would have been very very poor play and that they couldn't stand each other in scum chat.
Saw picked up the scent of Zeke and correctly lynched him. She could have stayed and swayed the vote but she didn't. Unless the plan was to sacrifice a scum.
These two guesses don't make sense to me.
I'll need to reread more interaction to decide on Ketkat. She voted Zeke out but it was at the end, from my view point it could be a sacrifice lynch cuz there was no way to save Zeke.
She posted a lot last night, hopefully there's something I can use.

If I was there at the time I'd probably still keep my vote on Kat.
I read town from you and Chugg from your two town votes, so no, not Chugg.
Oreo didn't interact much at day end so it was hard to tell.
I wasn't familiar with Zeke play style, but he named a town at the end seemed desperate. If he named them too early, someone else might have proved them wrong because they're Onion instead.
On reread, at the end nin didn't interact much with Zeke (they would interact a lot in scum chat already if nin was scum too) while persistently coming after Chugg who I read as town. Only at the end Nin offered his sympathy to Zeke.
If I vote right now it'd be on nin.

I re-read some previous player reads of everyone and most people haven't paid much attention to oreo.

ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
At this moment, I'm more suspicious of people who haven't posted much. They could be laughing at townies turning all on each other right now.
I wrote some death speculation and implications on day2, but I think I will hold back the whole list. I don't wanna give scums killing idea. I will just post some highlights.
Me: If I get killed, I'd suspect someone who I guessed townie since it's a safe kill. I don't think I'm closing in on any scum's trail.
oreomunsta: The first one to vote and the first to put suspicion on meat too. I suppose his death would make it clear townies turned on each other for no reason and the scums are very inactive.
Stan: He doesn't post much. It could be an easy kill for scums. Devious voted on him and Devious doesn't post much either. It could be 50/50 Devious was in scum chat and voted according to the other scum's suggestion.
Dubs: He has very powerful ability against scums. They try to prevent him potentially kill 2 scums in a day.
KetKat: Reading KetKat's posts on day 2. She is just following the popular trend and plays very safe. I somewhat suspect she's scum right now. Since she plays safe, her death proves nothing imo. It could be an easy kill for scums.
exodus: Just like Dubs, he's at the most risk to be killed atm considering his skillset and revealed role. The one who kills him could be someone who prodded others into questioning his abilities, but not directly interact with him.
Chugg: Dangerous townie. If Chugg is killed, neeks will be very scrutinised since they both voted for wee and meat.
Neeks: See above but reversed.
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
Then I don't think we can suspect BOTH Neon and Dubs. After Dubs used his power, Neon was the first to guess correctly his flavour name and eventually Dubs confirmed it.
If they were both scums, it makes more sense Neon would have tried to stay away from naming Dubs and only probed him to reveal it, so Neon doesn't look like he knows too much about Dubs.
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
I'm atm most wary of KetKat. She has only been commenting on events that have happened but she isn't trying to go out of her way to scum hunt.

I suspect oreo all the same.I notice this too. They could be empty posts to prove he's actively scum hunting.

That meat townie really put me off the investigation. I don't trust a few of my townie guesses right now.
It is possible either saw or Chugg is scum unless they're really bad at hunting scums or scums are very inactive in this game.
Oreo was pushing for meat removal too.
If they have given Dubs day kill ability, isn't that too OP? I still stand by Dubs being careless townie for now that did double homicides. Is there an arrest option in Mafia??

