We have confirmed scum? I don't see RC as confirmed scum. What play does the scum have claiming cult on a claimed miller? We're not going to lynch based on that, so why, as scum, is he more likely to do something that doesn't make sense than as town?BM wrote: umm why are you voting for Whome, when we have confirmed scum already? 0.o
A bit over-eager? lol

I am hesitant to believe RC would be lying because I don't see the benefit as scum of doing so, except for possibly the WIFOM benefits of having done something scum have no reason to do. I'm not clearing him for it, but I have no good reason to do so (and I don't view the meta as good enough, I can think of at least one likely and other less likely scenarios in which he's still telling the truth.)-

oh dear. you knw that BM will show up guilty no matter what do you? how? surely the mod didn't say that? Do you mean a miller would show up guilty no matter what?Rosso Carne wrote:the mod just changed his mind.
i now know that BM would show up guilty no matter what.
unvoteand can he please be vigged tonight. I'm tired of these exchanges with nemesis.
Even if you were told by the mod that BM would show up guilty no matter what, this would confirm him as a miller, so why would we want him dead?

bah im torn. Armlx, check the time stamps of the two games starting. only1 dayseparating them.
Much as id like to think that we just caught Rosso in the most retarded play ever as scum, i can actually see a case for him as town, on the grounds that his claim in THAT GAME was inspired by the role he recieved at a similar time, in this game. Cult Cop isnt a role ive ever actually seen outside of IRC, but it is potentially something Jordan could come up with. Rosso's subsequent posts also fit what i would expect of an exchange between him and the Mod.
Of course, much as my gut tells me he might just be telling the truth, i cant help thinking that he is a total waste of space. I mean, his role is useless, and he's basically vanilla to us, and even if he DID have a useful role, can we expect him to do anything even the slightest bit beneficial for us? Probably not.
Even now, hes pushing non-logic in order to force a fellow weak power role to the grave. I'd not be sorry to see him die, and id hate for him to be such transparent scum and we talk himself out of lynching him because of WIFOM. But, i'm no longer sure hes scum, and if he isnt, we need somewhere else to go, either with our Vig, or for subsequent lynches.
In light of this, i want to hear what you guys think we should do with him.

Thats a good point by TS (albeit a little while ago). Rosso, who did you investigate N0?Toaster Strudel wrote:
This is complete and utter insanity.TheSweatpantsNinja wrote:If BM is a miller, then RC's claim corroborates his story.
Why on Earth would a player investigate a claimed miller? In case he gets an innocent result?
There is zero game logic in investigating a Miller.
I buy neither the claim, nor the night choice.
Also, a cult cop would announce all his innocents, not just the latest one. Being cleared of being cult doesn't mean confirmed town. Clearing them from being cult doesn't make them a NK target in any way, shape or form.

Yeah, that's a fair point.

Actually, this is the one valid point you have made. And this is the way more often than you might think. BUT, in such scenarios, the primary killer is ALWAYS the Godfather. And 95% of the time, this same Godfather is immune to investigation, which i am clearly not, having claimed MILLER. lolNemesis wrote: Sorry, I meant restricted on who makes the kills.

ok. As long as Nemesis is willing to accept that unless he can provide a recent example of such a method being used, he cannot consider this a viable option.
