You know, when you think about it, the simplest reason why Inf's vig failed to kill Tobbs is because he lied about ever using it.

ah, thanks for clarifying exactly what exactly you guys did. I was assuming he used it on slasher to avoid a bomb death, then the other scum killed bird last night.

Oh nevermind, I misread how the ability worked. I thought it was *if* you die, the targetted player dies.

are you willing you to take one for the team and "win" with the town (as you're an anti-scum role), even if it means you technically losing

I mean I'm gonna keep playing for the town because scum winning before they kill me would mean a loss.

Given that there's probably two scum remaining, I can't even try to make a deal where I vote with them if they promise to kill me in the night because I'm pretty sure I'd be endgamed before the night even happens. :(

So of Infinitum, stickup and DB, two have got to be scum.

I mean it's possible that only one is, but in a game this size I'd guess two especially seeing as IS was willing to sacrifice himself to get the kills.

I've had stickup pegged for town for a bit, probably need to re-read him to make sure though.

DickBastardly I had listed as "2 dumb 4 scum" for a while, but he has done no scum hunting since then so I'm leaning scumbo at the moment.

Inf I also need to re-read but he pushed Tobbs' really hard (probably harder than he needed to be pushed frankly). He also claims his vig failed but I don't think there have been any roles flipped yet that explain it so it seems like a lie to me.

SSV claimed 3p bodyguard who wins when he blocks a scum kill and only a scum kill. Its a super weird claim and the fact that he still has failed to meet his wincon or be night killed is extremely suspicious.

Currently leaning SSV/DB for scum team.

Also re: DB, he was the only person who disagreed with testing the mason claim. I don't think there was any doubt that we needed to kill one of us to guarantee our alignment at that point so it seems like something he set up so he could "Aha! Told you they were town!" later on or make me think he was town or something I dunno.

Y'know, the fact that I haven't been killed yet makes me suspicious of Infinitum. I've been guarding him a bunch, so what if they've been leaving me alone because they know I've been guarding a scumbo?

there is an almost foolproof scenario for the town and you both to win, yes, but you still are left with a chance of losing. higher odds than this strategy though.

I fudged the truth because I was worried that scum would try to deny me the win if they knew that directly killing me would cause me to win.

it doesn't. he still has to flip a coin to win, and the coin isn't in his hands anymore.

I'm surprised he hadn't come up with a multitude of plans early on for ways to win by working with the scum instead of against, but based on this strategy, I think I get why

3p bodyguard that wins by getting NK'd or by blocking a scum kill and thus dying.

unless it's really only one of them, in which case your strategy is double hosed. with this many 3p players, it's quite possible, especially considering the fact that our roles were all gated

I had been thinking the same thing about inf and his vig for a while

bird saved you with his one shot. I had him and me pegged as the doc/cop as soon pretty early on after the types were all revealed, as it was clear that the two of us + tobbs (assumed jailer at the time) were the starters.
dunno how bird jumped to the conclusion that IS was a cop. what? I brought up the starter 3 in the thread hoping to give him a hint in case he hadn't realized yet, as he knew one of the 3 was the doctor

Inf pushed extremely hard to flip a mason, when a cop could have cleared them both with one investigation. this is why I wanted you to actually cooperate so you wouldn't get lynched that day.
defended DB for seemingly no reason, and put him in the gym when it would not actually test his claim. reading the whole thing with IS's claim felt like an inf way of thinking to me, and pushing very hard to turbo him later also is completely fine if he knows IS is going to die anyway

why did people believe a "2x nightcop 1x daycop" with a result of "scum" anyway?
think about it for more than a second. there are a poo poo load of 3p players in this game, apparently. non town is the result I'd get, which is far more appropriate than scum. all you had to do was wait a few hours for me to get off work, but nooope, gotta go fast
