oh apparently I was the only one who saw that immediately and kept quiet to see if there would be any interesting reactions.

Do you think it's within Ydrasse's scum range to fake that slip?
No i’m dumb and can only try to fake pt slips :p

Sure!

As a scum tracker!

It makes sense "you made an elaborate claim that seemed to indicate you had significant power. you made it very clear that you would be revealing your role by d4" would be worth tracking
as a scum tracker
.

But you know what a town tracker would want to do with their role?

TRACK THE SCUM WHO HAVE MULTIKILLS.

I mean possible but unlikely; scum would have reason to believe they'd be wasting their roleblock on me.
Then how do you explain the no result? If Fire had a role that would cause your action to fail, he would not have needed to worry about your 'guilty' whatsoever

Like, from your POV right now, is Fire a mafia ascetic tracker? You're making multiple leaps of logic at the same time and I don't think you can feasibly jump that far

Mastina. That is not Fire's claim.

his claim is that if he targetted the scum who did the night kill, his only result would have been : Your target did an action last night

And he would have no way to know if it was a town pr, scum pr, or 3 night kills.

The town is too weak to have the scum have anything ungated like a full roleblocker, full rolecop, etc. So anything they have is going to be incredibly gated--a 1x roleblocker, or a role that isn't able to directly mess with the town's strength but can do so indirectly--ascetic, commuter, or rolestopper. (Keep in mind a scum rolestopper is significantly weaker than a town rolestopper, the same way a town roleblocker is significantly weaker than a scum roleblocker.)
how do you know how much total power town has?
You said it yourself; the balance is likely 2:1 or so PR:vanilla.

But every one of those non-vanilla roles is heavily gated NOT ONLY by percentages punishing them from extensive use, NOT ONLY by stronger roles having high percentages that in many cases stack after each use (meaning each role is, effectively, likely 1x), but ALSO by them having gates ON TOP OF those punishing percentage mechanics making each role likely to fire only once and giving scum extra kills.

Ergo, the scum roles MUST all be fairly weak. No ungated rolecop, no ungated roleblocker, etc.
A scum rolestopper fits; a scum ascetic fits. If so they would be the only strong scum PR.

Setup spec supports a scumteam of:
{Ircher as a looks-town role, Rolestopper/Ascetic for defense, Tracker for investigating, probably-goon to do kills}.

Tell me that doesn't sound like a probable setup to you.

I'm gonna go to bed now and I'm gonna be mad if anyone makes any irreversible decisions while I sleep

This whole mechanics fiasco has distracted me from how the Roden wagon ended but I was annoyed at that too tbh

If it's a role that passively causes no results in that way then fire would have had no reason to fear a guilty because it would have been impossible
An unclaimed town ascetic claiming only after being investigated on D3?

How well do you think that'd work out for fire?

It's either scum ascetic tracker or scum tracker with a scumbuddy rolestopper on him.

For the exact same reason I know jjh is town and knew Ircher was scum and know Roden is scum.

So, yes, it is a form of TMI, but in this case originating from town. The town who have paid attention that are in the know, are in the know and basically are a gigantic masonry as far as I'm concerned. {Vivax, jjh, Something_Smart, PenguinPower} is a pool which never contains scum if I'm right, here.

jjh probably knows what I know. He may or may not agree, mind you, but he probably sees what I am seeing at least.

You and PenguinPower, if I am right, might be able to figure it out, too. But obviously, the less said, the better, because I don't want to give anything away which would let scum infiltrate the holy masonry.
mastina can you explain this yet? especially since you were wrong about Roden
Oh do you really want me to?

If you insist.

You're scum or a PR, period.

There's no way you're a VT in this game and if you claim VT I'm instavoting you.

Yeah; the OP tells you how scum roles work. Scum don't have productivity at all. It's only town.

Ircher's flip also shows that.

I mean. I suspected that you thought this but I was hoping it wasn't the only thing here. How does that tie in to Roden or jjh? And how is that something that I "might be able to figure out"?

(You are free to not answer if you think the answer is detrimental to the town.)
