What's your opinion on Inf? This is a hard dodge of my point above.

I don’t see a case on Infi here that isn’t predicated on some logical leaps regarding roles and the way they would work.

The case on Leith is he is playing totally unlike town Leith. Leith usually has some reads and is usually very consistent, but here he is extremely inconsistent and never seems to have any conviction supporting his statements.

My points have nothing to do with logical leaps and everything to do with Inf ensuring he couldn't be touched tonight. You don't find that scummy?

Basically I think Leith is a better vote for today. I don’t feel overwhelmingly that Infi is town or scum, if they were gonna be the lunch I wouldn’t fight it tremendously hard, the role poo poo is all very weird, but it strikes me more as town trying to pull a gotcha rather than scum setting up some really convoluted gambit.

But if it IS the latter we’ll have a better chance of figuring this poo poo out tomorrow. Let’s see if he can guess another VT or whatever.

Uh, scum know they won’t be touched so why would he go through this effort? His role isn’t even particularly useful so I half expected whoever he was trying to recruit to save him to just not do it, because why would the scum even NK him.

Basically I think what you’re saying doesn’t move my needle at all.

Infi reads more like a townie who thinks he’s gonna save the game WAY more than scum pulling an increasingly more convoluted gambit

Tracker? Rolecop? Jailer? Any town targeting role that potentially would give info on his actions and movement?

The post I directly quoted of yours?

You said "I don't see a scum motivation for wanting roles avoiding him because as scum, he wouldn't be touched." You know there are other roles in the game designed to gather info that...don't belong to scum, right?

Let me walk you through this again:

Scum Inf, after making a bold claim, set himself up to not be tracked, to not be jailed, to not be rolecopped by publicly asking PQ to nexus him. That's a safe move because PQ is claimed 3P and we can't rely on PQ going "no, I'm not gonna do that, don't worry." So Inf just gave himself carte blanche to do WHATEVER HE WANTS tonight, free of being targeted, unless town power roles want to potentially waste their actions on the offchance that PQ doesn't do this.

Also PQ is supposedly dying tomorrow so we can't even GET followup information on what PQ ACTUALLY did, which wouldn't be trustworthy anyway.

What in Inf's actions here is looking townie to you, Sandwolf??

Sandwolf
Jan 23, 2007

i'll be harpo


yo honestly quid I see what you’re saying but, this is occam’s, I think it’s too much

Like, did he predict PQ was gonna claim nexus before he claimed??? I just don’t get it. Unless he’s just continually reading and manipulating the scenario as it develops but, yeah, I’m gonna take the solution that seems most obvious:

He’s town and he thinks his role is more useful than it is.

Quidthulhu
Dec 17, 2003

Stand down, men! It's only smooching!

He doesn't need to predict PQ doing it to take advantage of the situation as scum?? He claimed, PQ claimed, he took advantage of it. How does that clear him??

Sandwolf
Jan 23, 2007

like, why wouldn’t a jailor want to target him now? Because PQ is gonna nexus him? I just.. I can’t get this to be as obvious as you guys in my head. I see what you’re saying, claim x and then continue to use your...tracker or something to find a doc.

But like.. to get to that point.. you need to make so many judgments about his actions, he’d be unnecessarily painting a big target on his back. What was the point of engaging yuming? Get her to claim something? Where’d “chocolate cop” or whatever the gently caress come from? Why go into this detail about smells and dangerous smells? Where does ALL of that come from? Thin air? Sure, but I don’t think so.

Everyone is right, I am not playing my normal self because I can't get reads because these are non-standard roles. In fact, drat weird roles, including mine.

I'm Tsuji Izanagi, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologist, town shield.

Apparently the effort to get me out from behind all the equipment causes the attempt to fail.

It gives me 1-shot immunity to daykills, and it auto-activates when I get to -1 on the lunch vote so that's wasted now, thanks guys.

I still have the 1-shot immunity to the day-vig.

If no one votes for Infi, I'll vote for myself at t-3 minutes to at least prove that much.

Hmmmm I think that sounds more like a scum role.

However more and more I think Infini is full of poo poo in that his role doesn’t match the cool flavor of the game at all.

The Shima Hospital crew were certainly on edge day two. A few had claimed they had been injected by some sort of syringe, another was found with a hole in their head, and the rest were split, furiously arguing about who the traitors were, and more importantly, who they could trust to have their back in the dark hallways of this hospital.

And the way the day ended up, Inf and Leith found themselves taking the brunt of the accusations.

"What's a chocolate town anyway? It makes no sense!" some pondered loudly, others found Leith's actions and speaking pattern too strange to trust and wanted him gone.

The crew eventually settled on Inf, who was promptly thrown out of the hospital's front doors, with every entrance back in bolted or boarded shut. You know, an argument could be made that it's safer out there than back in this hospital. At least he has a chance to survive out there...


Infinitum, Machi Hiroshi, Dispensing Optician, chocolate town, has been voted out D2.

Please send your night actions in within 24 hours.

The deaths kept piling up, as did the stench. It wasn't a pleasant smell as the hospital crew woke up in the morning to find three (!) of their own dead, two piled in the corner as if supporting each other while suffering the same fate.

Another person, yuming, was apparently so much of a threat that they threw her out of the window afterwards. A shell casing could be seen on the floor, with glass shattered everywhere, while the corpse lay splayed out in the courtyard.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

Mr. Steak posted:

Not really. I had the same thought but then I realized I would probably make a n0 poison take an extra night to kick in. Telling someone at the start of d1 that they will be dead at the end basically kills any desire to actually play.
