I’ll help. I tracked DB to Sal last night and I tracked DB to IS night 1, he’s definitely a roleblocker

I do find it a little strange that you didn't call DB out on D2 for moving N1 if you tracked him, since he stated D2 he was nothing besides a bomb. Did you miss that until now?

Missed this apparently while I was typing. Still think you had enough to challenge him a little more forcefully but since we already had a dunk target lined up and you weren't 100% I can see why you might have waited and also retargeted DB again. Nice work.

The second one is more likely. Alternatively, there might be some redirect fuckery:

Yami Fenrir posted:

A note about result language

1. A result that successfully targets will yield the result. "You successfully x your target"
2. A result that does not successfully target will yield the result. "Your action fails."
3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result, this is a mod error.
4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected.

Some players think this is kind of bastardy but this is (kinda) how I run my games - example:

- a Tracker targets you, who is performing no action
- the Tracker's action gets redirected
- the new target performs an action
- the Tracker is told "You track your target to X" but has no way of knowing that they've been redirected

(personally I run my games specifying the (new) target in the result PM, which erases this confusion but can cause some new confusion - I've definitely had players PM me asking me if I hosed up their result PM)

Yes and to be fair both times my PM did not mention DB by name, but two nights in a row I tracked ~someone~ to a person who was blocked and that seems like too much of a coincidence even with redirects or what have you

If DB is not lying and is town:

- He has a role that is only beneficial to himself in terms of taking someone else in the game out with him if he dies

- He probably should be willing to hammer himself to avoid losing two town members on the same day, something he's already shown he won't do

- He also revealed this five minutes before deadline D1

- He also has been unlucky enough to have been impersonated or whatever to be seen moving in the night by different people on different nights somehow despite not having the ability to move himself

Ok, let's play along with this game. So, the scum busdriver decided to bus you with the scum roleblocker two nights in a row.

For their town target, they chose to target a town player whose claimed ability provides no-utility / negative utility to town.

For their scum target, instead of choosing the killer and/or poisoner, they chose the roleblocker.

Dick, you better get to work finding the world's worst scum busdriver in order to clear your name and prove you've been set up. You should entice this person to hammer you today and then we'll salute your brave sacrifice when you blow them up.

All of that hinges on there even being a scum bus driver to begin with so... all of that is possible in theory. Or maybe it was a framer or some kind of imposter role idk

I know it's basically meaningless, but DB, are you willing to go on the record that if you're at -1, let's say 30 min before deadline, you will self-hammer?

Because at this point, if you're town, then the only way hal isn't caught lying is if the same redirect happened on two consecutive nights. Which, of course, is a valid scum strategy... but we gotta lynch someone.

It's also possible that the busdriver chose the one person that they were confident wouldn't be able to gain any trust by claiming verifiable night actions.

Not choosing one of the killing roles, yeah that's weird. Killer might be compulsory ninja, but IP obviously wasn't.

How can you imply that Sal, literally watched and got our first scum kill, was bussing? Sacrificing a scumpal d2 is a very bold, dare I say stupid, move. Which is why I don't think Sal is trying to fool town.
