DGB's claim is probably real by the virtue of my flavor being second deriv and DGB being first deriv.

Scums are given fakeclaims so it's still possible that while the flavor is possible the claim itself is bogus.
Wow you're so good at avoiding death and killing slots that are not part of the informed minority. Wow how are you so good at playing this game.

You're not convincing me that DGB's claim is bogus here unless it's S v S.

DGB doesn't come accusing you immediately unless it knows you flip red (or miller). Trading 1 for 1 with someone who is miselimination bait makes no sense.

I disagree with this but I see where you’re coming from. It’s possible DGB is town I just don’t find it the most probable. I think the most probable is Nom+DGB.

I think explaining why I think that is really anti town.

in a world where DGB is scum, it does this play specifically because it knows I'm miller and knows it can get away with it, that's my point

Ftfy lmao

Like I feel like I am being trolled at this point.

Is there like a candid camera mod or something?

But if it had your role pm, then it pushing you so hard only confirms the existence of a rolecop.

Second, that requires scum checking the lynchbait with their rolecop.

A50 has a role that gives reason to believe role flavor impacts the game, I dont.
A50 is asking for specific role flavor, I was asking for something weaker.
Since peoples roles are all calculus based, anyone claiming not analysis would have been scumtelling. Otherwise no info is leaked.
I don't understand this. Are all roles calculus based? You're talking role flavor right? Other than the derivitaves I have no idea (because calculus). I mean the color mentions algebra, geometry and calculus. And what does it mean that "anyone claiming not analysis would have been scumtelling?" What is not analysis? Does that mean not problem solving? Like someone would have to be Pythagorean Thoerem but not Set Theory?

The mod specifically said calculus or some form of Math wasn't required to play. Otherwise, I would have pleaded for Math to be a hydra with me this game. Then we definitely would have gotten post 314. #notsalty

Chica while Math isn’t required to play it is coloring my reads a bit. It’s not required to play but DGB’s claim is an action while everyone else’s claim so far is a theorem/property. Sure it’s first derivative but the test on it is odd.

That type of test also requires a bit of intuition/mental calculation while other properties so far have been facts.

That’s I think the safest way I can say what I want I think?

There are really only about five players actually saying anything. I count myself as not pulling my weight as far as that goes. So boredom? But A50's role apparently means he's a neighbor infmored about a specifc flavor matching a specifc role. I think that's where it started. As I type that out it sounds about as convo;uted as nom's claimed role.

pedit: So I guess that probably means flavor and roles don't really match.

Some terminology: anything that is calculus is analysis. Analysis is also a bit more, I might even say that "real number" falls into analysis, though it's also algebra. I'm basing analysis as things covered by Spivak's textbook on analysis. Things that are algebra and not analysis could be abstract algebra (Group/Ring Theory) or linear algebra (matricies/vectors). Things that are geometry are not analysis. Lots of other math is not analysis (topology, number theory, statistics).

Every role flavor claimed so far has definitely been analysis, plus A50 said their flavor was "calculus". So it stands to reason that all roles are from analysis, so if someone had claimed to have a geometry role, it would be very suspicious, and I would have treated it as a scumtell.

People were asked to flavor claim, I'm the only one who has actually claimed a role in addition to the flavor.

That's why my claim is singularly an action - so far.

I guess I see your point, but it would take a math person to pick up on that. That seems a little too in the weeds from a game writing perspective. But if I recall correctly, The Baker did a guitar player based game a while back, and I'm thinking that the flavor may have matched up with the role and that was more familiar to me.
