this is how everytown player is that thinks slayers gambit is a good idea.

I have never heard of slayer's gambit and while I have seen something similar to this in the past - albeit very rarely - I don't really get the sense that this from Hutmeil is genuine, personally.

But of course, since I'm VT, I feel conflicted about this since the game is about hunting/eliminating scum, not eliminating Town.
Ok great but you said "I agree with my elimination" and discussed self hammering earlier. That's a much harder stance than "if eliminating me will push the gamestate forward then fine." I'd be more willing to chalk it up to a mistake in wording if this was only one line but you seem to have gone repeatedly back and forth on this issue
Why do I get the feeling that you're pushing me to hammer myself?

I don't think you read my recent post but I made it to get information on D1. It's D1 so getting info by any means possible is good (at least for me).
I read your post but I just do not think this explanation makes sense. Like I guess it's not impossible, but I really don't understand why town would genuinely decide that the best way to get information is to be intentionally scummy and then get irritated when people scumread you for being scummy
I'm not saying it's the best way. It is A way. Basically we don't have any info on D1 so generating reactions is a way to get info on the day with the least info.

And ok but like surely you realise there are other ways to get reactions than just playing like scum

Slayer's gambit is essentially playing "scummy" with the assumption that scum will try to push you and you find scum that way. Like I'm not saying that's what Hut was doing but I do feel like thats what alot of new players do. And sometimes they get MAD for being scum read and I think it's hilarious and your made me think of that.

It's like smoking 2 packs a day and then getting mad at the cig company when you get lung cancer. If you partake in risky behavior don't get mad at the consequences.

He didn't claim that I can remember. I'll occasionally peek in at work but I generally can't do much when I'm not on break. I want an answer to how 1019 and 1024 don't blatantly contradict.

I've gotta get my stuff started but I was hoping for an answer before this.

Oh, I didn't get hammered. I really thought I did, and was just kinda ready to forget about this game.

Fine, I'll claim if you guys really want me to. I'm a gated Town Cop who can only uncover Mafia Goons (full role is
Town Disloyal Simple Cop
).

It's a shame I probably won't even get to use the role now. I am, however, still planning on checking someone from my PoE Night 1. My current thoughts are to check out Mohab/
Crescent

Hmm

I kind of believe the role and don't think it would be a fake claim, but is possible greeting has a similar mafia role

Why did you want to be hammered if you're a gooncop

I'd much rather be just a Town Cop, but yeah, for some reason that's hard to come by in the Normal queue.

I consider myself to be a rather intelligent person, but I'm not smart enough to make such a sophisticated fake claim, honestly. I would need to have someone from my team invent it for me (10% effort) and then successfully convince me to use it (90% effort), which overall makes it highly improbable.

I'm annoyed that I was forced to claim over absolute bs on Day 1, because the only way for my role to be potentially useful would be me checking out at least like 3 scummy people and hoping I uncover an actual Goon.

Anyway, question time is over, because I think the questions being asked are bullshit and my cooperation changes absolutely nothing. If you don't believe my claim, just hammer me so I can bitch about this game in the Dead Thread.

I mean it was obvious that greeting was soft claiming pr here. I was sorta thinking this was scum
ATE
so we didn't hammer him for real.

I was also sorta thinking that Hut could be town b/c I really think that scum would be far more likely to claim PR like ^^^

Another thought I had was that Hut actually was a VT and the Greeting wagon was about getting another claim. But that would mean they were both town and scum is something like BBT, Cresent, ???

or maybe there's just scum in hut/greeting and I'm overthinking things

I mean all those things are obviously possibilities

The vt thing does cross my mind but the amount of stress he put on how he's ok with being elimmed cos he's just a simple VT kind of cancelled that out for me
