I can do other stuff, too, but it only takes me ~4 minutes to do a "set of words" study. I have already done a study on single words and am currently in the process of learning how to figure out if a finding is statistically significant.

Anyone have any ideas relevant to this game that I can use this ability for?
I'm not sure exactly HOW this is going to work for you... Buuuuuuuuut be my guest with it and let's see how it works.

I was kind of hoping for some quotes to supplement your case, but I guess this will suffice. Thanks.

Do you think Nobody Special is a better lynch choice than Boxxy today? Why or why not?

I don't see how that makes sense, though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that when you submit your night action, you say something to the effect of "I'd like to switch Player X and Player Y tonight." You're performing an action on two players simultaneously, so there shouldn't be a "first" or "second" name. Is that not how your role works?

I only see three possibilities here: either you're lying (unlikely), Pope is lying (possible, but also unlikely), or there's something weird going on with Boxxy. Which of these three possibilities do you think is the most likely?

You are correct about my role.

If those are my only three options then something weird is going on with boxxy, but I honestly think it's d) bus drivers are confusing and the way that we think they should work is not how they are working in the context of this game.

I know I'm not lying.

I seriously doubt TIP is scum and just guessed that a) I'm a PR, and b) that I visited him.

The simplest solution is that our interpretation of what would appear on a tracker's report after visiting me is incorrect. Tiphaine mentioned that Monkey's idea of double targeting roles is "kinda fucked up" because he also thought he targeted two people when in reality, he doesn't.

He claims to have a role that also intuitively visits two people but, in practice, does not.

And frankly he's believable because his information explains the inconsistencies perfectly and that is not information I would expect scum to divulge.

Actually, new rule, no one can say the word "mod", agreed?

Yes, if Tiphaine has a role that he thinks visits two people, he's more than welcome to ask "If a tracker hypothetically tracked me, would I appear to be visiting both people or just one?"

It's no different from what you asked so I'm not sure why you're pretending like it's weird?

Unless you're lying about asking Monkey about your role.

It's not weird if I ask it; I'm the Tracker
It's weird that he asks for it, searching immunity from Tracker
And why would he go specifically for Tracker? Why not other roles?

But it's not about you or the tracker. Tiphaine is free to ask the mod any question that he wants as long as it relates to his role. How was he searching for immunity?

And you had already by the time he revealed his information.

It just seems odd that you of all people would think he questioned the mod on that subject, but oh well...
