I’m definitely starting to think that my world is quite different to that of the rest of players in here. In my mind, discussing what PRs we have could give us an advantage. Of course, each of the PRs are free to act as they wish and we cannot force them to do anything, but this is a team game and a team effort. It seems that my viewpoint is not shared and I fail to understand why. Like, I understand that some are afraid of giving the scums ideas, but they are doing the literally same thing in their thread anyway, plus by knowing their PR they had an advantage from the start. :dead: If I were one, figuring out the game setup would be the first thing on my list.

I believe that they definitely didn’t decide to deliberately not kill a player but were stopped by a player with a PR. Thankfully, it seems that whomever it is, is smart and saved someone from the NK.

i was waiting catboi's reaction but he didn't say anything, i think that means that it's good for him if i didn't act, coincidentally he acted last night.

@catboi do you have anything to say?
LMAO, no, I didn't act last night. Funny enough, I was suspicious of the claim of no action. Looks like I was right.

For the record, since I am now pushed to hardclaiming VT: my working theory is that the scumteam is highly inexperienced, because it is blatantly obvious who is a PR and I would have killed them last night. It's quite likely that we're in column C, and igor got lucky by claiming tracker in the setup with a jailkeeper.

I’ve lost all trust in igorsprite. It’s really intriguing that the exact thing that Val89 was talking (and I suppose warning) about before (in ). I hope that it’s just a funny coincidence and not for instance some kind of teamplay where one scum plays the messy newbie and the other expert who explains the behaviour of the other. While the appearance of Val89 in the game, which happened after igorsprite’s claim, would seem to contradict this, perhaps this was a plan devised as a way to explain igor’s false claim later in the game.

But only the person with a power role will know if igor is town or not.

Also, igorsprite, if this is some manner of contrived reaction test, you absolutely need to retract immediately, because it is a terrible play and totally unacceptable. I've already had one newbie game ruined by someone gamethrowing with a fakeclaim as town, I do not want that to happen again.

The vote on igorsprite from frogs in the early game certainly complicates things in my view, but it's hard for me to spot a potential partner. I wouldn't necessarily rule out that being a panicky bus. I think Greeting is clear because he wouldn't try to lead a vote on his partner, and igorsprite pushed back on him later in the day. The wagon hop on MafMen from igorsprite means they are unlikely to be partners, and I think the interactions between pseudoaristotle and igor are never scum/scum. realistically in my view it only leaves frogs and implosion as potential teammates for igorsprite.

it's not logical voting for me before the CC appears, and you both cannot CC because a PR would never self hammer and catboi already claimed VT

VOTE: catboi
Okay, then you're hardclaiming, good to know.

Bear in mind, if you are faking this as town, you are gamethrowing and will be singlehandedly responsible for a town loss. I highly advise not continuing with this if that is the case. It is my hope that you are simply scum faking a guilty report as a desperate play, but I can't really rule anything out with a new player who has acted strangely. Faking guilties as town is never, ever a good thing to do.

FTR, I think it's highly likely it was a jailkeeper who blocked igorsprite and can counter claim here, don't put anyone in hammer range until that happens. In the event there isn't a direct counter to igorsprite, it is technically the mechanically "safe" play to vote me here, although I feel like it should be entirely self-evident I am town, I don't necessarily blame anyone for going down that route.

Let's take this slowly.

If igor is town, then catboi is scum, meaning whoever catboi targeted is confirmed town, and the mafia already know that they're going to be confirmed town; igor should claim who they are now.

I entirely hate the direction of where this game is. I don't disagree with the idea of Eliminate All Liars, but I feel like it's the type of mantra (according to the wiki at least) that gets easily abused by scum. Also, I feel like this isn't abnormal that as scum, catboi could be completely lying about not doing anything as well to cover for themselves.

@implosion idk, i said that to instigate catboi because i think that he is scum and his reaction now just confirms that for me. btw we have a jailkeeper that targeted me, not a doctor, idk how catboi knew that because i said that a doctor targeted me

@catboi wtf, bad idea. why do you want the jailkeeper to CC me instead of the "true" tracker? for me you just want to know who is the jailkeeper because you already know that i'm the tracker

Said in the exact same sentence that I think a Val vote is a bad one :igmeou:,
plus
the fact that there's maybe enough support to get a lim on him.
