Nazgul is probably top of my scum list, then probably sparkly or maybe shwinn/FoS?

Feel ok about meen and miracle, felt good about Molly but now I'm less sure.

##vote RNNG to mix things up a bit

I just feel like you'd be doubling down on easy target Hal here if you were scum

But then again you are often an enigma

Do you think one or more of us is scum based on the interaction? What conclusions do you draw from said weirdness?

What is your read on molly?

Is this your way of saying that you also have a power in some ways similar to Hal's?

I claimed to have *a* power early on, it is curious to me that scum have been whacking vanillas rather than me.

I suppose it may not have been clear to scum until recently that this was a high-vanilla game

Yeah after seeing Hal's description it felt JOATy and I was curious if this was how your thing worked. Grandi's claim seemed a little bit different and more "classic" JOAT but could've relatively easily also been this same style.

Right that's what you said earlier. I was originally assuming your skillset was more prot-focused but that is now less clear to me today. I also had been scumreading you right at day start but there have been a few people who have jumped up ahead of you today.

absolutely nothing has changed my opinion that hal is scum and he remains my favorite flip for the day. molly is only nominally not lurking and I'm leaning scum there.

Yeah Cube is dead but can post in thread. Cube doesn't get a vote. Usually the stump flips after a delay in cases like this. He's janitored (???) because if we know Cube is town or scum in this state, while Cube is still in thread, we could just take it as fact instead of possible lies.

If he's dead and town, I could have targeted him last night since I can only target dead townspeople with my one-shot. My action failed, so it's ambiguous whether he's alive or not-town.

I'm assuming that the mod would stop you using your ability on someone who isn't dead (is a stump really dead?). Your ability is the edge of an edge case but I think it clears Em and condemns a Cube supporter.

well, you could have been role blocked. and if its a seance ability (get them to talk with you in private or in thread) it wwould be redundant so I would fail that as a mod/tell you to hold off.

As I said, lot of ambiguity here but it's why I'm less inclined to dunk Sparkly until there's a resolution.

My case on Hal is not that strong it’s setup spec and weak vibes.

By contrast my case on molly is strong vibes

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

redneck nazgul posted:

For all important purposes in the average game? Yes. A player that can't vote and doesn't count for voting purposes cannot in any reasonable sense control the vote. They can influence it with whatever they say, but a hypothetical scum stump loses when the rest of their team is eliminated. You could hypothetically have a stump that has powers at night which would allow them to affect the gamestate still, but that would be pretty OP and we don't have a lot of evidence of OP poo poo going on in this game.

Okay, now your stance makes sense at least. Whatever's going on with Cube is mechanically weird for sure; it's possible he's "alive" for mechanical interaction purposes but not for voting purposes. The scum option only makes sense to me under one of two options: 1. He resurrects fully later with the powers to vote and be voted. 2. He's being propped up by somebody else. In both cases, "who makes sense as his partner?" is the question to pursue the answer to.

I disagree, scum!cube could be on a scum team with a janitor power and they janitored his flip. QED, occam's razor satisfied, etc.

(cube being scum and being a stump with a janitored flip doesn't require anything more complicated than cube being a scum stump and the scumteam having a janitor power. it's not any more far fetched than anything else in a closed setup)

Either way, the main thing to vote on is who is sketchy.

Hal was sketchy D1 and his claim overlaps with mine a bit, which I don't like.

That has less weight than FoS mafia-dadding in a manner consistent with his scum meta, in my experience

That has even less weight than me having generalized scum vibes on molly.

im sorry but when has a stump ever been alive?
cube is a stump
he is dead
so rn either:
has proof cube is not town
is lying

the first seems most likely regardless of nazguls alignment

i get how sparkly is condemned if cube is town but how are they cleared if cube is scum
doesnt a eccocop just let you know "at least 1 person in the group is not town"

thats valid, but i want to say something with bravado about how dumb hurr hurr. Still i got the vibes that they're oppositionally aligned. If i were scum team and two of us were there I think I would push to get the ecco cop executed first.

My result is "my action failed". I can only use my action on dead town-aligned people.

If Cube is alive, the action fails, because Cube's not dead: No alignment check is possible here. If Cube is dead, the action fails if and only if he is not town-aligned.

Since nobody has claimed to roleblock me, this means that it's either "Cube is technically alive and we cannot determine alignment" or "Cube is dead and is non-town".

I'm offering you all the results and proof that I have, but go ahead and go off with this "redneck is lying" poo poo.
