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.

I'm willing to at least take a step back to think about it.

I don't think gaspy gives a poo poo about the risk.

Why would he care about the risk as town (you said he’s showing restraint) when a backfire isn’t as costly but not as cult, when a backfire is endgaming? This isn’t a gotcha question or anything like that, I might just be missing something.

I don't think its mutually exclusive not to care about risk and not shooting a bunch of people at once. I'm saying that theres a bunch of dudes who dont like gaspy and are voting him like oil and water. And instead of getting phsycial hes doing shouting matches. I could be wrong about him worrying about gun failure, but I believe in my gut if he wants to shoot someone he will just do it.

Ah, I forgot you had been voting me.

Who else pushed for me... gx. Who you dismissed as town.

You're not on the town team. Since I'm on the town team voting for you seems like a good thing.

I know that my (Squire) guns have a chance to fail, but (possibly incorrectly?) suspected that scumguns might always either fail/backfire based on the results. I'm still unsure if people are notified of who they got guns from. But that seems irrelevant now. Assuming gaspy had multiple guns then his action didn't need to specify which gun used, so it probably doesn't matter.

Re: Toal questioning why I wouldn't give away my gun last night - didn't have a very good town read, seemed like giving away a questionably-efficient vig to a random player wouldn't be as useful as holding it for a day.

It's a moot point anyways because you can only take 1 day action a day, and a person with multiple guns can only take 1 shot a day. (It's written on the gun when you get one).

Gaspy isn't showing trigger discipline, he took a shot out of desperation at a scummy/3rd partyish? person and succeeded. It's fine. I don't think Gaspy is scum at least.

No one was pressuring me to shoot gene, not sure where you got that from.

I felt like I was probably going to be the lynch so I decided I’d see if I could take out someone I was suspicious of on the way out.

I feel like the description of the failure would have been different in this regard by the mod. My fleeting thought, that somewhat dovetailed with yours, was that the failures could have been due to people receiving one-shot docs, but a) that would have been N1 relevant, not D2, and b) again, I would have expected the flavor text to be different.

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.

I went back to try to find the bolded assertion here and I’m not seeing where it is. Can someone point me in the right direction?

If we are set on trying to find the cult recruiter today, my thought would be to start from a list of anyone who has yet to claim a class choice and narrow it down from there (based on AA’s claim that he didn’t receive a choice- figuring that the CR wouldn’t want to claim so quickly). If we can’t figure out a good target from there, dunking the already-claimed 3P isn’t a bad fallback option.

Only the role-call right now is totally ineffective. It's useless for sussing out the cult leader because there's enough information in flips to fabricate the standard I'm a chemist, I'm a squire.

This solution accomplishes nothing. You could lynch me as the fail-safe, sure... but if I was cult leader, even with the size of the game, my unconventional stratagem wouldn't be to out myself.

Clearly, the thing to do would be recruit a player, learn their details and have everything you need to coast by on publicly revealed and cult-initiate revealed info.

So like I said... cult leader, if you make it to N3, recruit me please.

You’re right in terms that once a player from each class has flipped, knowing that CPig is posting the details of each class, it wouldn’t matter. But did we know that at the start of the game? I need to go check on that and on when/if Bif claimed a class before today (posting on mobile).

I can’t find any reference/hint that CPig was going to post class details before the D1 dunk/flip. So an early D1 class claim would have still been risky for a 3P of any description.

Bif did claim Chemist relatively early on D1.

Squires knew or should have known how their gun performed in theory.
Just as chemists knew what they would have done.

3P would not have known, because I didn't, but that's not necessarily true, and I hate to dash some casing, but 3P may get access to job classes at some point, maybe not, but I don't think it's strictly prohibited.

I read it as first quote saying 'Who gave you the faulty gun, I'm playing along and contributing despite me not knowing a squire mechanic' Because squires are told that guns are unreliable and could fail.

I feel like we are arguing two sides of the same coin?

My suggestion (and perhaps it was poorly-worded) was to look for who claimed a class choice prior to knowing that we were going to get full flip information, and hunt for the 3P among the remaining players. I agree with you that the CL would likely not have claimed a class early.

The second piece of my suggestion was that failing to find a good target there, we dunk you as an already-claimed 3P. I can obviously see why you would object to this, but in regards to the first part of what I posted, I think we are talking in circles around the same idea.
