So, I ran all three games that you linked as well as every game that I can remember playing with Dunn through the spread sheet. Calculated Dunn's percentage of all posts made day 1 compared to how many players were in the game, then did conditional formatting to color his higher post rate games green. (because you are positing that lurk dunn = scum dunn) to then see if there is any corrolation.


The conditional formatting guessed incorrectly 4 times, got it right 1 time, and then it did not give a result on his middle of the road game.


If anything, this is wrong more then it is right, and lurk Dunn = town Dunn.
well then

I did notice he had middling posting rates in a lot of his scumgames though and his posting does tend to ping as distinctly scummy when he is scum, and he's at least fitting that second bill imo
but tbh I think I wanna posit another question to

We started with what, 17? I think we're liekly to have a third party in this game, so 13-3-1 makes sense over 13-4.

Also, I don't think Juliet can be alignment read. I think she might literally come back to life in a few days here, hence the redacted flip.

Looking at the wiki page, maybe that's Ophelia? and the guy is Rosencranz? Were they in Hamlet?

That’s not how any of the xeno captures worked, nor do I think Galron would know what this means

Rosencrantz was a flunkie hired to dupe Hamlet into giving up his plot against the king when nobody could figure out why he was acting all squirrelly. He and Guildenstern played on their previous friendship with Hamlet to take advantage of him. He died offstage between acts.

Unless roles are named at random, it doesn't seem a particularly townsided role to draw.

He was also a dude.

Word of caution: paraphrasing role PMs is ok. quoting from PMs directly is not ok.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.

the thing with why I initially asked for ability flavor was that I felt galron could be a scum invest role who checked skybird and killed wheme, and wanted to see if galron's flavor felt in line with where I'd expect a the scum invest to come from in the flavor

This being my first such game I don't actually know what that means but I'm assuming I have once again committed a stupid

I was going to clarify this anyway but "not particularly townsided" =\= scum. Just noting that rosencrantz is at best a useful idiot to the villain of Hamlet and at worst a low level thug in that guy's pocket. (If flavor is at all alignment-indicative.)

But on the other hand you could say he is in the nobility and therefore townsided and look, I'm just happy to have something in my wheelhouse to talk about since I feel out of my depth in the recent discussios ok?

Why are you jumping to an invest role, when we know that skybird has already claimed that their gold was stolen?

The wikipedia article I read said Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were sent to keep tabs on Hamlet, that sounds like it could be written as a watcher
