Oh, I thought people-who-won-with-humans was a majority?
Regardless, I was thinking of strategies.
Maybe everyone could claim human or non-human?
Although I don't know if that'd help/solve anything.
Someone with more time and a better brain should think on this.-

Wait, does your whole faction win with the other factions allied to you or is it just you as a single player if you're the last one left?
VOTE: Elsa and Anna

I think what is confusing me is the line for each faction that says "Have one XXXX alive and only one of the YYYY/ZZZZ live. All others die."
So does that mean that in the scenario that there's only 1 XXXX and 1 YYYY left, they both win for their whole faction?
And, similarly, if only 1 XXXX, 1 YYYY, and 1 ZZZZ are alive, who wins?
I'm so confused now.-

P-EDIT: Okay, that makes more sense. Well, shit then. I guess there's no real ways to game the setup and oust scum super easy.-

So, what is the 'town' reaction?
You're severely limiting yourself and weakening your game if you think anyone of any alignment is incapable of anything.-

Because that outs all the turians and asari, which makes their chances of winning slim to none so long as the other factions decide 'screw those guys'?-

As far as I am aware, we should be lynching the people with nightkills.
I don't think there's any claiming/setup gaming we can do D1 to help us to that end.
Elsa/Anna confirmed for most likely not Taurian/Asari
Which spikes the chances of Elsa/Anna being a faction I want to get rid of.
Unless they're just human and gross.-

Yeah, it's a six-faction game and my chances of winning are rubbish anyway, so
I'm Turian. My character card is blue, my name is Tarquin Victus and my human-fake-claim is David Anderson.
Since Beeboy's already pushing that I softed one or the other so hard, chances are that people are going to play around it anyway, and I don't think I gain anything from keeping this in the dark.
Apologies to my other Turi-bro if I fucked this up, but even if I die, you can still win with the humans.
P-EDIT:
@Beeboy: Let's just lynch 'em.-

@FA_Q2: I don't think anyone else should claim. I only claimed because I felt everyone was going to assume I'm Taurian/Asari anyway and I think Claiming was what was best for me at the time. I still like Elsa's plan is terrible and they're probably not Human-aligned.
@Nosferatu: So it's a higher priority to lynch in an unclear pool rather than lynch a definitive alignment if the definitive alignment is lower priority than people who are in the unclear pool?-

Beeboy, I can only check is someone is a Turian. The only results that I think I get are 'Turian' or 'Not Turian'.
But if you are Asari, it's all fine. Let's try to lynch dudes that are a common threat and just hope that one or the other gets killed so we don't have to have a popularity contest in endgame.-

@Suzune: So long as there are no false-positives and another Asari investigates him at night, we'll be fine.
If he fake-claimed Asari, that can be easily checked against.
Sure, it outs an Asari, but it also gets him turbo-lynched/forces a 1v1 very early on.-

@curiouskarmadog: Probably between gut, TTH being second on the pile-on, the nature of TTH's vote vs Party Boat's, and the fact you voted TTH which made the TTH wagon more realistic?
If that doesn't satisfy you, I don't have an answer that will.-

Look, I may be rubbish, but I'm not scum.
@Hastur & Muriel:From my point of view, if Beeboy isn't Asari, that will be confirmed very soon (as soon as D2, if we're lucky). Yes, down the line, I want to lynch him. Right now, though, a lynch not on him gives me a higher chance of lynching Geth or Krogans. While I know that I can win with Solarians, I also would prefer to win with humans, because aligning myself against a majority of the game is rubbish anyway. There's no real way for me to differentiate between Solarians and Krogans, so, from my point of view, here's who I want to lynch most:
Krogans > Geth > Solarians = Asari > Humans
Basically, I need Geth gone to win the game and so does an Asari Beeboy. We can work together on this angle and since neither of us can distinctly pair down the killing factions, Solarians and Krogans become a single entity we're both aligned against because we're working in Human's best interests.-

I think it's the other way around--RC's the kind of player scum will keep in the game because of their unreliability. You want someone who isn't clear-cut as town as you get closer and closer to LYLO. I think that, given their play here, the chances of them being unreliable or scum are both very high. I'd rather spend a lynch there than end up in a LYLO situation with them.-

They're a liability to everyone but the killing factions, so they should be lynched.

Fake-claiming either Asari or Taurian is nonsense unless you're some sort of godfather role, so positing that beeboy is anything but Asari or Godfather is pointless.-

How is that a scum thing to say?
It's prefaced as a thought experiment, and while it does otherize 'humans' from the speaking voice, it's also not so outlandish to think about.
I hardly think it's a scumclaim. Rather, the speed at which many players have latched on to the Bait wagon should be telling, if not of Bait's faction, then of the quality of play you should expect from these people.-

@Elsa & Anna: No--the factional cops only tell you if someone is of YOUR OWN faction or NOT. It doesn't tell you 'ally' or 'enemy'. An Asari-Cop would learn 'Asari' or 'Not Asari'. Read the fucking setup. Furthermore, I used the word 'Fakeclaiming' when talking about Beeboy--I am not fake-claiming. I do not know if Beeboy is or not, but if he is, then it is very likely that he has some sort of role that returns 'Asari' to Asari-Cops.-

I can literally prove you wrong right now.
MOD, in the SETUP NOTES in the first post, how does the "Individual Asari Cop that cannot be framed or redirected" function? Does it return 'Friendly' or 'Foe' results or does it only tell an Asari if the target is 'Asari' or 'Not Asari'?
Also, there's only one Asari Cop. I don't know where this idea that every Asari was an Asari-Cop came from.
Holy shit just read the fucking setup-

I think Elsa & Anna are interpreting the Turian and Asari Cops as alignment cops, which would return "Friend" or "Foe" unless otherwise stated in the role PM.
However, I'm almost positive the Turian and Asari Cops search only to see if a player is Turian or Asari.-

@Nahdia: No, they're just guaranteed that, among their race, there is one Same-race Cop. At least, that's what the setup notes say.
@Elsa & Anna: The guaranteed Asari cop in the setup checks to see if a player is an Asari or not--they are not an alignment cop. The mod will come in and confirm that soon enough.
@Beeboy: We need that shit spelled out by the mod if it's supposed to be public info, otherwise people who don't have reading comprehension will make shit pushes and ruin the game over it.-

Or, unless I'm literally stupid...
MOD: Does the word 'Individual' in the Setup Notes for Asari and Turian mean that, among these factions, an Individual player is guaranteed to be a cop for the faction, or does it mean that EVERY player in the faction can target an Individual as a part of their Asari/Turian Cop ability?
Or, basically, what Nahdia just asked-

That's only the case if the rest of the Turians have the ability to check if I'm Turian.In post 579, Nahdia wrote:Again, calling Varsoon's claim into question is still pointless because his claim is extremely verifiable....
If 'Individual' in the Setup Notes refers to a singular Turian having that ability, it's still verifiable, but much less so.
Regardless, we'll know for sure soon as the mod lets us know.
@Beeboy: Why the funk wouldn't the mod let us know in-thread? It's supposed to be PUBLIC info.-

@Elsa & Anna: Beeboy Claimed Asari.
Assumably, three other Asari exist and ALL OF THEM can check if he is an Asari or not tonight--doing so doesn't count against their other night actions they may have, either, so there is no reason that at least one Asari doesn't check him.
