It's even a thinner tell than the core one, but adds to a general sense of value in the wagon to my eyes.

Bing bing bing

Only mechanical advice I got is BG optimal play is probably to protect IC. Not because the IC or this specific IC is necessarily the most valuable protection, but because we can take an IC death to then imply there's no Bodyguard (since scum don't have a roleblocker). Plus the only real benefit of BG dying is... self-confirming that there is in fact a BG.

I feel like you're getting enirely too involved in the setup...

Actually I was trying to think if it meant anything about Wisdom's alignment, since he replaced Dunn who confirmed "too late".

That's WIFOM and why are you considering when someone confirms a scum/town tell?

In post 60, Judge Joseph Dredd wrote:I'm actually thinking it's a town slot, since decisions were probably made in his absence yet he did confirm in the end. If he was posting in the scum pt either his partners or the mod would have reminded him to send the confirmation pm, but that's all probably outguessing the mod. Same for the mod noting that the new roles will be send after the initial 72 hours "so as not give away alignments". Wisdom would have needed some time to discuss with his partners, bit the "not to give away alignments" suggests it wasn't necessary, so Wisdom probably isn't scum.

Again, WIFOM. Why the fuck is this even a discussion?

LITERALLY anyone can miss a pm. For hello sake, I almost did for the first role pm. Whoops. Guess I'm scum for that. Right? Now don't ever think about discussing that again.

Considering this.

But also, could just be town being weird.

Is it not good to be involved in the set up? Don't think we want to discourage potential town from reading through and making solve attempts...
Also i forgot jmo was the IC
But with that in mind, this is probably our second scum
Would wagon as well
V WKy post

We aren't trying to SOLVE the setup. I've gone through this in my head even before drawing IC and it still wouldn't rrally be beneficial. It all goes back to WIFOM that players can hide behind while posting to look town.

Oh god I'm already so many pages beyond and I barely skimmed page 1

But isn't it bad for the IC to be answering questions directed at unsorted slots

The only way slots get sorted is to die. So yeah, I'm goig to input and talk about as much as I can.

As an IC, what do you propose I do?

Don't be so applogetic, or I'll think you're scum. Lol

So, I like to catch up and post on individual posts that I agree or disagree with. I've never been great at making cases, just breaking down the game and getting better with reads as the game goes on and I see patterns/changes in play.

Used my IC status in this setup to justify literally not posting (I'd get lynched otherwise), shitposted a bit, poked a few players, then nailed the entire scumteam in EoD post.

IC is in a very unique position.

You can be active, but
don't show your hand as IC until you're ready to murder people
.

Ah, right. I'll work on that.

I was posting too much, now I'm posting too little. I see how it is.
