Hold up I need to check something

[Skygazer]

tried to check texcat because low odds of being night killed

got "no result" rather than a "can't communicate" type of thing so

[Skygazer]

rb'd/ascetic?

[Skygazer]

i think i'm a good pl today because i apparently couldn't clear myself and i dont want paranoia about my slot to set in in lylo

but considering there's only one scum left Havo is cleared whether I'm telling the truth or fakeclaiming

[Gamma Emerald]

Ok so Traffic Analyst gets a negative on final mafia
That explains the kill choice
And the blocked claim if true tells us mafia have an rb, which makes sense as a lone mafia PR as mafia RB is considered strong in normals

[texcat]

rb'd/ascetic?

I'm vanilla town, so it wasn't due to me. The two dead mafia were both goons. So, it makes sense that the one remaining might have some powers.

VOTE: Gamma

[Gamma Emerald]

I don’t think Brian steers towards Nauci THAT hard btw as scum
So it’s between Tex and Sky for me

[Brian Skies]

Texcat, did you get any confirmation of Sky visiting you last night?

[texcat]

No, I did not.

[Brian Skies]

Mafia must specify which member is performing the factional kill each night.

A mafia member may not both kill and use a power role in the same night by default.

^This is from the normal games page on the Wiki. I also confirmed with the mod that it's still the standard for normal games.

I can't see it being anyone other than tex or Sky, so I want to take Sky up on her offer and lynch her today.

VOTE: Sky

[Skygazer]

me flipping town doesnt automagically make textcat scum, I received no result which means texcat is either an ascetic or there's a multitasking roleblocker

in either case texcat would not have been visited by me

[Brian Skies]

Who do you think is scum, Sky?

[texcat]

Just because it's the standard default, doesn't mean that it has to be that way, does it? It seems to me that I've seen PMs that said you can't use a power and kill unless you are the only remaining scum.

[texcat]

Mafia, by default, may no longer kill and use an ability in the same night. Previously, the mod would have to specify this. The multitasking modifier has been added to keep this option open, without adding an extra often-meaningless step of forcing mods to specify whether or not mafia may kill and act in the same night.

Multitasking is possible in a normal.

[Brian Skies]

I'm not part of the NRG, and this is the first Normal game I've played in a while and definitely the first since they starting making changes to the Normal Game Guidelines, so I cannot answer to this.

I will concede that 'multitasker' is a modifier that has been whitelisted.

However, generally speaking, when a rule is considered to be the standard, then it should be reasonable for players to assume that is the case unless the moderator says otherwise. And after asking him about it, he did tell me that the rule still applies to the game.

Now, could there be a 'multitasking roleblocker'? Sure, but how does that fit into a game with a confirmed fruit vendor and a second 'loud role'?

I also really did not like the way she ignored Gamma/Nauci yesterday and flipped her read on me the instant I voted for Nauci. She also gave a lot of the speculation as a sort of defense of Nauci, so I'm highly skeptical of the situation we're in since it feels set up to me.

[texcat]

A traffic analyst makes so much sense in this setup with the masons though.

[Brian Skies]

It does!

Which does lead me to another point in terms of balance considering we already flipped two goons. However, I don't really want to go into that since setup balance is not my thing.

What would your read on her be independently of her claim?
