all that remained to hope

there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should

We keep the advantage by not lunching anyone.

Terrible idea. This setup is close to all-Vanilla when you think about it. Would you want to no-lynch if it was all-Vanilla? Lynching is the only way Town can win.

First, that should say Huma; phone autocorrected. Second, I feel like probably Hal for the third; reading his posts, it feels like white noise and agreement posts. But it's important to note that there is a difference in degrees here; I'm calling Hal to reach three, specifically.

Dang I filled it in with Harold Krell's initial claim of SCUM on Humalong, fixed the bottom part but didn't fix the matrix.

You can't rule out Residue; scum rolecop happens first, if they visited N0 then a SCUM result is possible.

It's in the OP, at the bottom of the quoted rules:

The order of operations for this game is as follows:

Night-kill/rolecop -> All non-Residue Cops -> Residue Cop

But you could 50% rule them out, right? There were 4 Scum results, and a maximum of 2 caused by Residue, so the 4 people who got SCUM results are half-ruled-out of being the Residue Cop. Is that... right?

Yep. I'm actually noting those type of things in my sheet as personal notes (chances for Residue, Random likelihood, etc.). It only comes into play in LYLO, but may help to make a decision? I don't know, that's when you start to move out of certainty and into gambling.

Everybody gathered around Mr. Humalong. It seemed obvious that he was the murderer.

So they bludgeoned him to death with their truncheons, because the armorer was out to lunch and they couldn't requisition their handguns.

After they finished and left Mr. Humalong as a thoroughly beaten corpse, they discovered something unnerving amidst his possessions.

It wasn't a knife. It was a copy of the famous self-help book "Going With The Crowd: Why Believing Everything Everyone Else Does Can Be Profitable".

Mr. Humalong, Bandwagon Cop, was beaten to death on Day 1!

That's not possible unless a Town lied about their N0 results.

Even if both Scum falsely claimed Town results from N0, the 9 Town results should have been 5 TOWN and 4 SCUM, which would make the Bandwagon return TOWN. So someone has to have lied, or the mod hosed up, or I am misunderstanding the Bandwagon Cop role.

Agreed; which means we can't even trust the chart because someone lied.

This is now an unofficial VT unless/until the SANE/INSANE flip, and then we can use their results. But someone in town lied and hosed us over.

Are we allowed to know what would happen if/when there is a tie in results for Bandwagon/Contrarian?

Ironically, the liar isn't you, b-, or GenGirl; your lie would make TOWN results more, not less, prevalent.

If anyone would lie as Town, it'd be Krell.

I know I wouldn't, I fully believe Byers wouldn't do that as Town and then make a spreadsheet, Sal wouldn't do that as Town, AA wouldn't, Chaoslord wouldn't, Hal wouldn't.

Krell would. Unfortunately that would also make him Town, and so an... unoptimal flip. But maybe worth lynching just so he can't intentionally gently caress up the chart every day.
