Mini 2284: The Thing Anonymous [The End?]

[Fuchs~]

I think that Bennings is the best bet here for the Childs shot.

[Fuchs~]

I would like for Childs to confirm their shot before we lock for the day.

[Garry~]

And then immediately trusting the Palmer result,

I reread during n1 and my palmer read strengthened.
And I wasn't implying a Windows/childs team. I was saying that if

and

only if I was wrong on palmer, then maybe your idea of childs being scum could be true.
Anyways, I was sick yesterday.

[Nauls~]

Is there any merit to Childs not revealing who the shot will be to make life a bit harder for scum? I don't think Childs should hero shoot, but realistically there's a pool of like ~3 people we could establish to shoot within. Dunno if that surprise factor actually helps us at all, though.

It does suck that people shot won't flip, though. Not knowing the number of scum left could be tricky here.

The Thing

Setup

• 10 Humans
  
  
• 3 Things

We started with 3. I am assuming Windows flips scum today, meaning we go into the night with 1 living scum. that means all night flips are on town, or else the game ends.

We never lose track of the number of scum now.

I don't see how revealing hurts us at all. Scum are all vanilla, meaning they cannot interfere with Childs shot.

I think childs should announce their target, and my vote is for bennings.

Oh, forgot about that. Yeah, then shooting has no real downside!

I'm fine with a shot on Bennings.

[MacReady~]

I think Bennings can look like a Clarke partner what with completely ignoring the initial wagon on the slot

[Blair~]

I agree with Bennings looking like a good shot

Childs are you up for it?

[MacReady~]

I see. Something I've noticed recently is that people seem to find "tbh" as scummy, with one reason being that it comes off as soft and half-hearted agreement in order to avoid conflict. At least, that's one reason that's stuck out to me. It's interesting that you see Copper's post as a whole that way, rather than just the "tbh" part.

VOTE: Copper

In retrospect this does look anti-partner-y

[Childs~]

I will shoot Bennings.

[Copper~]

Assimilation does not grant a thing access to the previous player's role information or night actions. Any private messages sent to or from the previous occupant would be wiped.

Palmer seems so sure, yet is so wrong. It makes no sense to me.

Honestly I feel like petapan might have slipped an unreliable cop in here. It would only barely be bastard given this theme and setup. I want to believe Childs and Palmer are scumbuddies but I just don't.

VOTE: Copper who's dipped out of the whole of today and was my scumread yesterday.

I had an IRL family emergency interrupt my backread.
VOTE: Windows

[Copper~]

Miller seems even more bastardly than unreliable cop?

But having a full sane cop in this game seems hard to balance though.

Anyhow no point dragging the day out now that we're pretty sure Childs wasn't assimilated.

VOTE: Windows

Childs if you're town please vig Palmer tonight, my townflip will prove Palmer's scum.

Scum self vote.

[Copper~]

This day has been super interesting as a reaction test but it is now time for me to reveal the proof that Palmer's claim to have a guilty is a lie. I was hoping not to have to out my role but,

I am a

0.5-shot rolecop

The flavour gist of my power role is that, as my character is a radio operator I can send and receive information so I can find out about other players, but because our reception is so poor I can only make out every second letter of the message I receive.

(This is in contrast to the television aerials who got married - their wedding was nice enough, but their reception was fantastic!
(Apparently for their honeymoon they went across the Channel.
(Married life didn't suit them though, they got into a fight in a bar, about whether VHF or UHF is better. They were both band.
(Now they've split up - she's kept the house, he's gone to live with his Aunt Anna.
(She makes him his favourite sandwiches - tuner.
(I heard he's now dating a satellite receiver. He says she's quite a dish.))))))

Anyhow, last night I investigated Palmer and got back the following result:

*h*n*

This proves that Palmer is either a Thing, or a Phony, or a river (either the Rhone or the Rhine). Possibly even a Thong. But definitely not a one shot cop, or I would have received *n*s*o*c*p. Or o*e*h*t*o* depending which ear I was listening with at the time.

So, time to vote out Palmer.

VOTE: Palmer

Seems legit.

[Windows~]

post 921 from Fuchs physically pained me to read.

How could Fuchs not realise it's a deliberately fake claim?

Similar to Childs who had a good reason for lying about their role D1, I have a good reason for lying about my role and will be happy to explain it if you like me live until endgame.

Or tomorrow. Tomorrow will do.

If I do die today my money is on Lars to win this. Go Lars!

[Fuchs~]

I will shoot Bennings.

Word.

VOTE: Windows

[Fuchs~]

Assuming that Childs shot works, that is Palmer, Blair, and Childs all confirmed town as of Night 2. Obviously one of them can be killed but that still 2 in that group confirmed.

If none of them die, and instead its someone from the PoE that dies we might end up with a game of "where did X go" but either path seems pretty straight forward atp.

[MacReady~]

And me unassimilated!

I do want to hear Bennings' take on all of this

[Garry~]

I do want to hear Bennings' take on all of this

me too!
they haven't said much memorable things imo.

[Palmer~]

I'm more interested in a claim from him, personally. My only worry, I guess, is that this feels too easy...

Garry, did you have any other conclusions after your N1 reread?

[Bennings~]

i mean in a normal game i wouldn't be opposed to getting shot since it slims PoE

even for this game it's probably not the worst thing since finding assimilated will *probably* not be too difficult?

i'm also vanilla so no PR loss from it and childs being confirmed is probably more important to reduce fear of scum!childs world. obv can be assimilated into after but like i said, probably not that big of a threat at this point

i'm assuming it's Copper btw

[Norris~]

Sometimes I wish I was scum...

[Norris~]

VOTE: windows

[Norris~]

why are we letting childs live rhough... like if theyre currently scum theyll just assimilate again before we can jump their ass
