I mean that's not totally unreasonable to me if scum has some way of keeping Opop in check so that his information is useless. It's a pretty common scum gambit to leave a PR alive if you have someone loving with their results every night.

I'm not saying Opop isn't scum rn, I'm just entertaining the counterargument.

Anarc probably tracked Opop Night 2 and didn't have an action Night 1 because according to their claim they only inherited Plastic's role after his death Night 1.

I also found this quote, which is pretty great now.

oh yeah there was the drip-fed comment that opop went nowhere.

so it seems like n2 opop, n3 zoya

Idle corrections to dumb thoughts I had: If it was just "first non-vanilla townie to die" shouldn't TPC have inherited Cube's Umpire instead of cob's Billboard?

We've seen the billboard in action so I don't know if that's really anything, and despite seemingly being Town Cube's role did sound a bit like a 3rd Party, but I digress.

so we have two masons, two role backups, 1 watcher, 1 tracker, and one jailer. it'll be really strange if theres a redirector because it doesnt fit with the group at all. feels like we're missing a doc more than anything.

I actually asked the mods about this on night two because I was confused, and they said it was because cubes ability was not from his role but from his town assignment

Actually a redirector would also work with the way roles were assigned.

All the roles as given out (Messenger, 2 Masons, 2 Backups, Tracker, Watcher, Jailer, Dayvig) are roles that don't typically have an alignment assigned to them or can be both scum or town.

I'm actually starting to believe Anarc now, poo poo.

CubicalSucrose, TOWN-Aligned Short Stop Umpire has been taken off the field!

quote:
You are playing Short Stop! As part of the infield you are too busy playing the game of baseball to focus on anything else. You are Vanilla and have no night actions. You win when all threats to town have been eliminated. But also, you were picked last! Again! Every time you get picked last! (Mod note: You weren't actually picked last, this was random.)

Well, this time you'll show them. You volunteered to be the umpire for the game, the impartial arbiter of rules and fair-play. In truth you are anything but impartial, your goal now is to make those coaches pay. If you are still alive and both coaches have been eliminated from the game you may ##abscond at any time. If you do so you will leave the game and be victorious. To that end you plan to abuse your umpire powers to toss players out of the game. Once per night you may target a player with the ##Toss out of Game. That player will be eliminated. You have two activations of this power for the entire game. However, if you use both activations, and there are still coaches left in play, you will be eliminated for abuse of your powers.

Cloaca has seemed scummy this game to me because of the lurking, but after the Zoya flip and because of her headache explanation, it is possible to explain with real world circumstances. Opop and anarc seems so much stranger to me on a mechanical level on top of their lurkiness

I mean those real world circumstances could also be "lurking scum now realizes they're close to winning the game and has to play".

I still don't like the way she immediately assumed a connection the second two people moves off opop.

That's the read I got from it, yeah. It's why I'm currently sitting on "one of opop or clo is scum but probably not both", and her vote still being on opop.

There's also these comments which is just blaring sirens in my ears:

If Opop was town, scum could have rushed him already.

He's either scum or there is/was scum on his vote.

without gaming the mod, i'm not sure about a bus driver / redirector. if it was a scum role (and we've not had a town claim of one), it'd give that team a serious advantage over the other team.

seems like a convenient way to excuse away a lack of results.

i'm still fine with opop for what i said yesterday. in addition, i'm kinda bugged by his n1 target of gulag. seems like a target you pick to see what town visit, not what scum visit, if you know what i mean? like, a returning player is rarely going to be offed n1. maybe that's just me.

i'm actually okay with his n2 target of you (wolo) from a town mindset.

n3 anarc ehhhh i'm not sure on. sub optimal at worst, i guess.


no results across the three of them though.. monathin's point that they seem to be considered, 'safe' targets, rather than informative ones.
