another thing i'm curious about - qenya, how do you feel about your block not going through, but there not being a kill today? does that have anything to do with/interact with your wanting to vote out herbe at all?
i don't really feel anything about it? if my block didn't go through, clearly it wasn't the reason why there wasn't a nightkill. it has no mech relevance at all afaict. (in fact nobody has claimed anything so far that does, unless you count jack and herbe's nod-nod-wink-wink
which I'd like to hear more about now we have more Daytime, so I'm not sure why we're being all funny about the dubiousness of going off reads)
hmm I was not super comfy outright claiming at first because of the risk of scum retaliating against me, but I think it's much safer now that we have 2 scum dead and only 1 town dead (i.e. realistically only 1/7 of remaining players are probably scum, maybe 2/7 in a high-scum initial setup). I think we're at the point where the odds that I will continue to be useful while quiet are lower than the odds that, by claiming, I will be able to bring useful things to light.
one of my actions is the aforementioned high-appeal no-op, Electroweb. another of my actions, Double Team, allows me (one-shot, and only under certain specific conditions) to override the yeet poll with my own choice. and the other three are plays on the Inventor role trope: each one lets me give out a one-shot power to someone else. Toxic Spikes is a one-shot daykill that can only be used by someone with high Appeal, Sludge Bomb is a one-shot daykill that can only be used by someone with low Appeal, and Infestation is a one-shot bulletproof shield.
each of those three one-shot powers are flavored as "items" that have their own quirky names separate from the move name. the two daykills I will be withholding the names of for reasons you're about to see, and the one I gave Herbe last night was "Bees?!", the bulletproof shield. since Herbe did not die, I wink-winkingly made a bee reference to them early today, which they confirmed they received but was expended, so I feel good about the fact that that was the reason for no death last night. not 100% certain, but good enough.
incidentally, the first night, I gave the one-shot-daykill-for-a-low-Appeal-user item to RNP, who the following day I proceeded to read as scum because I misread the vote shuffling at the end of the day, hence my warning that I feared scum might have access to a daykill. but now it looks like either
mewt of all people has used it (meaning a redirector is afoot)
or there are multiple daykill powers in play.
mewt, can you verify whether this is consistent with your understanding of the situation vis a vis your daykill, and if your daykill was indeed from my power being redirected to you, can you verify what the name of the item was?
