A straight-up tracker backup didn't make sense to me, and I was wondering if you just simplified the actual role with what you are now. I was specifically asking for the actual name of your role, and there was nothing ambiguous about the question. So acting like I'm trying to get you to quote part of your Role PM is disingenuous when all I said was "What's your role actually called?". That'd be like if we were in a theme game, I claimed VT, you asked specifics, and I started acting cagey, even though it's very easy to say "Reginald Foresythe, Expert Butterfly Collector, Vanilla Townie".
And why it's important is that given what mastina has told me about the mod, Backup Tracker as a role seemed highly unlikely to me, as its inclusion would suggest the Tracker role being super important and would increase the game falling into a Follow the Cop type mentality, which Smith has been shown to be adverse to. It's why I asked her if Backup Tracker would be something that Smith would include in a game. I even asked about Backup Investigator. And she said that the role would be unlikely, and he'd probably include something along the lines of Universal Backup. So yeah, I've been pretty skeptical about your claim, but given that there have been no other PR claims, it makes me think it's a little more likely, and the mod is just trying to counterbalance day talk.
Thanks for the reply. I was confused by what you meant because I said I was the backup tracker and didn't know why that needed any clarification, but that makes sense.

@deas
why did you track me? do really thought that out of the remaining alive players that if I was scum, I would have made the kill?
My thinking was that if you were scum, it was either with Bins or Bulba.
If you're scum with Bins, it's imo kind of a coin toss whether you or Bins makes the kill? I don't really know how it would make much difference either way.
If you were scum with Bulba, I imagine you could have made the kill in order to protect Bulba, who could have been quite reasonably expected to survive to end game if not caught in making the kill.
But I didn't actually go into all this thought when I submitted the action. I just tracked you because I thought you were most likely to be scum and there was no big reason I could see for you not to make the kill.
Why do you think you wouldn't have made the kill?
