go ahead and expand the thought there chief

sure, not hard :)

there's no reason NOT to trust a claim on d2. scum don't play like this. and scum certainly don't all 'fake claim' just to protect one of their players.

but why i think you're scum is you said 'we have even less reason to'. that's too many fluffy modifier words for your opinion. it's a post intended/designed to swing opinion, not make an argument.

you and anyone may disagree, but i've been pretty successful over the years with the 'unnecessary modifiers = scum' rule in my head.

it is a direct reply to tm saying there is no proof to trust tobbs when his claim has even less proof than tobbs'

I even used the same fluffy modifier words for you. they imply that if there is no proof that tobbs is telling the truth (there is - you), there is less than no proof that tm is

hope this helps!

Well Moat was on the block. And I get almost zero information. It's only useful in wildly unlikely situations where Ernie and I check complementary targets.

Though if weak DOES mean we die when we target scum (kind of works with Moat's brutal claim) we're not great NK targets because we will kill ourselves.

ehh not exactly. killing us creates a false positive investigation.

ideally i'd be targeted by someone who allows me to see my full results tonight. that way i can see who visits you and you can 'cop' someone.

You know if I don't say who I suggest to cop Moat will be forced to guess. That'd be enough to prove he's what he says he is for those in doubt.
You know who is missing?

Quandary. And I think most of us are good with that vote and have no conflicting reason to not vote them.

What do you say?

I'm wondering if the person who becomes a cop/doc changes at night. It feels like your power should either affect either someone who was already a cop/doc. If it does turn a vanilla into a doc/cop, then I'd think either they would have to be only for that night or you'd be limited to only being able to create one if the other ones had died. Otherwise, I think you'd have a game with like a shitload of cops/docs and that just seems like it would quickly become unbalanced.

this is a stickup posted:

literally all I'm saying is that their stories are corroborated by other players, while yours is not, and thus we have less proof in your case that you are telling the truth

is that clearer?

At the point where I was confused, they were just going "im weak. Me too!!!"

Like come on. And a group of scum can collaborate with each other more easily so that's a moot point.

scum wouldn't go all in on corroborating someone's story if it means that the entire scum team gets exposed once the janitor flips (or gets NKed by the second faction)

Yeah it didn't post my post but claiming our targets is bad for that reason. Best to try and visit people we think are town and get more confirmations (if weak means we die visiting scum, which isn't 100%). I guess I should PM Ecco?

is it bad that i still want to vote wins? i know people like quandary more for scum, but wins just empty-voted keane and hasn't expressed opinions on anyone else. to me it comes off as confident play, not ... investigative play.

Yeah, I know. That's why I said I believe them.

But in a different game, in a different day, a bunch of people collaborating with each other to inno each other doesn't mean that they're town. (Katamari mafia, feb 2016, somethingawful forums)

That puts us roughly at -5. I figure the people voting Moritz can shift. As should the two voting Glenda and Keane. Between those it should be doable.

Keane Max Spoonsy, if you guys are around you can do something at least to get us closer to sleep.
