Murmur Twin is no stranger to violence, and has no problem using it in the right circumstances. She woke up that day with an itch inside of her brain, and walked into town with that feeling now materializing inside of her gut. She rubbed her finger on the trigger for at least 10 minutes as she observed and listened to all of the conversations going on around her.

She knew.

Most of Westworld is scripted and designed from commands programmed into the Hosts. Quidthulhu seemed to be going off of those commands to God knows where, and had to pay with a shot to the head. (Assuming Murmur Twin has good intentions herself, maybe it was scripted for her to shoot Quidthulhu on Day 1 of a Westworld Mafia game.)

The bullets sprayed out of her shotgun and exploded into the face of Quidthulhu and time stopped for just a second. As it resumed, he merely shook it off, blood still splattered across his face with a bullet hole on the side of his head, and continued walking on his path to the bar.


Nobody died. The votes will not be reset and the day continues.

No way, really?

I'm not going to fullclaim yet but I have a dayvig that kills humans and doesn't kill hosts. Quid is town.

I wanted to shoot someone who

(a) was probably scum, but
(b) if town, would be useful to have confirmed, and
(c) is someone I have trouble reading

I really did think that Quid was scum, but I figured worst case scenario is that he's confirmed town (at least to me) and I could move on and look for stronger suspects. I also considered Merk, Lumpen, and KB but of the four thought Quid was most likely to be scum.

I thought about a whole bunch of ways to play this (like asking everyone to name their top three scumreads) but ehhhh I hate organizing stuff like that. If people think I'm lying or played that scummy, feel free to call me out on it.

If MMT's shot doesn't kill Town I can see why she'd feel free to use it so blatantly. The thing I'm having a hard time with is why she thought Quid was scummy in the first place. Quid's play has seemed like their standard town play to me.

If Quid comes back and claims bulletproof I think MMT will be a good vote, but aside from that I'm not sure what to think. If MMT is to be believed then Quid is effectively confirmed town.

MMT what was it that made you so sure that Quid was scum?

Tolly can't have anything to say that's damning.

I'm town, so a N0 cop claim would quickly be revealed as a terrible scum gambit as soon as I flip.

She can't have seen me do anything N0, since I have no N0 action.

She can claim that I'm playing the same way here as I did the last game (where we were scum together) but that's a meta argument and also wrong.

I don't really like when anyone feels the need to offer (multiple!) defenses before the case/claim has even been made. It would have been better (but still kinda bad) to just have said "Tolly can't have anything on me" but feeling the need to preemptively offer defenses for any possibility screams self-conscious.

Yeah, I'll just not defend myself against baseless accusations because that's the town thing to do.

I figured I'd nip it in the bud and let everyone know that there aren't going to be any revelations.

There can't be any, unless those revelations are that I'm town.

I really don't like this unvote, it speaks of being very self conscious about how her reads are be interpreted. If your gut feeling or case was that strong having it cave under so little pressure is dubious.

I think it's scummy, but I'm trying to wrap my head around why scum would have an ability like MMT just used. I want to hear if Quid has any feedback or possible counterclaim to why he'd survive getting shot in the head even more now.

It's highly unlikely scum would have an ability like that.

Quid doesn't need to claim anything. Hell, even the flavor points strongly to him being a host.

MMT what was it that made you so sure that Quid was scum?

I covered it in the post where I shot him (his "is Tolly new?" felt fake) but will freely acknowledge that a lot of it was a meta/gut read. I didn't think he sounded like he was coming from a "hunting for scum" place.

I wouldn't so much say that I was "so sure" he was scum, it's more that I was suspicious of Quid and figured worst case scenario, I confirm him as town. Full disclosure: part of my thought process involved knowing that Quid has been getting frustrated with Mafia lately, so I figured I'd give him the gift of either being confirmed or not having to scum. Admittedly, I thought it was going to be the latter.

If I didn't fire it today, then (a) I risk being nk'ed n1 and not being able to use it and (b) then I'd probably have spent the next 3 pages obnoxiously slapfighting with him and I figured sparing the thread that was pro-town :j:
