IllegallySober is right in that it could trigger trackers/watchers but honestly, if our mod is really hewing close to the theme, I wouldn't be surprised if it does absolutely fuckall. maybe I can be roleblocked?

did you get an "action failed" result?

I find the original claim to be a slight stretch but now re-directors can force actions? Is that a standard because I'm not sure I'm buying any of this, I'm sorry.

Again, it all depends on how the mod would handle it. If a redirector forces the target of an ability to change, and the ability has no target, does it make sense to change the target from [null] to A Target?

I feel like the mod would inform you of a result at all if you didn't submit an action (even in the case of being re-directed) but this is gaming the mod and thus pointless I guess

And yet you directly asked me if I got an action failed message, something that wouldn't make sense to have happened without something causing it. I've played enough mafia to know that if I were faking, I wouldn't step into an obvious trap like that.

I feel like you knew I'd get an action failed message despite not having had submitted an action. Hella sus on you, my dude.

I just finished re-reading the thread from the start. My scum reads are Solus, DB, Humalong, and Toalpaz. And definitely IS for the caught poisoner claim, who I will be voting for today unless something else major happens ##vote IcePhoenix

I'll put together some cases on those five to share my knowledge and make a contribution.

The reason I asked that specific question was because you said you could have been roleblocked... so you implied making an action yet having denied it.

I'll admit, I did make a mistake by assuming you had made an action at all, but claiming to have been given a result despite having not submitted an action is really weird. I doubt re-director forces actions to fire either, so here we are.

Nobody would ask that question and expect an affirmative response unless they knew one was forthcoming.

##vote Dick Bastardly I think your Voltorb claim yesterday was bullshit and you're doing some weird searching to cover for it. Hypothesis: one of your scum-bros gave you the idea to ask me about receiving a PM knowing that they successfully "redirected" me in the night.

also while I'm here ##evolve Epsilon Plus I have no clue what I'll get when evolved but I assume it's something worthwhile

Case on Solus:

The read/defense of GGN seems awkward and weird:

These are all partial quotes, so read the originals for more context:

SolusLunes posted:

I don't really have much of a read on GGN but holy crap you're coming across so hard as scum.

SolusLunes posted:

Okay yeah looking at GGN again I don't see anything particularly scummy.

SolusLunes posted:

I mean it's reasonable? But it's mostly been one way from Toal to GGN. I'd be more inclined to think that if they're both scum, this is just an awful bus attempt from Toal.

SolusLunes posted:

Man, I don't know. Also I very clearly stated that I didn't think GGN was scum, and I don't care if someone picks someone else.
I'll be here until deadline and I'm okay with lynching someone. I don't think voting increases the possibilities of a no-lynch? If it comes down to needing me to hammer GGN, I'll totally do it. I just don't see it happening this day.

This just doesn't feel like a natural town-mindset progression of a read.

Solus barely mentions anyone except Toal and GGN, then just mentions this right after deadline:

SolusLunes posted:

Oh wow I totally missed the last page where we ran a train on DB

My read here is that Solus is purposely providing limited information and few reads. The reads that are provided don't feel natural. Scummy.

At the time I asked that question I was still under the impression that you had submitted an action because you mentioned a possible roleblock in the mix (i quoted the post that prompted this question in the question post itself)

Assuming that you had made an action was not optimal of me, so I expected an answer of "yes, my action failed", however before I even read your "yes, my action failed" response IS had established that you had specifically denied making an action.

If you had claimed to not have made an action and also claimed to not have received a result at all I would have believed, but I can't see any other possibility herer other than you lied. Unless I am grossly missing something obvious?

Case on DB:

His first reads:

I'm feelin Toal for the overall wierdness.

Dancer town probs, imgay probs town

bminus is giving me slight scum vibes for the no-lunch comment

GGN is seeming more like newb town now
...
AA probs town

A bunch of mostly town reads with two really light scum reads. Don't like them.

He never really provides any followup on the Toalpaz read, but then votes then, then unvotes soon after with again no detail:

Dick Bastardly posted:

##vote Toalpaz

i think this is a good lunch

Dick Bastardly posted:

you know what? im an idiot

##unvote

Then he claims bomb with 5 min to spare. All else equal claiming bomb seems more likely a scum move than a town move. I've never had a bomb role but I don't know if I would even claim it as town and just let it play out. I would absolutely claim it as scum though.

Then today he's fixated on the E+ thing, which I do agree is worth some consideration but he never once comments on IP, which seems like a much stronger night-action catch than E+s stuff.

And curiously he votes to evolve Sal:

That seems really suspect... why would you evolve Sal but not vote IP? Seems to me like he doesn't want to vote his scumbo yet. Dick, do you have a comment on this?

Not claiming lunch bomb is bad and wrong, I'm not going to hammer myself when 5 mins is enough time to lunch scum.

For the same reason E+ is defending them self I would say that defense could equally apply to IP

to clarify, we can't rule out that IP's action wasn't messed with, so until IP comes in to have a word then I'll withhold my vote (but I would vote IP in absence of a solid defense)

I do believe Sal's soft claim and see no good reason not to evolve Sal.
