My theory is that AnonNarc extended the voting for today to try and get a mis lunch without the benefit of garth's flip and without proof of QPQ's results.

I actually agree with AnonNarc that it should be one of us lynched to test the data. I guess it was fairly predictable that AnonNarc would come out against me straight away, and it's also fairly predictable that I will ##vote AnonymousNarcotics

I agree that I went softer on Ecco after she gave me the sword, but I was straight back voting her when she said I stole it. I didn't steal it, she flipped scum. If I was also scum, why would she publicly accuse me of stealing it?

I've been completely straight with my actions and item use. And I haven't held on to the healing kit I took from QPQ night 1, I used it on QPQ last night.

I barely need to mention AnonNarc trying to rush the day Ecco was lynched. This forced vote seems like a similar play, rushing people into a decision without all the info.

I really think birdstrike is scum, guys. So far, we have no reason to doubt that QPQ is lying about his ability. That means birdstrike has to be scum, since I'm not.

Looking back at his post history, his interactions with Ecco are really weird. He accuses Ecco of being scum the first couple days, and then drops it completely for a very long time. So once Ecco flipped, it's easy for him to be able to say "see, I thought he was scum from the beginning."

The interaction over the stolen item is so ridiculous it looks almost contrived. Just look at this post. It screams "Look at us, we're not on the same team!" It's not even a vote for scum, it's an OMGUS.


Also, Ecco gave him one of the silver swords (1-shot vig). It would be awfully convenient for scum to have that extra vig, and this was before we knew he was a thief so we weren't suspicious.

I know role does not necessarily correlate with alignment, but the way birdstrike has been using his role is scummy.

He stole a 1-shot protection on N1, which he still has, unless he used it last night. I'm basing this on this post


That's a long time to hold on to a protective item and not use it.

He also stole keane's shield, and when questioned about it, came up with an excuse that was some elaborate plan which involved him knowing exactly what item he was going to steal and what he was going to do the next day when scum targeted him.


Keane succinctly described the act here:


It's all very suspicious.

##vote birdstrike

Did you explain what you were doing when you tried to hammer while we were waiting for actions to complete and info to come in?

That is probably the biggest argument against you at the moment. Your case makes sense, but if we gotta pick between you two I want to be sure about what I am doing from both ends of this.

Also... Unless Garth could mess with people while jailed, one of the people left has the ability to screw with night actions.

It would seem strange that a person gets to make and distribute items And control people, or steal items and make somebody kill themselves.

Two power roles seems a bit much. So before we go down this road we need to look at all of it.

Who has power roles that are confirmed?

Who has a role that could be faked?

QPQ, if they were scum, could fake that role as they have knowledge of who is and is not scum. They could have produced results to cover a different action.

It is a huge risk, not one I would be willing to take, but it could be possible. So let's take some time here.

I'm not scum. I know you want very badly for me to be scum, but I'm not. I'd point out that my public ability would be absolutely terrible for scum to have, scum would be unlikely to use it, and would definitely be unlikely to use it when there was not a single flipped scum so hiding among each other would be easier.

I was wrong on ecco but withdrew my support once I realized I was incorrect in my night action assumptions. Ecco was behaving as I would have expected a cop to behave, once they revealed they were not a cop my approach changed. We had no flipped cops.

I think, looking at night actions, if I am scum it would only be possible if I either I was bus driven night two, meaning that Opop is the lone remaining possibility as hypnotist scum, or QPQ is scum with me.

Looks like we're not gonna get to use this extra lynch.

The reason I didn't use it yesterday is that I just didn't think of it. It probably would have been better, yes. Sorry.

Yes I explained the hammer on merk which did look really scummy and I can def see that from other people's pov. I was out with friends and my phone was dying. I wanted to make sure that we didn't no lynch (I think there was only an hour or so left until deadline). I and lots of other people thought merk was scum, so I figured we should lynch him, and exakt would still let us know the results of cpigs info, regardless of if the hammer had gone down.

