Unvote
Vote: Iece
After glancing at some stuff and reading over his claim, posts, and my flavor, I've changed my mind. I definitely think that Iece is gambiting scum.
1) The afore-mentioned (and overly complicated) Death Miller claim. The roles thus far have been very standard, and all game I haven't been able to work my head around the notion that Kise would put a Death Miller in this game. It doesn't fit with any other known role information in the game. The
ONLY
unique mechanic we have evidence of is the notion of elements, which is neither crazy nor bastardly enough to warrant acceptance of a "temporary Death Miller until a 'real' scum is killed" type of unorthodox roleclaim.
1b) The claim also has two very common built-in scum provisions. The first is "don't investigate me," because he claims he will show up innocent. There's a pretty good chance that if we have a Cop, they didn't investigate him because the Cop felt it would be a waste of time. The second provision is "don't kill me yet," which has been a known tactic in scum behavior for years.
2) The Ink flavor. I believe that Iece didn't know that his blinded targets would be sent flavor about being blinded. But the black goo (which wolfram can confirm is legit flavor) fits PERFECTLY with being inked by Ultros' Ink attack. I think Iece probably flipped a shit when I said there was associated flavor, and I'm not really sure how I allowed him to weasel his way out of suspicion on this yesterday. Looking back on it, I think it was just poor attentiveness on my own part.
3) I'm also going to meta the decision to blind me overnight and wager that Iece is one of only very small handful of remaining players who would go with neutralizing my vote N1 in lieu of attempting to kill me.
4) Ultros/Orthros' status as a recurring antagonist. The protown flavor is very clearly described as being "Protagonist." Ultros is everything but, on a number of occasions. He is not a
main
villain, but few of the dead protown people are
main
protagonists. But there is no denying that EVERY aspect of Ultros' character is evil. His post-apocalypse flavor isn't enough to sway me from his obvious antagonist-status, combined with the nature of his claim in relation to that of the rest of the known roles, and the connected black-sludge/Ink flavor.
I want Iece dead TODAY. And I'll take any suspicion it generates over having him die as an "unconfirmed" scum because now that I think about it,
we can confirm whether he was the inker or not
. If nobody else gets inked for the rest of the game, then he was clearly scum. If not, then there's a chance (though small, in my estimation) that he was as he said.
