You can explain away a rb on someone if it gets watched. But if RB and Kill both came into Tobbs and he was watched there would be no way anyone would believe that wasn't coordinated.

But if he gets watched and not killed, he's going to come in and say I was roleblocked, and what's your excuse for roleblocking the elite bodyguard?

Like I want him to live, but I'm not going to jail him because his role is too valuable to be roleblocked.

If you get a couple people visiting him and they get watched one of them probably gets outed as scum, but it's not going to sink the whole team.

I still think either you risk it and do both or you leave him alone and hope for the best, and I personally think it's go all in. Elite bodyguard is dangerous as hell for scum.

I think the scum team just wanted to prevent a possible protection role from acting, so they were less likely to miss out on a kill. It is entirely possible that the idea of a watcher never crossed their minds.

A gamble. On the off chance they were killed, painting those of us who openly voiced dissent to the chores vote as scum.

Also I figured it'd be informative either way. I'd be able to make connections to other players that would likely target them because they were most vocal.

However. I learned nothing. Failing both nights.

I don't love this reasoning. Like, as a town watcher, I want to catch the person doing the kill so I want to guess who the scum are going to kill. I understand not everyone is like me, but this still doesn't fit for me. This seems more like the reasoning scum would have. They want to identify the other moving town power roles so target someone scummy to see who targets them.

But I don't really want to cuddle a possible town watcher first among my scum picks.

Still leaning AN/TM first.

It's a gamble either way. I target someone Whose said or done little or target someone who is almost guaranteed to be visited by someone? I know it's not the most Orthodox approach, but who would you have watched?

I said already. Tobbs. If he's town, he is the most threatening player left on the board for scum to deal with.

I'm willing to admit that if asiina is a jailer and n1 jailed anarc, that there has to be a scum blocker.

That's the only possibility where asiina and I are both town.

Yeah, I hesitate to make meta reads on her since I know she went out of her way to establish a new meta at some point, and I'm not sure where she is at currently. But the meta AN was standing behind was the old meta I'm familiar with. And that version of her would never make effort cases like the one she made on you.

Right now I'm definitely leaning town on her.

Since there were two unique actions failed last night, I'm not ruling this out. I think there definitely is a scum roleblocker, and reading the interactions in the mason doc give me a pretty solid town read on Asiina and KB. (I wasn't sure on KB until I had the opportunity to read the doc, a lot more sure of this now.)

I'm not sold that you're town, but there's enough ambiguity here that I would be a lot more comfortable with my original lynch choice today in TM.

That said, if there's any ambiguity over ANarc, then she needs to die before LYLO, and I think there's more than ambiguity here. Her waiting until the very end of the day to come in after being absent for much of D2 was really suspicious to me, and that's in addition to getting the train rolling on Asiina and then fading as I noted in a previous post. A scum executioner wins the game, and if she's scum then there's nothing to say that her "one-shot" claim is the truth.

Provided Asiina is town, but not necessarily requiring that she is. c pig and Flying leatherman. Interactions with asiina are minimal but in general their actual effort in this game is worse than TMs IMO. It seems fakes in FLs case or unabashedly detached in pigs.

Outside of that tobbs heavy handed flavor casing rubbed me wrong but I didn't speak against it because he was the only person remotely not making GBS threads all over my idea and challenging the status quo at the time.

And even with your posts, unless your masonry is confirmed there is no guarantee asiina is town.

I'm willing to say she is contingent upon us lynching a scum role blocker.

Here's how this day/night will play out though...

A. I get lynched. I am confirmed town. A claimed bodyguard, a mason, a jailer, and a tracker are outed...

B. I don't get lynched. A claimed watcher, a bodyguard, a mason, a jailer and a tracker are outed...

Either way, town is going to be at a loss, because while we've put the pieces together to make our picture clearer, scum just got targets. And are still probably presently lying through their teeth

I'm with KB in that I wish we hadn't claimed but now that the ball is rolling, might as well keep going with it. Like we already have some good scum kill targets so there's not really a risk of outing yourself and getting killed over some other things claimed.

Also something that was brought up in the doc but hasn't been said in the thread. There could be 3 or 4 members of the scum team. 15 is a strange number in that 4 scum is slightly too many but 3 is quite a bit too few if we're aiming for a 25% scum ratio.

I still think it's AA/ANarc/TM and if I had to pick a 4th it could be CPig, but it's hard to say when he's been so absent.

Naw. If you and TQ are both town, you are our remaining hunting style roles with the Cop dead. I'd rather make scum deal with you and come back to you later in the game if for some reason you haven't been killed.

Once again, :agreed:

We keep having these conversations in the doc then bringing them to the thread. I still think AA is scum, but it's a confirmable enough role that I'm willing to wait on it and if you're town either scum will waste their roleblock and/or kill on you or you get some good results, or we just wait to catch you in a lie.

I think I'm going to go back to ##vote ANarc.

I think her posting has been scummy and that having two town vote messer uppers is just too weird that I'm almost sure she's scum.

Now that I've remember CPig and Glowku are in this game I'm less sure that it's TM and if it really is 4 scum I would rather get almost definite scum rather than look amongst the people I'm less confident about.

It'd be nice to find the roleblocker today, but I'd rather go with the safer bet.

I really recommend people go back and read the two games that I referenced earlier, Cat Lady Mafia and Gotta Go Fast, to see what I'm talking about w/r/t meta stuff and TM. There's a really clear difference in playstyle. I really think that's the main distinguishing thing for me as opposed to say cpig, who is reading to me this game the same way as he does every game.

Glowku is a valid concern, I think, but I haven't played enough games with him to really peg his playstyle this game from an alignment perspective.

I'll ##vote AN today because I think it's reasonable, but I still have a stronger read on TM than on the other low content posters in this game.

To be honest, I haven't had a proper reread of the thread yet so I'm withholding my opinion until then.

For the moment I'm taking a back seat a little bit to see what pops up.

The reason I'm not claiming yet is I might have evidence to contradict some people and I'd like to see more info on the board before revealing my hand.
And that's legit information not "HO HO HO I HAVE SO MUCH TO REVEAL! JUST NOT TODAY!" information
