One day I will proofread my posts well, but today is not that day.
I should be in bed.

You ever just have something nagging at the back of your brain all day?

Something didn't sit right with me about Hal's claim. It felt too familiar. So I went back thru some of Hal's old games that we were both in. (Side note: Hal you play too many games. Sheesh.)

Folx, this is Hal's role from Thanksgiving Mafia

Hal Incandenza, TOWN-Aligned bringer of Frozen Peas

quote:

Frozen Peas that could get added to dishes I guess
There are a lot of dishes that could have frozen peas added to them, but very few are actually improved by this addition.
Before the game begins, a specific number of players will secretly be designated Reasonably Suitable for Frozen Peas. This will be determined randomly, not based on what dishes they’re bringing. They will not be told they are Reasonably Suitable for Frozen Peas.

##Is <Player> Reasonably Suitable for Frozen Peas?: As a Night Action, you may choose another player and Ask if they are Reasonably Suitable for Frozen Peas.

If the player you name is in fact Reasonably Suitable for Frozen Peas, you will form an unconfirmed masonry with them.

##Activate Peas: If you have formed a Pea Masonry, as a private night action, you may choose to kill your masonry partner. This cannot be done the same night the masonry is formed.

If you currently have a Pea Masonry, you may not use your Ask action.

In that game Hal could form unconfirmed masonries, and then kill his partners. The pea thing was just something to limit his choices, unlike this game where he could apparently mason anyone.

I do not believe in coincidences like this. Hal gets the same role in two different games? Masonizers that can kill is not common, which is what pinged me in the first place.

Hal is lying about his power and I can only think it was to hide his ability to kill from the gunsmith.

I'm also highly suspicious of TMor, who should have remembered that Hal role as well, considered TMor is the one Hal killed in that game.

Nope. If you think for a minute that I remember any specific old role that wasn't some extraordinary role or a fake claim I made then you give me too much credit.

Also I've been in so many games that unless it's a super complex role I've probably had it before.

Did I live long in that game? I am almost certain I never used that actual power.

Anyway, it's exhausting dealing with yet another thing in this game, so do what you are going to do. Seems like you should have another day but you'll have to go 3 for 3 going forward so it will be tough.

Fwiw I have never fake claimed a role I previously had in... 700+ games, and I sure didn't do that here. Feels kinda cheap and making up fake claims is the whole fun of fake claims.

I'm going to go enjoy my vacation now, scum I'm sure this is just amazing for you and I look forward to reading the scumchat later.

I played Modern Art, Finding Planet X and some terrible game called Photosynthesis. It was fun

So to be clear, you think FoS should and will be voted out today. But you aren't going to offer a defense of yourself, or even much of a case for FoS. You aren't going to give other scum reads, because that would somehow be helpful to scum.

Like, I get why you would be voting for Fool in this situation, but you seem very apathetic to playing the rest of the game. Just telling us we will all figure it out after Fool flips isn't really helpful to the rest of us.

Yes? That's why I voted for Hal.

I think Hal is lying about his role, and I gave my evidence for that. I think he is scum because of lying about his role at this point in the game.

I also didn't like Hal's series of posts overnight about this issue, I don't think I've seen Hal make a series of posts all by himself like that before. Felt like scrambling to come up with an explanation.

I think that's weird then. We have guaranteed maf between FoS/Keats and presumably only one more misvote available. Voting outside of those two is a recipe for fumbling this game as town right now imo.

My preference over all is for Keats today.

In the event that FoS is town, he could at least provide us a tracker result tomorrow. Keats as town provides nothing tomorrow. Also, like Keats says today and I said previously, his flip would provide more information to solving N2 kill (Hal/ninja/poisoner).

So?

I already said that I think Keats is the worse of the pair, and I'll vote there to secure an elimination later if needed. But I'm finding Hal more suspicious right now and I'd be happy with voting him as well.

Even knowing there is a scum in the Keats/FoS pair shouldn't limit us to only thinking about them. There is at least one scum, probably two outside that pair left to find.

Tbh I think I've cooled on Hal overnight. After my review last night I'm very convinced that we're looking at a keat/yuming team and I'm not sure that Hal fits into that compared to TMor. TMor being unable to LR killing actions feels like a very pro-scum role; an LR that can't protect is really just a "gently caress with investigative powers" role.

I use a vote as a capstone or punctuation on an argument.

Right now I feel more certain Hal is scum than either of Keats or FoS. I know there is a scum in that pairing, but I have more confidence in my Hal case than I do on any case for either of the other two.

As you said, a misyeet today would be bad for us, and I think voting out Hal is the more sure thing.

I have said I think Hal is caught and given suspicions on others too like Nutsack. I do not see a reason to push those today even to leave thoughts on the record in the event I die? I definitely don't think I'll be nightkilled but even so, I want FoS to die today, so I don't want people switching to my other scumreads.

Again, we have three real loving weird rear end claims running around:

---Keats: "crazy mod might say I can kill", sounds like bodyguard but rejects categorization as a bodyguard, no claimed night action since N1, "doesn't want to disclose how their action recharges", no evidence whatsoever that their claimed action exists or does anything.

---Yuming: does have a confirmed non-lethal action BUT miller claim (specifically claims to have asked the mod and been told that she investigates as scum) in a game with no apparently alignment investigation, no evidence that the action actually gives those visited an item/passive effect. no solid indication that any of these items have done anything.

---TMor: confirmed LR ability on an investigative role N2 but later claims that their LR can't affect kills, which makes it functionally just negative utility as a town role.

Because he has irony poisoned his own behavior, this is how he plays anytime he gets any heat. He just muddies the waters to the nth degree, feigns some emotional poo poo, and then everyone feels bad. It’s fully disconnected from actual persuasive argument. But then he flips town.
