Greetings, I am your new Gamma! My lucky number is 19, I like long walks in mysterious forests, and voting scum.
VOTE: Enchant
I agree that it is quite likely to be a 2-person scum team with this vig-happy setup and the talk from Dragon at the start of the game.
And I have no idea why dave is talking like there must be a backup. A backup in addition to the backup shot we see in the Katsuki flip? What does the mod have to do with any of it? I am confused.-

Yeah, that shouldn't be because of Katsuki. Her ability was specific to the Night it gets activated so she couldn't have inherited Dannflor's role as that role died during the Day.
I was thinking it was reasonably likely another scum would be a backup but I guess it's much more likely now.-

Well maybe, I've been trying to work up a theory on what's going on with night actions but I need to read some more to see if my newest suspicion has something to it. I've only read portions of the game and that led me to suspect Black, so I'm trying to reassess.In post 2277, Gypyx wrote:

anyways, did you perhaps have more theories to entertain us with duelist? this game certainely feels like we're at a standstill lol

Well that's a little rude. If you're making people read between the lines you can't really blame them for not understanding. I'm glad you said as much as you did, that info is helping me form a new theory, but I'm not sure why you aren't just saying it.In post 2278, davesaz wrote:

Okay, I'll say a little more. I'm operating on the theory that Black or Katsuki shot the other. Does anyone want to claim giving them a gun? It would be helpful to know if that came from town rather than Dragon's invention.-

N1: Dragon gives doublekill to Black or Katsuki + Second scum tries to make night kill but is blocked
N2: Black and Katsuki die from the invention + Second scum gives dave the other doublekill
I keep forgetting it's not inherent multitasking, so yeah this makes perfect sense for a 2 scum team.
The first invention not being claimed was throwing me off for a while, maybe there was concern we'd just vote them out because of it? Dunno.-

I don't think a town backup gives you something that makes you make dire pronunciations about how town needs you to townread them. If they think you're scum they give you the first one, which just kills you. If they don't think you're scum, why the hell are they giving an invention to you? Give it to a scumread!-

And I don't think this game has room for there to be a town version of that inventor! Why aren't there more deaths if there's been two?-

Hello Elements! I think the remaining scum's N1 kill was blocked. You wouldn't happen to be able to provide info about a blocking action N1 to hopefully wrap up this game would you? Maybe even with a side of rolecop showing if the target was a backup?

What if it was a jailkeep and so somewhat ambiguous whether it was the intended target or killer? Or just lack of certainty that it was their own action causing it rather than someone else's and not feeling the need to start outting roles like that yet?In post 2306, JacksonVirgo wrote: If the N1 maul was blocked, I believe somebody would have claimed it as that's pretty incriminating.

I don't see that it matters why it wasn't claimed at this point, it wasn't and that's that. I'd want to give town info about why people were going to be dying, maybe even get a roleblock on me to stop it, but apparently someone thought differently.In post 2307, JacksonVirgo wrote:
Or they could have thought it was from the Town inventor and just kept quiet about it. I believe the only ones they would have claimed would be the vig/bg one as it's just a suicide. The other two would probably be the two that wouldn't get claimed by a Town that thought it was from a Town so I'm seeing either of those as to what was givenIn post 2285, Duelist Kage wrote: The first invention not being claimed was throwing me off for a while, maybe there was concern we'd just vote them out because of it?

notthink that a missing N1 kill warrants any blocking actions being claimed here so we can narrow down the suspect pool? Or rolecop results showing someone is a backup? Please explain why, in that case. It's d3 with a caught scum and probably one remaining, so I don't see the wisdom in continuing secrecy of valuable information. We could even go full massclaim but that's quite possibly overkill given the situation. We definitely should be claiming these relevant pieces of information if we have them.-

In fact I will further clarify. Any action that could have stopped the night one kill needs to come out now so we can evaluate. Even if it's a doc protect, that's a clear and we don't want our forced vig to blow up a conftown, do we?
Would we rather just massclaim? Are people more comfortable with that?-

You guys are quite frustrating.
It's a fact that Black had a gun N2. No way do scum give her anything but the double-kill invention. Chew on that for a bit. I'll be back later when you're ready to talk seriously.-

Do you just not believe in mass-claims or something? That's an absurd position. This is a great place to do a mass-claim; we have a good amount of information already and putting it all together will allow us to strategize what to do in the future. If not just flat-out solve things.In post 2338, JacksonVirgo wrote:
No, what's optimal is that we eliminate somebody, and then shoot the counterwagon. Consider both wagons as if they're being eliminated and claim accordingly. There's no real need for a mass-claim or a claim of any sort.

