Hmm, odd, the message wasn't showing up in my inbox despite the timestamp on it being from early this morning.

There's actually a decent reason (for page 1) to believe Alabaska is town right now, btw.

It's not 100% assured, but usually mafia are allowed to talk during day start confirm phases (ie. every newbie game atm). I would think that Alabaska as scum would have at least noticed if his inbox started filling with messages from random people.

I get the first part, but where from left field did you get this.
vote: Armix

for trying to bring up a game still on going and causing confusion.
Most of said games with you are ongoing, however, Weather Mafia was definitely the start of it.

Thats about what I would expect from you, but your logic fails for 2 reasons.

1) Logical scum hunting increases the odds of lynching scum.

2) D1 wagons that are logical, even if they are wrong, lead to the basis of D2 and D3 logic.

This all sounds like more reason to suspect that

A) you are BM

and

B) you are a good vig target as using a lynch on you is a waste of valuable information gathering.

Anti-town maybe, but not, given the context, scummy.

This vote is not about wagoning, its about you attacking the EXTREMELY easy lynch target on the basis of him acting normal for him.

No, Gimbo, SSF is making valid arguments about why your actions are scummy. I have however seen enough players who just act this way or worse regardless of alignment (as discussed earlier) who are often the target of D1 mislynches. And its often the people who just say "Yeah, X is being scummy" and vote them who are scum, rather then those who analyze the players action based on a normal person's strategy rather then the skewed one said player has.

How am I meant to know what's normal for him exactly?
His posts this game are very odd. So I clicked the profile button under his posts, view all posts by, and saw he was acting similarly in his other game. Had it been his first game, I probably would have just given him the benefit of the doubt anyways, as I doubt a new player would come in and deliberately act like this as scum, and if he was an alt odds are he would out himself as one at some point.

Things I endorse:

Using all coins ASAP so scum can't drain them.

Things I do not endorse:

Coin Pooling. Putting all the coins in one basket seems like the optimal way for something disasterous to happen, and pooling them with multiple people seems like the optimal way for scum to just get a bunch of coins.

I think that having some kind of system so that all coins are redistributed to someone we know/assume are town from lynchee's is probably a good idea though. That way other people can use coins still (issue with all pooling on one person), but at the same time we maximize the amount of coins used by pro-town people without risking the scum getting any by only giving to 1-2 confirmeds.

The problem here is people who know they are on the ropes will be eager to become our investigators. Because we still have to come up with a D1 lynch and whenever we start gaining the momentum on someone, they might step in and say 'hey, i'll investigate for you, don't kill me'. In which case, we will have a big problem D1 (right now).
I was referring to this.

TSN, I don't trust scum to A) claim the correct number of coins they have or B) us to only give coins to town at this point in time.

And yeah, Gimbo, even mafia will give away coins because of that. Only stubborn people on both sides won't.

The trade + trade back thing seems valid, though I don't see what it accomplishes besides prove Surye has no item. Pretty sure Gimbo has an item based on that farside thing, unless farside was just bluffing her item (which was probably the other reason Lawrencelot was talking about as the first post says there are no power roles), and again his claim is confirmable by itself.

Those calling out Surye for the plan are dumb, as if Surye doesn't give it back he obv dies. Trading a scum for an item in a scenario where odds are you can NK that same item out of the game seems poor.

I found Gimbo's statement that one of the 6 players who talked about him early was scum and that we would just have to look back on D5 or whenever to see funny, as if you choose a random 5 people out of 24 odds are there is at least 1 scum among them.

SSF saying that he agrees with TSN that coin stuff can break the game but then saying he doesn't want to pile coins is odd. Saying you don't think TSN's strategy is a breaking one is valid, but saying it may be but not wanting to do it is shady.

SSF also attacked Gimbo's claim, saying 1-up is not a alignment based item. SSF, it is. Revival is a very town specific action.

Surye did the same. Deserves an
FOS
for that, but not his other behavior.

I get what you are saying Gimbo.

TSN seems like town, albeit his logic is not stellar. There probably is an optimal coin plan, but I don't think D1 mass claim and sort is it. Cream is more suspicious to me.

Rogue Shenanigans action is pretty odd to say the least in the context of poplar's post.

Still think Cream's indifference on top of the opportunism is 10x scummier though.

