Ok this one part does stick out because like 4 people have done this with me today. BBT does it at the same time Gibus does!

I even remarked at just how weird it felt at the time.


The argument in general... Isn't great, actually. The response is comical. The interesting thing I had noted about Elsa, the "easy answer" I alluded to that I wouldn't hand before:


#1302 is the first time he mentions Elsa the entire second day, but he only ever builds more of an argument on her in #1380 and #1535. The town potential here is he was still working out an argument against her, much like I did. I could see town here not jumping on the vote so soon.

Then #1587 just looks.. Bad no matter how you look at it. Half of the post says nothing or is simply a poor explanation, the other half is shading for a weird reason or rehash. I do think Toffee's vote on Gibus was rushed (as were all of Toffee's votes), but he's also ignoring that Alex was on Toffee with him but realized the vote just wasn't going anywhere. It feels like a disconnect from both the game and the sense that he was actually building up on Elsa. The vote itself just came out flat.

What the crap does this mean?

Um also

Combined
Combined is a role modifier intended for use primarily in Normal Games on mafiascum.net.

Normal Guidelines
Combined is a modifier under Normal Game guidelines used to clarify the usage for players with multiple roles. A Combined role necessarily performs all of its constituent actions on the single player it targets each night.

Examples:

A Combined Tracker Doctor can target only one player each Night. They will protect their target from death as well as track their target.
A Multitasking Tracker Doctor can target up to two players each Night. They may choose separate targets to track and to protect in a single night, or they may choose to use both abilities on a single player.
A Tracker Doctor (not Combined or Multitasking) can target only one player each Night, and with only one role. Each night the player must choose to track another player or to protect another player.

That claim isn't on this list. Aren't normal roles standardized?

I can protect and check the same person every night

What does it mean to "Check" someone?

Learns if the target had a successful action (Gibus can correct if I'm wrong)

May I enquire as to who you targeted last night Gibus?

Yes yes I wikied that too.

But I wanted him to answer before I said it out loud.

Oops my b

Actually your interpretation seems wrong anyway.

From what it looks like, Checker only Checks to see if it was roleblocked when committing another action. It doesn't look like an action that's specifically relevant on another player. It specifically says the Checker provides no useful information about the target.

But you brought up the Wiki page anyway so...

So we killed a detective D1 and outed doctor D2.

We've got like 15 hours left.

P-edit: oh, I misread then. Gibus, please clarify exactly what you do

And that's precisely why I wanted him to answer. I wanted to see if he'd get lazy and treat Checker like a role that actually has a relevant effect on it's target because it would indicate he was lying if he did.

Don't feed people who are claiming information about their claim. You make them give the information themselves.

The fact that he hasn't posted in 9 minutes anyway bothers me though.

...Not enough to kill him, but it bothers me.

Cres.
I didn't receive a no result.

VOTE: Elsa

P-edit; "Combined doctor checker" is an incredibly specific thing to fake claim and I would be very surprised if it's fake but I take your point

Also Gibus is very much indicating scum has a roleblocker with his claim. If we assume there's just 2 scum and the traitor, it makes sense that scum would have more power on it. I actually still have no idea if the assumption is 2+1 or 3+1. Though.... 4 scum in 13 with vig would have the possibility of ending REALLY fast. You could be at lylo on day 2! So I guess 2+1 with some high powered scum makes sense, hence his indication that scum has a roleblocker with his claim also makes sense of a sort.

The early Elsa train on day 1 was probably right... And the votes were Gibus, Eira, and... A third person I don't remember offhand. Alex?

I've seen even more specific fakeclaims! Scrutiny is a good thing~

The wagon that was on Elsa D1?

That was me.

Agree that it's probably 2 scum + 1 traitor.

I think Elsa is the play. If wagon grows on BBT I will move there, but with a bit over half a day left, it's not happening.

Just giving it a moment of actual thought there, balance wise it actually has to be. You can't have any possibility of a day 2 lylo in a 13 player game. No one should approve such a setup after review.

Wanna hear something fun? Elsa's last post is the post before Gibus claimed.

Considering I'm a [Redacted]-Enabler Bodyguard, you should probably not vote me either.

How we get two people ready to claim Protectives day 2 is the miracles of RNG.

Why did you do this?

Because if I claimed Bodyguard in a later post then immediately after someone claimed Doctor I would be called a liar.

I come back from YouTube and see that shit.

I would say I echo this sentiment. I'm less on the "automatically give BBT a night" as I was before, though.

This feels like a "scum was blindsided by this claim" kind of moment. Anyways, Elsa's wagon (the 3 of us if Gibus comes back) is almost certainly clean, and Gibus either has 2 scum on him or Gibus/Vivax is split 1/1. No way is this Gibus train pure. I feel like scum's been fighting for this train all day.
