Wait I just realized that "hell froze over" is called that way because Drew probably said something along the lines of "I'll hydra when hell freezes over".

I disagree, when I first saw the teams (in the OP) I was thinking it's probably about a coin toss on whether or Benediction can win with town, and it's clear Malediction can't.In post 69, Enchant wrote: I think it's not more letter eating like "scum not scum" it's more that you assume that one of teams could benefit town which is not assumption commonly made.
Of course this might be incorrect due to bastard element of mod misdirection, but there's a reason I claimed Benediction and not Malediction in my opening post.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that there's apossibilityof Benediction being able to benefit town.Feelin' frosty-

I think it's pretty obvious that they are considering we're playing mafia, a game pitting uninformed majorities against informed minorities.

I think the whole point of this setup is that there's no "town" and "scum", because the uninformed majority is actually "neutral" in the struggle between good and evil (judging by the fact that we're colored Ike third parties and Benediction is colored like town).In post 81, Rautherdir wrote: But then again I didn't notice the flavour on alignment thing in setup so. If I'd seen that I'd have gone with the assumption that they are indeed scum and waited til day 2 when more information from public night actions is available to present it as a possibility depending on what happened.Feelin' frosty-

Benediction and Malediction are different non town factions
however considering that Invocations is not even "good", I don't think that a "good" faction is benign towards us.Feelin' frosty-

Care to link that game btw? Sounds like a really weird game but a fun read.In post 86, Feysal wrote:
You're not the only one. And I have seen the most useless roles turning out to be very beneficial in the end.In post 57, Rautherdir wrote:I will say my role name sounds much more powerful then the actual ability actually is. I'm actually not sure at all how to use my role to any benefit, though it is role madness so uh... maybe there's some use to even something like what I have?
Given the name Benediction for the green team, this is an understandable assumption though. But I think this is exactly why we were told not to rely on flavor. I have been in games where good and evil did not match with town and scum factions, and this looks like one of them.In post 69, Enchant wrote:I think it's not more letter eating like "scum not scum" it's more that you assume that one of teams could benefit town which is not assumption commonly made.
I have only ever seen one informed minority that was actually compatible with the town. But the twist was that theywerestill threats to the town, but they did not realize it. I figured it out because I was a serial killer in that game, and my win condition was weird too. We managed to organize a shared victory between town and all third parties, but when one of them found out I was right about us being considered threats, he blew up in a way that got him modkilled.
I disagree. If memory serves, this kind of confusion usually comes from an uninformed perspective, therefore Rautherdir probably is town.In post 78, ActionDan wrote:The stretch to entertain the idea they aren't reads to me as a possible play to fake a dumb not-benediction faction tell more than honest concern.
By the way - it was not Enchant who associated green with claiming scum in the first place. They were echoing Dragon, who did it first.Feelin' frosty-

It's called a Checker on the wiki. If this was a non-bastard, Normal game, your role would basically confirm the existence of roleblock. But we're explicitly told of the possibility of misdirection. HOWEVER, I would like to speculate (and this is just that - speculation, based solely on flavor and my own understanding of what I consider fun) that Benediction is not going to have a factional nightkill, but rather a factional roleblock (please gimmie some postgame credit if I end up being right).In post 122, Rautherdir wrote: Still tempted to claim so that I can get info on how to even use my role effectively. I probably shouldn't so that I can be one of the less critical roles to eat a night kill but. I can just try to be town to eat a night kill instead soooo actually let me just claim.
I am a manifestation of Confirmation. I have the option to target a player each night to check if my action was successful.
I have no idea how this is even useful, and not even sure what the role is even called normally if it is an actual defined role in the wiki. Closest I could find was Visitor, but none of the modifiers function in a way to make it work like that.
In fact I had speculated that before you even claimed, but didn't say anything because there was no reason to believe that it is the case.
Also I think by claiming your role you basically made it useless since now you won't be roleblocked. Oh well.Feelin' frosty-

This vote is pretty solidly scummy. My ISO, as later claimed in post 146 is "a bunch of nothing trying to look like something." I had only made three posts at this point, an RVS vote, a question highlighting what seemed to me to be cognitive dissonance, and a post casting an aspersion on Rautherdir. None of these factors into your complaint about "a fuckton of mechanical discussion" which to me is what I would associate with "a bunch of nothing" in general. If the complaint is that I'm supposed to be contributing more 4 pages into D1, well that presents its own problems.In post 130, IceDragon70 wrote: Guys we've had a fuckton of mechanical discussion but barely any scumhunting.
I'm gonna VOTE: ActionDan because I like their ISO the least.
So I don't believe you're voting me for the stated reason. What I do think is happening here is that you're piggybacking off post 109 and invented a new reason to vote me to keep it fresh. In which case there's a rather poignant hypocrisy occurring, as in post 96 Keeper makes a similar if not even stronger denouncement of rautherdir without voting for him and there's no mention of it.
---
I'll address other posts / people later after work but wanted to get this one out now.
Why are you making it look like I was accusing you of something I wasn't?
I was literally saying I really don't see anything in your ISO, and that it's bothering me.
Also, I did want to place a semi-RVS vote on you in 109, but I didn't because I felt it was pretty weak.
Later on, I felt like the discussion was getting nowhere, so I decided I want to start a new wagon to generate content. At this point I quickly looked over the ISO's of all the players I wasn't actively townreading, liked yours the least, and made a vote on it.Feelin' frosty-

