poo poo went down after I went to bed. First impression is why the hell is everyone voting Keane? I get at least PMom, Narc, and Merk, but everyone else being really reckless here. I really think we need our flip first. I voted no hang and we should stick with that, because frankly then we can fully decide which claimed cop to trust. At this point we're cutting off fingers in the dark.

On the re-read:

merk posted:

I'm not going to address a theory that requires me to get anywhere near claiming. I'm telling you I'm town-aligned. My content speaks for itself.

That's hypocritical because you asked Keane to claim and he did so far earlier than would've been required. The cases on him amount to him lying about being a cop and tunneling on the masonry kids, that's not good enough to have him voted off.

How likely it is for a game of 21 to have multiple cops? And if there are can we assume some to be faulty?

I looked back to see his play with Jedit. He low-balls him a couple of questions and votes him 3rd to last. Keane also throws suspicion on Quandary on D1 and then ignores him completely D2. Ok. His vote on Jedit can completely be read as a scum vote, it's in the right place and it's made after it's seen Narc won't be executed. He pretty much ignores Quandary afterwards, but seeing as we still haven't got our Quandary flip I don't want to use that as a point.

I don't think Keane's played a scum game and his frustration over this latest phase reads genuine and as Ernie points out makes no sense. 1 possible scummy vote on Jedit is not enough to want me to vote until the necessary information revealed from Quandary's flip, which will more solidly place Keane's alignment. We have the advantage of Lights out, we can take out everyone we want tomorrow if necessary why be so obtuse about this?

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
The townies grabbed Quandary and dragged him to the gallows. They put the noose around his neck and let him fall - SNAP he went. However, as his body hung limply on the rope, it started to... smoke. Soon a fire from inside Quandary's corpse bursts out, and in seconds his entire corpse has disappeared into ashes and smoke (yet the rope attached to him remains untouched). While this is very peculiar, it also means Quandary's identity remains unknown.

:s: Quandary, ???, ??? (???-aligned), was executed Day 2. :s:

Night 2! Send in those actions.

there is only one hell:
the one we live in now
As the sun rises on a new day, the town awakens to find new death. The only one unaccounted for is QuoProQuid, whose body sits in his bed, a crossbow bolt lodged in his skull. His corpse has been further desecrated, however, and his home emptied of anything which would identify him. What's most strange are two huge gashes in his back, as if he had limbs there that were violently ripped out. Overall it is a very bloody experience and most of the townspeople are happy enough just to leave the area without vomiting.

:s: QuoProQuid, ???, ??? (???-aligned ???), was shot night 2. :s:

It is now Day 3.
:h: 16 alive, 9 votes to execute.
:d: Day 3 deadline: Sunday, April 5th, ~11PM EST.

Note that I have made a mistake with the night 1 flip. It has been corrected.

alternatively if quandary was scum, then keane's play yesterday is incompatible with knowing that the flip would be janitored

i can't put it into coherent words, but i think scum who had 3 votes on them claiming cop when their scumbo's flip is going to be janitored isn't optimal play rather the scum would be quiet and wait to see who tilts when the flip is janitored so they start getting back ahead

And why wasn't D1/N1 janitored. Was it something we did as a collective unknowingly, or was it someone doing it on purpose. I honeslty don't like either of these options because they give me different reasons to be bleh about the game.

I propose, opposite to Eernie, that we should vote out everyone today if possible.

There was nothing optimal about Keane's claim. If he's town he shouldn't have claimed either.

i've been considering the implications of this and it makes sense that the scum only have limited shots of the janitor or can only janitor a day with a single flip (since ecco is the kind of mod that would try to force the town to act according to her ideals mechanically)

D1 wasn't janitored, N1 was (retroactively, we shouldn't have seen winvirus flip).

I'm torn on Ernie because it could be a joke, or it could be a legitimate stupid 3pslip, but him coming back and saying "lol it was a joke", which he's going to do, doesn't take it back. We can't know for sure now and I am going to operate under the assumption that Ernie is 3P from now on.

I can't reconcile that with the 3p-defense of Ernie early game. I will re-read PMom re: numerik, but I pegged PMom as KNOWING he was 3P from the outset

AWU has a post-history of trying to seem like he's 'catching' things repeatedly but he never follows up on them.

His concern is with being seen as making cases, rather than actually catching scum with them.

The third posts here are about Ninth and Merk who have a wealth of posts each and it's easy to case them earnestly if necessary.

In the past Ecco just called the former an Assassin and I've always seem the latter as a Ninja. I'm thinking about it because it seems weird that, if Jedit was some kind of kill-plus role, it seems weird that the scum team would have another in the form of a janitor.

why would the scum janitor quandary's flip even if he was scum?

the only reason is that quandary's cuddle would give us information that the scum don't want us to have (since quandary was copped)

so either pmom and narc have something to do with the janitor or my chaoslord case from yesterday has merit and the scum were sick of being strung one after the other

Seriously we could have lynched Keane yesterday and then I wouldn't have to go after him again today. Then maybe we'd have another flip to go on and the game wouldn't be so stagnant.

I think the power that makes sense for the janitor is "next X days' flips are janitored". That explains why Jedit and num weren't janitored, but the next three were. X might even have been 1, with Ecco screwing up on winvirus and giving them an extra janitor to compensate.

what is even happening with you right now? you're so convinced keane is scum that i'm now scum? and you're casing me for defending keane even though both qpq and i did it a lot yesterday and qpq turned up dead today?

all this in a pseudo-flipless game where you can easily misjudge someone's content?

also, what? i made a case before that post directed at you.
