And then you add on top that tracker is a rather weak investigative role. I'd also be tempted to draw N2 instead of using my action.

I'd rather kill Sal tonight (or binus)

I misread your post but holy poo poo tracker is not a weak role at all. I really don't understand why a tracker, after 3 nights, does not have any verifiable taking results.

I really dont think IS is scum guys, he got jailed last night and my attempting to give him a flag proves it? Unless im missing something? Which is likely?

what's that got to do with anything there's more than one scum and lotsa random powers flying around willy nilly

N2- I again drew because tracking in a game like this didn't seem as strong as the possibility of drawing better cards.

haha nah, this reads like trying to sound valuable to town but not having to provide data for that claim

oh good Sal already said this

IllegallySober posted:

I suppose that's one way you could look at it. On the other hand, I've also stated the cards I drew instead of tracking so unless you think I'm really good at making up card draw possibilities including flavor names for a game I know nothing about (or you think I'm lying about knowing nothing about it?) then at minimum I have excuses for the nights I didn't track. I don't know what to say about what happened N3 when I tried to jail you but I also called out immediately that my action failed.

"I suppose you could think I'm scum stuffing around trying to claim tracker without tracking... but if I wasn't tracking, how do I know all about these other cards I used while I was busy not tracking, huh?!"

Good point. I’m getting flashbacks to the dbz2 game when bird strike fakeclaimed tracker and didn’t have a single result for the first 5 days. It was just 5 days of “tracked xx, went nowhere” lol

I mean, I get that this is something reasonable people can disagree with, but the way I see it, case in point. Birb could get away with that specifically because tracker sucks (well, no it doesn't, it can absolutely nail people to the wall in the right circumstances, but it's on the weaker side).

And it bugs me that you continue bringing up this point. Do you honestly genuinely believe that the alleged tracker IS had 3 nights to do his tracking? If you want to question his claim, question N2, or question N3 under the belief that he's lying about being blocked. It's as certain as we can be of almost anything that he couldn't possibly track anyone N1.

You could have still drawn those cards without being the tracker.

Fair. It was really more in response to Sal calling the whole claim fake, but you're right that I can't prove the existence of my tracker card beyond providing the name of it, as I have. But either I then had to draw that card N3, or I have to have made up at least one of the cards I stated, right?

I mean, if I truly was scum I could also be getting fed card names/abilities from my scumbuddies, I suppose. But I think pretty much everybody paying attention would agree my play this game has not suggested that I'm some mastermind at work here.

I half disagree? Even vanilla roles can do plenty of actions. What we do have though is at least one role-block, and an arguably genuine reason to do something other than your track action.

Sure. I’m vanilla and can technically do more than just draw a card (I can trade), but afaik my action doesn’t involve visiting a player. I could be wrong, I just figured basic card actions (draw,trade etc) are different than PR abilities
