Ok, so you agree with me that we shouldn't lunch Clo today?

Also what are your thoughts on Hal's claim?

Claimed action cop, right? I'm trying to figure out if Hal is brazen enough to fakeclaim action cop in a game where hal was scum and also you and HCT won with that claim (yes I'm still sore about that shush).

I don't know if I feel confident voting out a detective role though, even a claimed one. If Hal lives he's painted a huge target on his back and has to fabricate results. The fact that Anarc didn't do anything kind of corraborates it but, idk, need more info.

I don't think it's that helpful, but I targeted salad.

So just to make sure I have this right:

Clo targets salad > somehow Illu gets the message that Clo visited them
salad visits Maer > Maer gets told salad visited them

:thunk:

I'm trying to figure out what to make of this but the fact that somehow both loud actions have salad in them make me HRM.

I don't know, I'd still vote Wind but when Hal was close to lunch and those votes dropped off and people turned to Clo instead, it looks really shady, same as what happened with me/Keane/AN Day 1. AN also saved himself with a last minute unverified claim that he refuses to discuss further, which does not look at all suspicious.

i just don't think scum hal would knowingly claim action cop knowing that there's a bunch of song mafia 2 peeps here in the thread who would immediately call him out on it given HCT's claim, that seems like it's almost tempting fate

Anyways I'd say this clears multiple players but I assume the Beast had no idea who the infiltrators were so back to square one!

Yeah, I'm assuming there's a split scumteam at this point. The Infiltrators + Beast (with maybe one other alien who has breached containment who's a threat). Windward's flip doesn't make any sense otherwise.

Salad very early claimed noticer or something, which lets them know if someone did something or had something done to them. Which is awfully vague.

Did anyone follow up with a claim to target Mae.?

Yeah sure why not.

I'm a Xenobiologist, aka a Flavor Cop. I investigate someone and my bioscanner tells me if they're human or not.

Unless literally anyone else visited Maer N1. Again, my role doesn't tell me how many people visited someone, just that a visit happened

I imagine someone would have counterclaimed a visit at this point if so but obviously people are free to say as much if they also visited Mae N1. Elsewise you, me, and Mae basically clear each other based on how night action resolves.

I believe Plastic because my role explicitly states that just because someone isn't human doesn't mean they aren't part of the crew, and I imagine getting a "not human" result on the crew doc would be a very lmao-worthy false positive to include on a flavor cop.

alright so the way i see it it's gotta be bif or toal (and, for everyone else, possibly me)

if it isn't then someone else like monathin is doing something real big brained

but occam's razor has got me laser focused on those two

i can promise you my brain is extraordinarily small

I want to point out just for the sake of doing so that Illusionis' day masonry does not necessarily mean they don't have a night action, and I have in fact been bamboozled by scum masonries before. So unless someone wants to claim Illusionis is hard cleared by an unconfirmed masonry I don't want to assume they're clear.

Can you remind me why maer is cleared?

Mae claimed Human Redshirt on D1, so I investigated her, and got a human result.

There could be redirection, it's not ironclad, but I think it's significant enough to warrant not examining further until later.

shwinnebego posted:

i'm mostly assuming that the Beast wouldn't have any masonry power on flavor grounds

i know, i know, flavor arguments can be madness, but i think in this case given how the flavor has related to the roles/mechanics so far, it's solid

tbh i don't consider that cleared but I can understand why you think you would, just to counterargue - Cloaca's and Wind's flip suggests being able to scramble someone with pheromones. Keane's flip was a telepathic frog. Being able to 'mind link' with someone while hunting prey does not seem that at-odds to the Beasts' nature, too me.

Also I wanna know who is in the masonry today, speaking of. I have a theory but I don't know how ironclad that theory is.

I was going to post my big theory and hit preview before I posted, but for the record my thought was the Beast would have a way to communicate explicitly with the non-human members of the crew - we have a number of 3P who were "other specimens" that were released, and a Beast being able to coordinate them via masonry would blunt the impact of a split scumteam where one is effectively an aligned SK.

other paranoid thoughts with Mona: if the Infiltrators got a factional kill back when the Beast was dealt with it stands to reasaon the Beast might get something if both the infiltrators are dead. Jugg kill maybe??? I don't know, this is a blatant setup spec post but I don't want to leave any thoughts on the table.

Would also explain the Hal kill if so -maybe the Beast thought Hal was scum and intentionally decided to kill him.

Even with Cloaca's 3P pheromonal confusion, unless the Beast jugg'd him his death implies that Windward didn't use her protection on her and her partner, which is loving insane

Hmm. I wonder.

quote:

Should the Beast nevertheless attempt to kill you or your partner, you will automatically expend your remaining stock of pheromones to redirect the Beast to a random other player. If this happens, you lose the ability to use them to signal the Beast for the rest of the game.

Was Windward the first NK target and binus just got unlucky with a redirect? I think that would be the only explanation for not marking Hal as inedible on the way out.

Kind of more convinced now.

Monathin
Sep 1, 2011

Actually no, my theory makes most sense if Hal was the N1 kill target.

The Beast would know they got redirected but not know why. Windward's flip means they would immediately know Hal was Wind's partner and chomp down.

Yeah ok, I'm working thru it.

This would be funny and also the result of terrible luck for the scum team, so it's probably what happened.

That makes me wonder: would Beast Bif try to nk Hal N1 after casing him all day?

...Probably?

I mean thinking on it it would make a lot of sense that the Beast was helping scumhunt if not having the Infiltrators alive empowers it. Which, bear in mind: No evidence of that, but still.

Also extremely lol if the sequence really is:
- Beast targets Hal N1, gets redirected so knows they hit their 'scumteam'
- binus died due to unlucky redirect
- Windward's pheromones are spent on that redirect, so Windward can't spend them before getting executed to protect Hal
- Hal dies the next night because Windward's flip confirms them to the Beast as the other scum

Truly a comedy of errors here
