I am the Burgundy King,
I can do anything!

BTW, one odd thing.

The experiment dude is Bedevere. I found one weird witch script on the internet where they refer to him as Vladimir instead, but it's Bedevere. I just rewatched the scene.

Not sure what to make of that.

What are your thoughts on Shadow0 after I've caught him in a potential scumslip after claiming the 3 Headed Knight?

This is dumb. First of all, scum are far more hesitant about saying anything that will paint them as a scum. I don't think this tells anything about Shadow as it is, but if it tells us anything, its that Shadow is more town than scum.

I'm on board with Rascyc. I think (he? she? sorry I forget I used to know) has a good case against Infinitum

You're being obtuse, but for what its worth I at least believe you are being sincere (and you brought some good points).

Unfortunately, no one is going to be willing to vote for a possible scum when between YPM and TT we have confirmed scum. The actual details of how YPM came to the conclusion are somewhat irrelevant (provided he definitely got a scum result and isn't misinterpreting his results). It is a dumb gambit for a scum to make on D1, as it definitely outs them on D2 at the absolute latest for only one mislynch. Later in the game? Sure, when a mislynch puts us at lylo or worse.

I didn't know at the beginning of the process that I would have to leave one of them by the wayside. I am assuming that it is from my side that I had to leave CP out of the experiment, as a way of hovering my future experiments since I can't use CP for the rest of the game. I would guess that it will continue like that the next day (I will choose two people, choose a number, leave one of the people out of experiments permanently, and get some sort of result, whether it be cop or other role)

someone correct where my thinking is wrong here:

- YPM selects 2 people and picks a 1-10
- YPM doesn't know what the 1-10 means
- YPM then selects 1 person to leave out
- YPM gets a result on one person

Yea?

I said potential scumslip, it's a role heavy game and if we're looking at the meta poo poo the 3 Headed Knight isn't a member of the Round Table.

It's a logical conclusion is all, and I'll be keeping an eye on Shadow0 a lot more because of it.

And thats a fine point to make, but you've been hiding behind it. It sounds like something a scum would jump on that is relatively benign, but that they can ride all the way to a lynch, seem like they are producing content, and then look back and say "whoops"

It isn't that it is the context of Tastes claim, there is definitely VT in this game, but the way taste shoehorned it into the conversation was weird and clunky and it just screamed scum fake claim to me.

This is why I voted for Taste based on that claim but also because Taste loves dicking around with fakeclaims. I don't see him locking himself into a VT claim straight out the gate unless he had ulterior motives.

I normally agree when it comes to chain lynches, but in this case it's literally someone is unequivocally calling someone else scum. Their alignments are not the same.

I don't know vote finder says very few games. I think throwing in an "actively bad for town" kind of negates that though. A new player (whether town or scum) would explain someone else's logic and leave it at that usually (as an excuse to post content typically). Friction tosses in an extra phrase for good measure which makes it lean a little on the scum side to me.

Why would it make no sense? We had now three people talk about chain lynching and various degrees of analyzing the claim (I'm not saying its amazing the amount of content that has been generated, but there is some). It seems weird you are so eager to lynch me if I'm wrong or gambling or insane or anything else. Its one thing to look at me or even think I'm scum, but you and two others are saying that i should automatically be lynched.

It's not a gambit and yes, he called someone scum and afterwards realized his result may not be correct. I don't know what that necessarily says about YPM so all we're with are the posts and how people interacted with those posts. In my mind the way some people reacted to those posts is scummy. That's not a gambit.

Is this confusing? I can help clear up the thought process later. I have to go for now and start my day.

Also i am willing to trade dennis if that is allowed. I assume it's not, though!

That's just standard language for mafia games, it's designed to give town zero info. It doesn't mean there's definitely more than two.

I would argue that most of the round table are friends of the sciences, (the swallow thing, the duck thing, etc.) but that this result does not preclude TT from being an idiot towny like he claimed.