Chance is none of the scum voted on Wee's removal on D1.
I see Wee voted for meatwad but meatwad wasn't trying to defend himself. With only one vote on him, he must have felt he was safe from lynching.She can do that? That's mad.I think his reasoning makes sense so far.Everyone is tired. It's the weekend thing?
ThreadSteven Universe Mafia |OT| We'll always save the day
Zeke: *truffleshuffle* He's consistently against flavour discussion since it could help scums. The reasoning is their "supposed" powers can assist scums in taking out the more dangerous townies (I agree with this now.) At odd with Chuggs. Protective of Exodus. Eventually voted Chuggs. GUESS: More likely town.
Sawneeks: Very friendly, but evil can be friendly too. First vote: L_P, trying to get him to come out of his shell. Interact with nin quite a bit. Her logic is reasonable so far. Very active in guessing town AND scums. GUESS: Town.
Z-beat: Suspected Dubs based on meta game on last game, for defending Exodus. Suspicious of Exodus who wouldn't give out his true name. A lot of reasonable activity here. GUESS: More likely town.That's wicked, Doc.I'm bringing up this old shame. I broke 3 rules in a day v__v
Chuggs: He's very active in hunting scums to the point of compromising himself to other scum hunters. GUESS: Town.
nin: An enigma. He disagrees with Exodus revealing his powers. He reads like a scum hunter. GUESS: Town.Don't lynch me. :<
lokiduck: She reads like a new player actively participating in the game. She answered questions interrogation reasonably. GUESS: Town.

Meatwad: Cool avatar aside, first day Meatwad only passively hunt scums. He claimed he's not leaning town on talkative people but eventually voted for Devious (lowest post.) He seems defensive of being questioned and bringing out not voting Wee as a reason. And for my reason 3 posts above: GUESS: Leaning scum.

Reading through L_P posts, he wasn't on anyone's trail specifically. He was bantering with Sawneeks, then Z-Beat, then back to Saw and then Stan.
Most of his interaction with Saw was to gauge whether Saw belongs to his interpretation of town or scum.
His murder was probably not because he was close to a conclusion.
I'm going through from lowest post counts:
Devious has been on Stan's trail since his vote for weed. Probably nothing though. I'm leaning new townie. GUESS: Townie.
oreomunsta reads like a nervous town to me. I'm not fully convined of his pick on day 1: Devious. He was defensive of town wee, it all could be a ruse where he'd name anyone except the ones scums are going to kill. GUESS: Townie.
Neon first eyed Chuggs, but his reasoning was inline with his experience with the game. His target eventually moved to Exodus but it was clarified there's no neutral role in this game. (I didn't know there're neutral roles in mafia games?) I think he might be town. GUESS: Townie.
Exodus: I think he's more likely guessed town, based on his role powers. He actively hunts scums and he is constantly on Zeke's trail. GUESS: More likely townie.
B-Dubs: He posted a lot more than I thought, but a lot of it were to discuss Exodus' powers. He's not actively scum hunting, but he's not trying to protect any towns either. GUESS: ???
Ketkat: She reverse read Wee and voted for her because Wee's suspicion of Chuggs seemed empty. She's protective of low posters (L_P who was murdered), this could have been the plan all along to throw us off her scent. She seems to be curious of Exodus' flavour character (I'd be too,) and wee's powers. Her reasoning is reasonable so far. She reads like an earnest but active scum hunter. GUESS: Townie.
Reki: They have a soft spot for Sawneeks. Their last read was on oreomunsta, because they can't figure oreo out. Reki reads like they are hunting town, but they try to keep it low key. I don't have enough information here to go on. GUESS: ???

I suppose no scums would out themselves by making any threatening messages, in this case: If I was a scum, I wouldn't kill loki.
However, this might have been you trying to do reverse psychology to get us to think so. And in that case, you'd know she's innocent because scums know each other and you're trying to get everyone to play nice with the new player.

