Don't care, both are obv-scum at this stage.
i think that's where we're going regardless of your flip. If you're scum, I could definitely see them thinking a big bus on you today might be a good play for them (it wouldn't, but that doesn't matter
). Definitely get the vibe from Hoopla that she is on the ropes here.

You made a poor choice with your nightactions, and everything you say here only further shows your twisted PoV on the matter.
Do not consider what anyone else says for a moment, and tell me two things.

Here:
Thus, the entire thing was turned into WIFOM, regardless of what the scum want you to believe.

No, you've misread it and thus you are barking up the wrong tree. MY protection was what was spoke about. You claiming I "believed Agar would be protected" is either ignorance or lying. notscience brought it up, clear as day in the thread, making me have to gamble where the scum would go. If I target Agar and get literally no information because they rightfully went elsewhere, then I can guarantee, right now, that I'd get jumped on by notscience regardless.

Both would lead to Hoopla and notscience trying to get me lynched. They have been obviously trying to lynch me from day 1, yet have provided no actual scum hunting to do it. Hoopla uses bullshit that she comes up with that blatantly doesn't work, and can be twisted to suit her needs (A PR should not be at the forefront of town, making huge announcements and calling people out day 1, because they want to use the PR, so calling people out for being lurkers and then pushing them to be lynched, while deliberately ignoring certain people, and not taking into consideration anything else... yeah, that's not town behaviour).
As for the last bit... you don't believe maths? Like... you are literally saying that with 3 people they should be hitting, that gives a 33% chance to hit scum? You then don't believe that with me not being able to target myself that reduces the chances too?
Scum believe me to be an easy mislynch (the way you lot are playing today... that is blindingly obvious as an outcome, so I hope you will focus on trying to actually hit scum tomorrow for a change). So I was bound to be kept alive. I'll be kept alive until late game because if I nail scum they will merely call me a liar regardless, this much we know, and then people will seemingly believe them, and not the power role that was outed, and has proven to actually be that power role.

No ifs , no buts. If you are town you should have been on agar regardless of what anyone said during the last day.
And I think it is interesting that scum would be bold enough to try and kill agar over you. If you are town then I would have run into serious risk of getting guiltied.
The highest risk role to scum last night was you. And if you were not scum. Then scum would know that. Thus they would know 2.5 of the town roles. And I really don't think they would take the greater risk of guitied by known pr over there kill failing trying to kill you.
When a combo of roleblocker, doc, and watcher would be highly unlikely.

I'm starting to believe that Prana is just VI and not scum because the scum motivations for this move are becoming ever increasingly small. At the same time, the town motivations for this move are also very small.

Why doesn’t he fake a watcher guilty? Towns only had one mislynch they’d still need one more to win- they probably don’t think they are in a safe enough space to.
I think occams, hiraki. Yes I could see a world in which he is town and left alive for days, but the night actions make absolutely no sense.

Something that could fit this is traitor (which I am not saying is definite just something that crosses my mind) as to why he wouldn’t.
Or his buddy is liable to get wagoner after this through Poe.

there's a small part of me paranoid about this, because faking a guilty on a townie to eke out one more mislynch before he goes down seems like the obvious scumplay. maybe he was naive enough to think he could talk his way through a wifom defense, and didn't need to resort to a fake guilty?

Do you think we should consider mass claiming?
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2020 1:31 am
by Hiraki
But see the later seems a little more advanced for a VI. He would also guarantee death for tomorrow or scum is now plotting to leave him alive, if we leave him alive. But if you think down that far, then you're also going into the territory that now Prana doesn't know how to effectively use his PR ability, is an easy opportunistic mislynch if he's not scum, and basically serves no usefulness for the town.
At the end, I think this is a necessary lynch before any LYLO shenanigans if he is town and a win if he is scum. I think I am settled again.

massclaim is a tactic to gain more insight, and improve lynching odds immediately with PoE. this comes at the expense of the value hidden PR's offer. we already have prob-scum painted in a corner. massclaim isn't really improving lynching odds today, so what are we gaining?
tomorrow makes more sense for massclaim.

No. You are trying to give WIFOM way too much priority here.
They killed AGar because there was a real risk of missing a second nightkill in a row.
Assuming you are town, their only risk was you targeting AGar, WHICH YOU SHOULD'VE DONE.
Which leads to my second question, and your poor answer to it.
Why am I confirmed town?
What about a scenario where Flippy is a scum!fruit-vendor and the Gunsmith-talk is either nonsense or makes no difference?
Scumteam of Flippy-Una-Klick was theoretically still possible, until we heard today that Flippy now has a second result as well, and that makes at least one of us certainly town.
But you didn't KNOW that before today, did you?
In fact, we had only ONE conf.town before this day-phase, and that was AGar FROM THE MOMENT Klick flipped red.
AND I WANT EVERYONE TO PAY ATTENTION HERE.
Scum might've missed another nightkill tonight no matter what.
Unless I'm mistaken, AGar could've technically saved themself with a well-targeted block last night anyway?
AND there was the added CERTAINTY that Prana will catch whoever does the kill, because they'd be watching.
So unless scum had a roleblocker on Prana AND AGar, we would've possibly survived another night without a kill and/or gotten a guilty.
SO WHAT MAKES MATTERS EVEN WORSE FOR PRANA?
Prana claims to have gotten a result. No one visited me last night.
Meaning that scum didn't roleblock Prana.
Meaning that scum risked missing a kill + GETTING GUILTIED in the process.
Prana is not a town!Watcher because their perspective is totally flawed in this matter.
And even if they are, refusing to be leashed on the only target that mattered last night gives enough room for doubt for the rest of the game.
And THAT is the WIFOM-part of it all - leaving Prana alive based on their claim.
