So the only explanation from flips and claims we have seen for there being no kill N1 is Sandwolf's 1-shot jail, and if he used that N1 the only indicator I can see is a few mentions of vague suspicion of Amnistar. Otherwise all he talks about is AA. He certainly didn't jail dy, we know that. Am I missing some other thing that could have stopped a kill?
We should acknowledge that the scum powers are non-traditional here. I think if Sandwolf used his jail he would have claimed it, since it's a 1-shot and no reason not to.

Hal Incandenza posted:

If Sandwolf didn't jail someone and stop the kill then the other option is that was when the bomb or whatever was planted instead of doing a kill. That ALSO couldn't be dy, because if he planted a bomb on amnistar then AA would have tracked him unless dy somehow was track immune but that seems incredibly unlikely. Plus unless dy got AA's entire role PM I don't know how he would know to say he didn't get a message that AA visited him.

In order for it to be dy, he would have to be able to plant bombs, not done it N2 and known to lie about AA, and Sandwolf would have to have jailed one of IS/Toal/kaschei but he doesn't really mention them at all, he only mentions Amnistar.
Anything could have happened here. It is unlikely that the bomb was planted on N1, that's so early to have targeted b and AA who weren't paired until later in the game.

I think for the purposes of this vote you should assumed that I could have planted that bomb had I been scum. Just make the call from behavior.

Hal Incandenza posted:

So, I think it has to be quid or amni, and if Amni truly is unable to kill tonight I suppose the right vote is Quid, who I have felt was scummy all game. But at this point I feel a lot of evidence is pointing towards Amni too, just hope he truly is blocked from killing tonight.

dy, what do you think?
I've been trying not to push Quid too hard, because from my perspective it is the only right call.

Things were tense, as there seemed to be little, if any room for error. With most station operations shut down in the aftermath of Van Der Waals' death, putting the wrong person in suspended animation could leave them without enough hands to keep things from going completely off the rails. Especially if the conspirators killed again.

On the other hand, they weren't sure they could afford the time to let Logistics get back up and running. What if there was another bomb?

After much debate, it was decided that Dr. Unn Threestars would have to go. He hadn't been very forthcoming with information, nor a major participant at meetings. Furthermore, what had Medical done to stop the virus? The death toll had grown to over 1000, and at this point, it looked like the deaths would only stop once everyone on board the station had caught the virus and was consequently either resistant to further infection, or dead.

The scans turned up negative. He'd been trying his best to do his job, even if he hadn't had much success. It was too late to continue deliberations, though, so they agreed they'd all get a few hours of sleep and reconvene. A security detail was dispatched outside each council member's quarters and they slept fitfully, hoping for the best.

Fortunately, there were no further deaths that night, aside from those caused by the virus of course. Now things really were down to the wire however. There was a decision to make, and it would surely decide the fate of the station, possibly even the sector.


Quidthulhu, Dr. Unn Threestars, Chief of Medical (Town-Aligned Vanilla) has been put in suspended animation D5!

If there were any N6 actions, they have been submitted in advance in order to expedite the endgame and the results PMed prior to this post. We can therefore continue immediately.

No one died N5.

It is now D6!

That was my thinking as well. Except clearly B- didn't target me, like you're claiming was the plan, otherwise I would be in the posse.

you would have done a better job claiming that b- targetted someone that died to join the posse, so there was no chance of being caught out.

Both of them were targeted by ASF so that makes this MYLO.

If b- had been able to recruit someone last night and AA hadn't died the posse would have retained a NK. AA could obviously catch the last scum.

There is no way those guys would agree that anyone but me would do the posse kill, if I even tried to get out of doing it I would have no logical explanation why

As for why you aren't recruited into a posse, I don't know the answer. Maybe the explosion took priority over all actions, who can say? There are more logical answers to that than to anyone but me doing the posse kill

You clearly have to argue that because you're scum. I don't know *why* B- would have not recruited someone, but it's the only explanation that makes sense.

Also I can't wait to find out if I was right about sandwolf. Maybe a stretch but I think he made those two posts about you because he jailed you and wasn't sure if you were the killer or the target. He doesn't normally make throwaway comments like that with no follow up

So there is a bit more content than I originally thought. Sandwolf actually is suspicious of amni end of D1

This is right at the start of D2, after Amni makes a sorta meh post voting merk

Sandwolf posted:

hmm, I think it might actually be Amni here..

Then right after the AA thing happened and he never really got back to it other than a couple brief mentions

Sandwolf posted:

Amnistar also being a little unlike himself here. Usually he's posting a lot and trying to figure out the game.

Sandwolf posted:

this just isn't... this doesn't even feel like Amni talking, I don't think I've ever seen you make a statement like that as town

before voting him.

Sandwolf posted:

Uhh ##vote amnistar

None of this is quite sounding like Amni, who’s usually committed to finding scum, will reread independently, way way more careful than putting D1 lunch in a list of suspects.

Sandwolf usually makes more complex cases with quotes and things when he is outright scumhunting. I think he was being a little lazy because he knew he had this result as well.

I could be wrong, this isn't a smoking gun, it's just something I noticed looking back at what happened to the N1 kill

That's true, although we didn't know that and maybe he wanted to see how it played out.

But if he didn't stop the kill with a jail then scum couldn't kill and plant bombs the same night apparently so then Amnistar's theory that I trapped both AA and b- separately can't be true. If that isn't true then there is no explanation why b- and AA would visit the same person the night they died if b- was doing the kill.

Amni is in a corner here and trying to find a way it could be possible for me to have killed grandicap instead of him but there really isn't one.

Yeah I keep going back and forth on the bomb thing.

I'm back to the theory that AA and b- targeted the same person last night and ran into a trap. It would make sense; with only one scum left AA's track would validate that whoever entered the masonry was town.

Right which is why I think you have some sort of self-trapping ability, it's the only thing that makes sense.

If there was one bomb, it can't be me.

If there were multiple bombs, then we have to figure out where N1 kill went because scum could kill and plant bombs the same night. That has to be Sandwolf. The only person sandwolf mentions besides dy/aa is you, and he calls you on in his first post of the day.

We know that the scum have gotten "more powerful," which means their powers have changed. The lack of a kill N1 could very well be tied to that. It doesn't have to be Sandwolf.
