##vote no lynch

I wanna see if Hal can withhold a kill, no lynch today, Hal doesn't kill sledge or anyone else tonight. Amoebas flavour for today seems like a big hint that this is the right decision and if Hal can withhold a kill AND he's LP I feel ok assuming he's not a bad guy

I was actually just about to repost that daily flavor. At best, the Pacifism Disney End is the real end. At worst, Hal kills me and I'm almost fine with that. I'm town, I know I'm town, maybe when the Introduced are dead people will stop speculating that my team is the scum.

##vote no lynch

I'm putting down hard money that Hal still kills someone, though, because he can't not loving kill someone for one day.

I like Hal and I want to believe him and everything I see him doing kinda supports that he's not a BadMan but I am just not convinced he isn't going to submit a NK he then lies about. Bottom line for me. I don't think we can use "Hal don't kill anyone" as a gauge for jack poo poo because he can kill someone and go "Nah that wasn't me I don't even know!" and then we're even more lost than we already are.

Actually if there's an nk tonight we're literally back where we started, if there isn't one then we're better off so no, we're not even more lost. If we lynch someone today and Hal is full of poo poo we just inch closer to lylo.

Hey if people hadn't tried to kill ME yesterday I would have been fine with withholding!

Although I guess if I had seen yuming's flip first I may have reconsidered.

But I am ok trying this method, I would love to see the rest of us all win together somehow.

I really do have no idea how I could die though (I assume trying to kill Grandi would do it) and I even PM'd Amoeba back after I got the PM saying I survived and was like why the hell are you doing this to me I can't take another day of having to convince everyone again that I have no idea what is going on

Like, the argument for being the antagonist team / kill goal still stands. If the goal of the game is just to kill the Introduced, it is the most piss-easy game ever in history. No docs, no fake claims, team doesn't know it's the bad guys, Kash can't kill, Yuming can MAYBE kill one person (????), and Hal's still the gently caress alive so you know that's not what my role does. The idea that the game's end goal is to kill my three person piss team of rookies with awful roles is ... I don't know, guys, is that really the spec still?

If I was someone else with a kill I probably would do nothing with it for as long as possible because as soon as another kill shows up it validates me WAY more and shifts everyone's focus.

I am not saying it's great speculation but it's valid speculation

Yuming definitely had the ability to kill and never mentioned it. WHY?

So are you also speculating that I made you lynchproof? Is this in addition to your speculation that I'm bulletproof? I am a lynchproof-making bulletproof night killer?

Yuming did mention that her goal is to find someone "to play with," she might not have actually known what the gently caress that meant. We still don't even know what it was, we're just speculating it kills someone probably.

I'm absolutely willing to entertain killing no one for a bit to see what happens but...

Yuming LIED to us and said she was looking for a teammate or someone to play with and made it out to be totally innocent.

You have given a tonal indication that you have OOT communication with yuming (the way you have defended her and seeming to know what she did with her role).

Your other team member was a rolecop who may well have been there to help yuming find whoever she had to kill.

Come on, lets not pretend your team is all innocent

This isn't going to be believable speculation coming from me, but

If Hal's Lynchproof was a secret, the Brutal part of Yuming's visitor might have been a secret. Like, she was pretty open about the "trying to find someone to play with" part, and didn't argue with any of the spec that it was bird-related or whatever. If Hal's real loving serious about not knowing why he's Lynchproof, and it's not some magical new role somebody has, there might just be hidden role parts.

Where? If it's about her not visiting Quid, I already covered that. Otherwise you're talking out of your rear end.

If you're not "secret Lynchproof" and I didn't make you Lynchproof, why the gently caress are you lynchproof?

Just the way you rushed to her defense and always was so sure she was innocent even when nothing she was doing gave indication of that. You were never really even willing to look at her. I get that she claimed to be on the same team as you, but with how this setup has played out you should have had cause to look at her harder. Kind of the same with Kash, but his play was better so it's more understandable.

It's just how it feels to me, I am not claiming it to be true. I'm just trying to play mafia here in case being friends isn't the real answer.

And I've defended her for the same reason I've defended Kash. The possibility of them not being Introduced was always there, but coming out d1 and immediately revealing their animals as non-Native would be a loving insane strategy for a scum to pull. Like, it was guaranteed to get them killed (spoilers, they are dead). I didn't believe if they were actually bad guys, that they'd make a poo poo play like that right out the gate. I know my PM paints me as town, so I bought It.

I don't think Grandi's scum for the same reason. He's a guaranteed policy lynch. He will die with that claim, period. I don't think a scum would bother making that claim d1.

Do you want me to repost that Wikipedia thing about possums?

Like, if you want to go after flavor, Pig has both been scummy and is a renowned pest in countries bordering Australia. Right now, though, I want you to think about this poo poo rationally. Flavor's important, but a game where the goal is to kill me, Kash, and Yuming with the roles as presented (I know my role is still a mystery, but bear with me here)... like, that poo poo wouldn't make any sense. That would be World's Easiest Mafia. We flipped Yuming and we still don't actually know who Yuming could kill, we just think it's maybe Quid because birds(?). My team is not a good antagonist team. I really feel like that logical point should stick firmer than flavor, especially when the intro to the game said it was about "animals surviving Australia" or whatever. Like, we're dealing with contradictory flavor at this--

We are Australian animals trying to survive Australia. Introduced, Native, but still Australian.

Hal is an Australian trying to kill pests that threaten the Australian animals.

Possums are a pest in New Zealand. Those non-Australian possums are pests, but Australian possums are fine. We don't know what kind of possum Pig is.

If we subscribe to this theory at all, in any way shape or form, and I get any say in this, I'd like to try Pig first. He's also been ludicrously scummy, and I'm kind of working a double decker sandwich of suspicion here. I don't know if you want to lynch Grandi because he's scummy, or if you want to lynch Grandi because you know you can't shoot him. I know you know what your answer is, but you have to know I can't trust that answer.

Pig has been shady and bad, though, in addition to my "the enemy is not Australia" theory.
