    I'm not a rolecop. I just get the name of the ability. If I targeted myself all I would get is ##Evil Eyes. That's why I didn't target you because your flavor seems to have non descriptive actions. I think I was conflating hider and survivor so I thought KY was neutral.

    Is this the "claimed your abilities" post you're speaking of?

    I feel like if you were telling the truth you would have remembered that I've already claimed my abilities.

    I saw you use #evileyes and that's why I mentioned that if you died tonight I could use it tomorrow, provided the game continued. Not a recommended action considering my reads.

    If you named your night action in another post I'm sorry I missed it.

    That's an incredibly strange role. I'm not sure if I buy it. We've had roles like that in the past, but none of them required the player to know the name of the action beforehand. That feels like a convinent way of justifying why you haven't done anything yet more than a legit claim.

    I don't need you to buy it, because I'm lynchproof today. I shared it because you asked.

    @ ChopBam Anything else about you that you'd like to share with the class?

    Also, if anyone else has lynchproof abilities, please speak up. I'd rather not have to deal with this thing at LYLO.

    It hasn't been useful up to this point, but I guess there is no harm in sharing.

    At night when I am dreaming I get into character as Sulu and conduct missions to retrieve the bodies of fallen comrades if possible, allowing me to borrow the abilities that other people here have used in order to help me keep the team alive under the planets' hostile conditions. This grants me the ability to use their ability one time. The action is pretty restricted however because 1) the player that I'm borrowing the ability from needs to have perished already and 2) I need to know the exact name of the ability to borrow it. So I guess that's where Retaliation's finding and naming comes into play, and why people's abilities are not named off when they die.

    N1 nobody had died yet.

    N2 I didn't know any of Jeod's ability names, and Retaliation was only able to spill the bean's on Orange's day action, which was nothing.

    Tonight with my current knowledge I would basically be able to use KY's #cower action but only if KY died today. Something that is absolutely out of the question in my book. And if Cat5 passed today and I retrieved his body tonight I would be able to use #grimreaper tomorrow. If Retal died, I could likely use his #evileyes tomorrow. Again we have nothing on iLTF's actions so I wouldn't be able to use those.

    What I really find interesting is the fact that Retal is claiming Cat5/Chop scumteam, while Cat5 is claiming Retal/Chop scum team. Common factor is ChopBam. I'm willing to hedge my bets that Shade is his partner.

    Regardless, I'd prefer to hit the common factor just in case.

    ##vote ChopBam

    And here I am, thinking it's Cat5/Shade. :V It isn't likely to be Retal/Shade because Shade 1) tied the vote with Retal, and 2) is throwing a lot of shade at Retal right now.

    Here's my current case. I don't believe that he is an insane cop. Things have been way too convenient for that to be true in my mind, and the circumstances just don't line up.

    • First off, Cat5's "night target" choices. First night he claims he targeted me and basically got a town result. The following day he all-too-easily was willing to go along with whatever I wanted as a result. I suppose this would have been to gain my confidence, since as scum, Cat5 would have known this already, and on that day with the way things were going, I was very unlikely to go for Shade.
    • Second, he claims to have targeted iLTF last night, which is mightily convenient for someone who's not actually a cop to keep up the charade. And if anybody tracked him, well yes, they would follow him straight to iLTF (who also died, incidentally).
    • Third, he hard claimed cop and nothing happened to him that night.

    And then there's the fact he's been "reading" Shade as town this whole game for what I see as not a super good reason. Everybody else has been just going along with this.

    In the paraphrased words of Cat5 himself, I'd like to put some pressure on him to see what happens.

    A delayed kill would be what I'd look out for, although if you had multiple TP's you'd also have the possibility of them killing each other first.

    Well fortunately it doesn't seem like iLTF had the opportunity to use the death note. Do you have any good reason to suspect that there are multiple third parties, or any other members of iLTF's party? Or that there are any delayed kills imminent? Cause at the start of the day we found a death note on his person that burned itself up, which means it wasn't used. Theorycrafting about delayed kills and more third parties all sounds like we're getting into AUM territory. I'm gonna apply Occam's Razor here and say we're probably in LYLO because there are two scum members left.

