He is talking about dixc. transcend and dixc both claimed n2 cop. dixc flipped as cop.

But in this setup, it's possible to randomly get 2 n2 cops, so this isn't really definitive.

What does picking the same person have anything to do with it?

Look it's N1 you as a doctor save ANYONE.

Day 2, ranger announces she saved person X and that is why there was no kill.

As a town doctor, from your POV, there are two possibilities here: ranger is truthful, but she thinks she saved person X when the scum could have been trying kill person Y. you would claim doc and announce who you saved, and ultimately neither X or Y would be 100% confirmed, because town doesn't know which one was the kill target.

Alternatively, ranger could be scum. In this case, you would still want to counter claim, scum@!ranger could be pulling the gambit because of your save (thus your target is confirmed town) or, extremely unlikely IMO, scum may have holstered to play a gambit.

So it's not 8% chance of a doctor picking the same person, it's whatever chance that ANY night 1 doctor exists at all. I haven't done the math, but I think it's a pretty high chance (but obviously not 100%). Enough that a scum wouldn't count on there not being one, but not so much that lack of multiple N1 doc claims is a red flag.
I'm not good at statistics, so I'm not going to try an calculate the probability out...don't necessarily agree that it's a pretty high chance. Also, this is the way that YOU would play it. Not everyone would, so don't try and make it seem like an absolute.

Ranger gets a pass today. No killing and claiming doc is an unlikely opening gambit. As I noted before, I do see it as a possibility with Ranger, but today we should be keeping it simple and voting out of those who haven't been involved in claims at all.

You actually aren't *that* suspicious, but the issue is that I have to trust you to also trust penguin. Lynching you would kill two birds with one stone, in that either you flip scum, or you flip town and penguin is confirmed.

I don't feel the same about the other confirmed town, because your claim is easier to fake than rangers, for example (which required a no kill & no counterclaim).

In this setup, the power roles only get one shot. Once you use your power, there is no real incentive to hide. If a n1doc is killed on n2, it's actually good for town because it means a power role on a later night might survive to use his power.

So I don't think it's just me, any town n1 doc with incentive to win should have counterclaimed ranger.

I mean, if you think I am wrong, what would the rationalization be for a n1 doc to see ranger's claim and remain silent?

Are you forgetting there can be more than one instance of any role-night? E.g. could be two or more N1 Docs. CCs don't count here, except for counting purposes.

Ranger's claim can be faked because it came after it was already apparent there was no night kill. Even if another N1 Doc claimed to have saved MC as well, it wouldn't disprove Ranger's claim.

I did believe Ranger's claim, btw, but I just got burned by scum!Ranger in another game (as did you!) so I am a bit more wary of her now.

There was a kill n2, your claim doesn't really hold much water.

Though, it does make me curious, anyone done the math to see if it might be worth mass-claiming at this point? I know from the previous incarnation of the setup that it's a bad move to make on day 1, but with so many roles already outed maybe it would help us sort the remaining scum.

LIVING PLAYERS
Ranger - doc n1

SirCakez - ?
MURDERCAT (replaces MurderCat) - ?

karnos - cop n1

Aneninen - ?
Transcend - cop n2

Persivul (replaces drmyshottyizsik) - ?
Chip Butty - doc n2
PenguinPower - doc n3
podoboq - cop n5


Dead Players
Smithereens, Town Cop, was lynched Day 1.
Dunnstral, Town Doctor, was lynched Day 2.
DixC, Town Cop, was killed Night 2.


If all claims are true so far, we have 5 cops and 4 docs. That leaves one town cop or doc, and 3 scum. If the un-claiming players all claimed, it seems like it would be a pro-town result to me.

Actually, if we assume ranger's vouch for murdercat is legit, which I think we should, murdercat should be the LAST claim, as we know and trust he is town. This forces any scum in the unconfirmed players to pick roles before they know for sure what is potentially possible in the setup.

Is there ANY way this could hurt town? Don't start claiming unless the majority think it's a good idea, but a this point I think it makes sense.

Also, important point: no need to claim night. That just gives scum information, and doesn't help with sorting. Just claiming cop or doc is useful.

Yes, it can hurt town if we have cops left. BUT, I tend to think that massclaim might be good at this point. Order should be anen, me/cakez, MC.

Chip's post count is way down from his town game.

In the just completed Open 644, chip made 348 posts in the first 2 game days. In this game, he made 87 in the first two game days.

Looking at it from a RL perspective: those 87 posts were made from 6.18 - 7.14 (my time). In that same period in Open 644, he made 206 posts.

LOL, yeah, not a great decision when you put it that way, but I wouldn't have put more than five seconds' thought into it at the time. Basically just followed Ranger's lead from N1. I can say though that I don't put much store in claims in this setup and maybe that's why I didn't recall their being cop claims on the table. My thought was just to protect the most confirmed Town we had. But, given Dix's flip, I guess you are right and I should have saved Dix.

The overall posting rate in that game was very high, whereas here it was very slow. If you've read through, you will have seen numerous comments from various players to that effect. Also, in Open 644, there were a few prolific posters that i was engaged with (ploben, Dunnstral, PantherPunt), and who I found kind of annoying, which boosted my post rate there. I have been more than happy to cruise in this game a bit since I am (was) playing in an unprecedented (for me) four games and it is clearly too much. I'm spending way more time on this site than I really want to, actually.

If there is a N3 Cop, I'm perfectly happy to be investigated so Persi's mind can be set at rest (assuming he is Town).

Aneninen seemed scummy the previous day, but I gave him a pass as I think he was V/LA. Upon reading his iso i don't see a mention of it, so he should be back, I think? Maybe due for a prod? I don't know. I know it's not popular to attack absente players, but if he isn't V/LA anymore and he hasn't posted for 5 days, something needs to get him back into the game.

SirCakez rubbed me the wrong way with his "dunnstral is town" certainty. And then this-
In post 1309, SirCakez wrote:We just win if we cop/lynch all of Dix/Penguin/Transcend/Aneninen/Persivul
If we trust transcend's claim, we know for a fact that 3/5 of those are town. They could just all be town, or maybe there is one bused scum in the list, but this just reeks of scum trying to push a list that will win them the game, knowing that town can't handle that many miss-lynches.

I'd love to lynch SirCakez today, I think he has the scummiest iso.

Chip- Being in the unconfirmed pile, I would consider voting Chip, but I just don't see the strong case on him. I don't see any of Chip's posts as particularly scummy, and while "posting less" might be a meta clue about something, I think it's probably NAI. If I had time to kill I'd look through chip's completed games to see if there is a pattern, but can't right now

Persivul big part of my read of Persivul comes from how he put his neck out while pushing to hammer dunnstral, I don't see a scum doing that. PoE might require that I revisit my read here, but I'd rather not lynch persivul today. I did get some scum vibes from shotty's play in the slot, but that has completely evaporated, I think it was shotty's play style.

How many of his posts are particularly townie? The charge apart from activity is fence-sitting, and no, fence-sitting posts don't look particularly scummy. That's why it's effective.
