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

You’re crazy, dbd clarified that just because your dude may be a human in the show, it’s not in game if you are host aligned

Quid could still be godfather but rf didn’t claim miller

I think thats a bit too deep. Maybe theres just another layer.

So there's: Town vs Mafia vs 3rd Party on standard.

And then there's: Human or Host on another.

So you can have a Town Human or a Town Host.

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.

This isn't RF saying they are a host-aligned human?

RF clarify, is your character a human in the show but you are a host in game?

Or are you a host-aligned human in game?

Okay, but so far the cop ability we have seen looks for human or host. This would make any human that is host-aligned effectively a miller to MMT's ability.

I feel like this is clearly the most likely thing here.

I will succinctly put the assumption I am playing this game under right here.

What your character is in the show human/host is irrelevant.

Whether your character is a good or bad guy in the show is irrelevant.

In the GAME if your character is a human, you are either scum, 3p or miller.

In the GAME if your character is a host, you are either town, 3p, or godfather.

Unless DBD or someone's role based ability contradicts this assessment I will be taking this as gospel.

Pretty sure that's wrong.

You could be, say, Anthony Hopkins in game and be a Host. Nowhere would it state that you're human. Host and Human are explicitly alignments.

I'd really like RF to confirm if his role pm states if he is a host-aligned human or not.

If he is assuming he is human because of flavor reasons, it makes my assessment less accurate. If his PM states he is a human that is host-aligned, it all but confirms my assessment.

Human isn't a role.

For example the role could be miller, and the descriptive flavor could mention that they are a human who sympathizes with the hosts.

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.

He's saying right here that he's host-aligned, and not claiming Miller.

Also, I believe that what DBD is saying is that in this game,

"hosts" = "Hosts aligned = town
"humans" = Human aligned = scum

So if we're a character who is a human being in the show but Host-aligned, for the purposes of the game they would be a host. Also, this is what RF is claiming. Cool.

I thought if he a bullet didn't work on him he had to be non-host aligned, but he may be human host-aligned or 3p human. I hadn't read your post yet.

I figured he wasn't town for flavor reasons

The answer is 2 btw, I have said I don't think either you or quid are scum, because of your ability.

RF is likely town if he is indeed claiming miller.

I need to reread in order to make scum accusations.

I guess the former. Like there's nothing in my PM about me being explicitly human, but unless DBD has top secret S2 information the character I am is a human. I am not a miller.

Again, and I can't clear this up any easier than this: Humans or hosts in the ~real life show~ have zero to do with your actual actual alignment in the game.

A Human, flavorwise in this game, is scum or 3P.

A Host, flavorwise in this game, is town.

Other speculations regarding receiving said results or anything like that is fair play to openly discuss and think about, but just making it clear about hosts/humans. Purely a substitute for town and scum/3P to fit in with the flavor of the game.

Gladly. RF's MMT vote was very bad. Scummy even. The claimed daytime brutal cop is an obviously town role which is easily provable. Questioning that role on d1 is insanely bad, and something scum may be interested in doing.

However the misunderstanding regarding his character being a human in the show and a host in game and what that meant as far as to the nature of his perception about MMT's role comes across as honest. I would be highly surprised if someone who was scum would come out and say what he did.

The way tobbs came across about lando also was odd to me. I didn't like his meta assumption, and accusation of coaching/stalkering. This kind of case is extremely easy to fake as scum. However the dialogue they had with me also came across as genuine. I highly doubt that tobbs is either a miller or human aligned.