  7. A day kill could be town-aligned or mafia-aligned, and I have no reason to suspect KY was lying when he claimed bulletproof. My question now is, since GrimReaper is not a day kill, who has the day kill that KY is protected against? Would it exist on one of the dead players, or someone still in play? If it's on any mafia member (all of whom are still in play), why don't they just use it now to end the game? I'm leaning toward it being on one of the dead players or one of the living town players.

    As an aside, whenever anyone says "iLTF," I don't think "iLikeToFRAYDO," I read it as something else. :v

    Right. Well. What do you think, ChopBam?

    I think I just got home from work.

    LYLO at 5 players means two scum remaining. This I am certain of. I'll take a hint from everyone else and also ignore the fact that a third party died in the night.

    I'm convinced KY is town, and that he is not teamed up with Retaliation.

    I had a weird feeling yesterday when you told KY after he made a list post that it's a general scum meta, and then a day later you made a list post, where Retaliation and Shade are excused from being teamed with KY due to tied vote, but then you only mentioned your confidence being shook in Shade being town if FRAYDO/KY aren't the scum team. Why not Retaliation also?

    List posts like this are a general scum meta

    Category5 - Claimed cop, you can believe me or not.

    ChopBam - Cleared town, should my claim be believed and accurate.

    FRAYDO - Almost blank slate.

    Killing_You - can only be scum if teamed with FRAYDO (or myself or ChopBam if I am believed to be lying)

    Retaliation - can't be teamed with KY due to tied vote.

    Shade939 - can't be teamed with KY due to tied vote.

    From where I stand, I think the only plausible scum team is FRAYDO/KY. Otherwise I'd have to shake up my confidence in Shade being town or my result on ChopBam being correct.

    I would prefer that Chopbam was here to lean in on this as I want him to lead the lynch. I honestly am having a hard time picking. I'm going to follow my plan and follow ChopBam.

    ##GrimReaper

    ##vote OrangeP47

    I got back here 3 minutes before hammer and by the time I got caught up it was 3 minutes after hammer. I don't think anything that's been said would change my vote, however. An apparent tie (I say apparent because I don't know what GrimReaper does) may actually be nice.

    This is why I picked ChopBam as my target. It was the only statement from him that stood out to me during D1, and it felt odd. There weren't that many posts overall, and the voting was not chaotic. There were only votes for Orange and NoLynch, nothing else. I felt the only reason why ChopBam would need a CVC was if he was partnered with Orange and was specifically concerned about the lynch because of it. I decided to go for the 2-for-1 deal it would represent if ChopBam returned a Guilty verdict, but it was not to be. I probably should have gone after my primary target, but perhaps it is better that I didn't?

    I suspect I have ADHD so that would explain why my mind would get distracted by "needing" a CVC when we don't have one or absolutely need one yet.

    It's a good thread of thought to follow though, regardless of what I mentioned above. If Orange really is scum, then I'd be a good candidate to be his partner because my thing with the CVC was the only thing to jump out of the woodwork in terms of "saving" him. Retaliation would not be his partner in this case, so in my book if one flips bad, the other is cleared. Same with Orange and Cat5, I feel.

    I feel like even if Orange flips town, we can learn more about the remaining players' alignments than we would if Retaliation flipped town. And if either flips scum, well, we have a winner.

    I have my eyes on KY also for being very willing to be so led. If he is a scumdude, he's only following thus far because he trusts that his partner is not in our sights today (I.e. another person not scum aligned with Orange).

    If it turns out Orange is our guy, iLikeToFRAYDO could be a good scum team candidate (could be that regardless due to inactivity).

    Shade might also be a good candidate to team with Orange, voting for him yesterday to fit in with the joke stuff but not expecting it to actually go through. Shade's logic has been unusually on 👉 today.

    Unlike Cat5 I also have no problem listing out players and what I think of them, which isn't what I set out to do, but sorta is what this post turned into. It can be very helpful later on when someone flips to see in hindsight how they read everyone else.

    Of these three, I'm most suspicious of Retaliation. I'll be back in after work (and before hammer, I'm pretty sure), so I'll withold my vote until then, and let Chop take the lead.

    So you agree 1 for 1 with Cat5 about 1) revealing ourselves, 2) Retaliation's sus vibes, and 3) that I should lead the vote?
