The only person still alive who didn't vote Coq on D1 is Tirade.
Assuming that he's right about himself and Bif, it means that two scum agreed to reduce their number by 1/3 on D1.

It would be gutsy play but massive, massive risk imo. I can't imagine Coq being too happy about it in the scumdoc unless they just thought the final votes would switch into Anidav.

Hey I made a complete accident with the kat lynch but Tirade voting then Mith last night just killed of what I was trying to say mid conversation. Didn't like which way it was going Mith? I'll come back to that later and repost what I wrote last night but couldn't post due to threadlock.


Birdstrike posted:

If anyone cares I actually find Tirade's results less believable with TBK being night killed.
Letting him be able to have 3 potential confirmed town in a 7 player setup is a huge risk for scum if he's real.


Yes! This! It has me completely doubting the cop today as a result of this. Risking a cop to be a live when we've only had vanilla flips we are now meant to believe there is a cop and a role blocker.. I don't like this.

hammering a half hour from deadline is not a rush.

Mid-discussion is you dunce. Especially when Bowmore said earlier he'd be back before deadline.

as if the scum would have killed Tirade, letting him live is a great distraction.

##vote Birdstrike


I dunno, leaving a cop alive is too big a risk. Unless he's not a cop.


Does him claiming roleblock make any sense to you birb?

bowmore posted:

My first instinct is that scum would kill a claimed cop right off the bat

but if they have a roleblocker it makes more sense that they would kill one of the cleared town and just roleblock Tirade so he's still a lynch candidate today

Nah I don't think so. Town has one cop and scum have possibly a god father and a roleblocker, yet we've only flipped vanilla? Something's not right here.

Even the night kill target- TBK. What does killing TBK give us? It tries to make Tirades claim of cop valid. No, they didn't kill the cop, they roleblocked him and just happened to kill one of his investigations. Yeah, that's not planned at all.

As we circle the drain I'm leaning towards Tirade and possibly Bif. Both started of the game odd, both have been called on it and we've all gone on to ignore them both.

your posting seems deliberate and forced this game. games where you've survived day 1 and i've gone "oh he's just being anidav' and you've turned up town, i can't do that this game. This game reminds me of your nurse one. I still think your 3p.

Here was what I was going to post last night in response to Mith saying she had a 'gut feeling' zets was town, but her and tirade closed the thread off while I was writing it and finding the relevant quotes.

------------------------

Mithranderp posted:

I don't, I literally said "I get the feeling".

"get the feeling he just might not be used to playing town."


sorry to be a pedant but imo that's different to "i get the feeling he's town"

you also said:

Mithranderp posted:

Zets: is a little bit different from his usual scum routine. I don't know whether that's because he's trying to avoid detection--usually he hides behind some kind of fun roleplay--or if it's because he's just not used to playing as town.

which again, you're 'feeling' he's town whilst simultaneously thinking he's trying to avoid detection and not playing his usual scum routine.

and this morning you said:

Mithranderp posted:

I will probably end up voting for Tirade. I am pretty sure Anidav isn't scum, because lol no scum team would bus Coq instead of Anidav. Zets and Bird both strike me as silently scummy, as does tbk, but tbk's always got that vibe to him.

so you've gone from thinking zets is scummy, to he's town over the course of today based on? he didn't do anything except vote tirade, unvote, vote tbk, unvote, then argue with me about god fathers and cops which you apparently didn't really read about or comment on.

--------------

So that said, I have no clue atm. I don't like the 'roleblock' and cop claim and investigation kill, I don't like the mith hammer, i don't like mith feeling his town when her first post of the day had him as scummy and he's done nothing that warranted that change in opinion, well from my perspective anyhow. This was all from last nights conversation, just wanted to put it out there and cbf really following up this afternoon. Maybe again tonight.

I can't provide any reason for Tirade being roleblocked related to my character.

Roleblocked also seems like an oddly specific claim in what was to yesterday a very vanilla heavy game. It doesn't quite fit with my recollection of how Gaspy would report night results.

hambeet
Sep 13, 2002

like I can see a flipside of killing tbk. If they kill the cop they possibly validate two town players. if they kill his investigation it doesn't completely verify him either. but if one of them was a godfather they would want that person to look clear and remove the risk of keeping a cop alive

idk. just throwing thoughts out there. lunch time.

I don't think Gaspy would have said "you were roleblocked" in a result PM. I think he would have said something like "your action failed" and left it to the player to consider.

From this Tirade could have said "I tried to investigate Bird and it didn't work for some reason" but he specifically said roleblocked.

Does roleblocker plus godfather seem like overkill against a town cop in this setup?
If so this might clear Bif if Tirade has been truthful.

Gaspy didn't say roleblocked, the response was "your investigation was unsuccessful. Assuming that I was roleblocked seems a fairly safe conclusion.

Going off into the weeds a bit, but could there have been two scum on the Coq vote if Anidav is the roleblocker? Once it looked like one of them was going to be lynched either way, sacrifice the vanilla scum?

I'm trying to figure out a scenario where there would be two scum on the D1 lynch and where Tirade is straight up for town.

I haven't ruled anything out except my causing the investigation to fail. My theories though are either you were roleblocked and have been truthful, or you are lying about being a cop.

My reasons for thinking you're lying relate to you not being an NK target, me thinking that there would not have been 2/3 scum on the D1 lynch of the other scum and that you're the only player alive who wasn't on that lynch (if we accept that Bif's overkill vote counted).

If you were roleblocked though that might be a reason why a vanilla scum was sacrificed.

Hmm. Birb's "what if I commuted" bit didn't sit well with me, just confirm what you can at the time already. But I'm quite glad he pointed out that I should be cleared IF Tirade is truthful.

That doesn't clear him with me yet, though. It sounds like a very helpful townie to say, but in a way that could still benefit scum. If Tirade is telling the truth then I can be cleared with you guys, but a Scumbirb could probably coast by a little longer while you lynch me or Tirade, or at someone else other than Birb, to try and find that out. If Tirade is lying, a Scumbirb has nothing to lose by pointing out this useless hypothetical.

I don't know yet though if this enough to make Birb the sussest one of the bunch, though. I'll try to get in a good effortpost when bub's in mega-nap mode. Not too many people left to look at so I'll do a more indepth review.

I actually proposed coq first I think, you raised it, i reminded you I did and we voted accordingly. So techincally you were one of the early followers :smuggo:

Also a technicality I didn't switch. I hadn't voted that day before I voted Coq. My vote was on anidav from the day before the game started. I guess you could class that as a vote.

So your theory is that scum decided to bus coq when there were zero votes on him and when anidav was three quarters of the way to a lynch?

This is the vote count for D1. Anidav got up to 6 votes at one stage. If we believe Tirade, 5 of those votes were from townies.

I just don't see why the scum would throw Coq under the bus unless Anidav was worth saving. If he wasn't they could have easily bussed Anidav instead.
