(my character married the king of aquitaine and started an affair with an Italian in the court [named Robert!]; the kid is a bastard born with Robert without the King's knowledge, but by the second child the affair became public knowledge. The King then divorced Clarent for adultery [I did "play <userid>" on the king and did it myself] and declared all Clarent's children as illegitimate [I messed with the game files to have them be bastards but under Clarent and Robert's care since afaik there isn't a mechanic for it in-game]. Clarent then married Robert freely and had five more beautiful children. She just abdicated the throne so Bethany, the eldest daughter [aka "the kid"], could take charge [abdication mod + I wanted to actually play as Bethany before she became an old woman]. Clarent is now retired, living as a nun in quiet solitude in order to repent for her youthful adultery and so that she may some day see Robert again in the next life. So good work town it's canon that you win!!) OKAY GET BACK TO MAFIALAND.

And now we're sitting here in one of them. I was scum in a previous France game, and can attest to this. We had the weirdest mechanics for our group, and some polish time traveler was specifically trying to kill me.

Hello what a great weekend I had and what a great time I had catching up on this thread. Actually I am a little sad I missed the dethy chat. I guess we can't really ASSUME it's a dethy but it does seem fair. I agree with anyone who said three roleblocks is really weird, but it sounds like Amoeba so then it's just 2, right? That seems more believable. Now that I know spoonsy was in a masonry and most of his mason buddies don't seem to think he's scummy I feel better about him.

I think zzyzx is pretty suspicious for reasons I mentioned yesterday and he's been pretty quiet about actual scum other than pushing for spoonsy, but wins has been very low-key this game and so far his only post today is: wins32767 posted:Amoeba, please claim. and then nothing. He needs to come back and talk more.

Amoeba102 posted:I can't parse what you are saying. Oh sorry let me try again. I had a good weekend in real life and I liked reading this thread when I came back, I like cracking setup spec so I wish I had been around when that was in full swing. There isn't enough evidence to say it is definitely a dethy setup in that masonry but that feels like it could be right. When I was reading along there was some talk about three roleblocks, but then I got the idea that you know you absorbed a kill and that accounts for one of the roleblocks, but maybe I read that wrong? I don't feel that spoonsy is as scummy as I did earlier in the game because now I know that he was also talking in a masonry and most of those people don't think he's too scummy (except zzyzx) and also the stuff he's posted in the thread today doesn't feel like scum. That was about it, really I didn't say much of anything. Is that more parseable?

Amoeba says he was a target for a kill but it missed and also there were 3 cops in the masonry roleblocked.

Yeah, this explains the line I had trouble getting. Me absorbing a kill doesn't really connect with 3 of the cops getting roleblocked.

Would 2 roleblocks be more believable? Considering that no one has come in sheepishly "sorry guys, yeah that was me on so and so, town roleblocker here", it's safe to assume any blocks were from anti-town sources. Two anti-town roleblockers seems just as unreasonable to me as three anti-town roleblockers. Has everyone said who they targeted?

Two anti-town roleblockers seems just as unreasonable to me as three anti-town roleblockers. I don't think a town roleblocker would necessarily claim here but I get your point. Two is still more likely than 3, and three that all target cops is extra hard to believe because even if scum know who is in the cop masonry I doubt they would have the ability to roleblock three of them. I mean anything is possible but that just seems to stretch credulity too far so my tendency is to think at least one is lying.

Hal Incandenza posted:Hello what a great weekend I had and what a great time I had catching up on this thread. Amoeba claimed to have stopped a nk, nothing to do with a rb (if I understand her incredibly obtuse softclaim). Also if you were reading along as opposed to skimming, you would know we *don't* trust Spoonsy, and that's why we claimed the masonry in the first place. I have to say, I've never been in a dethy game before, and I don't know if there's a standard approach. I'm still doing what I know, which is to hunt scum. If I understand it correctly, we need to clear up our sanities before we can proceed. If that means that this game has turned into a logic puzzle of which of these things doesn't belong, then that means our attention has to shift to one of our investigation targets. There is no sense in killing cops today when we don't even know if their results are accurate or not. Even though I don't trust Spoonsy, I am not going to vote him today. My vote is for wins. He has been - let's just call it what it is - nonparticipatory. Sure, he's been posting, but what is in his history? A joke vote, a throwaway case on Punt, and a whole bunch of white noise. He's the mafia equivalent of beige this game, and so if I can lynch the person I think is scummiest this game AND also get a handle on if I am the naive cop or a straight cop, that's going to not only clarify my sanity, it's also going to (hopefully) vindicate fiery. Remember, merk got scum on fiery and I got town. If wins flips scum, we'll know Punt was the naive cop. It's the right move for today.

I've been phone posting, and my phone does not like spreadsheets.

This is all off the hip supposition, but what was the traffic in your masondoc like on Day 2? I transcribed and updated the Merkpost with fv's night 2 result: pre:Player Night 1 target Night 1 result Night 2 Target Night 2 result fv zzyzx town ? blocked merk fv scum ? blocked spoonsy gamer town ? blocked punt wins town ? killed night 2 WWM squiggly town fv town We know now that that result is in-line with squiggly's actual alignment. Was previously unseen evidence presented in the mason doc to support merk voting for squiggly 15 minutes after the day started? How about by the time merk made this post? I'm inclined to believe spoonsy is not scum based on the supposed investigation of gamer on night 1. I'm also leaning toward disbelieving at least one of the blocks on night 2. We already have a possible reason to doubt merk's results based on sanity. Is it too far a jump to doubt merk's results based on alignment?

Yeah, so why would you make the leap that Spoonsy is not scum because he said Gamer was town? Also, stop worrying about merk. With that many cops, one has to be paranoid - all results return as scum - and that HAS to be merk. So merk has to be town.

Just like I'm inclined to believe Nth and Gamer are town due to my result. As for why I feel zz over why, I don't have a specific reason. As I posed in the doc, we can always do both if zz flips town. I just feel zz's the better one to go first.

Amoeba102 posted:One of: Gut calls: wins more likely scum than zzyzx. Zzyzx's posting doesn't look bad to me and he looks to have put in genuine effort. Wins has really seemed to do much other than comment. Still want to see why he asked me to claim. WWM looks like he's thinking about the game, but their summary dump on D1. I don't like Spoonsy going all woe is me over the game being set in France with the ~werid poo poo~ speculation. FV seems fine. Of FV, Spoonsy, WWM I'd say: WWM>Spoonsy>FV. zzyzx,wins :wins>zzyzx.

Shower Thoughts (unless this was already thought of): Wins coming in to the thread and asking Ameoba to claim the night that they dodged a night kill makes me think Wins was responsible for said night kill that didn't happen for whatever reason. The only thing that makes me hesitate about voting for Wins if that is the case is that I can't tell if the mauled to death or fire death would be more likely to be a vig (since I feel like one of the kills is the result of an eager town vig.)