We have a townie who's forced to suicide-bomb someone tonight- don't we want to figure out who is confirmed townbeforethat so he can target in PoE? There's one scum left unless anyone wants to argue against that point- anyone who had a confirmable N1 action is basically confirmed town because the remaining scum would be trying to make a night kill. Or find out who can hopefully roleblock to prevent that from happening? There may be multiple people who can roleblock- do we want them all to decide on their own to stop him and waste actions? Coordination is important.-

Well Gamma followed your/kyouko slot which was performing a JAILKEEP and ROLE INVESTIGATIVE action. And there was no kill that night.In post 2416, Elements wrote:

I can see it as a tmi red play to try and look more town
I don't see where anyone would see a dragon guilty from
So that may have had a little to do with it???
I'm assuming that's a combined action on the same target since mutitasking modifier was removed months ago, but feel free to say something if that's somehow wrong.-

I'm even gonna take a wild guess at your target being Jackson, but I haven't looked through stuff enough to that be very firm, just saw kyouko was sus of him. Can't say I've liked his behavior today at all, feels very much like he knows he could get mech-guiltied and wants to deny info.-

There's one scum left, Elements. You're basically conftown because your action is confirmed and so am I. There's no multitasking. No way scum decide to no-kill so they can go investigate some townie.-

I don't know exactly what your investigative is but I'm assuming not a full cop. That would be OP with a JK. ScumGamma would expect you targeted her to block the kill there, not Dragon.-

Right, that's exactly what I'd expect it to be for. If we didn't hit the scum inventor first we'd all be expecting a likely 3-scum team. That action could be an earlier tip-off, if people are communicating.In post 2457, Gypyx wrote:

I don't think it really does; maybe Black got both inventions or Katsuki got the vig. I don't think gunsmith is going to differentiate how many gun-bearing abilities someone has. . Either were likely to shoot the other with the scum doublekill. That's the only explanation I'm seeing for there being two deaths last night, unless someone belatedly wants to claim a vig.In post 2469, Gypyx wrote: also ummm not that it matters but i've read my role PM wrong, the macho is not activated it's passive, so that's basically a machoifier
anyways the important part is that i gave black the cop invention night 1 so maybe it's actually katskui who received the gun from the wolves? not sure if this changes anything-

You sound like you want to counter-claim inventor. I don't think there's any need for that. There can totally be two inventors and they don't necessarily need to be stocked with things likely to be helpful. I believe Gypyx's roleclaim. It's way more complex and situationally relevant for than necessary for something she'd have just decided to put together to spuriously claim without need.In post 2490, JacksonVirgo wrote:

What do you mean by red herring? If the setup says there's a godfather there's a godfather. Should be a godfather/backup, which is why I'm clearing people for having provably used roles. Godfather+backup+anything else sounds too over the top.-

Jackson, you're not even absorbing the argument on why it was a 2-person wolf team. You didn't bother even including the world that I believe we're in as apossibility. You're jumping to weird conclusions like "maybe Maul is actually not ever usable because scum are compulsively doing other things" rather than accept the much more viable position that the n1 kill was simply blocked and n2 the remaining wolf was forced to vend the vig to dave rather than outright kill. It makes evenmoresense now that we know dave was the JK target for n1, so he was almost certainly protected there and so they tried again with the n2 vig invention.-