Mainly because he attacked Gimbo early for more or less being the easy wagon.

With 24 alive it takes 13 real votes to lynch.

If I'm wrong, please explain how you reached your '1 in 5' figure without knowing this.
This is rarely a valid argument unless the estimate is way off the standard 1/4 estimate.

Not really farside. 20 player theme games often have 6 scum, I've seen 24 player games with 7-8. All depends on groupings and types.

Did scum win those games? I only ask because that seems like a high % compared to # of players.
Its still pretty even with town power roles.

That was TSPN, and it's not out of nowhere, he was voting farside for a while then switched over to SSK momentarily for whatever silly meta reason.

Which is not to say that TSPN is not a good vote. That's just not a good reason for one.

It's a town specific action, which means revival would be an action for a pro-town role, but, as I've already mentioned, the revival isn't part of a role, it's an item which could be completely independent of the role which holds it.
He started with the item, its basically his role.

On the breaking thing
We could, you know, play Mafia. You seem to be focussing on the coins as though they are the sole factor that will make or break the game. They're like powers in any other game: They're useful if we've got them, but we shouldn't be relying on them. Vigs, Cops and Bulletproofs (powers which we can buy) exist in many other games, but they don't serve as a replacement for standard scumhunting.
I missed our first line about it being abusable however. That sorta justifies this, but still, breaking the game is good, and you just completely ignoring thinking about that mechanic is pretty anti-progress.

His attacking Gimbo early when it was evident Gimbo was not being scummy within his standard behavior was the start, then him completely dismissing/ignoring said accusation, then responding with the "I'm always scummy" defense, which I know is not true, and trying to dissuade a lynch with a soft claim of power role under the logic that even if he is revived he will be NK'ed ASAP again.

No, I do NOT believe Gimbo could be scum. Like I said, 1 up as scum is basically useless till it is way too good, and also if the ability is what I assume it is that is borderline too good for scum.

The exact reason for FOS/voting FL was:

When cream was only around min votes for deadline lynch (1/2 normal lynch) and FL wasn't voting Cream.

No, I wouldn't be surprised with a town-anger response. I kinda expected it anyway. I'm just trying something out. With the large number of players, I figured I could at least get enough of a reaction before it could escalate into my lynch.
Reactionary play where you do something legitimately scummy is dumb. Just saying, it just makes people validly want to lynch you, and your "trap" of them isn't worth anything.

If your play is going to be based on how you react to people's words...you've got another thing coming....might as well give up playing now.

Policy lynching is usually a stupid thing. Doing it just because you don't like what you're hearing about yourself...especially more so...!


Given all the raving about me these last few pages, only one person seems to have caught on to what I'm saying (though they don't seem to approve) but I'm fine by that.

Because I find that his use of words, in particular, are what makes it scummy. They sound pro-town upon looking, but if you run them through your head as though someone were saying it, they sound very anti-town whichever way you run it.

What the heck Armix a strong FOS for Rogue. Get with it. He doesn't even give a good reason to jump from one wagon to the other.
If I had a second vote it would be there. However, I do not. Cream's utter dismissal of the case on him and Rogue + Riceball's attempts to pass off scummy actions as reaction testing would all deserve votes if I had them actually, but I find the first more suspect. Unsure who wins the tie breaker between the last two based on Rogue's wagoning vs. Riceball's rediculous "It just sounds scummy" comment on skitzer.

do you believe Rogue is a better lynch then Cream?
I forward this question to you Alabaska J.

I remain unconvinced that this is true.

It kind of is when we have a deadline in two days and we need to get someone to 7 votes to get a lynch.
I did not notice that.

Unvote, Vote Rogue

From Nolynch to hammer. Nice.
Is that a hammer? I thought we were still pretty far from a real lynch. By my count rogue is at deadline lynch + 1 aka real lynch - 5.

Something really bugs me about that claim. I don't think DK has been pro-Mario in ANY game in the Mushroom Kingdom. If I am wrong, someone can correct me, but vote stands.

Hmm. That certainly is more recent canon then the ones I was thinking of (namely way back when DK threw barrels at Mario).

Unvote


DK is pretty iconic, and until I see a counter claim, I would believe that RS is telling the truth about his role name. Rule 25 also implies that anti-Bowser is pro-town.

