an you explained how it will help the Town? I see the following scenario.
1. You scan Ythan with your non-alignment proven power.
2. If we have a Watcher or Tracker they confirm you did so.
3. You tell us what power Ythan has.
4. If Ythan dies we have to decide if you are the one that killed him.
5. If Ythan doesn’t die we see whether he states you are lying about your ‘scan’
6. ?????
7. Profit.
Seriously how does this help town? It will not tell us if you are Scum or Town since an Ability cop could easily be a power from either side. It potentially outs a Watcher or Tracker for no real benefit. It will not confirm anything but perhaps what Ythan’s power is. And knowing that will not for tell us anything concrete about his alignment.
Are you saying that in no way does this confirm that myself and the watcher are working towards helping the town? I am not good at theories, but I have seen this happen and the watcher ended up seeing mafia make a hit or something similar. I'm pretty sure BV was in that game, and I know I died in the night like I probably will this game, so perhaps he could rectify what happened. I do see that the alignment vs roles makes it a little bit more difficult in terms of confirmation, but we could use roles to out someone. If I check Ythan, and he has a zerg rush ability..... yea. Just sayin'.
24. Hey, random thought secondary to Robo's Furco push. I was reflecting on the plausibility of Tanya being a fakeclaim. But. Sarah Kerrigan is a witch from an RTS. Tanya appears to be a sort of Chaotic Neutral-tier witch from an RTS. So...that aspect does fit.
26. I don't understand Furco's explanation for removing bv and me from the "maybe Sarah Kerrigan" list. Also, please clarify the point of the list to me if I misunderstand it. Also, keep in mind that there was probably a lag between "sent in action" and "RC posted action."
Iecerint, didn't you just travel to Kentucky? Where did you go if so?
I did not fakeclaim, I have not ever fakeclaimed. I've explained not having you or BV on the list. I did not notice your names being active near the ability being used. I did not consider their being a delay, as RC is an active mod. Hope this clears that up

I want him dead.
My votes on him. So We just lynch him? Well, I'll gladly see his body hanging on a rope in this game.
I agree with this line of thinking. I do this all the time. You can use this sort of gut feeling to point yourself in the right direction. Unfortunately, if you are a town player, and fingering another town player, and using this kind of 'logic', scum can agree with you, providing no reason like you, and the town has no way to provide defense to the argument. I know this from experience, as I have pushed wagons based upon my gut as town that have ended up lynching detectives. This is what you are doing. You doing this makes the town ripe for bandwagons. Give some evidence for who you want to kill. Without evidence, you make it too easy for scum to take advantage of your gut. I know you don't like me, and that's fine, but I am not an idiot.
Consider that my gut is screaming that you are mafia. Millar to some degree as well. Unfortunately, if you two are mafia, we're probably fucked. I therefore play as though you are town despite my instinct. Your gut is screaming I am mafia, but I am the detective, and you should consider playing as though I am town despite your instinct.
To go on about those who are 'confirmed' town, MoI also gets a pass in this respect since he has been providing very good posts and his behavior can be held accountable if he has a dropoff in quality. I feel that Iecerint is probably town with me as well. I am not sure about Spyrex, Ythan, Kdub, or Netopalis.
For now my vote will go onto STTB
unvote
vote: shotty to the body
My reasoning is his inactivity and lurkiness in relation to the fact that he is being discussed as a lynch victim. If he was going to help us he would be providing more content.
If anyone has questions about my actions and cares to frame them in a manner better than their 'gut', I would be glad to respond.
I feel so in-the-dark.
