yes, moderator, sorry typed too quickly. like, i know what an innocent child is but a day zero one i've not seen before. it is unusual enough that i wondered if the moderator was known for weird roles
This line of questioning seems pointless.

In theory, at least. Debatable how well it accomplishes that in practice. Does the response tell you anything?

Skimming through our moderator's topics, I found his last two Normal games had a d1 Innocent Child. Though I'm sceptical on how much value we get from discussing this in depth right now.
Hmm, I doubt you would do that to get towncred as scum. Either you would wait with this info few days or keep it for yourself. IMO it is valuable. Yeah you are Town.
I can't see this as a real read. Elaborate? If it's been covered I'll get there in a second.

i hope my later explanation of where i was coming from makes it more understanable why i was checking it out.

Why
it happens to me more than non-zero times a game that later on i sit there and have to ask people what claims there have been in the game. so i've tried to do this a little in my recent games to keep on top of claims so i don't need to investigate through 80 pages late on.

no..i was just trying to point out to alicek that their logic has already broken down as kayzan has said they have a role of some sort.
though i hadn't considered that kayzan could have been scum

It didn't seem random, considering it was made after some discussion and after you quoted post from Kyouko.
In post 121, geraintm wrote:Then game isn't balanced.kayzan has already said they have a PR
No, they said they have a role, not necessarily a power one. Learn to read.

I hate a lot of what geraintm has posted so far. However, it feels almost too blunt to be coming from Scum. It could be refuge in audacity, but I somehow feel it's more likely geraintm here genuinely thinks he's helping the Town by discussion the Innocent Child and keeping track of claims and whatnot. This play coming from scum would have to be some major playing dumb. Anyone have experience with Scum!geraintm and whether he's capable of this?

That said, please do the note taking about roles in private. Calling out potential power role softs to the whole thread (including Scum) is a horrible way to play Town.

VOTE: Ythan

I'm not sure I like Ythan's entrance into the game. Most of his posting so far focuses on geraintm, and it feels like he's purposefully trying to paint his posts in a scummy manner. seems to be doing that, and I'm not sure I'd expect from Town. The explanation for geraintm's fixation on the Innocent Child seems reasonable to me, and Ythan plainly dismissing it makes me think Ythan might be Scum attacking the Townie that's doing silly things.

I am also getting scumpings on one other person, though I'd like to see them post more before I say something.

@nathan - i wouldnt put anything in here about me spotting anyone hinting about any roles, just full on claimed ones. i'm not that dim.

oh, the random vote was the way i always do it, i pick a number and vote that many posts after.

kayzan - you are picking holes then with the difference between "role" and "power role" - i consider any non Vanilla town role a Power role.

this is day 1 - i promise you you will hate nearly everything i post today.

They said they had a role. That doesn't imply it's a power role.

Confirmed Town
:
Jolyne (duh)

Townread
:
ssbm_Kyouko (actual attempts to solve the game without trying to cover her butt. Town wants to be right; this is what Kyo is doing)

Townlean
:
Nixie (trying to guide the conversation somewhere useful instead of letting a not-very-talkative town waste their time)
Nathann (gut read--his actions aren't obviously town, but I get a vibe)
geraintm (I think this guy is just a goober, not flailing scum.)

Null
:
Ythan (Coming out with a scumread does seem Ythan!town-y. Could also be trying to Rush Posting as scum, since that's what we all learned from NQN)

"Pls post" Pile
:
Andresvmb
DGB
MargotRose

Scumlean
:
Alice (stilted, fake-seeming communication style)
GrandpaMo (gut read; don't take this too seriously because I'm garbage at scumhunting)

Scumread
:
Dwlee99 (There's a lot of gags and a few opinions in Dwlee's ISO, but zero solvy energy, despite apparently having a strong townread. Picking on Ythan feels opportunistic.)
Locked
