If I understand the mech correctly everyone who targeted you N1 was notified of all the other people who targeted, and Vermillion claimed BP aware bodyguard who blocked a kill. So if Vermillion is telling the truth either someone tried to shoot Vermillion N1 (possible, but I think unlikely) or one of the other two tried to shoot you.
Got it, that was my original expectation too and why I originally said the attempted killer was very likely to be one of AP or Oliverz.
Verm's since revealed he redirects kills from whomever he guards to himself, then handles them through some other mech to not die. That's great but complicates things because that means I never got successfully targeted by that NK.
If that's the person's only action, then that person actually never landed an action on me, so would not be 'among the counted' - if they happened to aim something like a cleaner action + NK, I'd have been hit by the cleaner action but the NK would redirect to Verm. So in that probably low probability circumstance, that person is 'among the counted'.
But if the killer(s) threw only NK at Vermilion/myself, then they're definitely not 'counted' by me yet.
I am curious why you're concerned about hammering today when D1 you were perfectly happy to hammer no elimination early. It was only 30 minutes early but it still cut off discussion.
Like 2 whole days and unanswered questions currently from a LOT of people plus many people who haven't said much/answered questions/reacted and I place the first vote on someone; versus I didn't personally hammer no elim and it's close to end of day and not much time for anyone else to say much, and my vote puts us E-1 from hammer on no vote, and these two situations look the same to you, seriously?
What reality are we in, 4mask? Are you okay? Hugs and comfort to you, deep breaths or a nap if you need them maybe. I'm not sure what's going on but your logic seems pretty off.
I do not like hammers, and that's also the first no-elim I've participated in that I can remember. I'm generally very against them, this is a weird game and I have a role that can do more than guess, which helped. Also, it's a B12 BYOR-variant. Some of these people are probably pro-town key and locks for each other, this is a good thing if they can find each other and willing to see what happens. But that's no-elim related. 'almost end of day' and no-elim was fine to me to help a hammer. I have other answers to work on with my current role.
Now, if you're scared I have a nice cult going, happily that's not the case and there's a load of inspects of various sorts. I just inspected Verm N2, if he's currently converted it happened after my N2 inspect. I'm currently town, so life's good in my eyes. People who can when and if they think it's needed, inspect anywhere.
But I'm generally discouraging of hammers before close to end of day, and concerned they might happen.
I don't think you specifically need me dead, I think that if you're a wolf and role peeked me this is probably exactly how you'd play it. You know how my role works and know you have plausible deniability for my flip.
What pattern does it match, exactly? My wolf pattern? My wolf pattern is high activity, same as town, so me not posting for two days would generally be assumed to be real-life related (as it was) rather than alignment related.
Like this explanation makes no sense to me. "your first post today looked different from yesterday" Yeah it was a one-line confirmation that I'd received a gift I'm not sure what you'd expect it to look like?
You ask why I didn't think you were a cop slowrolling it and it could well be the case, but you didn't play it like one. Your posts are massive so I admit I mostly skimmed them when I was catching up but you didn't apply pressure or even vote me on grounds unrelated to your claim to hide the fact that you'd peeked me from my potential scumbuddies, you just vagueposted about my inactivity and claimed a peek.
I see. Well, you're really guessing about the how I'd play as a wolf bit. Not sure why any wolf would play as I have this game, but if you wanna discuss the specifics of why that makes sense to you, I'd listen closely and think carefully about what I can understand about your perspective.
I've never been a cop that wasn't already 100% confirmed no chance to hide (FBYOR, my freaking bodyguard threw me into a different supercop's town form, allowing/causing that player to die and murdering my precious role, but hey, I was now a mostly confirmed town supercop with a didn't ever die bodyguard keeping me up as I inspected folks over and over).
At this point I'm hoping Imp is scum so I can enjoy watching them squirm as we make them dance the supercop dance and also not break Hector's post restriction. Continuously having to help the town, until eventually...there's no one left to inspect. Their batteries run out, and the dancing toy stops moving.
Farewell that game, we were both town there, me and my bodyguard who murdered all I loved, horri-neutered me, and made me what town needed me to be instead of what I wanted to be. Oh well, that happens.
This is how I'm playing, here, hi. I still don't get how you see me putting myself in this web of claims is something I think I could succeed at, as an evil. Apparently this makes sense to you, I'm listening if you choose to discuss, because it tells me stuff about your mindset and that can help me understand you better. If you are pro-town I want you alive, same as everyone else.
Okay I could be completely misreading it, but I'm pretty sure in context it was a clear hypothetical of "I could be a wolf IF this specific event is the case."
This one's about Vermilion's additional claim of the dead player stuff.
My question for 4maskwolf - who do you see saying "I could be a wolf", are they saying it about themself, about YOU, or what? I want to understand with names who you think is saying what about this, please, I'm totally confused.
Erm... that's exactly what I did? I claimed my track result once Juicebox claimed to back up what he was saying?
Yeah, we're stuck with the fact that D3 is like from Thursday late to Tuesday kinda late, almost 5 whole days, so 1 post between Thursday late and Sunday sometime is both a VERY long time and hardly more than half the game day.
If you know you have a 5-rl-day-long D3, you reasonably might think "I'll handle this in 3 rl days, it'll be fine and I'm busy" vs someone else thinking, "Okay, it's been real life days, person didn't seem to react until external stimulus of being voted prompted it and that's probably the trigger".
I can see both, though I wanted to give you LOADS of time to react.
you mention you only skimmed my posts, you may have missed some stuff related to you.
First I mention I nearly ignored discussing you, waiting for you to post. And waiting. And waiting. But I talked about Vermilion, who also got an ability from me.
I do believe Vermilion.
...
Vermillion ... continue to protect any specific mech of yours if you see fit, including lie. There's other ways to resolve stuff if that could put you at risk.
...
To be clear, I strongly trust Vermilion to have town intention. ... (but I'm comfortable that Vermilion's town)
...
Vermilion, if you have mech that lets you repeatedly get alignment info on someone, I wonder why you haven't reported N2 results, but I am sure you're town so I'm not worried about that.
...
But I'm just saying they're not conf-town to me, and without mech I don't want them treated as conf town - but I'm fine with Vermilion being considered town.
... Verm's good
There's plenty of hints you COULD have caught that I may have alignment inspected Vermilion, and maybe you'd think maybe I inspected you too (or you're paying no attention to the thread at that point; I can't know, I can only play).
I tried to make some very direct questions to you, after waiting almost a day:
4maskwolf went nearly silent as of D3, confirmed "I got something N1" but has not spoken at all otherwise. Unlike Max, who apparently got something really nice and not from me, and Vermillion, who was a target for me to get something N2, both those folks seemed to think what they got was positive; 4maskwolf was really neutral or even avoidant. Townie caution? So much silence.
Which is fine. 4mask, I now want you to say what 1-shot ability you got, please. As well as, like, comment on the game. Or you can just go oh snap, people must know I'm evil, which, well, evil might be doing right now and good shouldn't be. Wanna go for a ride or just die?
And kept waiting. Welcome back to the game, what you and others post is all I have to go on, that and mech.
