Scotts point about watching a player and seeing them dead with no results would confirm ninja in the game.
cop is obvious.

I agree that Cop & Watcher is probably the most useful combo out there, as at least one informative role can detect all scum.
In post 7, ConSpiracy wrote:Vote: Cop
This one is obvious
The second one is more tricky, but I think the mafia would choose hitman over ninja for follow the cop purposes
Vote: Watcher
Watcher > Tracker
Doc (with cop) > RB (with cop)
So if someone gives me a better reason to choose doc over watcher, I might switch.

Conspiracy got it down.
Watcher Cop, let's do this.
Cop with godfather can still get the other scum.
Tracker/Watcher with ninja can still verify the cop.
Doctor with a Strongman is useless.
Roleblocker can be an inadvertent threat to other town role and is useless against Strongman.
Vote: Cop
Vote: Watcher
I think watcher should be the other choice. You aren't going to get any false results with a watcher (besides the rare situation of a ninja and town PR targeting the person who is killed but that is rare). Even if there is a ninja, if I watch Quilford, Quilford dies but I get a result that nobody visited him, then even though I don't have a result, we know that the mafia picked ninja. Tracker could potentially get false negatives tracking someone nowhere if they are ninja. Doctor would be third choice

If I had gotten to vote, I would've chosen Cop and Roleblocker I think... Roleblockers are always useful. Watcher's fine.

I found scott's comments and rationale to be the most town. Consp gets a town nod for coming to the point first but Scott was more thought out and wins
CS wrote:Never have I said that the issue was that you had an early town read. The issue is that it is fake.
As I said multiple times, the only thing that Scott added was why watcher was better than tracker. that could be the only thing that could have given the town read.
He did that after three people preferred watcher over tracker (I said watcher>tracker, Darox voted watcher, Friend didn't even care to mention tracker)

Claiming truthfully is AWFUL.
Real vanilla claims reduce the NK pool.
Real power claims let the mafia faceroll. Especially if they have a ninja.
Either everybody fakeclaims vanilla, or everyone fakeclaims powers. Powers is the better option of the two.
Basically, the idea is don't claim at all, but if you feel you must, fake it as either a cop or a watcher.

Darox wrote:How?In post 171, farside22 wrote:I would rather have caught scum fake claiming.
Just curious.
Cause, you know, scum don't act at random. There is not a 2/7 chance that they will claim a power role. And if they're going to be lynched anyway, why are you giving them the chance to out a power role.
.Yoshi wrote:And you are now, what, the fourth player to basically say I'm scummy by association? Farside, Scott, and you are all saying I'm scummy for being leery of the DJ wagon, and Ankamius thinks I'm scummy by association with Glow (but I'll get to that in a minute). Methinks someone/someones in this group is trying to tee up a future mislynch already
I have seen quick lynches flip scum too, but far more frequently in my experience, quick wagons have been on town. I'm also NOT saying no hammer= DJ is town, I don't know where you're getting that from. I'm saying that nobody unvoting immediately was likewise suspicious, and you've said and done nothing to refute that.
So Eijo isn't scum to you, and you're defending Scott. So if there were a bus, you're saying it's a DJ-Friend/Ank scumteam? What about it makes it seem like a bus to you?

Soooooooooo why do we want claiming again?
1. The voting for DY.
2. Tell me what he actually meant with it.
3. None.
Farside's #195: I long since stopped asking people to unvote, and am outright saying the lack of an unvote is scummy. Also, why the double standard with Ank and Scott? With the Friend/Ank slot, apparently you're needing towntells to put that slot on a town read, but with Scott, the absence of scumminess is enough to put him on a town read?
Farside's #201: Why would you abandon an L-1 wagon on your strongest scumread with Voting me specifically aside, the fact that you voted ANYONE else with only several days to the deadline is bad. The logic being that a hammer on the leading wagon becomes much more likely as the deadline gets closer simply because town wants to avoid a no-lynch, so the smarter play would have been to keep pushing the wagon and basically dare the town to hammer him before the deadline. Your DJ suspicion now really looks manufactured.
FoS: Farside.

DY scum wrote:Finally, you are taking my two arguments completely out of context. There's a difference between ending D1 early and ending it with just a few days to deadline. The former often deprives the town of more information, the latter is necessary to avoid a no-lynch.
First, I've been pushing an Eijo lynch for, like, the entire day, and nobody bit. The definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Realistically, w/ 96 hours to lynch, and with no wagon on my #1 suspect to speak of, I decided I needed to put my vote where it would make a difference rather than parking it where it wouldn't, and I still don't support a Pig lynch. I'm obviously not going to self-vote, so the other main option was Darox. I'm pretty sure I said didn't like his no-explanation, wagon-hopping vote of me, which is a significantly scummy thing I can attribute to him, as opposed to not a lot that I have on Pig atm.
Finally--if this is scummy to you, how is it different than you unvoting your own #1 scumspect? Why not "push the person you find scummiest first?"
When did I say something of pig was a scumtell? What doesn't make sense about my pushes?
1. Yup
2. I have, however you are tunneling too hard to find out what I mean with this.
3. I also saw nothing good in anyones case on DJ. Yet I am not finding them (except you) for it.
FLP wrote:@Farside: You and CS are now on the same wagon, and yet you seem to be suspicious of each other. Doesn't that worry you?
Right. I didn't like the wagon or the lack of an unvote, but this is another example of you simplifying my argument for your own ends. I say in my #191 it was the lack of an immediate unvote--it was something that happened in the past, and an unvote at the point in time where you did is a very different matter. You're basically arguing that when a vote gets placed is irrelevant for scumhunting.

As for your "he replaced out" point, you're just repeating what you said earlier. I don't care about that. It's the sudden change in reasoning that I think is scummy.
DY wrote:1. I judged a wagon on someone who I found to be utterly null to be suspicious. Regardless of a wagoned player's alignment, it's suspicious--if the player is town, scum have a good opportunistic shot at a quick D1 w/ a mislynch. If the player is scum, their buddy bussing them is a possibility as the buddy knows they'll be right the whole time. You said as much earlier with your own speculation about the wagon and a potential bus.
