I won’t be in thread until much later today.


As I said last DP, Shining almost certainly town for mechanical reasons. Now it hinges on Tex being town but I’m highly confident in my town read of Rex, from the behavior to the claim.

Can you elaborate more?

What specifically? I have a book of justification, but the gist of it is what I said. Want me to copy past it in AI and translate it or something?

well that's not allowed but give your own summary. Is it reall just about Krypton being a Greek word for hidden? Like do the other contents of the PM add anything else?

A Shining/Whiteflame world is theoretically possible, but then why does Whiteflame target Shining? It's not like scum Whiteflame has a reason to shove anything targeting him scum Shining's way. It's not like Shining was a high-priority cop target either.

Given that Neodymium is literally the element famous for magnets, the only world in which Shining is a magnet is slim. Even if the role isn't called magnet, it still feels like the odds are slim.


I feel comfortable in asserting that Shining is town.

First things first, I trust Rex. I found him towny last DP, nothing here changes that. Whiteflame isn't an unreasonable track target.


So we know Rex targeted Whiteflame, and that he got the result that Whiteflame visited Shining. I do not believe there is any town reason to target Shining. The only mafia reason I can think of, is that scum has a role that deflects actions from themselves, to their target. It is possible that they could move actions from a teammate, to their target as well, depending on the answer to a question I want Rex to ask Pie.


In either situation, town Shining was chosen because there wasn't going to be any watching eye on him, and anything scum gets targeted with, goes to Shining.


However, if we think of a world where Shining is scum, the role responsible for this has to be a magnet.


Mag1cman

I will note that dreamer is a crazy risky claim, if even one person says they targeted you, then you're in trouble. The only saving grace is you could argue they were redirected and didn't end up hitting you. But with no knowledge of who would target you, it's not super easy to make a case for that person being redirected.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE CLAIMED NIGHT ACTIONS ALREADY

could you remind me?

See #369. I broke down how my night action played out there, how Mikal's did, and two unknown night actions that affected at least mine. To clarify since it might initially be unclear, my intended target was Luna.

I have a very hard time believing Shining would be a target for a vanillizer.

I will say this: Pie puts little traps for town in his setups to keep us all on our toes. He does it to the mafia team as well. For example, in that CoD game, he gave the mafia team a strongman even though there was no doctor.


It was very mean :(
