Ghostlin: There are MANY more powerful abilities and players (no offense to pappums) who would have made better N1 kill targets. A one-shot delayed public davyig is NOT a very powerful role. And I stand by my statement that a delayed vig D1 is a terrible idea, because it gives us zero early-game benefit like a D1 lynch does, and it is no better-informed than a D1 lynch is.
Not a single person has even bothered to actually refute this point with any semblance of logic
, yet people (like kondi and you) keep asserting that using it D1 is a good idea. Slandaar, too, IIRC.
In fact, that pappums was even killed speaks an awful lot to the composition of this scumteam. They obviously felt that the one-shot vig was enough of a threat that it needed killed.
Tierce: I am also uncomfortable with the degree of flip-flop you've made on Ghostlin, but I wanted to hear from him first. I'll come out and say it, instead of any of this beating around the bush: Right now, I don't believe you have a damning/informative result on Ghostlin. The biggest beef I have with him is the manner in which he focused on kondi D1, and his positioning on the wagon/lynch. There WERE 1-2 scums on it (likely 2), and those slots probably come from [Slandaar, Ghostlin, Malee] (unless Tierce/Ghostlin are gambiting here).

EBWOP: Thinking on it, the pappumskill defiintely points to Slandaar and Ghostlin, because obviously they kept trying to convince me that using the kill D1 was a good idea, simply because it's a kill not controlled by scum. If either of them were the force behind the scum's nightkill, pappums becomes the top kill choice.

Because I'd completely announce my intentions for the bomb to get used and kill the bomb as an object lesson for you all because I was completely terrified of it. That's WIFOM. I was more concerned of an opportunity being passed up and getting more information from Pappums day/nightkill.
It's also worth noting, even though I'll just come out and say I didn't execute the Pappum's kill, that the kill flavor is completely different than the other kill executed that night.

The attitude of the scums who killed pappums is consistent with the opinions you've expressed in the thread. That's not WIFOM; it's a logical argument.

EBWOP: But since you complained about "the opportunity being passed up," I'll ask you the exact same question I asked Slandaar D1. Do you always use one-shot abilites D1/N1 because of the remote possibility you MIGHT be nightkilled?

Yes. Examples of this are Secret Society Mafia, where I did use my Vig Kill of my JoAT night 1, and at least one other game where I shot Etherial Cookie and claimed it. (I always claim my NK as a limited shot Vig).
Why? A vig kill can tell you a lot about the player using it, and if you target someone that's not in the eye, sometimes you can catch inactive scum that way.

I think vig kills,
especially
limited-shot vig kills, should be used when you are most likely to hit scum. Getting killed without using it is generally better than making a poor kill choice on a protown player. It's obvious we have differing philosophies on the matter, but this difference in opinion does confirm my belief that as scum, you would value a PappumsKill over any other kill choice last night.

It's still WIFOMIC, particularly since from a third party observer's stand point, you could be scum making the precise reasoning and set up the pappum's kill for this precise reason. More so since I'm really not convinced that PR was killed by a scum team.

Also, some self-meta for Ghostlin. If I'm scum, I don't kill a claimed one-shot vig. I convince the vig to kill a protown player. I'd be hunting REAL power roles if I were scum.
My opinion of your kill choice is a standard conclusion drawn from observations. Your only defense is to try to turn it into WIFOM, and that isn't going to work on me, especially considering you were already on my list BEFORE I decided that the pappumskill pointed to you.

Where is this 'list' you mention Day 1, you didn't voice suspicion of me that I saw on my read-through of the first day. You did voice suspicion of other players, Day 1, so that's a matter of record, but you've said you think I'm scum with little previous onerous as to why except I thought we could get an extra lynch through the bomb and I somewhat disagreed with the 'don't use the bomb' posts you made Day 1 (I thought that PR might of died with the bomb)?
Why did you accuse Tierce of flip-flopping from her read on me Day 1 when you yourself are creating a scum read you've never shown interest in previous to this point?
Why are you presuming that Disappeared equals Town Vig, and not SK? Do you believe scum had more than one kill last night?
To the other people on this wagon: Examine the reasoning that Glork and Tierce is putting in front of you. One of them is using the WIFOM that I might of eliminated a kill I couldn't control as scum as their sole reasoning, and they've both mysteriously had reasons arise that I'm scum.

Kill coming from an SK doesn't change the fact that the kill still implicates you/Slandaar. I'm well aware that there's a decent chance you're an SK. I assumed you were talking about a vigkill, because talking about an SK kill
DOESN'T FUCKING CHANGE THE FACT THAT IT MAKES YOU MORE LIKELY TO BE SCUM

At start of day (Post 9), I said you/Malee were the play. It wasn't until Post 26 that I thought "hmm, kill implicates Ghostlin/Slandaar." I never said anything about having a list D1, champ. But I DID voice suspicion of you before the nightkill thing came up.
And this:
Ghostlin wrote:One of them is using the WIFOM that I might of eliminated a kill I couldn't control as scum as their sole reasoning, and they've both mysteriously had reasons arise that I'm scum.
is a blatant misrepresentation. In Post 25, I flatly stated that I didn't like the focus you put on Kondi or the manner in which you hopped his wagon. I even RESTATED that you were a target of mine BEFORE the kill reasoning.

I went from calling him town on a rushed vengekill reaction on D1 to calling him scum on D2. This is not flip-flopping, it's pretty standard procedure when you have a night result, and overnight 180s are perfectly normal due to flips. What on earth, Glork.

I heavily implied I had an incriminating result on you. I've seen town reacting to false-guilty results on them from people they believe are town.1 You believe I'm town (even worse, you use the wording "I
you're town"), so I'd have no reason to lie. There are a number of reasons that could cause me to actually have an unreliable result in a mini theme, but instead you immediately called me a liar ("you're blowing smoke out of your ass" and "you're obviously incredibly talking out of both sides of your mouth")
while still calling me town
.
Town who is false-guiltied by someone they believe is town usually goes "wtf is going on".1 You called me a liar, made no mention of the possibility I was gambiting, made no mention of sanities being in play. And still named me town.
This is what MoI would call cognitive dissonance, scum.

kondi in #177 wrote:Look, there are two reasons I want the bomb:
1. I'll likely be lynched if I don't get it, and would like a chance of scum dying today.
2. I want pappams to prove his role.
1 is an AtE and pretty bad reasoning--if you're town, you have more a reason to scumhunt and maximize the dual lynch possibility, also we don't know much about the bomb yet--pappums, you need to get in here and explain about when the bomb detonates, if it's passable, does it end the day if the bomb goes off, etc. If the bomb ends the day that that's not happening. If it's passable, then there's no guarantee it'll end up where we want it. If it doesn't detonate until Day 3 then we're not getting maximum utility out of it (but we might as well use it now).
2 makes me go 'Why?'. If this is a fake claim of a one shot kill, scum will get rid of it mostly because they don't control it and the longer the game drags the more likely scum will be left of the prisoner's dilemma of getting rid of a powerful Town one-shot role they know about or ridding them of a player that has the chance to be dangerous in the Day.
This is arguing just to prove that kondi was wrong in his reasoning. It's the kind of arguing that scum does--not to understand someone's alignment, but to win an argument.

At any rate, an SK is more concerned about a Vig than any other role ability (unless they are NK-immune). I think it's an avenue worth pursuing.
