I'm not a jailer, I just thought the certainty of this post was presumptuous.

So quick note, either there's also a scum roleblocker or a 3p Amnesiac picked up AA's role.

I say this, because, naturally, I got roleblocked.

There are other reasons an action can fail/be blocked than the two listed.

Target hiding also an option.

So Asiina when are you going to claim jailer and hope everybody goes "oooo power role", ignoring that we had a town roleblocker?

Where did jailer even come from? Mona didn't say he was jailed, he said he was roleblocked. I'm pretty sure there's a difference (ex you were role blocked vs your action failed because you were jailed, or something like that)

Not always.

A lot of the time it's just "your action failed."

why are people voting Asiina stop voting for her

I think asiina is likely scum for the following reasons:

1. Early game lurking
2. Bc I think Keane is scum and her interactions with Keane are scummy
3. What I already said about her town read on AA

I think Keane is scum for the following reasons:

You mean when the game was in half-jokephase with people throwing down real votes for joke reasons for the majority of D1?

Also you think Keane is scum therefore you're voting me, who is not only voting Keane but is trying to thunderdome him.

And I had a town read on someone who ended up town.

Very good casework, well done.

Trying to make a thunderdome between the two of us?

The old “lets talk negatively about a lynch we know is town without offering any help whatsoever” scum strategy employed obviously here.

merk posted:

This vote had no chance to see a lynch. It wasn’t persuasive at all. This is Asiina setting up for the next day while talking negatively about a lynch she knows is on town.

I take issue with these two posts. The first post because it presents a thing as if it's just obvious to everyone, the second primarily because of the bolded part. Not only was Keane an absolutely possible lynch, but we all know that persuasion matters little in D1 in these games. Goons can get caught up on the most arbitrary of "suspect" factoids or "scumslips" and then start a snowball that just keeps rolling, and merk knows this (or really should know this).

##vote merk for now. This might change as I continue reading.

Wait this seems important. I'm rather troubled by this. On the one hand I don't trust either Keane or merk, but on the other hand it seems pretty courageous for them to be in such lock-step if they're indeed both scum. I'm tempted to unvote, but if we are to lynch either of them for information, I'd obviously rather do merk who hasn't yet claimed a power role. Then again, there's the obvious wifom if merk flips town (or Keane flips scum for that matter).

Here the lock-step breaks... Is it town merk genuinely scum-hunting, or is it scum merk noticing that the two of them are getting too close to each other and bussing his scum-bud?

Either of those indicates a high likelyhood of Keane being scum.

Keane hasn't claimed a power role?

He was joking that he read his PM at night, his PM says town, so he's confirmed town by night actions.

On the one hand :doh: (in my mind the thunderdome was you v merk not you v Keane), on the other hand that makes this easier. Feeling pretty ok with my vote right now... that is, assuming I've read all the other things properly this time around. Gonna go back and double-check just to be sure :v: .

I mean, for the record, I actually agree with merk's argument. Of course I'm still fairly suspect of him, but I can see a world in which all his posts (including that one) are made in good faith, and the record scratch, as you put it, is simply him honestly observing something and changing his mind.

Ha I made the same wrong assumption that she thunderdomed merk too at first.

I'm very torn on merk right now, I thought he was being fairly scummy in his attack on Asiina which seemed very flimsy, but on the other hand his reversal reads pretty town to me. I'm inclined to leave him alone for now though, I can usually pick up on his scum game later on and he's definitely great to have around when he's town and not tunneled.

Keane's gotten a lot more jokey this game than he has been recently which I THINK is more of a town-tell for him but a lot of people are seeing him as scum so maybe I need to wake up more (literally) and look at him harder.

I find it weird that this is how you respond to that post. Why would you feel the need to defend yourself from that "case" and why in such an awkward way?
