Not sure if you're still sussing me, but I agree with the theory that 3P probably got a choice of whether to side with town or scum. If they sided with scum, they got a fake claim. So if you're hunting 3P you're looking for a fake claim, and as a fake claim Cop is risky af.

I am Cha Hae-In. Thanks to my keen nose, I can sniff out monsters no matter where they lurk. The power is called "Mana Smell" but is functionally just alignment Cop.

Character l, role amd justification too


? I've already claimed


Oh the gif. I just feel guilty. I'm sure you can guess why I didn't use my ability last night.


Reread ur PM, do you want to change your claim?


What's this now

Wryly

I feel like you missed some stuff so:


Rex claimed Cop as a decoy to protect me

When it became clear Pie was lock town he revealed the Cop was actually me

Rex also full claimed at that point (Hwang Dongsoo - Villainous Nature - He randomizes all investigative results targeting him)

Helz would not full claim which caused an avoidable fracas

Now we all know Helz can be obstinate and contrary to a fault as town and can modify our future reads of him accordingly

I should stop playing mafia, it makes neighbor's visits torture. "Hey I like you neighbor but I could not want you to GTFO more so I can get back to my extremely niche online suspicion game with people I have never met."

Casey says scum injured them last night and they'll die tonight. If they're telling the truth and injuries work like poison, then that might also explain the lack of NK.

Wryly

Scum having both a Poisoner and something that can injure seems excessive, but it would explain the lack of an NK. On the other hand it could just be a desperation play from scum. Can you full claim, Casey?

I'm just on my break right now and don't have time to read through 47 pages just yet, can I have the TLDR for why everyone is sus of Shining in particular?


Supplemental to Banana's nice recap:


Shining's claiming he is himself, and he has a 1x ability to redirect an action from another player onto himself. He says his justification is that he is a silent type with a strong desire to win.

Hey, I'm here. The 60 hour work week I had kind of swung a wrecking ball at the progress I had been making with my mental health, which is why I disappeared. After a certain point, I assumed that I must have been either lynched or replaced out, which is why I was surprised to learn that I have been injured. Which means that unless there's a healer role here, I'm going to die tonight. So I'm alive, but only for today. I'm going to try to get caught up, but I'd really appreciate a recap as well.


Sorry to hear your week's been so rough. 🫂


Can you elaborate on the injury? The Poisoner is dead.

Wryly

I'm saying if he had full claimed when Rex did I would absolutely have voted Shining last DP. My inability to rationalize his actions as pro-town was a huge deciding factor in my scumread of him.

Wryly

Maybe he might have been sussed even if he had claimed, I'm not sure. I would definitely have VTL'd Shining over Helz if Helz had full claimed, though.


Worse, I can't even say I "learned a valuable lesson" here, the goal he deemed so worthy of getting mislynched for. I still think pressing for a full claim before lynching is still sound strategy in mech-heavy games. I think all this did was waste a day phase we could have spent lynching Shining and getting a nice 3-0.

Wryly
R u really that surprised lol


Honestly, yes. I just couldn't get it through my head that a townie would really let us careen off a cliff into a pointless mislynch out of some stubborn, misguided, spiteful determination to teach town a lesson that doesn't even really apply to the kinds of games DC moderators design. That he was just cornered OMGUSing scum seemed more believable than that.

Wryly

I don't know why I haven't hammered yet. I think I'm just burnt out. Or maybe it's sentiment. I feel pretty bad, I can't take it when people play the hurt feelings card. I fold immediately.

Wryly

Helz is claiming Yoo Jinho, Odd Night Tracker, and some kind of protective role that he will not disclose because he claims town do not need to know that information.

Wryly
Are you even more retarded than I am somehow? Pie is confirmed town.


He said "unless someone has a good argument that I am scum, Wryly is scum, or Pie is scum." He wasn't FOSing Pie himself.

Wryly

For the most part I'm just tired of thinking about this. This whole guild mechanic has made me feel like I'm screwing over one of my own by scumhunting. It sucks.

Wryly

Fwiw, I do recall Helz at one point saying "wait, so I could have used my ability at any time? I may have been dumb for accepting the invite."
