Right. Having had a reread of yesterday overnight, I may have had a bit of a case of tunnel vision when it came to Web. Nonetheless, I'm going to be looking very closely at everyone on the Tric wagon, that elimination was pursued in some highly suspect ways. Especially by Toony and Web, so... still pretty invested in the possibility web is mafia, same goes for toony. Going to wait until people have had a chance to claim before I can form a judgement with much weight behind it.
Couple of questions for Web and Toony:
Also, NJW, Arsonist is the scum that primes their rarget and then ignits afterward.
I figured Vector had something that allowed them to see poison status, and that they'd also be poisoned, but I got nothing, so unfortunately, Vector has no investigative abilities.
Ok, this is confusing me a bit.
"Something that lets them see poison status?" Like see if someone is poisoned? Or see who has a poison power? I'm trying to find an interpretation of this that wouldn't be a really weird role, but I can't find one. How did you think Vector's investigative would work? Like a poison-specific gunsmith cop? I guess that's possible...
I was assuming Vector was a poison doctor or similar, and that everyone else would make a similar assumption and target them.
I don't have a night action. I'm a vengeful townie, if I'm lynched during the day I can choose to kill one player. I will be targeting Web if I'm lynched, still want to go?
You get that this gives us an incentive to elim you, right? You're like a bonus elimination, so long as we'd trust town!Toony to make the right choice.
Btw, I Delayed you Toony. If nobody comes forward as being Poisoned, we're gonna have a major problem.
Stunning analysis Roden, but you seem to have missed the vital fact that someone primed Vector. Ninja'd by your subsequent post, which I guess I'll have to read properly, but at a glance looks equally uninspiring.
The thread is already getting flooded with less than vital posts, so I'm going to try and hold back on posting for a few hours after this.
Honestly, I get it. I was rethinking through the possibilities, but I was perusing the case yesterday, and honestly, your case wasn't entirely off-merit, but I was still stuck in attack mode. I figured I'd be willing to not explode right out the gate.
When I saw you posted my exact action and the correct target, I figured it was entirely possible you're Town, which I'm sticking to for Today, especially since you also knew what it does.
If I had had more time Yesterday, I probably would've jumped off TricMagic and then started going for you, which seems like a mistake now. Oh well.
Honestly, as for why I targeted Vector, it's twofold. At first, I was planning to target ToonyMan... I was trying to think of roles that were death-related (as he had claimed) and investigative, and the best I could come up with was some type of autopsy role, but that seemed unnecesary. I reconsidered partway through because there was a good chance that Vector was going to be watched Tonight, AND in the chance that Vector had the ability to see if players were poisoned (Or could see someone using a poison ability or day ability or something.) I figured that Vector was also probably a Poison Doctor, but that also made it more likely they'd be targeted by a watch of some sort. It was a risk, and it paid off. The only other choice that was feasible was Maximum Spin, EuchreJack, or you. EuchreJack seemed like a person that would also be hit by the poison, so if I wasn't targeting them, it'd be more evidence away from myself, and Maximum Spin was softclaiming kill-stuff, which would ALSO look suspicious if I claimed targeting them with what essentially is a copying ability.
You'll notice that all of my answers are around what makes me look the least suspicious here, and that's because I know exactly how suspicious I look. You'll also notice that I basically lucked the fuck out of being immediately on the defensive. I'd like to think it's because I made a carefully considered plan, but, I'm happy with lucky too.
I'm actually going to take a wild guess and say that ToonyMan probably DOES have a Vengeful role but that he's also Mafia, so he can break a 5p lylo in his favor. That'll be why he'll be pushing for an execution Today on EuchreJack.
Of course, me saying this might make me look suspicious, but that's how I perpetually role, isn't it?
Scumteam is Roden and ToonyMan, calling it now.
I'm struggling to understand this. Do you think Toony told me to randomly hard bus him in the mafia PT? What am I supposed to gain from this?
I mean... Hardbus? Your bus had no wheels on it, Broden. I'll call it a bus when he's at L-1. But, also, yes, ToonyMan probably would absolutely tell you to do that.
