What do you mean 'no performing monkeys'?
Anyone critique this plan:

Lynch MC ED because of scumminess followed by meltdown claim as Busdriver, a typically anti-town role, that's apparently mandatory (red flag) and we have lost no town players yet, 3 with claimed roles that have gone uncontested (doc, cop, tracker).

Merk is right, he is one of the only people with no content and is absolutely someone you do not want in lategame. Hal has low content, but I tracked him last night and unless you think there are 2 scum remaining you should discount that we are working together. Hal is likely town, and he can verify that he isn't doing NK's if he targets merk with poison tonight and there is still a NK. There are obviously opportunities for WIFOM, but I can't see scum withholding a NK (not always possible).

From a setup POV, I kind of buy having a town bus driver, I guess. There is something twisted about having a town poisoner and a busdriver and the hilarious results that might come from that. Same with tracker poisoner, it's can lead to confusing and hilarious scenarios.

For crimes against townitude, a meltdown claim and a scumrole that could undermine the fact that we're probably going to be heavily reliant on town power roles especially after a full claim to figure out the last scum, MC ED cannot be allowed to live. Merk should be targetted by Hal tonight

I think anyone who reads my poo poo re: narc can see that I actively steered the lynch towards narc, when I was being the most vocal player, and away from accountant who I don't really know the alignment of but I assume is town. If you want to try to verify me through making me target someone, I guess whatever I'll go with it. If there is still a NK and I prove I tracked then it should dispel most other concerns.

Regardless of your alignment you've been incredibly unpleasant and you should take yourself less seriously. I reread myself because I was worried I might have been out of line this game, but naw I tried hard to be civil.

What do you mean 'no performing monkeys'?
merk you are wrong and also stupid.

I made my list post where I said narc was probably scum when I didn't need to as a scum, I pursued somb until such a time as the thread wanted a swingvote and I actively steered people away from accountantman onto narc.

I thought a newbie scum like narc would do the usual thing of thinking "oh poo poo, I've ruined the game getting caught as scum d1" and that was probably a contributing factor towards her(?) replacement. I think you'll find my D1 read of narc was actually spot on throughout, I just wanted to kill somber more.

Also I would not bus a baby scum D1 like that, I would obviously vote em and whatnot if I had to - but as someone who was the most vocal I would not suddenly target them for any reason other than necessity. The necessity wasn't there, you are bad and should die as you offered.

re: Somber if I can track him, call a target he went to, verify it's not the victim then it's an easy way to drop my suspicion there.

also merk saying that 50% of mods allow NK + action is horseshit, what does that do to roles like trackers and watchers? If I track the scum I get "pisspants visited a and b" ? I have literally never seen that in a game and if you check votefinder I've played quite a few. It is absolutely nonstandard to do that, and the fact you said that implies you are much more likely to be scum.

Yeh I'm just going to avoid slap fights, honestly I don't understand how you could not see my counterpoints to what you were saying though. I'm sure you can understand why that doesn't result in a pleasant back and forth. When you pick out things like me saying I thought MC ED seemed sad as though that was just fluff I thought that was nonsense, D1 is largely about gut and if I say I think someone seemed sad so I don't want to vote them it obviously means something about their seeming sad makes me read townie.

One thing that does happen is that scum are told that roles aren't in a game as a fake claim. I can't discount that. It's nothing personal. Same thing with cop, a lot of mods recognise cops especially without the presence of a godfather suck, so they either make the cop a fakeclaim, have sanity issues or usually just put a godfather in.

Like Lumpen said that someone copping Ernie was a good idea. That was not a good idea. If Ernie was a scum with the level of bussing he's done he would be a godfather, hoping to ride early bussing and any cop investigations to the end. Ernie was probably the single worst person to cop last night.

He was a very good player to watch, and an okay player to doc imo.

No, no one uses cops and doctors as fake claims. They are standard roles for the town. Tracking me would be a complete waste of your action. It would be better to track MCED if anyone.

TheRam
Jan 15, 2009

What do you mean 'no performing monkeys'?
I've been in at least one game with a cop/doc fake claim on these here forums.

I agree that tracking you would be a stupid idea, but if the alternative is I die then I don't see why I wouldn't.

However, honestly merk looks super bad. That comment that 50% (or even anywhere near that) of mods let scum NK + roleblock, watch, w/e the usual scum powers are...

I was a tracker and I saw someone go two places and one was the NK victim it'd pretty much auto-confirm they are scum right? Unless their claim was busdriver or something. You think there'd be both a cop that can get a scum read on anyone (i.e. no godfather, sane) + a tracker who can get a drat near confirmed scum read by virtue of someone visiting two people and one dies.

Much more likely a scum that is followed by the tracker is only visits their victim, and then they have to argue why there were there. Often with claims like cop, and doc.

merk wants people to go through some serious mental gymnastics, his initial idea about killing him was good. I stand by killing the bus driver because he's mandatory by his own admission, potential scum and the town is in a safe enough place to do it alongside Hal killing merk in the proposed way.

You should let me live until later because I can track people and that's very handy, if you want to kill me off at a certain amount of days before lylo w/e, I think we'll win before then, moreso if I'm tracking people.

TheRam correctly claiming Hal went nowhere clears TheRam for me. I believe the Doc and Cop claims. I feel suspicious of Hal's claim, it seems like at least a partial lie. I believed MCED busdrives but may flip Scum. Met seems clears by vote and Numerrik I dunno. Merk seems Town enough but I dislike the slapfighting.

Yeah I'm masons with met but we're unconfirmed. I think they're town, though, because:

1. They have a mason-doc for us that's keeping track of how people are playing the game.
2. Just now during the claim they said "Would a townie mason win with scum mason if they both survived to the end?" which is an odd question for a scum to ask when they're in a doc with someone who was copped as town and tunneled hard by another scum.
