I think its probably leaning more towards town for me. I don't see why a scum would be doctor-proof.

Actually I don't get why ANYBODY would be doctor-proof

So you believe her claim then.

hmm she claimed nothing can be blocked or redirected

it means anyone targeting mmt will target mmt with their action

that would be a terrible role if mmt is scum and there's a town cop and scum roleblocker in the game

it also means she's super-doctroable not doctor-proof

Also forgot to post since I saw this while I was getting ready for work, but for what it's worth I 'ed.

Game chat: nothing that targets me can be blocked or redirected. Please plan accordingly.

She isn't super doctorable.

If a night kill targets her, it CAN NOT be blocked. That's the impression that I got

I am here and town! It's these things:

- work for me is starting to ramp up (the moving company I work for doubles its staff for the April-October months)
- I'm in another game that's further along (D2 so there's more info to work with) with a deadline tonight
- in a recent game I opened D1 by making a lot of cases based on speculation and my observation was that (a) it stifled discussion more than generating it and (b) it made people think I was full of poo poo
- any votes I would cast at the moment would be guesswork at best

And yeah, all I really know is actions on me "can't be blocked or redirected". I'm not going to pretend to know the specifics of the rules interactions (like if using a doctor on a NK is a "blocked" action in the same vein that a roleblocker is).

I can't remember a single thing about this game before the weekend. Was there ever any actual mafiaing?

sure

everyone claim your roles because this game is based on loving with action targeting rather than normal gameplay which means the night-phase isn't going to help us much unless we play like this like One Night Ultimate Werewolf

of course there is. and now they know to use it to kill ernie n1, which means we lose the element of surprise ernie's power would have given us.

Good thing my power is the best!
I get a list of every Song that made a night action, and which song they targeted. I don't learn player names or action name though!

the reason i want a mass-claim is specifically this!

MMT is already unaffected by my power (i.e. anyone who targets MMT targets MMT), which means this game is going to be a mess of what ifs unless we start getting rid of the doubt now!

I wonder if my action will show who people originally targeted, or just everyone targeting ernie

No one has yet, but let me make it clear; revealing your song may be a bad idea in this game!

While I know that role != song, I'm suspicious of Ernie trying to solicit information after Byers revealed that scum can potentially abuse information.

(Oops I saw this reply when I hit "Preview" on mine.)

How does revealing our roles on D1 make the game less of a mess? I feel like a mass-claim on D1 is useless since scum will learn what town can do and then lie to town about what they can do.

Okay I got some clarification from Byers and now I definitely want to claim if we're claiming or this game will get out of hand VERY QUICKLY.

I'm a power swapper. I swap powers.

At night I target someone and I permanently steal their power (and any charges they have left). They then get my power swapper role to do with as they wish. It sounds like from the description that this happens last so everyone's powers for the night still go through but then come the next day our powers are swapped.

we find out how we can sabotage ourselves! the reason you're not supposed to withhold information in ONUW is because the more the town reveals about how they screwed each other over, the fewer places the scum can hide their contributions to the screw-ups/kills!

this sounds an awful lot like Old Maid from EpicMafia, do you gain their alignment or is this purely a role thing?
