That definition of conf is a lot looser than the one I use.
In a high stakes game like this one, deliberate no-kill to get "conf" is a tactic that should remain among the possible.

In the interest of maintaining complete transparency, it conf!towns Gamma in all but a few niche scenarios. I outlined a few of those scenarios in 6726.
I also wouldn't go so far as to say FL and I are masons. That whole Maria slip thing yesterday looks a lot worse considering Maria flipped scum.
P-edit - that is correct, dave. So... did you commute last night?-

I don't follow this either.In post 6743, Flavor Leaf wrote:And for DEB to be scum, you have to believe essentially scum sacrificed Maria to save DEB. I know that’s not the full story, but I find it hard to believe scum save DEB and let Nomnom have a chance at shooting them.
You could tell near the end that scum was trying not to lynch Nomnom because of fear based on wagonomics.
It's reasonable to assume that scum were worried about lynching nomnom, but that doesn't translate to anything else. It certainly doesn't translate to sacrificing Maria.Wanna play Minecraft with your ms friends? Check out the minecraft thread, or the channel on discord-

In addition to strengthening a TR on Gamma by revealing a non-commute last night, there's plenty of combo potential with your JOAT powers and the lightning rod.In post 6756, davesaz wrote:^ until I know it helps town. At this point it doesn't.
We still don't know if your commute is strictly a self-commute. If it isn't +/ if it can be redirected, then the lightning rod LMS can make another night deathless.
Your watcher ability can combo with the lightning rod to net one scum. We can ask all town to withold their actions... if scum do anything, it'll be rerouted onto the lightning rod.-

I don't particularly care about the failed/missed action on night 3 after thinking about it so if you want to keep that a secret you're welcome to imodavesaz wrote:I could have anywhere between 1 and 3 actions left, and I'm absolutely not going to reveal anything.
I also think it's pretty reasonable for scum to no-kill last night assuming you're town, but I would personally your action last night to be outed so we have a better idea of your thought process and what you thought scum were likely to do last night so that people can get a better read on your alignment. If you want to fight about it being the right play then fight about it and I can maybe be convinced but considering that you contributed basically nothing in terms of reads yesterday I feel like it's fair.
However, you ABSOLUTELY need to give reads and actually try to get scum lynched today. Dayplay is more important than nightplay in general, today as the first day with a flipped scum especially, and if you try to be cheeky with 'oh well not playing the game will optimize my night action' again I will 100% try to get you lynched for it.-

Meh, it doesn't matter either way, because even if you didn't,, where else would you have aimed? Your ability only works on HOODS. Correct? You can't -say- RB FB or dave now. Am I correct?In post 6736, kuribo wrote:In post 6732, Almost50 wrote:Impressive! *Slow clapping*
I'll wait for people to out their votes/actions last night though. We obviously didn't vote to silence anyone.
Wouldn't have mattered if you had, I again voted to block your ability (Ank's to be specific) and I told panth so. He agreed that he would be voting Ank as well.
I told y'all two days ago neither of you would be able to use that ability again and I meant it.

Voting one of my of my top TRs feels weird even to me, but you're not playing the game on your own. We need the info to make logical deductions and you're not helping.

Ank "may" have had a point in Maria RBing your invention to explain why it never was given out.

nom (TMVP so far btw) had her shot land on Maria out of nowhere. Scum's worst case scenario was for her to venge DEB still (which would have been better than straight up lynching DEB). If you and AnK are both Town those were her 2nd most likely shots.In post 6743, Flavor Leaf wrote:And for DEB to be scum, you have to believe essentially scum sacrificed Maria to save DEB. I know that’s not the full story, but I find it hard to believe scum save DEB and let Nomnom have a chance at shooting them.

I also find it pretty amusing Scum didn't shoot in FL/EP! If both were Town then one is already dead last night and the other is dead the next night. regardless of whether they used the Lightning Rod. Either way they get rid of the Doctors and have an open filed to play in.In post 6744, Flavor Leaf wrote:I think scum have to mislynch one of DEB/Gamma or this game’s done for them. EP and I are pretty much masons at this point, DEB is spewed town because of Maria scum, Gamma just got doc’d.
However, with one Scum in FL/EP Scum have only one target to shoot there, and then the Scum "Doctor" not using the Lightning Rod would have been a Scum claim.
Don't forget the Commuters are dissolved, so the Doctors are totally unprotected. Now what Scum passes on that and aims for gooey (where there is a chance he was protected) or dave (where there is a chance he commuted)??

The No Kill wasn't meant to conf!Town anyone. At least that was not the primary motive. The main reason would be to keep the numbers at EVENS.In post 6752, davesaz wrote:That definition of conf is a lot looser than the one I use.

Btw, #3 makes non sense to me at all. Why would Scum FL lie about whom he targeted and still no kill? What does he gain from the two combined?In post 6753, EspressoPatronum wrote:In the interest of maintaining complete transparency, it conf!towns Gamma in all but a few niche scenarios.

Maria fought the DEB lynch tooth and nail, so that is still my preferred lynch for today.

That's not quite what I meant by scenario #3. Here's what it would entail:In post 6767, Almost50 wrote:

1. Scum!FL heals Dave
2. I heal Gamma
(Note - the heal target is randomized within Dave + Gamma in this case)
3. Scum tries to kill Gamma
4. Gamma doesn't die
5. FL realizes I must have saved Gamma, and thus lies about targeting Dave to escape the trap
Given that I can see where the confusion came from in our hood regarding targeting, I think this scenario is unlikely.-

OK, but my question still stands (my "other" question): WHAT SCUM shoots in gooey/dave and passes on a 100% guaranteed to succeed kill on you/FL which will ALSO get them rid of the Doctor ability for good?

I mean, if I was Scum I would have 100% shot between FL/EP last night. Why did scum shoot elsewhere (or why did they holster)?

To me, shooting between EP/FL would have outweighed keeping the game at evens by far too.

I give no priority to evens odds, wtf are you going on about?
6771 is the logic that guided my decision last night.
If the info would help town now then I’d give it now. If I say it won’t, it won’t!Wanna play Minecraft with your ms friends? Check out the minecraft thread, or the channel on discord-

I completely agree - FL and I are the optimal targets. Shooting outside of us is just delaying the inevitable.In post 6772, Almost50 wrote:To me, shooting between EP/FL would have outweighed keeping the game at evens by far too.
One explanation could be that scum thinks we'll lynch within EP/FL.
Another explanation is that FL is scum and can't afford to kill me.
