I didn't post it because it was 3 AM and I wanted to go to sleep lol

So my ability lets me scan three people each night. I will get to know if there is scum in my scan. Obviously this ability is pretty weak in light of a recruit, but we apparently haven't had one yet so it seems important to share this now. The exact wording is that I will be told if anyone in my list is opposed to the robot masters, though my results have come back with the wording of "scum."

Anyway, night zero I was unable to scan. I tried, though!

Night one I scanned A Sometimes Food, Anomalous Amalgam, and bminus. I figured I could just go down the list from the top until a recruit happened and all my scans became useless. Scanning those three returned a result of "Your list does not contain any scum."

Night two I scanned the next three on the list: circlmastr, Dick Bastardly, and gulagdolls. Scanning those three returned a result of "Your list contains scum!!!" It even had three exclamation points.

So basically my information is that there is at least one scum within the group of circl, Dick, and gulag. Ta-da!

Mr. Steak posted:

i had been voting for solus all day before unvoting him to ask him to rolecop me. keeping me alive theough role confirmation is worth keeping him alive. i only voted infi as a 2nd choice after that, basically because i don't agree with the mod's ruling to not mk him.

now i realize that's a shallow reason to vote, so im not voting him anymore
He claims he could switch to unambiguously pro town but he’s laying off his biggest scum read so that they can confirm his role (???) in order to use a power tomorrow that he elsewhere said

Mr. Steak posted:

because scum arent going to kill me when they have so many confirmed towns to kill.

but if i hint enough that scum realizes what my role is, they'll want to kill me before the confirmed towns. but that'll be irrelevant once i use my ability anyway. so far ive gotten sort of unlucky with the lack of opportunities ti use my ability the best i can. im reaching the point where i may use it sub-optimally just to use it at all
And elsewhere has implied that scum are too busy with confirmed town to kill him but if he claims his role it will benefit scum and the sk will try to kill him regardless

the only way you can conclude that there *isnt* a serial killer is if you assert town has a reflector/pgo ability that killed humalong.

also, merk was scum for all the reasons i said on d2, which had nothing whatsoever to do with the existence of an sk

You are King, the Usurper of Dr. Wily’s castle!

During Night 3, you select two other players of your choosing. Those players become part of your scum team alongside you, permanently, unless another rule overrides their alignment. These players know that you have selected them and will join you as scum immediately. They do not know your abilities. You all have access to the Secondary Usurper chat, although only you know it as 'secondary'.

Other than selecting your scum team and the ability to perform the scum nightkill, you have no other special abilities.

You and your team win when you control a majority of the vote, assuming that there is no way for you to lose control of the majority.

"We're at one enemy left! You can do it! I believe in you!" shouts the castle. Your bionic heart is filled with cyber-determination.

Night 3 begins.



These people (presuming they're alive lmao and also actually playing lmao lmao please don't kill votefinder tia) can be lynched tomorrow without ending the game day!

imagine being town, getting scanned with two other players (one of which is the scanner themselves which I find to be a little weird I think, but maybe it makes sense based on the number of towns already confirmed?) and (if we are believing mac's claims up to this point which I don't think we have any reason not to as it all has checked out so far it seems) a scum result comes... I mean.. whats the logical straight forward conclusion? That the other player scanned is the scum of course duh

then I realized, perhaps it may not be as straight forward as that and thought to mention that we should explore all the angles.

For this I am scum....... yeah, ok that is wonderful, good job

I don't quite get the self-scan for the third person, but I honestly don't think it matters. If DB amd me both get lynched and town hasn't won, Little Mac is the next obvious target.

if we were to lynch CirclMaster today would you then be OK with us lynching you tomorrow

because your reaction screams “survival,” which if you’re town doesn’t make sense, because you’d know one of you is (probably?) the last two scum and it shouldn’t matter what order we do it in

Not that there’s a lot of scum hunting we need to do at this stage but it’s worth pointing out that the one left is almost certainly an SK, so they’re operating alone and won’t have much interaction of note with other players

Okay time to dump.

I'm Shade Man, a combo tracker/watcher. This doesn't change if I were to be scum, so when I saw merk's flip I was like "Wait am I scum?" I also didn't get a N0 action, which sucks because I tried to track GulagDolls, solely because they were scum in the last mafia game I played. Imagine if it had gone through!

I also tried to breadcrumb but breadcrumbing is just a thing I've heard of so I probably sucked at it.


N1 I watched Sandwolf. They seemed to be most aggressive in getting merk lynched, so I figured someone might target Sandwolf with either a kill or protection or something. No dice, nobody visited Sandwolf.

CirclMastr posted:

I don't know about other mafia games so I can't track that sort of thing.

N2 I tracked Solus. I was told that my target visited AA. Then the whole bus driver/role-blocker discussion happened and everything was largely internally consistent, until steak said they didn't do night visits. I thought, if I had targeted Solus and ended up targeting steak via bus, the internal consistency was lost. That's why I repeatedly asked steak to confirm they don't do night visits. But then it isn't 100% consistent anyway so I probably just don't know how bus drivers work.

N3 doesn't have a breadcrumb yet because lol. Is this even how breadcrumbs work? Anyway, N3 I tracked Solus again to see what the deal was with steak out of the picture, and I was told my action failed. Ah well.

Having said all this I am fine with me and DB being the next two lynches. Either Little Mac is honest and scum will die, or Little Mac is dishonest and scum and should die after me and DB.
