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:

Okay that is something I actually believe. I've read more than a few slapfights involving either you or Quidthulu. Inclined to trust MMT now, unless Quid comes back with a BP claim.

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, does your role say it doesn’t kill Hosts, or it doesn’t kill Host-aligned, specifically?

My shot doesn't kill Hosts, but it doesn't specifically say Host-aligned.

Hmmm that is potentially a good catch.

On a re-read, my shot doesn't kill hosts, but can kill humans. I admittedly took it as a straightforward "live if town, die if scum".

Ok this is probably a mistake but I feel like it's worth mentioning because we're starting to get led down this path.

I am not a host, but I am Host Aligned. I'm assuming I'm not the only one, and that there are non-Host Aligned host characters.

ie Don't make flavour cases.

But it triggers off of alignment, right? Like, a scum aligned character who is a host would be Human aligned or whatever because that's a totally different faction.

Characters from the actual show that are hosts or human have literally no bearing on anything in the game, just so future posts don't get brought up about that.

50 pounds of recap.

50 is injected with mystery something.

MMT is a flavor brutal cop.

Quid is a host.

Quid is therefore town, godfather or 3p.

MMT is either town or 3p, because that role doesn't make sense as scum if scum are primarily humans and town are primarily hosts.

Does it confirm them? No.

Does it make them far less likely to be baddies? Yes.

MMT and quid would both be terrible d1 lunches and anyone considering them should feel bad.

Also presumably if I were Godfather I'd still be Human-Aligned and therefore would be dead now.

Yeah ok I guess that stuff makes sense ##unvote

MMT is more likely 3P. If her role specifically lets her kill Non-Hosts only, AND we know that there are Host aligned Humans (ie if she shot me I'd presumably die and I'm town), and we can assume there are Scum Aligned Hosts, her role doesn't make sense for Town OR Scum.

Disagree with this. The flavor is pretty clearly laid out to show that it wouldn't effect hosts.

That would mean it's purely a flavor gun and would be useless as a tool that gives information.

What DBD said is that flavor (character from the show) and alignment (human vs. Host) might not line up.

If RF is human-aligned, he's scum. I think he's saying he's host aligned but has a human character for flavor (since it was all randomized).

I have missed a large part of the day that wasn't focused on me. I need to call out dgk on an inconsistency and will do so when I am back home.

Have to read up on some of these others, but I am also in agreement that RF is starting to look phony.

Are you trying to say you don't think host/human has bearing on alignment in a general sense?

My interpretation of it is that hosts from the show may be humans in the game, and humans from the show may be hosts in the game. This would mean human aligned hosts would be godfathers, and host aligned humans would be millers.

I'm not sure how mmt's ability makes sense otherwise.

So RF has effectively claimed miller in the thread, and the only way quid could be human aligned is if he is a godfather.

Is anyone else following, or am I just a crazy man?