Look, here's a breakdown of worst case scenario if we were in a 3 wolf world. Thomith's wasn't dire enough because he forgot about the N2 kill.
9 town/3 wolf
D1 miselimination
8/3
N1 kill, vig dispensed
7/3 on D2
D2 miselimination
6/3
N2 kill, 2 deaths from vig invention
3/3 starting D3 = game over
This is not balanced. There's potential for scum to get vigged or target the same as the town vig, but I don't believe bianco makes a game with alargerthan standard scum team and then puts in extra killing power which is largely controlled by wolves.
I'll review the suggested plan later when I have more time but my initial impression is that Jackson is still being a paranoid tunneller and hopefully it doesn't even matter because Enchant is my prime suspect right now.-

What's the same, the two scenarios you gave which both end after 3 miseliminations (actually in the first one town still has a chance after the third miselimination if the townie hits scum with the vig)? Okay, and? You're coming up with a scenario which you yourself call "not at all what I'd expect from a normal" and insisting that it's somehow likely what's going on here rather than it just being a 2p wolf team, because if it's 2p you'd have to clear me and you're too tunneled for that. You're almost makingIn post 2613, JacksonVirgo wrote: And in the world where there is no scum factional kill cuz of compulsive wolves.
9v3 wcs
Elim into 8v3
Vig vended 8v3
Elim into 7v3
Vig vended + 2 town dead 5v3
Elim into 4v3
Vig vended + 2 town dead 2v3
That's worst case scenario.
Wolves got 1.33 KPN by N3 and then it once again drops because that's exhausting the double kills.
And that's additional KPN that's risky as fuck due to it being in the hands of the TownANDdelayed so it can be dealt with by the JK, the doctor invention, or gypyx's utility to control the killing somewhat. 3+ ways to block the kills, plus a slow and not even that beneficial kill method for the scum that's only barely beneficial by numbers over a traditional night kill that would only really benefit them if they're super lucky or they had excellent thread control
If you run it normally
9v3 elims into 8v3
kills into 7v3
elims into 6v3
kills into 5v3
elims into 4v3
kills into 3v3
Notice how it's pretty much the exact same?mewant to consider that you're TMIing your "3 wolves but they're all compulsively doing something useless besides the inventor and so Maul is just a red herring" scenario but I'm not going to go down the paranoia rabbithole. The tunnel on me is annoying - like, you call my and Gypyx's powers unhelpful and then complain that there's too many PRs for them all to be real? You're trying to talk your mech into agreeing with your scumread rather than re-evaluate it. I'm probably not going to engage with you on this matter further, I don't see it doing any good. I'm going to start looking at all the claims and strategize now.-

Oh, just seeing this. Interesting. Your vanilla cop got results on both of them? Vanilla should be a clear because remaining scum is godfather/backup into inventor (or *sigh* compulsively doing something that blocks them from making a NK). I'm assuming someone having an invention would still show as vanilla but if that's not what you got on them it's worth double-checking.In post 2569, Elements wrote:

It was a bit annoying to have to wait, but how can anything be incriminating? Are you arguing for a wolf having a JK+investigative?
Follower action gives results in the form of a category, such as killing, jailkeeping, role-investigative, etc. It was something in the role investigative category, which has 11 different possibilites and Vanilla Cop is indeed one of them. Not that I doubted it would be.Also, was the follow (?) result "rolecop" or "rolecop-like"? Could make a difference as what Elements said was vanilla cop. A rolecop would be able to give a specific role.-

There shouldn't be any more of the vig+bg so I don't think this is necessary, I believe we can just use it to confirm amount of wolves via her Lazy modifier. So best to send it to you?In post 2605, JacksonVirgo wrote: I don't think it's actually necessary to cross-invention each other, I just said each other cuz it seems cleaner to think about but if u got a Macho left, you should probably place it on someone scummy so that if it lands and somebody gets a suicide-vig they can avoid killing themselves.-

