I don’t really know how to use the last one and the second one is pretty specific to get any use out of, I don’t want to elaborate more than that on it.

If it was a standard roleblocker then I'd agree with you that Reisen has spellcards that could be flavored like Alien or Roleblocker. It's not a standard roleblocker though since Sanae's active specifically went through and only her spellcard was blocked. If Reisen's the spellblocker then I'd argue she's just lying about her flavor in general

Ok finally have time for this, I'm hoping to get the part 2 where I look over her D3 posting done later tonight.

There's a disconnect between Marisa's positions over D2 where she wants Sanae dead and her actual approach to Sanae where she's evidently treating her as town in the sense that they're collaboratively sortinging together and in posts like where it feels like she has to address stuff she knows is going to get looked over again once Sanae flips town. This is especially visible in her Sanae case in where by the look of it you'd think she'd be treating Sanae like confscum and solving for the rest of the team (Coincidentally Yuuka also pointed out this tonal disconnect in which makes me feel slightly better about her going up in my reads today)

What are your reads now? How confident are you on me and Clownpiece-Chan being town?

You've dropped some, but probably below him and above the

Probably something like

Aya/koishi -> mechanics
Clown
Dai
You

In post 3629, Reisen Udongein Inaba wrote: Can I get a tldr of why sanae is scum since larva flipped scum?
Sanae is scum because:

- Her push on Koishi felt fake
- Her fight with Aya didn't feel TvT and Aya is confirmed
- She made which is a scum post because she already had
very confident
reads on both of us and didn't actually need the content
- We stayed her execution yesterday because she promised to self-vig, but then she didn't self vig
- Larva jumped on Sanae wagon and then jumped off in order to equalize the wagons which possibly helped in her execution being delayed
- Both of her big scumreads from day one are confirmed town now and one of her big townreads from day one flipped scum but her reaction is not to reevalutate the the game but to vote you without elaborating (i know she did say she reevaluated peoples positions after acceding aya and koichi are town but i expected more out of a townie). Also the fact that she was universally pushing only town day 1 (yeah i'm preflipping kagerou sorry not sorry) is a bad look.
- poe

Sanae is town because:

- She says she is town repeatedly
- I guess she had the same reads Clownpiece and I had early on and we're both town so maybe she was also town?
- yeah

I'm sorry Sanae but if you are town your solving is really lame

Anyway I agree with Koishi and Clownpiece that we should wait for Aya and I also think we should wait for Reisen because as much as I would like to just pew pew everyone except Reisen, myself and the three conftown (I'll miss you), we don't really have enough clears for that so I would like to make sure Reisen is town before I clear her (or not).

P-edit: You are so very welcome. Since we are not killing you until later, feel free to step up your solving! I may even go back to thinking you are super cool like I did back at the beginning of the game, when I called you Sanae-Sama.
This is tonal whiplash. But I don’t really know what, if anything to make of it. Can’t you two bicker in the scum PT if that’s what that is?
It's probably a combination of being bored to death of this day phase, alternating between role playing and not roleplaying, and talking to my scumread who I'm pushing as if she could be town because I really want to not be wrong so if she's town I want to find her but at the same time I'm pretty confident she's scum, that's producing the tonal whiplash.

Anyway if I were scum with Sanae, Daiyousei would've been dead eons ago and Larva would probably still have been alive.

In post 4021, Marisa Kirisame wrote: Yeah I guess this makes sense in a scum!Sanae world. Knowing that all the non-voters were town basically meant that is Sanae was scum Larva had to change vote to let her live, since they couldn't count on non-voters. Also the Larva progression of voting Sanae and then working back into an Ichirin vote feels planned, which is more likely to happen in a scum!Sanae world than in a world where the wagons were TvT. Right? Someone sanity check me please.

There's a fair amount I don't want to talk about in response to this until/unless I find myself in 3-way ELO for paranoia-level infosec reasons. It's not you specifically, it's general excessive caution. But I will at least say I didn't go into detail about this until now because I didn't feel like publicizing it when there was no tangible benefit to doing so, while I could let Mafia stew on the mystery for a while by keeping quiet about it instead.
I don’t actually think it would be difficult to paraphrase here and the bar you’re worried about isn’t an issue with some thought and slight effort.

I’ve pretty much never seen someone conscious of verbatim quoting get banned or suspended because they weren’t careful enough. You really don’t have to direct quote almost anything the English language has a large number of variations and replacement words to convey the same meaning.

But you know what’s weird? I still believe you even though I don’t know why I should. I guess it’s because you admitted to it.

Even though *that* doesn’t make sense either because those questions are going to come at you hard and fast tomorrow. And would be worse for you if you claimed then than now.

Weird world

Given that line of thinking/questioning, I think I can see now where the hangup is, which means I can answer slightly better. I was not told I would be inflicted with a penalty for reviving, no. Thinking about it in RPG terms, the price of reviving is like discarding a limited item rather than like taking on a passive debuff.

Combination of scumreading Marisa/Reisen/Kagerou and feeling better about you after livechatting and you coming to the same conclusions as me but earlier

What part of Dai claiming a self res makes her scum?

I just find the sacrifice pretty toothless.
So it bothers me and is worth looking into.
For example perhaps it’s a scum counter to Kagerou.

Or the opposite.

Albeit it just sounds like an inbuilt self-balancer for their other ability that can cause them to die.

Well it doesn’t have to be just one thing.
