Hey, what does the Assassin role do exactly? That was Opop's rule and he never got a chance to use it. This wiki page lists a few possibilities, I don't know if there's a particular Assassin we use on the forums or if it can mean different things in different games.

It's either an unblockable kill or an untrackable kill, we normally use Ninja for the latter so it's more likely the former

You keep saying this, but scum usually bus strategically. Assuming a 3 person scum team, how likely is it that the only 2 other scum are the first and third vote on the player?

Nope, my case hinges on you misrepresenting AC's thoughts on Opop, the same way you're misrepresenting my case right now.

This is what I considered when I was deciding whether to vote AC or Lowell, neither of which I was particularly convinced by: how did they act around the Opop lynch.

Here is AC:

Nah. Not without more than is there right now from him, the WIFOM case is interesting and potentially good but I'd rather deal with opop first. If it comes down to imgay or nolynch, I'll vote imgay.

WIFOM stands for "Wine in front of me" from the scene in The Princess Bride where Vizzini tries to figure out which glass of wine has the poison in it.

WIFOM = wine in front of me. It's referencing the scene from the Princess Bride and essentially means you can work yourself in circles trying to work out why scum would do something

massclaim = everyone claims their role and flavour, with both the cop and doctor in the open town's two main roles are already outed so it might be a good idea. Massclaiming means everyone has to put something out for town to judge and weak and allows us to catch weak fakeclaims

All this game we assumed if AC was scum then she must be the scum rolecop. Then towards the end of yesterday I raised the possibility that AC was claiming her buddy's rolecop result. At this point that would seem to be the case but there is another possibility as well. It could be that there isn't a scum rolecop at all. "But Rarity?" I hear you cry, "How did they know Hiip was the SK?" Well, the answer is that they didn't know, they just thought it was likely. When D2 started they would have seen the two kills and figured out there was a SK in the game. Assuming scum would be able to work out they killed TM through the flavour then they would know that Ernie was the SK target. At that point they could work backwards, see that Hiip was the only person that Ernie was throwing shade at and take a punt. It's a risky play but if it turned out to be wrong they could have always sold it as bus driver madness. I'm not saying this is definite but I think it's a scenario worth considering and means we can't right people with verified claims off.


Oh, and Rarity, if you think I would do something this risky, you don't know me as well as I thought. This is a balls-to-the-wall Rarity play.

I considered Foo, but he voted AC early and stuck with it, so I think he is less likely.

Clearly I have a different opinion than you on bussing though.

Let's talk flavour. I figured the one-shot kill role would belong to Furiosa, I guess it could belong to Scum but I can't think of a strong flavour justification for that. I've been thinking about the possibility of every Scum having been given a fake claim to make, and I think it's plausible. Earlier I listed 14 characters that I thought were possible Town roles:

quote:

Max, Furiosa, Nux, the War Rig, Angharad, Toast, Capable, Cheedo, The Dag, The Valkyrie, The Keeper of the Seeds, and arguably Ace, Morsov, and Glory

I have to admit I forgot about Miss Giddy, because she is never seen interacting with the main characters, but she would definitely be Town-aligned. I rewatched the movie, and one of the nameless Vuvalini has her name mentioned right before she dies - I think it's Maddie. So that's 16, enough everyone to have a character and for the Scum to each have safe fake-claims. There could also be a claim of a minor Town-aligned character who died before movie starts, like Mary Jo Bassa or Katie Concannon, or another War Rig inanimate object. Rarity, you're the expert, if you think a mass claim is worthwhile I hope this information helps.

I am not convinced about fiery_valkyrie because I still don't think his vote for Opop was a bus, he was the first person to vote for Opop on Day 2.

More seriously, let's think about this. Here's the claims we've got:

imgay: Mad Max - cop
Rarity: Miss Giddy - doctor
FV: Furiosa - vig
Chamale: Angharad - doublevoter
Ace: Cheedo - ???
Foo: ???
Lowell: ???
SA!: ???

With 8 players left, unless we no lynch or I block the NK we have 2 night phases remaining. Considering there's still a cop and a doctor for scum to deal with at night I think we can be safe massclaiming even if it reveals a tracker/watcher. However, I'd like to hear what imgay, Foo and SA! think of this plan before I go all in in calling for it.

hi i basically don't think i have any time today but i did a quick readthrough of D3 so far

first thing: hell yes rarity the movie is awesome and i am glad u watched it

now i'm interested in chamale since earlier he went balls-in on the case that flavor couldn't be faked because there's not enough people, but as soon as massclaiming gets mentioned he starts backtracking on that, realizing that there might indeed be enough flavors to make a massclaim a less useful tool

reminder that chamale was seen as fairly scummy before the flavorpost so i think a massclaim is reasonable, and to that extent i'll claim Toast the Knowing, Vanilla Town
this fits in with the other wife->town flavors we've seen,

this whole thing has put me confused re: chamale, because his flavor seems to make sense but his play seems scummish so bleh
