the gloating wasn't 'theram what are you doing' it was 'look at what i made you do, I MADE YOU CLAIM JAILOR' - in what universe do the following make sense concurrently

a) TheRam has a scum gameplan and I wish you all would see it
b) TheRam has acted and claimed based on my pressuring him

it's either/or

This is the post from Ernie that changed my mind. Diqnol has made both points a and b, and as Ernie pointed out, they are incongruent. This is directly related to Diqnol's posting and not at all related to night actions. if agreeing with a case is opportunism then there's no point in ever playing mafia or ever making case.

What do you mean 'no performing monkeys'?
tbh the arsonist thing feels like white noise that detracts from the decent likelihood running through the entirety of today that I caught diqnol.

I still don't think anyone can reconcile the amount of chance that goes into Diqnol not being scum or SK outweighing the probability that there was a 2nd NK that originated from Diqnol. The best argument is that Diqnol was the target of the 2nd kill IMO, but I didn't think he was a good target for a kill because of his D1 play not giving him any townie cred or w/e.

So unless Diqnol was riding someone scum I doubt it, usually those arguments suck and I don't tend to play WIFOM the NK since it's boring and circular and I've rarely seen it actually yield decent results.

Diq also saying throwaway things like "I don't think town will win without me", bah, what a load of crap. His arguments about me being a bad guy or w/e seem centred around the idea :tinfoil: that he just had to go or I've come at him with some scum-minded frame job. why not just NK him then? it doesn't ring true as a town response to someone jailing him.

I hosed up Ram's plan. That is how it makes sense.

is not something I believe. The plan you propose is that he used a scum roleblock against you, then came into the thread with a vague claim against you that he would clarify based on the reactions of the people in the thread, yes? If Ram were scum that plan would've been a lot more lucid upon entry into the thread for exactly that reason

I would assume WWM is either a Firefighter who is bad at their role or was doused with gasoline

Considering he chopped samfucious to death with a fire axe, I'm thinking it's the former.

Hey theram it makes sense why there wasn't a second kill last night if it's an arsonist.

You may be right in that I assumed I had affected Ram more than I actually did, Ram could have come into the thread with that lovely gameplan all ready to go and fully known that I would immediately respond with "I was roleblocked." so he'd make it look more natural when he claimed. But that's what makes him scum, don't you see? That means he half claimed in the beginning to solidify his later claim, NOT because he was trying to protect his role. If he were town, why wouldn't he come in with a case and only bring up the role stuff if absolutely necessary? He had no reason to truly assume that he had blocked a nk and he supposedly formed this whole opinion in what, 2 minutes? The dude thought this poo poo out but didn't play it like town would in that situation in any way. Look at exactly what he did when he came into the thread and tell me if you can discover the thoughts behind them. Why post x? Why go about it y way? If you can tell me you can see how he's townie at every step of the way in a narrative, I'll buy it. As of now, I absolutely do not.

Like, maybe I jumped to the conclusion that I had caught Ram by "making him claim Jailor" because I assign myself too much importance and didn't even really think about the fact that he may have totally planned for that response.

I'm trying to put together a post but everything is terrible.

Isn't the half-formed opinion idea bolstered by the quick turnaround on his thoughts? Say he figured that coming into the day, if there was only one kill, that you were responsible. He saw exactly that and posted a quick thought. imo it was more reckless than scummy to post a half-formed thought the way he did.

The frustrating thing is the insistence on the existence of a stopped second kill. The entire case hinges on that but we've had no indication that anything like that has happened.

I don't know if it's more likely that a town or a scum would come in with a half-formed idea. I feel like a scum player trying to trap you would be more likely to come in with a calculated fullclaim about what happened during the night, but that wouldn't work well in this situation because of the lack of evidence toward a second kill attempt. I don't think TheRam's entrance into the thread once the day started is an alignment tell either way since I don't really know what the right move for either would be. Isn't it to Ram's benefit that Mac has claimed to also have been roleblocked, but nobody is claiming to have done that?

It sounds like Firefighter is the counter to Arsonist. An axe would be something a firefighter would have. There is a reason it was "chop" instead of "kill", I would imagine.

The fact that you see someone who has proven they have an axe and pulled an arsonist accusation out of their rear end and then make this assertion is really scummy dude.

WWM killed samfucious with a fire axe on day 1. Then when I mentioned the possible existence of a serial killer, he asked if I was an arsonist.

So therefore he is probably a firefighter which in my guess means he is town aligned or 3p and his wincon is to find the arsonist and kill him or get him lynched

I think the nice thing is that even though you're against other people, it's not simultaneously competitive. Like, nobody can go up and try to block my roll or anything like that. I'm able to just focus on my own stuff, which works for me. I can't do straight-up competitive stuff where there's defense.
