It seems to be a new and improved forum bug. It did it to one of my posts, I've gone back and checked the formatting and it seems fine so I have no idea.

Generally speaking, it shouldn't happen. There are roles specifically for detecting things that go on at night.

And you are sheeping like a bleep bloop this game Day.

All of them did, Yog! ALL OF THEM DID IT! WHY DID THEY DO IT?!

Excuse me. I need to go cry softly in the corner.

On a scale of 1-10 for you, what's the possibility that I really could have been as stupid as I'm claiming?

Sorry, it probably wasn't very clear but that was part of my Scum!Joe hypothesising, so I was assuming that what you told us about your PM was a fabrication and an attempt to capitalise on the D3 flavour.

At the time, yes. I thought ele was your third. But Joe's claim and people's responses to it have thrown all that up in the air. I had been townreading Joe, but the nature of his claim and the way it was claimed have made me doubt that.
I'm conflicted because I still don't town-read you and you're really pushing for Joe's lynch. BUT I don't exactly have Joe as super-town at this point. I would consider lynching Joe at this point.

Ok. I do feel like Joe has become a necessary point in the PoE by this point.

Vote JoeSapphire

but you can see how I was building this since the beginning of the day! I was deliberately blunt about asking SirP who he blocked, I was overly pushy with bler about his speculation of the night target, I made it clear I was suspicious of Trent without explicitly saying why: I was building up to the claim long before I'd been voted for!

And THEN I bothered to go and check and realised how stupid I'd been.

Have you ever played a game of mafia before where flavour provides clues?

On a scale of 1-10 for you, what's the possibility I'm telling the truth?

You asked exactly the same thing in pretty much the same way at the beginning of D2. I wasn't the slightest bit surprised when you asked again, not sure what it's supposed to prove.

Spot the difference:

You don't see it? The second is so brief and direct as to deliberately give itself extra significance.

It certainly didn't strike me as deliberately conspicuous at the time, just getting to the point. I assumed it was because you expected me to have blocked flub again to be honest.
It's pretty thin as an "I know something you don't know" softclaim.

But Scum!HSLoth didn't have any reason to avoid a town!cristi wagon either and in that case we know by now that cristi was town.

Over 9000!!! ;-)

I went back to think a bit. Someone, in fact several someones, expressed surprise at flubb being chosen as the NK target. Perhaps he was chosen because he was somewhat scummy so that it could be spun as a Vig kill if the need arises? Are you perhaps trying too hard to interpret the flavour of the NK in your favour?

Let's have a look at the fact that we had only one NK. That can mean several things:

Either what you say is true and a town Vig and scum chose the same target. Where the Vig had 9 targets to chose from and scum probably 7. That doesn't seem very likely.

Or town Vig shoots flubb and the scum NK is blocked. That would mean if Joe is town, trent has to be scum.

Or town Vig shoots flubb and scum graciously decide not to kill anyone. ... That's even more unlikely than case 1.

So, if I pick the most likely second case I have to decide who out of Joe and trent is scummier. ... And there the answer becomes easy: Joe. Or both, which is also possible. But overall trent seems like the townier of the two.

In conclusion, after re-thinking everything I think it is best to put my vote back where it was:

vote JoeSapphire

it's OK, Books. You can stop crying now!

Or if the majority thinks that Joe should be left alive in spite of killing flubb, let's at least:

brig JoeSapphire

I just don't want an admitted killer running around free. If he was a one-shot Vig, he is basically vanilla now. But if he is scum who did the NK, we might at least take him out of the night-chat pool from scum and hunt for the rest of his team.

That's why I'm clearing the HSloth slot as town.

Ah, I see.

What I don't agree with, however, is you revealing that you have a PR. That was unnecessary. I am currently inclined to believe that you are town, because as scum you would have even less reason to draw attention to you out of the blue. But if you're town, you have made yourself a target without need to do so and you have narrowed the field for the cop hunt for scum. ... Ah well, what's done is done. If we do have a Doctor after all, at least he knows whom to protect. Which of course triggers another round of WIFOM.

I do enjoy being continuously referred to as the "HSloth slot".

So yogs you really think there’s no way a clue of two night kills wouldn’t be in the reveal?
