Okay can you walk me through that? And for sake of argument, let’s say they’re both JOATs. Why is Spoonsy the scum JOAT?

I know you think Hal is not a JOAT, I get that, but it’s hard for me to account for the N1 shift in his behavior otherwise, so I’m tryna see if that piece can fit in and him still be scum.

Hal has operated on the fringes all game and come up with an incredibly convenient claim upon the very first instance of pressure. That’s scum.txt

If both players are indeed joats, and you want me to say that Hal *isn’t* scum but spoonsy is, I suppose it would be for the reasons I already distrust spoonsy. But I don’t think they’re both joats and indeed might both be scum!

I’ve had a pet theory that spoonsy is a survivor but that’s just gut



That’s the spirit, now participate with content

I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask “if X was scum why would they drop heat on one player and go elsewhere.” It assumes that scum play perfectly and consistently

Do you think I'm scum? I don't have the impression that you actually do. If you don't, how do you justify that as town cop antagonizing me so that I will believe none of your announced night actions and possibly tunnel is pro-town play?

I’ve given this idea a significant amount of thought, and I would like to make a rather odd proposal. I am proposing voting me out today (day 1). I am town, but I think that it would be a gain for the town overall if I was voted out. My role being removed from the game, specifically on day 1 and specifically how I am inclined to play the role if I were to live, would enable the roles of a few other people who are most likely to be town. Essentially, without giving too much away about my role and other people’s roles, I see my role (and how I would play it) as getting in the way of and hindering other town roles. The circumstances of my role could and will likely change as the game goes on, but as it currently stands, I think that it would be a net-positive for the town to vote me out.
I still don't understand this play if Tokes was Vanilla Town and had no extra standing in the NK Masonry above the other people in the NK Masonry. I end up feeling there is something about the Masonry that still is unknown or unannounced. I don't believe that DGK is still the person submitting names, and so I'm wondering what Solus knows and isn't telling. Very worried Solus could be scum and invited scum to the NK Masonry. But I have mostly had a town read on Solus, and the one time I didn't and pressed, Solus' reaction seemed authentic to me. Something about publicly asking the person invited to the masonry not to reveal that does give a feeling they don't also share another masonry like scum chat, though, I guess. Still worried the NK Masonry will kill more town and we could end up not knowing who else is pulling the trigger.

@Taste, sorry for confusion, I meant to say if Hal is the scum JOAT. Your answer was still pretty suitable though.

Regarding Hal’s N1 switch: I agree we shouldn’t assume scum play perfectly, but there would have been no reason for Hal to flip like that. He deliberately did not point to anything I did as reasoning for being Town. Now Hal could still be a scum JOAT, he could have even targeted me N1, but for him to drop pressure so suddenly and completely, feels like a town movie I think.

Taste, the DBD connection to JW is d1 content, not role. yuming lays out the case if I remember correctly. I also lay one out.

We have one flipped scum and the best scummy connection to her is DBD. That’s where my vote is staying.

If that’s so I missed it and I’ll take a look.

I’d still argue that a bad claim from someone implicated in a cop result is a better vote today

oh, right, completely forgot about that, I've been kind of out of it, haven't really gotten sleep in the last two days, keep getting interrupted by literal bats, fuckin' house is 110 years old

the questions were for DGK and "why do you keep submitting the cop" but for some reason people believe him

ANYWAY

ironically I invited in beet, because I've had a town read on him, that now I'm leery of because of the eccocop (though I still think it's Hal, personally)

That said,

even if beet IS scum, there's not much he can do about it- inviting new members needs to be unanimous approval, and I won't entertain suggestions of inviting in new members at the moment
kills require a majority, but since there's only two members, that again also essentially requires unanimous approval from the masonry, and I'm not killing the people I have town reads on
if I get NK'd and a scum beet is left in sole control of the masonry, he can't do a NK without inducting someone else, and that takes an entire night's action, so he can't use it to kill people as scum without at least a two day delay

now let me reiterate that all of this is IF beet is scum, which I don't think he is.

I don’t know. People can have regular day actions, like “submit before end of day”

Anyway one of my bag of tricks is I get to be an Ecco Cop. I get “not night witch” as a result of one or more of the three names I submit isn’t night witch aligned. I got Not Night Witch for merk, Hal, and beet.

If Hal is scum is he trying to implicate DBD as lying about his night action? Or somehow clear him by saying he went nowhere and providing an opportunity for DBD's tracker stuff to be more plausible?

If Hal is scum he’s trying to stay alive any way he can. Outside of self clearing the next step is trying to paint an alternative, which unsurprisingly is one of the controversial players

No, unfortunately- the only sigil I've seen so far is the same you've seen on the flips. I suspect one of them might have been for pera as a 3p from the magistocratic council? Could've been what was flavored on her magic tv screen that burns the spy in a hilariously terrible design.
