you should be lynched. you are the least confirmed vanilla.
adel: are you trying to be annoying? i don't link. i think i may have tried it once or twice, but its not how i roll.
vote: ddd
good call. but its not irrational. lynching me hurts our chances of winning. read internal struggle for reference. there is zero evidence of sk.
Under my plan if I was scum, I still have to kill either muh or JVW and can't touch confirmed town Adel. Which sends us to LYLO with me pointing a finger at the other person with confirmed town Adel deciding things for us. This is the exact same scenario that muh-scum and JVW-scum would face. It is not an auto-win for anyone.
Adel can't be a mafia ninja because there is no modifier for that effect listed among the modular roles.
There are three players who are unconfirmed as town/mafia and you who is unconfirmed as town/SK. The fact that I'm vanilla is irrelevant as you are according to you, merely bulletproof and JVW's alleged ability is basically useless now because of the confirmation of Adel. The only people we can't afford to lynch are Adel (town) and muh (to protect Adel).
no. you are trying to get rid of town's only investigative role. thats what makes you the final scum.
adel: my vig kill was irrelevant at the time. the claim was a gambit. i got the idea when i played a game as a serial killer on the MDV forums. i was against a large town and a two man scum team. in what was effectively lylo i claimed sk and drew out the two scum. unfortunately, town wasn't smart enough to bargain and lynched me to lose(several first time players). it occurred to me that i could lay low, but i do tend to get myself in some sticky situations, and rather than claim at L-1 that i was bulletproof i decided to claim outright and in the process hopefully out scum. which i did.
muh and jvw: if you are both town then you should realize what ddd is trying to set up here. he is trying to remove town's only investigative role. the probability of jvw being scum is extremely low given the claims and flips. ddd knows that he is the key to our success and is riding adel's paranoia to set up an extremely winnable endgame for scum.

he can watch the guy who still has a bulletproof vest to confirm that he is town. he can watch the doc to make sure the doc is protecting him and not murdering someone else.

No, he can confirm that the guy with the bulletproof vest isn't targeting anyone that night. The possibility that you are a bulletproof SK who held fire still exists and as a bulletproof SK making a 1/1/1 LYLO basically means you win, which doesn't look good for how you're pushing so hard here.
And he cannot make sure the doc is doing anything, he can only target the doc and make sure the doc is targeting someone. The motion detector knows nothing about alignment, ability or target, just that player1 is targeting someone else with an ability.

and so we're not going to address the possibility of investigation modifiers? interesting focus.

he can make sure the doc is doing what he's supposed to do and not murdering anyone. but this is not what you state the motion detector does. please clarify this.
either jvw has a role similar to "tracker" or not. if he can only see power roles, then it makes perfect sense for the guy who claimed vanilla to want him dead.
don_johnson wrote:maybe i am misunderstanding the role. rereading sample pm:
so, if jvw's target does not target a power role, then the result is "no motion"?
if that's the case, then adel is so far from confirmed that its not even funny.
semioldguy was killed, right? he was vanilla, right? so if adel killed him and jvw watched, this would return a result of "no motion", right?
so ddd saying that adel is "confirmed" is tremendously untrue, right?
so the guy trying to rid the town of a "useless" town power role to save a "confirmed" townie for lylo is claiming "vanilla". rrriiigghhht...
vote stays. what are your thoughts on that adel?
God damn, you're dumber than a box of hammers, Don. This was just covered. I explained why this is the wrong interpretation in 565 and the mod confirmed it 568.

So your theory is that we just had a mass claim and that optimal strategy is to assume that a pro-town player lied about their claim giving incomplete information. I revise my previous statement from box of hammers to bag of rocks. Or are you still assuming that Adel is a "mafia ninja" when that modifier doesn't exist in this game, per the semi-open setup. I revise bag of rocks to gallon of milk.

He does not have a role similar to a tracker, JVW's alleged role shows ONLY if players1 uses ability x to target player2, it does not tell JVW what the ability was, it does not tell him who he targeted it only says "Yes - player 1 targets someone with something" or "No - player 1 did not target anyone".
1. why didn't you claim your kill when you claim bullet proof?
2. why did you kill Liam instead of me right after you breadcrumbed killing me if ABR was town?

3. If you thought that Liam was guilty why didn't you ever vote for him?
4. why did you forget to claim that you have an Investigation Modifier?
5. If you thought liam was scummy, why didn't you ever voice suspicions of him in this thread?
The setup was actually two scum and a cult mentor and then cult mentee.
We actually had a scenario vaguely like this in terms of concept. We were in a four person MYLO with Don with Don having a cop innocent on him. However, there was still a slim possibility that Don was a mafia godfather so we still no lynched over Don's strenous objections because it's bad policy to attempt to outguess the mod, Don was NKed and we (the town) won the game. Here we sit with the possibility that Don is a bulletproof SK and even though it might actually be likelier that he is a vig, it doesn't make sense to outguess the mod as to whether or not Don is a vig or SK, we should eliminate the possibility that he's an SK that can auto-win in LYLO by lynching him, simplify the game and get a confirmed townie (as far as I can tell) to LYLO.

DDD and DJ, why do you think that ABR replaced out so quickly in mini 845 (which both of you were in) compared to how long he took to replace out of this game?

why don't you think that he might be mafia?
Because it seems pretty ludicrous for mafia to claim a kill like that, given that a vig counter-claim basically guarantees them a loss. And even if there is no counterclaim they still have to deal with suspicion of being an SK. It basically makes no sense for scum to go down that road even for a gallon of milk like Don.
