Im actually not sure if this makes sense now that I think about it.
But im also not sure that motion detector makes sense for town to pick. Like an illusionist would have came in really handy today since we could have went ahead and killed Arete and worked on voting off another scum before they have a chance to nightkill again.
This is a decently niche situation though?
I think illusionist would be far better for scum than time
And I think MD is a reasonable town move
So we’re clear: if anyone DID vist kaylee she is lying and almost definitely scum so please tell us
With that, I’m going to bed. Goodnight.
When you have time, can you talk to me about what your thought process was for choosing 14/8?
After taking a second look at @EricKline’s more recent posts today, I’m inclined to think his thought process seems genuine.
There doesn’t seem to be anything in the context surrounding his posts that would incentivize scum!ek to clear me; the focus in thread was mostly around PR reveals and cat/laser/Kaylee. Scum!EK changing his opinion on me doesn’t seem to have immediate scum benefit (neither of us were really on the chopping block), and it didn’t seem to me like there was anything being discussed that was so important that scum!ek would try to immediately change the subject, either.
The closest thing I can see is ek possibly avoiding giving firekitten his reads. But litten explicitly said that he wasn’t trying to determine EK’s alignment via the reads, so I don’t think that’s incentive for scum!EK to do that.
I also think that I’d probably be the easiest push fodder for mafia to focus on (I mean, I was literally greenchecked by the fake acop), which makes me trust EK more for his clear on me.
However, I’m still paranoid about the possibility of being pocketed again, and I’m concerned that I could be misclearing EK. (For instance, why is he still alive D4? Why am I alive D4? Is he just preemptively trying to pocket me on a day that i can’t vote him anyways?) That said, I still think Firekitten is right:
In addition, it makes the most sense mechanically to vote ek out last because killing scum!eric any other day gets scum 1 kill closer to majority, and killing town!eric has a moderate chance of outright losing the game for us.
Mmmm
I’m not going to argue whether or not this is the case. It is possible that Arete was trying to get suspicion upon, however, anything Arete says after the red check is WIFOM… I can see a scenario where Arete does this to his scum partner because he expects this type of read to be made.
With regards to the motion detector claim…I believe it. I would go further and say that their claim makes little sense from a scum POV. If they were Empire, then the more logical choice to choose would be Illusionist. Going even further into this type of reasoning, it makes little sense for them to claim that they are a motion detector if they are in fact an illusionist, because now they cannot use the kill option they had if they are illusionist.
Yeah, I realized this after I made my initial comment.
I wanted to be somewhere vaguely in the middle of the draft I guess, I didn’t want to be first because have a town power role with someone who has never played forum mafia before might not be the move. I thought 14 would put me not in last because it is unlikely anyone else would pick it, and not in first because it is a (relatively) large number.
I don’t really have any reasoning for 8 as my second number.
To give you an idea:
My initial renewed suspicion of squirrel should be obvious. I figured arete saw advantage in the fact that I had already heavily suspected squirrel, and that fake green checking him would be enough for me to suspect scum buddies.
The flip happened when litten asked for a reads list (something I still have yet to do sorry) and what I did was I wrote down squirrel and catty, the obv scum, and then went to go look at eod2 to pound out who my other two were. After staring at eod for 30 seconds I just kinda had one of those “ahhh ha!” Moments , and realized it would never make sense in a t/s/s situation to have only 1 scum fake claim (unless they only had 1 or which we know Is wrong).
So squirrel is town.
So that’s how I got where I am.
Ok so I’m just gonna claim now, I know I claimed at the beginning of the game and I thought we were supposed to say no role because that’s what someone said to do. So I actually got a-cop/tracker. If you guys would like to know what I got when I tracked people, I can put that in here. My draft numbers and everything else I claimed is correct tho.
Wait…you had Acop and didnt CC Arete?
You might as well spill your results, since you have claimed.
Are you Acop or Tracker?
I asked for tracker, so it took the a-cop/tracker role
I didn’t want to spill because I wasn’t sure if I should just keep my mouth closed or open it and get killed…last time this happened I got killed
And who have you tracked/what were your results?
Ok so night one I tracked squirrel because I was suspicious of him, he didn’t visit anyone, night two I tracked arete who proceeded to visit Ari (ironically also the night Ari died), and then last night I visited EK and got nothing from him as well
you WHAT mate
And you helped hammer Bep knowing that Arete was lying?!
