You earlier said that you read DB as scum so a bit confused that you are now stepping away from him now that he is -1?

I don’t see any problem with a DB PMush scum team, given that PMush was obviously vanilla scum it’s conceivable that the decision was made to push her over DB like steak suggested

I'm not stepping away from anything? I was pretty clear when I did my incredibly rushed post before my calls started that I had a problem with my initial read.

Well, I feel a bit dumb now, I wrote the below and only then thought to check if the votes matched my memory of how it went down...

My feeling is not that it was a PMush DB choice and the scum team made a choice, it's that a lot of scummy players posted that they didn't like the PMush execution and they preferred a DB lunch. I am much more confident in my scum reads of those players because of their scummy posting and there are more than enough of them that I think it's a concerted effort to push away from their buddy.

I get DB's posting is scummy, I just can't get my head around a scumteam not proposing another candidate if DB and PMush were scum together.

OK, I just checked the VF post for the end of the day, I guess DB and PMush were really the only credible candidates, maybe I'm overthinking this.

That doesn’t give much information at all.

You need to be more specific, the odds of you surviving a night kill are up in the air, but your lunch sure looks drat likely to happen, and that’s a certain death.

The value of a power role in and of itself isn’t there this game really, since every town has had two opportunities to draw something other than vanilla.

I just received the candy last night as a result of trick or treating, so I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I got a vanilla candy that did nothing the night before.

I checked the OP because I thought I read at one point that powers are replaced if a player chooses to trick or treat again (no verbage on perma-powers specifically) I assume the perma-power if replaced as well. I don't plan on trick or treating again for as long as I survive. Here's the mods post that I was directed to:

a few of you had this question so here is the answer: if you currently possess a role and choose to go trick or treating, you lose the current role. they don't stack.

Yeah, I thought about that, but look at Hum's flip:

You have received some TWIX TRACKER! You can ##TRACK a player at night to see who they visit that evening. This is a single use ability.

There's no mention of fun-size or anything there, and that's a one-shot too, so I don't think we can draw a conclusion about fun-size meaning anything.

"fun size crunch cop bar" certainly gives me pause before flatly disbelieving db's claim, tho i have a hard time in setup-spec land believing a default twix "tracker" bar would just be single-use but the much more powerful cop bar would come with an even more buffed variety

I think the fun size is just flavour. I got a 2 shot power N1 and it's just listed a normal candy.
I think the claimed ability coupled with the N1 "vanilla candy" is way too convenient. Unless someone else got a vanilla candy on either night I don't buy it at all

No, I have no problem believing that there are perma-roles, I got a spectacularly lovely one last night which I will be changing tonight. I'm not saying that, I just don't think that we can draw a conclusion about a one-shot cop being fun-size and therefore lending weight to a perma-cop.

I have doubts that a mod would have a one-shot cop role that could go out to potentially multiple players (I'm guessing if everything is RNGed, we can have the same role going out to more than one player) AND a perma-cop role.

I purposefully didn't want to allude to candy at all for fear that scum would target me so I didn't mention I was vanilla because I thought scum would think I was bluffing and do bad things to me at night or day, such as killing me or lunching me.

it's crazy how the mod/rng/fate works but I am now a townie, suspected of being scum, claiming cop. I don't care so much how it looks now, but if/when I flip, that'll put things a little closer into perspective for town to carry on and win.