ThreadWhy women criticise sexualised character designs |OT2| I have no pants and I must scream (READ OP)
While a lot of games would do the lazy approach and make Lust a half-naked woman.
Darksiders 3's Lust is androgynous and they are pretty cool too. A great overlooked 2018 game to boot.
This demo was so damn intense. Completed it in 22 minutes, no retries, only because I ran past all the imminent zombie groups in terror. Somehow still managed to find the keys.
I reckon this is something I'll pick up once the price has been reduced, in case I'm too freaked out to complete it. I wish the demo has Claire segment as well.
ThreadCrazy Ex Girlfriend: The Final Season |OT| She Plead Guilty For the Symbolism of it.
This is some good analysis. For 1), I think the education system itself neglects addressing female problems (for example: they'd teach how male students can have safe sex by putting on condoms, but not focussing on how sex is like for women), not just them being prudes or whatever.
I always appreciate CEG addressing real problems and be informative to viewers.I've never seen the original one. :/

ThreadGranblue Fantasy Project Re: Link direct feed gameplay video
I like how this game doesn't do cell-shading. We have a lot of cell-shaded jrpgs it's nice to see different styles.
The effects are great! I like how her attacks would increase the skill bar and she'd use it on different abilities. Is this similar to the mobage?
ThreadGranblue Fantasy Project Re: Link direct feed gameplay video
Tales of games and Persona 5. I'm unsure if Zelda counts as an RPG or not.
I prefer painting look such as Aterlier games, Night of Azure or something similar. This looks great too.
ThreadWould you be interested in a Tomb Raider reboot with Lara Croft as a black woman?
Why not? They should also replace Jonah with a female sidekick too.
For a game with a female lead, the side roster is filled with males. Heck, all enemies/mooks are men too.
The biggest problem with SotM isn't that it is lengthy or challenging, it lacks variety.
I even found something like Sen's fortress or DS3 catacombs enjoyable. Between combat, they also had traps / shortcuts / environmental obstacles. Whereas Ashen just threw enemies after enemies at you.
I think I'm at the penultimate area in the game, spear enemies are boring to fight and extremely annoying.
I thought Kingdom Two Crowns was a sidescroller when I tried it. Talk about completely defying expectation...

No. It was too long for me. Still managed to finish it though.

I loved though, that was cute.

I think it will turn out fine. A lot of characters I didn't like grew on me, like that ordinary guy in the office that I can never remember his name.

ThreadAtelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings |OT| A Slice-of-Life RPG
Skipped the previous one. I like the design of the twin better.
I like the recurring appearance in these games. It's going to be interesting to revisit Sophie and Plachta.
I can't do this haha! Stroud was no one to me so it's easier to sacrifice him. Every time. Yeah I can't off Hawke either... She deserves some off time with Isabela after what they went through in 2.
Inquisitor could build a relationship with Solas, platonic or not. It feels right if they can confront him. If anything it'll be an off hand remark just like in previous games, unfortunately. Too many choices to account for.
It's not as rewarding as a City Elf origin, but it gives you some nuances when choosing which one to back.
Inquisitor should be safe after Trespasser, correct? Since the hand is removed. By DA Dread wolf, she would only go to Tevinter as an obligation to stop Solas. I wonder if the ending affected whether Inquisitor would make a move or just stay back.
On the subject of Hawke, I read a few comments on how Hawke's sacrifice is fitting for the character, considering how tragic Hawke's life is. (I'd never do it of course.)Origins expansion is great! It's one of the first base building system I enjoyed. I think you'll like the DA2's character appearances.
I bet Inquisitor will be back as a side character like Hawke. I hope they make it optional to sacrifice them if it comes to that. It's great/more personal if you picked a dwarf. Broodmother made it worth it though!She's morally complex but her motivation and actions can be all justified. I can't praise the writing enough!
Origins has been on my list to replay for years... but then I remember that 10 hours Orzammar trek.
DA2 is also the only one I haven't completed on Nightmare, must get that on the list too.
Keeping the tradition of the old game, the protagonist is probably a new character. Part of me hope we can also choose to play as either Hawke or Inquisitor, but that sounds like too many choices to account for.We may get to see Grey Wardens riding griffon to the war, fighting 2 Archdemons in the Deep Roads if they really want to bring the Age of Dragon to a conclusion.Thanks, I will give this a watch.
Odd way to intepret a bald head on a drawing then. :/
Why would Solas be fighting against the Dread Wolf? Red eyes too, is he affected by Red Lyrium?If they make it more "epic", I'd love to also explore Rivain, Antiva's neighbour.

