I agree her reads are illogical but she’s town.

Happy?
You should have just let Mastina answer this. It's a reasonable question.

I would like them but it’s not as urgent. More so that hopefully this doesn’t happen again.
What would happen if you check the attunement of a player and they weren’t Sun or Moon?
Say Dawn or Dusk?
Is every player explicitly Sun or Moon?
I THINK everyone's sun or moon (my misremember of my role PM was thinking that I was a Light/Sun attuned person), but I haven't checked.

Too tired to even write a good question, but I'll ask tomorrow and get an answer pronto then.

This is probably a closer descriptor. (I knew there was a modifier that's similar to Indecisive but whole game rather than one night, just couldn't remember it and it's not in the role PM itself.) Between this and at least.
In post 2866, MathBlade wrote:You have no idea just how gamebreaking that is Mastina.
Apparently not, since I thought my role wasn't anything amazing. (Granted I forgot half of it and misremembered part of it, so.)
I guess I was
in a sense
not off the mark then when I picked up on you having something similar to me, I just was wildly off about the specifics. :P
(But, need sleep, we can coordinate and talk it out better tomorrow.)

Six scum AND recruitment is a hell of a balancing choice though, so I don't think both can be genuine slips... I'll come back to it after sleep

In post 2873, Radical Rat wrote:Sounds like you just have mod-confirmed existence of an investigation immunity. I don't know why you'd expect that to apply to me, though it is good information to have.

I do believe your claim, and actually see exactly why you reacted the way you did to Math's crumbs now. The catch there is that I stand by what I said before. Especially with roles this specific, I don't believe a Townie looks at vague crumbs and jumps to the conclusion that scum is softing a role they likely don't know exists. I do believe a relatively powerful scum role expects a counterpart on the other team and would be sensitive to clues on that front.

The ability itself... Could go either way, but seems more useful for scum. For Town, it's not a hard guilty, but it does allow us to determine players aren't on the SAME scumteam... But for scum Moon attunement means a potential rival, while Sun attunement means potential interference (like me). And then there's one other thing...

You mentioned you think your role implies recruitment exists. I don't see what implies recruitment in any of that, so where is that coming from?
not mastina, but a few things here:

no, it doesn't imply investigation immunity exists, because what if checking an unattuned VT gives you no result?

the fact that mastina can't check the same person twice hits at recruitment, because what if someone unattuned gets recruited?

this is also part of why want everyone to shut up about their attunement because what if the cult can only recruit unattuned people (VTs?) or what if they can only recruit PRs of their same attunement?

The can't-target-same-player-twice part. As an investigative that gets information about something that people expect to be immutable (unchangeable), why would I be unable to check someone twice?

Thus, implication that it's to prevent me from seeing a change in attunement, implying recruitment but not being explicit.

That does make sense, and apparently scarf saw it too, so alright then. I blame me being tired

I’d say if your role is true the limitation would be that not everyone would be burning.

UNVOTE:

I'm going to look over all this with fresh eyes tomorrow. MathBlade's role apparently being complementary takes away from my suspicion it's a scum investigative, though I do still think mastina's play has been scummy... I don't know, but I'm not going to figure any of it out without sleep.

Wait.
Is there another Investigative now?
Both me and Mumps are really behind.
Measles also seems kinda busy so I have no idea what happened since my V/LA began and what Math told me yesterday.
