What do you need to know from me? Is there something I can say except continuously proclaiming my innocence?

Hm it literally said that I went to my home. I don't think that means that I can't be targeted, in normal mafia flavor the kill targets are in their homes sleeping right?

Did everybody tell what their drinks did yet?
I immediately received (after BM closed the pub) that I decided to go home to sleep off my drunkenness, thus I will be unable to post for the day.

I disagree with a hypoclaim. I have to say it gives more info to the scum than to us. A hypocop is different - you get info every day, and it's mainly useful when the days stack up and we think the cop shouldn't have to claim. The scum only gets info when some guy makes the mistake of saying scum is town (and that's assuming there's no evidence of cops with different sanities). But a hypodoc - I'm assuming you mean we claim who we protected - if the scum did in fact kill, they will know immediately which few people are possible candidates (they protected their kill target) and kill the guy. And from this kill we still know nothing about who's scum. I don't even know what sort of information we can deduce from a hypodoc or a hyporb claim, except possibly one more innocent.

Except that in this case, scum don't know if the kill was stopped by doc, rb, or jk, so they don't know what they're looking for.
LEt's say it was a doc protect. They claim and their protection. It matches the scum kill. WHOOOPS! Rb claims, say they blocked a supposed scum. The scum know who they are. They kill the Rb. We might catch a scum. There's still WIFOM. WHOOPS
Same problem with Jailkeeper.
OK, I'd like you to rewrite this so it makes any kind of sense.
It makes sense. By hypodoc-ing and hyporb-ing, we only tell the scum who the possible docs and rbs are, since they can easily tell which ones are valid. If they manage to deduce it, they kill. If they don't, they kill some random guy, and that might still work, but the RB's claimed blocks point to other people. Even if they know, they might just save the information for later and kill randomly. We who are aware of this mindset cannot but be trapped in WIFOM, imagining that they must have killed for a reason, but perhaps it is that they think we consider this reason that they killed for no reason.
Lawrencelot wrote:But this can be solved, I think, by letting no more than 3 different targets in total be claimed.
We don't have a lot of people. Let's say two scum are here with us. This means that there are only 2 or possibly 3 candidates for the true doc/rbs.

So in conclusion, my opinion is that the info we can gain is extremely little: for the doc, just a possible inno (not even an inno if we have more than one scum group or third party people); for the RB, a possible scum (but there being an RB is unlikely). However, the info we give to the scum is a lot.

I have to ask something. If we know someone is a third party role, do we lynch them? Because I think MafiaSSK could be a third party role. Drinking alcohol doesn't seem to be an action that is pre-defined as against the town or for the town, so arguing against it doesn't seem to help or harm the town, either.

I've never heard of hypoclaim before. From what Litral says, it seems there is a downside -- narrowing down the possible docs or RB's, giving scum better chance of hitting them. I'm not a very good strategy person... is there a way around this, while still getting the info? It sounds like hypocop claim would be better and less dangerous. I would be up for that, possibly up for the whole hypoclaim.

I'm so stupid. In my latest posts, I did not realize RB has to target the scum and doc the scumtarget in order to prevent a kill. So never mind what I said Fonz...

This. Or, of course, a jailkeeper target either.

Yes. Basically, the scum know that there were only a handful of roles that could have blocked the kill. Only people claiming to have targetted the scum assigned to do the kill could be an RB who stopped the kill, and only those who claim to have targetted the intended victim could be a doc responsible for the NK.

I'm not a very good strategy person... is there a way around this, while still getting the info? It sounds like hypocop claim would be better and less dangerous. I would be up for that, possibly up for the whole hypoclaim.
Hypocop is
worse
and
more
dangerous, since it helps out a cop, which is the one role you really don't want killed, as opposed to a doc or RB, where finding one scum or clearing one innocent is worth as much or more than keeping the role alive.

The point of hypoing here, is that if we for sure knew the kill was stopped by an RB, the RB should claim. If it were stopped by a doc, the balance of advantage is probably arguable. But we can't know which it was. And obviously, if an RB claims and says 'well i blocked this player, that musta stopped the kill' and a doc claims 'well hang on, i protected this player' then we have two outed power roles and no firm leads to show.

There's also the side benefit that there may be a tracker/watcher/etc.

Btw, asking 'is there a safer way' is really pointless. No. If there were, someone would have suggested it. :D You can't reveal role info without at least some risk of outing the role.

@ Forbiddanlight: Has it not occurred to you that, if the kill failed because the scum killer was too drunk, then a hypo won't tell them anything?

Alright, fair enough. I just worked through some logic patterns and you are right. Fine, I support hypoclaim.

I think MafiaSSK is away btw. But his claim is good enough to lynch him.

It's a bit rich to deadline a game with an absent top suspect.

Mod: Has SSK been prodded?


I either targetted TM or no-one.

I suggest anyone who doesn't show up and hypoclaim by deadline be vigged or lynched ASAP.

Also, mafiassk is a good lynch today. I will vote closer to deadline or when everyone has hypoclaimed.

I think MafiaSSK lie makes him scummy. Hard to ignore such a thing. Lies = scum as far as I can ever see.

vote: MafiaSSK

No one should hammer though till he does his hypoclaim and I think literal and landlord still need to claim as well.
