We seem to be in agreement, so presumably you see why I think there’s great value in fullclaiming?

If you’ve got a result that you’d want his clearance to post, I’d expect you’re indeed a role cop?

Wouldn’t you agree that’s usually a scum role?

Which would explain why he didn’t claim yesterday when he was at -1. Rolecop isn’t exclusively a scum role. Just usually weighted in that direction.

Are somber’s checks clearing? Can I get in on Defend Others Mafia?

You might acknowledge that scum engage in what seems like strange behavior because they have the full scope of the board whereas we don’t, correct? You’ve seen WIFOM before?

Idle Amalgam posted:

vanilla has no precedent on alignment, and a rolecop role also isn't inherently scum or town. I believe somber is scum outside of the claim for reasons previously stated. The joking claims and joking suspicion are, as I said in similar terms, being used by somber as a safety cushion. Things he can point back to seriously that could have gone either way in joke phase.

Does anyone else agree with this to the extreme level I do?

I could have easily lied to avoid suspicion.

You're in a position where you have to agree with that, don't you think?

I do think it's funny that me joking around as steak aroused so much suspicion, while taste has been faking a pr for three days straight

I’m in a position where I have to agree with someone who feels the same way I do? Surely that’s a strange phrasing just to say “you feel the same way” in an accusatory tone?

If that’s a soft claim in response to my second question, would you consider making it a hard claim?

If you’d agree, I think the existence of vanilla scum is a near certainty here?

Though why would one believe somber as town rolecop finding vanilla scum?

Can you ask me after somber’s flip, given that I think it’s quite relevant?

so I've been a bit lost but here's where I'm at.

Both nightkills were people who were very suspicious of Somber. This suggests that scum is either protecting Somber, or trying to implicate Somber.

Yesterday's vote could not hammer Somber. This suggests either scum didn't want to hammer one of their own, or didn't have spare votes around because they were already on Somber.

So imo either Somber is scum or scum is gunning for Somber

but somber is a claimed town power role with no counterclaim, and the general lack of power role claims makes me inclined to believe it's legit

so if somber is actually our tracker, scum is gunning for somber

taste is probably scum, but a better candidate for tomorrow than today imo, too obvious.

still more interested in the Plastic case.

need to do some re-read when I get a chance at work

Somber is actually a claimed alignment-neutral at best power role, as it’s unlikely town generally has rolecops to counter, wouldn’t you agree?

He's the only power role we have, at least publically so to willfully launch him into the sun tonight seems like a horrible idea unless there's hard evidence that he's lying about his result on voodoo. I think with Gacha's death he's the only investigatory role we have?

Why are you treating him as confirmed town? “We have” etc?

Imagine I claimed cop here, and that I had a result on somber, would you value that as gospel?

Sep 6, 2010

I gather that and assume it’s a limitation of my questioning that hindered my clarity, but I’d put it to you differently as your acceptance seems further along than I’d argue his claim merits, you see?

And if I said it was a one-shot, balanced with a protective one shot?

Lol dumb this down for me a bit please...do I have outside this thread knowledge? 1000% no. Is he lying, perhaps? We could give him a night to prove it and focus on one of the other three scum.

I follow this logic, I suppose, but I would suggest that perhaps if somber’s my strongest read it’s the best way forward for me (and ofc anyone else in that position), right? That is to say, shouldn’t scum reads outweigh potential role value from scummy players?

I think we’d agree that voodoo’s lack of dispute can be treated as confirmation, regardless of either’s alignment (somber scum, voodoo maybe)?

Alright, so I might as well come out with it at this point, as it's something I hoped to avoid having to out.

I also have a modular power role.

My choices were 1x Busdriver 2x Neapolitan Cop. Me, being a complete dumbass, figured that a full bus driver would be far more beneficial to have around so I could play a poor man's bodyguard and try to get myself killed instead of someone I thought was town. Unfortunately, as I realized right before I used it, I can't actually read. it's a one shot, so I've been holding onto it.

Why would it be better for you, a confirmed town player, to die instead of someone you *thought* was town?

Maerlyn posted:

You also suggested Ref, wouldn't that be considered a lurker lunch? (I can't tell if you're for or against a vote on Hal here).

What distinguishes Ref from Hal for me is that I think ref is proactively scummy in his spotty posting whereas Hal is scummy passively for it, if that’s clear?

Oh, no, my lylo prediction is dependent on a mislynch today and successful kill tonight, if you follow? In that sense, you might appreciate why I think a lurker lynch is questionable given more compelling candidates?
