Yeah but SNG if you’ve already demonstrated to not be much of a protective role, so you’re almost more like just a RBer, no?

This is as bad a rationale as grids vote D1. “Welp, sorry if you’re town, but it’s better to remove you anyway!”

Not trusting me is a fair reason to vote, but don’t paint it with a “but thou must” light.

Which can be very useful to block someone we think is scum yes.

Or possibly tie up the role blocker so our investigators can do their actions in peace.

Peace through overwhelming determination
Idk you could be scum though, which is part of my vote. When I say I dont trust you it means I can't trust you to be a town power role. You could have just done the nk on hum.

There’s a lot I can be useful for, and goals out of hand dismissal seems suspicious given how methodical they usually are.

That’s a possibility but NKing Hum and then claiming him just ignites a mess that didn’t need to be lit. Do you really think that if I was in scum chat they’d let me get away with something like this? Scumchat brow beated me all the time in past games. It’s a bad play. Even I’m not that stupid

Yeah but you were also almost lunched D1, I can’t see scumteam going hard to try to keep you alive, no offense. I can even see them sending you to do the kill knowing full well you’d be tracked. Hence this Hum “oh no maybe juggernaut gently caress” thing.

No I mean, if we have a heavy suspicion someone is scum, and yet they don’t win the vote? I jail them. I’d trust that as a whole we can diss out likely scum then block em. Then we have a much better chance of blocking their RB or bus driver, or whatever the heck they have. A goon has already died and it’s more likely we can hit a scum PR if there are any. And even if that fails, and I block a goon? a PR might have to waste their night action to NK

Again, if I did the kill, there’s no way on earth I’d claim Hum as my jail target. I’d just say E+ Or someone and have done with it.

And even if they try to NK me, maybe if we have a doc they’ll take pity on me. Or at least I’ll absorb a NK so we only lose one townie between D2 and N2

I don’t think that works quite the way you think it does.. just, it’d require you to RB the same person who was definitely scum over and over again, long enough for their team to pick up the pattern and have to work around it

OR

it’d require you to announce it in thread, wherein they can just immediately change their entire plan for the night

Or I announce in thread, they scaramble, and I block randomly. Either way it keeps them on the back foot.

No but you couldn’t. If you said you jailed E+ he would have simply confirmed or denied if he was jailed and that’s that?

And again, no offense, but if you are Town the scum isn’t gonna NK you.

I mean, jailer is usually a town role right? Isn’t a jailer scum OP as hell? And if they don’t kill me then all the stuff I said about being a roleblocker still applies. Then I’m a town they won’t kill. That sounds like a drat good thing to me, and for town as a whole.

Yes, except to your whole post.

Your whole post is basically (1) I called out Amni but didn’t vote him, (2) I defended you early on, which is...suspicious to you? and (3) I agreed with other people that the scenario you’ve come up with is wildly implausible. Your only real response is that sometimes wildly implausible events happen. True, but I’ll take those odds.

Jailer could equally be a scum role or a town role. When I first started playing it was exclusively a scum role.

Not really, if we get a close hard tie, or a three way split I can just help us narrow the options the next day is all. It’s softer but similar to how vigging a vote runner up is a solid strategy, but less death.

Except, by your own admission, you're useless as a jailor against the scum team, beecause they have some way to work around you. So you can't do anything to stop the kill, so keeping you around just because you're jailor isn't anything beneficial.

It is suspicious, since 1) you’re so sure I deserved it, but you defended me to the last second, and 2) your defense was the most backhanded I’ve seen in a long time. “Well guys I know he’s acting scummy, and was just scum, and everyone thinks he’s scum... but cmonnnn” if that’s a defense then no thank you let me drown.

I already said it was both. Enough of a defense that when I flip town you could say “oh nooooo I told you so!” And enough of an attack to push people on the fence to vote me anyway and make the former scenario happen.

Let me be very clear now that after you claimed (after that post), I stopped thinking that you may be town and decided that you are scum. There’s no hidden gambit to that post.
