I don't know that it does make sense. But why wouldn't it?
It's an obviously town role that doesn't benefit the scum team at all, except if they coincidentally target me
I'm not scumreading medea.
I think you're reacting to my reply to notsci?
My point was that his viewpoint that scum would start with a demon, means that medea is scum given we were at
LOW
on shards.
I was pointing out the implication of that viewpoint, and not saying I think medea is scum.

FF was asking questions of LLD about their claim,
I asked a questin in hydra about Medea.
I'm bugging Manatee about their change in tone.
Plus some traditional pings here and there. we've been noting.
So why do you think we aren't reacting to roles?

If I'm a town demon and I see someone also claiming demon
I just claim demon. Boom, Medea is the counter to me. That didn't happen though
Why?

Uh, because I don't know if he's lying so I'm asking him to explain himself and his reasoning. If you read his response you would note he used post-facto reasoning, that is, he was justifying himself from the argument of an outcome rather than from what he knew, what he assumed, or believed. I noted the discrepancy of him being okay with sharding Annie if he did think that it would be risky to demonify other players. There is no benefit to half-sharding a player. If he was assuming there were two demons and he felt that making more demons was a bad move, why was he okay with lettng someone get a shard, but not okay with them becoming a demon? If they get a shard they are easier to demonify and there is no advantage to having 1 shard to my knowledge.

Why?
an argument i could make is that could reveal you have a power, but if they continue to not materialize then... why does there have to be a town demon?

Because Medea is claiming they are the town demon.

sure. what if they're a scum demon claiming town demon though. if you're right about a 2 demon start, which we don't know for sure, perhaps the other is also scum and they instructed the other one to not claim to make them look like The Town Demon via this exact reasoning

DAY 1 SHARD COUNT
Am I being dense here? I don't see why we're entertaining the possibility of 2 demons yesterday.

@ffery I’m half lurking but we pulled up to start moving my brother in after my last post
I’ve been debating if I took cabds post as gospel due to the lack of CC
Medea confirmed the existence of at least 1 demon yesterday (when it could be implied that low could count as 0). That's 1.
Low is 0-2. I don't know where Snarky is getting 'oh why are we implying there was 2 demons' when nobody has. All I've had is a theory, yet Snarky is going off the handle and saying shit like 'oh well I specifically meant'
Why does specifics matter? More importantly, why do you need to care so much what your guess is. I certainly don't know yet he got so bothered by it for some reason.

If my assumption about demon-count/shard-count is incorrect I'd really like for someone to explain that.

Hello. Am taking break from moving. I have read like 5 posts.
Can you explain this to me?
Day 1 shard count was low. Low was defined as 0-2 demons. Why would we not entertain the possibility of 2 demons? It fits in the low count, right?
Since we jumped to medium, I feel like that also supports the idea that we started closer to the threshold, no?
It is very possible that this was discussed earlier, and I missed it. So sorry if that is the case
oh fuck.
And thanks.
I've been thinking 0-2 shards, not 0-2 demons.
sorry sorry.

Medea already claimed they were a demon. We went over this with Medea being like 'oh why didn't you set a trap' or whatever. Right now the count went from Low to Medium just overnight without a kill. The thing that has been ringing alarms to me is the inferrence of shard distribution knowing my own power. I can also give out two shards.
Just as a footnote I haven't done that, but it does beg the question of why we jumped from Low to Medium already, knowing my own own inactivity. The implication that scum chose to give out shards slightly tilted me
Okay this reasoning is very flawed and I don't understand why you think that.
If you give town one shard you're making it easier for them to be demonized.
Plus your reasoning is clearly post-facto. When we didn't know whether there was 1 or 2 demons on the first day.

My whole sense of the demon-count was just wrong.
still thinking about what that means.
but, you're right, there could have been 2 demons day 1.

So you admit you were wrong and yet you want to implicate me for what again?
Why did I choose to vote Annie? Because I thought Annie was town. There are some underlying factors that we've now talked about, but I digress. It's not a matter of me thinking you're TMIng or anything like that, just the way you manuevered around speculation and then trying to pin me on it is alarming.

I think that bolster's medea's town-equity, at least.
I'm relieved there are objective, outside-my-fevered-brain reasons to townread them now.

Huh, @FF, I didn't know you didn't know that. I had the correct conception that it was stating the number of demons. I didn't think medea as either alignment would lie about being a demon early game. So it felt t likely there was 1, bu wasn't sure if there were two.
My entire concern has to do with: Being okay with giving Notty 1 shard, but not two. The 1 just makes them easier to be a demon at the demon's convenience and they chose not,
Also yeah, It's possible that the scum team did just send their shards out to themselves and it's possible some of them could even power themselves up with the shards. It would also fit Rhea's ability.
Wait, did I miss a counter argument FF posted about scum not being able to shard themselves?

An sample. Even then, factional kill is separate. I think a member can choose to kill and one of them can self-distribute with the multitask clause in play
I refuse to entertain the idea that the scum team can factionally kill and factionally give out shards. The sample goon pm is very explicit that the factional choice is either/or. If the actual factional ability allows for both, then imo, the mod lied to us. And I don't think bork would do that.
And yes. It was a sample. But it was the sample for a mafia goon. Implying that if there is a mafia goon, that is what their pm looks like (minus flavor name) so I am functioning on the knowledge that the factional ability is what bork said. the factional ability being
- You are a member of the Mafia and may talk to your partners here, and, at night, elect a member to perform either a single factional kill OR assign two shards to any combination of living players.

I was not.
I continue to be saying that Unwnd is cool with Sharding Annie but not giving them power. While justifying not sharding them to make them into a demon because that would make more demons.
It does not make sense and they don't appear to be engaging my reasoning and seem more concerned with pushing back and misreading my posts.
