"There is a difference between fear and caution."

I am Shane Oman, Vanilla Town. I agree that killing capps is strictly better than killing no one (for town, anyway). I wouldn't consider killing anyone other than capps or fv because if we kill town and capps isn't lying, we just lose.
Agreed.

uhh reasoning

like i hope i have 2 points but logically i probably actually only have one

like this is pretty straight forward
Except your first post was pretty confident and the new information since then should have made you more confident. You know, unless you don't actually care about the claimed wincon and weren't paying close attention to it.

Oh, and another point in favor of Capps being Scum. We know the Scum roleblocker hit someone with no night action during N1, and Keane was targeted by Capps. If I'm right, we won't have a Scum RBer tonight which makes victory little more than a formality. Just under 5 hours left, let's lynch Capps.

Sorry if I'm wrong Capps, but your lynch is the only thing that makes sense today. Lynching someone who might be Town risks losing the game today if you're telling the truth. No lynching is just a worse form of lynching you if you're telling the truth. Lynching you leaves us with the same lynching opportunities in the future with the possibility of additional info. If you you are lying, then we obviously should lynch you today.

The only difference I'm seeing is that I'll likely be dead tomorrow if you're telling the truth. And while I'm not lacking in the self opinion category, I don't think that is worth the risk of leaving you alive.

"There is a difference between fear and caution."
I have considered one small benefit to lynching someone else over Capps today.

If we hit Scum, then they can't Roleblock and kill tonight which means Opop can protect me tonight. So that's something. I still think it's not worth the risk, but I'll ponder that for a bit.

"There is a difference between fear and caution."
Let's do that list thing kids were doing earlier.

Rules out:
Keane/capps We know Keane had a Vig so she wouldn't have multiple RBs so Capps would have to be the RBer and it would be very odd for him to target his buddy n1.
Keane/TT Ruled out by f_v.
Zebu/TT Ruled out by f_v.
capps/TT Ruled out by f_v.
Opop/TT Ruled out by f_v.

Very unlikely:
Keane/f_v - Keane could have saved her Vig, let the Thunderdome finish (killing a Townie or a 3rd Party), and Vigged someone tomorrow as soon as any Townie voted for another Townie. Resulting in a surprise LYLO.
Keane/Zebu - See above.
Keane/Opop - See above.
f_v/Opop - Between my Town result on him and his play, I'm pretty confident Opop is Town. (And honestly, we'll probably just lose if I'm wrong since I don't see us catching him at this point)
Zebu/Opop - See above.
capps/Opop - See above.

The rest:
f_v/Zebu
f_v/capps
f_v/TT
Zebu/capps

Huh, so in any of those 4 cases lynching f_v won't end the game today. Hmm...

And even adding the unlikely Keane options back in, the only one that ends the game is Keane/Zebu.

Also, if the scum team was me/capps, killing fv would win the game for town because it would verify the identity of both scum (assuming you rule out keane as scum).

Yep, that's what I was getting at. It almost seems too easy, but I'm not seeing any holes in my logic at the moment.

Then again, I didn't see anything wrong with my logic on Capps until I went through this process.

We have me, Ard and FV here. Scum will want to RB me tonight, then kill one of the three. But if two of us survive we will gain info. FV will either catch or clear someone, or Ard will.

Why are you 100% ruling out Keane? We've already said the scum team seems a bit underpowered, so a scum day vig would balance that.

It's not 100%, but there seems to be little to be gained for Keane by using the Vig today instead of tomorrow.

Here's how I see it.

Most likely scum team Capps/Zebu. Capps is the roleblocker.

Unlikely, but not impossible scum team Keane/Zebu. In this case Capps is telling the truth about his 3P role.

To me, lynching Zebu makes sense with either combination. Lynching Capps also makes sense because if he is telling the truth about being 3P then if he disappears overnight and we lynch town today, then we lose.

Keane, I don't understand your thinking. If fv isn't scum, the only plausible team that doesn't include you is me and capps. And you have an unreasonable level of trust in capps. And even if it was me and capps, I think town would win after killing fv.

I'm ready to cast my vote, but I'd rather here what Opop has to say first. I'm okay with making this decision and possibly losing the game for myself, but I'd rather not make that decision for Opop without hearing his thoughts.

I don't think this is true. If capps is telling the truth and we kill him, scum can block opop and kill ard. Then fv says she tracked me and its her word against mine again, except now its lylo.
