Sandwolf, IA has a role claim with zero utility, and after three days of this game all we have from him is "...Uh Toal is town, but I only really believe it because he's following my lead, and I dunno, my counter claimer is scum?". He's consistently refused to actually vote his scum reads and is constantly just going "oh woe is me" rather than actually making cases. His flip tells us way more than anyone else, IMO. It'll tell us a lot about Toal, RF, and Maerlyn if he flips. Plus, if he does flip town (he won't), we lose basically nothing of value and still get a hard clear on Toalpaz.

can you point me to an instance of IA not voting his scum picks? the most compelling point here is that IA's flip gives information

Also if we somehow can't agree on an IA lunch I'm down to just slam Toalpaz out of the game at this point because they are not even pretending like they have an interest in scum hunting.

Can't say I agree with your assessment. Toal is demonstrably town to me. Frustrating of course, but that's part of why I think they're town. They demonstrate a genuine concern for today's outcome in fretting over edge cases instead of sticking with a consistent platform. Maybe I'm dense but it just reads so real to me.

Sandy can you try actually reading people's posts I literally went through this last page but sure let's do it again.

So for context, these are IA's last two posts of day 1. He is at -2 at this point and is currently set at voting no one. Toal is the next highest vote count at -5, and has pretty consistently been saying Toal is scum. (Solus is at -6 at this point with Voodoo stepping in.)

Idle Amalgam posted:

I feel like a lot of people are just phoning in votes here, but I also feel like there isn't much I could reasonably do here to prove innocence. I don't even have any good reads of anyone.

I suppose this strikes me as odd:

I don't see why having nothing but town reads in a fairly quiet day 1 is out of the ordinary. This indicates that you yourself had a strong read of someone prior to voting toal, and I don't think there's much in your post history to actually support that position.

Toal's survival vote also looks bad imo since they weren't ever really in danger?:

So now I feel like I'm being set up, and scum has to be on my vote.

This post is somehow enough for Toal to change votes to Solus. IA then makes his last post (within a minute of Toal's post so probably made at the same time?) where he continues to insist that Toal is scum. Maybe with me, maybe not.

Idle Amalgam posted:

I feel like plastic might be scum, or toal and plastic are scum and that whole "do my bit to survive" is an overblown reason for voting me when they themselves aren't in danger.

OR plastic is sincere, and toal is bad faith voting me under suspicion of their play.

In any case, I'm not scum, I am erthrocyte red blood cell, I transport oxygen around the body and can see what actions, if any, were performed on a player, but not who performed them.

...And still refuses to vote their top scum read while they are inches away from death. It's pretty clear that he doesn't actually want a Toal flip at this point despite Toal being his only solid scum read at this point. I can give more examples from day 2 and day 3 if you want.

I think that's just because Toal perceives some kind of overlap between their two roles (watcher/rolecoppy watcher?)

It's not much because IA is mostly absent day 2. But the vote comes in for Maerlyn right off the bat which is odd because IA was saying Maerlyn seemed town day 1. There's zero justification for it afterwards just "yeah Maer's a good vote." And once again IA shows up at the end of the day.

Regarded like a wild dog, shambling out from the alley with a crazy look in its eye.

About to begin my colonizer's day dinner. Still think Mae could be scum, but not liking the recent spate of voodoo posts.

More woe is me posting, but there it is. "Don't like voodoo's posts ,but refuse to vote him." Once again that's the actual last thing IA says while not voting for his one scum read that is an actual viable lunch at that point.

I don't buy that a ~voyeur~ in this situation reflexively votes the watcher.

If I were a town voyeur in this situation, I would have to assume the watcher is town. There's a flipped ninja for Christ's sake.

The reason for Maerlyn not ~counter-claiming~ should be immediately apparent and her thought process on the subject is clearly laid out in the thread. There is obvious utility in Maerlyn not claiming, I probably wouldn't have either. Scum have no defense against being caught out by a watcher.

It's also barely a counter claim and I would have been willing to more seriously consider their coexistence despite the marginal value of a voyeur if not for IA's blatant desire to be rid of a threat to the scum team.

New round of broad spectrum antibiotics appears to have reduced several severe symptoms including diarrhoea and fever. Patient still not in condition to leave ICU however and will need further observation.

Idle Amalgam, Salmonella (Bacteria-aligned Roleblocker) has been lysed Day 3.

quote:

Salmonella (Bacteria-aligned Roleblocker).

You are a genus of gram-negative bacteria responsible for a large number of gastrointestinal diseases including deadly typhoid fever. Damaging bacterial toxins are responsible for the majority of disease symptoms. Once per night you may choose a player to roleblock, preventing them from performing any night actions. Your preferred target cells are Gut Epithelial Cells and as such personally night killing the player with this flavour will grant you a boon.

You win when Bacteria control the vote..

I think town has the numbers advantage even with my misslunch so it's whatever.

N1 I visited toal and saw that they were blocked and that I visited
N2 I visited merk and saw nothing other than my visit

Not much use other than it confirms that there's a roleblocker in the game. At this point, if it was a town roleblocker it would be more advantageous for all of us if they just claimed, but given that it hasn't happened yet, or if this didn't spur them to claim, scum have a roleblocker and that mean's toal is town.

Also, given that there weren't 2 kills on N2, I bet the 3P was roleblocked by scum OR town vig popped off N1, and there is no 3P.

In any case, that's the extent of my evidence and theorycrafting.

Maerlyn, I'm having a hard time seeing the case on toal. I don't say that to be dismissive, I'm letting you know I don't understand the argument. I don't see the IA interactions with Toal as open scrum collusion if that's the case? I think IA would rather barter for Town credit be engaging with a town player and offering up info. Also toal was on IA for a while despite going bonkers yesterday. IA *was* a roleblocker so I think he just shared his actual target.

I can't accept taking RF to lylo. Yesterday was so bad and he could never explain his thought process re: IA. Sometimes it's that easy.
