BURSTS INTO THE THREAD AND GASPS IN A DEEP BREATH
***Early apology for angry troll rant. Angry? Oh...oh yes. Not as much as I'd be were I lynched for this bullshit, and I am much calmed down now (so this post will be a bit exaggerated). Still...warning that this post won't be as quirky or bubbly as usual.***

Kiyoko wrote:Tiki has the tendency to make himself look scummy just by existing, so he's not really the ideal silence target outside of a WIFOM siuation. Silencers tend to be maf-aligned, but I remember on vdex we had a meta where maf!silencers silenced their own to give their teammates an excuse not to spec, and then that became commonplace enough that we had the countermeta where maf!silencers silenced other quiet players to make it look like they were mafia silencing their own. That said, I think this is one of the first silencing roles to come into play on crywolf in general so this forum doesn't even have a meta for it yet.
nautilus wrote:But I think for me it's really weird for Tiki to be the kind of person to be targeted by a silencing action... Hmmmm.
shrine guardian ezz wrote:curious about the wounding. since it nullifies a vote as well, sounds like a maf role to me. tiki is an... interesting target for it, to say the least.
nautilus wrote:I still think the silence on Tiki is weird as all get out, because even though there isn't an established silencer meta it still screams that it's strange as hell for someone like Tiki to be silenced? Tiki normally gets lynched thanks to being scummy, and even if mafia was trying to do the ... incredibly complex, overlayed "mafia wants town to think town who was silenced is mafia being silenced by mafia" Tiki is scummy enough that he tends to be lynched just by doing Tiki things, so I feel like it's weird that they'd expend a silence on Tiki.
I feel like it's either a mafia deliberate self-silence or Tiki was driven with someone else who was the original silence target, tbh.
THE
Kiyoko wrote:Otherwise I'd also be down to lynch Tiki because this silencing thing is weird, but I don't have a strong reasoning for this besides that I think it's more likely for maf to silence their own than to silence a quiet town but again, I'm not 100% sold on this.

nautilus wrote:I'm going to vote: Tiki the Troll purely on the fact that the silencing thing is weird; I'm fully aware he can't defend himself right now so I don't blame anyone if they don't want to jump onto the vote for reasons.
FUCK

For what it's worth I do want more discussion on other things, like the silence on Tiki w...hich I still find pretty weird tbh (Tiki I hope you post in-thread after your silence is over B( !!), stuns/jails, etc.,
OH, BELIEVE ME
IT'S COMING
Kiyoko wrote:Not sure how I feel about lynching Tiki this phase since he can't talk so if he flips town we miss out on a lot of potential information.
Upside: coulda been SO much worse...

also ok this might be really dumb, but
i know that it might be a really small chance, but i don't think we should super rule out that tiki might not be the "wounder" (NOT THAT WE ARE!!), since apparently the mirror and the return might both be in play, and that makes it possible for actions to probably get bounced back??
THAT

Is actually a pretty clever argument, Blaire.
BUT NO

Not a bad theory.
ヾangel★★★★★彡◦°˚☆ wrote:@Raie - ah just to be clear, I don't have any outside information that supports my theory, it just seemed to make the most sense to me since I felt like most other people were like why would tiki be silenced??? but that's just what i was proposing.
Damn...

HI NEW BEST FRIEND
nautilus wrote:(though I'm open to swapping because Tiki can't speak and I kind of feel... guilty... for voting on him because he can't spea... k...)
Not entirely sure I'm buying that one. More to come on why, probably in a later post, after the rant is out of my system.
nautilus wrote:Tiki, you better have a lot of cool, interesting things to say once you're unsilenced. I've seen you around. You just want to talk, don't you <o><o>
Oh, NAH
Nah, I just wanted to spend the entirety of my day off, perhaps the only day off i'll have while alive in this game, reading about why people think I'm too scummy/shitty at spec to be a viable target for a silence (to be fair...I don't disagree, really), without some ulterior motive.
Nah, I didn't wanna play the game, at all, that's why I signed up, right?

Maaaaaybe made me a li'l crazy.
plotstickers wrote:If only Tiki could communicate through gifs.
Actually, Ninfia did say I could post pictures to show my reactions (nothing that could cause spec), but I didn't want anythone to think I was making spec, or misinterpret what I was showing.
Luxaria wrote:I have no idea how to comment on the silence on Tiki. I've never/rarely seen it in play before (I think? There might have been one in b&b... either on Blaire or Tiki, I think??). I wonder if the "Wounded" aspect means anything to anyone. That wording seems particular? I know wounded effects typically mean the player's going to die, but that just... seems weird to make it such that he's already doomed to die but also cannot vote or speak. Idk.
The theory of Tiki being driven with another player is interesting, and it could actually be plausible, but... would mafia really originally place their silence on someone likely to be on the other end of a bus with Tiki? That'd be a player you'd want to avoid "clearing", which you may do by silencing them, and making a typically high speculator silent D1 isn't going to be as effective as later phases when there's more to work on? Or if we apply the WIFOM we've been entertaining for Tiki, you could be trying to frame this target, I guess, or make them look town if they're mafia. I re-iterate that I've very rarely seen a silence role so this is where I kind of just figure I'll wait and see how this develops.

I'D LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HELL, TOO
I know I've said this before, and never really been able to fulfill the promise (see: Lux dodging every NK I've ever thrown at her), but to whoever did this:
But anyway, all this salt and unhappy trollness, there is NO WAY I would agree to be silenced as part of a team strat, esp. on my day off. I like to actually talk and joke around with you people (still <3 everyone here). Besides, it would be a STUPIDLY obvious strategy to use. My proof?
