WIFOM but that's what scum might've been relying on to avoid town watchers/docs perhaps. Scum didn't count on a BP probably.

Interesting because you as a redirect target would make sense (can imagine plenty of people targeting you after d1) but scum would know who they redirected to and there's no reason to kill you

You're still making the false and debunked claim that yami is lynch proof which is very clearly not the case

I'm not gonna lynch the bullet proof claim with no kills last night. Unless there's a 3rd party killer that role is pretty townie

why is making a more convoluted argument (hinged on a possible redirect) better than my simple argument that involves things I have evidence for. All I ask is for trust in my reasoning/case. If I am wrong, then I don't expect to survive the following day (if I even survive the night preceding it).

I have a townish read on Grandicap based on tone and style of posting, but that flavor based validation of Yami having a loved PR was disturbing to me a bit. Anyone using flavor to make arguments this game is slightly suss to me full stop. Even though I am not well versed in Naruto, i did do a little research on my own character for a bit of context and yeah... the flavor connections are too vague imo.

You do realize it's a good idea to call out fishy behavior even if it's not confirmed by a flip yet?

That's, in fact, called playing mafia. You almost never have perfect info and have to start somewhere.

think about this for a second:

character A (well known for loving/being in love with character B in Naruto anime flavor) is "loved" (mafia context: takes an extra vote to lunch)
character A (well known for loving/being in love with character B in Naruto anuime flavor) is "lovers" with character B in game (mafia context: one dies, the other dies)

how does anyone even know how the mod would choose to integrate that concept from anime to mafia game

it's dumb, anime is dumb and so are you if your arguing about flavor

Flavor doesn't come into this.
I was giving Amni poo poo about making Sasuke loved because that is objectively a terrible thing, because Sasuke is an objectively terrible character.
My reasoning on him being loved was him not dying when he got to votes to be executed and wasn't.

You're assuming too much about the flavor behind Loved.

It has, in fact, nothing to do with being loved by anyone this game, it's simply the common name for the role.

Also I'm a bit fan of you saying arguing about flavor is dumb when you are, in the same post, arguing about flavor.

I was willing to admit as much in regards to my sandwolf read, but he keeps laying it on thick without a vote so I'm a bit more confident even with db stating he was surely targeted

So here's a question since you seem to be responding: do you still think db is scum?

My opinion is based on the very same fact (that Yami survived a lunch) and also my own role PM and how I figured it fits into the game balance wise which points me away from loved and to lunch-proof liar scum lying about their role flavor.

Yes, clearly Loved doesn't apply to the person who didn't die when at 7 out of 7 votes to lunch.

The standard application of execution proof would be that the day ended and the target just wasn't executed.
This could have been a non-standard application, but all signs point to loved. It's standard application would allow the day to continue to see if he gets another vote.

You do realize, that if I was lunchproof, it would have triggered something because it was 5 minutes before deadline, and amni even stated that there was no hammer, not that the hammer failed to kill me?

Why are we even having this idiotic discussion?

You are somehow presenting your dumb setup spec as a foolproof case.