Vote Riceball
as of him + Cream he has more votes and this vote is the most progress towards the day day not resolving in a No Lynch. I will still vote RS if absolutely necessary to end the day in a lynch rather then NL, but if given the choice I would rather lynch Riceball after that claim.

Also I don't know how long getting 10 coins will take. I don't think we should be putting someone on the back burner so long without a good reason.
It shouldn't take that long. We can definitely help him with it. Even if he is straight up lying and just takes them its not the biggest loss as its 2 cop investigations max trading for a sure fire caught scum.

I can attempt to give it straight back.
Good call.

RBT is confirmed to have that role. Lynching him today is not optimal.

SSF, you are wrong. If any of these players claimed an unconfirmable claim I would lynch them on the spot. None have. No reason to lynch confirmable townies when there are still other suspects.

So people, lets focus and not just screw up today.

We don't have any confirmable townies. We have some semi-confirmable roles. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. A bunch of people (including you, I think) thought the same thing about Gimbo and his role.
Semi-confirmable roles is the same thing at this point in the game.

It was pretty evident without even metaing Gimbo that was his play style.

This is the part where you explain why.
Because you aren't using a reasonable, applicable comparison. You are comparing chihuahuas to wolves.

What you are doing is Strawmanning though. You are asking me to defend myself by explaining known logical fallicies, drawing attention from my original argument.

I'm not "comparing anything to anything". I'm applying your argument...
Semi-confirmable roles is the same thing [as confirmable townies] at this point in the game.
...to an absurd situation (claiming a role which can receive coins) to highlight the flaws within it.
armlx wrote:What you are doing is Strawmanning though.
GRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAH

*ahem*

Not true. Strawmanning is when you take a twisted form of an opposing argument and then disprove it. As you can see above, I haven't twisted your argument.
Yes. That is what you are doing. He is proven to have a non-standard role, and that is good enough for now. Your argument was "the game rules work, so I must be town", mine is "the game rules don't apply to him, which is a sign his role works as claimed, and usually that is pro-town".


K7, your vote is the same as voting NL. Please move it.

But my argument still stands. Why should people who have had aspects of their role confirmed be seen as more likely to be town than those who have not?
Scum are more likely to be vanilla then town, and that specific ability seems very odd for a scum.

I can see scum uses for a permanent stoppage of a players Night Choices and the removal of a Townie vote...
Did he say it removed the vote? And what about the bulletproof part?
Huh. I would say this is less likely to be true in Themed games.
Well, I guess it depends on the size of the scum group somewhat, but even then I expect a 50% ratio of scum as vanilla as opposed to a 20-40% town ratio.

Re: RBT, numerically yes RS was on 6 and RBT was on 5, but all the heat was currently on RS and no one was really discussing RBT, and he just pops in out of the blue and goes "all right guys, you've twisted my arm, I'll claim."
No, RS had just claimed and votes were shifting.
Unless you know something we don't, we don't know how many real votes he has.

Yeah, definitely revive PT. I don't care what the other effect of the Shroom is, but the only way it could not be dangerous to revive RS is if the Shroom made him a complete stump (no actions, no coin stuff, no votes, only posts), and even then that would mean nothing as he would probably just not post. PT is an assured pro-town poster at the least.

Still interested in a Cream lynch.
Vote Cream
. SSF is mildly suspect for even suggesting a no revive.

if bringing a scum back to life is outweighed by the bad effect of this 'shroom... then that's an extremely odd shroom... if it's even possible to consider using this on a scum, then wouldn't it be detrimental to the town to use it on pop?
Except that it shouldn't be remotely considerable to use it on a town. Unless the draw back involves automatically town deaths. Then it could be awkward.

I think that the revived player's alignment changes to that of the reviver.
Meh, I still don't see why that would be a problem. Just given a scum group a recruit like that would be unreal powerful, so Gimbo would be confirmed town on balance reasons.

Why are you voting the person who has no part in refusing to claim SSF?


Mod edit:
Visible votecount:
Cream147 (1): armlx
Riceballtail (1): skitzer
Gimbo (1): Riceballtail
Surye (1): somestrangeflea

Not voting (18): iamausername, Phoebus, sideney, Surye, killa seven, Gremwell, mr. incrediball, TheSweatpantsNinja, Alabaska J, farside22, andersonw, malthusis, FaerieLord, Gimbo, Cream147, Korts, ashmite84, goborage

With 22 alive it takes 12 real votes to lynch.

