In front of him is a bullet, floating in mid-air, held by milky white magickal energies. Hawke picks up the bullet and drops it on the ground. "Is that all you got?"

The first post is from a rushed catch up at the end of D2 before I disappeared for 3 days due to RL stuff. I forgot to do that, sure, but it's not the "gotcha!" you're trying to make it. The second post is accurate in that I liked Token's Moat case, but I also thought Token's case on b- was good.

Only way for the Sandwolf kill makes sense is if gamer is scum, right? Can argue WIFOM here I suppose but I think in 9 out of 10 cases of something like this, it's the scum doing the obvious thing and hoping town WIFOMs out of it or, what usually happens, just ignores any thinking of "why" behind the NK. Sandwolf was the person pressing the hardest for info iirc, don't think anyone else was really probing too deep. I don't recall any posts that really made them standout, not sure they ever even hinted at a role.

I feel stupid that I put aside my feelings about the claim because of the mod, especially given I had just done that in Cpig's game.

:agreed:, but for me the idle speculation is not wanting to be wrong more than any game logic that leaves b- as scum, cause there's not many (any?) game perspectives where it's possible

The only way that b- is scum would be 1) for yuming to be scumbos with them (which I don't believe) and 2) they decided that some set of moat lurking was too detrimental and/or b-'s role being more important to the scum team was worth the switch, which is just a crazy stretch imo given that moat flipped doc

I didn't read it as he had a power role, it read to me that his BS detector was going off and he was trying to tone it down after some bad experiences in other games recently rather than jump all over it so he went with some pointed questions

I think most people itt would have been wondering questions about your claim whether they thought it a good idea to push it in the thread or not, and that would necessarily include VTs, so I think the assumption that "Oh it was clear that sand was telegraphing a power role" is a strange one

Or maybe I'm just bad at reading mafia games and I'm the only one who did not pick that up off Sand, which would also not surprise me

Simplest answer and therefore the likely correct one is he's not a mason at all, he only claimed that to postpone his lunch because he thought there was no chance he'd get us off him indefinitely.

He invented the story about the watcher mason buddy and results on Tokes in order to provoke a counterclaim or visible suspicion from a Town power role so they could kill that person. Sandwolf gave them the reaction they were looking for, so he died.

Now Gamer has accomplished the two of the three things he wanted to: postponing his lunch and finding a good NK target. Unfortunately for him he didn't manage the third thing, which was pushing the lunch onto b-minus yesterday.

At this point though he doesn't think he's got a chance of making it out of the day alive and just wants to get it over with.

Naming Jed as his buddy instead of admitting he lied about the whole thing is a WIFOM strategy. When we decide he's lying, lunch him and he flips Scum-aligned not-a-mason, we're meant to make assumptions about Jed's alignment based on whether we think he'd choose a Townie or a scum buddy to pit himself against in this battle of contradictory claims.

As far as my opinion on gamer goes, he seems like he could be scum and I’m highly skeptical of a second miller group AND a third party group.

. My flavor and win con, and imo the odd posting habits of several people, leads me fairly clearly to the conclusion there is some possibly substantial third party group (including me I guess) with a direct tie to the items in this game. I think having multiple mini factions is clutter so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s lying.

If he’s not, and especially if he flips mason, then I’m almost certain we’ll needs to lunch Jed, because at the very least those two are clearly at odds since he’s won’t back up their claim.

This is not true. Flavor matters in Ecco games, at least a little. When the first gun exploded, that was clearly an intrinsic effect. If would have exploded no matter who shot it.

The flavor for SNGs gun indicates that it fired properly but an extrinsic effect caused the kill to fail. Whether that's Hawke's own power or that of an item Hawke is carrying I don't know, but it seems clear to me that Ecco was indicating that this gun would have worked if fired at someone else.

Yeah, the only reason a thing like a flavorcop can work is because Ecco super cares about her flavor. That wasn't just for nothin.

This sort of wack third party hunting is also kind of indicative of scum who are spooked and trying to hunt third party factions, maybe because they didn't poison or maybe because they keep missing kills? I dunno. I don't I've had a satisfactory answer towards SNG's thought process and this whole line of thought is weird.

I want to stress again SNG was wrong about Birb having an item and using that reason actions he took in thread. He also says he has an ability to see what items do but hasn't full claimed his targets or have answers for what any of the 3 items I'm holding do.

This is a really good point and I don't think gamer's response is convincing. Also, the "i've heard that someone tried to kill TF 3x" came right as momentum was shifting to gamer early on D3. Also the idea is insane and I don't believe it happened. My preference is ##vote gamer though I like the case on chaos too. Hawke and SNG are also suspicious to me but it seems like they're more likely to be 3P, and gamer/chaos are the scum we should kill.

I can use my gem, a diamond spyglass, to see the action that one given item, or person will have per night. I have a survivor win condition, in addition to the fact that the majority of the gems must not be in the hands of the state or it's agents. As to what the state is, I don't know. I assume its a 3p cult situation, as it would be hard for a single person to gather the majority of the items themselves. And as I said, the flavor said if 3p gets the gems, we all lose.



So this role spies on people and 'sees' items being given and also knows what's being given. SNG also used it on himself last night to learn the ability of an item he was holding? It's weird!

But scum doctor flipped, and also the n2 kill is accounted for in the poisoning of sandwolf. So even though tokes day vigged scum it appears she wasn't the target of a scum kill.

THey did have it. It was used when I shot them. As I explained before, the primary reason for shooting him was that between how he was acting with the gun, his 3p posting style, and the flavor text that you put out here about his role, I was confident he was a state agent and probably had the BP jewel. And my bet was if he didn’t, he was 3p anyway and a good kill. I don’t see how this is confusing.

The text for his near death was very explicit. Magical energies keeping the bullet in the air. White light, which imo is from the silver amulet which I’ve confirmed at least to myself is in play. I don’t know what else to say. I’m not speaking generalities, I’m being painfully specific and clear. He’s lying. And if you have any reason to confirm or deny beyond theory, it calls into question HOW you got the info. And you are too good a player to make that kind of logical mistake.
