Max I'm willing to take you up on looking for Lidku's partner in discussion only for today. I am not willing to give up a lynch on confirmed scum in order to take a blind shot at maybe-scum.
Right, I agree with this. Personally, I'd take the shot if I felt it was really really obvious and eat the blame for the loss if it came down to it, but I don't really think it's getting to that point today anyway. Certainly the Tric Interaction doesn't rise to that level even though I find it suspicious.
Having said that, the oddity last night of your interaction only has three possibilities:
A) FoU did not use Mug on you last night, so FoU is scum.
B) You are lying and Mug DID block you last night, and you are lying in order to avoid FoU becoming confirmed town because you are the last scum.
C) You are both telling the truth and a third party roleblocked FoU, and this third party is the final scum.
In the case of option C, we need to see who has un-accounted-for actions. My action is clearly accounted for, and I confirm that Shakerag's is, this means that in case C the only possibility is TricMagic.
As a result I believe we can fullclear both myself and Shake for mechanics reasons, pending Lidku flipping scum. Is this reasonable to you?
I won't say
fullclear, as I've seen web give scum multiple-acting for exactly this reason (web hates mechanical clearing). But yeah, it's reasonable, and I have no intention of ever voting you if Lidku is indeed mafia, nor Shakerag unless something really convinces me that's what happened. Which isn't likely given my current suspicions.
I'd like to add that, since Fallacy confirmed not receiving an action from me, option B is impossible unless you believe I can choose whether to give those out, which doesn't really make sense, since I would have had no reason to do it n1 in that case.
Well I'm just gonna go ahead and push the issue then.
FoU:
and Max: How likely do you both think that Lenglon and myself are the scumteam after all this?
Lol, nah. I mean, it's still in the back of my mind, it's always in the back of my mind, but if Lidku's town and you managed to goad him to react this badly, I guess you deserve the win.
Now, I do want to say one thing that's still technically possible, the thing I was referencing to TricMagic before. If Fallacy is telling the truth, it is possible for a town player to be recognized as mafia for the purposes of another ability. If he's not, it seems likely that he got the idea from somewhere. Either way, the possibility of a mafia player who is recognized as town for the purposes of other abilities would make sense to fit into the game. Other abilities such as, maybe, a town-only bodyguarding power. Notably, it seems to me that this would make a lot of sense to go with the crane ability, since that continues to increase in power, and it would make sense as a nerf for one mafia player to be unable to act through it due to counting as town - possibly specifically the one using it, so that he has to set up the partner.
That's very much trying to outguess the mod. But I think it hangs together as a minority possibility. I don't want to lose sight of it.