Because he has both the information that we want and a reasonable possibility of being lynched.

Gimbo lacks the latter, so pressure votes won't work.

I realise that Surye hasn't actually posted since this whole scandal began, but it's always nice to have some pressure!
So, your point is you think Gimbo is town, but he is hiding info that would aid the town, so you want to pressure someone else in order to get him to reveal the info? This is 100% confusing.

So you want me to reveal, and if I do, it would probably hurt town, and I'll said 'i told you guys so' and then we lynch you, SSF, how's that plan?
I don't think it will hurt town. Reveal please.

You're going to need about 11 more people to agree with "let's lynch Flea if he does the oh-so-scummy thing of
attempting to spread fear and distrust about a pretty much confirmed townie and create baseless wagons on less confirmed townies based on said statements
Fixed.

Hang on. You actually believe that I don't really believe anything that I've said about Gimbo's alignment over the last 30 pages? That's a pretty strong accusation, and so far, the only basis for it is "not following the crowd".
Yes. I see no reason Gimbo should be anything BUT confirmed townie at this point,
and your pressing the issue is really scummy.
1. "baseless wagons... based on said statements" is a contradiction in itself.
Baseless simply means they lack a logical base, not an illogical one.
2. "Creating a wagon" is a way to say "casting the first vote on someone" whilst attempting to make it sound scummier than it is.
No, I'm referring to how you tried to push the rest of the town into pressuring Surye with you.
3. My vote for Surye was to obtain the information Gimbo was withholding. I've told you this multiple times already. It was not "based on said statements" made to "spread fear and distrust about a pretty much confirmed townie"
Again, Gimbo is pretty much confirmed town. I fail to see how indirectly bandwagoning him is going to help get the info. The correct procedure is just ask, not put votes down.
4. "less confirmed townies" implies that Surye is, in some shape or form, partially confirmed, which is not true.
No, it doesn't. He is less confirmed then Gimbo by being completely unconfirmed.
You're spared a vote because I want to hear a defence before I decide whether to or not. That, and I'm almost certain I'll get cries of [OMGUS Votes]
You seem awfully concerned with not being lynched.
Attempted to completely derail a conversation.
Attempted to dismiss a large amount of consistent gameplay as scummy using one sentence.
Contradicted yourself.
Radicalised a common action.
Ignored the reasoning given for an action then replaced it.
Misrepresented the standing of another player.
1st point: No, I didn't. I've said Gimbo should reveal, and said that your way of trying to go about it is scummy.

2nd: Except I'm right.

3rd: See above

4th: What common action? Trying to start an indirect wagon on a confirmed townie?

5th: I have a feeling your stated and actual reasons differ, hence my post. Replacing stated reasons with intended reasons is a part of making cases, amirite?

6th: I misrepresented nothing.

You seem to believe I think he's scum.
Thats how I'm reading your doubt that he is anything but confirmed town. If I am mistaken, please show me examples of your saying he isn't scum at all and I will rescind my accusation, as that is the main basis of it.

^ please justify why, do you have a better option?
2nd.
Pop has zero value? Does that mean he can't use items?
Pop is still valuable. He can discuss and scum don't really have incentive to kill him, especially with the whole confirmed not Peach thing.
also I know it means little coming from me but I feathered TSN, because I was suspicious of the coin pooling idea, and he checked out, for what its worth
Thank you for sharing, it helps. Also, why would it mean less coming from you?

I do. Namely "not confirmed townie".
You are cleary A) Scum or B) someone with no clear concept of the set up metagame or game balance
Only because you say so.
No, because trying to unconfirm people who actually have no chance of being scum is scummy.
Which is scummy because..? Kinda hard to get a wagon on your own...
Except your wagon was based on bad premises to begin with. Your justification was bad logic on someone you weren't trying to wagon.
"Just asking" wasn't going anywhere.
Except it did get somewhere.
You don't say "less full" for a glass that's completely empty...
You are working with semantics here.
Because..?
Not wanting confirmed townies = scummy, but thats not even the point here. You accused me of derailing a conversation, except everything I stated was on topic.
Because you say so.
No, because Gimbo is actually impossible to be scum and your insistence that he could be is nothing more then a thin scum ploy to set up a mislynch.
See above.
I was referring to the top of the post where I explained how it wasn't a contradiction.
You said "creating a wagon". Not the same as "trying to start in indirect wagon on a confirmed townie", which isn't even right as it implies that I was trying to get Gimbo lynched...
If you weren't trying to get a lynch, why did you place a vote instead of just asking unkindly?
The only assumptions I make about any setup are these:
1. There is at least 1 scum in it.
2. The town is bigger than in the largest scumgroup.
3. The mod won't lie.

