Right, but I think my role definitely had a non-zero chance of basically helping the scum by accident through false positives very quickly. Even at a random pick, I had ok odds of hitting a mason and thinking I had scum. Further, masons had a higher likelihood to get hit simply because they would appear to play like scum to the uninformed majority. Masons aren't going to be worried as much with being associated with each other because they always have the emergency out of claiming. Those associatives could draw a cop investigationIn post 2648, DkKoba wrote:a PR that is part of a 3 man masonry??? thats just fucking strong!YOUR AD HERE- Andresvmb

THIS is why I had the reaction I had to the Claims. Not some dumb perspective slip. I have my doubts about DkKoba as I’ve already explained, but the points about game balance are absolutely correct. It seems ridiculous to me that Town would have a 3-Person Masonry with a Tracker, and a separate PT Cop who could then point out Scum or independently confirm members of a Masonry if they happened to stumble upon them. That’s 4 players that cannot be executed if their Claims ended up all panning out, which here they have. Now, the PT Cop is obviously an actual Role in the game. Now, VPB could theoretically still be Scum. They were forced to claim by a well placed Tracker, and it *could* be the case that VPB isn’t actually the PT Cop but was told the result of a check by the actual Scum PT Cop to help cover his ass (since they were found by the Tracker), which has now been flipped. The only way to sort this is by correctly TK’ing Scum here.In post 2648, DkKoba wrote:i still dont understand why town would get 2 investigatives AND 3 towns confirmed to themselves AND a way for one of the investigatives to hide their claim behind a person who is not the PR themselves.

The way to counter a 3-way Masonry would be by giving the Scum a Role Cop and a PT Cop. Like, I can somewhat see that. And then, a lot of the arguments about why Bob had VPB as a hard Scum start making a lot of sense. Anyway, I also wrote down the following notes on VPB:
924, 952, 1179, 1265 from VPB are bad. Bob’s point in 1269 is reasonable. And 1318 might be why GB was NK’ed.- Andresvmb

Anyway I feel like I’m in tin foil hat territory. VPB is not much better than a 50/50, and the check on Hellbooks is perfectly sensible from my POV. However, I just got out of a game where a player was observed visiting a kill, and the Town made all kinds of excuses as to why that player was Town and they ended up being Scum. We should try and be absolutely certain that we’re not getting this clear wrong.- Andresvmb

i think it's fairly reasonable to assume scum had some sorta way to gain info about billy. and *not* just about billy being a mason (that is, not by *just* a PT cop), because a claimed tracker gets shot over a mason anytime. (not to mention, if the scumteam did have a PT cop who got a positive on billy on night one, there's nothing guaranteeing billy isn't just a neighbor. i don't think any scumteam shoot him just for that over a literal claimed tracker)
and if the scumteam did have some sorta way to find out info about billy (e.g. rolecop), then it's perfectly within balance for town to have both masons and a PT cop. (especially because the PT cop is like 50/50 between getting an actual guilty vs outing a mason. those things are taken into account when game is designed.)
again, if there's anyone else who is town and not a VT, say so immediately. otherwise, all 4 PRs are town, and we go from there.I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”~M- Andresvmb

I thought you had us as both scum. Now it sounds like you think only one of us is scum. Which is it?Andresvmb wrote:Anyway, Alduskkel is voting for me, and is strongly pushing for NPOM as a potential alternative by repeatedly suggesting it’s the slot to flip. One of Alduskkel/NPOM is almost always Scum here, it’s just a matter of getting it right.

Okay so is VPB nearly conftown or just 50/50? Am I really scummy (or are you really townie?) for saying there's a chance that VPB is scum when that's literally what you're saying now?In post 2571, Andresvmb wrote:Ugh you know what I’m not all that inclined to put this much effort into a game if I am going to be accused of doing Scum theater. What kind of idiot do you think I am that I put myself in the tiniest box possible here. Alduskkel is still saying that there’s an outside chance that VPB is Scum. C’mon now.

If you take VPB for Town, the Team from my perspective is almost always {Alduskkel, DkKoba, NPOM}. If you accept that VPB is not perfectly cleared for a second, then the Team composition changes, and I’m not sure what I would say the three members are in that case. However, Alduskkel’s attempts at discrediting me seem to carry an agenda, so I am still very happy with my vote.- NoPowerOverMe
