Why would an OG scum Kohai CC a townie and full claim out of the blue?

There is zero reason to do that.

I tracked Kohai NP1 and he visited no one. Very much doubt he's the OG. Recruit or townie.

I'll be posting my reads on everyone later. For now I'm brooding on why Vader was lynched instead of me. I can think of only a few reasons.

They wanted to gin up suspicion around why I was still alive

They wanted to keep the least experienced player in the game

They wanted to exploit my tracking somehow to farm town cred

The only world where I see Mikal still being scum is if he's the recruit and used his night action on me to farm town cred. I don't think that's what happened, but it is a possibility.

Vader being NK'd instead of me is troubling.

Since Kohai is a non-option in all this I'll need to do isos on Pie and whiteflame tomorrow. For now, I'm tired.

Why do you think whiteflame is the OG and not Pie?

Flavor character - I doubt Casey would out their partner like that in their role PM.

Hmm. She'd have no choice if she wanted to convert someone. But would Lunatic implicate the other scum in the description knowing Yakuza would flip early? I'm thinking probably not.

That would leave whiteflame as the fake claimer and makes me wonder if he reported the Informant dump faithfully.

1) Why did you choose Mikal?

2) Why does that town confirm him?

1) It was a toss-up between tracking you, whiteflame, or Mikal, and I just went with my gut. I always questioned if Mikal was making up the accidental hammering in DP1 because he saw the opportunity to blame it on Kohai's scorekeeping.

2) Confirms his story above. I suppose there's a scenario where he was scum and visited me, but what power did he use on me if so? I received no notification of anything except that he visited me.

Why do you think whiteflame is the OG and not Pie?

Good question about why Vader. I figured I'd be NK'd by now. No idea why they'd off a townie whose power was spent over an active investigator.

This town confirms you for me. Of the three remaining, I sus Kohai the least, and we couldn't lynch him this DP even if I did.

So, whiteflame and Pie.

I tracked Mikal and was told he visited me.

Well never mind

I'll be home in like an hour

Why the right hell would Rex think up a role like this as scum, it sounds like horse shit

So he's required to visit someone he correctly predicts to be in the game even though his visit doesnt actually do anything?

These arguments concerning Pie don't seem entirely damning. Pie is as likely to be innocent as guilty, then.

I would hate to see us lose yet another townie due to a PM communication fumble. At present I just dont see a better candidate than Rex.

I'm not gonna be able to figure out who the recruit is this DP -- they'd just claim their original role and character -- so the only shot is to figure out who the OG scum was. They're the only ones who might be fake claiming at least their role, maybe their role and character.

Again, Rex looks best for that, but I'm just not happy that he's so universally FOS'd. Either someone is bussing or we're barking up the wrong tree.

You can ask him if a role exists? I thought you were a character cop.

Visit them and do what?

Why is he not original scum

How exactly are you saying your role works? You visit a player and it returns their character name and description, that simple? Why would you say your role has utility now but not next NP, when you can actually use it?

I dont have time to read through all these pages

Why are you sussing Pie?

Won't have much time today until I'm home at 5-ish (4 CST) which is around the deadline. 🫩

Rex seems sus af but I'm raising an eyebrow that our 3 likeliest recruit candidates are happy to FOS him.

Would Lunatic really put that Informant clue and a Character Cop in this game?

This has been a pretty frustrating game for me so far. DP1 was a flash in the pan, 16 pages of DP2 haven't yielded as much progress as it should have, real life has left me much less time to process a much more quickly developing game than the last one, the Yakuza flip shat in my cereal and cost me a whole DP of data, and I'm inexperienced at reading behavior.

scattered thoughts:

1. Obviously the resistance of full claiming and the role description fumble look pretty sus for Rex
2. hard to see Mikal being scum but still saying Pie should've received that noti, unless they're both scum, he knew Pie had a passive role, he was planning to claim he was interfered with, or he's the recruit, meaning he really did send the night action to Pie
3. whiteflame is high on my list of who I would've chosen to convert as scum. He could have just presented the information from Vader accurately for town cred. behavior seems townie but I doubt I'll get useful behavior reads on experienced players, so I really hate how behavior-oriented this game is
4. some of these are pretty major characters and risky to fake claim in a game where scum were given no fake claims. Ellen Ripley especially. but this is a game where straightclaiming character and fakeclaiming role seems like a viable strategy, making Rex's power seem more questionable

Kohai

Mikal

Vader

Pie

whiteflame

Rex

Waking up from my blackout nap like Victor from Underworld when they uncasked him a century early. Catching up.

I had a long day and I'm too burnt out to follow this and look up all the roles I don't know. I'mma take a nap and do a late night catch up.

Wendy proved adept at monitoring and tracking her brother after he was sent into danger at the crash site of the USCSS Maginot. Thus I am the Tracker.

NP1 I tracked Kohai. I had lingering questions about the “two Xenomorphs” thing and I needed to know if the Vengeful role was true as it seemed hella swingy. Kohai visited no one, consistent with Vengeful. Then I read DP2 and realized it didn't matter because he could be scum now anyway. My results only really contraindicate that he was the original scum, unless he waived his power or had a passive scum role (if that's even a thing).

I'll be home in 30 min

I will have minimal time until this evening

Depends on the next 24 hours. I don't have a lot to go on for a lynch yet.

Hang seems better than eliminate. Distinguishes what town does from what scum does a bit better.