Here's what I've got:
Claims
Duelist Kage:JOAT (Follower on Elements N1, Gunsmith on Black N2, ModifierCop)
Gypyx:Lazy Inventor (announcing FruitVendor to Black N2, Cop-Inventor to Black N1, compulsive personal Strengthener, Macho)
JacksonVirgo:Inventor (?)
davesaz:VT?
Elements:JOAT 2xSimple Compulsive Combined Jailkeeper+Vanilla Cop (on davesaz N1, Hu Tao N2)
Enchant:?
Thomith:VT
Hu Tao:VT
In 2-wolf world:
Duelist Kageis clear from confirmed Follower information on Elements' N1 action
Elementsis clear from Duelist Kage's Follower results showing that she used JK+Vanilla Cop N1 because Dragon dispensed an invention to Black or Katsuki and remaining wolf would be expected to make a NK
Hu Taois clear from Elements' N1 Vanilla Cop because remaining wolf cannot be Vanilla due to confirmed Godfather and dave's claim of receiving wolf's invention showing that the second wolf must also be a Backup
davesazis clear from Elements' N2 Vanilla Cop for same?? (waiting on confirmation)
JacksonVirgois clear from dispensing an invention to Hu Tao N1 because Dragon dispensed an invention to Black or Katsuki and remaining wolf would be expected to make a NK
Thomith is unsorted
Enchant is unsorted
Gypyx is unsorted
Plan:
Flip Enchant
-----
Kage/dave/Elements/Jackson/Hu/Elements/Gypyx/Thomith
Duelist Kage uses ModifierCop on Gypyx to confirm she has Lazy modifier rather than Compulsive
davesaz targets Thomith with vig invention
Jackson does something
Gypyx gives Macho to Jackson to confirm wolf count
Hu Tao maybe uses an invention
Elements bloops
-----
Kage/Elements/Jackson/Hu/Elements/Gypyx
Gypyx remains to be sorted- if dave is still alive he was lying about getting the wolf invention and his gambit is done for- he can't claim to have been protected because we're not going to do that now that we've got all this info out, right?
Kage confirms or refutes Gypyx's modifiers
Jackson confirms whether Gypyx's Macho invention was received to give info on remaining wolves
I know, Jackson is going to want to plan for the 3-wolf world, but I think this is a good start to that at least. Feel free to take it from here.-

If you're more sus of her now, all the more reason for me to check her modifiers to see if it matches her claim.
And if you can confirm the wolf count some other way, cool. My original thought was to give me the Macho because you want it to go to someone scummy and I don't think it's even going to be received because Lazy would kick in, but I didn't expect you to believe me telling you whether or not I got it so it doesn't really resolve the issue.-

I guess I did mention I had ModifierCop leftaftershe claimed, so she wouldn't have been crafting a claim with the expectation of being able to be caught out with it. If I'd mentioned it before she claimed, it'd be a pretty silly thing to fake.-

I'm trying to parse this. I think you mean if I claim not to have received the Macho?JacksonVirgo wrote: 1. If somebody gets a suicide-vig, they should shoot Kage 100% of the time if they claim to not have received one. This will kill them 100% of the time if they lied, so they won't lie.
Really by the point this could even matter everything should be sorted so I'm not too fussed. If Gypyx's modifiers check out and davesaz and Thomith are gone then we're in something like a bizarro 3 compulsive wolf or scum JK world but I'm fine waiting to cross that bridge.
I can't really have thoughts on actions I don't know but I expect you and Hu are town and reasonably competent at figuring out what to do with this ability. Any additional info from whatever you two are doing is just extra on top of a fine plan.2. The investigation I gave Hu Tao is incredibly likely unused or even if it was used last night that wifom is open, and it's a visit-based investigative so even if you do wifom. If the result goes against theirs, then you go down.
I think it's fine. Thoughts?-

Alright then. Let's make sure to verify the result Elements got on dave first though. I have trouble imagining it's not accurate because in the bizarro world where the scum get to choose the vigs and JK action she's still trueclaiming at least the N1 action part of her role. Can't imagine why she'd lie about the target.
Now you've got me actually thinking too much about bizarro worlds, alas. Probably because it's 4am. I guess if we somehow get to tomorrow and our results are me getting Macho but also clearing Gypyx off her modifiers but we didn't get either scum yet, we resolve the flip via who got the scum vig or something? I feel like Elements would likely be scum here because of the compulsive so we probably go flip her? And resolve me via the vig? Leaving Jackson/Hu/Gypyx in 3P elo with Gypyx as conftown from my action and I think maybe also Jackson because Hu is confirming his action and was 'cleared' as vanilla by scum thus not actually clear- unless whatever the invention does can prove otherwise? I would actually need to think about this more.
Dear lord, why did I go down the rabbithole?-

Meanwhile Enchant is just sitting there waiting to be released from the doomed scum slot and rolling his eyes as we spin elaborate irrelevant plans.-

Paging Elements for a response to this before ending day, just in case.

