I agree. RC's scumhunting and deductive reasoning, as well as his leadership capabilities focused Town and pushed it to an early win.
Don't get me wrong here, I disagree with the overuse of Town!gambits and found them to be a distracting and ineffective tactic, but RC earned this win."Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"

I faked an innocent on RC because I recognized his play as something I would do as town, mostly because what RC did day 1 was a plan I had thought about after my first game, in which I was a 1-shot BP. If JJD hadn't flipped town I would have retracted immediately day 3 and pushed a lynch on RC. I knew the moment I survived that night that I was almost certainly roleblocked. As for why I didn't retract... I was worried about Lynch All Liars. Honestly now that I think about it, Keyser and RC probably would have kept the rest of town from lynching me if I had retracted.In post 4101, Pine wrote: There were an absolute crapton of Town fakeclaim gambits this game. I'm looking at you, Rautherdir and RC.
I don't find them to be helpful or pro-Town. Theyrepeatedlyalmost screwed Town over, to the point where it was sheer dumb luck that they didn't. Rautherdir claimed roleblock at the start of D3, after MBGjust happenedto jailkeep him the night before. If he'd claimed any kind of investigation at all, it would have (and should have) gotten him MLed. He also faked an innocent on RC (I think) which could have been disastrous if it had been wrong and believed.
But anyways, enough blatant excuses, Good Game everyone!
pEdit: Yes, Keyser and RC are the most valuable players of this game.-

I was reading NachoMama's posts and saw how he caught the GF (Kata-whateverhisnameis) in his death by hiding behind the GF.
I did see your twilight masonizer gambit too. I thought it was pretty awesome move on your part!-

Hm okay. Most of this isn't news to me.In post 4122, Pine wrote:
It's pretty limited. For starters, they're best used sparingly. I'd go several games between attempts, bare minimum. They are also best when they are exaggerations or minimizations of the truth, such as claiming Doc when you're actually a Bodyguard, or Cop as a Hider. My various waffling about my abilities in Clumsy's Curse of Strahd mini is a good example of a Town lie.In post 4114, Grendel wrote:What are some situations you've seen that you'd classify as a town fake claim done right?
When they're bad is when they're provably or demonstrably falsifiable, or when they're made without a clear-cut and direct agenda. Anything that requires you to produce results that could be found to be wrong is dangerous. Doubling down on investigative roles greatly complicates setup spec. Claiming Tracker would have been just fine as BP, because you might draw the kill onto your shield. But doing so flippantly for a murky reason with a robust investigator already flipped when you've already claimed something else is just unhelpful. The dead thread and I collectively rolled our eyes.
I often underplay my hand as a strong power role to avoid getting night killed. Like saying I'm a weaker variant of a strong role, Neocop vs role cop.
Likewise as a middling power role I over play my hand to draw. Ex claiming full vigilante when I'm actually X-shot.
Which is like you said. Telling the truth, but leaving out a critical component that would otherwise change how scum interacts with your slot.-

Interestingly enough my strong town read of Nancy came from her making a case against her town read of RC to hunt for opportunistic scum that might jump onto the wagon.In post 4126, Rautherdir wrote:

I did the exact same thing in a previous game as town.
Nancy also did other things that heavily paralleled what I was doing in that game. Really weirded me out tbh.

If Sheep were scum utilizing a masscliam for scums benefit, why would they have encouraged LUV to fake claim what and when he did. Even if LUV was operating on the fly it seems like he would have had some intel from sheep as to what would be good claims for the situation. LUV claiming aIn post 4131, nancy wrote:

Plus I don't think there wasn't much scum chemistry between their demeanors, specifically how LUV treated Sheep. Though this point is a bit more abstract/gut.
I had no idea at what level you were operating at logically, but I definitely didn't see it coming from scum.nancy wrote:Also thanks for keeping a cool head Grendel when my read on your slot was basically spasming for 2 Days straight.
Why were you so paranoid of me?-

Yeah, well, you scary. And you know me too well. And everyone was TRing you with a deathgrip. We needed to break up the Townbloc, and you were deemed the linchpin of it.In post 4138, mastina wrote:

The roleblock was to try to frame you, just in case we were wrong. You said it would fail if you targeted scum, so we set you up to fail, mislynch a Townie, then mislynch yourself when they flipped.
The strongman was just because we needed you dead and thought you'd likely be protected.
Don't get down on yourself, Grendel. One of the most valuable things a VT can do is just plain make yourself Townread. PRs have the resort of claiming to dodge a lynch, VTs don't have the luxury. You did fine.In post 4141, Transcend wrote:grendel most obvious town in the game lol lol lol"Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"

also let's be 100% clear
gin you were dying the next day. you were not walking that one off.
the guilty was to bait a nightkill and keep MBG alive, not because I had any doubt that you would die.2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.-
