    I do think you're right though, because that paragraph was a huge leap of speculation based on absolutely nothing in the thread on Slaan's part, which just doesn't make sense at all unless you have information everyone else isn't privy too.
    Here's the scenario I see.

    D2, Logic just got hung and GH looks bad and Zack looks bad. He'd already laid the ground work on day one and all the way into day 2 about him possibly having a vig shot. He suggested that shot was on choxorn, who had voted logic and also had GH and Zack as scummy at various times.

    At that point, choxorn becomes super valuable to mislynch, before Gh and Zack flip.

    After they flip, he's much less gettable. So, they'd need to do this on day 2, or on day 3. It also becomes much less plausible after that, because if he claims to have shot choxorn and nothing happened, why'd he wait so long to say so?

    So it basically only ever happens on day 2 or day 3.

    Meanwhile, he says Zack is town but GH is not.

    Then, he and zack and gh decide whether to pull the gambit or not. Thus the stalling most of the day.

    They see the writing on the wall as the wagon gets bigger and everyone finds him scummy.

    At that point, the danger is if Slaan pulls this claim out, it's gonna look like he's deliberately trying to save GH. The moment has passed.

    He could try it again on Day 3, mayyyybe.

    That night, Zack dies. It's too late. The plan cannot work now.

    Strongman that flipped means we have a town doctor, and he can only speculate on a third kill in his crumb post, with 2 missing kills in a single night, if he knows there was a missing kill. He has to be a town vig or a scum vig.

    We have to have a town doctor, otherwise the strongman makes absolutely no sense. It's going to be used against a gifted 1 shot doc, that's overkill. It makes the gift giver even weaker and it's already generally a weak role.

    Its value is mostly in confirming itself as an existing role.

    I have +50 posts to catch up with, but choxie schmoxie was the counterwaggon proposed by GH and also Zack and I did point it out. I don't think either of us is mafia.

    OK, in a fit of townie-itis I've collected all the EOD tallies and colour-coded them for your convenience, as the TropeCo catalogue recommends. The interlocking claims of choxie schmoxie, pizzaman the cheesy poster and Dp101 make them all-but-town i.e. unbolded blue; bolded blue are people I know are town because the GM has said so.

    Now that I think about it, I don't remember any restrictions on self-protection either, so maybe I just assumed that because that's how I'm used to doctor roles working.

    Doctors can self protect on some sites I've been to. But on most, it's assumed that they cannot, or it's even written into the role that they can't.

    Good morning and holy crap is Pizza going off the deep end... let me tell you why his case is (sorry for the language) moronic....

    1) He assumes I'm mafia vig, why tf would the mafia vig build up to fake claiming the town vig? Like why. It draws attention and questions when weird, non consensus night kills happen and as mafia vig I want non consensus night kills.... why would I ever bread crumb this? I could maybe understand the argument for another mafia to breadcrumb instead of the actual vig or smth but this ???. Maybe its possible a lategame move towards lylo or smth but D1?
    2) My 'theory of 3 shots' wasnt a theory of 3 shots. It was me saying 'we apparently don't have a vig as a vig would've vigged Chox'.. at least that's what I thought. I then, it was late-ish in D2, went wondering about PR's in general... I remembered Sooh saying there'd be 'some PR's' in this game so I wondered what the could be. We saw the first day and first night pass and nothing unusual happen... ok a strongman flipped which also meant a doc around most likely but that's about it? A vig being somewhere made sense to me... so I blindly speculated. Why would I speculate as fucking mafia this way? This perfect information syndrom bs is just that, bs. I literally just finished in a huge experimental game 'Orchestrated Chaos' where I as mafia had tons of informations that V's didnt have and I didnt spill a thing over the almost 3 weeks this game went on (knew of like 70% of all abilities from the get go) and now I sit here and TMI such a basic thing? I'm actually considering this to be insulting on some level...
    3) Why the would I ever vig Winston of all ppl in N1? I didnt have a read on him at all at this point, I would've killed off one of my townreads so I could develop Winston however I saw fit. Why kill of a null from my pile instead of Kage of dp? Makes no sense
    4) What the did I do other than that? So I'm a vig... ok. Not a regular vig, no additional kills N2 or N3. Odd night vig? But then I'd have to have vigged myself last night... that doesnt quite seem likely. One shot vig? Then why _THE _ would I vig in N1? I was in zero danger, I was part of the town core. Keep it holstered, play the game quietly etc etc... you know, what I'd have done if I was actual part of mafia. Why waste it N1 on Winston?

    This entire case is Pizza getting unsecure because Manasi didnt work out, getting called out for it and now and needing to find someone he misread previously to push today to cement his hero image... which will only take a deeper dive after he mislynched me over this bs case.

