Apologies for lack of posting, I was unexpectedly away yesterday. Catching up:
Shakerag:I think Jack and UI are both likely town, maybe moreso Jack.
Why? In detail: why Jack more than Imiknorris? Why "town" rather than "not Tiruin's scumbuddy"?
Why have you not answered this question? Please do. Do you think Jack is
town? Why?
Jack:Jack AT: Mr.D was a brother to you, wanted you to win, so claimed and flipped, but you didn't even raise an eyebrow about it. Are you a brother as well? There's been quite a few claims, but I don't think I've seen one from you. Please state in full your class, alignment and win condition.
Bookthras: ...what. There was no reason whatsoever for me to believe that Mr. D was my brother, beyond his vague "someone who is voting me is my brother" statement (note that he didn't claim to be my brother), until his flip. I didn't raise an eyebrow before the flip because I wasn't on at that time. I didn't raise an eyebrow about it after the flip because [...] it meant nothing, and all the relevant questions leading to it meaning nothing had been asked by the time I got to the thread. And this...how does it indicate that I'm a Brother? At all? If that's not what indicates that I'm a Brother, what exactly does?
To answer your questions:
*While it would be amusing to have a Brother trying to make a Brother win, I am not a Brother.
Hmm.. true. He didn't claim he was
your brother, merely
a brother. That was misremembering on my part after my initial read; I thought he had claimed to be
your brother. However, I think you are not town, for two reasons, one Toaster's, one yours:
a) "Brother wins if Jack wins" and "Jack is town" means "Brother wins if
town wins", which is exactly the same as making him town to begin with. The notion of the 3rd-party being "town-ally" is frankly ludicrous and unbalanced in town's favour. It makes much more sense for him being brother to a different non-town 3rd party.
and b):
In fact, how does any of that warrant even a FoS? This feels oddly flimsy, especially for this late in the game and from a veteran.
I find your reaction to the question excessive. Really? not even warrant a FoS? Oddly flimsy? Especially from me? Isn't that a bit overdefensive for a freaking FoS? Plus you immediately point me to look for 3rd parties elsewhere:
Finally, what are your thoughts on Hapah and Shakerag? You're speaking as if you think they could be third parties, but you don't actually seem to be examining that possibility. You're strongly pushing the conversation towards thoughts on Imiknorris and I, while your reasoning for your FoS on me is poor at best.
...and then you fail to follow through; you have not made a
single effort to look or even mention 3rd parties, likely happy the topic died out. To answer: Yes, I thought anyone could be a third party, and didn't know whom, but I wasn't about to paint everybody blue (that's the same as pressuring no one, not useful), so I focused on the two scummier ones first. Makes sense, yes?
But it's true Hapah and Shake may be it. I'm pretty sure they're not Tiruin's buddy, but that doesn't make them town, so they should also be questioned. Hapah I get a pretty strong town read from, but Shake has failed to answer questions and been a bit cagey.
Jack: Who do
you think is 3rd party and why? If you were a survivor, would you claim it at this point? Other than your vote target, who is scum and why? What's your read on Shakerag? If there was a cult, which two people would you think belong to it at this point based on their interactions?
Imiknorris, Native: do you think being a brother to a townie is a possibility? If there was a cult, who do you think is likely to be in it?
