Imp, being told mafia got told to find this one person, kill them, get stuff, an then outing yourself as that person, is not very useful.
Yeah. What seems unclearly understood is:
I didn't know existing scum teams saw that ability at start of play. It was super confusingly worded, to me at least. I had asked FallacyofUrist but it took a while to get an answer and I really wanted to join play, and I thought I understood enough to make an appropriate first post.
I had no idea. I actually thought the ability's wording meant that when I died, all existing scum teams at the moment of my death would be shown that ability (pity the poor SK if that person killed me, little more balance if multiple scum teams saw it), and know that someone had killed me and gotten the stuff.
And I'm used to role PMs being private, not verbatim quoted in part to other people, so I prepared a post I thought was fine and followed all my rules and posted while I waited for my other questions.
My other answers, when I got them, revealed I didn't understand stuff - still more questions revealed my first post had just outed myself to any existing scum teams at start of play.
I was right that I didn't break any posting rules I may have. I messed up in a way I didn't even consider possible, in terms of 'good idea to do'. All since has been handling the fact that I 'pulled a EuchreJack in my own way' - but it's not people who are aware of Pirates being red that I'm revealing myself to - I'm revealing myself to any existing at start of play scum teams.
That's not cool. That guided me ever since. Reread every post from my second - where I reveal. Every detail is fully consistent.
Also, Imp. Buddy, pal. You done goofed. As a Morally Ambiguous Dragon, I was not told of this, despite being SK/Town. So either I'm lying, you're lying, or I'm town. Pick 1.
Agreed, if you are town, or SK, or cult, or survivor, or anyone other than a existing scum team at the start of play, you didn't get the message.
If you're SK, the message informs the scum team that if SK gets the kill on whoever has this ability, that SK gets the goods instead of Mafia or Pirate, the other potential killers that could get the goods instead.
The ability explicitly quotes to any existing scum teams at start of play, so I goofed indeed in my first post, not realizing I had so much to hide, but I have stated as clearly as I can (we are not allowed to quote - and what I can't quote is also, to me, confusing as heck) what is going on, so what I cannot hide from 'any existing scum teams' at start of play is revealed, and I revealed more too, so as a whole we can decide what to do.
