Null read, so yeah, but not preferentially more than anybody else who isn't me to avoid not eliminating. I think toal for instance should know better than to take this at face value.

But Green Wing is also scummy if Meen flips scum. So I'm willing to skip there. That's all I'm saying.

I'm just exasperated, I feel like I've tried to consider your claim and results logically and make sure we aren't making a mistake and for my troubles I'm getting a lot of sneering.

I am starting to entertain the possibility that my assumptions were off, but that only leads me to my 2ndary suspicions on you, Green Wing. Which are only tenuously connected to Meen's alignment and don't rely on it being scum at all.

For the record, (and I apologize for being so scattered today) I called your earlier post a "scum post" because I found it suspiciously short of a time for you to have already come to any conclusions based on Binus flipping scum.

Good morning fellow pinball parts! That looks like an acceptable night result, although opop’s role looks like it was kinda useful if he decided to play along with town.

I definitely got redirected last night.

And I believe Keats did misunderstand his role PM and could easily have gotten redirected too, which to me means Keats and Iggy aren’t necessarily XOR scum.

Prevention of a team-up of two self-confirming town, in spite of him looking pretty bad previously. Basically if I'm protecting Keats, and Keats is targeting me, and there's no NK, that's a game state where it's plausible I stopped the NK. No guarantees obviously but it'd have made me feel warm and fuzzy all the same. I wasn't considering that Keats might be mistaken and be prone to redirection at the time. I didn't in the end think that was overwhelmingly more likely than scum just going ahead and trying to kill me directly, thus the pennies.

Looking at the binus flip I’m speculating that their mason partner will be the top left flipper and also have some kind of redirection power. Since the partner is presumably town I hope they will claim when they check the thread.

Could be more than one partner I guess, dunno how big unconfirmed masonries usually are in games this size

Wow it feels bad posting several times in a row even though I know this is how Mafia is done, but things are just really quiet in the weekday mornings when I have the most time to play!

I've been going over Johnny Keats' posts with a fine-toothed comb and I have to say, despite the seemingly scattershot and aggressive style, they are extremely internally consistent, for which reason I'm inclined to believe his roleclaim. I am also, on a re-read, believing that his action does in fact resolve first in the night:

quote:

I am the "coin slot".

ability: i can ##activate a player at night (not myself). the activated player is immune from blocks/redirection and the resolution order becomes position 1. this means they go before any other role besides this one. i will also receive info about that player's power. this information will not universally apply to the action which was boosted (for example if it was the scum kill), it will only tell me the innate role.

Nothing in this description is inconsistent with anything he's said before, as far as I can tell. I guess it's POSSIBLE that a redirect action targeting Keats might be resolved before deciding Keats' target, but that would be counter to the power as described, in my opinion.

Therefore

##vote Meen

Not sure if this will help but I got targeted last night, though I'm not told by what, but I had it redirected - maybe what killed b-minus?

There are a lot of redirects apparently so it might not have been mine, but I would have been a "safe" kill for scum as a uncontroversial townie (as least before being part of a townie vote kill) - although this assumes scum have a kill ability, which I'm not sure in these games if that's normally too powerful for scum or just how the dice rolls if abilities are randomized between players

I don't have to think about anything sir, I'm town.

There is a town vigilantee
There is a serial killer

I was in the unconfirmed masonry with bee and now I've entered another with someone else, but bee tried to push meen for town and put up toal, opop and win as scum.

So I'll reread all those players later to see if he was maybe bussing or trying to soft clear meen in my eyes.

Can you tell us anything about your night actions or anything that targeted you? I’m confident you’re town and trying to gather information to figure out what happened with my own action.

Keats immediately declaring a turbo on GW simply because she wants to understand Keats' role a little bit more is some insane floundering for a townie to do. This is peak (nervous) scum, baby.

Logically thinking about it, would it make sense for GW to have done the multi-ball gambit when so few people have posted if she were scum?

It would be much easier to sneak into the background like Clue, Wins, etc. Why would someone rugpull D1 if their mission is to remain unknown!!

GW isn't scum. Maybe self-aligned, but I don't think GW is masoned to anybody because WHY would they try that?! They wouldn't if they had even a single other person to talk to and gather info from.

See, if Meen actually is town, this emotional response from scum makes a lot of sense.

The crown jewel of Keats posting is this flourish where suddenly Keats isn't so sure of his (probably fake) role anymore and is immediately trying to condition people against GW when they are the only person in thread actually trying to parse how Keats' ""role"" mechanically works.

Ladies and gentlemen of the class, I would posit that our only actionable move here is to vote KEATS and NOT Meen.

If Keats somehow isn't scum, then we'll have shot ourselves in the foot but will have Meen dead-to-rights. However, we'll also have lost a rolecop that doesn't know how their role even works. We are guaranteed 1 scum kill with this option.

Our other option would be to kill Meen based on Keats' faulty understanding of their "role." We have an EXTREMELY UNLIKELY scum flip on Meen. We are guaranteed no scum kill. We retaliate against Keats and vote him. We then have an UNGUARANTEED scum kill, because its possible that Keat's just didn't understand their role well enough.

Still not thinking Keats is scum, that they just don't have a very slick posting style

If GW is scum then it's absolutely hats off to them for taking a lead role in the game early on as scum and pulling it off so well - still an incredibly strong townie read for me

Paranoid is starting to make me paranoid

##vote Meen - role overlap seems unlikely (though pinball parts can be paired), not really convincing me another vote right now is better, and it honors the dead's very clear wishes (RIP and sorry, Inf)
