Neither do I, but I only participate in massclaims via popcorn method.

It's policy.

It's also more informational than some drummed up list.

i'm fine whatever method popcorn is fine

Can somebody walk me through why we would not have a TA since redtea was a gated vig?

Weak/Loyal/Disloyal, I'd understand, but Complex just told him whether the player is PR/Vanilla.

Would 2 power roles that can both give false positives not be the rough equivalent of 1 actually useful investigational role?

Why would a Mafia TA need a false positive (cool cookie)?

Oh, to offset the neighbors, perhaps?

On who. You? Your claim was extremely suspicious and I don't feel like it fits into the game. I don't think I've seen roleblockers in minis so why should I think there is one here?

I mean I agree, but I'm not sure why you would assume that it's a real claim instead of made up.

It certainly can be useful, but that's not the problem.

What use does Town have for being able to find Neighbors? TA can find scum, sure, but Neighbor Finder has no real town use, and the fact that both Neighbors are BP just seems more helpful for scum to find than town.

I am however willing to listen to a town case for a Neighbor Finder given the context of our Neighbors being BP in a set up that is confirmed to have a BP Traitor.

Neighbor finder sounds useless as either alignment to me. People claim that anyway

PT Cop is a new role to me. It didn't exist when I was here last.

I don't know the intracacies and full utility of it.

A method of testing claims, perhaps? That doesn't confirm alignment, though. The other half of his role is more useful for that, if he's town.

IDK. :/

Also why wasn't T3 blocked? We already think he's fake claiming, but if he's town why would scum risk not blocking him in case he is actually fake claiming and has a more substantial PR?

To put it another way, if I was scum and T3 was town, I don't start randomly blocking other people. It's just such an unnecessary risk.

I recommend everyone else think through that hypothetical situation themselves. If you're scum and T3 is town, do you really risk not blocking him Night 2?

Because it's a dumb claim to make up?

If T3 had only claimed TA, then sure maybe it is made up, but PT Cop actually works him.

I don't see why he would fake that.

How is it a PT cop? That checks if you're in a PT at all and no combination of ta and neighbor can do that

Roleblockers are rare and very strong so if there is one it might be gated

Why would he claim blocked n2 but not n3 if he's lying when claiming to be blocked again n3 would be more believable?

The fact it makes him look worse than maintaining a blocked claim actually gives it credibility, to me. *shrug*

It gives the impression you're faking and afraid to specify lest you be CC'd. IF you're Towm you're dead already, unless you can convince a protective to be on you, and I doubt anyone will be convinced by "I'm an investigative"

Odd Night Traffic Analyst Even Night Neighbor Finder

Sorry, I misremembered.

PT Cop, neighbor finder, they look the same to me because both roles are new to me.

I don't disagree too much with this.

That's kind of my point, it's only half useful for town if true.

A scum team that has only has two mafia and a gated role blocker sounds odd. But I can't judge balance here.

I've seen odd-night strongman and a traffic analyst with a traitor which is weaker to me than anything with a roleblocker
