I firmly believe that Gamma is fakeclaiming (More on that later), but also that we can't afford to eliminate there at the moment in case I'm wrong. I think that the context of Gamma pushing Pine makes Pine a probable miselim, while I think Pine is pretty much pure null on his own merit. I do need to meta dive Pine to check Gamma's assertion that town Pine is more apologetic and dual-dive Gamma/Pine to see if it's likely Gamma believes that his assertion that town Pine is more apologetic to be true, but I've been busier than expected in meatworld and haven't done so yet.

You and skitts are roughly analogous in that I like the content you're putting out but don't necessarily townread you for it. I do think it's unlikely you're S/S though. I had a scumread on Cakez and Ydrasse yesterday, but it didn't keep strong vibes through the night and I haven't really had strong impressions from either of them. I'd still probably be down to wagon either. I think Nos, iks and Cmod are probably town in roughly that order of strength. I feel weirded out by ABR's lack of clear direction, but I ALSO lack clear direction this game so I'm left with the idea that it might not be an issue of his, but rather of the game itself.

That leaves me with a probable scum PoE of ABR, PP, You, F&G, Ydrasse, SC, but within that pool I'm more or less floundering on who I want to push.

Firstly how and why do you think I'm fakeclaiming? That implies the role I am claiming is a lie, what evidence do you have to support that allegation? Second, why am I not in your scum PoE if you think I'm fakeclaiming? Even if you don't want to vote me out now I should still be in your scumpool.

I didn't miss that point. The thing I'm pointing out is that you're using an appeal to probability (which is itself a flawed argument) based on unknown probabilities to crusade for Pine's elimination. It's entirely possible, from my perspective, that scum need to roll a 2 to activate a lab. It's entirely possible that scum need to roll a 6 to activate a lab. I don't think either of those are likely to be the case, but they're both possible. If the doctors need to roll a 3 to activate a lab, and have a knowledge of three, they succeed roughly 60% of the time with a knowledge of 3. Given a presumptive three scum, if two of them attempted to activate labs last night then they would have had a greater than 1/4 chance to succeed twice. If the target number is 4, they had a roughly 1/8 chance. The thing is that we really have no idea if either of those is the case. The entire case is based on probabilities I don't know, and can't know. Your presentation of it as a consensus scumread vote and then backtrack to a "it's mechanical" and then addendum of "it's also meta" is what gives me so many bad feelings about the push though.
In post 905, Gamma Emerald wrote:4 I wanted more knowledge before I did that, so I explored in hopes of boosting my knowledge though some method. My ability to destroy labs outside of the speed stat isn't an infinite use action, there's a cap on it.
Yeah...

Gamma has claimed, in short, the following components to his role:

He can attempt to destroy labs in addition to other actions during the night.
He can virtually guarantee the ability to destroy labs a limited number of times.
He needs knowledge to use his power.
He did not attempt to destroy a lab on N0 or N1.
His ability explicitly functions differently for scum, implying it wouldn't necessarily go to town and thus that there is a smalltown element to the role assignment or something like a role thief that could steal a townsperson's role.

Each of these, individually, has an explanation. Cumulatively, they really don't.

Not acting on N0 or N1 implies that his free action ability is limited shot. That makes sense. However, he's also claimed that the ability to guarantee a lab's destruction is ALSO limited shot, which implies that for a certain number of nights Gamma can blow up a lab without a roll or action. Fine and dandy, I suppose. But why would he need knowledge at that point? If his ability to free action destroy a lab has no shot restriction, then there was no downside to attempting to destroy a lab on N0 and attempting to destroy a lab on N1, which he has claimed he didn't do. If his ability to free action destroy a lab has the same shot restriction as his ability to outright destroy a lab without rolling, he has no particular need for knowledge.

The only way all of his claims add up is as such: Gamma is claiming an X-shot autodestroying Y-shot actionless lab destroyer. Let's compare that claim to what's else has been claimed.

ABR is claiming something along the lines of damage multiplier.
Nos is reflexive stat setter.
CMod is a proven stat healer (who is claimed as one shot).
Ydrasse can attack an extra time at night.
JF gave +1 knowledge once.
I heal once per cycle when freely given an item.

Notice a difference between those claims? Cause there's one that doesn't seem to fit in with the rest.

I understand that you have trepidation, but I don't really share it. I think the logic of 'if we all attack x, x will surely die, so we should use our attacks to make this a double day setup' is a fairly town approach to a complicated setup like this.

3 is kinda my guess but a part of me interprets the part about labs being able to be destroyed after being activated as potentially meaning something even if the plain text doesn't suggest anything. I think scum need a 4 or 5 to activate, and out of those I'd predict 5 over 4 because it create a sorta pattern. But two activating in one night makes me think there's the chance Pine used that extra knowledge to get another lab activated with good odds. It's speculative yes but Pine just generally hasn't contributed, and it's more like how he fail to contribute as scum vs. as town. Look at what Pine is specifically like when he is inactive in those games I cited. There's a clear difference.
PEdit: I acknowledged that but you should have labeled that set of people differently, then.

Okay?

It wasn't a post designed to get me townreads. It was a post designed to show where I'm at wrt the thread. I'm more than capable of manipulating my way into being townread (as both alignments) but I frankly don't need to here. It's not really a secret that I don't particularly care what people's reads on me are until the endgame.

I was that arrogant once upon a time ;)

I completely understand the mechanic heavy nature of discussion, I'm beginning to think this game CAN be solved mechanically without scum hunting at all. But like, actually taking the plunge and just not having any scum reads is... disconcerting

Like we already determined the way CMod claimed his night action was likely town, no? In addition to that, he's done something this day phase that would be very foolish for scum to do.

You are thinking like this is a normal game.

Scum only need 1 scum in this game. With 4 labs, they endgame 4 players if the godfather is alive.