ThreadNew Obsidian/TakeTwo Sci-Fi RPG will be announced during TGA's
I'm very hyped for this announcement.
Although I gotta say Obsidian has a bad track record with bugs in third person RPGs. I sort of prefer their crpgs in general.
They're making it harder to justify day-one purchases, and I was excited for this game too.
I will wait another month for them to smoothen rough edges.
ThreadWhy call some games RPG-lite even though they're more RPG than most JRPGs?
Extra credits has some episodes on this:
JRPGs, of late, do offer some degree of customisations. For example with Pokemon or Persona series, you can have your team of monsters with different attacks and stats.
In JRPGs, it feels like you play the role of the character, rather than being your own character.
Pretty much.
ThreadPathfinder: Kingmaker |OT| Pen and Paper Not Included
This game is great! I just got my land. It feels a lot like the original Baldur's gate, which I like.

Yeah, I'm using a custom made portrait right now. :)

ThreadSuper Eyepatch Wolf: The Problem with Silent Hill 3: The Fall of Team Silent
Great video, as always. I never connected the mirror comment to the locked room with mirror when I played it, but it makes sense.
I preferred SH3 to SH2 regardless. It was a perfect SH game imo. The visual effects and musics were better, I even thought the story was a little more engaging. Heather was more relatable to me, too.
(SH2 had the best designed monsters though.)
I'm happy to have other horror games taking over because it is difficult to bring back that exact SH atmosphere, moody and dreary, yet believable and the early console janks.
Even P.T didn't feel like a Silent Hill game to me. The approach was completely different.
ThreadLaidlaw: Dragon Age 4's dev team was reduced to "a very small skeleton crew” [UP: ominous tweet]
It would be strange to have MS buying a studio from another big company like EA. If only Bioware was still independent.
A possibility is MS renting out the license from EA, given the excuse that the original Mass effect was exclusive on Xbox 360 for a while, then on PC.
I did too. It was intimate.
If it did not have the Dragon Age name on the logo, it would probably be remembered as one cult AA RPG classic that's clunky but fun.

It does not make any sense.
ThreadLaidlaw: Dragon Age 4's dev team was reduced to "a very small skeleton crew” [UP: ominous tweet]

ThreadThe Haunting of Hill House - TV's first great horror series - Friday, Oct 12 on Netflix
I really really really hated the jump scares in this show. The story was intriguing enough to keep going till the end though.
The acting was mostly decent, but Adult!Theo stood out to me as the main character who has the worst performance, especially her monologues felt too "fake" and poorly delivered. Young!Theo on the other hand was fun to watch.
Talk about monologues, some of these lines sound like something no one would actually say out loud, for example in the near final episode.
Got the ending at last.
I was a bit reluctant to do Artifact quests at first but they always end up being some of the best quests. I have the last one to go in Lesbos, which needs some levelling up to do.
October 2018:(PC) - 90 hours. ★★★★ Amazing RPG! The first game has the best combat system in all cRPGs and this one just managed to top that. Beautiful music, visual, somewhat seamless coop too. The best game I have finished this year. (PC/Mobile) - 5 hours. ★★★☆ Fun deck building game, easy to pick up and play. The digital version has so many stand-alone sets to try, Storm of Souls is my fav so far. (PC) - 7 hours. ★★☆☆ A pick-up and play type of game to kill time. This board game's system has always been a bit iffy to me, digital version added a . It relies too much on chance and dice rolls on "Classic" mode, where you are bombarded with chance Encounters beyond your control. Thankfully there's an Exploration mode that improves the game and makes it more enjoyable. (XBO) - 18 hours. ★★★★ It is not a huge improvements compared to FH3. I find new progression system makes sense in this series, where you are encouraged to play however you like. (PC) - 5 hours. ★★☆☆ It is an interesting competitive board game with a decent amount of customisations and variety. I enjoyed the art, but it failed to really click with me though.
