All things lead back to Nero...

VOTE: Nero

Whut?

@TSO - we need to start a fan club based around having no fething clue what Boon is thinking and saying at any given moment.

Dibs on president.

You can do it if you revisit 6815 more.

Because that gak needs some clarification.

Real life has me angry right now but I don't think this is unfair:

Boon, after you post some retarded fucking bullshit about attempting to draw the nightkill and other awful bullshit the least you could do would be to have some fucking manners and come in and justify it after the entire thread asks you to

Thanks a lot

I don't know what else I could say.

How about explaining why you're so damn sure it was a Wolf that shot you, or how you know you were shot at all

That's a decent start.

Why did you think this?

I could have asked this before but even if I did it seems relevant once more.

I suddenly think Nero is town and Boonskiies is scum.

Is that for any reason beyond 'current derp'? Because that's what it feels you're basing your call off of and I'm not sure that's a wise divining rod. He's actually proud of his derp, and though that makes me pass serious judgement on his play quality it does not prove scum intent.

So, Thor jailkept Pine-scum and that's why there was no kill on that side.

Boon shot Pine because he (correctly) thought that Pine was scum. Thor absorbed the shot.

I don't know, Thor, I feel we're passing everything Boon does off as derp town.

Like, he says that he was trying to bait-absorb a shot last night instead of hoping for a crosskill.

From a town perspective, that makes literally no fucking sense unless he somehow got powered up from one of the BP-shots being used up.

I am considering his reactions when Pine claimed Mafia. They did seem off at the time, but I was Werewolf hunting at that point so didn't really go too far into it.

In retrospect, however, they're pretty suspect.

He has been my top Mafia scumspect off and on since yesterday, and I suspected him before that. I am not passing him off as derp 'town'. That said - I am not willing to believe that derp=scum in his case. There is a marked difference in the opinions. Derp or no - there will be a case on him regardless, or there will not be.

I intentionally jailed someone I was fairly convinced was scum - how is his concept different from my own? Both of us were, in effect, trying to stop a kill at the cost of protecting scum.

I don't recall any of those twiging to me - I'd love to see your thoughts on that period.

For me derp = bad play.
That's the beginning and end of it - and it can come from town and scum in equal amounts.
Hell, I'm pretty convinced scum (both sides) played this game pretty poorly and I do look forward to seeing the scum QTs to watch the NK debates to see if that makes more sense in their conclusions than it appears to (I will admit with a Watcher flip it might justify the DGB shot, natch).

Heads out of your ass

If there is one, single person we can clear of anything, it's that 2-shot bulletproof (or 1-shot, I'd exaggerate it to 2 if I had that role) cannot possibly be Mafia. That's too much Mafia power

Why do you say that?

Three PRs on one side, vs goon, 1-shot, and something else? The remaining wolf would have to be a bulletproof ninja godfather

Not to mention, Town power is kind of weak. Weak scum PRs make more sense.

The "goon" was a neighbor actually - which some people seem to consider functional for scum (not as powerfula s they seem to think daytalk is, but...meh - I consider 'neighbor' about as useless as Doctor, myself)

That said, currently we have 2 Wolf PR flips and 2 Mafia PR flips.
I'm not sure why the last wolf would need to be a BP ninja GF to balance...couldn't he simply be BP and balance? Or GF and balance? Your stance feels very thin at the moment.

Currently town has a Jack of Trades (with protective aspects) A Tracker and a limited shot cop who can detect either faction (so double investigative) A limited shot Vig, and also a JKer whom you haven't even bothered to try to figure out how many shots I may or may not have left.

So I see JKer, Vig, and Cop - three of the strongest town roles in existence.
Also a tracker and Jack - neither of which is what I would call weak.
Plus the neighbor gak.

How are we "weak" if that is the extent of town power?

Thor, those assertions are based on your opinions of relative PR strength, which I sharply disagree with. Neighbor is a mild benefit at best, and can often be a negative utility. A 1/shot weak investigator is barely better. On the other side, you have two of the most useful scum PRs. Yes, they're odd/even night, but they also support one another. To add a bulletproof member to that, then stack it against a neighbor and 1/shot tracker, they'd be clearly lopsided.

Town has two restricted investigators, a weak JOAT, and a limited Vig. In a 21-player game, that's pretty weak.

Boon's assertions that he absorbed a N1 kill are bizarre. From where? N5 are the only missing kills. There have been two kills every night, except for three kills on two nights that can be attributed to our 2-shot Vig

Just remembered that Jailkeeper needs to be added in to Town power. Are you X-shot, or full power? Full power JK would actually bring the balance up quite a bit, as it's a combo protective/blocking power
