Why did you feel town would be bored by the curtain parting on the dethy?

I am not the arbiter of why scum would claim Miller after ascetic, only that it does not fit the setup as I see it.

I want to be sure I understand. You think a town miller doesn't make sense in the setup as we -- writ large -- know it so far?

No town Miller does not make sense. It is a waste of creative space if all cops are unreliable anyway.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

Could I interest you in a 17p game where a dethy and a miller were part of the design?

Prolly-traitor weakens it somewhat, but a watered-down townslip is still nice pickings for a day one.

I was on this same line of questioning. Except I have a different reaction from Morph; is this not a scum slip? Actionsan would have been aware of the dethy before it was brought up in the hood.

What was your view on the setup when you doubted the miller claim?
I was close to certain we had 4 cops on a cycle of reliabilites plus one scum of some sort (cop inventor or not)

Pedit. I believe I contemporaneously more or less figured out the setup when the Miller was claimed from memory.

I kinda think ActionDan is Town?

Does he really continue to double down on the miller thing as scum when it’s clearly rubbing people the wrong way and worsening his already vulnerable position?

We're saying it makes Dann feel slightly townier. I'm not sure what it does for AD.

But how did you know that before it was claimed in your hood?

If AD ends up being scum in the hood, this is 500% scum-spiff doing a cred trade, don't let this post get forgotten.

Nobody likes Spay's homework.

TLDR there was a deathy game with a Miller in it and the miller was used as a game design object to have a known stepping-forward-on-decent-play calibration target dummy for the DeAAthy that was unlikely to get shot.

Was this a good game? It does not sound like one unless there were other forces at work in the same vein

I'm not sure what post you're referencing here.
