I guess we should think about if Whiteflame is lying about his character

The theme is clearly death copes vs all else.

Whiteflame’s character isn’t a death cope. Rather, Austin, Barney and Lunatic’s are.

I don’t want to chance Austin today, but I want to go between Lunatic and Barney today.

Lemme double check it rq

No, but that would’ve been smart of me, come to think of it. I went for Lunatic and Austin. Guess you’re just smarter than me lol

Earlier, I asked you all what you would have predicted scum for scum’s actions last night. My answer? I would have predicted scum waive the kill, and roleblock me.

The underlying assumption is Whiteflame-Lunatic-Barney. The idea is that because they are pinned in the PoE I listed from last DP (and that Pie and Austin agreed to, with Greyparrot willing to sheep Pie’s vote) they needed to do something drastic.

That is why my first of two targets was Lunatic. 

Of course, the scum team would see this coming. Because I think Lunatic is our bioengineering, rolestealing crab god, I think the scum team has an incentive to roleblock me. Sure, it keep me suspicious of Lunatic, but it’s better to at least cast some doubt. As I said, I believe crab god randomly roleblocks a teammate.

Faced with the knowledge that I was going to be roleblocked, I was still fine with going for Lunatic, putting them in a situation where if they somehow didn’t roleblock me, they were punished for it. 

For my other target, I selected Austin. Since I felt Whiteflame and Barney were heavily implicated, I wanted to cover for the outside chance Austin was scum. It was risky since I didn’t know what “legendary” did, but I figured since there was low odds of me getting the action off, I might as well play the odds.

So, imagine my shock when it got this in return:

“In the quiet of the night, no footsteps echoed, no shadows moved. A pair stood still, like statues, in a world that kept turning, untouched by the whispers of the world. Their hands stayed empty, their hearts still. No actions were taken, only silence shared between them.”

My first thought was that if they didn’t roleblock me, scum must’ve waived all night actions. It would still implicate Lunatic since I knew he’d claim to block the NK, but it wasn’t what I was expecting.

But then I saw the start of the DP and saw Joebob’s role. I asked Wylted what he meant by “control how someone’s actions are used” and I learned that Joebob’s role is a redirect. 

Armed with this knowledge, I realized that I was almost correct about the roleblock- it’s a redirect instead. Lunatic is still in doubt, despite my results.

And who was I redirected to? Savant and Pie, since both were guaranteed not to have a night actions that night. I don’t think scum wanted to redirect me to anyone else but those two. Every other possible redirect in this game has a drawback. Hell, they could’ve redirected both my shots to Pie or Savant.

There’s no doubt in my mind they simply wasted my role last night. Btw, this is why I was playing hardball with Austin earlier. I knew I couldn’t trust my results.

Alright place your bets folks, who do you think I targeted?

Copy pasting my story and typing some thoughts now.

I definitely do wanna sleep on Austin’s suggestion, and who among the three I would prefer to lynch first. Gn.

Lunatic, Whiteflame, Barney. No particular order.

I think I’ll post it first thing in the morning. 

Austin’s still not clear yet, but that would be some darn good acting if he’s scum.

I don’t think I wanna lynch him this DP.

That is to say, no need to panic. It was safe.

I was rapid refreshing and there’s at most three scum who need two townie misvotes. If a second person voted Austin, I would’ve unvoted before the scum team coordinated a triple vote.

I’ve seen you OMGUS a person who spotted one of your townie fake claims for a full DP. 

I figured I shouldn’t put it past you to try to mess with scum team again. Noble and all, but I want this game figured out.

You’re probably town.

*If he was hiding some aspect

I figured if he was his g some aspect of his role as town he would give up the charade after enough pressure.

Sorry to play hardball. I know you like to lie about your role to other townies.

I just know. I’ll say why after Austin confesses.

Tick tock

I wasn’t manipulated and I’m down to lynch Austin unless he confesses. My vote is staying.

Confess or we lynch

Why do you lie?

Anybody home?

Claimed roleblocks, but we do know one of them is confirmed thanks to my results. I also firmly believe my DP2 results weren’t interfered with, so it does seem like Lunatic did roleblock someone.

My theory on what crab god does is that it randomly roleblocks a teammate. I think when the scum team stole it from Greyparrot it backfired.

No, not story time

Not yet anyway.

The only reason why I’m even including Austin here is because legendary =/= town confirmation.

I suppose you could be wary of it being part of an elaborate ruse where GP is the bioengineer and came up with Crab God as a fake claim to cover, but then two of Lunatic/Barney/Whiteflame/Austin have to be innocent, and at least one of Lunatic/Barney/Whiteflame has to be not fake claiming despite how fake all three of their claims look.

60% chance? You can do yourself one better by saying Greyparrot is clear. He was targeted by a bioengineer who hasn’t fessed up. It’s probably a scummy role. Meaning Greyparrot was targeted by scum.

Awaiting your answers.

In addendum, I have a question for everyone. What would you have predicted scum’s night actions would be, heading into NP3?

If anyone here is still hiding something about their role, come clean now. I may have caught you.

Or… perhaps I was interfered with.

So why the hell wasn’t I interfered with? Something’s off.

Blue cheese disgusts me and people who like it weird me out.

6k. Didn’t take long since 5k.

Failure.

Who?

See above. I think we voting Joebob

We gon party after this one

I’m honestly not bothered by Lunatic voting Joebob.

I think the best lynch order is Joebob, Lunatic, Barney, Whiteflame.

*you know what’s funny?

Yet another EBWOP

You wants funny? Up until five seconds ago , I was wondering if there was a chance you were given all that as scum.

But then I realized there’s no point in scum having a telephone with the dead.

I’m finally down to say it: You are confirmed town. You join Savant and Greyparrot. Waiting on Austin… should be soon after flips from Lunatic and Barney.

I’d sooner conclude

Another EBWOP

JoeBob is very obvious scum and even if scum insta hammered there is sooner conclude it was to prevent more discussion than I would conclude JoeBob was innocent.

I was super super confident I just wanted to catch the off chance.
