Morning, y'all.

I think I caught a cold or something, been feeling very drained all week and entirely demolished my supply of tissues. Also been really busy so I'm not entirely sure why I joined this game in the first place.

Anyway, rereading now, enough whining.

Once again, I do not own territory.

On that subject, I don't expect people to come out with the fact that they own territory, because it makes them a target for looting, and maybe there is some other stuff involved with it (I don't know what that might be). But if I choose to loot you and you own a territory in good standing, I will know (because I will receive the ducat bonus). Also, the chance of Devastation is written as independent of the target owning territory, yet the description of the Devastated effect directly involves the existence of territory that they need to "rebuild" so it sure sounds like every player owns territory. But clearly Josef sucks at writing clear role descriptions

Wait a minute.

Forgive me if I missed something because I've been pretty messed up yesterday, but wasn't Keats literally trying to paint looting as scummy and now he's claiming to be able to loot?

I'm just confused about the lack of even a single person confirming that they interact with ducats. It is possible that Josef intended for my role to suggest many game interactions that don't exist, but it is worth considering that it's *not* a troll role

With the info of him being able to loot in mind this looks like rolefishing.

Johnny Keats posted:

Yes I have a lot of information about it because I have the ability to loot

Now, I just woke up but to me this just reads like Johnny messed up a fakeclaim or something. My own read of that post history was like he was trying to paint other looters (if they exist) as scum, despite having the ability himself, while also trying rolefishing for targets to loot.

This does not seem like a town mindset to me.

Yeah, well, they read as disingenuous to me, especially in the first half.

I don't know about you but I personally don't immediately assume my own action is scummy. Not only did you immediately try to hide it (at first), you also used it as an angle to try and put suspicion on other looters. It's like trying to both have the cake and eat it.

Your posts, in my opinion, heavily imply that you're worried about the optics of your role.

Making posts that could very well trick people into revealing themselves as targets while remaining squeaky clean yourself is just the cherry on top as far as I'm concerned.

I thought maybe Yami and Keats hadn't played together before, but 5 prior games.

RW2 was before this nonsense really started much.
Pinball was silly.
Cultivation Maf #1 was a strange game overall.
Galaxy-Sane was silly.
Opfia...not sure if there was D1 Keats shenanigans.

I guess maybe this is a new thing for Yami to see from Keats, or new enough. Hmm. Null on both.

My own read on Keats is that he has a tendency to be pretty scummy, but usually I can see the logic in his points. I don't remember for sure if he's internally consistent though, it's been a while. Either way, this is why I initially ignored the forming bandwagon on him and looked for other people like tsie.

That said I do legitimately think I'm onto something here. My own memory is Keats is that he just looks/sounds scummy in general, this seems actively two-faced.

As for territory, if I have any, it's not listed in my PM. Historically I suppose I might have, but I can also see why I wouldn't, mechanically speaking.

Why would reveal this? For gods sake, don't hand out info in response to the (imo) obvious rolefishing. This is just not good regardless of Keats' alignment.

If he's scum, you're letting him narrow down his choices.

If he's town, he's telling the truth about there possibly being a scum looter, in which case you're still helping scum.

It's just not a good idea either way and this ham-fisted and very self-serving attempt at getting people to reveal this information (at the likely detriment of town) just tells me my vote's in the right place.

Not voting: hambeet

With 26 alive, it's 14 votes to execute. The current deadline is June 21st, 2024 at 7 p.m. EDT -- that's in about 36 minutes.

Now, I'm lacking some of the in-the-moment context, but I believe it started with Never. I don't really fully understand why Never or RWC got that many votes (besides looter), but Tea Party even less. However, from what I can gathered, the vote stalled on keats with 6 votes for a pretty long time, before rapidly swapping between multiple targets.

I find this suspicious, because stalling votes usually means scum is on the block, and the rapid switching is easily explained as scumbuds trying to get the vote off them.

To start with, I've checked the voters and mona stuck out to me as someone who was on two of the wagons opposing the keats one. I'll make a separate case on mona later but mona basically just doesn't acknowledge anything wrong with keats, which is silly. Mona's posting sounds more like a bad youtuber sponsorship deal than a real person.



zzyxx also kinda looked like they were running defense, but I'm less sure about them than I am mona.

Other than that, lesser suspicions are tsie and sandwolf.

I've already pointed out tsie's odd reaction, but with the way their posting happened EOD, I'm unsure.

I also find sandwolf totally ignoring Keats odd. Not only the posting, but also at the end, he is conveniently going for an opposing wagon.

In addition to this, we have a flipped looter claim, Never claims to have the same role as RWC (in practice) and so do I. So I don't buy this "more important" bullshit, personally.

To me there is just too much wrong here. I don't really buy that keats just got an upgraded version of 3 other townies (assuming the unclaimed one is scum), the way people are interacting with keats factually whack as poo poo claim is sketchy, the way the vote stalled before suddenly a million counter wagons appear is sketchy.

Basically if I were scum I would not invite town to think this much about how my mechanics work especially if other people shared them

People keep saying that but I'm not going to put stock in it. I think Never was right on the money with the "wanted to get town cred by claiming a scummy role" bit.

It would be a logical explanation for why he first went "looting is scummy, guys!" but then was like "actually I'm a looter too!" after Never said "actually I'm a town looter" (iirc, I'm not 100% on the timing).

Y'all are putting too much weight on "Would he do this". I don't remember my previous games well but i vaguely remember Keats as someone who is just always in the center of attention, usually due setup stuff.

Yup.

Unless the mystical 4th looter (who keats might just be lying about, we don't know) claims to have an upgraded version too, Keats' is the only one whose is somehow better, on top of having an additional way of generating ducats.

And if Keats has the same list as RWC and I (and presumably you) do, that means he's the only one who has an alternate way.

I'd buy some sort of 3P merc role who has to earn ducats, but town? Not really.
