I'm a vengeful vigilante. curse a target, and if I die, they die. breadcrumb early on with 'I dunno if I have a vig' + confirmed I targeted someone (not magnus) N0.

this is a stickup posted:

...hmm ##vote kashuno

I'm not daring enough to risk a dayvig on kash without knowing if I have a dayvig or not

this is a stickup posted:

the person I have targeted is not you

it would be easy to decline to curse, or curse myself, but on N0 I decided to self impose two rules to make it a proper curse: the curse must be used, and I may not remove the curse by putting it on myself/no one. I didn't expect to live this long :shobon:

so, I did not want to claim yesterday not because I have a powerful role, but because I have a dangerous endgame role for the town. it is incredibly risky for me to be one of 4 or 5 people alive, doubly so if I have claimed. scum could strategically kill me to take out a second town if I pick wrong. I continuously soft claimed trying to seem like an obvious/over-eager nk bomb or pgo, and avoid giving scum a possibly game winning double kill.

(below all assumes I curse town)

5 alive is mylo. mislynch + double town nk is game.
4 alive is actual lylo, not mylo. if we attempt nl to get to 3 man, we are still at risk of losing that night

on the other hand, with 6 players left, one town goes end of day. I die, kill second town. outcome? disaster, 3 town dead. but, honestly? pretty okay, game proceeds with safe(r) 3 man lylo.

no lynch, I die with double town nk
4 man mylo. nl from there, same result as above. safer because I'm dead.

thus, in the case that dcb lived, always curse dcb. if dcb is a liar, hopefully he tries to kill me and kills himself. if not, and I am nk'd, the bodyguard dies either from protecting me or from the curse, but the night actions should be mostly obvious (apart from who did the kill) if I flip vengeful vig and two people die.

if dcb lived but wasn't scum, and I wasn't nk'd, we hit 5 people alive with the curse up. possible insta loss that day, so imo a no lynch scenario yesterday was no bueno.

if I have no valid target cursed when I die, nothing happens. I read the entire thread, tallied points for things that stuck out etc. I thought imp was the most likely nk target as people overall view him the least scummy. as such, I kept imp cursed last night, and the curse is now broken. we can safely no lynch today

N0 I picked kash because vOv
N1 yronic
N2 yronic
N3 imp (derp+flerp flips)
N4 imp

even if last night was a double town nk, it avoids immediate game loss in all cases, and (imo) minimized the worst scenario with a no lynch + me alive + curse up the next day

If after all this softclaiming you end up claiming some dud or otherwise unhelpful role I encourage everyone to vote for you immediately, I'm okay with you not claiming today to a point but that point rests on you knowing what you're doing and not just being coy for the sake of being coy.

so, was this really your plan? this would be a game winning move for scum.

I am still suspicious of TNL but think we should wait for tomorrow... will make the choice simpler with three.

sorry, I was in a rush to phone post before leaving this morning so it's not worded well

simply put, it's just a vig that only goes off when I die, and I self imposed rules to make it more interesting to play

the rules I set didn't work out so well when I lived to day 4, but I played to them anyway. the way the numbers worked out, we could lose the game with 4 town and 1 scum remaining if we mislynched, and the scum nk me, which would trigger my vig for a total of 3 dead

imp was cursed, but imp is dead, so the curse is no longer active. if I die tonight, only one person dies and I've not broken my own rules for the role

Kill flavor suggests the last scum alive is Tesco. That makes me a bit more suspicious of chores, getting on Flamander early doesn't mean much if he was a rival scumbuddy.

I've still gotta think about how that vengeful vigilante fits with other flips. I've never heard of a vengeful role that had to pre pick their target.

I think the claim at least justifies why stickup waited to claim it, the reasoning there makes sense. Also explains why he didn't want to no lynch to an odd number right away.

I don't have anything else to add I guess. Waiting to see how the night goes. I have gamed out who I think each of you would NK as scum, so I want to see what happens. If there's anything I can answer about my own posts, I can do it now. Otherwise just waiting for the day to end.

WTF was with that DCB self sacrifice/flam self vote stuff though. (Don't tell us till game over if you read this, DCB.) Like, some day there will be a gambit where people unironically claim to be scum if that hasn't already happened or doesn't have some mafiascum wiki term.

ꜱʜʀɪᴍᴘ?
Just days from the final vote, and Terri Westman was nowhere to be found. Townsfolk came calling, only to find a very nice American family that had just moved here. Somehow seemingly overnight, she had sold her home and moved away. Doing anything with speed wasn’t unlike Terri, since her husband passed she rarely thought twice about doing as she pleased. Still though, she was a straight shooter, it was unlike her to up and leave. She’d felt strongly against any new business development in the town, for political reasons as well as arcane.

Was she scared of something?

The rest of her coven were, certainly, and none came visiting after she left. Without her protective aura, they could sense the thing she’d buried under the front porch. Those who passed too close got headaches and later could see it in their dreams, the ziplocked bag full of inky blackness and horror. They would forever think less of her, unsure as to how she came to be in possession of such an weapon.

The way things were going, the nightmare under her porch would be the least of their worries.


this is a stickup, Terri Westman, Lychford Vengeful Vigilante left in a hurry night five!

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're never coming back


And then there were three. No deadline unless I need to set one. Please feel free to take your time with this.

I am really thinking it's chores now.

Chores didn't mention derp a single time while derp was still alive. Not to talk about him being watched, nothing.
Derp mentions chores once, to indirectly defend him from suspicion:

derp posted:

scumpost. "hmm, he could be scum, but maybe not. its suspicious, but im not going to put even a finger let alone my neck on the line by doing something so drastic as voting"

also the whole lets kill the guy who hammered a town is such a lazy scum tactic, try to find something other than the fact that he hammered and i'll listen, except not to posts from this guy cause he's scum

chores: more opportunistic than TNL, lower effort, scummiest behaviors overall

TNL: opportunism and shifting arguments more in late game, probably good enough to pull off a high effort scum-game, why still alive?

me: perfect angel

I am feeling chores right now but only slightly, still need to read back.
