If it was Rex and Luna, Thoth wouldn't have tracked Rex visiting Luna. Why would scum visit scum. Is that a thing?


If it was Rex and Thoth, Thoth would never have VTL'd Rex in DP1. Bussing seems unlikely, he could easily have just gone inactive like he did for the Mikal lynch.


If it was Rex and Magic, Rex wouldn't be VTLing Magic right now.


If it was Thoth and Luna, Thoth wouldn't have shown up in Luna's fake POE dream. Why POE a scummate.


If it was Luna and Magic, Rex would be dead.


I'm looking at Thoth and Magic.

If you the doctor, I'd hope it "makes sense to you".

This post really rubs me the wrong way based on its phrasing, sounds like a scum slip lol


It makes sense to me that Pie included a doctor in the game since the other protective roles can also be liabilities.


I am not sure how many noob passes to keep giving you


17.


Thats literally my justification. If you don't like it take it up with pie in the endgame.


I could be barking up the wrong tree here like I was when I thought that campfire character didn't fit with a poison healer in Magic's game.

So Rex wasn't risking blocking a second vision of yours by targeting you. Though it's unclear if he knew that or not.


At this point I can't be sure Thoth is a tracker at all. If his scummate was Magic then his first track results could be fabricated. And this DP he tracked someone who had already posted his movements. Claiming tracker would be a great way to try to tempt me to target him. I almost did.

Wryly

Wha--? So he can get two visions? And no one asked him if it was 1 or 2x??


I thought for sure dreamer only ever got 1 because 2 seemed OP'd.

Super busy today will post when I get home. Wondering why scum targeted RT (or whatever tf hes called now) when there were more threatening roles on the board

Tell me more about your character's role justification. It doesn't click with me.


Justification is about how it is my dream to rule the kingdom and how he pursues this dream even after taking a defeat by regrouping in the mountains of rain and night.


You might as well make Sauron a dreamer because he wanted to conquer Middle Earth and didn't give up after he was defeated by Elendil and Gil-galad on the slopes of Mount Doom. You might as well make Voldemort a dreamer because he sought dominance over the wizarding world and didn't give up after the curse backfired at Godric's Hollow and he lost corporeal form.

Erak Starfollower. hm. Warrior, navigator, Viking-slaver-turned-good-guy. And "everything and nothing?" What, a JOAT? Just don't know enough about roles to guess.

Wryly

Well scum has steamrolled town this game, so well done scum.


I protected Magic. Knew either Luna or Thoth was scum. Figured if it was Thoth, they wouldn't NK either me or Luna. That left Rex, RT, and Magic to choose from. Didn't trust Rex. RT's role didn't seem super crucial. Gambled on Magic. Figured 50/50 he was scum but what the hell. If he wasn't he'd be a sure target with all that "I can save it for us DP3" rhetoric. Risky move not claiming until DP3 when everyone else had, and something about the way he went full steam at Mikal DP1 just struck me as unscummy.


So now I know it's either Rex and Luna or Thoth and Magic. Magic, if you're scum, you played well and we who are about to die salute you.

I've been reading Thoth as pretty town so far but I honestly forgot about JOATs. Not a bad point. But I feel like I just have no reason to scumread him at all. His behavior has read townie, his track of Magic is (kind of?) confirmed, and he wasn't on the Mikal bandwagon.


The imbalance argument is meh. Rex's role is barely investigative. As for "there are three protective roles", Rex's power could only stop a kill if it was delivered via power, like poisoner or something, and he'd die in the process. That's pretty weak. Mikal could only stop an NK if he baited scum, and he could also cost town two kills for the price of one. Having a doctor this game makes sense to me.


I'll also argue I only "went with the flow" for the Mikal vote, which you also "went with the flow" on.


You've been kind of all over the place. First going at the dreamer, now going at the only other person in the three with a vote already there. I've said before you were behaviorally null to me and only your role was sus. Now I'm more confident in a vote.

So if Rex had targeted scum NP1 he'd be dead and we'd have no idea who he targeted or what scum power got blocked. Still seems... suboptimal.

Also my trip is off to kind of a shitty start. I just got sick and threw up out of nowhere. 🙃


Oof, that sucks. I hate getting sick on a trip I was looking forward to. Well, on any trip really. The least the universe can do is let you be sick in your own toilet.
