oh, I just realised I haven't actually voted for tbh², oops :P

 

[tbh²]

But there were "other PRs to be taken care of"! Why does being unclaimed make them less likely to be problematic?

?___? because going after an unclaimed PR gives you a better chance of wasting the night action than going for the claimed vigilante??

So you're saying that you weren't expecting him to take a night action at all? That's another good reason not to roleblock him, I suppose, yes.

lol sure if you want to twist it in that way
that is still a gamble that could potentially result in a wolf loss though

oh, I just realised I haven't actually voted for tbh², oops :P

i know you said earlier that you think w!roleblocker is more dangerous than w!doc or whatever but i don't really know why you're going for that approach in lylo
shouldn't the safest lynch to you be ... the other doctor

 

[tbh²]

if this is a direct counterclaim i think it makes the most sense to split votes between mawile/koko unless i'm missing something
-m

 

[tbh²]

tbh nor do i think mafia doctor makes sense in this setup where vig can die pretty easily

alrighty, i have a brief moment of better-than-crap signal, so time to make a post!

koko is telling the truth about being Mable, and this is part of why i was being so coy about the whole thing: e was my n0 check and i was sitting on the info for a while, but after seeing mawile’s claim, my surface-level skim of the character’s flavor made me wonder if koko and mawile had similar yet anti-aligned roles, and i wanted to see how koko would approach eir claim: would w!koko be willing to take the risk of setting up what could be a blatant w/v, or would they take the safe route out and claim something entirely different?

i’m not sure i have the answer to that question just yet, but it does seem like something fishy is going on between koko/mawile: would like to see mawile’s input before i make a vote tho

(also for posterity, n1 mp7=Reese but that doesn’t really help us anymore )

 

[Trebek]

i should add an addendum to my post above that i don’t actually know if koko is telling the truth about eir role’s power: it just seemed to check out Vibe wise?

 

[Trebek]

idk AC flavor but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Mawile]

I'm Mable (the sister of Sable and Label, for the non-AC-playing philistines), and just like Mawile's, my role flavour describes how sewing is a remarkably similar pastime to the practice of medicine, making me a qualified Doctor.

(The odd link between "sewing" and "doctor", by the way, is why I briefly considered asking raritini yesterDay about the link between her pastime and her role, to see if it was also a kinda dubious connection for her.)

i mean, i don't think it's super dubious. youtube videos are very useful in learning stitches to sew people up if you already know how to sew!

Town Jailer/Bodyguard + Town Doctor in an setup originally designed for 11 people is a bit of a stretch

true! especially if mafia doesn't have a lot of killpower + our vig dies if he shoots town, means that there isn't a whole lot of killpower to be protecting against

also it feels weird to me to have both a town jailer + town roleblocker? like there's only so many mafia roles to be blocked, it would essentially be detrimental to town to have both of them since they would have a higher chance of choosing town to block

i guess what i'm saying is that maybe my current scumteam guess is [someone]/tbh^2/koko?

Another doctor on top of that is not. I do believe that Mawile is a doctor, because of the flavour, but there's no way he's town-aligned.

:( but i suppose from my perspective, you're also a doctor but you're not town-aligned, haha

kokorico pending mawile response

so mp7/vf lovers, trebek rolecop, tbh roleblocker, emmy miller, mawile doc, koko doc, rsp announcer, jack vig, bbt ?, mist ?, seshas ?

[tbh²]

idk why there's rb + jailer either, but maybe it's a balance because the jailer is healing power (and lessened in impact because herbe seems to have altered it such that the jailer isn't identified to their target anymore)

-m

 

[Trebek]

although we should keep in mind that according to blu’s claim, his jailer didn’t actually have any healing power: it would just divert the kill to himself

but it would also divert a heal to himself so hmmm

 

[tbh²]

his jailer didn’t actually have any healing power: it would just divert the kill to himself

but it would also divert a heal to himself so hmmm

so it's nerfed
that kind of makes sense with the other healing powers then

 

[Trebek]

it’s an interesting nerf bc like
if blu diverted a kill, he would actually be twice as likely to get healed, since doctor could target either blu or the redirectee

 

[tbh²]

mm
trebek who do you think the scumteam is?

 

[Trebek]

(but by that same logic, blu would also be twice as likely to get killed himself, so this version of jailer definitely seems much more power-neutral than usual)

(ok i stop now i just get excited by mechspec)

 

[tbh²]

trebek rolecop

*flavorcop

important distinction especially if koko is w

 

[Trebek]

my loose scumteam PoE atm is

(1 of koko/mawile) (2 of tbh/mist/rsp)

with the caveat that i don’t think koko/tbh w/w makes sense, so tbh might get exempted from my PoE after i think more on it tho

 

[Trebek]

if i had to choose right now, probably mawile/rsp/mist just bc koko’s claim felt towny, but i’m not going to die on the mawile hill