How do you counterbalance a scum with an item which revives someone and takes their vote?
Give a townie an item which revives someone and takes their vote. Well that was easy.

There are probably tens (maybe hundreds) of other ways, but, since I'm a player, it's not my job to work any of them out.
Well, assumption 3 is a crap shoot, and there's so many more things you can straight up assume. 2 of these are

Targeted or delayed revival is either a town 1 shot or a zombie cult.
Double voters are pro-town unless the set up gives you an inordinate amount of town power to make you think otherwise.

Your balancing solution is terrible BTW. The strength of that ability for scum is beyond believable. Scum double votes are way too powerful, especially in a hidden real vote count system. Early hammers, auto-winning end games, etc.

I said it doesn't mean much coming from me because unless someone feathered me during the night, or I missed something in my read throughs I'm not confirmed town
Actually, I don't see why anyone wouldn't accept a town result on someone at this point, so long as its not a very, very bizarre case (ie top 2 scummiest people are the 2 people involved). I don't think scum would go out of their way early to link themselves to a false result.

Gimbo, there's a difference between being investigated and having an item which makes you more likely to be town.
This is a good way to explain why Gimbo's post was off track.
FALSE!

You are NOT confirmed town.

And then you accuse Grem of lying? I have half the notion to lynch you for saying this garbage. If you are going to say you're confirmed town, then you should be saying TSN is too, since there's at least as much evidence his direction than yours. You are defeating your own defense.
This is not. Threatening to lynch someone far more confirmed then anyone except maybe the 2 people mod confirmed town is not good play.

Then, by that merit, I'm confirmed too right?
Somewhat. Your role is not meta-confirmed town by being a reviver and double voter, 2 pretty much exclusively town roles. I think you are likely to be town as disabilities like you have are usually pro-town, but there still is a fair chance it could be a scum role, especially as only the non-item/coin part of your role has been demonstrated.

^ yes, but the result could be incorrect, nothing about the investigation or Gremwell is confirmed. confirmed = 100%, 99% = unlikely but still unconfirmed
I doubt the result is incorrect. The two scenarios is if Gremwall is scum group A, TSN is scum group B, which is very unlikely and for all intents and purposes makes the investigation pro-town unless Gremwall flips scum, or a straight up gambit which is fairly risky. The later can be eliminated by simply saying TSN can not be the person to investigate Gremwall so that if it is true Gremwall is investigated by a 3rd party or or lynched to reveal alignment.

This made me laugh. You make less sense than a *insert something with no sense here*. I have a problem with Gimbo. He continually reminds us how he's nearly confirmed town. I can just imagine him as scum laughing behind our back. I'm pretty sure Surye is town. If he were scum, I don't think he'd care about Gimbo revealing the fact that Gimbo has 2 votes, he'd agree with Gimbo to keep it a secret, and then kill Gimbo at night.

You would also distrust Gimbo.

Either Cream or SSF is fine with me for now.

This is wrong though, as all I believe ssf is trying to say is that Gimbo is not necessarily confirmed given the information we have about him.
I see it more as SSF trying to leave Gimbo open for accusation. There is straight up no way in my mind if the game is balanced for him to be scum.

Or add more town power roles in the form of one-shots. We have a lot of potential one-shots. I think we have just seen the tip of the iceberg, really.

if we get him a star he could hold everyone's extra coins over night and re distribute them the next day to keep scum from gaining coins from kills. only drawback is if there is some sort of scum coin stealing night ability. . .
I don't like this. Its practically a mass claim on coins, which I think will help the mafia more then us by far.

Alabaska's distrust of a confirmed townie is odd. Add him to the list.

Actually, I don't think the primary goal for the scum would be to kill a confirmed townie anyway. Look at it like this: to scum, populartajo is now confirmed not-Peach.
You make a valid point, but this sounds like something that isn't good to risk as if the scum are just going for the killing people method of winning it just lets them blow us out.

