A better way of saying it would be that I don't think the kind of player Saix appears to be would claim this as scum.

Do you disagree?

Do you disagree?
Confirmable killing roles aren't exactly common scum claims - additional killing power is pretty unbalanced in scum hands and claiming something that will get you killed the instant you can't prove it when there are a number of people in your corner seems like a weird play.

I mean. You're right that I am an incredibly cyclic player. But I haven't been in uncertainty mode in months. The opposite, I've been spewing confidence strongly in every single game I can recall...except for this one. You're saying I'm confident in this game but what the fuck gave you that impression it's literally the opposite. (Yes I know I'm making your point for you anyway just the other way around because this game being uncertainty when other games are certainty does stick out but. I can't let this stand.)
You've not expressed that unconfidence in this game, though? Or it didn't come out that way to me reading in catch-up mode. And I thought I had seen some uncertainty in a recent game I spectated. You expressed and pushed reads in ways that didn't looked ambivalent at all.

Demyx 1.0's interactions with you look like they were townreading you. Maybe your indecision about how to structure reads lists was a symptom I missed.

I would like to use my passive killing ability (death for someone who nightkills me) rather than active killing ability (vig).
The first ability ensures a town till the endgame. If I use my vig ability, I will be an effective VT and have less of a use to the town.

The passive ability is pretty great if you were a universal townread and someone who was likely to be killed by scum. The active one is pretty great if you're widely suspected.

As of right now, you fit into the second category. Maybe you can rally the town to stand behind you, but people are dumb and unless you pull out some crazy stops you're probably going to have to resort to using the active killing ability.

It took me a moment to figure out what posts you were referring to. The types of interactions I usually use to form reads probably aren't going to happen in this game so I'm trying to draw more out of interactions players have with other players.

This post by Axel is like a distillation of what gets said to a confirmed town who isn't totally fucking up and can't be ridiculed for a stance. It's a much less subtle approach than Vexen's was. It's a level of politeness that I don't often see in mafia.

I'm not townreading the post.

I did want to townread some of his day 1 posts that expressed a lot of frustration at being scumread while not being engaged, though.

His stances are monochromatic and writ large, and even more so after using his ability on day 1. A playstyle like this makes the player an easy mislynch in some player lists. I feel cautious about scumreading him, and I'm cautious about whether his ability makes sense for scum.

How does me vigging someone confirm me as a town? I could still be a scum and pass off my kill as a vig kill. Alternatively, if I am a town, scum team may desist from killing anyone and frame me as a scum for a single NK. There are several ways in which they can frame me and I don't wanna get into it, but the point is you can never be sure.

The only way you can be completely sure is if there's a cop in the game. If there is a 1-shot cop, better target me and take me to the endgame. Even if you die later in the game coz you claimed, you will ensure that there is a conf town in the end.

It's useful to think of me as universal townread even if you don't actually think that. Even if you think I am a scum, you can focus right now on lynching "my partners". Coz in the best scenario, you make sure that there's a player alive who's if not confirmed at least a potential town in the endgame.

Lynching is the only likely way I will be shown the door, unless the scum can afford to reduce by 1. I can go to the endgame if people believe me.
So, a PGO/Vig then?
Do you get that choice every night, or once you kill are you permanently a vig?

I'll work on this to put it into more words. It's various little alarm buzzers. One of the alarms was for the "you should keep me alive for a while even if I were scum" thing he said once or twice. I also felt pretty heavily buddied in our exchange a couple days ago, though to be fair it probably went both ways because I had a pretty strong idea who he is in a player list where I wouldn't hazard a guess for the majority of players. If he is who I think we haven't played together very often and ordinarily we wouldn't have a comparatively congenial chat like that.

My bad, I missed that bit.

In that case...
UNVOTE:

A PGO claim doesn't preclude someone from being scum imo, but being specific to nightkills probably does.

Saix, do you still die if you get targetted by a kill?

I'm not sure buddying conftown is really AI.

While scum would want to avoid being pushed by you, for obvious reasons, Town is also pretty likely to be amicable given that we know you can be trusted.

I'd be more concerned with scum trying to discredit you as a VI or something similar to mitigate the utility of that trust, which was a major component in my Saix read.

I am going to look through Vexen's ISO for those other alarms though, and may wind up voting anyway.

Saix MIGHT have given me a TINY BIT of tunnel vision

Only one of the two abilities, only once a game.
I die if someone NK's me.
If someone NK's me before I use my abilities, I guess I become a bomb. I am not sure about this. I can choose to be a vig only before someone NK's me. Then, I have no choice but to be a bomb I am guessing.

Mnnnngggghh

Vexen's a hard read for me.
There's a lot I really like about the slot, but also a few posts scattered around that are sketchy enough for me not to just call him Town.

Xigbar, if at any point you feel like actually posting this case of yours instead of promising endlessly to do it later, that'd be great

UNVOTE:

There is bold theory posting in this. If Xemnas does not directly contravene this, then do not ignore it, regardless of your opinions about me. I may be able to break this game if I live through the nightphase. To that end, Luxord, please target me if you have not already chosen a neighbor today AND live till tonight. Giving you all of my information is more likely to see it coming out than not giving it to you.

Xemnas, I'm demanding a stay of execution from you on the basis that you apparently know who I am and know me well enough to know the following. If I am town, I'm going to both get nightkilled fairly quickly AND suggest a plan of action with a very high chance of solving the game entirely. Mass claim is tomorrow, and I will be winning this game for us if you let me do my thing.

Things you have not clarified about your role which you should absolutely NOT clarify about your role:

1. Whether you lose the PGO on the night you choose to kill or afterwards.
2. Whether you regain the PGO on later nights after having killed.

Again, you should not clarify either of these points because A. Such clarification would do nothing for town and B. IF you are town, such clarification would do everything for scum.

You should use your vig shot either today or tomorrow. Don't make it a logical choice. Use Random.org, with a weight of 70 tonight/ 30 tomorrow. The one thing that is most important to your role is getting a kill in addition to the scum kill, so you should shoot someone who is not likely to eat an NK regardless of the scumteam. Choices there are: Xaldin if you kill tomorrow, Luxord, me if I don't end up claiming today (I'm going to, because making scum kill me is better than making town kill me), etc. Under no circumstances should you shoot Xigbar, Roxas or Xaldin. Roxas and Xigbar because of me and my waffling on which to target, and Xal because no fucking duh. If you absolutely have to shoot one of them, let me know and I'll narrow down my choice in the thread today, but your action will fail if we target the same player.

Do you disagree?
If this is a fakeclaim, it's a mod provided one. I say this both because Anti traditionally provides fakeclaims and because the role is VERY similar in both construction and scope to mine.

There IS a possibility that this is a scumrole, though a very slight one. In that case, there will be an insane amount of town power, or possibly a bulletproof cop. If there's a bulletproof cop, please investigate Saix tonight. This is why I fucking hate PGO's, they're screwy as all hell for balance.

EVEN BETTER. Saix, no kill tonight, regardless of what you do. If anyone has a night action that they confirm succeeds (i.e. fruit vendor), target Saix tonight. I'd prefer not to use a protective or a cop, because that is literally the optimal use of his power as scum. Claiming to get a doc or cop target and letting the PGO kill them. In this case, you will be missed, and avenged. Xaldin, don't target him.

Both Saix and Xemnas need to not talk about their roles anymore today.
