FULL CLAIM TIME
READ THIS WHOLE POST CAREFULLY
I am Ethan; I have a role called Little Boy. The role allows me to passively receive one message from scum chat.
NP1:
"And tomorrow just claim commuter if someone asks"
NP2:
"After tonight we'll be 1 vs 4.
Mikal
Mag1cman
Lunatic
wylted
Magoroth
We need 2 mls to win"
Mikal being at the top of this list of players in the “1 vs. 4” implies that Mikal is scum.
Notice the double space in “1 vs. 4” as well as mislynch being abbreviated as “ml”… both of these things match exactly with how Mikal types.
Btw, my role was another reason why I would’ve hammered Pie before the DP closed, had someone not beat me to it. I can buy some higher investigative power than normal this game bc of the yakuza, but watcher, cop, little boy, plus magaorth’s weird role was way too much. You need to take out one of the big ones and that ended up being Pie’s “watcher”
Spending all that time delaying giving my thoughts out has another benefit: It attracts a Sus onto me. I know this bc I was wrongly tunneled for it by Savant in Game Shows Mafia.
And if I’m being sussed, it means I stay alive to gain a second result. My first result wasn’t the jackpot I was looking for.
Earlier last DP, I said to Magoroth, “You have to argue Pie recruited me and tried to cover me by claiming watcher. Good luck arguing that.” Something like that; I don’t remember the post number. But Magoroth had expressed a Sus on me for “TMI” so I wrote my response specifically so that he’d keep sussing me, maybe get a Sus from some else.
Pie was always going to be the lynch that DP, so it was low risk.
The last behavior of mine I’m going to point out is my “claim” from yesterday, where I said “I targeted Lunatic, my action failed, and I think it was a roleblock because it wasn’t a commuter.”
This had two purposes. First, no one with an important role claims their roleblock, they keep it hidden. By signaling that I don’t have an important role, I improve my odds of not being the NK. Secondly, it leaves a legacy. If Lunatic were to make the mistake of claiming commuter in the event of me being NK’d, he would be immediately outed by flip and my quote. Scum Lunatic wouldn’t be likely to make a mistake, but it was the best I could with my NP1 result. So you can see why I wanted a second result so badly.
You can mislynch me, but you have to make sure you get Mikal next DP, because I feel confident it’s him.
To minmax you should lynch Mikal first anyway. Otherwise he could use his role to make himself unvoteable. Given that chats and common sense, it’s unlikely that he has a second usage of it, or that Banana would allow the role to be used in LYLO. But it’s a risk I’d rather not take.
VTL: Mikal
