I'm not particularly well-versed in the art of debate, but isn't this one of those cases where, if we are in agreement that one of SD & Quadz is scum, then isn't the Burden of Proof on you for why we shouldn't try to hunt the scum within this pair? Or, to make a shitty analogy, was our play wrong in ParadoxPrime?

My burden of proof is that this is a uPick, not a Normal or a mechanic-driven game, and one of them has claimed cop who can't be protected. It's going to sort itself out, and wasting a day on lynching one of them is silly.

Bordempire - where was that work of awesomeness (tm)? I was looking forward to seeing who you had as a proposed town block. I hope it has ooba in it.

My current reads consist of SD Is Lying Scum.

Also I have some townreads. (My previous scumreads include dead scum-Spy, now-town Ooba, and now-null Nautilius).

I don't follow this thought process at all.

One of them is more than likely scum. I don't understand why you're veering down another path, one that I think is town anyway, and ignoring what's going on.

I'd like to see this particular phrase uttered and I don't really know what to think between Quadz and SD, as I had them both as tentative town. So I'll keep my vote where it is for now and see if this 'V' (Varys? ) has anything to add.



Also,

- I'll still be checking in as much as possible, but still a headsup.

I'm not ignoring what's going on. SD is a complete non-threat and Quadz is a claimed cop that can't be protected. There is no incentive to waste a day lynching one when night play will, with near certainty, sort them for us--especially when the alternative (lynching another player) gives the town more information than flipping a coin in a 1v1 where all we know is that one person claimed something first, and then another something afterwards that implicated the first person as lying.

- Des

See I still don't follow. To back out of this and suggest the night sort itself out and that sd isn't a threat doesn't follow.

If Titus roleblocks tonight we shouldn't have a kill depending on how it works. That also means that quadz can't investigate anyone tonight. So were waiting until tomorrow night to see if he's killed, though with the luck the scum team has been having who knows what will happen. Then then if quadz flies and flips town, then we go ahead and lynch sd for being a liar? And what if quadz just doesn't die? We hold onto this indefinitely?

There is something I want to think about with this claim though. And for who asked? Some people do think that you should investigate null reads, and not scum reads. I wish he'd have investigated me though, I'd at least be able to tell if he was telling the truth.

As of right now, SD/quadz could be T v T. If SD is a total fuckup and misdid his actions, then he can be town while quadz is town. Getting clarity from SD should be the priority. If SD cannot be clear, then I see no harm in following Messiah's approach. If SD is scum, he'll have to make up actions and be caught. If quadz is lying, he will most likely be caught fudging the night claim. After all, all cops should receive my flavor name tonight.

(Of course, this doesn't rule out rolecops or scum joats, but it will be pretty close imo).

Sd is essentially vanilla now.

Alchemist - you know what I am. Taking into account a swingy upick that has some claimed bastardish time elements, and taking into account roles before alignments, what do you think the likelihood of me, a macho cop, a permanent roleblocker, a global roleblocker, and a joat with a roleblock all being on the same team is! I might need help before I jump down the rabbit hole.

You run me up, Ceph/Quadz/SD prob join cuz it's a counterwagon, Tierce+Tammy+others prob chainsaw me. I claim early so I don't get lynched by someone who "forgot" I'm hated, you guys all begrudgingly unvote and we sit there and navel-gaze, then we go into a scramble with 24 hours to deadline again and lynch SD.

Moreover, isn't Titus supposed to do her mass redirect thing tonight? If so, we likely won't even get our vigshot, so you're plan is just stupid and keeps this controversy going another day.

A.) So you're scumreading me now?
B.) Where did you get this given that half the last two pages is me arguing that we should lynch SD or quadz?

*bastardish like

Oh also messiah why are you saying it gives us no information? Both quadz and sd were run up day one. There's pretty good information there.

Okay his day two behavior with mollie does support an investigation.

So the options are: SafetyDance is fucking up his fakeclaim and pretending he's not, or he legitimately thinks he's been crystal clear

something tells me it's option #1

VOTE: SafetyDance

This also supports a claim.

My problem is with the cop part. Like my roles make way super sense with my character. Aeron is a priest. How does one go from priest to cop? I do believe him about the returned message part though.

Wait, Titus isn't a global roleblocker but a something else, hang on I think I got something wrong.

Titus does your pm say that you stop all abilities or all active abilities?

Tammy, I am a one night global roleblocker. When I trigger, it will be obvious as all cops get my flavorname instead of their result.

No, I'm just saying that of all the players I think you're likeliest to jump on a Garruk wagon. Am I wrong in my assumption you've been scumreading me pretty bad?

In post 3716, Tammy wrote:Titus does your pm say that you stop all abilities or all active abilities?

All abilities. One shots used during the night do not count as spent. I do not die. If anyone dies tomorrow, lnych me.

how about this:

VOTE: no lynch

kills about 5 birds with one stone.

Oh okay then yeah alchemist my question stands.

There you go. As to your question of does it make sense to have all that shit on one side, nope nope nope (scum would get REKT, town would be essentially vanilla against all that)! Dive gracefully into the rabbit-hole, ex-wife!

Evidently SD ain't the only scum havin trouble keepin his fakeclaim straight!

You still block the one-shots correct? So there's no one-shot vig ninja excuse... that ends up being the scum kill riight!
