I think we wait Toog confirm they're VT then have DEB share his result?

Sorry I’ve been gone most of the day cycle, old friend came into town, I’ll be back around 4/5 est to give y’all my dirt, I see y’all have done the thing.

Toogeloo already reconfirmed VT (out of order).

Okay then we just wait Derb now

Out of curiosity, why did you want the masons outed? Was it to do the mass claim?

- Creature always outs today tbh. It was nice to have him as a LHF for awhile but we don't want that anymore. TBH he wanted to out D2 but I didn't see any reason why he should do that just because he was pressured to.
- The Bell flip is really good and overnight we came up a solve that we're confident in. Outing the masonry as well as massclaiming helps with this.
- Even if we're not confident in it, we don't mind trading mason pieces to flip key slots. If we trade 1 for 1 great, if we hit town, that's also great because we can afford a couple of town deaths and the town deaths will ultimately help us get closer to solving. Pooky may be alone but in the late late game, Pooky alone should be enough to bring it home given all of the previous flips. I'm basically trying to set him as well as the whole village up for success.
- Pooky doesn't have that much thread presence where as I do and if I say "Yo, these are the people that need to die" then its more likely that those people will die.

Yeah but you just gave scum three free NKs, so I don’t really understand how this is helpful? I could understand you outing Creature since he was getting run up yesterday but why you and especially Murderkitty? How doesn’t that put targets on all of your respective heads?

Its a shame I didn’t think of that over the night phase since if I did, I would have likely lived for a very long time and that probably means the % of this being checkmate goes up, given I’m get way better the longer the game goes on.
But regardless this helps us set up checkmate by a lot

Very probably and if Solstice’s reads are any indication, Murderkitty would probably have only been at any risk for a miselim if we were flipped, so I really hope this doesn’t come back to bite us.

Tbf, MURDERCAT was a scum read being professed by some players, myself especially. He was at risk too. And at that point, you might as well out all three for coordination purposes, etc.

Speaking of, I have never ever heard of Solstice’s role in any game ever, so if true and it seems very unlikely to be a fakeclaim, there obviously has to be an actual supersaint in this game.

Only Creature was in immediate danger for miselim though. Why? Why out DT and Murderkitty today?

That is what trading is.

Obvious problem with that argument, is being IC, doesn’t make your reads correct, it just makes you not miselimable.

So, I think this was a really silly idea, except of course for Creature. I was recently in a game. I can link it if you like? I was also IC and I was deathtunelled on town!RR and as a result got pocketed by both scum and we lost because everyone wrongly sheeped me. And the absolute worst part of that is I got yelled at post game. :/

Its not about being correct
Part of setting up checkmate is miseliminating some people to try to figure out what scum were doing during the course of the game.

I hadn’t actually considered the possibility that she could have possibly been pocketing Hectic with that. I just really hard tr that AtE. I haven’t seen Ydrasse fake AtE as scum as scum before, so I honestly wouldn’t know. She just seemed so upset but it’s possible it could have been faked.

@Pooky what do you think? Is this in Ydrasse’s scumrange or not?
