Ari, your claim be some BS

So you say you are the decoy, which means you can target someone and lure the kill to yourself apparently, and you claimed you wanted to keep Buffy alive the day she was lynched so you could lure her on the night...

To what advantage exactly?

Assuming you would die from this, we would gain nothing from you putting this plan in to action. We would simply have been delayed in lynching Buffy.

Ari

I dont want to roleclaim right now, but I will do it tomorrow. I want to do it tomorrow as I have a plan tonight that might fuck up some stuff for the mafia and I can find out what role Buffy has. Not scanning related though. I would prefer to try the plan out on Buffy, as it seems like she is the roleblocker, and not Badger as I suspect he might have a non-visiting mafia role or a limited-visit mafia role. I think it will work better that way. So that means I would prefer lynching Badger today, who is scum anyways, and I should be able to fuck shit up for the mafia and confirm Redster's suspicion about Buffy. This will also prove my role. Needless to say, if we go with my plan and I am killed tonight, you lynch Buffy.

What is the point? You prove your role by dying? We would have gained nothing from this, in fact we would have lost someone who is usually a strong town player with good reads. You would be more use to us alive if you're town and you have this role.

Here is what I think; I think you know Buffy was going to be lynched and that your suggestion to keep her alive to prove your role was going to fall on deaf ears. Which is why you didn't pursue it at all after that initial post. You just wanted to set something up for a convincing fake claim.

Now you are going to claim each day to have tried and failed to 'lure' killers to you during the night and sneak your way through to the end.

Huh, that sounds familiar...

So, of the remaining players:

Town:

Dr - Redster tracked Dadd to her, and Dadd showed no signs of suspecting her the following day. Barring a redirection from Brian, Rose is almost certainly town. She might as well claim at this point though, to help narrow things down.

Angi - Town

Wikey - Mystery Voter, inactive shit, but town

Eben - Town BP. I see no reason to doubt this.

Timmah - Census taker would be very risky as a fake claim for scum. He had to get the number of vanilla's spot on. Since nobody has refuted him, and he made the claim at a time when they quite easily could have, he is probably town.

Potential Scum:

It can only be one of these two:

Badger - Claims Town Hated, or at least an odd variation of it. Normally I would say he is scummy and he screwed up his claim, but this is the same game which had Jamie flip Backup One Shot Tracker, so all bets are off! However, based purely on his voting patterns, and his connection with Buffy, he looks scummy.

Ari - For reasons already stated.

It's one of Ari or Badger for sure.

I'd also like to apologize for been completely inactive almost this entire game. I probs shouldn't have signed up! But I'm here now.

Look forward to seeing how Ari and Badger respond.

Are we to assume that TIB hid behind someone he trusted and they turned out to be scum, and it just so happens that he was also shot by scum at the same time?

It's the only way I can make sense of what happened. Gonna go back and read his posts, see if there are any hints as to who he might have chosen to hide behind.

The point was that since I hadnt claimed and that I dont have a shit role I can really prove, I knew I was going to be a lynch suspect very soon. The only reason I could think of to use this role was to try and draw the mafia kill / mafia actions to my to protect town powerroles.

I wanted to try and take the mafia hit to give Redster at least 1 more day to try and track the killer and Canuck another shot at protecting the right person to stop the kill. Id much rather take the mafia kill onto me than being lynched, I know that is a waste of time...

I used my last chance to decoy last night, so I am vanilla now and not of much use rolewise. I said I had limited actions, so not sure why you think my role is so useful? Or how I am going to claim luring people every night? Pretty shit role if you ask me, I got nothing out of it.

Why did you lure me last night instead of Badger?

Did you already lure him the night before?

I figured if he is mafia as I suspect, he wouldnt perform the kill as they would expect me to lure him.

I could see your role as scum so I thought that maybe you were, at least we know you didnt kill anyone last night.

Not sure I buy it. You gave no indication that you might target me yesterday, not even a hint, and Badger was the obvious option.

So in the scenario you successfully lured the mafia kill and died, people would automatically assume you had died luring Badger, the obvious suspect, not me.

How many shots did your role have and who else did you use it on? Sorry if I missed you posting this somewhere else already.

I figured if he is mafia as I suspect, he wouldnt perform the kill as they would expect me to lure him.

So...he was your top suspect but you didn't lure him in case he decided not to go out for the kill. Even though you could have lured him and guaranteed Redster would stay alive another day to get some crucial night results?

Hmmmmmmm

Ari @ 15/5/2016 4:13

Seriously Angi? Are you scum with Badger?

Red cleared me so :P

Wikey @ 15/5/2016 7:30

This.

Anyone check Timmah's census to see how many scum left?

Wikey @ 15/5/2016 6:32

Timmah - Census taker would be very risky as a fake claim for scum. He had to get the number of vanilla's spot on. Since nobody has refuted him, and he made the claim at a time when they quite easily could have, he is probably town.

And with Nofo's death, I think he's proven town

Scum slip?

How do you know that me luring Badger would have guaranteed Redster staying alive?
