@Imp:
It's true that Toaster's actions would be easy to fake here. I'm not sure if they're faking though. Cat was a doctor and a cop combined so we do seem to have powerful roles.
Yep. I never asked a cop to claim cop. I even expressly said:
Well, I said I was willing to skim over the entire game and think about my stances, so sure, I'll try to write down my thoughts about each person.
I'll kill two birds with one stone here and actually put effort into reads then.
Toaster:
Cool!
One more thing I wanna ask you to put serious thought into.
At night, most of us can do actions. It's actually really rare, but sometimes happens, that someone doesn't (or can't) do at least 1 night action. Rarely some of us can do a day action (it's more common than being unable to night action).
Many of us on Day 2 have made a claim about what we did N1. This does not have to be true or complete. Because you are new, I highly recommend you do not lie about your night actions, however, 'Not ready to say yet' and 'nothing to report' are commonly accepted for when you don't wanna say yet or at all this day.
Generally, it's best to have some kinda pro-town reason why you don't report what you did, but that can be kinda advanced to figure out what good reasons not to report are. It can look really scummy too, it nearly got me as town dead the last game I played because I refused to report or discuss what I did that game even when other players caught me doing it and revealed stuff about me to the rest of the game.
Generally, town tells the truth and anti-town lies. But there are townie lies and scummy truths and all in-between.
However, someone killed Sal (who is now confirmed town, but dead) and nobody's claimed it yet, so probably done by anti-town. There's a few other puzzles too, I haven't sorted out all the claims yet but I'm weaving them into a story for us all to easily see.
So far, I see no claims from you at all, so do think about if you wanna make any.
For example, this is my summarized claims for N1:
Imp: Thinks Sal visited N1, leaving stories detailed in reply #551. Successful blender of Verm's 'negotiations'. Gained status 'Thread Alpha' (from Sal's once ability? From somewhere else?), spread it to Verm.
If you know anything about that Thread Alpha status especially, love to hear about that or anything else you choose to claim, thanks!
I tried to explain how to vaguely claim and gave examples and choices as best I could think to.
But hey, we have this claim. It is what it is. I don't think my questions help maf further. But they help at least me accept that this is a cop and not some maf or SK (the flip is this Thread Alpha, sure hope a 'gift' from Showoff Sal) who may need just a little more time to destroy us all and made up a beautiful story - I hope to Fallacy without your help as a partner.
It could be 100% true, 100% false - heck if it's hiding something even more 'don't reveal omg please' I have no idea.
I never expect to be alive the next day. I do what I do today or never, if it's better for my wincon to do today.
That said, Toaster, yes. You've claimed one of the more important roles in the game. Everyone in the game is highly interested in you, especially if you're honest. People who can protect you in some way are likely to try very hard to, anti-town are likely to try very hard to unprotect you in the most lethal or limiting ways they can.
Me now, I want to hear you. Your claim's also, if you're honest (and pro-town, but that kinda goes without saying, to my thinking - but there's no reason why there can't be an anti-town cop especially if there's multiple anti-town out there to fight and find each other), an excellent reason for you to be kinda vague about your reads, or at least who you intend to inspect.
Make everyone think you're gonna inspect person A or B then inspect person C? Darn good play, especially if you (or others) genuinely sus person C and we don't have an urgent need to figure out A or B.
On the other hand, if you're anti-town you've also potentially made nearly the perfect 'I can claim this and hide!' targets, especially for your assess claim and especially if Toony is actually teamed with you - but even not. He's a delighted anti-town who just got town read by a cop claim (that usually helps) or a true-town who just got town-read and knows it's true.
And I'd leave you the heck alone but... this chat probably doesn't hurt you worse. And if you're anti-town trying this, maybe with a partner's advice (partner could be Toony or someone else giving solid advice) it might work and I'm scared so I'm talking now when I still can.
So. Anyway, play as you please. Expect help and advice from folks, in the form of reads suggesting who THEY think are scummy. As you saw, literally everyone unvoted you. People who sus you don't want you dead, and we all see how it goes from here. If you're anti-town pulling a hail-mary play, I hope we stop you and all other anti-town in time.
But with that kinda claim? You probably don't even need to do reads and get to be vague, we want you catching anti-town, not tipping them off so they can do whatever they can to try and prepare. You can also mislead - all we care about is
are you town. If you are, you literally have free reign, play as you please and we all try to keep you alive and make everything work.
