My take on it is that it's considerably less likely that you're not HG and happened to have access to the trident at start of game and the HG fakeclaim, than you're just who you say you are.

I think HG would be town in this setup just due to her being kind of a heel-face kind of villain.

Bork, you seem to be following what is happening here. So let me ask you... what is happening here?

if there was a tv drama starring mathblade as a detective, it would be a massively entertaining show. clearly it would be entitled something appropriately pithy like "The Traitor" :lol:

math is trying to solve a puzzle and the pieces are coming together (albeit in a way that i'm not super following the verbiage of) and is probably town

Tammy and sangres will not be dying tonight.

Carry on.

I think people are drawing too strong of a conclusion around the game not being flavor breakable. You can have flavor be AI, have a very limited number be flavor-confirmable, and still be very far away from having it be flavor-breakable.

but anyway I liked the content discussion, I still need to go for my break and read the last 10 pages, I still don't understand Math but I'll take it.

What is you ur read on titus? You also talked about math being survivalistic which battle mage has picked up, can you talk about where?

Okay, I get math thinks there's a flavor puzzle. I'm just not following why someone should have a grappling hook and stuff.

If flavor determines what artifacts you start with wouldn't flavor claiming be bad? I looked up my guy in the wiki and I think I'd say my start with artifacts matches my flavor.

I mean I'm happy to let people work, at worst it gives us some insight into Mathblade and hopefully some extra scum. I'd just like to be able to decypher this train at some point.

I'd be interested to hear why Kitty Trauma Team is actually town to people, the angles they're taking are insanely safe as scum, not at all difficult to fake, and the constant hedging/Cakez progression bother me.

I'll get to Bell/LLD comments later btw have just been trying to focus on reading, OKAY BE BACK LATER GOTTA STOP BURNING POSTS ON ONE LINERS

Your entire iso is voting LLD Dunn yourself or me.

LLD is conf town (much to my dismay as she will literally stop at nothing to elim me as she thinks I am the world’s shittiest town player I am an asset to scum and must die despite our conversation a year plus back. )
Yourself if you’re town is stupid.
Dunn likely was town and/or scum driven to avoid looking bad on my flip but is kinda Townie.

Why is your ISO content less?

Vote someone who will die today.

HG’s initial artifact was a grappling gun when she saved Myka or the gravity vest in the mansion when they discover HG is a female.

Oh, okay.

Hmmm. This is boring.

Hey quick, people, give me one reason Titus is town if you're not voting her.

I don't need a full fucking case or shit, just one reason that I'm wrong and shouldn't be voting her.

she tried to save math from getting himself elimmed. unless they're both scum (in which case, let's do math first), she didn't need to do that as scum.