Okay good, dave got the memo on shooting Elements instead if she was wrong about him being vanilla. I was a little worried since it hadn't been explicitly stated. Damn, that was a nice fakeclaim from her. Adding Simple for no particular reason was just a chef's kiss.
I got the Macho, of course, and the Vig+BG invention so I shall be exploding myself tonight if we don't catch the last wolf here.
I didn't realize that inventions from an inventor would trigger ModifierCop as well, as I got a list of all of the modifiers Gypyx claimed for her inventions: lazy, announcing, personal, compulsive. I may have chosen targets differently if I'd realized that but still, I'm inclined to clear her because Elements was the backup so the last wolf must be the Godfather and giving all that on top seems a bit much? Although I guess expecting things to not be a bit much from this game at this point is maybe... a bit much?
We need to know what's going on with Jackson's inventions now.-

You think there's going to be a nightkill tonight when we don't seem to have had them yet? I think we're just in 3P tomorrow. Although my head is kind of spinning now.

I will be very disappointed if wolves actually get to kill here finally. Itshouldmatter that we took the second one out and are in 4-1 here rather than 3-2.
I guess I've got to agree that Hu seems the most likely suspect. If Jackson's 1-shot Doc invention is scum too, I'm just going to cry. The jailkeeper was scum. There's bonus kills all over the place. We might not even make it to 3P ELO despite being at 4-1. The setup is definitely chaos.
I guess I'll have to revisit what might've been going on with kills. If Hu is the godfather, she must have been compulsively doingsomethingalso in order to not be able to use Maul. Hopefully something totally useless to the wolves.-

I guess there was also dave's role to potentially limit the carnage- hadn't really even looked at his flip. So a 1-shot doc invention and an odd-night Bulletproof (when N1 isn't going to have a kill anyway) for protective abilities. Against probably three nights of double kills.
Who did the doc go to?-

Also Elements was a rolecop, not vanilla cop like she claimed. I wonder why the switch. Obviously she never targeted dave or she'd have been able to claim his info accurately. Who would she have targeted, then? Feels likely to be relevant. Not Jackson because his invention went through to Hu. Probably not Gypyx because Black had the gun which could've been either invention but if she was rolecopped they probably would've tried to kill her next as a PR that could mess with their stuff? I guess it's possible Hu was the n1 target instead but why lie about the night?-

Black was townread day one? Boy, then I really don't have a good sense of how this went from my patchwork reading. I saw a lot of suspicion that she and Dragon were teamed. I doubt they would try to investigate Black, I expect they wanted her to die from the vig given n1 in which case her role probably doesn't matter.-

Wow, I finally get some sleep and wake up to this.
Yes, I agree. I hated the way Jackson was playing since I repped in but mechanically the setup favored him being town due to sheer inability to do anything to stop the overwhelming scum power.In post 2915, Gypyx wrote: what were the infos bianco?
ftr that's a super creative setup but i think it was a fair bit scumsided
Didn't help that I basically missed the Lazy modifier on the Dann role and couldn't believe the setup would be so stacked in scum's favor so I was confident we weren't needing to deal with a third wolf or I would've wanted to wait for dave to verify. I expected two chances to get the third one if Elements was actually lying there.
I really have to wonder why this is a 12p rather than 13p. It's not even possible to make it to day 5 without a lot of luck in managing to block a scum kill somewhere. Being in 4-1 with 2 dead wolves and not being able to vote wrong isbitterand totally avoidable if it's a standard sized game. Townreallyneeded to have more power if wolves are getting a larger than standard team and all this ability to create chaos.-