Those that do are anemic: 103, 136, 151.In post 238, Abnegation wrote: also, i don't scumread rauther, but this is all really textbook lamist. i'd appreciate a second opinion here.
Spoiler: quotes
I think the best town case for Rautherdir is the fact they committed to a full claim this early. It's very rare for scum to do that. I do remain wary as Rauth's reason for claiming it doesn't make any logical sense (help with how to use it? Info for town that we have disruptive roles in a role madness game?) and I'm surprised a player with a 2016 join date didn't understand why it was suboptimal to claim with just these dubious benefits. Additionally in multiball giving an excuse for the other scum team to not target your slot has appreciable advantages.
I hope to be able to get a better read on the slot when their posts are less mechanically driven and actually scrutinize content not volume.
@Furtive and @Hugir why the townreads? I'm also especially curious as to Hugir's progression from Non-Benediction specifically to fully town.

Look, I know I sometimes come off as disingenuous in online mafia, but what I said is the truth.In post 353, ActionDan wrote: I don't find 243 and 244 that convincing. You have said you didn't find my posts scummy and that you were exaggerating in 146. But in 146 you're still trying to push Rauth to judge my ISO byRauth'sown criteria for scumminess (136). It's hard for me to believe that your intention was anything other than Rauth wanting to find my ISO scummy since the words you used in 146 are tailored to fit his perceived sense of what's scummy.
I didn't see anything scum indicative about your first 3 posts, I simply saw nothing. And by pure gut I liked it less than Frutive's nothing ISO at the time (rn I actually like your ISO more than his), so I placed a vote there.
I didn't ask Rauth if they thought you were scummy, but rather if they didn't think you were a better vote than whoever they wanted to vote at the time.
Pedit: I just looked at the post and I didn't phrase it like that, so I can see where you are coming from. However thatiswhat I was trying to get across. I guess I need to be more careful in how I phrase my questions in the future.Feelin' frosty-

Hi I've been away, only come back now.In post 392, ActionDan wrote: Ice can you specifically tell me what made my iso worse than Keeper's at the time?
To answer your question: I didn't actually look at Keeper's ISO - I think I had either missed them or otherwise had had a light town read on them. Right now however they are null and scum by default.Feelin' frosty-

Okay so it's this post that convinced Rauther was scum.In post 426, Rautherdir wrote: Hmm. To be honest I was baiting to see who would agree with my stance or not, thus why I kept mentioning it as a possibility throughout the day. As mentioned Benediction would probably jump onto something like that as a chance to be town... so after reading through again (Unfortunately not everyone has commented on it, was hoping a bit more time would offer that but nope.)
Enchant I admittedly wasn't going to get much information on from this play given they were the person I pressured to do this. They handled it well enough though.
ActionDan also responded well to it, asking the mod directly.
furtiveglance made a fairly small post about it, but didn't entertain the possibility either.
Feysal admitted it was a point of understandable confusion but was on the side of it being both malign. (Though I like Feysal more then furtiveglance for town, despite the ordering I put here.)
The Keeper... I'll admit I'm not sure about their response, but I think they were saying they expected Benediction to be scum
IceDragon actually entertained the idea of Benediction being able to be benign
Hugir I'm not sure about, 124 might have been a typo of next instead of never, the sentence makes a lot more sense the second way. None of their other posts clarified their view of this.
I don't have any information from my play on other players as they didn't respond directly to it, nor have they posted much for other reasons as well.
No one else really commented about it... But I'll say that IceDragon also seemed to be trying to get town read by me earlier, and several other previously stated less then towny posts.
UNVOTE: Enchant
VOTE: IceDragon
I know it sounds like OMGUS but I actually didn't even get to the vote when I saw they were Scum.
It's the fact that that instead of talking about reads or scum hunting, or doing anything that could progress thw game, they are just making a list of all the reactions to their "bait". And basically misrepreanting what other players said regardong benediction to fit the narrative that they are analysing and solving the game when they are clearly not. Like how does asking the mod about Benediction = townread??? Or else, how is it a "good response"?
They are also scummy for the fact that they are calling mechanical discussion a bait. That's just a lie.
And it is just IIoA, you know? "IceDragon entertained the idea of Benediction being benign". Cool? And...?
