I think I agree more than I don't with your take on IP, since we would presume there is a killing mafia and a role locking mafia, and IP is unlikely to be either with this occurrence.

Keane I believe mentioned that bus number has something to do with action priority.

That demonstrates knowledge that the average town player doesn't have, unless it was just a connective leap in logic.

Probably not true, but if it is...

AA, even when voting me, refuses to commit and is wishy washy in his statements. This is scummy because it feels like he is trying to see if anybody else will bite before committing to the vote, and he's left himself enough room to say "well I said I wasn't sure!" if I am executed.

I don't like this post. It's defending/clearing someone (me) who's been under absolutely no scrutiny whatsoever. I think Toal wants to look smart/townie for clearing me ahead of time if I turn up dead tomorrow.

I'm not a bus driver. I'm a traffic cop. I can investigate someone every night to determine if they are a BUS DRIVER or NOT BUS DRIVER. The important part of that action is that it can't be redirected. So last night even though basically everyone redirected Monathin, I would have gotten an accurate result on him had I not been (I assume) blocked.

Anyway I wanted to get that out there because I can still be moved around by buses and I was a little paranoid that if Toal is scum then they had sussed out that there was a reason for me not claiming what my failed action was, leading to the above post.

IP is claiming a non standard (non busdrive) role and that he was targeted by a non standard role, which is bad and unlikely IMO. It seems like a play scum would make up.

Cop is a very useful claim for scum, especially with a game this size, because they can use it to dominate discussion and hide their actions.

I think it's more likely to me that IP is aggressively pushing town to ensure that the lunch isn't on scum.

I don't think it's reasonable to assume that I've scum who's somehow deduced a town power role at that point and that the best option is for IP to claim there. So I also think IP's thinking is scummy.

I don't think that saying someone looks unlikely to be scum is fake content or fake participation. I included people who I thought were scummy there too. DB for doubling up on someone elses busdrive (thus making it look neutral) seems suspect. Mona bringing up something then dropping it is weird. But this play is something I don't get.

I know I'm town so it strikes me as someone who's jumping through hoops to make a thing happen. I don't understand that play as towny, so I think it's scummy.

In a small game I think claiming early is valuable if you have reasoning for it. If there's 2 scum (I think that's a fair assumption in a nine player game) then we're only two days from lylo, assuming we don't no-lynch anymore.

It's also easier to protect me (assuming scum don't have a similar power that goes through redirects) without worrying about the protector being found out, unless my failed action was the result of a town action (unlikely at this point), because, shockingly, there seem to be a lot of drivers.

fair, but it would be silly to just have everyone be a busdriver and expect the game to work at all so there are going to be some roles

Toalpaz posted:

bad logic imo, why would scum also be bus drivers in a setup like this?

I would expect there to be power roles other than bus driver since I cannot decline to use my ability.

It also ensures if you're comfortable NKing yourself that the busdrive will take it to someone who's not scum most likely.

Yes. I, a busdriver, is accusing you, not a busdriver, of lying about being targeted by scum by another non-standard role in order to set up a fake claim.

I don't think that its impossible for there to be other town roles. I'm saying that IP is weaponizing his role already to somehow suggest that it's shady that I said he's unlikely to be scum prior to his claim. I think he claimed in a very scummy way and that it's also unlikely that he was targeted by RB and is also a cop.

If you assume two scum, a one in six chance (or two in seven if you count the kill) isn't that unlikely

I doubt the bus number dictates priority. I could see it, but I doubt it.
