So you are claiming that you had an advantage in challenges, the cited advantage that vanilla town had, however you, unlike all the other vanilla town roles that have flipped, started with an item?

I don't get how in QPQ's results AnonNarc doesn't recognise "me" meaning we're on different teams, then MMT doesn't recognise Keane but they're on the same team, then neither of garth and meek recognise each other but they're on different teams.

I saw the summarised rewrite of the result but I still don't get the mechanics?

QPQ's longer results had AnonNarc not recognising me, MMT not recognising you, and garth and merk not recognising each other.
But in his summarised version he says that you and MMT are of the same alignment whereas AnonNarc and I are different, even though he said the visitor wasn't recognised in both?

He revised this so MMT recognized me.

In regard to gifting items... Give the kill to somebody we can agree to trusting, and they have to use it as majority dictates?

As stated, with the info in the air using the vig and controlling it as much as possible might be of use.

I would agree, if chosen to use a kill item as advised by a town majority, but I don't have to be the one to do it.

the results are:

N3: Garth and merk: NOT ON SAME TEAM

I see what you mean, Bird, I assume the mistyped referred to Quid's N2 results, but you are correct.

I'm claiming I have max items, including a vig.

Theoretically if AnonNarc bestows the vig item on me and I keep it, I am lying and you can lynch me before I can use it, clearing Anon and maybe Ecco?

If I am not lying about my items I will have to give one up, which will be the vig I am holding, and either AnonNarc is scum or QPQ is lying/mistaken.

This is a scum post, Birdstrike dropping an item proves nothing, and this includes the line QPQ is lying/mistaken which allows for wiggle room in case Anon gets voted off and flips town.

I'm not entirely confident in QPQ's results and I'm not sure he is either. I think it's conceivable I could flip town and AnonNarc could also flip town. I don't know.

Correct me if I'm wrong:
  • QPQ's investigation of garth and merk shows them as having different alignments.

  • merk says that the bloody-handed result flavour happened on both N1 and N2.

  • imgay claims to have tracked garth nowhere on N1.

I am thinking about merk being misdirected last night and the possibility of imgay being misdirected on N1, it would make me suspect a garth/opop team as one would be hypnotist and one the misdirector, and opop is the last player for whom I have no data on N1 or N2 actions.

I would like the crossbow. I hereby pledge on my honor to shoot Opopanax. imgay can track me, merk can watch me, birdstrike can try to steal from me, whatever oversight we need. I just want his head on my mantle.

CCKeane posted:

as stated I have no items right now and my one item - the nightvig - was stolen.

Roydrowsy posted:

Bird sees that Ecco was unhappy with their jailing experience. Uses item to shoot at me, then steals vig to replace it.

Watcher/trackers rendered ineffective

Bird can claim "it wasn't me, I still have my vig and my items are full" but they could have replaced what they used.
this is my thinking right now as well. I am pretty sold on merk-opop-birdstrike as a scumteam, with mmmaaaaybe you as a fourth if it's that large, but I'm doubting it at this point.

merk posted:

I think there is a good chance that Ecco is scum and holding a vig.

I am not either of those things but I have no idea how to test that theory.

merk posted:

If we lynch garth and he flips scum, it basically confirms me as town, basically confirms the Q claim as town, and also basically confirms Roy as town. I think that's the right call.

ooooof course you do.

I hate agreeing with opop though.

CCKeane posted:

We do, but merk has claimed a more useful role.

Especially since we have had two town vanilla flip, I am suspicious of the vanilla claims.

- if merk is lying this is a terrible reason to keep him alive. We should ultimately be voting people based on behavior using claims as guides, not based entirely around claims themselves.

- garth has been a very low-key player all game, skimming his posts I don't get a scum vibe from him at all. of the garth-merk pair I really, really think it's merk, and I remain mystified why you and almost everyone else is ignoring it.

I mean straight up everything about merk's play this game and yesterday says "I am casual scum." I know it's frustrating, voting for a player who is as skilled as merk and who is presenting himself as wholly reasonable and level-headed, but just existing as merk doesn't make him town.

imgay can you confirm that you were actually roleblocked? it's important to me since it'd confirm I didn't try to kill roy, and you being roleblocked is unexplained right now (meaning it's coming from lying scum, which means we should seriously reconsider some people's claims).

I don't think it's a mistake to consider all angles. Based on the flips I don't think there is really any claim which I 100% believe except for CPig's because I don't see why PinMom would lie about not being able to vig him.

Regarding Roy I accept that it's possible in the setup that I could have stolen your sword and used mine on Roy. Not sure why I would do this though as I wasn't annoyed at him for jailing me.
