@JoeBob
he said he made up this role to fit the game
Sigh, it’s annoying when we can’t rely on real roles and mechanics and we’re left guessing. Anyways even when you full claimed later you’d look scummy af. In a game where after 2NPs the game can end, it makes zero sense to include your role

same thing with the heros of olympus thing. i was lynched cuz of my role and behavior, and was town
Ur role was legit there. Austin literally made up roles for this game. Emissary fit with Nico perfectly. This role is that dumb and only works really if scum kill you NP2. It’s weak af.

This feels a bit like a flip flop from post 147/149 where you were thinking pie was going too hard on joebob and 159 where you had referred to him as over aggressive (several posts said this) and now you are essentially echoing all of pies talking points in regards to joebob. Can you explain what made you change your opinion on this issue between last night and tonight so quickly?
I caught this too, very interesting

Work was crazy this week. But for the next few days I’m just catsitting for my sister. So my activity level should shoot up to normal levels (I just won’t spam to try to counter the earlier problem).
That’s fine. Please comment on what has happened so far tho

True but in general, if someone is away from their keyboard, they won’t know they are getting voted.
If they’re scum, their scum partner will notice and spam them

You are not 100% sure, and you can’t be. And if we have a lot of information, so much show you would rather lynch me, then why did you vote Barney?
So by that logic everyone should full claim right? I voted Barney for inactivity

Because you’re going to rather lynch someone you aren’t even sure is scum over getting information.
I’m pretty sure you’re scum. And we already have a lot of information

Regardless of what JoeBob is, lynching him now vs lynching him later won't change the number of scum we lynch, just when we lynch them.
Ya but lynching scum earlier is better

Hard to focus on who if half of the people here have sent less than 5 messages.
Okay then focus on those who have posted. Or lead wagons on inactives who you suspect. Everyone has posted at least once

First you asked for my character and I answered almost instantly, then 5 hours later you ask for character, and I once again answer almost instantly.
That doesn’t mean anything. How about you focus on hunting for scum if you don’t want to be lynched

Each move set on the list for algebraic is a night that I track someone. So the 1 would be the night, the first set of numbers/letters would be who I tracked, and the second set would be who they tracked/visited that night.
So because the algebraic notation keeps track of who visited who, you’re the Tracker. Okay

Can I vote for no one. like can I vote to not lynch anyone?
You can but it isn’t optimal to do so. Lynching is towns best tool to run the game on their terms.

How fast did he claim his role? I dont know if an experienced player would suggest that as your role. 
He claimed his role hours after the character

@JoeBob
Ok. So algebraic notation is a list of moves, from 1 to whenever the game ends. You don’t see that list until after the game ends, or in this case, I die. During the game the information is useless, same as it is here as I can’t do anything with it, just like here. After the game ends however, you can go back and check what you could’ve done better, and it is suddenly useful. Same with here. After I die, I am suddenly useful.
That explains the flipped part, but what about the Tracker part was my question

@JoeBob
Yes, that’s what “everyone can see the results” means.
What’s the justification for why you are a tracker?

so then don’t vote me until a future DP when I am more useful and you can’t lynch anyone else. Voting me now makes no sense.
Okay, who do you want to lynch and why?

I dont buy that it’s something Joebob would come up with on its own. I reckon that, yeah, hes basically a vanilla until he dies, but I assume the intent Austin had was to not have him out his role. Not a well crafted role if I may say so.
So his scum partner could come up with it. But the role doesn’t make sense anyways. Just from a balance perspective, what’s the point of only revealing information after death? Theoretically it’s so mafia unknowingly kill him and that reveals results, but if that’s the case, it’s anti town to even reveal that mechanic.

@whiteflame
So, again, is Austin just going to post that list publicly if/when you die (i.e. at the start of the DP after you are killed)? 

Honestly, this is just the oddest combination of roles. It's like a heavily nerfed Tracker where the results may end up being entirely useless due to the delays built into getting that information and making it publicly available. The only benefit I can see to having the role be restricted in this way is that it makes you negative utility for scum to NK, but the role seems tailor-made to be a lynch target. Sincerely, if this is a fake claim scum came up with, it's one of the oddest choices I've ever seen because you are basically forcing us to consider you as our lynch in any future DP just to get some additional information, and the fact that you're unverifiable until you die effectively puts you at or near the top of everyone's scum pile. And if this is something Austin came up with, then I sincerely feel for you because you'd be sussed regardless of what you did.
I’d be willing to bet scum are half telling the truth about the mechanics after death. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the scum tracker or has a role where he can see who (via proxy of notation) visited who every night. The odds of mislynching are 7/9 which is around 78%. Assuming we mislynch there’s a 1/8 (12.5%) chance that Joe correctly tracks the NK. For a 12.5% chance we have to lynch a townie? It doesn’t make mathematical sense?

I think we should keep JoeBob alive. I buy his role claim and he outted his character claim fast enough. If nothing else, we can lynch him DP2.
What do you buy about it? Can you explain how the role works? Why does him outting his character fast matter?

Wasting 1/3 possible town lynches just to get results makes no sense when that’s town’s strongest power. Joe is definitely scum. Let’s lynch him

So, again, you're a Tracker who wouldn't get any information, meaning you're only useful once you've successfully targeted people during the NP and died. Alright. That means that scum, at least after this NP (NP1 you'd arguably have some value, since then you couldn't deliver info to town), have negative utility in using their NK on you since you'd provide info to town. That sounds like a pretty good excuse for surviving every NP going beyond NP1, though I'd say your value to town is negligible considering that it's always going to be one NP behind (i.e. if we lynch you DP2, we'll get info from NP1 in DP3).

If you survive NP1, then town has a valid reason to lynch you so long as there is not a common target of suspicion: you can provide info to town, delayed as it is. So you would become our default lynch in the absence of a better choice.

Does that sum it up?
There’s no reason for scum to kill him. If he’s town then his results are delayed anyways. Let’s assume for sake of argument we lynch a townie today and NK is success. It becomes 5-2. We’d only be able to lynch JoeBob and it would be 3-2 LYLO with one result assuming he’s telling the truth. It makes no sense. One night’s worth of results for getting himself lynched? I don’t like it at all. I’m fine lynching him today

There was also no indication in the DP that scum were given role hints, but that's not ruling out that they could've and austin didn't tell us. 
Austin said they weren’t given fake claims.

What’s interesting is that the board is an 8x8. Excluding one person, each player can have a rank or a file assigned to them. Just a shower thought

Lets say tonight I tracked you. When I die im guessing it would look something like this:
NP1: ILikePie5 tracked/visited so and so.
and then NP2 would do the same and so forth.
Why are you still guessing? Have you still not asked Austin this?

There’s a lot you haven’t clarified. You said you don’t know if you receive the tracker results in the night. You also haven’t yet said how the notation works. For example let’s say N1, you track me to Player A. When you die, what exactly would be revealed to everyone?

I don't like that he changes your pressure into "Your just mad that I defended Savant" when that was never really your reason for pursuing him in the first place.
He’s strawmanning my argument which I picked up as well.
