I am Cepira Rulk, the Harrier.

I am a Tracker, slightly modified

If I match sign, I get to track my target on Major Nights. If I track them using an ability that needed them to match sign, and the sign they submit is the same as their own, I also get told the name of the ability I see them using. The only drawback is that I don't get results for actions that target me.

I correctly Detected a player whom I thought might be scum and might perform a kill during the Minor Night.

I actually would have been tempted to go in harder on this player Today but I was still hoping to have the wagon on me fall away without having to claim so that I could be more sure of getting the investigation away.

Right now I don't want to give away my Detect target and their sign if I don't have to - there's still a chance that I could use it, though the necessity of claiming makes that less likely. But I will if people whom I think are town think that it would help them decide whether or not to get the frak off my wagon.

This absolutely should not have come to this, but here we are.

COULD YOU PLEASE, PLEASE ACTUALLY READ THE WORDS THAT I POST AND STUDY WHAT THEY MEAN. FOR ONCE!

Why do you think this is a good idea?

Because I'm actually confident-ish in the read, and I'd like for him to die soon if I'm lynched. I'll just say it, for the sake of transparency.

I detected Aronis

, who I think is probably lurker scum letting the loud players just fight it out among themselves.

I really, really, really dislike role-based excuses for how people are playing. Because they come a lot more often from scum than town. I also think given your stated reads and how weak all your scumreads are that this really is just an excuse for playing in a way that people are finding scummy

That's not quite what I'm trying to say. I'm not trying to excuse my whole play - the only difference to how I would have played this as a VT, I suspect, is that I would have just sat on Aronis since the end of the Minor Day. This is just to explain why I haven't pushed Aronis

and that if you honestly think that someone outside of that is LIKELY enough to be scum that you can make a better case than your previous one throwing darts at ActionDan, you should be making that case.

You can tell from my reads list that Aronis is my strongest scumread but I don't really have anything to push - it's just the fact that he's probably generic lurker scum - so I got a bit too enamored with finding something else to do and taking advantage of my detect to hit him at night. In a game where I can't always expect my night actions to work even if I target the right people, having the advantage of definitely being able to track a suspect and therefore lynching somebody else was really appealing.

Also, implying you're worth protection right now to me sounds basically deluded.

I have a powerful pro-town role, and if I survive this wagon then it'll be because people believe that I'm town - because, look at ActionDan, it's not just going to be a formality based on claim alone - so at that point those are the ingredients for someone being worth protection, yes.

If you mean 'what would happen if my target submitted an incorrect sign?' then no, I actually haven't. I'd sort of assumed that a failure to match sign means you technically don't use an action, but you bringing it up makes me realise that I don't have a particular reason for that to be true instead of any other possible interpretation. I will ask hito about it.

Confirmed: I get the result even if my target incorrectly matched sign.

CDB detect minor night one. Gets wrong sign.
CDB attempt major night one. Wrong sign.
CDB then should know Aronis's sign.

If CDB fails to check Aronis, then either CDB or Aronis is likely scum with a remote possibility of a roleblocker.

What are you talking about? I got Aronis's sign on Minor Night 1.
