if we assume pera is saying the truth, their wincon is literally "survive until all other 3p are dead and reign as the 3p god". how is that even able to swing to the scumteam?

pera's playing their own mini mafia game, I don't see what's the problem?

And Arsonist isn't a delayed kill. It's effectively an unblockable SK.

No that isn't true, arsonist can douse people multiple nights and then eventually set them on fire. At least it has been that way times I have seen it

It's still possible pera is lying, even if some of what she is saying is true. What if she is part of a team with all those powers and is just trying to take credit for it? What is she is a one-person team who can use multiple powers every night?

I know, that's why I find it so strange that Somber basically said that they don't care whether pera is lying or not, they should get lynched regardless. I mean, if you think pera is lying, you're not just going to say "idc this game is doomed too many night kills".

if they believed pera is lying, the logical statement to make is "pera is probably lying scum, let's kill them."

not to be a bother, but i don't think your statement and jedit's are mutually exclusive - i think he's saying that a douse is a nightkill that just doesn't go off until the arsonist wants it to, which would equate to the more targets doused, the more likely the kills are to go off (doctor can't target everyone)

It's not the way I've seen it and it's not the way it's listed on Mafiascum.

Her claim is also, if not counter to the idea of flipping two VT from two, certainly made very unlikely by it. There would have to be a minimum of six non-Town, I think - two 3P killers, Bounty Hunter and three scum. Plus, Town would also have to have some form of defence. I honestly don't see there being more than three or possibly four VT in that game.

No, I'm saying that Mafiascum straight up defines Arsonist as a killer that cannot be blocked by a Doctor, only by a Firefighter. That's the definition I've always seen.

You've seriously never seen anyone say "I'm 3P, but I win with the Town" before? It's pretty much a neon sign saying "I'm scum, Survivor or SK".

I'm of the position upon reading some more that we gain enough on killing her and her flipping as she claims that it's probably worth it.

I was thinking about the math on this on my way home, and there's no way there's a three-person scum team with two killing 3Ps, even if they did something like alternate odd/even, town would be turbofucked by D3. So assuming we take her claim at face value, I'd bet a lot of money on a two-scum team.

I win by securing the deaths of third party killers and then there's a list of five total 3p killing roles.

My win condition is the standard "eliminate all threats to Town". If the only threats are 3PKs, then Pera's wincon is identical to the Town wincon. Her claim therefore requires there to be a scum team.

TM - you're slightly wrong. As claimed Pera could win with scum if the kill that triggers endgame is the last of her targets. If one of them was still alive at end game then presumably she'd lose.

The important thing is that losing at endgame in this fashion would be the only way she could lose; Town have to kill all 3PKs as well as scum.

She's lying. There's no way she's not lying.

I'm going to bed, it's 1.20am here. My vote isn't moving. If Pera is lying, it's a good lynch. If she's telling the truth somehow, we'll have a lot of confirmed information on the setup and depending who flips we might be able to unravel it all.

right yep in retrospect that should have been obvious and i shouldn't have needed to ask the question, really

quote:

given the necessity for a scumteam in this scenario this kinda looks like an oversight in the claim yeah, cause both town and scum have some interest in removing 3p killing roles and since everyone would have a motivation to off the 3p's it'd be a fairly straightforward win in most cases as well as motivation to not claim and let dudes kill each other off rather than reveal one's self

basically what i'm trying to say is this line of argument is not entirely unappealing to me when presented like this. fortunately, there's still a little while for me to chew on it

So, in short, pera's a Town-aligned Survivor with powers.
