My point is that there's been no substantiation that you have a nightkill at all, since so far the number of nightkills = number of scumteams. Given that, claiming your kills makes no sense for either scum or town.

Abyssal Squid posted:

Assuming Opopanax is telling the truth, he picked the worst possible vig candidate, because even if Asiina was fakeclaiming scum she'd have been killed immediately by the other scum team anyway. On top of that, there were only two nightkills, which means that one scum team killed fiery_valkyrie and the other:

1) Chose to kill Asiina at the same time as Opopanax.
2) Had their killer get roleblocked.
3) Chose to kill somebody else, who turned out to be protected.
4) Chose not to kill anybody at all. Also, CPig is a jester.
5) Maybe both scum teams targeted Asiina, canceled out, Opopanax's vig went through, and there's also a serial killer who killed fiery_valkyrie for some reason. Also, Byers and Ecco are lovers and death millers.

At best Opopanax isn't paying any attention at all. More likely, he's scum and there were only two kills last night because only scum have nightkills.

##vote Opopanax

EccoRaven posted:

This is all completely and totally true. Thank you for putting it down.

Furthermore, if I were scum I'd have killed Byers, because as I've stated before, when I'm scum I play to win, and I always go for the player attacking me over someone who isn't. This is helped by a community that never wants to guess why players were killed but that's neither here nor there.


Nope sorry but you're oinking up the wrong tree

We know that Byers protected himself N1 and that Ecco is scum. It's quite plausible that Ecco tried to kill Byers with the vampire nightkill, then hid behind the 2nd kill to argue her innocence based on Byers failing to die. This may have been part of Byers's case that he couldn't be arsed to share, since as doctor he would have known that Ecco was blowing smoke here. fiery_valkyrie had ended the day calling for Narc's lynch, so the werewolves probably got f_v. That leaves Asiina wide open for a potential Opop kill.

Scum kills cancel each other out in Fire & Ice, so N2 can be accounted for easily if both scumteams targeted the same person. I would have asked who was such an obvious target that both scumteams would have gone for them, but I answered that a few posts up: Opop, who was persistently claiming vigilante (and the vampires, at this point, would know there was a 3rd kill floating around.) The scum trip over each other and Opop vigs Ecco.

It's not ironclad, but that's the best evidence we have that there is a 3rd kill out there. Which, yes, is likely SK.

That, and also this post is really weird:

ShadowGlass posted:

Saying you've killed scum does not make you automatically a friendly whatsoever. It feels like there is this night war going on between the two scum teams and the SK, and we're just watching from the sidelines. I still don't believe you've forgot Asiina's claim. You've seen a town power role and eliminated it. Just because you happened to hit scum since then doesn't mean you'll in the future (you have to kill everyone, right?).
The other thing to consider is that it seems for whatever reason the two scum teams only have one (or zero) kills a night. But you alone have one kill a night too. So hanging the SK would halve the number of night kills and give us a chance for a town win.
I've also noticed that when Sandwolf said we should wait with the hammer because he has information you still voted him. While Meinberg hammered (and we should look at him tomorrow), you put him at -1. Just like with Asiina, you're doing everything to keep us as uninformed as possible.

##vote Opop

Speculating that there are scumteams with no nightkill just to shoehorn your SK theory into a game with only 2 flips per night so far is really, really out there.

So, when the flip came up for the kills last night, I realized that my behavior was fairly suspect. While the Sandwolf hammer is definitely worse (although his behavior with Ecco was enough to make him doubt him), the werewolf thing gave me an idea. I intentionally drew attention to how suspicious I was, to see who would be willing to vote me, seeking out an easy vote rather than one that was particularly well sourced.

And who is the first person to vote for me? Shadowglass.

Glockenapfel, because I don't have any really solid reads right now and he's being a dick without actually being any more helpful to town than other possible targets. Actually, scratch that, I think I'd go for Opop (assuming we don't lynch him today.) I think pretty much regardless of his alignment we're probably better off with him dead than alive; having him around is casting too much confusion over night actions.

The way I see it, the possibilities for lynching Opop are:

1) he's an SK, we lynch him and mafia almost certainly win
2) he's a vigilante with no kills left, we lynch him and lose a town vote and mafia probably win unless the SK hits one of them
3) (remote possibility) he's a vigilante who still has a kill in reserve (possible since he lied about it before if he was a vig), we lynch him and lose a town vote + the kill

or

4) we don't lynch him and he's SK, he kills a town and we lose a vote and mafia get a leg up; or he kills a mafia and town get a leg up; or he doesn't kill for some reason and nothing happens
5) we don't lynch him and he's a vig without a kill, we keep a town vote; or he somehow has a kill in reserve and we have a town vote + kill


Basically if we lynch him it's just going to give the mafia an advantage in most scenarios so i'd rather go for a real mafia at this point.

(I am assuming SK doesn't win with the mafia but I might be wrong on the rules there)

I want to hear from Rarity because the insight she has on you could be valuable. And I don't have a read on Rarity at this time so I'd like to hear more from her. Also, if you are indeed lovers, that's information we should know, don't you think?

I'm ignoring Pope because reading his posts was melting my brain. I already gave my read on him. If you think I'm voting Opop for no clear reason, you haven't been reading my posts.

Then you go to kill Byers while saying "I feel really bad about lynching this doctor guys!!" which didn't actually stop you.

Chic Trombone posted:

Oh for fucks sake if we're gonna lynch the claimed doc (which is a terrible idea imo) let's just get on with it already ##vote Byers

This game day is awful and needs to end


The way I read this is that you're on the team opposite from Ecco (which was werewolves? I forget) so you wanted to either take out a member of the opposite scum squad or to drop a town doctor, either of which would have been advantageous for you. Your posts have been really sparse and low content but i'm not going to use that in any case against you since mine haven't exactly been super content packed either.



Gabriel Pope posted:

I didn't read him as being scum, but my opinion may have been influenced by other people making sk/vig cases on him. I don't really see claiming vigilante as being a scum move anyway since (correct me if i'm wrong) there's not usually multiple vigilantes in the town, and another vig would almost certainly have counterclaimed when Opop did so it's risky.
