so

your name is james hats

you have a watch and track available

you choose to target the player who got a treat, great!

imagine that you, james hats, are town. do you choose the ability that could observe a kill on a high priority target? or, do you choose to see who they visit? the best case scenario there is a verified target.

suboptimal play is a tough case to make, but i have a lot of difficulty making sense of that from a town perspective.

I get why you might want to go after another target you found scummy, but what are your opinions on these claims Infinitum and I are making? It seems to be the larger item at hand, and one of us for sure is scum in this instance.

The only other exception where Infinitum is also town, and I am also town is this.

A targets B.
B is self-watching and targets C.
A sees B target C.
D

Good catch. Unless inf is just straight up lying, there is still a problem with the claimed actions though. His bodyguard action succeeded, with AA being the only visitor.

I'm so hesitant and asking loads of questions, AA, because I believe your argument over inf's. I think it's unlikely that there are 3 trackers due to exactly what somber says - the weird roles in this game make that unlikely. Your scenario is, however, much more likely than inf's, unless it was all just a giant coincidence (which is possible).

How are you feeling about inf's claim somber?

you're absolutely right. for some reason my mind wasn't registering that a strongman would bypass the bodyguard, I kept thinking inf would have died either way.

I suppose that makes it more likely that jimmy is scum.

I voted AA because Jimson said they're scum. Then Infi and AA argued for a bit and I thought it might lead to a turbo so I unvoted. After reading AA's comments, I think Infi's scenario is pretty unlikely.

That's it.

I don't really buy that explanation. A watch is way more exciting than a track as town. KB was obviously a high priority target and tracking him would give jim marginal information at best.

or wait, maybe i'm misremembering. James, you said you saw him Cop, right? so you saw the action but not the target.

Anomalous Amalgam posted:

Seriously, even if I wasn't a tracker, there's no way to prove I'm a redirector. I tracked inf, so yea he can see himself or another scum is also a tracker who watched me and told him. I mean think about it... Day just starts, inf claims I visit him and tries to tie it to KBs death... And contrives the argument that I'm a redirector and I some how inferred he was a body guard and I should redirect him, because he for sure was targeting KB to "protect" him?

I love coincidence but that's a big flaccid dicked lie.

What's more believable?

I tracked inf to KBs kill and someone informed him he was watched

OR...

Master tacticians CPig and AA used their superior reading and skill to identify the bodyguard and his intended target and redirect him to secure a kill.


gently caress that. Don't be dumb.

To be honest, I kinda forgot Jimson even said AA was maf by the time I unvoted.

The Watcher is an informative role that can target a player at Night and learn who, if anybody, targeted that player the same Night (but not what actions were performed on that player).
The Tracker learns who a player targeted, but not what action that player performed.

Anyways jimson was pure tracker and i am a tracking/watching JOAT so i cannot believe for one goddamn second that AA is also a town tracker in a 13 person game.

Jimmy Hats posted:

##vote cpig

Jimmy claimed to be a Tracker/Watcher JOAT. Neither tracker or watcher can do what he said his results were. What jimmyhats is describing is a follower, who targets a player and discovers what ability they used but not who they used it on.

So Jimmy either hosed up his claim, omitted extra aspects of his role then revealed them unintentionally, or is a liar.

Jimmy and Inf have both hosed up their claims. Both of them had lovely votes against Pig without any real explanation. Both of them are scummy, and that let's avoid a turbo seems premeditated in light of him loving up his night result on KB.

I think he saw me visit Infinitum.

I would say that Jimmyhat, Infinitum and another constitute the scum team.

Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I've caught two players in lies, at least one of them is guaranteed scum.

The wifom part is that we have no idea the kind of fuckery that exists within this game. Like asiina specifically made this game to make a game that could not be solved by night actions.