    It has had its ups though, Monty is now secured in my town pile. He stood up for me early and asked the correct questions, as mafia he could've just been happy pizza threw out one of his cores... (though his vote on me in the end doesnt look too good.. why make that if he wants to reconsider.......... >_>)

    Anyway, I also believe Chox claim.. at least until there is a counter claim and if that doesnt come forth today he is locked... or the actual gift giver is an idiot. I doubt the second possiblity though, Chox was in no immediate danger so yea. Just one question @Choxorn : What did you do N1?

    With all those infos let us recheck all players:

    2. Csargo - PoE, dont see why not
    3. Dp101 - lock town still, spewed hard town imo
    4. Pizza - misguided town or some weird 3p which I don't see us ever defeating so w/e. After him going after me like this I was wondering if he could ever be mafia but he was too obsessed the entire game... mafia tends to not be obsessed but calculating and he wasnt.
    5. Fredwood - PoE, but need to read further than page 30
    6. El Barto - ... guess PoE after all the backlash I got from my townreading him, will be reviewed with my rereading.
    7. Montmorency - lock town after everything imo. Spew quite good and him defending me looks good as well.
    9. Cuthillius - PoE, don't see why not at this point
    11. Slaan - super sith lord mafia vig
    13. Choxorn - lock town
    16. Xiahou - I'm SERIOUSLY gonig to be me if Xiahou ends up being the last scum. That would be bm as fuck essentially not playing at this point as scum.

    So yea, enjoy that post. Sorry if I was getting a bit mean at times... I don't mind being scumread over stuff generally but if someone calls me out for essentially mechanical mistakes I just can't help myself. I would never even start such a weird long term strategy as mafia.. because why? Just get townread and ride it out...? Why risk ppl asking 'why are you still alive after claiming vig' or whatever bs.. it makes. no. sense. And that annoys me, that pizza still put on his helmet and went full force... because his case only makes sense if he considers me an imbecil at mafia and I'm not. Check the MU award nomination thread where I was nominated for my Orchestrated Chaos mafia play.....

    Don't know what else I could do. If you mislynch me I'll haunt you from the graveyard and root for the last mafia ;)

    This makes less sense then Pizza's post.

    Luckily there's some things that are bad regardless of the "did he crumb or didn't he crumb" debate which even my pea brain can comprehend.

    First Winston was a universal Town Read Day 1, even by you.

    I'll head to bed as well, so in case me gets ripped let me give you my current list:

    Fred
    Monty, Csargo, Barto, Reinoe, Zack, Cuth, Xiahou
    GH, Manasi
    Chox

    The big middle pack I'll need to sort out and have no strong feelings about one way or the other. I'm totally fine with pizzas points on Winston and kage/dp were looking good regardless (I got a bit sus of dp after his CFD comment but after Logic flipped mafia that looks very good for him).

    The scummy points towards GH and Chox havent changed, I'm looking forward to hear from GH today. Manasi is just not playing like I'm used to, she is normally very chatty and active and here it's just ... well not much which pings me scummy.

    Alright, gn8 all :)


    That was 3 hours before Day 2 opened. Post #1224 So I know there's some short term memory loss that you just forget everything that happened in the thread while you're re-reading, but you should remember that you had him lock cleared before his flip. Then again, Maybe not

    You're lock clearing Monty now (don't get used to it Monty he'll cruelly retract the lock clear status in a day or two

Monty was in everyone's "seems like he's trying but we can't give him full credit" pile, I could check but I think you're the first to claim that he was spewed clear. Seems like you missed his vote and are still trying to appease him and his work ethic.

    I mean the only other explanation other then scum is that you use the words spew and lock town entirely too much.

    If you need to counterclaim a vig, or to claim you had a one shot vig and tried to vig someone, is leaving something visible in the thread. Otherwise when you claim, you don't have anything visible in your posts all game long to support it. Much like when scums claim cop in cop games, their posts have to match their eventual claim in a believable way. One can't for example say that X is scummy and then later claim that they cop checked them and found them to be innocent. The story doesn't match.

    If you ever claim vig, for counterclaim or simply claiming-to-cause-mislynch purposes, having something that matches the story is the only way it is bought.

    The play is only good for one lynch, just like counterclaiming a cop. Once a flip happens, the jig is up.

    A vig is no different in that regard. It has the exact same claim utility. How often do you play with vigs? You've never seen someone fake claim vig? You even said you were faking crumbing a vig here, so obviously you've seen people fake vig claims before.

    Acting surprised that someone would use it as a strategy as an actual vig, is not just iffy, it's unbelievable.

