I think one of them is scum, but I don't think they're scum together since Mags could have very easily just stayed afk rather than pop in to vote his scumbuddy.

We don't, that's whats so weird about this. B- appears to be saying, when he saw Probst voting him, he just assumed Probst must have had some data on him like tracking or watching, that made him go "hmm that B- is up to no good and that is why I will vote him now"

We don't.

b- is assuming Probst saw him visit aC and that gives him a reason to vote him. I don't know why he wouldn't assume that Probst is a rolecop, and that's why he's voting him, since that'd be more realistic for someone who is a town roleblocker getting voted for what he assumes are night action reasons.

I agree with that assumption of guilt point that Asiina made, like why is it so worrisome to get caught doing any action on anybody who's not dead? B- could've even been a doctor or something

Jailer is more common than roleblocker for town, but it's not some super uncommon thing. Which is why Mags, who has played more than enough games to know this, shouldn't be voting for such a terrible reason.

I'm stuck, I want to vote them both, but again I don't necessarily think they're scum together. I was about to say that I talked myself into voting b-minus, but I thought about Mags bad vote again and I don't want to move.

My kingdom for a gun.

Asiina posted:

If you targeted aC and Probst saw you, why would he vote for you? Someone visits another person who doesn't die. How is that vote worthy? You didn't kill her, so you could have been doing anything. That assumption of guilt feels like scum paranoia to me.

You're right about the paranoid part, wrong about the scum. I have only played a handful of games as a non-vanilla townie. I’ve never been a town role blocker.


My first thought going into day 2 was that I blocked the doctor. It’s why my first post of the day mentioned the doctor, and questioned why Hal wasn’t protected. AC posted reasons why the protection of Hal wasn’t successful.

b-minus1 posted:

Well, if we have a doc, they clearly didn’t do their job n1. Cool

AC posted reasons why the protection of Hal wasn’t successful.

apostateCourier posted:

Amen to that one. Or there's no doc, or the doc was blocked, or scumteam has a role that bypasses protection, or or or or or. Too little info to go on as far as that's concerned.
So yeah, I thought for sure that I chose wrong and role blocked a protective role. Later, SC64 made an ambiguous post where he voted for me and was going to return to explain later. Then I had a few votes for me early on day 2. So yeah, I was feeling pretty drat paranoid that I hosed up my night action, and that SC64 was a watcher/tracker and was going to reveal his role due to his suspicion of me.

B- I think the part that really made you look dodgy before was that "at most one or two people should be suspicious of me" remark. Cause like, anyone can be suspicious of anyone at any time in Mafia, for all kinds of reasons, they don't need a night action before it makes sense for someone to suspect you. That really came across like "scum mad about being found for what they see as wrong reasons"

Pretty happy with the timeline of reactions you put forward here now though, it seems way more understandable

yeah i can see why. i almsot didn't include that part in my post. but i did because i sincerely thought that sc64 was going to out himself to make a case against me. if he did watch AC/track me to AC, I wanted to assure him that my intentions were not malicious. I actually thought he got the message when his case against me never materialized, and he posted this:

Yeah that was still kinda weird, but every other post suddenly makes more sense and seems more genuine looking back if he was thinking "oh gently caress did I gently caress up the doctor"

I find it hard to believe becuase it doesn't have a rider like hatecop. Town roleblocker is all well and good, but a standard role in a game with nonstandard roles is odd.

I'm keeping on b-1 for now, becuase I believe he is scum, his post hoc justification feels like it was just that, made up after the fact. But that being said, Mags is lovely as hell since he replaced in and I would not hesitate to drop a vote there if the b minus one train dries up, I'll just have to restart it tomorrow.

it's fair enough to still see B- as scum cause that "wait let me type up a word doc" was still weird and he could've taken the time to just get a good enough explantion or something, but... this is a big assumption to make. Or is it normal for Eccogames to just never have a standard role without some twist to it?

Even if that were the case though, this isn't even an Eccogame, it's a Max game that paid a bit of tribute to Eccogames in the first chapter as a cool twist. This seems like a bit of a forced justification.

You're right, hard to believe is a stretch, but to me at least, it feels like another weak point against it, in a long line of stuff.
Town roleblocker - believable but scum is more likely
Standard role in game with nonstandard roles - believable, but it feels like the it is less likely than playing it straight
His reactions - scummy as gently caress.

Calling it a forced reaction is overstepping a bit here, if it were my only point, sure, but it is a single bullet in a litany of points.

would you mind explaining why you have read me as scum since the beginning of the game? you've tunneled me from the start. excluding d1 jokephase, every post, including my early d2 softclaim, and the subsequent explanation for doing it, was made with the utmost sincerity. ive tried to respond to every accusation leveled towards me. i really did not think my role breadcrumb would end up backfiring so badly. is it really that hard to believe that I felt somewhat responsible for Hal's death by blocking a doctor night action?
