I still think how aggressive Hal went in on AS was way too harsh for what was going on, personally, and god a bad vibe from their OMGUS on me when I pointed this out.

I would gladly dunk Fisk over AS were it not for them being replaced out.

I'm looking a bit closer at Sober's vote on Keane and I don't like it, not one bit.

moat if we are both town my happiness will be complete but now i've sobered up somewhat you should probably kill me today.

the best and greatest rule with mafia is play to win and i am town but boy howdy i'm also a paranoid gun owner death miller (not sure if my flip is the scum alignment tho)

i am not a good enough player to make this work in towns favour and i don't want cops/docs dying to a misplaced hail of bullets. claiming is a problem also cause if scum have a redirector they just gunna feed townies into my fire, but i think its better than sitting on this info.

please kill me painlessly, and win as town for my sacrifice

if you let me live (don't) i'm pretty sure ecco said that bk and monathin were immune to my paranoia and should visit anytime!

Emphasis mine. I'd vote AS right now for this mismatch between what I recall her saying later that Keane jumped on, but at the same time I'm struggling with something that I'm uncertain anyone has answered thus far: Why does a scum ASoda make this play right out of the gate, unprompted?

I assumed there was a tip off between that post and tagging Mona and BK.

Slamburger
Jun 27, 2008

I've been thinking more and I've reversed my position on AS upon further consideration of Monathin's claim, and a closer reading of the flavor text in my PM (I usually just gloss over flavor -- sorry Ecco). The flavor implies all this confusion and distrust amongst the factions, so I believe there are a lot more of these "death millers" -- which is inaccurate -- more like ambiguous alignment flips. I think AS made a mistake by full claiming and kind of screwed herself, but at this point I'm inclined to believe she is truly a town PGO and worth keeping around.

##unvote

Don't know who to vote for now since I was kind of hitching my wagon to that and waiting for Day 2, and none of the other cases seem great. Hurray Day 1! Also I may not be around for deadline, so I'll just be super helpful today.

I appreciate that you actually thought this through as part of your push on AS, cheers as that makes me feel better about you. That's a valid point. As the far more attractive successor of BK I can confirm that I have no connection to AS!

That point aside which I hadn't actually thought about, my initial thoughts on AS' claim are that it seems to come from a genuine place - PGO can be just as much of a liability for town as an asset, and frankly it's a role I'd hate to be given. I don't blame her for just claiming right out of the gate.

On the topic of flavor my own flavor implies a lot of ambiguity over alignments as well, so n'thing that assessment.

Also clarifying, I'm coming around on ASoda as I continue my reread, despite the cop thing I pointed out initially. Given what I've seen of her play, she's good but not super duper detail oriented so I can totally see her losing the thread on the cop thing between posts. The fact that she's cited the wiki a bunch means she put actual thought into the role's utility.

On that same line of thinking, AS probably lied about knowing BK and Mona are PRs.....?

So I guess either way it looks bad for AS. I dunno.

I should have quoted this with the previous post, so consider it a mafia edit I suppose. He feels self-conscious need to clarify himself and back away from pointing at the people he just called out as having PRs.

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.

Dick makes his post a handful of posts later, in direct reference to, presumably, my post here.

Slamburger
Jun 27, 2008

My further setup speculation thoughts are that if there are more ambiguous flips, thats very anti-town and (one would hope) would be balanced by more investigative roles. The fact that a PGO claimed is actually really good in light of this possibility and could end up being very pro-town.

without knowing all of the roles, it's impossible to know why scum would do anything.

Hm I did skip this though, thank you. I glazed over it a bit because the rest of your post is thoughtfully analyzing the claim (and again it jibes with what you just said, though I missed it), whereas DickB's post only focuses on that. In that context though it's certainly not as significant as I thought it was.

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.

This also doesn't sit well with me, in the context of Keane having posted about PRs first.
