As far as i can tell it's 'post lots about your views on everyone so that when you get killed town can go back through your posts and analyze everything and decide who killed you'

This is actually a pretty good basis to work with. At worst it's a good way to play as town because as town you have nothing to hide.

You're doin' good work, soldiers.

The other theory for the reeling is that it serves as public watching and tracking of the 4 players. Anyone they visit or visits them will reek by contact.

This is what I've been assuming this is going to do, myself.

Toalpaz posted:

Are you talking to me? Okay well, here's my example.

This whole list doesn't have anything real to do with scum motivations. If anything, scum were probably would be cautious about hoping on an event that had a nebulous benefit to them. As I said before, the motivation for people hopping on probably was primarily that it sounds special and fun to train a dog. That motivation isn't scum or town, and scum are naturally cautious so they are actually disincentivized to participate in this kind of thing.

However, as scum, making this kind of list that at first glance appears like detective work but doesn't contribute any meaningful reads of player actions beyond 'scum must have hopped on'. Therefor, Moatillata, 'appears' to be scum hunting but is in reality picking low hanging fruit with little to no chance of catching scum based on flawed logic. This play makes sense because Moatillata cares more about appearing town, then catching scum. So it makes them look scummy.

Thanks for elaborating! That's actually a pretty solid case against Moat, imo.

if you shower off the pee you're scum because I bet it does in fact work similar to what we're thinking.

Dog people, I have a question. Did anyone actually get the ability to take a shower or is it just permanant piss.

I haven't tried anything yet but I have a feeling it's beneficial for us to have it for the time being. I haven't tried to ##shower either.

My thought is smelling of piss means it could have been used by town for information. Showering early felt more suspect, imho.

Toalpaz posted:

Didn't we decide it would be good to keep piss on in case it was loud or something else?

Also the fact that I (and I'm assuming others) got no info it's almost certainly an Ecco cop and there's a scum in one of the four of us.

Yeah, if no one got any info from us smelling like piss I'm going to assume one of the four of us is scum.

Amoeba102 posted:

If anyone wants to treat it as an ecco cop go ahead. But make a case that doesn't rely on piss.

Well, here's this, then.

I visited someone last night. Considering the person I visited is currently posting, and did not get a message about smelling like piss, we know it wasn't turning our actions loud.

Ergo, we can treat it as an Ecco cop, because mechanics should have some basis in reality (which is why I'm going to keep Anidav in the back of my mind for downplaying it).

If people are going to case, they should limit the discussion to me, Toal, Caroline, and AA. Us four should be considered the primary suspects for today.

I'll go do some reading here in a bit, but there's your start.

Moatillata posted:

I really don't get how it could be an eccocop

That's where the cop picks a group of players and gets a result if Any of them are scum, right?

Who is getting the cop info in our scenario???

D-pup literally marked us as enemies.

With his pee.

Fluff wise as xiw has mentioned, in game D-dog pisses on enemies.

An ecco cop takes a group of players and gives a scum or not-scum result on the group, depending on if there's a scum in it.

D-dog pissed on a group of players.

This being a flavourful fun game, it seems to be indicating a scum was involved trying to train d-dog.

jesus christ thank you toal

I mean this is honestly the proper time for me to claim anyway since I should claim early with a role like this, which is why I feel fine outting that information.

I'm a town-aligned redirector. During the night, I can swap places with someone. Any actions that would have targetted me target them, any actions that target them target me.

I used it on Moat last night.

I mean that's a fair cop, my D1 was pretty laughably nonexistent. But I wouldn't be pushing the Ecco cop thing so hard if it was going to glaringly out myself as scum.

The way Toalpaz speculated about the piss doesn't feel like they had prior knowledge of a loved/hated role, to me. I think I see what you're fishing for, AA, but you're using the wrong bait.

No I'm just town bus driver. I hear it's common to claim d2 for them, because their role isn't really a power role and it can actually gently caress with town.
