Not really, I couldn’t figure out a way to do so without being too obvious. Also because of the godfather false-read issue, I couldn’t be too convinced of anyone’s towniness. What I did instead was to avoid calling anyone “scum” or “scummy” even when I voted them (to avoid false reads after my death)- I used terms like “less town-like”, “anti-town” instead of “scummy”.
I chose USC as my first choice as in Screamers I’d expressed my opinion that he was town on multiple occasions so I thought I’d be able to do the same here but never had the opportunity. All I did was say “I believe USC” after his claim with no further comment.
On Day 3 when looking for somewhere to place my vote after FS’s claim and Tom was among the candidates, I said that I thought the case against him was “non-existent”.
I questioned Peeker on why he thought MHaye had blocked him when he’d expressed an intention to kill Red but his reply didn’t invite a “I think MHaye might be town” comment.
Today I was responding to your vote on me and was going to mention my thouhts on your towniness (as the reason why I wasn’t going to OMGUS vote you)but then decided to claim instead.
If Tom is lynched toDay, I’ll still have just 3 useful reads tomorrow and that would require my survival tonight, After the question to Story this morning - I think the first and only time I mentioned “cop” - I thought I may have exposed myself and, given his reasoning that Zeriel could have been the Cop due to his early vote, I felt they could draw the same conclusion about me…
Town Cop:
Win Condition: You win when all Scum and the SK are dead.
Power: Each Night, you may PM us the name of one player to investigate. Unless you are blocked, at the start of the following Day, if you survive, you will be told the alignment (i.e., Town or Scum or Neither) of the player you chose to investigate. The exception is that if you investigate the Alpha Scum, you will be told that player is “Town”
I have no idea what to think now. I thought Guiri was Town before, so I’m going to take the claim at face value, for now, with a reevaluation if Tom turns up Scum.
That having been said, I’m not sure if I should unvote Tom here. I really do think he’s Scum, but with the Town result, he could only be the Godfather if Guiri is telling the truth. Of course, if he’s NOT telling the truth, he’s doing it to protect a high-profile Scum role, so we have two-for-one. If Tom is Town, I don’t see any reason why Guiri would be lying.
That having said, there’s NO WAY the Scum keeps Guiri alive overnight if he’s telling the truth, so I suppose the question of whether he’s telling the truth will be answered soon enough, without risking killing a potentially confirmed Town to do it.
I’m pretty certain Guiri’s claim is genuine, I can’t see it as being workable if he is scum. He would either get counter-claimed, or die after we lynch Nanook if he is the real cop.
The late claim has put us in a bit of a hole, but that’s town’s fault (including mine) for getting our votes down late yet again. The swing to Tom happened while I was typing up my big post today.
@Peeker - I don’t think your singleton vote on MHaye is achieving much. The clock is ticking, and we may have to think about tactical votes to avoid a Tom lynch. For me, Tom’s play is not consistant with a godfather.
I’ll be around for a couple more hours, but will miss the end of the day.
Sorry, I thought it made sense. My choice of investigation from Day 1 was USC, I PMed the Mods on Night 1 and got a result on Day 2 - Town.
Day 2 I decided to choose Tom, PMed the Mods on Night 2…
Day 3 I decided to choose MHaye…
Day 4 I…
Maybe I could have said “Night 1” or even “Day 2” for my result on USC and so on, sorry. My first result is now useless as USC was killed and so I can only communicate 3 useful results. If I hadn’t claimed andTom got lynched tonight and I managed to survive a NK and was not blocked, I’d still only have 3 useful results (MHaye, Alka and whoever I chose for tonight) and so I decided to claim now.
Nanook has to die sometime, and we only have about 4 hours to get 6 votes on someone. That won’t happen unless enough people log in and vote for the same person. There is a 1 in 7 chance that he is the town roleblocker (Tom and MHaye have claimed vanilla), and a 3 in 10 chance that he is scum.