I can see what Alabaska is saying (power roles more likely to have less coins which would be revealed), but it shouldn't be a huge issue.

Armlx and Alabaska
1. How many coins do you think scum could have?
2. Why do you think power roles more likely to have less coins?
1. This depends on whether the scum have pooled coins or individual coins, I'm assuming the later as the scum can buy multiple Fire Flowers barring additional hidden restrictions. From there, I see 2 alternatives.

A. 1 scum starts with 5+ coins, one with 3ish, and the rest with 0-1, aka 1 free kill for scum + 1 semi-power role + 3 vanillas.

B. Each scum has around 2-3 coins. Same total number as the first, with easier multi-kill potential, but the scum would have to consider coin swapping a bit more strongly.

The lack of a a second kill last night implies B, though infi things involving Mushrooms could have also happened.

2. Why is a cop less likely also be able to role block in a normal game? Same concept of keeping each role within limits. Also giving any power role 3+ coins makes them 1 shot unkillable, which doesn't seem the most balanced. Basically, I think Gimbo's role is very indicative of the power roles we can expect this game.

for some reason, I think that a scum is among the people who did give coins, esp. the ones who have a history of giving people coins willingly (maybe to prove something?).
I agree on the first point, but not the second. The first point is pretty much assured based on number of coin givers anyways.

I think the recent stall in gameplay is directly influenced by Flameaxe not yet having mod powers, and with the popular-coin-situation pretty much resolved, we should return to our regular scheduled programming shortly...
I concur with this. When in doubt, blame BBM.

yes, but scums might also give items willingly to appear pro-town while townies don't feel the need to give anything. its like the conscience of a scum.
Too townie comes to mind.

Lets not discuss potential pro-town roles, K?

As for the scum though, I would expect 5 in each group given the size, and the lack of a second kill which makes it pretty much assured there's no SK as 2 kills would have had to not happened then (assuming each group has a kill)

I've just re-read RS' D1. On more than one occasion he defended Cream saying he didn't see the case against Cream / there were better lynches than Cream. Unless the two are in cahoots, I would have thought that the Cream wagon would have been a cushy place for RS to park his vote and get lost among the crowd.
Good call. Cream is acceptable to me.

Unvote, Vote Cream


That is 5 actual votes by my count: Alabaska, Ashmite, Gobor, Mr. I, myself, plus PT's non-vote.

This is the second time armlx made a HUGE assumption on what the actual vote count is. I do not like this one bit. No sir. HoS: armlx
I highly doubt there are that many double voters in the game. Its usually a mechanic that is used sparingly to avoid "whoever logs on first wins" scenarios. Unless there is a reason to assume someone has more then 1 vote we shouldn't.

No votes is more likely though.

Oh, and though you seem to believe otherwise, scum don't act as predictably as you seem to think.
WIFOM defense.

Also, something interesting to note, the rules explicitly state Bowser can kidnap Peach, nothing about the DK crew.

Malth has been replaced elsewhere I believe. Why is he still in this game.
From what I've gathered from flavour (this is just an assumption), both teams want to be kidnapping the princess. Therefore, I find it more likely that the only competition between the scumgroups is who can kidnap her (and hold onto her) first.
See the rule I quoted.

How are we certain that scum can buy things for the same amounts we can? I've kind of been wondering about this.
Because there are values posted on the front page for changed values, and that item has no changed value?

sure I cleared a townie & because I go after some who questioned it that is scummy? If a few people are questioning it what makes them town versus scum?
I def don't think what you did is scummy, I just think what they did is not scummy and if they are town they are FAR away from the right tree to bark up, if you catch my drift.

However Alabaska, your plan of action, to bring Elias in and give him a dayvig, would not work. Elias has clearly disappeared off the face of the planet.

For everyone who seconded, thirded, fourthed, etc., my issue isn't necessarily that alabaska opposed the lynch, but the way he opposed it. I mean, he didn't even seem to consider it. . . sort of like he already knew he was town.

btw, can't the scums kill one of Grem or TSN tonight? I mean, if they don't want confirmed townies, that's optimal. Therefore, the star tonight really only gets us 1 confirmed townie at best.
They could, but where does that get them?
If Grem was anything BUT town, why would he ask to be checked?
