Has anyone received a bulletproof vest

Because it’s apparently my job this game to ask these questions, is this a good thing to claim? If a person did, that is one less NK target... admittedly if we make it that far.

if the reason is to determine whether theres an armorer in the game, dont we already know that?

if the reason is to check whether the armorer is scum, thats a good question. but how can we be certain nobody got one?

because i think its a very good idea to NOT disclose whether you've gotten a vest. so it's either out yourself as having a vest to eliminate the "scum armorer" line of thinking, and simultaneously make scum's nk choice less risky... or keep quiet and risk the "scum armorer" argument to take hold

I do still think it’s a bad idea, but my biggest issue was the way it was being pushed and rushed.

merk seemingly trying to get people to do it without thinking is indeed weird. It makes it seem like if we DID think it through, we would uncover some kind of trick to it that would cause us harm.

We are thinking it through now. What is that trick? What is the thing that would ruin us?

SNG suggested that it could be to eliminate an extra townie in the case where there is only 3 scum, but it seems unlikely that there would be only 3 scum in a 17 player game, especially (imo) one with this many vigs.

So what, then, is the big plan? That is my question.

I also have other things to say but it'll take me a bit lol

3scum and a SK or 3p would also meet your requirements and are probably a thing tbh. It would explain why town is having issues coming together or the weird voting patterns if there was a third faction

Third parties are also, of course, explicitly on the table as per the rules.

Although Hum was a third party, so we have had at least one :v:

Not true, but close. I still do not understand why you are so invested in figuring out roles right now.

I'm still thinking about the gavel. Using the gavel today does seem like a smart move that would let us execute someone without a night kill. But I'm no longer considering the possibility that Steak or merk are town. The fact that this was initiated by merk makes me fundamentally not trust it.

I'm probably not gonna gavel.

##vote merk

I would rather vote merk right now, who I know is scum, than gavel sng. I don't trust merk and I'm not willing to indulge him in whatever gambit he's trying to pull. There's just no way he's town after what went down today.

Also lol at Steak's distancing vote, I can't wait to test it out.

merk hasn't gotten rush killed. That either means

A. merk is scum

or

B. The scum team is heavily comprised of SNG, .random, Mr. Steak, and dy.

Am I correct on that?

I guess that assumes 4 scum but I'm pretty solid on that assumption.

Like if any combination of Sandwolf, me, illmucche, Hal, and AT-LOW were scum this game would be over.

I know I'm town, so that means that it is not possible that 2 out of those four are scum.

So if that's the case, that means there are (at least) three scum in SNG, Random, Mr. Steak, dy and merk.

Right? What am I missing here?

I don't think the scum can insta-hammer in an overtly scummy way, right? There could still be something to stop their nightkill.

mega dy
Dec 6, 2003

We're at 10/6 right now. If scum turbohammer in an obvious way we go into the night at 9/5, still not enough for 4 scum to win. A blocked nightkill (still multiple potential roles that could do that) would end the scum team at that point.

Also a very good reason to end this rolefishing nonsense immediately and keep the scum guessing as to the existence or location of roles that could gently caress their nightkill up.

At the risk of scaring people off the vote, I think I am ok with a Steak vote too. I will do a reread of yesterday; it was hard not to see that as a coordinated thing from them both in the moment.

I don't particularly care what order it happens in as long as it's one of them today.

I think a merk vote might be a little more useful in terms of information, since we can judge his choice to gavel SNG based on his flip.

Fair point, between armorer and maybe dramatic bodyguard you're right to say it's possible scum are nervous about turboing and basically losing a flawless victory on a rush vote.

I'm also good with merk or Mr. Steak today.

This isn't how you're supposed to play the game, and I know that, but there's a very big part of me that doesn't want Steak to see the end of this game because if he's scum and has been pullin this poo poo all game long and wins with it I will never forgive myself.

It's pretty telling that they haven't shared. You would think that if you were willing to bet the entire game on one vote, you would like, have a recent case on them.

As far as I can tell AT-LOW's entire reasoning for random is that there wasn't a scumrush on merk (which lol, that is pretty explainable). Mechanically, I don't see how the scum are in a position where they can execute a scumrush right now. Also merk is scum.

scum probably just nabbed all the good roles evidenced by literally no one relaying any night actions of merit so we should lunch merk, steak, .random, in that order
