Convienient my arse. Get this. I failed first year Psychology because during the exams I was going back and forward through police interviews and they wont accept that as evidence for mitigating circumstances. Now, I've just tried to get on a Social Work course but that's full too, my uni fails to realise that UCAS applications are void now because they deadline has past. Now I'm going have to wait for clearing, so I'll end up on a stupid course that I have no wish to complete or get a job from. Either that or I'm going to have to quit Uni for a year and take a gap year and get a full time job, which will totally ruin mine and Jordan's lives because we wont be able to keep up with rent AND council tax. On top of that, I'm suffering with problems with my heart, the guy I gave evidence for at the police station has expressed desires to kill me and I have every wish in the world to kill myself. Great and now my mother thinks I'm a worthless, useless pile of shit - not really any change there, usually she doesn't tell me though. Yes, I am crying right now, I apologise for any incorrect spelling or grammer. So no, my problems arent convienient. Kindly, fuck off.
And modding my newbie games is my top priority of MS. So you can fuck off on that one too.
Have a nice day.
Gee whiz, Haylen makes me look like I'm in seventh heaven...
I'm noting these two posts for later. I think this exchange more sensibly hurts magnus_orion because real life events are not a tell (and I'm pretty gosh darn sure we can verify whether Haylen's presence is iffy in general or just in this thread), but for me to be sure I have to give a lot more thought to this than I am right now.
My desire to have Haylen post content is not unusual, nor is scum using RL issues to justify not posting. While Haylen has claimed to have RL issues, there are two things to consider:
1. Is Haylen lying (honestly, I find this slightly unlikely. The amount of effort for the benefits of just one game is at the very least frustrating for someone to deal with)
2. Haylen is having RL issues, but this is not necessarily interfering to the degree she cannot comment. Rather she is using it as a personal and in-game excuse to avoid the game, for fear of becoming suspicious (this is more likely, and pretty commonplace)
If you honestly don't believe this type of thing is a scumtell, I can link a game, but its pretty widely accepted that not posting content when posting = scummy.

Did you ever state that before? I was under the impression that you could use your third 'global 1 time' ability and your normal ability. Tar: is this true for you?

Suggestion to your plan not helpful? That is an interesting thing to say since I didn't fully know your abilities. I will also note that you said you have "each of the abilities on that list" but according to your claim (and your global 1-shot ability not working at same time) you couldn't possibly be a murderer/vig right?
Maybe I don't fully 'get' your role yet, but it is your entire role overall that I don't find balanced. Haylen is a 1-time roleblock decided at the beginning of the game. Tar just flips cop insanities where cop sanities are already fairly useless. You flip everything (which could affect mafia kills, turn doc into vigs, plus cop sanity, etc.) plus jack of all 1 shots. I still have no idea what miller to kill ability will actually even do.

As for the "plan". You didn't convince me of why I would choose to kill anyone but SC-SK first.
Humor me for a moment but let's say we are 100% certain of scum somehow since your plan seems to imply this. (lynch Dramonic, Vig SP. You seem certain about at least 1 of them is scum right?).
1. Lynch SC, the almost certain SK first, then lynch 100% mafia scum.
2. Lynch Mafia (100% certainty) then lynch SK.
In 1: We lynch SC-SK. 2 mafia, 3 townies left if only mafia night kill action go through. If Tar vigs/protects, blah blah, then it could be even better but if we know 100% who mafia is, we lynch/vig them to get worst case 3-4 player lylo with 1 mafia left. This doesn't involve any "reliance" on power roles/sanities, etc.
2. If we lynch 100% mafia first; we have 1 SK, 1 mafia and town-aligned left. Depending on various night actions by players, this could result with the same 3-4 player lylo situation (2 town, 1 mafia) or it could end up in several other permutations such as kingmaker, etc. mainly based on the fact that if we lynch the "100%" mafia, we obviously can't vig them, we "shouldn't" be able to vig SC-SK (so would we try?) so if we lynch mafia and THEN vig mafia (not SC-SK) we would win by lynching SC-SK in lylo .... if things go 'wrong' somehow we get kingmaker/auto-town lose permutations.
So why would I go with a plan that has holes(I have to believe and trust you and your role)/probability of failure and gives me lots of uneasiness, when the lynch SC-SK plan has no "instant lose" (unless you do global, Tar vigs a townie and mafia kill?) and town can still win lylo without relying on power roles at all.
Perhaps I should ask this: You want to lynch Dramonic and vig Sociopath. Would you lynch Sociopath, vig dramonic? Would you lynch SC-SK, vig one of those two? Can you guarantee me that your non-SC-SK lynch is scum?

Which question do you mean from a few posts ago?
Corvuus
I said I have a series of one shot abilities. I'm a jack of all trades. I can use one ability a night. I don't believe I said it, but I'm pretty sure it applies to everyone in the game, unless they are told otherwise, with the possible exception of mafia kills (which may be given separate status). Although its not stated in my role pm, I verified I can only use one ability a night.
As for the "plan". You didn't convince me of why I would choose to kill anyone but SC-SK first.
Because I have doubts SC is actually an SK and if this works out nobody but town should be left, or SC + town, so we lynch SC then.
To be perfectly frank, I don't need to convince you, though. You'll note that your cooperation in this is completely unnecessary.
So why would I go with a plan that has holes(I have to believe and trust you and your role)/probability of failure and gives me lots of uneasiness, when the lynch SC-SK plan has no "instant lose" (unless you do global, Tar vigs a townie and mafia kill?) and town can still win lylo without relying on power roles at all.
Yes you do have to believe me. Guess what happens if I'm lying. A bunch of protections go through and one mafia kill.
Big risk in my lying eh?
More people die if I'm telling the truth.
Plus, if I were scum, it would reveal me instantly, wouldn't it?
Suggestion to your plan not helpful? That is an interesting thing to say since I didn't fully know your abilities. I will also note that you said you have "each of the abilities on that list" but according to your claim (and your global 1-shot ability not working at same time) you couldn't possibly be a murderer/vig right?
Ok, whatever.
Right. I can't kill anyone without sociopath's help.
And then not in the same night phase as I use my ability letting tar and haylen kill.
You want to lynch Dramonic and vig Sociopath. Would you lynch Sociopath, vig dramonic? Would you lynch SC-SK, vig one of those two? Can you guarantee me that your non-SC-SK lynch is scum?
In order:
Yes, but preference goes to lynching Dramonic.
No
Only as much as you can guarantee that SC is an SK.

When I levelled up and took more class levels in Mod, I also maxed my ranks in bastardery
explain precisely what about the setup spurned this statement, corvuus
this one. I suppose its more of a request, than a question, but the net result is the same.
Could you please fulfill the request?
Anyway, to address your concerns:
Possible results:
Worst case scenario (as I see it)
SC=SK
Haylen lives (and is scum)
...
Tar
Coorvus
SC
Haylen
are alive
Action by town: Lynch Haylen
Night phase: No kills (SC can't kill, Mafia are dead)
Next day:
Action by town: Lynch SC
Town wins.
