I figured, if someone made a NK on me maybe I could redirect to someone else I thought was scum. Your Ah-ha! relies on me thinking Asiina also would be the one to make the NK, which I wasn't betting on. In any case, I didn't think it through all that much. I'm a blow your load type of guy.

My Ah-ha relies on the fact that there are INVESTIGATIVE roles and if those INVESTIGATIVE roles INVESTIGATED you, they would be redirected to Asiina and have gotten a scum result that they would have believed would be on you because, in your mind, Asiina is scum.

I actually didn't think about that. I was just thinking about the night kill. Like I said, I blew my load thinking scum might target me because of my hubris.

No I'm saying, YPM's argument relies on me believing I thought she would make the kill. he's arguing, why target asiina if you think she's scum. Why target anyone else than a person I thought was scum? I mean what if I could redirect the nk to kill themselves even. Normally, I see nexus with a limitation, but my limitation is that it is 1-shot, and it redirects any actions targeting me to a target of my choosing.

Outside of that, I have no knowledge on if it can prevent or redirect a kill.

You'd have to assume there was some sort of protection role, though, which kind of invalidates that.

I wasn't, until Jake started painting me as scum for not being there for the turbo but being there after.

I'm more mad at Jake than town, because Jake made a similar push on me recently and flipped town and I was also town. It was a game scum won. I think it was your game.

Because at that point pretty much everyone was alive, so it follows logically.

Not to mention if your nexus were actually one shot, you'd assume other people also have X shot abilities, and using your nexus would likely invalidate and waste them all.

There's just no good, town reason to use a nexus ability N1

Honestly I want you to elaborate on this.

The whole nexus ability relies on assumptions, and I'm not guaranteed to make the same assumptions you all might. I feel like the points about how I used my role are illogical.

That's not a redflag you turdlord, like I've already said. I assume I can redirect an NK, but have no knowledge if I actually do or not. This assumption is derived from the fact that I didn't receive any limitations in my PM.

There was a lightning rod last night but AA was definitely not it. Everyone except AA visited the LR last night, which is kind of surprising that if there are one shots every single one of them used it last night

So you were worried about the NK targeting you, and rather than confirm with the mod what would happen, you decided to chance it and risk the NK actually going through while removing all protective/tracking abilities on you. Am I reading that correctly?

Like I said. I don't think Nexus would "visit" a player. It's like a targeted reflection, but I didn't trigger the original actions, so it would show the other players visiting my target and not me. Or at least thats how I take it.

I had no way of knowing if there'd be any protective/tracking abilities on me. So yeah, you are absolutely reading that correctly under the lens of a monocled obstinate incorrect turdlord. You're not Mei's Bei. You're roadhogs, hog cleaner.

I understand and am no longer using that as a reason to vote you. Its just amusing that everyone, including possible one shots, performed an action last night and were pulled by the LR

Also I don't know how cpig would do it, but if I do a redirect role I would usually do it the way AA is claiming and not have be seen by trackers/watchers. Kind of invalidates the purpose of the role.

I would, however, use it as a scum/sk role, and usually do

Residuals from the baby back bitch stuff and probably reading sarcasm in your posts where it's not.

I'm sorry man. I'm not trying to be a bitch to you. I think you're alright, also I'm in much better spirits today. So hopefully we can bury the hatchet.
