Merk and IA have both posted about it, the voyeur role is basically a role cop that learns 'this role exists and acted this way'.

It's a way to confirm people's claimed actions. IA says he caught a Roleblocker blocking me n1. That's the blocker I'm referring to. Making up a scum role blocker, blocking me n1 is a huge gambit. So IA probably actually found a scum role blocker. Looking at the votes, this means plastic/somber are probably scums.

Somber is just following what the winds of the moment are saying, they don't believe any of this crap, they even shirk the responsibility of a vote on my by saying they'll follow merk and Toal. Not a single real opinion in here except for the setup spec.

That's fair to an extent. I was super wrong yesterday and I don't feel like I have a strong lead today so it just makes sense to play follow the leader at this point. I definitely will take ownership of saying you're scum though, and I have real opinions and engagement. Feels like you should have some opinion on my D2 behavior if you think I'm scum though.

It's not really that improbable toal. This is a 'mostly vanilla' game so it's fair to just take a chance. Maybe there is a scum roleblocker and they did target you. Idk just flip IA and let's find out.

Scum could have decided to target Toal with both a Roleblocker and the Voyeur. I don't see why that is so hard to believe at all.

The only thing giving me super pause on that working setup theory is that it is very mafia general-like of a setup which is markedly different from Pathogen 1 that had roles like this (from https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3970349&userid=149898):

quote:

Virus, Pathogen-aligned

You are a piece of rogue DNA incased in a protein capsid. You multiply by penetrating host cells and hijacking cellular machinery for your own reproduction. Once per night you may use one of the following abilities:

Infect- Choose one player to infect with virions, infected players will begin expressing pathogen antigens and will always investigate as Pathogen-aligned. In addition infected players will be affected by any future viral mutations.


Mutation- Add a second random ability to your virions, each time you mutate the range of possible powers will increase and more deadly abilities will be available. This ability will be immediately applied to previously infected players. Only the latest ability will be active, abilities do not stack.

You win when Pathogens completely control the vote.

quote:

Protist, Pathogen-aligned

You are an intracellular parasite, you have a complex life cycle that involves invading and feeding on many types of body tissues. You have the following ability:

Penetrate- If you perform the factional night kill you will instead invade the target player. While in this state any actions, including the lunch, directed at you will instead hit your host. Your host however may still target you and will begin to present pathogen antigens (they will investigate as Pathogen-aligned). Once successfully inside a host you will begin multiplying, and each successive night will attempt to rupture and kill them, the odds of successfully doing this begin at only 25% but will increase by a further 25% each consecutive night. Rupturing a host will give you one Protist Charge, allowing you to then infect an additional player on your next Penetrate. Charges stack with each kill making you incredibly powerful over time. If one of your hosts dies you will lose one Protist Charge, if you do not have a charge to lose then you will instead die. If at any point you are not infecting the maximum number of hosts, actions targeted at you will still hit you in addition to any hosts you may have.

You win when Pathogens completely control the vote.

Mae is suddenly counter claiming me as a watcher after days of prodding for a counter claim, a bit suss, but at this point I'm good with going to sort it all out. I won't be self-voting though.

On the off-chance Mae is actually a watcher and not bullshitting us, then I'd say the scum is likely RF, Somber. However, I think I'm going to vote against a very delayed and unbelievable counter.

I was saying it would make it more likely that you and Plastic were the two remaining scum if Mae was actually a watcher, but I don't think that's the case here. Not saying a watcher and a voyeur are mutually exclusive, but it would be redundant to have both, and I know what I am.

It's not. Voodoofly voted Solus to try to help IA on day 1. We only did not eliminate IA because of that IA claim and Solus push. On day 2, we only did not eliminate IA because of IA's claim. Voodoo self voted after not being able to push me or you.

I don't think wanting town to out a power role after losing the doc is pro town behavior, if you think IA is scum despite his claim then vote him right? If there is a town watcher that had a conflicting result from IA I would expect it would come up eventually.

I didn't have any conflicting results, the only reason why I claimed is merk's post earlier that he thought the watcher should claim but I thought about it for a bit.

Toalpaz posted:

It doesn't make any sense for IAs role to exist the way it does in this set up. But it's frustrating me that no one is able to claim tracker or watcher and makes it difficult for me to vote him.

Somber said he was vanilla and Plastic dropped it? I've taken Toal Gambit 101, I thought Plastic tried to take a page out of your book. Also my watching Plastic wouldn't have helped in that scenario.
