This is some bad false equivalence here. His two posts are talking about completely different things.

I suppose I can't rule out that I'm crazy, if no one is seeing my sign of this. But I've reread that stuff several times now and I'm still seeing it. I see what I see.

Not voting Cardinal today on account of being the guy that received the message, no matter how dumb.

I'll vote for Magnus. Eating Disorder is too adorable in his naivete, Ernie's case for lynch laughable, and I'm not suicidal enough to vote for me yet.

Besides, Magnus is in his standoffish rear end in a top hat mode, which is a decent indicator of scum for him.

I used Ninth as a body double last night, i.e, he'd take my place for the purposes of nightkills.

So, uh, good job, person who hates me.

I think this claim is nonsense. Either MC or MCS is lying about their role, imho. This much kill redirection does not make sense with what we've seen thus far.

Since no one else is seeing MC at the moment, I'll flip to MCS. But they are my top two.

Because of the bolded text, this opinion still seems wrong to me, fwiw. Like, I get what you are saying if there were TWO dead masons. At that point a third has absolutely no verification. But with only one dead confirmed town mason, a second mason claiming with no counter claim would pretty much be mod confirmed town for me. By the nature of the role, there have to be at least two.

What the hell is so hard about it?

A: Mod makes one guy a confirmed town mason with no masonry. This accomplishes nothing since he can't talk to anyone and nobody but him knows he's confirmed town.

B: Mod makes two masons who are confirmed town to each other. We have a normal masonry. One of them dies before claiming, the masonry is useless. The remaining mason is not confirmed anything because there's nothing but a single unverifiable claim.

Right now, I buy Asiina's claim because there's nothing else to oppose it. Her night actions click with mine. Nobody is counterclaiming her. However, she is confirmed nothing.

Is option A something you've actually seen before? Single town confirmed masons that flip as that when they die? That setup seems ridiculous to me. Who would do that?

I'm willing to unvote if you've got a convincing answer, but we're way too close to the end of D2 for me not to drop a vote and I just don't buy anonymously asking someone to roleclaim first thing on D2 as being in any way good for town

I chose the recipient randomly. I was not going to reveal my role, but the confusion of two messengers and a potential lynch forced me.

MC Eating Disorder posted:

ok I want to say I see the connection here but I don't and you're gonna have to elaborate a little more on this please

Because of MCS's lack of response, my assumption was that my message was not received due to a bus driver or he was scum.

Now that I think about it, even if he didn't want to roleclaim, he could have said "hey I got message last night too that told me to do this but I'm not!" and prevented a lot of confusion.

Combining this all together, I'm not thinking that's very "town behavior".

Nobody is confirmed anything as a result, except Ninth who is loving dead and still playing this game better than you are.

Also, Cardinal is apparently upset that I wouldn't breadcrumb bulletproof to an anonymous message. Clearly, not wanting to give away "Can't be killed by nightkills" to someone who might be scum is not town behavior.

I feel like you are the one that isn't getting it. But given I've had three interactions like this now with three different people in this game, you may well be right.

But let me break it down for you:

1.You say option A is impossible. No Mod would do that.
2. This means there are at least two confirmed town masons in the game because we have a mod confirmed flip saying that there was one.
3. This means an un-countered mason claim is CONFIRMED town because there HAVE to be two.

This seems like simple math to me. I'm not sure what is being missed.

Look, I get what you are saying. Blah blah no one is confirmed until flip yadda yadda. But this seems like a rare exception to me. Short of mod wankery, there would be two confirmed town masons in this game at the very least, after we saw one die and flip. If there wasn't a second there are very few excuses for why that would be:

A)Mod puts only one confirmed town mason in the game
B)Faked/wrong flip information about TNL

That is it really.