    2) My 'theory of 3 shots' wasnt a theory of 3 shots. It was me saying 'we apparently don't have a vig as a vig would've vigged Chox'.. at least that's what I thought.
    Lets go back to what you wrote in black and white.

    Quote Originally Posted by Slaan View Post

(my homeboard only uses the same boring roles over and over and they don't seem likely)... don't speculate on this, don't think it helps town... just things I wonder.
    You were saying, by context, either you believed that town didn't have a vig, or they would have vigged choxorn.

    What's missing then is the leap between that concept, and the idea that the mafia had a vigilante shot against Winston Hughes and a mafia team kill against Askthepizzaguy on the same night, in the exact same post, in the next sentence.

    Let's pretend both kills succeeded and were visible, which is also a leap since there was only one kill attempt that we know of.

    Even so, why would you not immediately assume one of the kills was a really misguided town vigilante who one of Winston or Pizza had been accusing, or they had put us down as scum and decided to yolo it.

    Why is that not the more logical theory than immediately leaping to, town has no vigilante but the mafia has two kills?


    3) Why the would I ever vig Winston of all ppl in N1? I didnt have a read on him at all at this point, I would've killed off one of my townreads so I could develop Winston however I saw fit. Why kill of a null from my pile instead of Kage of dp? Makes no sense
    At no point was I ever suggesting you were really a town vigilante here. You hard claimed not being one, I asked you directly.

    Why you'd vig him is if he's not on your team.

    4) What the did I do other than that? So I'm a vig... ok. Not a regular vig, no additional kills N2 or N3. Odd night vig? But then I'd have to have vigged myself last night... that doesnt quite seem likely. One shot vig? Then why _THE _ would I vig in N1? I was in zero danger, I was part of the town core. Keep it holstered, play the game quietly etc etc... you know, what I'd have done if I was actual part of mafia. Why waste it N1 on Winston?
    Aside from the stuff about what you'd have been doing as a town vig, which I am not saying you were doing.

    I don't know what could have happened on night two. Full night vig would have to hit doctor protection on N1 and N2 both times.

    It's plausible that once a vig is the solo scum they cannot keep a second kill, but I don't know about that for sure. I've seen them be able to have team kills before in mashes, just don't know if such mechanics would apply to a small game. Doubtful even.

    A one extra shot vig or an odd night vig are the only other plausible explanations for the scum team. You wouldn't need to claim many shots, and it's even possible for there to be multiple vigs in a game and not be scum if they have limitations (i.e. one shot from an inventor, one sometimes shot but not every night shot from a different role). You also know in this setup there's a strongman if you're scum, therefore missing kills can be explained by doctor protections as I said.

    With the idea of limited shots in play and plausible reasons why they'd go missing, the claim is much easier to make for a scumbag. Then you could claim a shot on someone and say it did not cause a death and suspect them for it, and later, you can explain the missing night of a kill, and then visibly kill on the night thereafter to prove you have the power, and it isn't immediately outing if it's odd night. Or, you could completely claim to be a one-shot vig even if you had an odd night. The point is, you have options.

    Putting shots into both Winston and Pizza on night 1 guarantees one of us dies, somewhat checks if we're bulletproof, or confirms we're being doctor protected. There was never going to be a more useful time to shoot twice, even if you only had a single shot to play with.

    So yea, enjoy that post. Sorry if I was getting a bit mean at times...
    I don't call people morons for wrong guesses and I don't appreciate being called one.

    You told me all game long that this play from you was part of your own scum meta. You'll have to forgive me at some point for believing it, when you posted about choosing people who would make a good final 5 lynchee, anticipating a lot of failure between now and then, and claiming a never-seen mafia vig in addition to a mafia team kill, while also admitting to crumbing that you might have been a vig earlier this round before you confirmed you were not one.

    If I am not allowed to have legitimate suspicion on you after that, I shouldn't be playing this game. Frankly none of us should be.

    That's all I have to say on that. I prefer these games stay civil, joking, the interplay between us meant to elicit entertaining reactions, not hurt feelings. If I've offended you by accusing you wrongly then it was not my intention.

    I don't give a single fig about these games. I care about them to an extent as a hobby I enjoy a LOT, but if it results in people getting personally offended or upset in real life, it's not a game to me anymore.

    After the game, my intention is that Slaan and Askthepizzaguy can still like each other. If I've failed on that then the game doesn't matter to me.

    But I have to be allowed to be wrong or I cannot be allowed to play.

    Also this post wasnt checked for grammar or spelling or any other errors (not that it matters, my english has been shite here so far... once said 'just've' instead of 'should've' <_<) so sorry for anything that slipped through.