I hope people show up bc it would be a waste of a p good item. I guess I kinda hosed up by hammering at night.

We don't lose anything by not killing a second person we just delay the flip. I would be okay with that, so no vote for now.

I think QPQ is in a position to lie about things, but that doesn't mean they did. I want more info. I also think I'd like to have some clarification about what CPig can do.

Can we go back and list what actions were messed with and how?
I think there are clues there, and acum could be muddying the water by claiming disruptions that did not occur.

QPQ claimed to investigate merk and garth on N3. merk said he was redirected to garth that night, Roy jailed merk and I think imgay said he was roleblocked that night as well (I don't have my full spreadsheet with me it's at work).

It was suggested that merk and garth were bus driven that night based on merk's result. I think merk might have been redirected himself, but even if he was bus driven with garth, QPQ's result should still have shown them both as town.

I am starting to suspect that QPQ has invented his results.

I don't understand the mechanics of this game and am frustrated by its mechanics. I need to die before we get anywhere near LYLO. I can't investigate anyone else and if I get anywhere near the end of the game, my results are going to be a huge distraction for scum to exploit. Regardless of alignment, I would be a good lynch tomorrow as it would further clarify the set-up. The town shouldn't lose because I gave out the wrong results.

I'm not sure how to view any of my previous results. I still do feel good about Keane, but I need to review Bird and Anarc.Did I imgay ever reveal what his results were last night? I haven't had much time to devote to this game.

imgay, The Rhino, Son of Greph'Lohac, Town Tracker was killed Night 5

quote:


You are The Rhino, Son of Greph'Lohac. Abandoned on the Eastern Reaches as a babe, the rhinos of the plains took you in and raised you as on of their own. However, in your fourteenth summer, poachers attacked you tribe, seeking your horns to use as dick medicine. Your father, Greph'Lohac, was able to fend them off, but before he dispatched the last poacher, the foul rogue stabbed him with a poisoned knife. As the last light fled from his eyes, he implored you to take his horn as your own, and an aetheric glow transferred his horn to your codpiece. Now, you have entered the Tournament of Heroes with your codpiece and your senses heightened by your upbringing in the crash so that you might get the money and fame to obtain free rhino land and promote the conservation of your people.

You are a Town Tracker. Each night, you can track a player and learn the identity of every player they targeted during that night, but not any of the actions performed. Once per game, you may receive results for any previous night rather than the current night. You win when all threats to town are eliminated.

Examining the remaining players for possible hypnotist candidates. Obviously, saying that a player is not a hypnotist does not mean they aren't scum, but it does help resolve a long-standing issue:

I. Anarc's inventor status has been confirmed in the thread by the moderator. Though she might be scum, it seems unlikely for set-up reasons that she would have an additional powerful night ability.
II. Birdstrike is a confirmed thief via myself, Keane, and several other players. merk claims to have been hypnotized the same day that I was stolen from, making it highly unlikely that Bird is also a hypnotist.
III. Capitalist Pig is a hider-variant whose ability has been somewhat confirmed by PMom (later flipped town). Based on what little information we have, I can see CPig having an additional role to supplement his powers.
IV. Opop is a moderator confirmed "unlynchable" player who claims to have no night ability. If Roy's action went through last night, he can be effectively dismissed as a hypnotist.
V. Roy's jail ability is confirmed by Goo (who later flipped town) and Ecco (later flipped scum). Roy's jailing against Goo and Ecco coincided with merk's claimed hypnotism N1 and N2.

Of the players left alive, CPig and Anarc are the only players who could theoretically be a hypnotist. Anarc's alignment has been discussed to death, but has anyone taken a close look at CPig?

I'm running through the thread now, but does anyone remember any role-related reason that might disqualify CPig from the list of possible scum?

Remind me if I am forgetting anything. My mind is running at a thousand miles a minute.

merk, if you can still talk, any additional insight would be helpful. I would prefer multi-topic mega-posts rather than short one sentence responses.
