bp isn't as I've explained and going after him for his claim is kind of dumb

4 power roles isn't a crazy unheard of amount; it's average
4PRs is balanced only if scum have at least two full blown power roles.

Jailkeeper + Watcher + BP+<redacted> is flipping insane.

With scum flipping a one shot in a 10-3 game there is no way both Manuel and redacted are town or this game is unbalanced as fuck.

sure they could have. Rarely is anything ever a stone-cold lock in mafia. But the most likely answer is that the guy targetting the dead guy is the killer.

That combined w/ the fact that that absorbing scums kill doesn't normally work is more than enough for me to not consider a scenario in which infinity could have been town.

In newbie Matrix 9 JK + 1 shot BP is balanced by unlimited shot Roleblocker.

The fact both PR claims died and two outstanding means scum don't have a roleblocker.

This means scum weak power which necessitates scum in remaining PR claims.

Back to work for me. But that setup you proposed Dunn is weak as fuck against two unlimited shot PRs.

Explain how Manuel is "clearly town aligned" when his claimed role doesn't fit within the given setup. All he did toward the end of day yesterday is try to impede the infinity lynch.

I can confirm that I am not scum.

@Dongempire I have to disagree with you for that, I don't believe JarJar is scum, and I am most certainly NOT shitposting.

Went back and ISOed Infinity to try and see what he did, and I feel pretty comfortable that JarJar + S_S is Town.

Either Manuel or Dunnstral is scum though, and given the outrageous about of Town power, I'm inclined to lynch Manuel.

Mathblade, I don't think you can draw any useful conclusions from setup spec while so much is unknown about the scum power. I personally think the setup would be balanced by a goon and either a roleblocker or a ninja/strongman JOAT (though I do agree that Dunnstral's idea is a bit harsh in that it provides scum absolutely no protection against the Watcher).

Ignoring logic OMFG!!!?!!!!!
In post 1694, JarJarDrinks wrote:Infinity is still scum for @ least the following reasons:
- Absorber cannot absorb the mafias kill therefore he is lying
- Gamma didnt see anyone else target therefore he is lying
That is as logical as can possibly be bro. Infinity was proven to be lying therefore he is clearly scum.

YOU were the one that ignored logic to hard-defend scum.

If you're town Dunn then you need to swallow your pride and realize that you played like an idiot yesterday.

I'm gonna reread and will likely be posting a case against S_S today.
I want to see this actually

because I was thinking that there's a chance you might be lynchbait and that I'd have to watch for that today, but this should make it pretty clear whether or not that is the case.
OK just in case anyone is wondering how to read this, here's what S_S is saying to me:

"You better not push my lynch because I'm gonna jump on your wagon if you do."


But I'm gonna save you some time here. There is no point in trying to determine if I'm lynchbait. I've played in around 15 games on this site and have NEVER been lynched. There's never even been anythng resembling a real wagon on me. I can guarantee you that nobody that has ever played mafia with me would ever call me lynchbait.
Do you think that I could have realistically expected you to NOT push my lynch? Given the lack of support for your lynch thus far, do you think I would expect such a veiled threat to effectively deter you from pushing me?

:!: Potential JarJar partner found. @Xnadroj why do you think that your reads on me and JarJar are better than either of our reads on each other? What about Infinity's ISO makes you so sure neither of us could be his partner? Why does either Manuel or Dunnstral have to be scum?

Universal Roleblocker is out for scum would have roleblocked Gamma and killed someone else unless his reads are right and he was killed for that and a PR is a coincidence.

Which brings us back to voting Manuel.

So universal roleblocker is unlikely.

Therefore it doesn't make sense for all this town power. I have faith you will understand.

It's impossible for manuel to randomly fakeclaim in the middle of the day! He's just a newbie who got trapped by Dunnstral's speculation.

You know as well as I do that the Normal Game Aristocracy give excessive town-aligned roles because the players are so incompetent...
