Nah you wanna framer the target you're killing, that's the whole point of the role. If I were maf the two realistic options would be framer or janitor, both of which would have targeted the night kill but wouldn't have done anything since the BG stopped the death.

That would be silly though, you're banking on the player to investigate, but death would prove otherwise.

Janitor would work But framer would not.

I'll have to make the roles list tonight

I want to hear his reasoning about these things. I don't think a townie would actually be so blase (spelling?) about such a powerful role.

Okay work for real now.

would you tell me how will this question help determine whether sal is scum or not? to hear his 'reasoning' seems a weak justification

can you also specify where you think sal is being blasé cause i mostly just got cranky

I would argue that the sal wagon was gaining momentum when he claimed. Or rather, I understand why he felt the need to claim. The only thing I don't like about the claim is he didn't list the 3 people that visited me right away.


Also, Kash-ArbC is NOT cleared as town. He could have been trying to janitor the nk.

agree with this post

also i forget how to summon votefinder if someone could remind me :/

i assume we can't vote for people until after the sal trial is done

It's because everyone has a role and there are limited slots. The sooner you figure out what the 3 random towns are the sooner scum have their backs up basically against the wall. I only played the online version a handful of times admittedly, but scum won every game where people weren't pretty proactive with sharing roles and info.

Not saying a mass roleclaim is really the best route per se, but the trial format allows you to force people who pinged you into doing something on your time rather than at their leisure without the hammer being a guaranteed lynch.

Like it's not even bad for the town that Sal is out, if he get's rb'ed we know one of the maf roles (and they're not using it on a potential jailor or such), if he gets targeted for a night kill we still have plenty of potential for protection or investigation that would make it a trade, if they leave him be because targeting is too risky then he gives us free info every day.

We have a basically confirmed investigative role and enough hidden stuff that outright attacking him is dangerous for scum. It's not a bad spot at all, particularly with the neutral evil and a mafioso biting it night 1.

Keep in mind It's still the guilty/inno/abstain phase. Votes after he got put up for trial can matter in terms of what you think players are thinking but I don't believe they roll over or matter mechanically.

ArbitraryC posted:

Make sure to inno Sal tho, or at least lynch me first. The only way it's possible for Sal to still be scum at this point is if we're both maf. In any situation other than that, the only way he would have known I visited him in addition to the BG is if his lookout claim is honest.

part of me was thinking arbc2 could still be scum just using sal for cover, but if so why ask to be killed first. lookout seems like a role scum would want to get dunked for sure tbh. still a bit suss but less so.

hm i guess i wasn't that impressed by the case on sal anyways. i see what you're saying but it still seems a bit weird. i'll trust others with the math stuff, agree we are in a pretty good position from last night though.

I think everything Pmush has done today has been weird AF. However it's so weird and mind boggling that I would have to think Pmush is town. No scum would be that idiotic to draw that much attention to themselves.

Okay with a few hours to think on it (and stop overheating, literally and metaphorically), if KashArb2WhateverTheFuck says he can confirm Sal, then I'm not going to vote against an uncounterclaimed role. My gut doesn't like it, but my brain says it's the best choice.

Also sorry for being a dickhead this morning.

I'm pretty okay with Merk, Hal, or Chaos just based on the vote but again it really could just be afk/not understanding precisely how the trial system worked round 1. If someone has any strong suspicions of anyone based on the vote that put Sal up in first place I'd agree with that too.

I find the gimmick (2 posts that disagree with each other) really annoying, but at the same time. However I'm not opposed to putting Merk on the block and hearing a defense of actions.
