It makes sense to me. First the detective claimed he investigates story, then the Day vig goes after Story as a result of the investigation. It wasn’t like an independent thing or anything, AFAICT.
Ok that checks then. Frankly, I left out of my Apartment after I posted, asking about the bomb. Over lunch, I was thinking about the game, and the fact that we had two people hit on Story. Not remembering the timing on the events, I lumped them together, and I was curious about it, and wanted to ask the game when I go back to it.
Also, I entertained posting it as further evidence of how I think about mafia. … Just, if the timing was, if both people did a night action, independent of each other, but both on Story, it would be a lot different in my opinion.
Even then it wouldn’t have been that surprising. Story is the type of player that attracts a lot of attention, regardless of what faction he is playing in any given game. He has a reputation and that draws fire.
Why do you feel someone is holding back Meeko? What information do you think is not being shared?
So that’s why Storyteller understands me… we play nearly the same. :eek:
I frankly wonder, if all of those people who have claimed, if they are all legit town. I mean, I bet that some of those who claimed, are the third faction. Frankly.
How exactly, did we end up with so many people claiming, so soon?? And then, on top of that, bagging a scum so early?! Are we balanced back out here in terms of claims and then getting a scum?
The speed with this game is … I am not used to it.

I PM’d Mahaloth.
I am forbidden to discuss my answer.
NETA: His answer.
That’s…really odd.
How is it odd?
Speculation: 1 Third Party/PFK, 3 Crimson Thorn roles up for grab. (18 players; 6 are likely to have non-Town alignment.)
I am not dismissing the likelihood that a claimed role may not be truthful. Nor am I dismissing the possibility that a Crimson Thorn might vote on Storyteller.
By outing Storyteller (and him confirming his role), CT can vote to lynch and appear pro-Town. It’s a safe vote for them.
Also by Storyteller being outed, there may be a sense from Town that our work Today is done. That is a very foolish idea. There are still CT out there, and they must be found.
And it is very likely that one of the Town claimed power roles will not be here toMorrow. I have the feeling, nothing substantial, just a feeling, that there will be blood toNight. A lot of blood.
A pattern emerges.
Mahaloth is trying to make us work these things out for ourselves.
The fiend.
I meant reckless I that you indicated you wanted to hear from JoeyP first and there was lots of time left in the Day to wait for that.
But you’re right that if you were the Night kill target, then scum would have been pretty sure you are the doctor as they wasn’t really a reason for another doctor to protect you.
But there are other possible explanations for the no kill (Oredigger block, NAF protected or scum didn’t kill/did something else).
An argument why a scum JoeyP wouldn’t do the kill which I forgot is the claimed role blocker: since he was suspect he would be a likely block target increasing the chance he would fail the kill.
Scum targeting NAF isn’t unlikely since he claims tracker plus other options.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to have it come out so snippy. The question I asked here: Is the Dawn/Dusk color just fluff or not? But I guess the no answer means no comment.
The other one was a question from NAF, but I see why you won’t answer that one.
Either you got told that you know when you fail, in which case the restriction seems pointless and easily subvertered (“I investigate Mahaloth as scum, but I broke my shoelace.”). Or you got told you don’t know when you fail (or didn’t get any answer), which means we’re back with our worst-case assumption that any investigation you do has a 25% chance to be wrong. And since it worst-case, thus our current one, no point in restricting telling us that.
Also you did quote other PMs, so the restriction seems arbitrary (which NAF claims to be also the victim of).
So your PM which told you to be careful twice isn’t substantial?
Shutting down conversation is a very good thing for Scum: the only benefit for them of a detective outting them is that there’s an additional Day of insubstansive conversation. I can’t see how sacrificing one of their own to do so could possibly be worth it: the sole goal of scum is keeping themselves and their partners alive for as long as possible: a lynch of their own, combined with having lost one of their own last night, puts them back two Days.
My guess is that PMs I send/receive at Night are open for me to share with everybody, but PMs that don’t address a specific investigation are not to be discussed.
It instructed me to be careful, nothing about blood.
I agree. But I want to keep the discussion open that they will not prevent the lynching of an outed player (Story), and by voting to lynch him will give them Town cred. They are going to lose a player regardless, so why not take this opportunity to appear pro-Town?
**So, What if is Story is a PFK?
What if Story is a Third Party?
What if Story is lying about being Scum, hence why he offered it so freely?
What if all of these are going on together? **
NETA:**
What if his PFK ability only works once he gets votes? **
We’ll know all these answers after he dies.
