...Ok. CPig, I'm still not sure if I can trust you and you didn't do this last time I asked but... Would you mind daycopping Circl so we can sort this out?

Okay I did this. What he says is how the role works, think of the bodyguard more like a 1 shot bp that you have to activate in order to use instead of being passive, the bodyguard dying is more like a flavor thing it seems. circl would have known if he was the kill target, and honestly after yesterday I don't see why scum wouldn't try to kill circl.

Also fyi, I used my ability yesterday before I saw your request so don't try to make it seem like I purposely ignored you, thanks.


I still think we need to see meen's flip, I've inteded to use my power on him twice in a row but there's always something that needs confirming coming up.

I can't see two similar shop roles and having both be town.

...Really now. I've rolecopped CirclMastr myself. I've seen Circl's role PM. And it made no mention of any of this. It just says you send an adventurer to do one of four things: Track, Watch, Voyeur or Bodyguard, it doesn't count as a visit, you can't go to the same person twice in a row, and if your action fails somehow that power is lost permanently. In other words, what Circl already claimed in the thread. Where the hell did you get all this info from, when it's not in the role PM? I've also noticed you helpfully left out CirclMastr's alignment in this post.

I would have assumed you would reach the same conclusion based on how these roles work.

Bodyguard equals dead, meaning the adventurer circl sends to do the bodyguard dies when it is used

Like I've been modding games for the past 10 years here, I'm thiinking about this like a mod,

Essentially circls role boils down to a joat but with his charges of track watch and voyeur being dependent on whether they fail or not, being used if they do.

The role doesn't state the bodyguard is used when it sucessfully pops a kill but from a mod perspective it makes sense that if it's a bodyguard the "adventurer" that circl sends would die as that is how the bodyguard role works.

Which would explain also how circl knew he was the one that was the kill target.

What about the part where Circl would supposedly know if he was the kill target? Sure, if some flavor popped up during the night, maybe Circl would know. But why are you so sure he would know? You stated it like it was a fact that it works this way. But you seeing his role PM would not confirm it in any way. You should not be confident enough to say it like that. At best you could say its inconclusive. It's your confidence in that post that's suspicious.

Here's the thing. I asked you to rolecop Circl to verify if his power works that way. You claim you did, and said that it does. But what you would have seen does not verify it at all. And you didn't say that. Instead you acted like it did, and now you're trying to backpedal. This is not what you say if you've seen Circl's role PM:

CapitalistPig posted:

It would make more sense to say "it's inconclusive, but it might work that way and it would still make sense". If I could not challenge you on this then your "overstep" would go completely unnoticed by anyone except for CirclMastr. And if Circl is scum with you playing a long game then that doesn't matter. But even if he isn't I still don't like the tone of your post. You could have just said the above and been telling the truth, instead you dressed up a bunch of mechanics speculation up as your result.

I'm sad about this, but I am now officially town-aligned. Which kind of makes me wonder if the "savior" thing was fake writeup information from Cloaca. Thinking the results of my action being successful was a result of other things like giving away my pet monster.

With Sand being 3p, I'm assuming there's still one more scum left. I have some info on who Never should have jailed last night(assuming he couldn't be blocked), but I'd like to hear who Grandi jailed first.

As it is, we have Meen, Grandi, Circl, and HCT left.

I still feel like Grandi doesn't do a lot of the things he did if he's scum. The one thing holding me off is maybe the homonculus came from the remaining scum which would mean he would know that hammering Hal would do nothing.

I still want to trust Circl based on things I've said. He's also been playing very townsided and helped bury at least two partners though when it wasn't necessary. They could have buried me on D3 and then saved ASF for the next day and they'd be in a much better position.

So it's Meen or HCT. Occam's Razor says Meen, but then a lot of the scum team was focused on bussing (Like CPig for example). The paranoia I'm having on HCT is the fact they were trying to keep us from hammering Cloaca and didn't seem to really be solving worlds as much as discrediting other people's theories that led to just chopping straight into CPig after Cloacamazing.

So, I probably vote one of those two pending certain night actions and such

The 16-bit retro-future of crustacean-based transportation
While we wait for Iggy to check in, I have a question for PsychoSoldier. After your role card changed the first time, you had two actions, yes? Without quoting or anything, what did that look like? Did you get two separate results from Yami each night?

PsychoSoldier
Aug 22, 2022

So, my analyze action is a day action. I'd be told what item I received at the start of the night phase, as well as a description. No clarification of whether it was successful or not other than the fact I received it. I analyzed every day and always got an item.

My Give action is a night action. If I gave it to one of my masons(Wind included when she joined), they would get it instantly and it essentially counted as a bonus action. Because of that, they could use it that same night, and I'm assuming there was no way to block it in that fashion. I know that because I got a potion on N1 and tried to drink it, but that failed, even though I successfully gave my item to Never. We know I was jailed that night, so that goes to show if I wasn't giving the item to someone outside the masonry, I couldn't be blocked.

Drinking potions or giving anything away to a non-mason counted as an action.

So, N1, I gave the item I analyzed from Wind to Never, and tried to drink my potion. I was told my action failed, was not given any indication of whether I successfully gave my item outside of Never confirming he got it.

So I don't think I was told about successful actions when it came to my bonus action.

N2, I gave the message I analyzed from Cloaca to Wind. I also gave the item to SporkChan. I was not told whether my actions were successful that night(I just confirmed with Yami and I don't still have the potion, so I'm guessing it WAS successful). Instead I got all the flavor text about being saved from a kill and my wincon changing. From N3 on, I had "two" actions each night - the Give and the Focus. I was told that the Focus works on addition to other abilities I have. I'm assuming it was in theory blockable, but not getting a result about giving away a potion and my focus action yielding pretty non-descript results is strengthening my theory that me becoming a survivor was Cloaca's flavor ability changing my text about my action being successful.

N3, I give the item from Analyzing HCT to Cloacamazing because at the time I trusted her and wanted someone outside the masonry to be able to confirm(plus was a good way of seeing what Cloaca would do with the info). I completely forgot to Focus. I was told my action was successful(which should be true since Cloaca verified).

N4, I gave the item I analyzed from CPig to Nep. I focused on HCT and was told Nothing of Note Happened when the night phase ended.

N5, I gave another rolecop I analyzed from CPig to Never. I focused on CPig. I was told my action was successful and I received a Pet Monster(which should have came from CPig).

N6, I gave the jail I got from Grandi to Never. I focused on Circl and then gave the pet monster to CPig. I was told my action was successful.

N7, I gave another jail to Never. I also focused on HCT to try and difference check if it would say something other than "Nothing of Note Happened," because I was beginning to wonder if that was also a part of my writeup being manipulated. I wasn't told if my action was successful as I got flavor about my alignment changing after Never died.

I was never given two separate results. I was only told if my action succeeded or failed, and in some cases just got differing flavor text. The one time I got anything that would qualify as two separate results was when I was told my action was successful and I was told I received a Pet monster on the same night

So yeah, I'm largely believing that flavor about my role changing to survivor was complete bullshit

Did you get absolutely nothing N7? Because yeah it really sounds to me like that entire everything was just bullshit from Cloaca.

Totally understandable. If you're town, then you and I probably have the most telling information based on the claims so far. And if you're scum, I don't think your claim makes much difference anyway? But yeah, whenever Meen shows up or you grow impatient, is appreciate it.
