Mini Theme 2162: Wherewolf [Game over | Village win]

[Glitch]

Why aren't you claiming Italiano?

[Glitch]

Why are you asking A50 to claim???

[Almost50]

A-1: 7-3-1 >> 5-3-1 >> 3-3-1 GAME OVER
A-2: 7-3-1 >> 6-3-0 >> 4-3-0 E-Lo
B: 8-3-0 >> 6-3-0 >> 4-3-0 E-Lo
C: 8-2-1 >> 6-2-1 >> 4-2-1 >> 3-2-0 E-Lo
D: 9-2-0 >> 7-2-0 >> 5-2-0 >> 3-2-0 E-Lo

These are all possible scenarios (T-W-3P). I so not believe the top 1 is at all likely, but I considered both eliminating the Jester and not.
B & X are more likely now (depending on whether Italiano is Scum or Jester). eliminating him today ensures we don't lose before D4 (worst case scenario). If we are in D we probably are on auto win if we eliminate Italiano today.

Why aren't you claiming Italiano?

Because it’s more fun this way, don’t you think? Well maybe you don’t. I mean I could say I’m the Seducer or I could say I’m wolf, but where’s the fun in that? Besides nothing in the rules say I have to claim. This whole claiming thing was an idea that A50 seemed to run with.

Why are you asking A50 to claim???

I don’t really care if he claims or not. It’s for trolling purposes.

[Tayl0r Swift]

this is jester 100% and im not sure i feel like this deserves a win. can we just ask scum nicely to NK italiano?

[Tayl0r Swift]

this play is tantamount to just claiming jester and saying "kill me please, im gonna make your lives difficult otherwise"

jester is a silly role.

[Glitch]

Sooo we can elim Italian and possibly get scum or possibly lose our elim tomorrow. Or we can elim elements and possibly get scum.

Question is whether or not Italian is just playing jester poorly or if he is caught scum and jester was his only way to play it off. I still say we run the both up and grill them. Elements may be a safer elim for the town but more time under the microscope for both would help resolve that more.

[Pine]

Oooookay. Thank you to CM1 for his forbearance. I'm going to do a full catchup post overnight, but the first day of school with live students kicked my ass today. I'm caught up, but do not have the energy to type paragraphs when my bed is calling me.

In brief, then -

Italiano is clearly a Jester. Night kill it with fire. Scum, you can't afford for us to get nervous and eliminate him the normal way.

I still do not trust Taylor Swift. Saying fairly straightforward things without better analysis is a classic scum tactic. Unfortunately, it's also a Town tactic.

A50 continues to be Town in my book, and Glitch jumped right in there too. TFL99 still townpings me, though I'm not a fan of everything he has to say.

I am suspicious of Elements, "don't check me" was sus af. I am willing to give him a pass for today though because there might be more there.

Galron continues to ping me. First it was the abiding interest in the mechanics sans substance, then it was the volunteering to be checked. I think A50 (iirc the first to point it out) is dead on, this is exactly how a Defector would operate. He's got my vote.

Who's left? Skies, WLC, insomnia. Eh. There's stuff there, but it hovers in the margin of error.

[Glitch]

Pine what 2 players do you want to see on ballot?

[Pine]

Galron, Elements if I had to choose a second.

[Elements]

wow
you are all so paranoid

[Elements]

and i blame it all on a50

[brighteningskies]

I just want to say btw I am not a "She"

Elements: Please don't make things worse between you and A50 by blaming him. It was not helpful for him to get angry like that true but let's all chill please. I suspected you before you both had that argument. You have been vague and suspicious so it is in fact understandable that people scumread you.

Welcome Glitch and welcome back pine, very helpful long catch up posts you did.
Pine: why do you sus Galron? I'll have to look back at Galrons posts, got distracted by the italino and elements things.

[brighteningskies]

Apologies just realised you said stuff about Galron.
"abiding interest in the mechanics sans substance, then it was the volunteering to be checked. I think A50 (iirc the first to point it out) is dead on, this is exactly how a Defector would operate."

The issue with this is I agree it is suspicious but I personally feel it is secondary to Elements and Italino who are more clearly scum reads to me. Galron does indeed seem more likely to be a defector so I'm personally more inclined to put one of the other two on the ballot.

I'll catch up more on stuff I've missed and update on who I'll be voting for soon.

[brighteningskies]

Oh btw Pine: "Italiano is clearly a Jester. Night kill it with fire. Scum, you can't afford for us to get nervous and eliminate him the normal way."

Actually scum does maybe benefit from a Jester being in the game because they mess around and cause confusion the wolves can hide behind and then if we do burn the Jester the next day we don't get a burn - which again could benefit the wolves because they might not be burned on the ballot. So I wouldn't necessarily rely on the wolves to deal with him and would suggest if we do think he is a Jester burning him as soon as possible to limit the negative effects of the no burn the next day.
(Please tell me if this sentence makes less sense than I thought it did I'm a bit tired today)

I'm pretty sure pine knew that but wanted to try and get the wolves to kill them anyway.

Oh I don’t think it would’ve worked but i’m sorry if I messed it up

[Glitch]

If Italiano is Jester why waste today's elim on him and tomorrow's elim on no one. We don't have to kill the jester to win. Just leave him alone and ignore him the rest of the game and elim of actual scum.

But if he's actually wild hiding behind this jester facade then we are in trouble. Pine and Taylor, you two seem oddly confident that he is jester. Pine even more so because you don't want him on ballot. That's odd. If you're that confident he's not scum are you scum with him? If we flip him today should we flip you tomorrow, and if you're right about him being jester you're safe, but if he's scum then you go down too? Since you're so confident he's not scum. It's odd to me. I am not one to line up elims like that and of course anything can change in a single post. Bit with the mechanics we know about and how off it is that you dont want Italiano on ballot you have pinged me quite a bit.

Skies my bad on the wrong pronoun. I'll fix that sorry!

212 and 213. Elements blaming A50 for his own claim disaster bolsters my SR. Ballot this.

[Elements]

I'm the bard
don't ballot me

[insomnia]

If you're gonna call every scummy person a jester then this is gonna be a long game.

[Almost50]

this play is tantamount to just claiming jester and saying "kill me please, im gonna make your lives difficult otherwise"

jester is a silly role.

Don't discount the possibility that it's a Wolf who got trapped by the C/NC strategy and decided to pretend to be a Jester, so we don't eliminate him.

IF we let him live today I strongly recommend the Clairvoyant checks him tonight (Corrupt = Scum, Not Corrupt = Jester).

HOWEVER, I don't see why we should run anyone else and risk outing an important TPR. We have a "safe" NON-TOWN elimination. Why skip it?

[Almost50]

L:ike, I understand the emotional side of the argument. "This doesn't deserve to win" because I am as frustrated as anyone. HOWEVER, let's face it. A Jester's job is to annoy people enough so that they do eliminate them by day. He's been playing to his win con IMHO

[ItalianoVD]

So now the village is trying to make a deal with the wolves. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Have some pride people.

IF we let him live today I strongly recommend the Clairvoyant checks him tonight (Corrupt = Scum, Not Corrupt = Jester).

You’re assumptions will get you killed.
