I'd say immunity to a PR's action and the potential to mislead town with a false Inno is pretty powerful.
Sigh. You're just arguing semantics then. And not even particularly useful semantics.
I'm arguing UTILITY.

Staying to think you're not really misunderstanding me.

This shit is getting pretty blatant.

That's my guess.

It would effectively make your role borderline negative utility.
This is where I'm at.

If people genuinely believe that we have a Vig that can only kill minimum zero/maximum one scum that otherwise only kills town PRs, why exactly is this slot still breathing if some people don't even believe the claim?
jeez rude, I'm still a member of town and that has value.

true. Does that point two 2 mafia prs then not counting the traitor, assuming the mod didn't have some odd idea then? And assuming I'm town ofc.
This was exactly my reasoning a few posts ago.

I'm a town complex vigilante. Explains the bulletproof mafia, but that's also why my claim might not be that helpful as the counterpart has already been revealed.
This claim seems too complicated to come from scum?

I see where you're coming from but, especially the last quote felt like an attempt to shift focus to the actual game. A very "looks better in-context" kind of post.
which may or may not be ai considering tbh, but if it is it's town
In post 232, GeorgeBailey wrote:I mean, some people just deserve to be policy'd if they're making the game unfun for other people. Maf or not.

Pedit: it's been difficult to get reads so far with the Osetr stuff. I think House's and Fua's pressure early on is +town since it helped move the game forward. That's about it.
I want to check later I'm not jumping on locktowning someone before it's earned here, but without knowing their meta I'd bet strongly that Fua is town
I'm going to wait on House for now because I think I became biased over the course of one day lol


and then

I think making assumptions about setup composition based on what you think is balanced is a very bad idea.
This is more reviewer meta though.
2 goons and a traitor never happens, it's almost always 2 prs and a traitor.

Please take a second to breathe. This is the first time you mentioned utility, you specifically said PR before this. I don't really care about winning a semantics argument, especially since we're apparently on the same page anyway. So maybe drop this pointless back and forth.

Utility is... what makes a PR... a PR...

A PR... without utility... is just a... named townie/scum...

Whatever happens, we shouldn’t eliminate redtea. By nature of their actual role, unless they and the informed townie are scum together, then they’re essentially confirmed town unless they get shot by the real vigilante overnight, no? I feel like anyone trying to push for them to die because of their ‘lack of utility’ just wants to see a townie die to begin with, and strikes me as incredibly suspicious. Not to mention that redtea doesn’t even have to shoot until we’re sure we’ve bagged a mafia.

VOTE: Three

Your insistence on killing off someone who claimed a PR comes off as weird to me. Maybe the mafia has two power roles and you’re afraid of getting shot at night.

If we don’t believe the claim, then let the real vigilante shoot redtea at night. If redtea is still alive, that means that they’re a confirmed townie or we just found two scum covering for each other.
