I assumed once we saw a cult flip that that is what we were dealing with, like in scooby. Now that we know there are both, I think both are things we should be pursuing.

I don't think it is.

Cults are only dangerous if they get off the ground, because people change alignments and you can't trust previously cleared people to remain town.

It's still good to scumhunt, but I'm going to focus on finding a cult recruiter immediately.

I suspect Sugar Cube is a 3rd party then. But yeah maybe we should focus on actively scum hunting while we have the rest of the day.

Hello all, weekends during fall are a little busy for me.

I skimmed what I missed. Do we have confirmation somewhere (asking because I’m not familiar with FFT flavor) that Bif’s flip means a cult, are is it simply an assumption because she did not flip scum-aligned? Could not not simply be some kind of a 3P group as opposed to a cult?

Her town alignment was struck out and replaced. That is usually a cult.

Why are you acting confused about gun mechanics if you have a gun friendo?

Toalpaz posted:

Yeah, I just read sugar cube's response. You should still know the gun is unreliable as a squire. Anyways that pings me.

This set of conversations, it's just a tidbit but it's more than most people have to ask for. Sugar cube was either lying/joking about their role or the knowledge of it's mechanics. I don't know why sugar cube would hold onto their squire gun last night, or why Sugar would try and imply wrong things about the nature of guns if they had it. The only thing I can think is that it's probably actually a poor 3rd party trying to claim squire.

It’s not a high horse. You seem desperate to do anything to claim that you are town, even though analyzing that shot for more than two seconds does nothing to clear your name.

Dude, I don't for a second think you are on a scum team with former living player GX.

I think you are the most likely Cult recruiter to grab Bif n1.

Hell, even you did not think GX was scum before you shot her. You thought she was the cult recruiter. So, nice shot? But the recruiter wasn't GX, who do you think it is if it isn't you?

If you’re going to cite scumhunting I’ve still done more work than most here, yourself included so physician lynch thyself I guess.

Also would the cult recruiter risk firing a gun in this setup? Really? Cause I doubt it.

They would if they were going to be the lynch. The momentum was against you and barring a miracle we both know you were the lynch target. What did you have to lose? A 100% chance vs a 33?ish% chance of death.

My 2 cents would be at the very least give gaspy a pass for the day, He is responsible for a scum kill anyway you look at it. Cult paranoia is dumb, we can't really do anything but yell at phantoms about who the recruiter is, pure speculation we didnt even know about a cult until a few hours ago.

Dancer is maybe with the nudge for roleclaims? But honestly not sure if everyone claiming is good for town or not. If it's good for town I'm a squire (per earlier). If it's bad for town then I'm a squire who will probably get killed.

No I’m serious. You cased like 2 people day one and then did weird meta policy votes for the entire rest of the game. On me. Who was town.
