Some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help

Whatever no use in being coy. I assume there is some sort of mechanic in this game where someone can control someone’s else’s actions, or votes, or whatever. It probably doesn’t matter if rhymes ever explains the discrepancy. With his potential soft claim of a cop on CCK night one he would be a great target for scum to mess with. He would be a great target to watch regardless of whether you were scum or town. Or track or whatever.

Rhymes if you did get a town result on CCK no point in being shy about it. Otherwise I’m just going to think about other things. I’ll vote after kid drop off as I have a nice ferry ride to reread and think.

Anyway we can have a spell where everybody dances around and votes me and then unvotes me when I claim a power role, so I recommend we cut to the chase here and just agree that I am not scum.

Because there’s a contradiction between Cena/clue -> Grandicap callin for Cena’s blood in a weird way. This is not a wild idea, Keane, and it’s better than your plan of: don’t do anything, even accidentally

the thing is that the JC case calls for him being weirdly puppetmastery and operating on several levels of wifom like JC hammering scum and participating in lunches and casing people but still being scum,

i'm sorry i didn't know you were probed keane but lets be real, you've had at least a week to try and play the game and you haven't been trying very hard until the pressure's turned on a bit as we've been reduced to 8 players.

scum are more likely to remove themselves from engaging like keane, and not appear on the math or make hard decisions because its easy to case people under the spotlight.

That's unfair. It wasn't really a joke vote. As far as day one goes it had a good reason. Do you want me to pick it up and show you? Or accuse you of mischaracterizing me.

This is a real vote. I only want my townies composed of enthusiastic killers.

Not that I'm trying to ride on the credit of the game, I just really want you folks to use some critical thinking without getting caught up on who is asking you to think about the game. Which seems to be impossible. I think you are all caught up in the aesthetics of banter as if you'll find a true hidden motive when someone puts forth some arguements, when catching scum isn't that hard.

There should only be two scum left, that kind of fake claim if unchallenged is one that will ride out to end game.

That's also ignoring the fact scum would ping me to unvote their team-mate.

But okay, voodoofly. All I can do is lead you to water. I was always blessed with an analytical mind, with no way to convincingly argue my points. Good contribution! I hope you succeed in your goals.

Wait, how did you get from there to here, then end with a Clue vote, when CENA is voting me not Clue?

Even if CENA is being 100% truthful here, a self target tends hard towards clue being town. Even if Clue is lying about not targeting himself.
So I go back to CENA.
If CENA is being truthful, what does a town CENA gain here? He outs a powerrole, and maybe he didn't think ahead to what power roles can self target, but what does that info get town? Nothing. There is no pro-town benefit.
If CENA is being truthful, what does a scum CENA gain here? It is only a little gained here as a scum CENA, but proving a role has been something that has held off executions, even if the role is not indicative of alignment. A claimed watcher is less likely to be executed than an unclaimed player. Just "putting the info out there" also feels like a thing scum could try and do for cred. And by making the info public there is less suspicion when an outed powerrole dies tonight.
If they are both being truthful, it is irrelevant. Again, look at motivations here. An action being redirected or changed doesn't change the motivations for CENA to out someone who self targeted.
If CENA is lying... why? This one boggles my mind the most. There is no town or scum motivation I can think of for CENA to lie here.
If Clue is lying, I get it. As a role that self targets, there is little to gain from claiming it here. A self targeting role is non-investigative. Why investigate yourself? It is likely protective, and claiming a protective role is rather silly. Although I guess now cat's out of the bag.

Like, we have a scum dead, I would straight up trade our doctor for another dead scum, don’t act like it’s a bad trade at this point. But Rhymes W Clue disappearing when theoretically he could go: “I’m doctor, that’s not true.” OR “I’m doctor, that’s true.” super loving easily

I think that CENA being scum for saying that Clue self targeted is dumb. I think he is scum for other reasons.
Scum CENA has very little reason to lie about this target, because if this wasn't upside down and backwards world, voting someone for self targeting isn't a thing. Even if they lie about it afterwards.

Making a lurker case on clue, perfectly reasonable. Making a case on clue for not being on the OA execution, less reasonable, because of the timing, the whole thing developed in like 40 minutes. But I would still entertain it. Voting someone for targeting themselves with an action. Even if we take it as the word of god truth, doesn't make any sense in the slightest.
