That's just dumb, if you're town. Exposing a town role, when there are already plenty of players with more useful powers and equally solid evidence for being town available to NK, is clearly preferable to allowing a town lynch in this scenario.
Kison just posted yesterday. Kison is also super busy until Thursday.
But if you insist......!
I'm not sure how handling this would be wisest. Seems to be a rather convenient claim for Rogueben to pull out and refuse to confirm, and is quite odd considering we already had a mason batch. We're coming down to the wire, however, so mislynching would be very bad at this point. I'm going to have to agree that we should get the other name and see how they react. We're dealing with three possibilities that I can think of...
1) He is the "last" pirate as Cicero believes, or he is the last of another group(assuming weird numbering here). If this is the case, forcing the name out of him will dig his grave as the person he names will deny being buddied with him.
2) He is in another scum group and will be forced to name his partner. This is a double whammy if it backfires, because if the person he names agrees with him, and one of these two die, then they're going to lose the game, because no-one but a scum buddy would admit to being mason paired with someone who they're not.
3) He is Town and a mason.
It's deciphering between #2 and #3 that will be the tricky part. If Rogueben refuses to name someone before the deadlines with a strong voice demanding it, he should be lynched and I will gladly pile my vote on.
Who was it that mentioned something about two scum teams possibly being aligned with one another?
There's one more person, UA, who I think could conceivably be his partner, though I think it's doubtful. If he's scum & there's 3 to a group, I'd bet that Kison's his partner.
"When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -
Ooba hasn't said anything to that effect yet.
Nor has Lawrencelot, though I can't remember off hand who his predecessor was, let alone if (s)he claimed.
Sorry, I've been far more absent than I promised myself I'd be, I'll post properly in a bit. FWIW I'm not Rogueben's mason buddy playing some cunning gambit. I think Rogueben's lying, but I also don't think scum would claim mason buddies with their scumbuddy regardless of anything, so really it just depends on whether he sees the light about outing his buddy (the good play).
