also cloner voted dgk when hawke was -1. you're arguing in (hey kids im about to say this weeks secret phrase, cheer when you hear it!) bad faith (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What if DGK and hawke were both scum with Cloner though?

I honestly don’t recall if anyone else was up for the vote when that happened though. I can see DGK who expended his powers being less useful than Hawke and scum sacrificing him

But if Hawke and Cloner are both scum then they'd know what, if anything, the guns do, and can easily come up with the gunsmith claim

Honestly at this point I think it's more likely you're town. I went back through your interactions with Scientastic expecting to make a case but walked away feeling like you're both town and that Scientastic has a decent case against Dead Cow and between DC and Cheese I think DC is the better lunch and the more likely to be scum. ##vote Dead Cow

The investigative roles are all fakeable for scum, playing bingo at this stage I’d vote Cloner > cheese > Hal but I want to look over some things first.

binus, Cena and RF could be scum but they have confirmed actions which aren’t the mystery roleblock and/or poisoning I’m looking for. GG could be a scum role (or the masonry could be fake) but at least on the face of the claim it wasn’t them on N1.

Sandwolf I’m unsure about atm.

Paranoid/insane cop sounds like a decent fake claim for a roleblocker as it provides a reason to be out visiting people.

So does “detective,” when I think about it.

Arsonist is, from my understanding, essentially the same as a poisoner of which we've already had one poisoning.
Cult leader? OP says no alignment changes
Red herring - possibly, but I couldn't say because Steak couldn't kill and I've been blocked the other times I've attempted to use my action. Why would scum block me if my role was a red herring?

Sandwolf posted:

Hal, the two last reads in that Cloner post feel very “poo poo I need more reads.” Because binus “deliberately disingenuous”? (As opposed to what?) Hal... “feels odd.,” and that’s enough to put you on level with binus?
I get it, you're pissed because I've mentioned the question thing three times now. The questions I asked you are probably no longer that relevant given the amount of time that has passed but the part that sticks out is that you deliberately ignored them and when you actually make a response it's this garbage.

Anyway, b-minus didn't even react when I called him out on being disingenuous here and here. He's seen those posts, they were back to back and he was the next person to post in thread. His case is flimsy at best.

Hal does have an odd presence about him this game, feels different to the few other games I've played with him. And his claim to see if people "have killed" just pinged me when he expected to have a result on N1 before anyone was dead.

He spends more time complaining about sandwolf not engaging with him in the thread than he does responding to anything regarding DGK. This reads like a newbie scum tendency to ignore his scum buddies. ##vote cloner

I can kinda see a case for sandwolf based on so much of their posts (especially early) being asking other people’s opinions instead of giving their own reads, questions/reactions to setup info like they’ve never played before and going after amni/DC but the astonished newbie kind of reactions don’t come off as forced to me

Tell me what’s odd about it.

The DC vote was to avoid NL, your second point discounts the possibility that that day could’ve been between two scum and ignores that the case on you was a decent one.

Gumball either misunderstood or misstated. No offense meant but I don’t recall playing with you at all before this game, I don’t have any scum meta for you. I just thought you were acting scummy and pushing a bad case on me at the time and said such.

I do not understand why cheese and rf aren't voting each other. But ok, chalk it up to night action fuckery.
RF sat at -3 for almost 24 hours and now doesn't have any votes. I don't know what that means.

It would not shock me if hawke is scum, but I don't have a case based in content, only in night action discrepancies between his results and RF/cheese.
I think I will be comfortable voting cloner but need to think about it some more.

Genuine question: Has there ever been a time where someone is given a role (in my case, gunsmith) which doesn't actually do 'what it says on the tin' and does something entirely different?
Like, I'm bewildered as to why there was no kill N1, but Steak died N2 after being poisoned N1. I've been roleblocked ever since and conveniently there have been no more poisonings.

I might be writing a death warrant for myself here but I maintain that I am a gunsmith (or at least I believe I'm a gunsmith)

Cloner that exact thing has happened before and got me screwed as scum.

Here’s the story: so in a Harry Potter mafia there was a protection spell people were given, I was given it as scum and mostly sat on it as a fakeclaim. I eventually taught someone the spell all trying to use it to gain credibility.

If I had ever actually used the spell I would have seen it was actually a watch ability, NOT a protective ability. I got lunched.

So although my result seems to reflect what I expected, it does make me wonder if it has a secondary ability I don't realise?
I gunsmithed Steak and was told he couldn't kill anyone, but Hawke says he gave him a gun. A useless gun, apparently, so I wonder if I got a negative result because my investigation happened before a gun was given, or if it's because the gun is useless, or perhaps I can't actually gunsmith anyone at all and just poison them instead.

Honestly, I don't know what to expect anymore and if anyone thinks this is the situation then I totally understand wanting to cuddle me.

I could be convinced of cloner but those last few posts are very town. I'm feeling more scum energy from JC and the insistence that RF has to be lying. If it is a lie it's bad to the point of absurd and it just feels like a sloppy shop.
