Well I’m scared now but I’m a compulsive and don’t want to protect a possible town nk but an SK might possibly exist due to Frogs’ role.

Guide me Ranger. Lycanfire is not a VT if that interests you

Ranger Kills: Cat Scratch Fever

I don't know what to do exactly, hope and pray the other team can work with us to keep us five all alive I suppose.

[furtiveglance]

You want to cooperate then. I do too, if we die we die and the other scumteam loses as well

But meh

[Ranger]

Protectives will be on Lycanfire given his end of day work.

We should be fine.

[furtiveglance]

what do you think about my night action? I've got 3 left to choose from. Roleblock, ascetic and hydra recruiter.

We could ascetic CSF to prevent protectives?

[Ranger]

No, I'd pick hydra recruit.

Check for players in recently completed Theme Games, remove those who aren't the best at scum, and select from the remainder. Ideally, a game you were in.
{Something_Smart, fireisredsir, Datisi} are options from Warrior Cats (a game you were in).
{Radical Rat, Firebringer} are options from Cosmos Mafia (a game you were in).

There may be more options from those games or other games but as it's your decision, you'd be the best judge.

The thing with this is that there isn't much town motivation to choose it, unless I claimed that my role was just this ability.

[furtiveglance]

I am excited by hydra recruiter but I think I should use the more useful ones first.

[furtiveglance]

I would rather use ascetic tonight on CSF, or if you don't want that, roleblock Lycanfire. We know they aren't VT.

[Ranger]

You haven't been using your abilities in a remotely town way.

So just claim the hydraizer. That being the entirety of the role is something xyzzy has used before; having extra

beyond

that would actually be suspect.

[furtiveglance]

And why didn't I use it N1?

[Ranger]

And why didn't I use it N1?

You can claim it was a N2 action.

xyzzy loves night-specific actions like N2 vig, N3 doctor, etc.

A N2 hydraizer is right up xyzzy's alley.

[furtiveglance]

I'd much rather do something more useful. If the player I ask to hydra says no, I waste a night. And Roleblocker/Ascetic are actually useful.

I'm leaning towards ascetic on CSF, but also happy to RB Lycan since we know they aren't VT.

[Ranger]

Don't waste those actions.

You're not in immediate danger and we should use those actions only when we are sure we need them.

I suggested the hydra action specifically because we don't want to waste the useful actions yet.

[furtiveglance]

I'm glad we have a bit of time to talk about this.

1. Why do you think CSF isn't a likely protect target?

2. Why do you think Lycanfire isn't likely to be an investigative/also likely protect target? We know they aren't VT.

3. I think my fakeclaim works best as some kind of weird JoaT with weird actions. I could even trueclaim, I had RB and ascetic as the Novice JoaT in schadd's large game.

[Ranger]

I think CSF isn't a likely protect target because CSF wasn't the most crucial aspect of kitten around's elimination, and hasn't done the post-elimination analysis that Lycanfire did. Towns have recency bias. They'll remember Lycanfire's posts, but forget the posts prior to that. Especially given longer nights. Longer nights = shorter memory spans for TPRs.

Similarly, Lycanfire just went through the work to do all that analysis. That instantly makes them a protection target. While we know Lycanfire isn't vanilla, Lycanfire's analysis suggests not a protective role and not an investigative role. If Lycanfire were investigative, that analysis would be done after having investigating, not before. If Lycanfire were a protective, that analysis would put Lycanfire directly in the line of fire, and AS the protective, Lycanfire would know likely no protectives on them. Ergo, whatever role Lycanfire has, it's not a useful investigative; it's not a useful protective.

So we holster in targeting Lycanfire with anything until later.

[furtiveglance]

I could use an ascetic on you then, in case of a vig shot
