If someone has a great non-AS scum case today, I'm all for looking at that. Otherwise AS is kind of a detriment to town going forward. If I were scum I would want AS around as long as possible after that claim unless I was totally convinced she was a master scum hunter who would break the game open if left alive.

This is an excellent point.

Does a bomb role actually exist? That’s the only reason I’m wary of a soda lynch.

Yeah it does. But most likely that would just kill the person who hammered. We can always try and make whoever seems scummiest hammer

For what it's worth I believe ASoda's claim 100% but it does put us in an uncomfortable position of having to dunk someone who is almost definitely town without being able to scumhunt.

Personally I do not like the way Hal is arguing, and appears to be moving the goalposts multiple times on reasons we should dunk AS.

Also that "who would want AS in LYLO" situation is incredibly petty, imo, and speaks of a weird level of confidence in AS' dunk, which does not seem a pro-Town attitude to have, PGO Death-Miller or no.

I am currently preferring Hal over any sort of narrative claimed on Soda.

AS has boxed us in. Can't investigate. Scum won't kill. Will flip scum. They either stay around as a distraction or we get it over with.

this is true, killing me is the best outcome today sadly but thats ok, i still win with town

keane is pinging me, mostly re: this post

CCKeane posted:

So here's why I'm suspicious, here.

Atomic Soda just made a death miller, PGO claim, right? So claiming death miller is fine and all, but then AS makes the PGO claim, which eliminates most potential benefits of the position (while also eliminating some negatives - a bus driver makes AS another night kill possibility)

But why mention BK and Mona like this? Because AS just outted BK and Mona if they are power roles. For no reason.

So I suspect there's some back end treachery going on here, and I don't know even to figure out the exact details, but something stinks a bit.

keane is a ~legendary~ player right. firstly, i already pointed out the first bit, claiming as pgo removes all the benefit from the role. if i had claimed just death miller, i bet that a cop would have tried to check me out during the night and got themselves shot. scum are not going to prioritise me as a target when i'm an excellent push later. claiming death miller w/o claiming pgo would have been heaps worse than claiming them both, and i think keane knows this.

his second point is that "i just outted bk and mona power roles". i don't think he can believe this genuinely. the options are:

1. i'm scum or 3p, in which case how the hell would i know.
2. i'm town and i'm a dumbass outing power roles - more realistic, but i'm not that stupid. in any case again, how would i know.

keane can't legitimately think that i'm outing power roles here, so why is he pushing it like that? i think he's using my silly joke to see if he can get any confirmation of that or not from others.

finally, the last line. he's definitely voting me here and it is on the basis that there is treachery and it stinks. he shifts later to asking me how i'd be an asset, moving away from his implications that i'm somehow dodgy.

CCKeane posted:

I voted you as a goof, but it looks like I made the right call.

Please explain how you think you would be an asset to town.

BK, Mona, what is your response to this?

i've already acknowledged that i'm not an asset to town, and that town should kill me today. what happened to the "something is fishy" from earlier?

i think keane is acting suss, with subtle fishing and slippery insinuations, and possible scum ##unvote ##vote keane

I agree Keane pushing the whole power role outing thing is weird af.

The way I see it, if lynching AS is the expected outcome of the claim, then why try to shade AS at all?

It's odd, and I don't like it. I think Keane is worthy of intense scrutiny moving forward.

What Does It Mean

I believe her claim which means she is likely town and would not like to execute her as it does nothing to forward the game for town but waste a lynch and give the scum a free nk

I would prefer to lynch someone who is actually on the scum team

Barring that her lynch is better than say, a lurker lynch (which frequently happens d1) since we avoid redirect shenanigans with the PGO

AS is the clear vote for today, feel free to keep in mind what she is saying for the future I suppose, but there are zero reasons to not vote her today, it's clearly a role that should be eliminated even if everything she said is completely on the level, which is dubious at best.

I'll gladly apply the hammer if folks are worried about a bomb.

Let's also take this apart further: Are these the only options? They are not, and signaling exists as an option.

Let's look at AS's claim and how Mona, one of the named players, responded to it.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3857599&userid=178848

The above is Mona's post history. I'm linking it here so everybody inclined to take a look can see how many of the posts are directly related to AS and Mona's reaction to AS.

I think ASoda is a fine player and I get wanting to claim PGO because it's a really tricky role to play around, the main way they're useful as a power role is by trying to get scum to run into them, as has been discussed, which is now out the window. The way they're responding to you feels like towny who knows they got a role that can't be very useful to town.
