Alright, well VT isn't a good enough claim to stop the lynch. However, I'm still kind of torn here because it does feel like Dr. Hurt is telling the truth.

I'm still kind of pondering. I don't know if Raeg is telling us the complete truth here, but it could just be him trying to keep some info away from scum.

Man, I just don't know what to do about Raeg. His claim is very awkward, but it also has this ring of truth to it. And yet at the same time, it's still such a strange claim. I could understand having a "Developing Player" being a JOAT and I can imagine it having some limitations like the either/or choices on specific days, but it also seems really weird that the nights go 2, 4, 5. I could see skipping N1, but why N3?

If Raeg had claimed like that and there had been any sort of pressure on him at the time I'd be a lot more suspicious, as it stands the claim looks more like the work of someone who doesn't really know what they're doing than anything else.

Basically, I'm sitting here wondering if Raeg is the source of the extra N1 kill. Like maybe he can kill on odd nights and does something else on even nights?

Yeah. The missing N3 and locking a vig behind N5 are hard parts for me. 16 player game with what looks like a scum kill and a sk kill going is gonna have a hard time making a N5 vig useful when we could be down 3 players a day. Obviously no lynches or role saves can extend the game, and we are still speculating about the SK thing, but keeping a vig away for that long just seems.. strange. Like, if the claim is legit, I'm going to definitely be curious as to how taste came to that decision. I know I'd much, much rather have an earlier vig than a late vig, but I also would never use a vig that late in the game so it is not a role intended for me if legit, clearly.

I guess it's not impossible, but it would seem odd.

I know I've played in a couple 13 player games (iirc) run by Asiina that only had a 2 person scum team (a ninja and a godfather) who could BOTH kill at night. I think the rest of the setup was just standard doc/cop/tracker with a bunch of vanilla, possibly one other role.

So maybe something like that got toyed with and given a few extra players? Add in a survivor and player with a vig and it would probably come out right.

Although iirc that setup resulted in a game that would only last 3 or 4 days if all the kills went through and I'm not feeling like we're quite in danger of being outnumbered by scum.

The Ninth Layer

There's no evidence for anything like that though, and we'd probably do more harm than good trying to play around that assumption.

For all we know there are 5 scum that only got three kills total this game and today is actually lylo. But it's not likely and if that's the case it's not like we could really play according to that.

No I agree. I'm not planning to play with that assumption.

Right now I'm thinking it's some kind standard setup for a 16 player game which would be 3 scum, 1 3P, and 12 town. Possibly 2 3P and 11 town, but I don't think that's a concern at the moment.

I just didn't like the way he kept hard pushing to get Added lynched so early in the day. He made it seem like it was the only available lynch and it was purely based on a second hand scum claim. Yeah, the stuff that was posted by both AS and Inf weren't great, but it's not like a smoking gun either.

And either way, just trying to shut down discussion by only focusing on one player is a scummy thing to do. I've been a cop with a scum result and I still advocate to take plenty of time to talk about other things. Obviously with a scum result you don't have to wait until the deadline, but with a somewhat suspect case like the one against AS it was just dumb to get the lynch done a full day before the deadline.

Scum want town to make rushed decisions and that's exactly what D2 felt like and Sandwolf was the one leading that push to get it done fast imo.

Like this to me is just offensive:

Sandwolf posted:

Yeah hundred percent my dude, but I don't see how any discussion is gonna take place other than hemming and hawing on this Added Space thing followed by limp bandwagon that sees him lynched at the end of the day. I don't see how we lynch anyone else today (except Infinitum who I want to talk about tomorrow) so let's just get this over with.

Because I just don't see it as true.

People could have taken harder stands, people could have tried to move the lynch. And yeah, maybe it would just ended with a limp bandwagon on AS, but that would have given town information too.

And it's even more wrong since the whole claim came from Inf in the first place and let's face it, he's not exactly the most trustworthy person.

So even with the stuff they both posted (which imo was wrong from both of them), it was not a smoking gun and it would have been way better to let the entire day play out instead of forcing the lynch to be done early. Even if AS had ultimately been the lynch anyway.

The Ninth Layer
Jun 20, 2007

I'm sorry but no you're wrong, Sandwolf was right, there's no way the town could have or should have left alive the guy who pretended to have scumbuddies, if we had left him alive we would literally be debating whether he was actually scum or not until the day the game ended.

But that's the whole issue. He didn't actually claim scum.

Sure, you can make the case that it was implied, but given what happened it clearly turned out to be just AS making a joke.

That presumption is what kills town and that is what drives me nuts. And yes, I know I'm guilty of it myself at times and basically every time I do it, it bites me in the rear end.
