Not necessarily. Some jailers will cause all actions to fail on the target, some will only cause kills to fail.

We're at the point where even if steak is town, he's caused too much confusion and killing him will give us more info than keeping him alive will. It's why you have to be careful lying as town and be, like, good at it.
Though he's probably not town anyways, too many moving parts for this one.

Steak I just want to point out one thing you said earlier, your gambit did not benefit the town. IF you're telling the whole truth at this point, you blocked those kills IN SPITE OF your lies not because of them, because as Lumpen pointed out its absolutely absurd that scum tried to kill 2 different people who were being watched. If you're town here you just happened to be up against some very stupid people, that's all

My action also failed so someone definitely did something. If it wasn't Sal I assume we have a lightning rod

If there was a lightning rod that would likely make everyone except Sal fail. If there were another RB we should have seen it come up by now.
Doesn't say anything about Sal's alignment but it's the most likely explanation

Because that means you apparently had the only successful action last night. Either you’re lying or there’s a second lighting rod

More specifically if you didn’t get results at all then it could be ambiguous, but with an explicit successful result that leaves 3 possibilities
1) you did a mass jail and lied
2) there are 2 lightning rod roles in this game which makes the mod part of my brain sweaty
3) some third option that I can’t fathom but maybe lumpen will condescend to me about later

I can see voting Sal, RF, or B-

B- was the initial 2 penny vote and I can see that as scum not being able to back away from it cleanly and leaving it there.

Sal was the final vote without much of a justification. I think it was a scum distancing.

RF, didn't vote for Penny and did not for the other town nk.

I'm not sure I can make a case on anyone else.

Sorry, your case here on me is that I didn't vote town? And you say that right after casing the other two for doing that?

We almost certainly have an SK or second scum team going by the 3 kills (1 Mafia, 1 vig, 1 unaccounted for) so Not Town =! Mafia. I don't feel Leith is town after today, but that doesn't mean they were on a team with 2 Penny.

charms posted:

The best reason I can think of for scum doing the mass roleblock is if they wanted to stop the last CPig vig from happening. It goes with either theory about what happened to vig - either they got the first but not the second, or they just learned about it with the CPig flip and wanted to shut it down. Because of Sal's claimed ability, that puts them in the spotlight. If Sal's scum and gets lynched, it'd ruin the entire point of that move to stop an ally from being killed and would actually leave the secret alliance in a worse position than if they didn't do the omni block. So a Sal lynch is not an option for me today.

Lumpen posted:

That's a good point and gives Sal a motive for popping the MegaJail. If the Vig was in the wild and they feared it was going to hit one of them, the MegaJail would protect them from that Vig and also wipe out any other Town power roles that might catch them, and give them a chance to push for a mis-vote today. That might be worth forsaking their own NK.

Except again, we know we had 3 kill attempts N2. So how do you guys reconcile that with this track? Scum would have to know the vig was still out, but not have it themselves. How does any of that work with Pig dead and 2 kill attempts according to flipped town Steak?

I don't buy it, and yeah, their posts are awfully lacking.

We had a survivor flip, that's not the same thing at all. And unless Steak lied again (and if he did so help me god steak) then we had 3 kills in one night. No matter how you slice we more likely than not have an SK

Leith Maclaine posted:

Mass Jail prevents scum from killing a town player. We are probably getting close to the end and locking everything down one night delays that which right now with only 1 scum kill is in the towns interest.

Without the mass jail, we would definitely be down another town than we are now.

Except that we'd also immediately have all voted Sal today so they'd be trading that kill for him. Not to mention that the mass jail also stops whatever investigative roles we have left so town comes into the day with less info.

Leith Maclaine posted:

All of this giving scum a road map talk is just an excuse to hide information.

Mass claims also give the scum information and is very useful in outing them also.

Scum already know more than town does so giving both sides information at least puts town on a more equal footing if not making the puzzle solvable.

Except that I did give the information out. Pray tell, how was any of this useful to town? What useful thing did we learn?
