Goddamn, can't I go to school? I don't sit around all day in front of my computer wiping cheeto fingers on my underwear pondering ways to ignore you.
If you're asking why I didn't make a post earlier today: I didn't have enough time. Politely go fuck yourself if you think I should have.
Jim, can you explain your reasoning for following Bookthras last night again? You said his visiting Urist had made him suspicious. Go more into depth about the thought process there.
Imiknorris was the only claimed pilot remaining, so a visit from Bookthras and then no night kill is certainly noteworthy, but it doesn't mean a lot on its own. I followed him to see if he would try a different target. If he visited a different target, and that target died, then I would have seen him try to target Urist Imiknorris and then I would have seen him successfully target someone else. This would be potent evidence that he's scum.
Worth trying to get, I'd say.
Jim:I was pondering the possibilities myself, so I clarified with Meph about it. My action is perfectly reliable. I see anyone who physically targets a person I'm watching.
So either IronyOwl doesn't need to physically visit his target all of the time, like his flavor with Toaster might suggest. Or he's lying scum.
Given that Irony claimed the same flavor for his inspections on Dariush and me, and you were able to see the former action, how much faith do you put in the first explanation?
I put faith in my read on a player over role results. It currently says that IronyOwl is not scum. Apparently you don't like the explanations I've proposed for why this is the case. Sadly, I've got no more to offer you. There's obviously something going on for why I didn't see IronyOwl visit, and you can bet whatever way you want and I'll bet whatever way I want.
What I did was argue is that scum did something that would maximize its chances of success without taking into account what other people would think or adjusting its actions based on what other people would think. That's isn't 'WIFOM', that's just direct thinking.
It is still too WIFOM.
You're saying that if Urist Imiknorris is scum, then he would not die.
This
does not imply that if Urist Imiknorris has not died, then he is scum.
I'll pull a WUBA and arrogantly claim that this is basic logic that toddlers and very smart dogs can wrap their head around, and not very subtly imply that you are neither as smart as a toddler nor a very smart dog. It's fallacious to conclude that Urist Imiknorris is scum because he hasn't been killed, other arguments in support of that particular conclusion notwithstanding. (Which I also find weak.)
Everyone, I think Jim should go, and for one reason alone.
He knew who the doctor was, and now the doctor is dead.
And not just happenstance dead but, assuming Urist is telling the truth, directly targeted dead.
If he does, in fact, have an anti-tech device, which seems reasonable, the no kill makes a whole lot more sense. Shakky, what sort of shield did you say you had?
As mentioned, an anti-tech device is not defense against mundane (i.e., non-tech) targeting attempts. Even then, Bookthras was guarding Imiknorris, so if I tried to take out Imiknorris during Run Phase 3, Bookthras would take the hit and Imiknorris would get notification that I tried to target him. Urist Imiknorris having an anti-tech field doesn't explain jack about why there was no night kill during Run Phase 3.
Is there any more shit you'd like to sling at me in the hopes it'll stick?
He knew who the doctor was, or at least may have known because he was watching the last pilot and seeing who visited him.
Maybe I knew?
Good to see how confident you are with this theory.
