I can see that, based on flips and our own roles and colors we should probably have a pretty good guess as to what setup we are in tomorrow.

Actually, scratch that. Barring an Oracle flip, I have a better idea.

Everyone discloses the one setup it can't be.

This doesn't seem like a great proposition for any Vanilla Townies. Though it's also that I've been burned before by trying to solve setups. I wouldn't mind seeing more people weigh in on CCKeane. The fact that all 7 of us have checked in now means either there is no Oracle to counter-claim or the Oracle wishes to remain silent. Either way such a big splashy play seems more scummy to me than anything, but I'd like to get more opinions.

The only people who would know what setup it isn't are scum and PRs. The fact that you didn't recognize that makes me think that you do have an idea of what set-up it isn't.

You're an idiot.

    Exhibit A

    Configuration A: Ruled out publicly by two Red Town flips OR Red Cop flip OR Blue Scum flip.

    Configuration B: Ruled out publicly by two Blue Town flips OR Blue Cop flip OR Red Scum flip.

    Configuration C: Ruled out publicly by two Red Town flips OR Blue Cop flip.

    Configuration D: Ruled out publicly by two Blue Town flips OR Blue Cop flip.

    Exhibit B

    All games are solvable to at least one role with no more than two deaths.

Therefore, public knowledge will rule out one game type on Day 2. The remainder of the roles can then be determined by what people say the game isn't.

It's a less stupid idea than I thought, but still really stupid.

That plan requires all the vanilla town to claim. Not just a couple, all of them, because you bet your rear end scum aren't going to make it obvious that they're not VT. So we'll get a couple ideas on "hey maybe this person is lying", but in the process, we'll also call out our PR(s?).

It's a decent idea for tomorrow, because if we miss today, we'll be in LYLO. And then we'll have some flips to verify who's telling the truth and who's lying. But for Day 1, that seems like an incredibly bad idea.

Nah, it doesn't require all of the vanilla townspeople to claim.

I am leaving "what roles could disavow what setup" entirely as an exercise for the reader, however.

No it isn't, there is literally no reason for scum to do that.

Also, I am on PM and Kleedrac because their actions do not make sense for somebody who was looking to kill scum.

Like, for real, give me one way their posts of "I am town and I am not going to do that" helps kill scum.

I asked for a color. He gave me color and role, likely in an attempt to seem more personable and reasonable to the rest of the game. Sort of like Billy Mays, minus the cocaine and yelling.

As for Meds thing about PM I'm not sure it's scummy enough to warrant a vote.

This is the start of Kleedrac's scumminess. This is a "I am a helpful townie post!" that means nothing, especially since the vote in question was against the mod of the game. Kleedrac wasn't paying attention but wanted to jump in with a safe two cents.

Kleedrac posted:

This. [Edit for context: "If scum claim I will vote for them"]

This is a VERY SCUMMY MOVE because it is a post that literally only benefits scum. Town would play it like CPig or Hiipfire did - confused or seeing an opening an agree. By discouraging the scum from claiming town would be actively working against their win condition.

Kleedrac posted:

What changed was that you did something extremely scummy - I shall explain;

There are 4 setups possible in this game, Configurations A and B involve a scumteam with the same color alignment and a lack of the Oracle. Configurations C and D have scum teams with opposing colors but the town gains an oracle. I stand by what I said earlier;


The only way someone could claim this power role day 1 safely is if they know the role is theirs or not in the game. If you are scum - and you have discussed with your scummate your colors - and they matched; you would know for a fact there is no Oracle and it becomes a safe claim. I think you did know it was a safe claim and for the latter reason. You sir, are scum!

This is a nonsense post that is made because he is angry I fingered him. He quick voted after saying he wouldn't and comes in with a transparently flawed case (Assuming scum would discuss color in a game where color matters a great deal). This is a OMGUS case.

1) I had barely rolled out of bed and hadn't processed enough caffeine - you're an idiot

2) I disagree - your gambit was retarded and saying "I will vote for scum" is somehow scummy?! Dream on man.

3) The vote was perhaps an OMGUS but my case was solid - it's not unreasonable to think the scumteam who have the advantage of out-of-thread communication would still find that a better method of victory than the color gimmick.

4) Perhaps I'm helpful to the townies because I'm town :P I am concerned if there's an oracle in fact - though that is more due to me trying to figure out which setup out of curiosity - and the oracle gets color info not alignment info so I'm not sure why a scumteam would care.

5) That post was asking for the post I'm currently responding to - you basically spent too long railing me with nothing but blind accusations and no case - at least now you've rectified that though your case is weak.

I regret taking my vote off of you - I'm going to rectify that now as you're definitely scum - no town in a 7 player game would rail and flail like this
