I'm gonna be honest, I think people have different abilities based on different jutsus and I block various jutsus

So I don't believe they would have been able to go anywhere because they would have tried to use a jutsu and I would have stopped that ability. That is my understanding at least

Additionally, sandwolf has rolled sng levels of scum in my recent games and I like to interact with him, which leads to me implicitly trusting he's town with no proof. I wanted proof this game before deciding he was my town bro

If you have no vote preference at the time, why suddenly swerve the vote onto me with no real explanation?

I was interested in seeing if there were enough votes left to muster on you. The votes seemed there for db, so if I voted you would people switch? And if so with what justifications?

I believed the information gained from voting you would be better since either flip was a coin toss. My wording is ambiguous, but it shouldn't be read as "let's do this," but rather "let's do this"

The point was, that if you truly have no vote preference, is what is the point of trying to swerve away from the vote leader? At worst, a switch that late can even cause a no lunch which only benefits scum.

Because the votes were there. No one comes in and votes, I can switch to db. It gives information that no one wanted to switch to you. Db being saved also gives information, mostly depending on your flip

I told you what I didn't like, and it was an argument you shrugged and went "meh" about. I didn't find it particularly scummy, but I did doubt the sincerity of it. Much like db's vote on you, though, it doesn't mean much when you're simply trying to survive another day. Bad arguments abound by both town and scum when you're on the block

I find it more interesting that people are ignoring and pushing against my result when there's no kill. There's no reason for me to claim at this point except to benefit town, especially seeing as Sal could've shut me down pretty easily if I was lying

I'm pretty confident that Squiggly is town based on his claim.
It doesn't make sense from a scum claim point.
It is way too early to pull the trigger on something like this to get a misexecute that would very likely end in his death the next day if he is wrong.
I think he is putting too much weight behind it because no kill on a night you stop a target from using jutsus is an indicator, but nowhere as good as tracking/watching someone to the kill or getting a cop result to them.
There are still plenty of options on where the kill went.
That being said, with Squiggly's information, it makes sense that he'd jump on it in the absence of any flips thus far.

So, I'm trying to find a scum justification here.
I think I am going to assume that Squiggly is telling the truth about his role, because to do otherwise, on D2, is fraught with terrible repercussions for him. Getting caught in an avoidable lie would be silly.
But he could be a scum blocker. So let's look at the scum motivations to claim d1.
1) Cred. He could get cred if he is a Sandwolf scum buddy, claims to have prevented the kill, and ride it to endgame.
- This falls apart later game if he is still alive as a pseudo-confirmed town. And he has given up a scumbro way early to do it. I judge this unlikely
2) He is a blocker, he did block Sandwolf, but he knows the kill failed for other reasons. He pushes this narrative because he thinks it's what a town blocker would do.
- This is much more likely than the prior option IMO, but still falls apart. He outs himself as a generally negative role, he gets a whole lotta blowback if Sandwolf flips town. It is day 2 which is basically D1 because no kills D1 or N1. It seems to dangerous for a gambit. The chances of it blowing up in his face are too large. If it were later in the game, I would put more credence behind it, but not now.

I 'm still pretty sure Gulag is scum, but there is a weak night action pointing at Sandwolf, and that is stronger than anything else we have on D1 take 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Good morning. I’ve read Squiggly’s poo poo on me and I’m kind of confused by it? I believe he’s claiming some kind of roleblock but.. My action last night was successful?

So I’m trying to suss out if Squiggly got night action bingo’d or is scum trying to push through a case.

Now that is interesting, especially with Steak claiming to be roleblocked.

Don't tell me what your actual action is, but is your action something that can be proven or not? (for example a track)

Again, don't say what the actual action is.
