Something that occurs to me is we still don't have an explanation for where the night 1 kill went. Mr.F!/Magnus claims he was roleblocked night 1 which could have been scum Flamander's jail. It's possible that this jail blocked the Tesco kill (assuming there was one) but that still does not explain the missing scum kill. The only claimed mechanism for that kill to have been stopped is if scum tried to kill either DCB or yronic heroism; either way the kill would have been blocked by DCB's bulletproof shot.

If anyone has a role that could have stopped a kill night 1 now is probably the time to claim it.

Ahhh, okay I missed the monster vs tesco thing. I assumed Godfather implied + goons, but I guess that's not a 100% reliable meta assumption.

I am just an unconfirmed town mason. I had to pick someone to recruit N0, and I recruited Derp early because of his Doc claim. I'd like to say I was impartial and skeptical of him the whole time, but I see now I was blinded by my early choice to recruit him.

Derp you sunofabitch you lied to me!
Uhh, how did you recruit derp based on his doctor claim if you had to pick someone on night 0 to recruit?

I pointed this out earlier - derp claimed N0, basically during confirmations. At the time I took it as a jokevote; apparently imp did not.

Hmm okay. One thing that does make me feel better about that claim is that derp claimed it somewhat early and without much prompting so at least the role probably exists. Whether it's a town role, or a Monster role designed to look like a town role, or simply 2pbi just claiming his buddy status as a mason is a different story I guess.

i think maybe there is 3+1 or 2+2 scum balanced by not allowing a kill first day

I second this, especially since we've had two nightkills for a few nights now and our assumption that there are only 4 scumbos is just that.

(I would be kinda stunned if it weren't the case, but if there are mutually-opposed scum teams that have it out for each other as much as they have it out for town I could sorta see it, if I squint)

5 scum in a 13 person game, with the only town roles so far as cop (but there's a godfather), watcher (but there's a ninja), and mason (but I'm an idiot) would be pretty rough.

I was considering this as well.

I did consider derp as an sk after seeing the flip, but I'm not sure it tracks.

I had 2 thoughts (excluding it being fake) about his claim of doc self protecting nightly, 1) he was bp, but lost it, or 2) he's playing chicken with a kill in a weird way. bp godfather sk seems a bit much to me, but would explain n1 missing 1 kill, and the jail the other.

2+2 makes more sense to me based on what we know about the setup thus far, and explains all the weirdness around imp and derp far better than anything else I've got.

depending on the details of kash's flavor, I could see him only being able to detect monsters, not humans, with echo cop abilities as justification for godfather. unfortunately this doesn't help us suss out if there are 3 monsters or 2 tesco.

I got distracted with work and forgot what other thing I wanted to say, but it was slightly in support of derp being a 1 man team

it's just a mechanic that adds an interesting twist. if both parties believe each other town, and they are correct, it is very powerful for them to have out of thread contact. but, the sliver of doubt that will always be there makes it a little more interesting.

it's more interesting still when you're scum and trick an unconfirmed mason into trusting you, or bag a scum mason partner

I thought so too, but then I was wondering if maybe there was a blanket-enforced n1 no-kill to balance it out. That does seem a little much, though.

Something else I just thought of that bears noting: I've been assuming, I think we've all been assuming, that Kashuno's "well I reread the posts and TNL looks like town to me now" bit was a softclaim, but since he never made any definitive claims it's entirely possible that he investigated someone else and changed his mind on TNL for exactly the reason he posted.

That is to say, I'm not certain we can count on Kashuno's about-face as an investigation result.

if kash posted that as cop without realizing we would believe it is a soft claim, I will yell at him later

it wouldn't have to be blanket, just one faction would do. one kill could've been stopped by the jail or similar.

Does Kash strike you as the kind of player who'd let that stop him?

That's a serious question by the way, I'm never sure how much of the "eh, effort is hard, I'm just gonna cruise in and drop three one-line posts and then jet for the day" style of play I see some players use is genuine and how much it's a tactic.

this is a stickup tunneled in on yronic all of the early game, seems to have (mostly) abandoned that. I'm curious what about his own role makes him think the possibility of Kash as a lover is plausible. "so I guess it was flam+flerp and derp+imp" is a good conclusion and for the most part I like it.

yronic heroism is quiet and hard for me to read, given that most of his posts have been made under the pressure of stickup's tunneling, but has never read as scummy to me as others seem to have been thinking.

The flip of derp as Godfather confuses the hell out of me, as it throws Mr. F!'s description of seeing him visit Kash into confusion; I have always been under the impression that the whole point of having a Godfather is that they don't kill anyone, they send other people out to kill people.

godfathers can kill, usually. sometimes they lose godfather while killing or similar. if your scum team is all PRs, having the godfather kill is great as everyone else can use their actions. just don't claim vanilla and get watched killing someone :ssh:

wrt yronic I still have a scummy read, but his responses to constant pressure seemed better the last day. at least none of his reactions or counters stood out to me like the previous days.

Maybe, either way it leaves us with one scum player left, it's just a matter of which connections you want to put weight on.

kash has enough awareness to not clear someone if he hasn't cleared them imo. he usually gives real reads and opinions, even if they are often one liners.

I am just not liking any of the reasoning imp has given for anything. The mason thing is weird for a scum play but he did qualify it with saying derp was unconfirmed. Weird planting of doubts posts and vote pullback yesterday. Still my number one suspect but I will hear out other cases.

Any thoughts on whether we should claim? I kind of think we should but that's because I'm not sure town has any roles left worth protecting.

Also is there a meta read on TNL and chores?

not really. echo cop with only 13 players: if its 4 scum and he picks 3 people, he'll be close to a 100% rate of finding 1 scum/2 town pairs. if he got 2/4 scum in one pair of 3, it's almost game over.

cutting it to monsters only 3+1 is still really good chances, but gives the scum a little room to hide, and makes sense thematically
