As for your theory on the portals I do like it, but why those two specific players?
I don't think she knows that.

That being said, I do think what The Healer is saying makes a lot of sense. However, as we saw from simsands' flip, the two scum teams are Plegia and Valm. So unless this is Grimleal Plegia, Grima could be our indie. If not, then he's just Grima/robin from Grimleal Plegia.

Thoughts?
 
You've obtained a chest! It contains:

Rift Door
- Once per Night, you may PM me to use this Item. Target two players. Any Skills or Abilities targeting your first target will target the second one instead.

Here's the item description for when I got a Rift Door
 
I know we don't know why someone would target those two players, but can we work on trying to figure out why those two players would be targeted by the door, as figuring out the why could help us figure the who would target them.

Also thank you KX for the item report.

This kind of "strategy" is looser than a hula dancer's hips...

The more times you have to put "what if" as opposed to total certainty in your theory, the looser the theory is.
 
I feel like I probably missed votes, so I'll be re-checking the thread. But let me know anyway if I missed one.

  • All names are in chronological order (both the voters and the voted). The number in parenthesis after a non-voter's name is the current vote total they have.
  • The voters' names are in the brackets and the post they made that vote in is in parenthesis, you can click on it to go to that post.
  • If the voter is struck out, it means they unvoted that player, you can click on the name to go to the post in which they unvoted (clicking on the post in parenthesis will still take you to the post in which they voted).
  • Blah blah not like anybody read this after the third time it was posted.
  • The player whose name is tagged and followed by a number in parenthesis is the one with the most votes and is the one lynched.
  • There are 17 players, so for the Day to end with a majority lynch, it would take 9 votes, unless there are any modifiers.
  • The voter whose name is bolded and underlined is the one who hammered the lynch, if applicable.

Reinforce is at L-3 as of this count.
 
Don't bother trying to get contribution out of him. He hasn't managed it yet despite me asking straight up questions to do so. He's still only talked about not-me-or-Camo once and that was that hilariously bad post about Jabber.
This is anti-town. I can at least try to understand where he is coming from.[/QUOTE]

@Celever - When you said bbninjas will probably be killed tonight, you assumed he is town- there is nothing objective about that, nor does it help to explain what is a lie detector.
scattered mind could also be on the first team mentioned. I've noticed a bit of buddying between him and bb & Prof P.
Looks OMGUSy, but probably isn't.

@bbninjas- How is it logical that you are still alive? Why should the scum team fully believe when you said it is only one time use? seems odd to me.
From a fairly neutral standpoint; this are all the possibilities I can think of quickly: some mix of a) Scum fear doctoring b) Town don't lie c) I'm scum d) GM Drac was a priority to kill for some reason or another e) The killer is not scum

Right, first the comments on Reinforce. I'm really two minded. Naga feels like a really weird claim considering both the announcer and my Ability (!) talks about Naga as a bit more separate. You can see some flavour here. However, safe claims should be safe, so lynching Reinforce over just that is odd. I did go back and check Reinforce's response (or lack of thereof) to the announcing and the Naga flavour for my role, which are linked and probably should have opinions formed on it. I'm not really getting too much out of it that isn't WIFOMy, such as Reinforce's response/speculation of whether my claim is true or false (my results mentioned Naga). Anyways, the other thing that pokes me the wrong way is Reinforce's lack of skills in the claim, and lack of explanation on why this is the case (I would've explained it immediately as town because it naturally should raise authenticity questions). On the other hand, I am Libra, so I think Reinforce is not lying about having an Ability with that effect, or similar.

The thing that makes me think that Reinforce never did the kill is that what morda claimed is "went near". I wouldve thought that if Reinforce actually did the kill, the result would have been more definite. I'm going to leave my vote on Celever because I'm not convinced enough, and don't want to risk a quick hammer this early in the day.

In regards to EM wagon that briefly started; is it a policy lynch or a he's-probably-scum lynch?
 
Actually, a policy lynch is when you lynch someone because they are (normally town) being detrimental to the town.
 
Something I noticed I keep seeing miss uses of "WIFOM" as far as I knew it was basically "he knows that I know that I know he knows I know he knows"

Btw thank you bbninjas for the defence. Why do people keep trying to lynch me over stuff that's already ben said and resolved? Is this scummy or is it just me "making no sense" again?

There is a really good article on WIFOM at MafiaScum. A situation relevant to this game would be simsands pushing for TGK, which makes you think that simsands and TGK aren't on the same team. However, simsands likely knows this, and instead pushed for TGK because he wanted the town to think they aren't on the same team, when in fact they are.

Btw thank you bbninjas for the defence.
I'm not defending you.

Why do people keep trying to lynch me over stuff that's already ben said and resolved?
You're constantly lying, making pro-scum plays, making scummy gambits and are extensively confusing whenever you do any of this stuff. It's all detrimental to the town.
 
If bbninjas, who is confirmed town, is confirming Reinforce's results, then Reinforce probably isn't lying. I know at least one time a game someone will get lynched over something the hosts did (or didn't do) so I would much rather put stock in the actual results over something in the flavor being slightly off.

Based on the fact that no one is asking for Camoclone's head, I'm going to assume that whoever he is is also town (unless it's a safe claim).

