Pooky you can't do that when it turns out people start with artifacts, you need to use it to investigate claims to have no artifact, jesus christ

It came up repeatedly in the first episode where Jinks showed up, and it was at least a throwaway in nearly every episode (if not every). It's iconic of him.

He did show a sort of talent for figuring out where artifacts should be stored in the warehouse after Leena died. Some artifacts don't behave well near each other.

I did just try to contribute to the Math is scum fund. But honestly. I just think people's eyes glazed over when I bothered to engage with him and it turned into a slap fight. You can tell from how they wrote about our interactions that they were more emotionally focused on their own discomfort and not so much reading what we were saying to each other and about other players.

Also, we are getting worryingly close to the page limit.

Decide. People.

Please just vote Mathblade and let's go to day 2. *

Or, if LLD still wants it, we can go Cakez.

Also, Pooky stop spamming or I'm going to kill you.

I wish I had kept my promise of playing video games, this is atrocious, the claim is fine (And when the "Flavor is NAI/Scum have fakeclaims" crowd was needed the most, they vanished...) and the votes on this are a giant scum/nullslot roll call. I maintain this even if Cakez flips scum.

I am just at a loss at this point.

Even mastina's recent content looks Town to me.

I have no opinion about the claim and it does not affect my Cakez read, I am still town leaning him by play.

I might just throw away all my reads and start fresh tomorrow, I am so NOT on the same page as a lot of people that are probably Town and I am starting to think it's more of a me problem then a them problem.

Again, will be on for deadline to push a lim through.

I do think it's CONVENIENT of Pooky to actually start contributing now that we are close to our deadline/page count limit.

Oh fuck it, I have it when people dance around shit and we've got enough claims out there.

I'm Mrs. Frederics, an x-shot artifact usage detector.

I've softed this a few places, and this was why my early game focus was on artifacts and rooting out liars.

A part of me thinks we don't work together on the same side, but maybe we do. This claim was probably dumb, but I figure I fit right in now.

Pooky's push on cakez looks like his push on flavor leaf in tenet but cakez response looks fake and quite frankly I wonder if it's theater.

I mean, I still think he's scum post-claim. Not because his flavor doesn't match (note: I don't know anything about the flavor) but because:

-He doesn't appear to have put the thought into this role that he would have as town
-The claim can easily be a scum role, so I'm not going to flip and say we shouldn't elim when he can still very well be scum regardless of role, or indeed even because of it

There's a Mrs. Frederics-in-training character who also has this talent in the series.

I swore I'd save 25 posts for Nacho out of our 125 post "allotment". This is post 100.

Why are we mass-claiming?

Can you elaborate on artifact usage?

Why are we mass-claiming?
We aren't. I'm wondering if Cakez and I could be on the same side which is outguessing the mod, but does someone who gets a list of people's artifacts and someone who can detect who used an artifact work as both town?

I claimed only because I started outguessing the mod and commented about it, and I hate when people go oh we can't work together as town roles but act all coy about it, so I was dumb in the first place.

pedit: I have a certain number of shots where I can target a person and see if they used an artifact on the day (s) I specify.

So you can check if someone used an artifact and Cakez just gets a full list of all the artifacts a player has.

We might have just outed the equivalent of a cop since he could presumably find whatever artifact is sitting in a scum member's artifact pile or find an artifact that was suspect.
On first impression it seems like a scum roll designed to find out what artifacts people have as it is close to a not-vanilla claim?
Or something?
mm.
Hmm.
Yeah I could see Cakez wanting to catch someone in a lie with this as town tbh. But it's not terribly clear.
On the other hand. Everybody when given 3 options all coalesced around Cakez. I still think a whole lot of scum want Cakez dead tbh. This just makes it juicier.
Hmmm. HMMM

I dunno. I'm bad at claim looking.
Though Tammy's role seems like a similar one, on the other hand, Tenet.

I don't want to vote for mastina or myself.

I think SirCakez role can easily be scum

I don't want to think about mechanical plays because we will probably move onto someone else who is town and always be wondering about sircakez

not a fan of SirCakez spamming up the thread, although far from the only culprit. I'll stick with Mastina, so let's see. if we get to page 85, people can still vote so it's not the worst thing, given we have literally a couple hours left anyway.

vote: Mathblade


Partly a leap of faith with Bell, and partly white-hot rage at the very real likelihood that we run out of fucking posts trying to figure this last minute shit out.

Need to get that out of my system if nothing else.

I'll move as needed to get an elim across the line as long as it doesn't involve voting a strong townread.
