Killing_You

Ok, if we're certain about lynching Retal, I'll roleblock him just in case. I definitely think we stand to learn the most this way. Any objections?

It's a roleblock that I can do during the day. I say that it can counter passives, but I've been running on the assumption that roleblocks also block passives. Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.

MAFIA EDIT: It's not a daykill, though.

I meant Retal. Nobody mentioned it, but his apparent eagerness to be lynched earlier had me worried.

Depends on how much I trust you

So if a roleblock is what prevented a nightkill, it wasn't you. In that case, ##vote Retaliation Still concerned about the possible passive, though. I could remedy that, but only if everyone else thinks it'd be a good idea.

Alright, so, after rereading, I'm honestly inclined to believe Shade. That doesn't mean we should trust him, though, and if it can be helped he shouldn't be allowed to complete his objective. Cat5's line of thinking that the roleblock prevented a nightkill is definitely a route I want to look into. Since Irish confirmed Shade's story, that only leaves Retaliation. In the unlikely event that his theory of scum roleblocking and framing him is accurate, however, then that would mean Sunflower is scum. The only other scenarios I can think of are scum deciding not to nightkill and let town form their own conclusions (unlikely), scum being unable to nightkill last night (least likely), or scum hitting someone immune to NKs (somewhat likely). However, I'm still worried that he might have a jester-like passive. Anyone else feel this way, or is it just me? Also, Irish, I assume that you're claiming Bus Driver, essentially?

Literally was just about to ask for a recap of the night actions. Thanks

Ah, I see. That makes sense, thanks for clarifying that.

Alright hold the phone. This made me go back and reread the thread and, well... Okay, so first she says that she blocked him, implying that he took an action, and then she says that he didn't do anything. Wouldn't she be notified if he didn't take an action? If so, why did she open with "I tried to block him, but he didn't do anything?"

Okay, Retaliation voting himself that quickly and boldly is concerning. He doesn't even seem remotely interested in defending himself. I feel like he's got a passive that would mean bad things for town if he died.

Oh shit I forgot to unvote, thanks for reminding me. ##unvote

...What on earth just happened.

Curious that you'd phrase it that way. Is this a subtle admission of scuminess I see?

Actually, I wouldn't say it's gamebreaking. If anything it's just an additional layer to the game, like anything else. It can be trusted, distrusted, distracting, ignored, etc...

For sure. In the Halloween Mafia, for example, I tried to claim Dormammu (town) and swapped my avatar to match. Very few people believed me, and for good reason, because I was actually John Constantine (scum).

It's just something some of us decided to do. Honestly I have no idea how it got started.

That's fair. I debated just doing a reveal via avatar and keeping my abilities a secret. I'm just a little distracted right now and I don't want scum to throw us off of the trail.

Guatemala, Los Angeles, and a distant planet. I don't think we'll gain much looking at flavor, though.

Wouldn't be able to tell you. Never seen a rambo movie.

You got Burma right. Not rolling with a comic book character this time, though.

Welp, let's get this out of the way. ##vote Killing_You Also, I was the one who hammered kam hard for voting nolynch back in CYOR 2. It basically gives scum a free NK and gives us nothing to go on. Even if we mislynch, we can examine arguments and voting patterns. In addition, those same patterns might come in handy when looking at the first NK. Generally from what I've seen, aside from "classic" rivalry options, the first person to be killed is someone that scum see as a threat, either by skill level or because they were closing in on the truth D1.

I'll sit this out. I'm prepping for the next Mafia.