If it was just Camoclone's results then I would call this a scum play but bbninjas confirming gives Reinforce credit WHICH MEANS

##UNVOTE: Reinforce
##VOTE: Empoleon_master


Votes please <3

You're more than experienced enough to be able to poke all kinds of holes in this post. First of all, RF being a role name seer doesn't make him town. In fact, I think it actually makes it more likely he's scum, given his role has already appeared as a class skill on Robin, a town player. Number-wise, every faction in this game is underpowered besides the town, because 3 members on one faction means that a minimum of 18 other players must pass, since we've 21 players, before that faction can win. HP alleviates this slightly, but not enough for all of the scum members to have weak roles. With Robin there was a trade off: they can get information, but they can't attack. With RF I think this will be different, which is why things have been omitted from his role. I'm certain the hosts would have handed a safeclaim like that to Reinforce because it's really bad, but I think it's probable that RF made a gambit by cutting his role up and changing things. People don't like being thrown in at the deep end, and it casts doubt on them when they're faced with something new and different. RF is taking advantage of this.

bbninjas isn't confirmed town. He's confirmed to have found out that simsands is scum somehow, but don't forget that there are two scum factions. You definitely know that ability confirmed =/= affiliation confirmed unless it's something like the nightkill.
~~~~~~~ This part of the post is directed at other things I read while catching up on the thread now, not specifically PMJ ~~~~~~~
Whoever was talking about an amalgamation of attacks being the cause of death of Drac, I think this is relatively unlikely. simsands only told his faction who Robin was yesterday, and it can be assumed that there are only two other members of his team. Additionally, Robin as a character doesn't take bonus damage from any type of weapon. Looking at what we already know and what I know about game balance, it looks as though iron weapons do 10 damage, steel weapons do 20 damage and silver weapons do 30. At most the scumteam could have inflicted 60 damage on Robin, and Robin had 100 max HP. Actually, no, Robin had 100 HP at the time of his death. It's in his role flip: "Current Health: 100/100". That says current, not starting.

An Indie ninja? That's quite an outlandish claim, ngl. In the OP it says scumteams alternate nightkills. Are you really suggesting that the ninja would have little power until one of the scum leaders dies? A lot of players would find that unfair. It's a possibility, but it just makes far less sense than the nightkill being passed down and that clause not being put in the role PM. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened on this site, even.

In a game like this, where canon characters match their canon alignment, a role cop is basically a full seer anyway...

In fact, I think it actually makes it more likely he's scum, given his role has already appeared as a class skill on Robin, a town player.

...but I'll concede this point. It's definitely possible. Is there anything, flavor wise, that would explain it? Like is there a difference between abilities and skills?

Is it confirmed that each scum team has three players on it? Re the rest of this I'll just take your word for it.

bbninjas isn't confirmed town. He's confirmed to have found out that simsands is scum somehow, but don't forget that there are two scum factions. You definitely know that ability confirmed =/= affiliation confirmed unless it's something like the nightkill.

Has anyone called for bbninjas to be lynched? You would think that after nailing scum, he would be immediately revenge killed, and suspicion would be brought to him when he survived the night, but I never want to assume what the scum team is thinking. It's all wifom. I haven't heard of anyone making the sort of plays I have when I am scum (bussing my teammate D1, claiming sk AND GOING ON TO WIN WOOOO \o/).

My reasoning for bbninjas being confirmed is based on flavor. In this game, it works. There are two scum teams, yes, but I don't think Reinforce would have gotten a safe claim for his results (or else his ability (and Robin's skill) would be worthless).

I really want to hear what Camoclone has to say.

OK, but that wasn't the purpose of that statement. His role being confirmed doesn't mean that his alignment is.
...but I'll concede this point. It's definitely possible. Is there anything, flavor wise, that would explain it? Like is there a difference between abilities and skills?
Abilities don't exist in-game (except probably Olivia and dancing... I forget, is that a skill in Awakening?) so that's the main different. Abilities just pick up on one random part of the character and make a ww role out of it, while the skills are consistent through classes. I should mention that Robin's base class, which had the role name seer, is totally exclusive to him. This is why it had a slightly more powerful role attached to it. Having 5 role name seers would be game over. To this extent, it was sort of the same as the character ability found on RF because it's player-exclusive, except RF could then also do damage if he has skills. It makes no sense for RF to be just a role name seer when we've got Robin who can be a role name seer and then some, which is why I think RF cut up his role.

I don't think it's confirmed as such in-thread (like in the OP or anything), but the hosts haven't exactly been keeping it a secret. It's just sort of knowledge that's there. I was putting my thoughts about the game down to the host like I normally do over Skype and one of the hosts confirmed it beyond doubt, too, so that's useful info I guess. :p

Yeah, that is all WIFOM. :p The nightkill alst phase was pretty terrible for them IMO, because there was the option of revenge killing, two "soft cleans" etc. etc..

A part of me is thinking "all eggs in one basket", so I still don't want to clean bb. It's possible bb sacked simsands to authenticate his claim (like you did with SF that one game -- was it TheGuy's?) and then when RF realised he'd been found, he decided to give bb even more to work with. I'm not gonna pretend like this is Occam's Razor or totally likely, but you cannot authenticate anything with information from scum. Therefore, bb isn't clean, and neither is Camo.

Mine is an Ability though, not a skill.

Considering that simsands' posted fake claim turned out to be difficult to differentiate from an actual town role, you'd think that if I were posting a fake claim, I'd post something even better than what he posted. Instead, I posted something that's supposedly blatantly fake. Ironic, right?

Outlandish doesn't equate to impossible. Every possibility exists as long as it hasn't been disproved with evidence on court, Phoenix.
