Why would you claim scum as scum?In post 40, Quiet Owl wrote:Why would you fake claim scum that's like the most anti-town thing you could possibly do
There are two potential answers to why Loftwing is Loftwinging:
Loftwing is lolcatting or Loftwing is Jester. The first is NAI. The second is potentially game ending for scum. If somehow Loftwing IS cult, that's actually the biggest threat to all of the individual scumteams.
tl;dr Scum should definitely shoot the person who can maybe end the game, and not just to set up a vig claim down the line. Similarly, Loftwing is a pretty good vig target. Loftwing should not be the elimination today at all.

In any case, I didn't get much from slayering. Then again, I didn't intend on slayering, it just kinda happened.- Loftwing

Sir, if you rolled cult and didn't get cult, that would mean that you are Neutral, and you also know for a fact that cult does exist.In post 60, cyrus62 wrote:My idea is simply unless you rolled cult and didn't get it you have no idea if there is a cult. What does the seven mean? Does it mean there are 7 town two scum two wearwovles and two aliens or does it mean there are six town,One cult 2 scum two wearwovles and two aliens? Which is why I askd what I did . I'm not asking for your rolls or even your role I'm just asking if you rolled cult and didn't receive it?- Loftwing

What information could any player give other than their dice rolls and current role? The only things that are confirmed to be changed by the moderator are:
Single-player masonries (which will be combined into one bigger masony)
Cult players (Only one cultist can exist at the start, all others are 3rd party, which have a 3/4ths chance of being negative utility to the town)- Loftwing

Well, even then, that gives the scum players a reasonable amount of information. They might not know what your role is exactly, but they would know every possibility for what you could be. Granted, the amount is 3x2x(3!), but that still comes out to 36 total combinations for what your role could be, which is far more information than what they started with.- Loftwing

This seems.. wrong.In post 173, Bingle wrote:
I'd actually missed this, but it makes the Jester win trivial.In post 103, cyrus62 wrote:After all cook stated jester is non game ending.
Jester is the only role that actively wants to be eliminated. Jester is a threat to town if they aren't. (they actively want to be eliminated and don't want to be a threat to scum because that might get them shot. We will have to eliminate them at some point, because if they survive to XLO they will selfvote and cost town the game. Eliminating them while we're low info > eliminating them while we're high info.)
Therefore, any Jesters can claim and get eliminated and we can just move on with the game. With a phase worth of NA results to work with.
If at any point we eliminate a Jester, that's a scum player that we fail to eliminate, and thus one step closer to MeleeLo (Me/LeLo)- Loftwing

The main difference between executing a jester now vs never is that if we eliminate a jester, that's a wasted day that could have been spent gathering information via flip (Such as association, or seeing who pushed for the townie's death) whereas if we execute a Jester, the only info we get is "Yep, that's a Jester." The scum will always want to push for a Jester kill because it doesn't poorly reflect on them.- Loftwing

We would still get to XLO in the same number of days with or without executing a Jester.In post 201, Bingle wrote:
The conversation isn’t about an extant jester claim, but rather that any jesters SHOULD claim because doing so guarantees their win.In post 192, Dwlee99 wrote:I don't think NM was actually claiming jester. This conversation feels pointless
@Loft: Jester has to be eliminated at some point before XLO or we simply lose in XLO because a non game ending jester in this setup has a trivial wincon. Today is the day with the lowest chance of limming scum otherwise because duh. Scum has no reason to shoot a jester claim. All of that is objectively true. Your argument is functionally: we should wait to eliminate jester until we potentially have nka and/or investigative results because maybe we’ll win without hitting XLO, in which case… we would have won the game anyway.
Suppose the setup is as follows:
9 Town, 3 Mafia, 1 Jester.
Assume that Mafia always kill town.
When will XLO be if we don't execute the jester?
When will XLO be if we do execute the jester?- Loftwing

@Bingle Fine. We will burn down a Jester that claims if that will make you happy. I still think it's a cop-out answer for scum not needing to actually scumhunt. (I also think that a Jester wouldn't self-vote in XLO because executing a Mafia member at least will continue the game while doing nothing makes them lose)
@Cyrus uhh wat. What?
WHAT???
How the hell did you draw that connection for my oversimplified and clearly not realistic diagram of not this game?- Loftwing

In post 210, cyrus62 wrote:Why are we even surgesting there is a jester. Not mafia isn't here for one and loft most likely something that draws the night kill. Bingel seems to be prodding looking for places to vote. That is a hint. Cook is saying you don't have to read it as in it won't make you break any rules if you don't read it. But will help you to read it so if you think of it that seven stands for something.maybe it's just how many people it takes to vote someone off but that would be lame flavor.
No one is suggesting there is a Jester.
I don't see much reason to think that 7 means 7 townies. There's nothing that mechanically confirms or denies that, and 7 is just a 51% majority of 13- Loftwing

So your argument was that I had theoretically been faking a breaking strategy in the hopes that it would make me an obvious town leader in a likely multiball setup where I would then be susceptible to being shot and was going to ride the cred from a breaking strategy that didn't exist and never would have appeared to endgame. I definitely believe.In post 242, Loftwing wrote:Well, if you could get the town coordinated on your side, you could be god.
You would be testing the waters at this stage, not doing a full fledged cannonball.- Loftwing

Cultists are pretty much going to act like town here. They have legitimately no incentive to not scumhunt. Cultists want the town to survive, and want to reduce other factions down so that they have multiple recruitment options.
Mafia want to stay aliveee, while also maybe scumhunting, but probably just hunting for town. Not just to reduce cult options to recruit, but also because that brings them a step closer to winning.- Loftwing

The mafia need to strike a balance between genuinely scumhunting, and hunting for town, because they can never genuinely find their own teammates.In post 287, Bingle wrote:

Where did Kyouko respond to that specifically? I don't particularly think 226 is a response to that.In post 298, Bingle wrote:Kyouko’s response to “I think loft was trying to dig for how to escape a potential strat” was to immediately ask about the strat. Additionally, 161, 166, and 226 all struck me as town motivated.
I find those posts unimpressive.
Granted, but the first point of staying alive still holds.
They don’t have to genuinely find their own teammates. That’s the point. They can genuinely find other groups.In post 291, Loftwing wrote:

I think that while ultimately useless in terms of mechanics, it did offer an opportunity to be a goldmine for jumpstarting the game. I'm sure you've noticed the lack of events in the game so far.In post 299, Bingle wrote:

I don't find that you brought it up and they failed to respond to it as them responding to it.
I feel like survivalism is more of a scum trait, but it can very much be found in town players, even vanilla town players. I would very much like to not die is what I'm trying to say, regardless of alignment.
It can also be the case that someone might be emulating fatalism to seem more townlike, since town aren't supposed to care if they die.
Granted, but it is not entirely likely.Bingle wrote:
