Uh no you just hammered

[TierShift]

Oh, didn't mean to. No regrets, though.

[Formerfish]

Tier you seem very eager to get as many claims as you can today. Explain your thought process behind wanting everyone to claim?

It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments.

Hyper Beam

- During the day, you fire a laser that knocks a target out on contact, however you are not revealed. This cuts off any Psychic connection you had, and prevents a new one from being established the next night.

Sup guys, I'm gonna take this to a town win.
Massclaim is happening, now.

I am Lapras and my only ability is Perish Song. This is a 3-phase-delayed suicide bomber. I used this on pieguyn last night. Me and pieguyn will both die at the end of next day's lynch. Pie can confirm this, as my ability states that my target will be informed of the fact.

Overnight, I thought pie was most likely to be scum. If he is, the game is over. If he keeps playing, we can regard both me and him as confirmed town.

Bert, you go next.

[pieguyn]

Overnight, I thought pie was most likely to be scum. If he is, the game is over. If he keeps playing, we can regard both me and him as confirmed town.

in addition to the fact that I was not informed as such, I literally do not buy this at all. "next day's lynch" is conveniently 4p MYLO. by the time you'd be able to be "confirmed", it'd be too late to do anything about it.

soooooooo tell me about how this supposedly makes you "confirmed town"?

[pieguyn]

overnight I had reason to believe everyone was town besides TS, and I was thinking I didn't actually like TS's end-of-D3 play. in addition to completely avoiding the vettrock wagon until it was obvious it would go through, I think that last-minute push on FF was more an attempt to capitalize on the FF/Boon shitstorm that was going on. I feel good enough voting here for the time being.

vote: TS

[pieguyn]

Flames682 <- town via vettrock push and I actually liked his end of D3 posting.
Bert <- town via general play
Seohyun <- town for Psychic role and being entirely unaware his role was not the same as NM's role, assuming he confirms having it in the neighborhood today.
Boonskiies Wisdom <- town via Wisdom/NM interactions.

TierShift

looks like it's time for me to wake up and start doing shit. in the meantime, any questions?

[pieguyn]

also don't really buy that you thought I was the most likely to be scum after saying I was "absolutely town via predecessor". the only thing I could think of that would make you change your mind was vettrock being scum, and I get that I didn't vote vettrock, but I outright stated I'd sheep whichever wagon was likely to go through and that I thought vettrock was scum via POE. plus, I for the most part wasn't active when all of that happened. /shrug

if I was scum here, I would have bussed in a way that basically gave me no town cred from it. call it self-meta or WIFOM if you want, but it goes entirely against how I bus as scum. Boon in particular should know that if I bus, I do so with the intent to get whoever I'm bussing lynched, explicitly because I know if I make a soft push on my partner and then don't follow through with it it would look terrible.

also don't really get why you're calling me not being proactive a scum tell when you saw me lurk an entire day phase in GIF's micro (including being reluctant to read like a 20 page game bc I was that lazy) and when I've demonstrated I can be proactive as scum

anyway, if anyone has any questions for me, ask and ye shall receive

[TierShift]

Pie, this effort is adorable. I have an ability that states that

it cannot be blocked

and that

the person I use the ability on will be notified

.

I'm absolutely positive I used on you. Are you 100% sure you didn't get a confirmation?

[TierShift]

I can totally flesh out why I used perish song on you, but at the end of the day, it doesn't even matter.

[pieguyn]

I'm absolutely positive I used on you. Are you 100% sure you didn't get a confirmation?

yes

[TierShift]

I have no problem with taking the lynch. It is the correct town play if pie tells you I'm lying, after all. There always is the chance I'm bluffing.

I just need to be very sure pie is actually calling me a liar, which confirms him as the liar upon my very flip.

[pieguyn]

is it possible your action got redirected?

while I am fairly positive you're scum outside of this, and think you're more than capable of setting up this sort of WIFOM as a last-ditch scum play, I don't want to ignore anything that leaves a nonzero chance of both of us being town

[TierShift]

Wait a sec. The mod is either late, or lied to me. My role PMactually states that

both

of us will be notified of the effect. I haven't had a confirmation.

As my action is unblockable, it's very much possible the mod is late.

[TierShift]

Assuming you are town somehow, let's put our suspicions of each other aside for a moment and figure out what the fuck is going on.

[pieguyn]

@_@

there's a few ways I can think of your action would have failed without you getting blocked. to name one off the top of my head, commutifier. I used Psychic last night, so it doesn't have anything to do with my role.

(incidentally, if I had decided not to confirm me/Seo having this ability, my other ability would have solved this immediately. -.-)

[pieguyn]

in the meantime, care to respond to 1611 and/or explain your read trajectory on me? I'd like an answer for the 3rd paragraph in particular. "it doesn't matter at this point" is not a valid answer.

[TierShift]

Seeing how perish song works in the games, I think I would have suicided should I have targeted an ascetic/commuting/untargettable player.

[TierShift]

Sure I'll respond, I just want it to be clear to the other players

to not vote until my night action is solved and not let any discussion overtake my night action

[TierShift]

overnight I had reason to believe everyone was town besides TS

That's how I felt about you and maybe formerfish. Weird NK, btw.

also don't really get why you're calling me not being proactive a scum tell when you saw me lurk an entire day phase in GIF's micro (including being reluctant to read like a 20 page game bc I was that lazy) and when I've demonstrated I can be proactive as scum

In my memory, you were very active in your townperiod and very inactive in your scumperiod (I culted pieguyn, ftr). Was that wrong?
Now that I think of it, you did lurk almostcas hard as I day 1....lol my memory.

Anyway, to start explaining how I got to you-scum, I need to explain all the thoughts that went through my head during the night, looking for a target.

Let's first establish this: if I'm town and have the perish song ability that I speak of, it's in my very best interest to have used on the preceding night. It would confirm to my target that I have the perish song ability and as a consequence am town, as the last scum will never suicide bomb someone else. It also gives town an extra opportunity to remove a scummy person (do the maths). It somehow didn't go as planned, but well.

[Flames682]

The mod could be late as I did not get my result last night, but it also could mean my action didn't go through for some reason.
