I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SCUMMER
I agree that the scumdums seem to have derailed their train immediately after I claimed, and put full force onto Dancer.

I also don't know how to read Gulag's weird message claim. Feels like a preemptive warning that if a townie detective investigated him, the result would be wrong. Especially critical given that a miller has already flipped.

Honestly, I feel like this is probably accurate, but I'd also say that your town play wasn't above suspicion. I feel/felt like there are probably millers, naive cops, insane cops, etc... at least that's what I assumed going into this game, but given the presence of conf. masons, maybe it's more traditional.

No one is going to believe them that their alignment came back wrong if they targeted gulag, and the claim puts them right back front and center at the start of day 1.

Perhaps not standard, but also not so modifier laden that results would be completely useless. My own role PM isn't too unconventional, and it does make use of some modifiers, but I'm only a cop in flavor. The actual role itself is more traditional, just includes modifiers on how it can be used, etc.

On a semi-related note, does anyone have a link to someplace with a list of roles that gently caress with night actions that are likely to be used in SA games?

You'll have to do some digging, but like every role and modifier conceivable should more or less be accounted for.

Gee, how strange that the smooth-brained, infantile scum team killed one of the confirmed town. Such a brave and controversial choice of night kill from what is surely a real think-tank of arable geniuses.

Time to look back and see if one of the knuckleheads that talked about their items had a ballpoint pen

The answer to this is no, but now that it's been revealed these "identifying items" are related to the killer, I'm rethinking my point on D1 about not claiming these. The risk here is that it may be imperfect information or useful in some other way for scum if we massclaim these, so I'm leaning towards keeping it on the downlow for at least one more day.

Also that was a pretty drat good first day/night, we eliminated two 3Ps and scum were forced to eliminate one of two confirmed town - even if this means tuppence imp will die at end of day today, he's still confirmed town till then. (Also from a game design perspective, delayed-effect lovers is a clever way to balance confirmed masons. I like it!)

P.S. Hum, why didn't you ever come back after checking into this?

I do think that the pivot off of tuppence onto Dancer looks better on your part given that Dancer was 3P.

I think Amni's jump on to Hum about Dancer being 3p looks wonky because that's basically asserting that Hum KNEW that Dancer was 3P.

Looks like an overeager scum vote, and I've already had some early game suspicion of Amni.

Birb and Amni look curious to me with their play so far today.

it said that if i was copped n1, the result would not be reliable. but it also was clearly not addressed to me. i don't think it was sent from town because this necessitates both the ability to a. know I was being framed or something and b. send the message. which seems. OP.

so either someone, probably scum is just sending out random disinformation to different people, or its just a game mechanic maybe tied to a role that gives random people messages. that may be truthful?

Bernstrike posted:

I believe both of these messages happened as stated, and the people trying to brush it off as useless (mr. steak) are suspect as a result.

I also actually am willing to believe that the Pet Detective is scum, I've seen cop roles before where the cop chooses someone to investigate and someone else gets the result. If this is the case and said cop is willing to claim who they investigated, we have a scum result to act on for today.

Well, I think Mr. Steak's aversion and my own mostly, was because gulag said all that about the message, then voted steak on feeling.

Then birb voted steak because of gulag's statement about the message, hence my vote on them.

I don't suspect the messages are fake, but I do suspect one of these two might be lying about their motives in claiming messages, favoring birb given his unwarranted vote on Steak.

Translating from drunken idiot Australian, Birb is saying the exact same thing I was yesterday at time of execution - scum have a vested interest in securing an execution that isn't them, so it's a reasonable supposition that scum were part of that quick swerve off of tuppence djinni to Dancer now that we know Dancer was 3P.

I think it's interesting that Sandwolf and mr. steak - two people I'm already suss on - were so quick to argue against this conclusion, and would vote either of them today really.
