Flerp what picture was in your role PM? Was it the word Weird? b/c FYI it's a weird game about witches.

yes i have a weird picture of a cat, but nobody has flipped as a weird role like mason/doc/message receiver

the flavor might be weird but none of the roles have made me think this game has any weird dumb fusion roles

Flerp I don't understand why you are acting so dire about this game. You're acting like we voted out town yesterday instead of scum.

because we havent won the game. being complacent will lose us the game. we need to keep lynching scum and gettting confident is an easy way for us to lose.

Yeah but you are acting like the sky is falling and the game will be lost if we vote Magnus. I don't know why you are defending him so strongly, he's barely said anything prior to this watcher claim. Why are you so convinced he's town?

Mr F, Derp has claimed doctor. You have claimed watcher. One of you is lying scum. All else being equal, better to accidentally lynch the watcher than the doc.

But it's not all equal, because you are pretty scummy. Sorry if you're not, it's just the most logical option due to mechanics.

Has anyone ever heard of a paranoid/reverse/miller watcher? Would be a weird role because it relies specifically on naming a different person than the one being watched. Maybe a framer role exists?

## unvote until someone considers that.

There have been games with scum roles that can make themselves appear to be another player in tracking and watching results. It's not very common but in a game with shapeshifter scum it would fit the flavor.

Where I stand is that I thought mags was scummy and derp town before the tracker claim and that's still my impression now. It's possible they're both town with some trickery going on though.

Ya my fear now is that Derp and Mr F are both town, which means lynching one after the other might lose us a doc and a watcher.

You are defending him though. You've argued a few times that Mags would have lied about a different person killing Kash if he was scum, for example. Once in all caps. If that's not defending mags what would you call it instead?

The Ninth Layer
Jun 20, 2007

As something to think about, Mags claimed ability failure night 1 and suggested he was jailed. (Kashuno may have been jailed instead which would also make a watch ability fail.) However it's unlikely that scum blocked their own kill with their jailer so something else must have stopped their nightkill.

Idk if we have a town roleblocker but if we do it may be a good idea to claim who you blocked that night. Other possibilities explaining the no kill are that derp was targeted and blocked his own kill, that either yronic or DCB were targeted and DCB's bulletproof was burned, or that scum delayed their night 1 kill for a two kill night on night 2.

For what it's worth I've almost never seen a doctor role that could both self target and also protect the same person multiple times in a row; such a role would be unkillable for the scum team without them using another ability. If derp and DCB are both town with the roles they claimed they can theoretically protect each other indefinitely.

The Ninth Layer

My frank opinion is that if derp was busing Flamander he did a very convincing job of it and was on him all of day 2. I've seen derp bus buddies before so it wouldn't be too out of character for him, but I don't remember him doing it with the focus and persistence he put into pushing Flamander.

I don't follow. One or the other must be lying, right?

Unless there is a framer / Mr F's role is insane or something.

The Ninth Layer

I've never heard of an insane tracker or watcher. I've seen watchers have built-in chances of failure but never a watcher who got outright untrue results (that weren't caused by a scum role anyway).

I am a little conflicted on mr f and derp in light of derp claiming to self protect each night. without this one point, I lean mr f for sure. I agree with tnl wrt derp and flam, and imp wrt watcher over doctor.

this part is just idiotic, and the same dumb double down that made me jump on you the first time. do you really think it reasonable to dictate my schedule for playing mafia on the dead somethingawful comedy forums?

friday, after I stopped working, I posted once with what I feel is a pretty important question to ask. then, I got ready and met my friend (first time in 8 years :sun:). to me, the distinction between "stretching the definition of friday night", and "calling the time when you are going out with a friend for the night after work, and through the night, without looking at the forums friday night" is pretty clear

hello i am the doctor and can protect myself every night so that's what im gunna do. probably not the best strategy to claim but it seems like what my character would do

Just gonna note that derp has been "claiming" self-protecting doc since role PMs dropped

It sounded like a dumb jokeclaim to me then and it sounds like a dumb jokeclaim to me now, but since some of you have played mafia with derp before maybe you'll know whether that's the kind of thing he would do or whether upon being revealed by a watcher he cast about for the first BS claim that popped into his head
